Topic: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky - page 5. (Read 2235 times)

Yes I would be surprised. Actually it happened to me just recently: I played a new slot be pretty famous provider and from the very beginning I was losing constantly, I'd lost like 50 times in a row and I thought "This is definitely a rip off!", but the next day I started winning on the same slot and realized that it was just a coincidence that when I only started playing it I lost 50 times in a row.

But you are talking about in-house games. Can you name on, that I'd try it out myself?

Lessons learned by losing are always temporary for most gamblers.  You will see a gambler losing a bunch of money today, abusing the casino, himself, and people around him, and doing all sorts of things out of frustration and anger, they would even say that they aren't going to gamble anymore. Fast forward a week, and you will see them in the casino again, lol . That's how gamblers are, they are unpredictable with their regrets and remorse.

I have seen a lot of gamblers losing a lot of money and raging out of anger but then gambling again after a couple of days, some wouldn't even wait more than one day before they start gambling again because they just can't control the urge to gamble which makes them forget what happened earlier.

Cocaine is associated with so much negativity but clinically it also has its usefulness as it can be used as an anesthetic in surgical procedures. The same thing can be said about gambling, it may have some deleterious effect on some persons but it has also changed some lives for good. Why people most times condemn gambling is because the number of player's lives it has wrecked apart is far more greater than those it has helped. But with caution and the right approach, one can avoid being wreckless.

True, the awareness and acceptance that you mentioned is indeed very important and must be applied in everyone when they are involved in gambling, not least because it is by having good acceptance that it will help you to minimize the possibility of uncontrolled emotions when you are in a losing situation and this will be useful to minimize the possibility of significant losses that should not be done, and also you can more easily do or decide on precautions like this when you are in a level of awareness.

By being a responsible gambler then this will help you to avoid the possibility of addiction which is indeed the point where a person experiences a lot of problems especially in his finances, not only that because it is very likely that you also experience depression or stress due to not being able to withstand the pressure of various problems that come and the rest I strongly agree with the idea of your statement that acceptance and awareness is one of the keys to avoiding the possibility of addiction.

Acceptance and realizations would be they key and this is something which is really that recommended when you are dealing with gambling. You wont really be putting yourself in trouble if you are really just that good on handling up these kind of situations on which it would really be that best on having  that kind of moderation and control is a must on a certain individual. I've been dealing or engaging with gambling for a long time
and i could tell to myself that i wasnt been able to comes into a point that becoming addicted or able to blame out someone just because of the unfortunate conditions that i have been able to experience. If you are someone who do have that kind of personality on which doesnt really accept defeat then you would definitely be having those kind of issues on which you would really be loving on pointing out fingers and this is why it would really be that best that moderation will really be the key.

It is a not a quite negative word because it is a negative word hahaha. That is why if we make mistake just blame ourself hahah and learn from it but yeah sometimes losing in gambling is very make us sad and angry at the same time and yes i agree with you it is part of the game no need to blame the other.


Correct winning and losing is inevitable so we must thread both equally when win we should thanks and when we lose we should thanks to hahah to not blame the other after all this is luck based game like you said everything can go to anywhere

True, most of them, especially those who are addicted, are trapped in a circle of illusion in their minds because of the hope they put on winning, as you said that they cannot distinguish between feelings and logic, what I mean is that they are too prejudiced for gambling which is actually full of logic. and when you put hope in gambling then indirectly without realizing it will create confidence in yourself by saying that "I can win", And when you put hope in gambling then indirectly without realizing it, it will create confidence in yourself by saying that "I can win", especially when they see or hear some victories that are successfully obtained by other people or one of their friends which of course this will further motivate them to act more crazy and aggressive.

However, healthy gambling is when you are able to balance everything, and you can only get that balance when you understand the concept of gambling, especially in terms of possible risks, which basically can never be separated from the name of gambling. So you will only be able to make everything balanced and avoid the bad possibilities that exist in gambling when you are able to turn yourself into a gambler who is responsible for any possibilities that will occur, you will not be too difficult to take some recommended actions that are indeed the best decision for yourself such as stopping when the situation is not possible.

Accepting the blame is the first step to rearranging your overall experience and future risk accessibility because most of the gamblers who have lost so much in the past all did that because they failed to take responsibility for what their current and previous outcome was and maybe shifting the blame on others or even the casino who doesn't allow them to have a self-exclusion.
But then also we have to put in some extra effort to conclude who to blame even if we are not in a good frame of mind because by accepting the blame, you are taking the lesson alongside the pain.

Gambling will always remain gambling, it is an activity that could go either way, so everyone should get prepared for it or just excuse themselves out of it before they start the blame game. What determines your winning in gambling are primarily two, which are your expertise about it and luck. And what you require in them is determined by the kind of games you are playing, so it is best that we weigh our options and risks involved before we proceed. This goes a long way in helping us as gambling is never a thing of force, it is all about the game of choice, and if you've decided as an adult to go for it, you should also accept the risk involved, and not blame others. It's all about you.

And eventually, if you lose through it, you should take heart, because it is either you win or you lose, and if you lose, the house wins, and if you win, the house loses, so no one should cry foul between you and the house so far they do not cheat you. I deeply knew about gambling before I started and this has been helping me till today. It helps me not to be addicted to it and also not to believe that I can get rich with it. This mindset alone has helped me to be more managerial in my gambling and I've never been so engrossed by it to the point that I will be so miserable to be shifting blame. That's just not maturity.

Every gambler must accept every loss they experience in gambling as they accept winnings in gambling, in fact gambling is not just about winning but also understanding and comprehending defeat, the average gambler never wants to experience defeat so sometimes they always blame themselves Even though it is something that every gambler normally does, in the end gamblers must be able to accept any situation when gambling, at least accept all the risks.

This should be a concern for every gambler that before gambling, you should understand the issue of risk before playing, because by understanding the risk we will play with grace whatever the outcome, losing is something normal that must be accepted by all gamblers in this world, the point is to continue learn from every loss and failure experienced when gambling so that you can play responsibly in the next game, don't be too reckless and go beyond your limits so you don't get addicted to gambling because gambling addiction is very difficult to cure, therefore don't blame yourself if you fail but continue learn to gamble with good control.

The good thing to do when you finally realize any habits are not benefiting you but instead harming you along with others that are close to you, you should not to blame others but focus on pondering upon your mistakes and not waste your time thinking about it all day because you need to move on and look for a productive way to enjoy your life. You can always find some people who want to have nothing but good with their lives, to their way of living and their habits are no exception as well. I have been friends with some people who were addicted to drinking alcohol but when they decided to change, they also changed their habits to raising livestock and crops they enjoyed it a lot this time and they also helped others as well when they wanted to join their club.

That is very well said.Most people cannot make a real distinction between the reality that the odds are against them when gambling and the illusion that with gambling you will win a lot of money,that is the real motivator but one should also consider the odds against himself when gambling.Yesterday as usual I played like 90 dollars and kept losing and recovering during the session but I saw that I was staying in the same pattern loop and quit after a couple of hours with the initial bankroll.If I had continued I would have lose them all.

Very well said, but then, not every person understands things like the way you said it here.
In the last week or so, I  created a thread here of a reddit user was said he hated himself so so much for being so unlucky, he said his friends are winning, making money off gambling, but for him, the story had been completely different for several weeks as he kept losing his bet, regardless of how sure he was he was going to win it, and that had made him hate himself, and feel so shameful of himself that it was affecting his self esteem.

Personally, I sometimes feel it's completely crazy how deep some people allow gambling get into them, like the world is going to end if they do not win their gambling games.

It's okay if you blame yourself for your bad luck, because that is a normal response to this bad reality. What is not permissible is when someone blames himself too much for his bad luck, to the point where he curses himself and considers himself useless. That is a complete no-no. Because gambling is related to luck and gamblers must be prepared for all possibilities that they could lose at the gambling they play. And when their expectations do not match reality, it means they have to accept reality with a humble heart.

Gamblers should know about the chances of winning and how lucky they are in winning their gambling games so that they don't need to blame gambling if they lose. They should know that behind gambling games, there is a high risk if they use more money, so they must be able to prevent losing a lot of money. Anyone can win, but it will depend on many things, so they also have to realize that they cannot play gambling for too long because it will only waste their money without being able to have a big chance of winning. Those who come to gambling to double their money will experience disappointment because they will not get it easily, especially since there will be big losses that will come to them if they cannot control themselves. And they also have to think about the luck factor that must be possessed by those who want to win, even though luck will not always come when they gamble.

If more people could understand gambling properly by not using gambling as a way to make money, people would not experience losing so much money. They can even use gambling to have fun in their free time and will not think about chasing victory and will let the victory come to them. If they cannot win after playing several rounds of gambling, they can immediately stop gambling and leave the casino. They know that continuing to gamble after losing several times will only increase the number of losses, and they may be unable to bear it. They don't want to experience the consequences of gambling excessively and also won't blame the casino if they lose because that is the risk they face when they lose gambling. They must be able to introspect themselves when playing gambling so that they can prevent large losses that will waste all their money.

It's not wrong if someone seeks entertainment by gambling. But they must be able to limit themselves to gambling and not use a lot of money because when gambling, they will probably experience defeat more often, which can make them emotional and end up spending more money. And when they lose, they also cannot accept their defeat well and instead deposit more money, thinking they can recover their losses. They are the ones who then blame the casino for taking their money and causing them to suffer heavy losses. Even though it was their own fault for gambling without limits, they experienced big losses. Playing gambling without limits will only cause someone to experience defeat, and the loss will be even greater if they cannot stop their gambling activities. And that's what happens to many gamblers, but they don't realize it and instead gamble more and more often.

It doesnt really make any sense if you are really that trying out to make yourself that pointing out fingers on the losses that you are currently experiencing. It is really that a very common human being behavior
on which you are trying out to make yourself getting comforted with those loses that you do have or simply with those frustrations.Its a common defense mechanisms that you would really be setting up into your mind
and this is why you would really be having those blaming time into those people who are really that getting involved with gambling or someone whose attached you into.

On the time that you do play gambling then it would really be just that right that you should really be that wary about on the things that  you are getting involved into. You wont really be that making yourself
that too much impulsive if you are really just that realistic on the things that you are getting involved with. Sometimes too much expectation or being that too optimistic would really be
leading up with these kind of assumptions that later on would turn out to be disappointments if things havent met.

Well, I hate blaming because as we gamble, it means that we know what we are doing and we are old enough to think if I have to put my bets or not. In fact, we are not forced to do that but we are willing to do that which means, we are already about this and whatever the results are, it seems to be accepted.

Besides, this is gambling and we're not too lucky every day. That is why blaming is not the right thing to do because winning is not just the only expected results but losses as well. Instead of blaming others, better to blame ourselves as we are the ones who decide this.

It's actually fine to really get emotional when you loose a game but then it's also not healthy when you allow it linger enough to get a greater part of you, that will make you start thinking in unhealthy directions and want to do things that are not good for your gambling habit, and may likely cost you some money such that if you are not disciplined enough you may actually get bankrupt from the extra money you will be further spending gambling. After every loss the gambler should learn to further control their selves not to be too disturbed by how much they have lost already but to making sure they.

Don't gamble out of emotions as it will not help you at all become good gambler rather it makes you continually gamble recklessly and to your own detriment and never getting to stay profitable gambling .

But can't the winning percentage be increased, as in sports betting by predicting using knowledge, skills and experience, so clearly this is an effort to increase the chances of winning.
Moreover, this is only an increase, not guarantee, so that anyone who is gambling will be able to increase their chances of winning depending on how each gambler thinks and their abilities, except in casino games such as slots or roulette, then obviously it is pure luck.
Not all gamblers are stupid and not all gamblers are always just gambling carelessly.

But regarding everything that has been arranged behind the scenes, it is actually not arranged behind the scenes, but in the casino, everything has program that has been designed in secret or in secret.
I believe the way casinos work is random where gambler chances of winning can never beat the casino itself as place that provides variety of games and bets.
Casinos do not cheat but they do business and make money, if gamblers are wise and have responsible mindset they will be able to accept all this even though their only chance of gambling is losing.

The desire to blame another person for our failures is a normal reaction of our psyche. More precisely, this is the reaction of people with a weak personality, those who did not draw conclusions and did not reflect during their lives. We are the only ones responsible for all the decisions in our lives, and everyone should understand this. For example, if a friend said that you need to bet on a certain number, and then it did not fall out, you should not blame him. After all, we make the final decision ourselves - whether to place a bet or not.
