The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

Some people choose to blame others in life instead of accepting responsibility for their own actions, which sounds like the case you describe. I've seen it is definitely more prevalent in addicts, when it comes to gambling they can often build up so much rage from losing when they should be reflecting that they kept throwing away all their money trying to chase a big win. You'll often see it in reviews left for gambling sites, where they blame rigging and cheating, but the reality is - most casinos are absolutely open and up front about how they operate, they tell you that they'll take a few cents out of every bet you wager on average, which means if you play long enough you'll hand it all over.

This is text book definition of victim Mentality. People can't face harsh issues so they blame other things that are influenced with. Its sad that governments can't give enough psychologic treatment to citizens to solve these issues. Gambling, as all kinds of habits, fun and very cool way of lifestyle in my opinion. If you don't like it, you should be able to stop yourself. Nothing you experience is a result of something evil. Its all about your own choices. People should learn to control themselves.

don't expect government to dedicate their resources into this kind of problem because they have other important issues to address with. it is the people themselves need to change the mindset on things. because it is their own prerogative why they are gambling in the first place. so it should be them who should take care of their own self.

because if you start looking for someone to be responsible with your behaviour, then, i guess, you are looking at the problem the wrong way.

Quote from: GideonGono on January 04, 2024, 02:25:06 PM

I agree with this, people tend to find something to blame in order to make their self feel better.
We could see it not just in gambling but also in other aspects of life, success, career, lifestyle.
Almost everything if they would found something or someone to blame, they would do it in order to feel like it wasn't their fault.

well, they are only fooling themselves for something that is not the truth. at the end of the day, you are responsible for yourself and no one else. the early you accept such reality, the better for your understanding of your life and move on to create a better path for yourself.

The heart of a man thinks like they will have to make money in every opportunity. When people see a platform that can give them money and they are warn about the risk, they don't bother to put the risk into consideration if it's worth it or not, the only thing they think is to make that money, it is after they failed or the platform take the money from them they take the risk into consideration and then they blame the platform for trying to ruin there lifestyle, not only gambling I have seen people cried like this. Even platforms that promised high return on investment, this is what you heard the victims cry about and it's because they don't know how to control their greed.

How do you act like gambling is the only place to make money to feed, cloth, pay bills and then you expect it to happen? You want to ruin down the company? Grin

You can't outsmart the gambling platforms and that's why they always emphasize on gamble responsibly but some of them want to buy cars, marry and take care of their families. How on earth is that going to work with gambling, no way.

The wish of the man who joining the gambling site was to take the money from the gambling site as the winning.But the wish of the all gamblers was not real,because some gamblers winning in the gambling and others not able to win the game.This winning not only because of the gambling participants,if the gamblers had a luck.They will make the winning money using the luck even by the doing the random betting in casino and sports bets.If the gamblers had the strategy for the game which he regularly play in the gambling site will increase the chance of winning money in the same gambling site.So the gamblers should take the luck or strategy part in the gambling site.

This is because many people see it as easy to put the blame on others than putting the blame on themselves. A similar situation is with a student who writes an exam, and when asked about the results replies saying "the lecturer failed me" instead of saying "I failed the exam" recognizing that it was due to their unpreparedness that they failed the exam. It would have been good for you to openly correct this person instead of only keeping it to yourself.

Because a lot of people try to point at others for their own misconduct, nobody cajoled him to start playing gamble, so why the hate towards gambling. It is always said that gambling is for mature minds, just like you said OP, people should learn how to discipline their self when they are gambling, there should be money set aside for gambling and other contingencies as a person, don't put all your eggs in one basket and later blame gambling for your misfortune.

Most times this things happens subconsciously, people don't really know there are making mistakes till it ends their lives. some might be gambling to the extent of ruin his or her life with out knowing that they have gotten to the limit they will need someone to help them get themselves back.

The reason why people do see the fault in others rather than themselves is because the feel they are right in there actions and refuse to take responsibility for it. Gambling is vice versa it's either good to you or bad to you it depends on individual responsibility anyone who is responsible enough won't let gambling ruin his or her life.

That someone is just saying that he hates drinking because it nearly ruined his life. We all have options if we will take these things in our life, blaming something that you did because you failed on achieving the thing that you want is just plain wrong. Gambling is a vice, it can bring joy, relaxation, madness and different emotion into a person but it all differs from person to person. Gambling will be a different experience to that someone if he is responsible person.

Because it is the easiest thing to do. People find a peace of mind by blaming others. Because they don't want to be wrong. They don't want to admit that it is their fault and that's why they have become addicted to gambling which ruined their life.

There's this relief people get from shifting blames from themselves to other people, event or situation. Accepting responsibility is like staining their personality. It gives them this feeling that they tried their best but the situation, person or thing was just so not good to them. It is because of this mindset that is why they keep making same mistake over and over again without taking out time to look at the actual cause of the issue.

Gambling is not as bad as many people who abuse it paint it. Just like many other activities, Gambling is a healthy habit. It's benefits are so good if done responsibly. Many responsible gamblers will attest that it makes them logical thinkers, this is good for the mental health. Aside that, it excites them and improves their mood. How can Gambling even be bad when it broadens the minds of the gamblers?
The problem is obviously not Gambling but the gamblers but the irresponsible ones will never admit it.

For me, I can not blame casino or and gambling company for anything that has to do with me becoming addicted but I can only blame them if they try not to let me withdraw my funds.

Right! We must take personal responsibility for our actions, even with something as tempting as gambling. However, the casinos and companies promoting gambling also have an ethical duty and they should ensure their practices don't exploit folks prone to addiction or financial hardship.

There's no denying gambling can be habit-forming, often unraveling lives in the process. Still with care and conscience, the gaming industry could prioritize safe enjoyment over reckless profit. If they took reasonable steps to curb predatory marketing and manipulate games to better favor the player, it would go a long way.

Overall, this is a nuanced issue. Gamblers must own their choices but business should own theirs too. Both sides meeting halfway could make the gaming world a little less dangerous for those susceptible to its thrills. But it starts with each of us looking inward first.

You can only correct people you know by their appearance and expression about an issue that if you share some words of advise and correction it would not end well between you two, the conversation might likely change another tune because they won't accept their fault. Its obvious in the way he was talking that there's no need. I just want to add this, not every person we see that we should be moved to give correction, at times silence will be the best move and however if you are moved to give corrective advise do well to know your limit and choice of words as not everyone is advisable.

I would not pay attention to such people and do not waste my time on them, because there are quite a lot of them, and not only in the field of gambling. They are always looking for someone to blame for their mistakes, because they do not know how to admit their mistakes, analyze them, and consequently become better. In my environment there were two such people and over time I just stopped communicating with them, because I believe that you need to surround yourself with only strong people, not those who at every opportunity to make you guilty.

Why would someone not know when he's going astray in gambling. However, gamble can not lead a gambler astray unless he or she didn't gamble with care or responsible as you said.
Gambling is not to be blamed for anything but the gambler who have over gambled should be the one to be hold responsible for his or her actions, and this blames is not for those that gambled responsible but for those that do not gambled responsible.
For me, I can not blame casino or and gambling company for anything that has to do with me becoming addicted but I can only blame them if they try not to let me withdraw my funds.

When people did the wrong thing, what they always try to do is in finding flimsy excuses for that wrong thing they did, in so doing, they try to make it appear that it wasn't there own fault, but instead being facilitated by something or someone close to them, your personal attitude in life is what will determined the kind of gambler that you be or become.

Even if someone did evil today, he knows about what he did was wrong but waiting for someone to tell and rebuke him for doing that, what had he not made a determination of not doing such in the first place, we most times don't accept the outcome of what we have done as being fully responsible for them, instead we beat around the bush looking for a culprit for that.

The main reason is that people wanted other people to see them in a a good image. It is all about reputation wherein many people try to divert the shame/blame to others than being responsible and admitting that they did it themselves. When it comes to failure and fault, people's basic action is to deny that they did it themselves and will try to look for an escape goat in order evade criticism and gather sympathy from the listener.

Later on I realize that, it was me all along. My irresponsible behavior and my weak capability of controlling my emotions lead me to become addicted to gambling. Nothing is bad until you use it for a bad purpose.

Briefly straight up by the OP. Gambling is an institution of its own and every individual is private to themselves so there is no necessity to blame what you internally engaged yourself on for excuse of ruining yourself on the cost of gambling.

How would anyone appreciate gambling when it favours him and castigates it when it goes contrarily to their wills?
Playing gambling is a choice, staying responsible to gambling is a choice and so as gambling irresponsibly is also a choice so, there is no considerations to cast blames on why one ruins its life of a gambling race.

it's true that the one who should be blamed first is the person who gambled, not the gambling thing. because if someone is responsible for himself, he should understand that if he is not good at managing his money and his time for gambling it can disrupt his life. but the problem is that many people prefer to blame something else rather than blaming themselves, even though it is clear that they were in the wrong in the first place, but they don't care about their own mistakes and are shameless in blaming gambling for making them like that.
