Topic: The is always on gambling, never the individual. - page 5. (Read 636 times)

We often miss the complex relationship between personal responsibility and gambling. The individual's part is important; their decisions set the course. Gambling's meant to intrigue and confuse amusement and risk. This doesn't absolve the gambling industry, but acknowledges a dual responsibility. Mindset matters; knowing the narrow line between enjoyment and addiction is key. The balance between self-awareness and control requires ongoing vigilance

That gambling is primarily responsible is one-sided. However, can we blame anyone for falling into a well- camouflaged trap? The relationship we have with gambling, like many things in life, determines our experience. It requires a fair assessment of industry practices and human decisions. This is about promoting ethical gambling and industry operations, not blaming anyone. Empathy and awareness aid the mutual quest for understanding and responsibility

Sometimes, gamblers tend to point fingers at things like gambling when their life hits a rough patch. But it's not just about the dice or cards, it's about personal choices. Like, if you can't draw a line between money meant for a game and money meant for, say, bills, it's not the gamble's fault. It’s more about not being in control. People should own up to their part in the mess and not just tag gambling as the bad guy. It's all about responsibility and learning to keep things in check.

One thing about this issue is that no one ever knows that they are actually commiting an error by themselves until it's late. Gamblers are always found of blaming the game and the system where as the real cause is themselves, I could remember back then when the habit wanted to get a hold of me, it was by God grace and weeks and days of proper self discipline that actually saved me from becoming an addict and also my wife was also an instrumental figure that helped me from the crooked illness of mindless playing of gambling.

Because this statement appears based on the general view of society and is reinforced by evidence which always shows that people who gamble almost end up losing everything. Then another view like the one you expressed refers to the individual himself because he is unable to control his emotions and lacks financial management when gambling. In my opinion both views are equally correct based on their respective realms of thought and cannot be rejected. People have different views so that they can produce different statements about one condition. Don't be surprised because this is just a matter of the results of people's gambling activities in general.

Same, the action you take on everything is what will reshape what you will get in the end, gambling shouldn't be hurting or killing anyone, it's how you handle gambling that makes your life miserable, it's no ones fault, it's your fault.

People are very used to not taking responsibility, when you make a big mistake and you are able to accept that it's your fault, this is a big responsibility on it's own, such men should be respected, because there are many men that are actually women on the inside, I have never make a decision and blame someone else, unless the decisions wasn't mine.

Imagine such people starting to gamble, that's why we keep seeing people losing money and going out to steal from the neighborhood and they will blame gambling as the reason behind their stealing, some will even find people to put the losses on.

There are people who are earning good from gambling, so if gambling was bad, then it would have been bad for everyone and people would not be doing gambling at all.
I know that loss in gambling is a fact and everyone will face loses in gambling, but how you control your money and how you manage the risk will determine how much we gain or loss in gambling.

A person gambling without any plan is surely going to lose money and complain that gambling is a scam.  



No one wants to take the responsibility for the gambling loss on themselves so therefore sometimes they put the blame on the gambling site or sometimes they blame the whole gambling ecosystem is a scam. Instead, they never look at their actions where they put too much money in gambling which they can't afford to lose them.

People tend to blame everything and everyone for their failures. In the same way, you can say that drugs ruined someone's life or alcohol drove someone to madness. However, millions of other people live and, in no way, blame gambling or any gambling activity because they know how to properly manage and control their emotions.
I would say that gambling addiction, which is very difficult to stop, is an internal cause, so internal that psychological problems extend from childhood. You should always understand that all troubles and problems begin with yourself, and you should always look for the cause of failure in yourself. And until a person understands this and thinks that he is not able to change himself, his troubles will continue. As they say, “If you want to change the world, start with yourself.”

A person who uses gambling beyond his limits and almost ruins his life will say that gambling has made him suffer even though he couldn't use gambling well until he had to experience these bad things. And it's normal for someone to say that.

If from the start, the person can use gambling well and not exceed his limits, he does not need to experience bad things that make him suffer. But because many of them are tempted by the offers of gambling, this is what makes them fall for it. This is why we must be able to take good care of ourselves while gambling so that we don't experience things like that.

By always applying limits and self-control when gambling, we will be fine and can enjoy gambling as entertainment. We also will not be tempted by gambling offers because our goal is only to get entertainment.

That's the first thing a human would do when he is losing. Blame it on someone, blame it on gambling, blame it on the industry, or blame it on the owner of the gambling site. "It's all rigged." You will see that a lot from the gamblers in the chatbox after they are wrecked. Well, it's actually true. The game is rigged because if it's not, the business will go bankrupt because the chance of winning will be higher for us. It's not like they are running a charity there. It's a business that is supposed to make money and we should expect that they will keep on taking our money. What we can do is be wise about it. For me, I always just try to increase my wager amount. That way I can get more bonuses when it comes.
All we can do is try to tie the game, we always lose but there's the so-called RTP that will try to give back. Now, when it happens, we have to be wise on how we will spend what we make from the RTP.
Maybe your friend just wants to feel better by blaming it on something else. Let him be. I bet he will be back for revenge and he might lose again which will make him realize that it's on him. It's his fault. We always have a choice not to gamble.

Gambling ceases to be a method of fun for that person and begins to become a nightmare when a person cannot control his/her own emotions and maintain discipline. When we examine the common characteristics of many people with bad experiences, we can generally see that these people's lives are negatively affected by gambling addiction and accordingly people who have successfully recovered from gambling addiction mentions that they hate gambling.

In addition, listening and reading about the experiences of such people will be very useful for people who actively gamble because we can learn from the experiences of such people how gambling addiction affects human life and what psychological problems it can cause. For this reason, I can say that these people whose lives have been negatively affected by gambling shouldn't be viewed as addicts and that we should all learn from the experiences of these people.

Unfortunately many people are stupid and we can't control what they want to say, so ignore it. Just like we see a lot people saying Bitcoin is scam, even you've show many ways to verify if Bitcoin can't be hacked and you're really own the coins, they won't believe what you were saying.

So if someone say gambling is bad, just smile it and say yeah you're correct.

This is what usually happens. It is always easier to blame others (find reasons and excuses for yourself) for mistakes than to realize and admit personal mistakes.

If a gambler finds himself penniless due to gambling, then of course this gambler has problems with money management. You can't bet money that is necessary for other areas of life, such as housing, food, training and other necessary expenses.

If you can't manage (distribute) money wisely, it is better not to gamble.

Well, first of all, the gambling industry is designed to take money from players, so from a gambler's point of view, it is a really useless and bad activity because it makes the player poorer.

Secondly, people think positively and justify any of their actions, even irresponsible and unprofitable ones. Even if they turn out to be a complete loser, having lost all their money gambling and getting into huge debts, gamblers will blame casinos and gambling for all their troubles, and never themselves. Whereas, the source of their financial and life problems is undoubtedly only themselves. Nobody forced them to go to the casino by force, right.

As I have always said before, it's part of an individual's behavior. People often tend to blame someone or something for the negative consequences of their actions. Gambling, on its own, is neither good nor bad. It all depends on how an individual approaches it and how they let it impact their life.

Gambling can have a negative impact on an individual only if they allow themselves to become addicted to it and experience the harmful consequences of gambling, such as losing large amounts of money, selling their assets, and accumulating significant debts.

Gambling is actually a game for rich people but unfortunately it is misused by poor people where they always consider gambling to change their fate and make gambling a source of income, that's why people always blame gambling, because it is poor people who always use gambling. as a place to gain instant wealth when in fact it actually makes them poorer and bankrupt because of their greedy behavior when gambling.

If gambling is used just for fun, it probably won't make someone play beyond the limit, because they know that when they feel the pleasure they will definitely stop gambling, not continue to be obsessed with winning and continue playing all the time just to chase the jackpot. game against gambling machines, but it is also true that it is all the fault of the individual, not the gambling. 

Gambling can be an instrument or a way to destroy a gambler's life, but usually a gambler's life is only destroyed when he has an addiction to gambling. But it can also be a way to fix or improve your life when you are lucky and get the jackpot price in casino gambling.

But if you are a responsible gambler, let's say you often play gambling if you know what to do to not ruin your life as a gambler, as long as the important thing is not to be greedy in gambling.

Gambling is very risky activity and anyone who will start gambling must be able to understand and accept all the risks that will occur, that way they can be responsible for everything that happens when gambling.
But it true that not many gamblers have this way of thinking, they enter into gambling without careful consideration and they only think about winning and winning.

From the story you shared, this was actually very unfortunate because he carried out gambling activities according to his own desires and of course he understood that gambling could only result in defeat.
But he has received consequences that he cannot accept well, he ruined his own life with his wrong mindset and inappropriate approach to gambling, so blaming and regretting ever gambling is not the right attitude.
He cannot return everything to the way it was before and what he can do is learn and take the positive side of the destruction he almost felt so that in the future he can be more responsible for his every action.

It seems like many people experience conditions like that and of course they will really think after experiencing it.

Gambling can only ruin your life when you let it to ruin your life, you're not the only one gambling other individuals are gambling and their life's aren't ruined therefore if yours is ruined it's your fault and not gambling fault. The only time that it can be the fault of the casino is when the casino cheated you and have made you to lose when you weren't supposed to lose but still it's you that used too much money to wager and got affected and you lost the money.

Every individual is incharge to of their gambling account therefore anything that happens to the account, they should be responsible for that. Nobody is forcing you to bet or chase your losses in an attempt to win back all you have lost but since gambling isn't predictable, you'll lose more money instead of winning back some of the money that got lost. When gambling we have to be disciplined or we'll keep losing money.

Several other members also said that, so I think that not taking the own blame is seen as a common human reaction, no matter the context.

In the context of potentially addictive substances and activities, I agree that not all the blame is in the subject, especially when these products are specifically designed to be more appealing. Those who have a genetic predisposition to addiction can blame on them, as it is not completely their fault their lack of self-discipline.

the reason someone blames gambling or thinks gambling is bad is because they only see it from one side, namely the negative impact, so people judge that gambling is just a bad activity and for someone who regrets gambling and losing, it's their own fault for not understanding deeply how gambling works.
both of these cases both start from a lack of understanding how gambling works, such as someone who thinks gambling is bad because they dont understand how gambling works, it's just entertainment that must be bought with the little money they can afford to spend, and for gamblers who regret when they lose, if they understand how gambling work they will never regret because he should buy pleasure in gambling using small money without having to spend large amounts because winning is not a guarantee.

If everyone could understand how gambling works, they would never say anything about the evils of gambling and gambling is never wrong because this business was established only to provide a place to have fun and we as customers are responsible for all the risks we take and one of them is losing money is one of the risks. If people understand this, they will definitely not gamble in large amounts and only use small amounts, which will never give them any problems when they lose and will not think that gambling is bad.
the conclusion is simply about responsibility.

People normally won't take the blame. I guess this is a natural tendency. We often look for something or someone else to point our fingers. We even deny of wrongdoing or of mistakes even if it is obvious.

Perhaps gambling is to blame partly, because it is the thing that triggers somebody. Gambling is the thing that exposes somebody's weaknesses like lack of self-discipline or greed. But whatever gambling provokes is already within a person. And since everybody is thinking and is free, I think the main responsibility falls on the individual.
