They are just bad losers, I am pretty sure you have met a lot of them not only in gambling but in life, they are the ones that cannot tolerate things not going their way and they even get mad when losing an insignificant board game or another non-transcendent activity.
So when they lose a lot of money when they gamble, they cannot help but to think that somehow they were cheated and create elaborate conspiracy theories about why this happened to them.
Indeed, in my life I have met such people who simply raged and cursed dirty and loudly and even began to smash everything around when they lost even in some completely frivolous game.
I concluded for myself that such a character, one might say explosive character, is characteristic of people with a schizophrenic mindset. Not obvious schizophrenics, but people prone to the fact that they think that everyone offends them and is looking for conspiracy theories everywhere. Of course, they are what is called a little strange people, but they cannot be called crazy either. But I have met very few such people in my life.
Nevertheless, they exist, and apparently it is these people who are capable of conducting all sorts of lengthy and more thorough investigations of abuses, for example, in gambling in a casino. But in reality, it is precisely such abuses, as they thought up for themselves, that simply do not exist in life.
Your insights open up a Pandora's box of how folks handle the bitter pill of losses, not just at the casino table, but in the high-stakes game of life. The trend of pinning the blame on external baddies when the odds are stacked against us is rather widespread, but it's cranked up to eleven in some souls. This may not be a signal for schizophrenia, but rather an alert for cognitive distortions, where our mind spins a web of alternative truths.
In the roulette wheel of gambling, 'gambler's fallacy' is the celebrity cognitive distortion. This is where the gambler bets his boots that if something's been on a hot streak, it's due for a cold shower, and the other way round. Thus, those on a losing spree often craft elaborate conspiracy theories, swearing they've been hustled. As for your intriguing take on these individuals going full Sherlock in the gambling industry, it's definitely tweet-worthy. Their gumption might shine a light on under-the-table dealings, though it's critical to mention that their accusations are usually as baseless as a cloud, birthed from their cognitive distortions. By advocating mental health awareness and cognitive behavior therapies, we might help these folks hit ctrl+alt+del on their distorted worldviews and reframe their gambling habits.
