That is a nice way to put it, when people face adversity of any kind, they like to blame an external factor in order to avoid taking responsibility for what has happened, and with lotto this is very easy as you can always blame your bad luck for losing so many times in a row, but when it comes to cock fighting this is not possible, since the ones that know the most about it should be the ones to win, so in that case the losers cannot shift their responsibility away so easily and because of it they prefer to blame the owner.
Most people will blame their bad luck and will try to playing gambling in the other days. When they lose, they will becomes anxious about their lose and will try more and more because they thinks that they still have another chance to win. No matter what the gambling games, they will try because they feels that someday they can gets their money back plus their win money. They must know that playing gambling needs to have responsibility to avoids the big losses that can comes anytime.
