Some times even when they don't want to gamble, but the influence of others gambling will make them to gambe. The reason why I don't like to put my self in pressures is because when am doing things on pressure I make most mistakes because I am not well concentrated, so am saying this because those that's gambling they might have enough money more that you and the amount they can risk might be bigger than what you can afford to lose if you have it. Trying to gamble because you see others gambling is not a good idea. It's easy to lose all the money a gambler have because Gamble is about luck not skills.
Pressurized gambling affects the player such that he wouldn't have enough quiet time to think. He'll only work on relieving the pressure and may not succeed. Due to the complexity of gambling and how it meddles with our feelings. When a player is gambling for the sake of others, he's not meant to blame anybody if things go wrong. The need for taking responsibility in gambling is important. Aside the confidence, it allows a player to think, before doing something, towards his actions whether he would be capable of accepting the responsibility of such behavior.
As said in this thread they blamed it on someone else. To rephrase it I'd say they lied against an innocent person. Outside this context of lying, some people feel they are doing themselves a favor by blaming someone for their troubles. Sometimes it doesn't help the victim overcome the issue. If gamblers take responsibility their action will differ and be more self-conscious. Those who can't take responsibility will always fail because they have a second thought of who to put the blame on.
