It's tough to realize that whatever action you take, it's your sole responsibilities and no one else should be blame from your action, is your decision and it's your money to take care.
And many gamblers don't see it and don't want to blame themselves. They all think that it's just this and that for any reason, if the outcome is good, they should be praised for it with their bets. But if the opposite happens and they've lost everything, it only means one thing to them and that's on how they should criticize themselves. Because taking responsibilities is being avoided by most people nowadays and even gamblers, we don't want to take accountability when we're losing money because we think that it should be on us. It's already a sign that person is an addicted gambler and don't want to get blamed for their own actions and decision making as they gamble.
Honestly, some people are naturally irresponsible and I categorize such people as individuals who shouldn't gamble because there's no way any gamblers will want to be profitable in gambling and won't take the blame if everything goes south. Which I believe is the personal step in controlling one's buzz aside from guidelines provided as a means to gamble profitably.
People who blame others for their mistake are those who are mostly gambling addict because they won't accept the major concept of the game which is the house is always favor in every game.
They are not looking at it as their fault but instead convincing themselve that it's someone who should be blame, pointing thier fingers as they don't want to stop and just wanted to continue playing, something that addiction can do, it's blinded your mind to please the lust and pleasure that you are aiming to achieved when you are in game or in sesssions.
If you can't control yourself then better not step foot into this venue, you'll regret it once you realize your mistake.
You are right about the mind of gambling-addicted people being blind which is what makes them please their lust. I can remember when I was a drinking and smoking addict. My mind is blind from seeing the side effects of what I am doing while it is open to the special feelings that come with the intoxication but I never blame someone for it and I can say that's what helped me.
Because of this, I said that gamblers who blame others for their addiction are irresponsible and will have a difficult time recovering.
Yes, addicts are compared to blind and dumb people and they fail to consider themselves well, besides being a burden to their families and society. There are a number of people in society who waste their money to become richer and gamble. Gambling is a form of entertainment that has been around for many years. Initially, it was a way to get entertainment, later it developed into a way to earn money, but a gambler should be strategic about his gambling.
I personally smoke in moderation because I know that if I do more, there may be more financial loss and physical harm. I control myself for my familly and reduce monthly cost. Gambling should be completely at your own responsibility and by setting boundaries based on your ability so that it does not go to the stage of addiction.
