For me? Yeah, I blame myself a lot too, maybe even too much.

But I’d love to hear your story. I’m sure you’ve also been hard on yourself, not just after losses but even after wins.
Can you share a specific moment you’ll never forget? One where you held yourself fully accountable, regretted it deeply, and promised, ‘Never again’?

Basically this often happens, deposit - place a bet - lose - then regret and promise not to gamble again, but in reality they will come back when they have money, as well as when they win, try the game - win - greedy (thinking they can get more) - then lose - regret. These are all common cycles in gambling, so there is no need to beat yourself up, if you have decided to gamble then be a responsible gambler.

It all just happens because we are already tempted to gamble, especially when we see someone win a huge amount, thinking that we can do it as well. This kind of mindset could influence our actions and break our promise. Hearing gamblers blaming themselves is very usual because we also experience the same. But despite being in this situation, I still don't think that gambling is bad. It's only going bad if we lose control of ourselves.
