If yes, I’d like to hear your story. How did you justify it to yourself at the time?

As you wrote, "Man up!". You made a mess, now bear the consequences and solve the issue. Crying never helps, blaming others (even addiction) is foolish/childish... It's easier to point fingers at others, but it can be hard to take responsibility for your actions.

Those who wish will find a way, those who don't will find an excuse. Like in gambling, we need to pick a side and stand on it... It shows character and who we are.

Haven't you gotten the impression it has become harder for people to "man up" in these lastest years when comes to taking responsibilities on the actions they do with their own money? It could be because those people have been targeted with advertisements which have created false expectations on their minds and even though they could be considered to be legal adults, they have not reach mental maturity yet, so they lash out against the casino and casino games when they find themselves losing money, completely different from what they saw on advertisements on social media and on Television, about people getting life changing amounts of money thanks to their luck and no effort whatsoever.

Anyone mature enough who gamblers their money on casinos would first picture what would happen if they lost the money they are about to put at stake and decide whether they are okey with it, so they won't yell on social media if they are unlucky with their session. It seems barely anyone thinks before betting or gambling nowadays, specially the youngest generations of gamblers.

Totally depends on a certain individual on which it would be neither that they would be letting themselves that easily been getting hooked up with these advertisements or not. We do know that businesses would be that too aggressive when it comes into marketing and making it as catchy as possible and knowing gambling business is a profitable one then you could expect that ways of advertisement would be that somewhat aggressive on which means that you can see these stuffs on different mediums and as you as a person who do easily get hooked up on something that interest you specially on gambling then its most likely you would be ending up on having that engagement and the worst thing is that you do become addicted into it. It isnt that bad to gamble as long you do make yourself that responsible into the actions that you are taking then there would be no problems but this isnt always the case because most of the time gamblers do become addicted because they've been that expecting that gambling could make them rich, whereas it do made out that different result instead. It would be just that too impossible that you cant be able to determine about into those potential risks and danger about on spending up soo much money specially at the time that you do lose your control on playing and spending up money into it. Speaking about blaming the casinos then its a normal reaction for someone because at the time that we do gamble then the primary thing that comes up into our mind is that we can be able to make easy money with it but at the moment or time that reality would slap into our face then this is where you would be able to realize that it was never been that easy because luck factor will be the main thing that be needed for you to win and profitable on which we know that it cant happen in real situation because luck isnt something that could be that influenced nor can be forced for it to be applied on a certain gambler. Also, we should be that realizing it out in the first place that gambling was built for the sake of fun and entertainment and not for making money or income with it on which this is that very that common for most gamblers that they've been thinking up on this way and thats why they do end up on becoming that impulsive just because they've been that expecting that too much.
