Not sure if this has been brought up before, but it crossed my mind so I’ll just throw it out here…
Have you ever been in a situation where you took a big loss. clearly because of your own mistake but instead of owning it, you ended up blaming the casino? Maybe made some excuses just to avoid feeling stupid?
This kind of mindset can mess with us. If we keep shifting the blame, we never really reflect on what we did wrong. We stay stuck, and the same cycle just repeats. So now I’m wondering anyone here willing to admit they’ve done that? Blamed the casino or the system for their loss, though deep down you knew it was on you?
If yes, I’d like to hear your story. How did you justify it to yourself at the time?
Situations like these occur when the said gambler has bragged among his peers and end up losing, out of embarrassment, they'll channel all their frustration to the Casinos they gambled with instead of taking blames for their own mistakes, the Casino didn't choose predictions for him, they gave him options and he made his choice. Also casinos don't force anyone to gamble they advertise their business then attract and get costumers so instead of complaining the gamblers should try to quit gambling, since they can't control their emotions when they lose.On a second thought frustration can cause people to use the wrong statement.
