Re: Who do you blame?

Sup, often gambling is blamed for making people part with their money, or casinos are blamed for existing, or government is blamed for allowing gambling in particular country, and along the lines.

Point being, just because there is gambling available, at the end of the day, it's individual's own choice that (s)he decided do it, and no one is to be blamed except oneself if something bad happens.

Do you take responsibility for your losses, or do you play blame game?

Oh yeah I take full responsibility and beat mhself up for it pretty bad when I do stupid shit in general but especially with gambling. This is my secret trick to help me stay away from gambling for long periods of time Wink

I mean dont get me wrong sometimes casinos and games can definitely mess you up but at the end of the day its all your own choice

You must take all the responsibility in gambling. Because here you are gambling knowing the risk, so you cannot blame anyone for your loss. And you cannot blame anyone for your stupidity because it is completely your personal matter. If you cannot control yourself from gambling and cannot keep your limits, then it will be completely your personal failure. And no one will take the responsibility for this failure. It is definitely good if you have some unique strategies that can keep you away from the deep addiction of gambling. Because without good strategies, you cannot control yourself because there are many accidents in gambling and because of this you cannot control yourself easily.

I agree with you. Blaming others for your losses in gambling is foolish because the gambler who plays on his own decisions should take responsibility for it himself. Some gamblers blame the casino developers after losing or have friends around them who give him advice to help him. I think you should gamble with the amount of money you play without taking advice from others and based on your own judgement because dependent behaviour does not allow you to become an experienced gambler. You will lose most of the time through the game and the amount of winning will be very small. Gambling with this kind of mindset can keep you away from gambling addiction. By applying your own decisions and strategies, you can reduce the amount of losses as well as gain new experience and avoid doing foolish things like blaming others.
