Accepting losses is one of the things that shows maturity in a person’s gambling activities. For those who accept their losses, it becomes easier to control themselves and avoid falling deeper into gambling, such as chasing losses that only lead to even greater losses. But unfortunately, not many gamblers have the maturity to accept their losses. Most tend to blame the platform or the game they are playing, suspecting it is rigged or involves cheating intentionally designed to trap them. When in fact, the main problem lies with their own inability to control themselves, which causes them to lose more than they should.

It is true that one of the best behaviors in gambling is being able to accept defeat. This is a mature attitude in gambling because players like this are likely to be wise in gambling, as their goal is simply to have fun or they are not too obsessed with winning. Those who suspect manipulation or other issues are often those who view gambling as a source of income, whereas that is not the case. If one were to think of it as a business that needs to be developed, there would be no misunderstandings here.

Human nature though has it very difficult to accept defeat, in our daily lives, in our jobs we are always in competition with other people and we want to always do better than them which will lead to recognition and prestige. The same in gambling we as human beings have difficulties to accept losses there and most people simply cannot accept such outcome, they continue to play hoping that one day they will turn the fate to their side and they always blame the game, I was one of them that used to blame the providers and never once until recently blamed myself, since blaming myself, I have greater self-control and I can stay without or with gambling as much time as I want or as I see fit to.
