Do you take responsibility for your losses, or do you play blame game?
Those who blame others for their losses are plainly irresponsible. Yes, they're irresponsible and are not likely to make any progress. Gamblers should own up to whatever the outcome of their actions is. There's a reason gambling has age restriction not to allow minors into it. One of such reasons is taking responsibility for one's actions while on it. Why pass the buck when things go sour like the biblical Adam but take the glory alone when it goes well? I like those who blame themselves for what action(s) they should've taken that they didn't take or what action they took that they shouldn't have taken. That's the way to go. Those ones are men enough.
Avoid anyone who shifts blame
forso you can guard your peace of mind. They will blame you for not even brushing their own teeth.
