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?
Yes, I may have done that. It was actually my fault, but I speculated that the system was faulty.
It's true that I only played small amounts and made a small profit, but I kept playing, ultimately losing, far less than my initial investment.
At first, I felt like the system was faulty, a scam, etc.
But after it was over, I thought, if I'd just won a little and left it at that, maybe that mistake wouldn't have happened.
So, I don't think we can unilaterally blame the system, the casino, or the gambling provider. They only provide the venue; we can control how we play.
