I think your suggestion will be the best for a newbie to gamble on instead seeking for a gambling platform on the forum. There are of gambling platforms that are very easy to understand for a newbie to perfectly use them especially online betting companies.
That being said, I also want to suggest that you don't dive in to gambling without getting the basic knowledge of the activity as well as knowing the best precautions that'll help keep you in check as a newbie. A lot gambling addicts today are people who started gambling without a prior knowledge of how gambling works and and when to draw the curtain especially during the moments of loss. So if a gambler doesn't have the basic knowledge of gambling, it's absolutely unwise to start gambling without seeking proper basic knowledge.
They are not in the best place where they can learn a lot of information so maybe the next thing they need to do is to read more information base on the suggestion and discussion made here. And if they are consistently trying to learn a lot of things about gambling for sure in short time span they can easily understand how gambling really works. There are so many newbies got easily addicted without knowing anything since they are the one who's easily to get fooled and they didn't even realized that they are been caught up with the trap set by those people trying to influence them to gamble.
That's why for newbies to avoid any huge mistake they should gamble when they get enough experience since this could bring them more exciting feeling especially if they are familiar on the casino and its games then play casino games smoothly without encountering any issues.
I was having this conversation on a different thread and would like to say that knowing gambling is great, but its application is greater. Addiction most times isn't caused by lack of knowledge, anybody can become addicted to anything, despite being fully aware of the safety routines attached to it. Some safety methods of gambling when practiced will reduce the rate of addiction, yet I don't understand why most people don't follow instructions. Because in this forum, gamblers frequent this gambling section, and what is mainly discussed is gambling addiction. But, members still become addicted. Depression and hopelessness can push somebody into gambling addiction. Instead of tracing the root of the problem, they'll blame it on gambling. Then, the problem gambling boosts as the gambler tries to reverse the addiction or get cured. Gambling experience can be gotten by reading alone. Playing games often helps newbies to get experience in gambling.
Once the person, doesn't get addicted after some time, he can be said to have been experienced in gambling. Those who don't engage in gambling, but study every day about gambling and how to manage money will easily become addicted the season they engage in gambling activities. Unless they talk to people who are quite knowledgeable in gambling, they may not be able to control what's up for them at the time of gambling. A lot of them, lose huge amounts in gambling because it's not all about reading or studying the disadvantages of gambling. During gambling, lots of factors come into play, which can mislead the gambler to make the wrong decision. Some get disappointed as they don't seem to understand gambling. From what they've read, all the strategies don't seem to work.
