First of all, you should focus your attention on losses. I know that many players cloud their brains with rose-colored dreams, but this is extremely dangerous for your financial health. Come down from heaven to earth. It is unlikely that anyone will be happy with your winnings except you. Also, don't get too excited about short-term gains. Everyone has them, but over the long term their significance is gradually lost.
      Think carefully about your strategy. Try to collect statistics of your results and analyze where you lose money and where you gain. Statistics are stubborn things and they will clearly show where you are losing money, if you are actually losing it. Statistics allow you to get rid of unnecessary emotions.

You must prepare enough money and know how long you will gamble. Determine where to gamble by looking for a casino from this forum. No need to look for casinos from outside the forum because we don't know anything.

You don't need to expect anything from gambling because gambling is entertainment. You only gamble according to the gambling game you want and stop gambling once you have had enough. Don't be tempted to deposit more money. It will make you unable to stop gambling before all your money is gone.

You just need to accept the results of your gambling and never think about recovering your losses if you lose. And don't think about chasing win another day. It will make you want to return to gambling even more and your goals for gambling may change at that time.

Are you going to a casino? Just have fun, IMO it's not really that big a deal. Expect to lose whatever money you set aside to gamble with and enjoy yourself.

It is not something to be too serious about that you plan so much, just get conversant with how to play the game. If it is a skill based game, practice before you play, if it is a luck based game, understand how to play before you start gambling, so you do not end up loosing in a luck based game simply because you do not know how to place bets correctly.

Expect to loose.

Take it in good faith, understand than gambling is for fun.

Some posts above mentioned the budget, and on top of that, you should check the deposit and withdrawal limits of the casino you've picked because, at some casinos, they only accept specific amounts.

Depending on your luck, you could expect your first session to end within minutes or last for more than an hour.

I'd recommend holding off your emotions whenever you gamble so you don't make rash decisions like going after your losses.

I was gambling my whole life so the question seems strange to me.  It shouldnt be too much of a shock to the system of anyone whose played normal games before or went to a fun fair as many games resemble some kind of risk reward which is a very similar idea.   Go slow on the gambling amounts, be sure of the game win or lose before risking anything you will miss especially.   Dont ask us, learning is half the fun surely.

Expect it to potentially be addictive.
First of all, you can't beat the odds. Otherwise every casino would be bankrupt. If anyone tells you otherwise they're either malicious or fools themselves.
Set clear boundaries that you will not cross like a maximum monthly budget that you would be comfortable lossing in its entirety and still living a comfortable rest of the week with your main income.
Never gamble out of savings.
Don't chase winnings and don't go in trying to recoup losses.
Learn what house edge is, learn what gambler's fallacy is.

If you're playing card games, it's not 100% chance based like roulette or dice, some strategies can improve your outcomes. For example, basic Black Jack guides help you play closer to minimum house edge.

Also, know when to quit. Do it for fun, never overdo it.
If someone had told me all this before I had started gambling it would have saved me quite a bit of time.
Consider the above golden rules and you can have fun gambling guilt free.

That made me sound like an old man hehe. 

Prepare your budget on how much you're willing to gamble for today.

Expect losses and you're not going to win a lot so your very first gambling experience is literally mostly for your experience. So with that, you know how to counter that expectation? You've got to think of how you'll have fun with that.

Be open to any results and as newbie in gambling, you could have that beginners luck but don't lean on that too much and as much as I want you to think of the negative results because that's likely. Well, just think the other way and positive that no matter what happens, it's for the pleasure that you're gambling.

Since this is your first time gambling, make sure you are not disturbed by the outcome of your gambling. If you win, don’t be too impressed to gamble more or to increase the amount you are gambling with. If you lose, don’t feel bad, and don’t try to win back your loss. Gambling is all about winning and losing, so when gambling, always make sure you do it with the amount you can afford to lose, don’t gamble with the amount that will end up affecting you after losing it. And one of the things that you should be careful about when gambling is addiction. Make sure you do everything possible not to become addicted to gambling. When you are gambling, you should have the mindset of just gambling for fun, but if you win, you can make use of your win, and if you lose, you can just forget about the amount you lost.

Just relax and don't expect anything your first experience should be as enjoyable as possible, only play what you can afford to lose this is the golden rule of playing in casinos.

Never expect profit and just enjoy the flow and learn the system, first-time gamblers expect too much and when they win they easily conclude that there's money to be made from gambling, learn the facts about gambling, what it is, and what it's not.

Just go with your feelings it's ok to be excited and be disappointed as long as you're not thinking about making money from gambling, gambling is a roller coaster ride with your emotions just go with the flow, just be sure that you come out ok and your experience enjoyable

I believe you know the rules of gambling and you are 18 years and above, by now you should have known that there is no refund in gambling.
Make sure you use a reputable gambling platform that cannot scam you in case you win big money.
Make sure you invest the money you can afford to lose.
Avoid being greedy and take the little profit you have.

You just enjoy it and that's it.

You don't have to think of anything whether you win or lose, just accept it lightly and what matters is the experience of it having the first time to gamble.

Do not stress yourself thinking on how you should react on your first try. Just go with the flow and don't put too much expectation and pressure to yourself.

Again, enjoy! 

It's better you prepare for loss much more than you will want to prepare for win because it's the most likely and when you see it, you don't get disappointed because you have already expected it but if you mind is so absolute about winning then you may face more disappointment than you expected.

There's no need for much preparation but know the rules that guides gambling so you don't turn out an addict because as a newbie it's very much possible you could win and get to excited to continue until you get addicted or you may lose and in a bit to make up for your loss you get to tend towards addiction because you want to recover by all means, just set your mind to experiencing too many uncertainties because that's what gambling comes with most often, no game is sure or guaranteed until it's won and there's never 100% accuracy with any predictions but a good chance of uncertainties.

All you need to prepare to gamble is money. If you have it then you are ready to gamble.

It depends on your goals, if you gamble for fun then you don't think too much about the results, just enjoy each game, but if you gamble to make money then you have to be prepared if your gambling experience does not match your expectations. Winning or losing in gambling is a natural thing, what we need to do is never chase losses, be greedy, or get angry because we are not lucky. Doing this will usually make the situation worse

Of course, first you would need a plan like setting up a goal and limiting up yourself for example trying to win this kind amount which reasonable and when you are losing you can quit early to avoid excessive loss. Before you enter gambling you already knew that there's a risk involved, and the fact that it doesn't always guarantee a win so expect a huge amount of losses if you are planning to gambling for a long time. Plus stop being greedy, if you have won a certain amount you can already take profit, cause winning is like a a small possibility that you could get. And lastly have a risk management, self control like with your emotions.

I agree with your opinion, but let me set the correct order in gambling that can control emotions and not experience high losses.

- The main point in determining fund limits for gambling, all gamblers need to have an allocation of funds used for gambling depending on income, suggestions for using funds for beginners do not set high limits but $5-10 is more feasible for gambling.

- Controlling emotions in gambling, usually if you are disciplined in implementing gambling fund limits then gamblers rarely experience emotions when gambling because they will stop gambling after the daily fund allocated for gambling has lost the bet.

The gambler who want to begin their own game towards the gambling site should find the good gambling sites for the game.The game is not about the gambling it also about the money used in the game.If you doesn’t use the good gambling sites,it will get your money without any loyal games in the site.After finding the good gambling sites,the gamblers should learn the game.The game based on the gambling sites will help the gamblers to make the good winnings at the end.The gamblers who analyse the game in the best way can able to make the correct betting for the game and make the big results at the end.

Well, in my opinion, first you need to choose what you will do at the casino, if you like casino games that depend on luck like plinko or if you like sports betting. This is because in the case of games that depend on luck you don't need to analyze the games, in fact you don't even need to create any strategy to win them. It all really depends on luck, but you will need good bankroll management and good time management. That's why I recommend you watch videos on YouTube about bankroll management and time management when playing at a casino. This will help you a lot to avoid putting yourself in a harmful situation like becoming addicted and losing everything


You will probably feel a lot of sadness and frustration when you realize that the chances of winning in gambling games are very low, normally when people have never played they create high expectations that when they play they will easily be able to win and make profits. but when they face the reality that in this case it is when they are playing and they realize that they are not gaining anything even though they spend a lot of time playing, then they start to get very sad and often even stop playing forever. so expect to have the same disappointment. but then when the person accepts that they can only play for fun and not for money, then the person plays with joy


In my opinion, you should react naturally, that is, as if you hadn't won anything or as if you hadn't lost anything, because as long as you continue playing, you will have many more defeats than victories. So getting a win shouldn't be a reason for you to jump around when the next day you'll play again and still lose everything. unless you plan that after you get a big win, you stop playing forever

A very good question my friend, I think the first thing you should prepare before entering gambling is to prepare money that you are able to account for any results, meaning that it is more advisable for you to put a small amount such as 1% - 5% of the amount of your salary income, besides that what is more important is that you really have the right and correct understanding of what gambling actually is along with the basic concepts, One of them is that you must understand that gambling is a probability activity that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever for the final result that can make you smile, therefore never put any hope in winning because everything there is random and what is worried is that you are very likely to act carelessly when you feel emotional because the final result does not match what you want, and this is also the reason why you should put the amount that you can be responsible for.

In gambling winning or losing really can't be known in advance and you will only find the answer when your session is over, my advice is when you win then don't overreact to it, maintain your awareness of the understanding that gambling is a game of chance and with this then the best decision is to cash out as soon as possible and enjoy it, Think of it as a reward for your dedication to gambling, don't take victory too seriously because this will make you act greedy, and also if you do lose then just consider the money lost as a form of game fees that you have played there, that's all.

I have a question for you. Why are you gambling? Are you gambling for the fun of it or you are gambling for the money? The answer will give you what you should expect in gambling.
If you gamble for fun, if you win you will be happy and motivated to try again and if you lose, you will be disappointed but will be motivated to try again because you don't care much about what you want to get but since you are doing what you do, you wouldn't care about what happened next but regardless of what you get, you will gamble for what you believe without getting emotional because of the money involved.

If you gamble for money, you will get sad if you loss and you will get happy anytime you win but regardless of what come, don't be too over excited to gamble immediately when you win and don't be sad to revenge gambling trying to get back the money you have loss in gambling. If you chase loss, you will only get hurt trying to get back what you might never get again. Above all, don't get addicted, not like you will make life changing money from gambling.
