Topic: How do i handle my first gambling experience - page 14. (Read 2048 times)

When you first start out, don't deposit too much money into the casino, keep it small and enjoy your first gambling game.
Never expect you can win, this is gambling you should know how luck determines your victory, so don't expect more unless you are willing to lose money because of losing gambling.
You should not think about the reaction, is your first time winning what is expected? What if you lose? Don't be too optimistic just do gambling when you are ready to burn your money.

The most important thing is to prepare an amount of money that you are ready to lose. Because gambling without money means you are just wasting your time. After that, look for a game that you think is easiest to play, such as a slot machine. No special skills are needed to be able to play it. You just need to play as often as possible to get the hang of it naturally. Your flying hours will increase along with the number of games you have played.

Since you said that this is you first attempt to gamble, I will advice you to take the time to read all the beginners guide that you can find, and after that, you should look at some other factors such as personal experience which only come with time and participation from you, so if you want to really experience anything, you have to first of all try it out yourself and to see how best all this fits into your personality and desires.

But learn to gamble with only amount that you are free to lose and be comfortable with and never gamble for income but just gamble for fun as a newbie and if luck comes your way that you win big, you celebrate that.

well, the good thing about the OP is that he found this forum specifically this board, before he started exploring his chances on these casinos. because he will soon be oriented with the casinos and bookies found in the forum. because if you talk about the usual casino game, like dice, roulette, hilo - basically you don't need tutorial or any of that sort. you know why? because most of them are just governed by common sense. you can try them in one or two small bets, and you already know how it works. else, you can also read the info for each game. otherwise, the search button now is quite handy, so long you have internet connection.

as he is already in this forum, what he can do >>>
 - browse the threads in the gambling board and check out those casinos/bookies
 - check the trust summary of the casino's/bookie's rep, so he has idea if there is any existing complaints/issues
 - read the respective thread of the casino/bookie to gain insights what's going on with the site, this forum will give him comprehensive feedbacks he can't find from any other review or rating site
 - check the scam accusations board of this forum and see if there's any ongoing accusation in any of these casinos
 - read the threads on this section and for sure he will gain a lot of reviews to basically anything about gambling - strategies, casino features, games, payment methods and more

Nice to meet you and hopefully through a discussion on this occasion, it can make you a wise enough gambler. Here I don't know your reasons or motivations for entering the world of gambling, whether it's because you want to have fun or look for a profit. However, it is important to consider gambling as entertainment, not to seek profit or increase your wealth. For the first time, you must first learn the rules of the game and understand the risks. and don't forget to set and enforce boundaries in terms of time and money.

And whether you win or lose, just act normal. Don't let the winnings you get make you even more ambitious in gambling in the hope of achieving bigger wins than before. Being able to win in gambling is not something that is easy for us to achieve, so control your emotions and yourself as much as possible, when you get a win it would be better if you immediately cash it in and take a break from gambling activities to think about allocating the winnings for other things. which is more useful and meaningful, compared to having to spend it again on gambling. Likewise, when you experience defeat, never use defeat as an excuse to bet even crazier in the hope of recovering previous losses. and the final message, don't be tempted to gamble beyond your financial capabilities, gamble according to the amount of money you are prepared to lose.

You don't need to gamble. You could go your whole life without gambling and be happy. The older and wiser you become before ever trying gambling, the less susceptible you will be to the trap it creates for people. Bear in mind the casinos have absolute control over the internal workings of every game you play and may even try to manipulate the results for new accounts, giving the impression that you will get many wins - but it might only last for a short time before it reverts to the usual house advantage. Maximize all welcome bonuses but make sure you read the fine print and fully understand it, so you don't miss out on free money. You can actually make a lot of money from those initial bonuses, so don't ignore them and ask questions here if you don't understand the terms.

 I never really thought of preparing myself for my first gambling experience. I was advised on first sex but not on gambling. I just completely go on without thinking of something like a strategy but as my first experience in crypto, it was a dice game. It's not a game that you will need to think about before doing something.

But you are lucky to have some advice before trying it out and like my experience, I think just a simple game first such as dice. Win or lose don't overthink it.
There is never a chance for you to learn when you win all the time. After losing, I think you will be looking for strategy too.

Set a limited budget to gamble, which shouldn't involve money you can't afford to lose. Only use money you would use for entertainment purposes. Keep your funds destined to basic expenses and emergencies apart. Never go beyond that initial budget.

You can expect to have a fresh experience which might excite you a lot! That is why you should be careful with your emotions and impulses. However, you should expect gambling to be a pleasant activity where you have chance of growing your money, although you must be aware the chances are against you on long term, what means it's not intended to be a reliable method to make extra income. It's not a side hustle, neither a life changer.

React quitting the game, once your budget is gone, or once you made some profit. Those are the only two alternatives you have being rational and seeking for a healthy experience in gambling. Don't give too much space to your imagination thinking about another decisions which go beyond those two. That will be dangerous for you.

The one mistake that some newbie gamblers make is to see gambling as a means of earning money and making a living out of it. As a matter of fact, winning in gambling doesn't depend on how professional the bettor is; it is totally dependent on luck. There are some gamblers who luckily make some huge, abrupt money on just a few bets, but some other gamblers can be gambling for several months but will not make any cool wins.

That's to tell you that in gambling, it's only luck that can make you win, and that's the reason why you must not handle gambling as an occupation because it doesn't offer a sustainable means of income.

Also, you have to practice self-discipline when gambling. Do not gamble more than you can afford to lose, and you should also set a timetable for gambling to be sure that you are not gambling at the wrong time. That will help you not become an addicted gambler.

Just some common ideas with how gambling should be done; set a mindset that greed will never be of any help and assume that losing will be always part of the game. Be preventive than chasing the win; it'll be a better trait in the long run given that losing is more likely to happen in most instances. Always have your awareness and consciousness of every gambling outcome; if you are continuously losing and already uncomfortable of what is happening, take a pause and don't wait for frustration to take place which would make the situation even worse. We've all been to our younger selves not only in gambling but also with other industries. It is simply the phase wherein we tend to be curious and interested to many things and it should be where precautionary measures should take place. Be confident as well and always know your boundaries financially, emotionally, and mentally to avoid going too much and just regret afyerwards. Gambling will not always be fun and all. Lastly, never be too careless whenever you are winning; always make sure to secure a portion of your profit and avoid greed.

I hope that in your first session you experience a win as they say the beginner's luck so there is not much to handle,you will feel a certain joy of how easy is to make money by gambling,although this is a false sense of happiness.In the occurrence that you experience a lost session then this need a bit of preparation.You should know that the odds are against you when you start gambling no matter as you may see for example sport betting odds of 1.10 and you maybe confident know that lost games can happen,not longer than today Bayern Munchen with an odd 1.10 lost their game.So don't be sad is the real first lesson to be learned,if you come into gambling be prepared for any outcome and don't be sad,that is all I can say.

what about gamblers who are not senior citizens? I feel excluded(JK)

compose yourself, don't expect too much, gamble what you can afford to lose, gamble responsibly, and try to enjoy your first gambling experience.

you should really burn it in your mind that in the long run, the chance of you losing is higher than you win.

that entirely depends on you but overall try to compose yourself especially if you are losing. gamblers that are losing usually are emotional and tend to make decisions that they'll regret later so composing yourself is one of the best things to do when you are losing or winning.

Expect losses
Expect disappoinment
Expect stress
Expect annoyance

But there would really be moments or times that you would really be able to win, it would really be basing up on how lucky you are on a particular moment or time.
You should really be that making yourself be prepared on whatever losses that you would be able to encounter on which this had been always the normal part.
Just like the rest been saying and recommending is that you should really only spend on the money on which you can only afford to lose
and dont expect yourself to become rich with gambling because this is where things or addiction usually starts.

- Have a budget.
- Spend less than 2 hours gambling if it is casino games. If it is sports betting, go with a single bet first. Do your home work on the teams.
- Do not loan money to gamble. When you have your first win stop gambling. Do not try to stake again for a win you think would be bigger than the first one.
- Read the Terms and conditions of the casino or sportbook before you register and fund your account.

- You may lose.
- You may have the urge to purse your loss with another bet. Don't.
-

I don't know exactly. We react to things differently. It is not consistent for all gamblers.

The safe way to maintain a particular standard of gambling so that you will not over gamble or easy become a gamble addict is to gamble with the only amount that you can afford to lose.
There are something that new gamblers fails to know. And still when staking on a bet don't bet to win just bet like you are given out your money to someone that you know already, just in any way you did not win you can be able to stay.
However, at your first try in bets, you might be thinking you will win but when time come you will get to know that gambling you don't have to put your hope or trust in it.

Calm down!!! you don't need to be tense in the first gambling because there is no need to prepare to work here, the most important thing is to set your bankroll a little and play with fun, if you expect to win too much then this will be difficult.

Then what reaction? If you win as a bonus, if you lose don't take it as a problem.

Many people will advise you not to spend too much money but then again this is gambling sometimes you are not able to refrain from being emotional and now then this is a lesson learned so that you do not overdo it in gambling.

The first preparation is to prepare yourself to accept the reality of whether you win or lose, because if you cannot control yourself, you will lead to your destruction.
You have the right to win, but if you think that gambling can increase your money instantly, you are very wrong
the first reaction when winning is fun & curious
The first reaction when losing is of course annoying and regretful for playing

Welcome to the world of gambling. A world full of possibility and uncertainty. When gambling, there is no guarantee that every time you play you will win. All of this just takes the form of a possibility of winning and a certainty of losing. And to increase the chances of winning, you must at least have basic knowledge and skills in gambling, you must master a strategy for placing bets and carry out a fairly thorough analysis before placing a bet.

But before talking further about this. There are more important things that you must have and master, namely good self-control and good financial control too. Because if not, then the gambling you do will only end in loss and regret. So apart from having to limit yourself to the gambling activities that you will carry out, you also need to implement what is called a deposit limit. And it's a good idea if you bet according to the amount you can afford to lose.

That's funny, you are actually asking what to experience during your first time gambling well let me get straight to the point, don't expect much as gambling can be something that can disappoint especially when you are playing for monetary purpose. Just most people advice here, gambling should be done  for recreational purpose that for fun and nothing more, if you are lucky that you had profits when having fun then you take it and if it goes sideways you still take it with good faith so in all just try and have fun and most importantly don't gamble with funds you know will affect you when you lose it.

If you want to gamble just for the entertainment you can get out of it there is not much to do, just keep control of the money you spend, and this can be easily done by deciding before you start to gamble how much money you are willing to use during your session, so once that amount is reached you stop gambling and then do something else with your time, and as long as you follow that simple rule everything else is optional and up to you.
