In my opinion the Martingale strategy is one of the gambling tricks to get your money, and the longer you play the more money you lose.

I also fell for this trick when I was playing Dice. While my bets were small I even managed to win well, but when I raised the stakes feeling I was a super lucky gambler I lost a lot of money.

Although the experience was costly to me years later I am glad I had such an experience. Things could have been even worse if I had had more money at the time.

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?

My first attempt to gamble was already like 15 years ago or so an i have to say that i was pretty naive back then. I think it started gambling when i saw one of those youtube videos that were promoting that "trick" while playing roulette, where you only bet on red or black and if you don't get it right you double your bet the next try and you repeat this step until you got that bet right and then you have made a small profit. I think that kind of method is not permitted in "real" casinos.
Of course sooner or later you will be unlucky like 7 or even more times in a row and that means that all your money is gone. That was the same in my case.
Now i also know of course that those youtube videos were just made to lure people into using that online casino and that the video creator got money for every user that was referred by his link.

We all have a different experience how we started our first bet. Their are people who started bet without having any knowledge concerning it. Their are some people started with a help from a friend to bet and their are some who took their time to learn before they started paying bet.

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?
At some point, I wasn't Interested in gambling because if the mentality that was instilled in us back the when we were very little about gambling and gamblers.
We were told of gambling and gamblers to be very bad and there was no hope for gamblers so we disassociated ourselves from any gambler or gambling environment.
But I gre up loving gambling from a friend who lived a relatively comfortable life from gambling and I had to go close and then I knew there was money in there, so I didn't start gambling prepared but I got into gambling with the help of a friend and then I grew in knowledge to do it myself.

Usually, it starts with losing bets but my case was a bit different. I have lost 2k in 3 days and tried to recover losses, it was naive decision since new to this industry and was not familiar how bad loss streaks can go. After those bad days, winning streaks bring back all losses then big wins, I didn't know it was the first brick on the gambling wall. I never let the people to try gambling if they have never done this before, it is kind of "save" tbh..

Usually it starts with lossing bets, but your case is a bit different when you lost $2k in 3 days? That's no difference in there I guess? Lol.
However, it doesn't really usually starts with lossing bets. Have you ever heard of beginners' luck? Most of my colleagues before had it, but not me. Beginners luck usually the start for a person to get involved more time in gambling.

Losing $2k in 3 days is a huge loss for most gamblers, who will regret using that kind of money. In addition, it will be very difficult to recover from that big loss because we don't know how much money we have to use to play gambling until we can recover from it. But if it's a newbie, I feel a newbie at gambling might have his luck winning some money, which keeps them coming back a few days later. But they shouldn't think that luck will always be with them when playing gambling because luck will only come to the right person and they deserve luck.

Gambling is a form of a very expensive entertainment but for people losing 2000 dollars in 3 days it is no big deal if they are gambling regulars.If that was a newbie that is a huge mistake and of course he will try to recover his money which in turn can lead to a more fatal error that of becoming addicted.

I don't believe that newbies has luck,this is just a superstition going on in gambling circles but when I was working in a casino many many years ago,I have seen newbies losing like 4000 EUR in less than half hour,it all depends on luck.

Even if you are a regular gambler, losing $2000 in 3 days could still be a huge amount. This is because each gambler has different budget allocation intended to be spent in gambling. If it isn't the amount they can afford to lose, then certainly it's a big amount despite being regulars. It could still be a big deal.

Regarding beginner's luck, it's really about the mindset you have. Some have mind conditioning that because they're still new in some game, the odds will be in their favor for them to repeat over again. It could work for them and that's good. It's all about how you will view things and how you will trust on it to be manifested. There's no harm in believing in beginner's luck except for when you recklessly beleive in it without thinking.

I also entered the betting world with the Indian Premier League. My friend inspired me to betting. But I vividly remember that on that day  Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kings match happened. I got an unexpected victory in that day's match. From there I started betting. After winning the first day i was so happy with what i have earn form betting that defies imagination. But even though I won the first bet, I had to lose the next 2 matches.

When you start to win, you think that now your life will change, that you will be able to earn money on it, but this is a familiar feeling. ) But then the turn of unsuccessful bets comes and you return to reality. To some extent, this is similar to trading, only a small percentage of players will be able to earn money on it, for the rest it will be just entertainment, or in the worst case, addiction.

I bet first time back in 2013/14 for ipl matches on Directbet. Site was straightforward, plus I was ipl fanatic back in the day,  so it was rather fun and made matches even more interesting.

Still have that wallet and can see btc/doge transactions  Tongue

I was one of them, when I first started playing traditional gambling involving playing cards. I got the first win in a fairly large amount at that time. actually not much, maybe only 100 200 dollars. But, starting from there usually someone starts to get addicted.

With age, I started gambling in land-based casinos. and therein lies the fatality, I often lose track of time until my work falls apart. switching to casino gambling, again I got lucky when I started it the first time. I'm not sure, that this is a coincidence or that it's just for beginners, casino services help a little so that victory is on our side. this is just an assumption, the actual fact might indeed be lucky.

but by the way, gambling is now more fun and has privacy when playing at an online casino. I like to play in a quiet place, or quite quiet. this is quite a lot of help in my betting assessment, especially when betting on soccer betting types.

My first experience of gambling was very bad. I lost all the money that was with me that day. Though it was fun. I played about three different games. And I lost all. When I came out from the casino hall my friends laughed at me. Really I was not happy that day. By then online betting was not found in my locality and also was not popular even at the city side of my State. Everything was done and played offline. And the Money was meant to buy clothes in the market but I lost all.
Then why have you decided to gamble those funds if it was already allocated to buy some clothes, did you got some sense that maybe you would doube or even triple your money afterwards? Grin
Hey, we all have these brainfart moments sometimes, I myself in a few occasions back when I was still a high school student. Nowadays I look back and think that's just part of what made that life of mine pretty enjoyable ig. The important thing was he had fun, hopefully though said clothes weren't exactly important enough to be needed to be bought immediately.

I started gambling when I was a little boy and I always become addicted to gambling if not my parent that stopped me by all means so that I would not gamble again.
I'd actually consider learning about gambling at a young age an advantage, the most you have on your own is pretty small after all so losses, in the bigger sense, is also pretty low. It does need supervision though, but if that's checked, I reckon learning gambling at young wouldn't be so bad (I learned in around HS after all).

How much money did you have at that time? you sacrificed buying your clothes because you thought at that time you would be lucky, only the opposite happened, and then you were embarrassed by your friends.

I don't think it was a lesson for you, because you are still playing gambling, the only difference is that you are gambling here in crypto gambling online and you don't have to go directly to the gambling place.

I saw people talking about gambling and how they were making money from gambling, but I was thinking gambling was illegal so I started listening to them and in that process I got little awareness about gambling but still did not know how gambling was done, I could not gather the courage to do gamble then because of my religion, my religion was against gambling, then later I notice most people from my religion were gambling, so one day I decided to give it a try with no awareness how to choose your team, so it was just trial by error I was doing then, but right now I can bolding say I have good experience on gambling now. 

It is ok. At some age or with some thought level, we might not approve something. But later, with maturity the same thing or habit might look ok. You should not take the opinion of other people seriously. It is your life and if you enjoy it doing gambling on online sites, you should not restrict yourself. But one thing needed here is control. You should know your limits and better allot some fixed amount of money from your savings for this gambling related activity. Once you cross that limits and still feel the urge to play, you can go for free games or offers on these online casino games. I wish you lot of success and fun in online gambling in future.

The first time I played gambling was online gambling because I was invited by friends around me, at first I was afraid to place a bet, but when I saw my friend win the bet, it made me tempted and more confident to place a bet and at that time luck was on my side. and won several bets, but the next day I came back to place a bet but unfortunately luck was no longer with me and made me have to accept defeat so decided to stop gambling for a while.

I think that at some point when we started playing in casinos we all made the same mistakes, some learned quickly, others by trial and error, others came to think that the casino robbed them and that they deserved to win, a series of things for which many They have very different experiences. For me, this game is different and each person knows what strategies to start. I know that everyone's default strategy is always the martingale, because it is known that if you bet more, the profit will be very large. , sometimes all the knowledge matures, is learned and already reaches a level where each one says that they have learned enough to see the game in a different way,

Personally, I see the game as if it were a business, whenever I play I settle for a small profit and I leave, no matter how small it is, it is a profit, it is better to have something in profit than in loss.
The type of people who create chaos because they lost 50% bet 10 times in a row is funny, they don't realize that they do not expect to lose 10 times in a row, but it is also inevitable eventually as well.

On the other contrary chance, if you take 1000 dollars and double it 9 times, that's 1 million dollars, would you risk that? Of course not, which means while the chance is low, it is not impossible neither and it's there so we should not be really creating chaos out of it. Learn what's wrong, why it happened and move on. The amount of people who still martingale on roulette style games is beyond insane, and yet they are still doing it and expecting different results.

Yes, obviously, that is something that would be ideal because at one point it is capable of taking that capital to a really large one, but I think that for this you would have to be very lucky and have a lot of nerves of steel, honestly I would not be able, because Just thinking that I'm going to lose 1000usd like that so quickly, it's something that's hard for me, although in many countries 1000usd doesn't mean that much, it's hard to get them, because that means that it's hard work and you have to dedicate a lot to it, Of course when it is achieved with work, in a bet that can be done quickly if the person does not suffer from strong emcoines, or if he simply has the stomach to resist those losses.

Anyway, what happened was already done but the important thing is that you learned from your mistakes especially about the funds, it's best to know that gambling is an expensive form of entertainment and that is why only gamble some spare funds and funds that you can afford to lose. There's no need to frown because I bet you did enjoy that experience.

That kind of experience is not always enjoyable especially when you lose money allocated for other things like clothes and food,this emphasizes your error which is much bigger when you play these funds to entertain yourself and then when the game ends you see that you have lost everything,I bet that this is not an enjoyable experience at all.

The only good thing from such happening is when you learn it the hard way like this,I am pretty sure you would not think again in going and gambling food or clothes or other basic goods money ever again,if you do it means you have become addicted.

my friend taught me about playing slots and I was really interested at that time because it was really entertaining, after that I started to study other gambling games such as poker, lottery and betting but I am not talented at poker and lottery so I prefer to play casino game and betting.

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?

when I first learned about gambling, my friends always reminded me to keep control of myself and think of it as just entertainment, so I don't play like a crazy person who just saw something new.

I realized that losing money in gamblling is very simple and getting money from gambling is very difficult or tough to get, because if we should calculate the number of games we win and numbers of games we do loss and compare i don't think any one will have tye zeal to participate in gambling again, gambling from my understanding is like someone who surmon courage to win and i believe that, gamblling is a game of luck which if you are looking at the lost you will not partake on it again.
That is why it  is good their should be break in gambling after playing a bet and playing with amount that can be afford to lose is important in gambling. Gambling is a game of luck, playing at all time to make profit is risky  because you can't tell what the outcome will always be.

Common misconception when betting or when you are gambling your money, thinking that with luck you will be able to double or make more
out from your starting bankroll.

If the result turned the other side that frustration will take place, especially if you use the money that supposedly allocated for something
that also important to you, you can't do anything but learn out from that mistake.

If you are not willing or not ready to lose better not to play at all.
