I don't remember the first attempt, and based on what I remember the betting platform is Directbet and the bet was on tennis matche. I lost the bet, and it was a try to understand how things work and I never had any idea about tennis and the players involved with the match. From there slowly started to make more and more number of sports betting particularly on tennis and cricket matches.
Sport betting was introduced to me by my friend who regularly gambles,sometimes he will win a huge amount of money, sometimes he will complain of how he had cut one,sometimes he will regret ever knowing how to place a bet,while sometimes he will be happy that he knew how to gamble,,all this things was putting that interest in me.I developed the interest through those moments and decided to give it a try,untill I was able to place a bet.I placed it the first day and I won a small amount of money,I was so happy,and I thought I was missing something huge all those period of times I wasn't gambling ,but now I regret ever knowing how to gamble,but I can't stop anymore because I am now addicted to it.
One of the risk that you might ending up into on the time you do get involved with gambling is to become addicted and having the hard time on getting away or avoiding it which is something a very common problem

for most gamblers which you should avoid on the first place.It isnt really that bad to take up some consideration on making some betting but for the purpose of leisure and entertainment.If you do go after or really that

longing for profits then this is where those chasing scenario and desperate measures do really happen on the time you do make out some bets.
First attempt on my side is on the time i do engage on putting up money into some of local gambling in our community.

Do you know why most of lost money in gamblling, it's because of lacks of masters or understand the gamblling or particular gambling that we are betting with, do you know that some of this people who win in the gamblling do make a research of one particular gambling for one particular months in gambling before research before betting in that particular gambling, i will not blame not anyone who lost in gambling because gambling is a all about advantages and disadvantages.

That happens when you play sport bet most of the time where a certain amount of skill is involved but yet I still believe luck to play even there the most relevant part,if you don't have luck you don't win even if you have all the experience and mastery of the world.
In slot machines you don't need any experience except that you be able to read the instructions on the slot that you are playing and all you need here is 100% of luck and hit that spin button,no prior experience needed or whatsoever.There are no advantages or disadvantages to sport betting or slots,in order to win the only thing you need is luck.

I think we always bet, and it's not always money, but that's the way it starts, in my case Casino bets came with the Poker Casinos, there I discovered that the poker-bet relationship made sense for me.

I did not bet on anything else, only poker, with the arrival of crypto casinos I got involved with other types of bets, mainly PF.

OP:... I think the important thing is not how you started betting, it's how you end up.

True. Because I guess everyone here started gambling with common dilemma, that is finding difficulty in choosing from two or more alternatives which made us literally confused. Well, everyone’s been there, but what is more important is today, how we survived from that and made us good and effective gamblers. I can say that I have been losing from gambling when I was starting, but now I know where to mostly bet that will suit me and which will give possible high returns.
Nobody who will say it has not had such experience of gambling from my perspective, and secondly i believe gambling is something someone can be part of, or participate like in seven occasions and finally that seven times of participation became loses, the way I'm seeing gambling nobody that will not attest that he or her have not lose in gambling before, so some times the lost we record in gamblling is higher than the profit.

I am not very knowledgeable in leagues, tournament of card games and other games so when I started or my first attempt in gambling is playing slot games. It's not very interesting as you can see the same pictures again and again when you spin. What I find interesting is my chances on winning the game and free games if it's a fiat only casino. Honestly, I also tried gambling in an online fiat casino just like gambling in an online crypto casino such as the gambling sites that are known in this forum.

There is no reason to be too afraid of becoming addicted to gambling, the only thing you need to do is to set a budget for your gambling activities and then you respect it and never go above it, and as long as you do this then the chances of becoming addicted to gambling are zero, however if you notice that you are gambling more money than what you have assigned at your budget in a consistent basis then you know that you need to stop as at that point you will be experimenting the first signs of gambling addiction.

Anything that is done excessively, will have a bad impact. likewise with gambling. I think, if a person gambles only according to his portion. then, he will be free from things that lead to addiction. Addiction can infect anyone, including people who are very experienced. the point is self-mastery, and what matters is what you do the gambling session for. if to get additional results, or side job. then obviously, someone will gradually become an addict. I think gambling is part of the fun in today's era, with modern methods of entertainment. without having to go to a land casino, we can access it even if only at home. Unfortunately, most people are too complacent and without realizing that this activity is very risky.

Addiction can hit anytime.  Even if the gambler plays what he can afford to lose if he left his self unchecked, he will eventually succumb to the temptation and possibly become addicted to gambling.  So the best thing to do to avoid gambling is to have ourselves in check.  We must reflect on our actions if we are still in control or the urge to gamble overwhelm us.

As in the case of the Op, who titled his first try at gambling. this is where most of the problems occur. Gambling is fun, also very entertaining. the first time someone tries, there will be a second time and so on. starting from the smallest bet, to betting a large amount. Unfortunately, it is rarely accompanied by understanding and responsibility. if someone has it, he will automatically have good self-control. when is it time to indulge in a gambling session, and when is it time to call it quits.

There is always this first time and I believe for most of us, our first time is a gain making us to try gambling again.  Or if lost we try to chase our losses.  It is always an interesting thing to have a first hand experience of gambling and the fun and interests that we got from that first try is always the factor why we keep on coming back.

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?
As for poker, before I started playing with money, in micro limits, I practiced with play money and a console poker game, in addition to looking at some theory and some open raise tables.

The first few times I played with money, I had the open raise tables printed out and I bet according to them. Little by little I memorized them and I didn't need them anymore, just as I was modifying them as I went along, just like the postflop game.
I had to do the same thing for poker as well, and I did something similar for blackjack too where I had a pdf open that explains what I should do in most odds, like do I hit with 15-16 or do I stay etc etc. Same with poker too, didn't know what beat what, and had to check it, didn't print it out tbf, I had it open on my pc, but I used pokerstars with like 1-2 cents as my preference, and I had like 2-3 dollars in there.

The aim wasn't to win money but to learn the game. But the first ever betting I did was on horse racing, it was a thrill to watch those horses race, the more I grew up, the more I realized it's actually something that hurts the horses and a shame, now I never bet on it.

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.?

I have been a sports guy but the idea of using money to bet has always scared me and the stories of how people lose money to gambling addictions always put me in my comfort zone not to trespass, not until the day Nigeria had a Match with Argentina in the 2018  world cup round 3 to e precise, Nigeria needed that match to be won to make it out of the group stage to the knockout stage just like we just concluded the that of last weeks but the then Messi in every Argentina match is always hot and they also needed that match to qualify to the round of 16, I chose that Messi will score and Argentina will qualify and that is how it happens,  he scored in the first 14 minutes. I was pained that we didn't qualify but I felt happy that I was right.
There is no reason to be too afraid of becoming addicted to gambling, the only thing you need to do is to set a budget for your gambling activities and then you respect it and never go above it, and as long as you do this then the chances of becoming addicted to gambling are zero, however if you notice that you are gambling more money than what you have assigned at your budget in a consistent basis then you know that you need to stop as at that point you will be experimenting the first signs of gambling addiction.

Easier said than done considering that it will be your first-time gambling because the reality is not like that, in most cases especially for the beginners, they are the ones who gets easily drawn because they have that urge to gamble more because they are winning or gamble more because they need to get what they've lost. And it's okay to experience that because it's your first time and you'll learn afterwards that what you did wasn't a good move because you went overboard. So, next time, you know what to do already.

I got my first experience of gambling as a child playing various card games. My first money card game was in my school years.

I became interested in betting on sporting events and casinos much later, when I found out that some of my acquaintances were doing it. They got me up to speed. I didn't take any training courses, I simply gained experience by communicating with the same gamblers in land-based casinos and bookmaker offices.
Are training courses really a thing in sports betting and casino games? I never heard anyone in any of my groups as well as the people I've played that did go through any kind of courses to learn gambling better. For me, the first time I did sports betting I only bet on the team that I like whether they are a sure win or not, I did not even bother checking with bookmarkers and the odds and blindly bet on the team I'm supporting. But later on, I did some of my own research and try to compare it with my friends and bookmarker to know whether I've made a great decision betting on it.

The first time you are involved in gambling, you do not think much about the term gambling. You like to try out and I don't believe that large amounts of money go through it. Each person finds it a different experience the first time. There are also people who don't like gambling (online) at all and they will not start it for the time being. Perhaps a smart decision, it can save you a lot of money and misery. But the first experience can also be a very pleasant experience. It just depends on how you deal with it and how much money you have lost.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

So it's like I was jealous of him and he taught me some techniques but when I was playing I didn't win as much as he did. I always lose in the end.
I'm not sure that the technique will be as smooth as your friend will teach you to play, basically there are no techniques in gambling except luck on our side when we win, if we lose then its bad luck that continues to befall.
In gambling, never be too jealous, that is not good, it can lead you into addiction, whereas if you are enjoying it for fun, you don't expect to win, it doesn't matter because you are playing for fun.

I bet out of curiosity, seeing my friend can win over $100 easily. At that time, I did not think gambling could be dangerous and risk losing money.

And since the casino site accepts deposits using Dogecoin, I tried it and started gambling. I just pressed the button without trying to figure out what to do before pressing the button. The first time the results were indeed able to give me a win, but I experienced a loss after several rounds and finally stopped after I used all of the Dogecoin. Maybe I'm playing blindly because I used up all my Dogecoin Grin

But after losing a few times and trying to learn to play while using a small amount of Dogecoin, I finally reduced my time on gambling. And finally, being able to give up gambling for a while without difficulty.

started from boredom because holding bitcoin at that time about 10 years ago but I want to use it to play something and use it to multiply my bitcoin at that time or just looking for fun with my bitcoin

I saw that there was a sports betting site that supported bitcoin payments at that time, so I tried to start there at first then after that there was a casino site that supported crypto and bitcoin payments until now still playing for soccer bets but not all the time, only free time, if playing casino I just learn to look for strategies to beat the house but can't find them, so usually playing casinos just for fun never blindly because I can still control myself from losing
