Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? (Read 3358 times)

My first gambling was actually offline here in my area and as a kid I was once an irresponsible gambler back in the days where I don't care if I lose all my money with gambling as long as I am having fun. Well regarding gambling sites, I was recruited as an agent in an online casino I think that was last year and yeah it ends not well for me until time came I stopped it. 😅

As a blogger & developer, i was earning good enough from websites and then i was thinking about 2nd additional income source and then i started gambling in my local area. This is an advantage of gambling, you can do it anywhere anytime even gambling is banned by your government. Whatever I joined with the hope that I could earn more but i experienced loss most of the time. Although that hadn't effected me much cause i used to bet as much i could afford to lose, Used to allocate money from my main income source. But one-day i realized i shouldn't gambling for earn but it could be a thing of entertainment only. Believe me, i just stopped gambling with big amount instantly. Its just okey to do gambling with small amount, don't be addicted

If this keeps happening to a person then without a doubt we are talking about a gambling addiction, however there are people that can go through an episode like this and then stop gambling completely, in that case we are not really talking about a gambling addiction but simply about a series of bad decisions that eventually led to this outcome, and in that case that person can still be reasoned with, and if possible that person should avoid to gamble ever again as they have demonstrated they do not have the necessary control of their emotions to accept a loss and move on.

Yeah, the amount of money the gambler has doesn't really matter too much because there are maximum and minimum bets on every game.

The only thing the gambler needs to do is to avoid financial ruin. And that can happen very quickly if they start increasing their bets.

And in every single bet the casino has an advantage, so that basically means that the gambler will almost inevitably run out of money eventually...

Large capital should be used to invest or open a business that can provide future profits, especially if we can focus on doing it. If they really want to gamble and win, they have to realize that it is difficult because gambling is not a way to make money. You should think about something that can provide better future results and can last for a long time if we can develop it to be even better.

But what is there is that people will not think like that because they see that gambling can give them a win. They tend to do it as often as possible but they still don't succeed in winning a lot of money because in gambling, they lose more often.

Yes large capital does not guarantee a good winning because your luck doesn't shine every day,  there are times that you will have to build up that energy to be able to set a limit no matter what your capital or luck is because in continuing, you tend to risk more even,  so best you allocate limit to each gambling outing and if online there should be a clear demarcation between when gambling and when not to gamble because doing other wise will limit your overall performance and may lead to a more severe and bad outcome.

Nevertheless, as a gambler one also can go overboard and over-excited to go more further but the outcome of that has not always been a friend and since we have to understand what it means to be addicted,  so we know the risk of getting too much involved in gambling.

That's true and it has happened to many gamblers. They want that luck so they go back to gambling another day because they think they will be lucky another day. And even if they use more money, it doesn't guarantee they can win but there is a chance they will lose more than before. We don't know when luck will come, so we have to control ourselves when gambling and never put hope in gambling to get money because it will never be easy. Many gamblers have proven it and they only experience a lot of losses.

We don't need to follow what they do, especially if our goal in gambling is just to get entertainment. And playing gambling at the beginning can indeed provide a pleasant experience, but we have to know that in the next opportunity, we will not always be able to get that pleasure.

Those things are heavily regulated, so I don't think they would actually do that.

The probable explanation is that gamblers make more smaller bets, so there is a larger probability to get a jackpot, that is it.

Obviously, your friend suffers from a gambling addiction. And, as a result of his greed, he lost the winnings he should have lost. That is, he is also to fault for what caused it. When a gambler's gambling addiction is not properly handled, this is the negative result.

That example, if you see that even though you reminded your friend, he ignored it, and because of his addiction level, he doesn't know how to listen, that's because the self-control and self-discipline are gone, and in the end, your friend was still a failure. Do you understand?

I think Casinos take advantage of that. Games like slots have a system like they will give you a jackpot when you have a small bet. Seriously, I think a system like that really exists. When you play a small bet, you will get a jackpot on a small bet and of course you will regret placing a large bet in the hope of getting the jackpot again.

Yes, that's right, when we try a gambling site for the first time, sometimes we are given a fairly easy win until we have the thought that "it turns out it was really easy to win". But when the next day we gamble again, it turns out we lose, the next day we lose again, and we lose again. Until we forget, it turns out we lost more than we won before

It seems that casinos have a special algorithm that keeps gamblers hooked to keep playing, especially on games like slot machines. In addition, when we have been gambling for several months, we usually don't like small bets, as we are less excited if we hit the jackpot on a small bet. The bigger the bet, the worse our finances will be.

You can control yourself from the beginning as long as the expectations you have out of gambling are aligned with the reality, if a gambler that is just testing the waters for the first time thinks they can obtain massive profits with gambling then they are just setting themselves up for failure, since their beliefs will drive them to make bets that are too high expecting to get some profits in return, however if a new gambler took the time to read about the probabilities of the games, the different games that exist, the casinos they could be interested and they also read their TOS then that gambler has very low chances of spending more than what they planned.

Yes, this incident was almost the same as my close friend, at first he was just trying to gamble, he lost and then made another deposit into his account, and here my friend was given a gift by that party. dealer and he won a pretty good jackpot. I told my friend to stop playing again, with confidence my friend started playing again, from there it started to decrease and the jackpot ran out, then deposited again with much larger capital and lost again, there was no more conscious money to stop.
In essence, online gambling has been regulated in such a way by the service provider, so that players are given the opportunity to win once and many times to beat the player.

Controlling ourselves when gambling is a very important thing to do so that we don't cause big losses to ourselves or others. Setting limits when gambling can protect our finances so that we don't take all the money we have to gamble and this really helps us not to become addicted to gambling. In my opinion, people who can control themselves in gambling certainly have a lot of experience in the field of gambling so they know when to do it and when to stop.

Well, the thing is that at first it will all look and feel like fun to us when we gamble at first and as a novice, if you are lucky to have won the game it becomes as if you have all the luck and want to go deeper until and try out more luck until he loses and learn a lesson,  so is very important for a first-time gambler to have self-restriction and limit in our gambling activities.

But then we all have to acknowledge the fact that first-time experience is always exciting to a gambler even as you experience some ugly experiences.

Sometimes gamblers underestimate financial management and believe that they will not become gambling addicts. However, if losses come continuously, they can become emotional and start to lose self-control and increase their bets. This emotional moment is what makes people addicted, especially those who gamble too often

In my opinion, financial management, self-management and time management are important things in gambling. Even though we gamble for fun, because it is related to money, we have to be careful in managing it

Well, we always sit and play in the trameóndas, because there are many sensations that it can cause us, first of all, a long time ago, I tried to play in the trameónfas and it's like you say, it consumed all my balance and I got a bad idea about the trameóndas. Honestly, I didn't like them, because I didn't see them as very reliable. What I thought was that to play slots, you had to have a lot of balance to see if you could do something, so for a long time I didn't play slots because I knew that would make me lose. So once at one point I started playing slot machines with the slightest amount of money, and then I felt very bad while playing, in fact because I felt very unstressed, from that moment on I understood that slot machines for me are like therapy, it's like a gift to myself, where I don't mind losing, winning is always good, so I told myself that to play the tragmewaves I was always going to put very little balance, but if I lose it it doesn't matter to me, because I have enjoyed that, no I know if it's because of the music or because of the effect of the game, maybe the free slots that we sometimes win, but I love them, especially the pragmatic slots, so things are the way they are, I've always said that the slots are For me a means or service of entertainment.

Since I saw that I can feel very good playing slots, which serve to relax, well I've only been doing that since then, I'm not looking for game but entertainment, or I can deny that these games go very quickly, sometimes I can't last sometimes even two minutes , but that's the game, those are the conditions that are apparent, and as players we must accept the game as it is, there is no other way, I have seen how some players play slots to win, and bet large amounts, I'm talking about people who have betrayed up to 200usd and they have won the jackpot, I really admire them and I know that this can be a great initiative to motivate other players, it is something incredible.

If you can control yourself in gambling it is easy to overcome all obstacles but some gamblers have no problem at the moment but are suspected to be addicted in the future, they can take some steps to control themselves. This includes setting limits on gambling. Apart from this determining the amount of money spent on gambling can also be a good step in this regard also the more time spent gambling the more money wasted. Set a budget before the game and stick to it great if there is a win but don't be disappointed if the luck doesn't continue.

I guess we can indeed count you as one of the most lucky ones in gambling, not very many people took such risk as borrowing money from a friend, gambling with it, and at the end of the day, coming out of the game profitable. In fact, I would say that it is only 1 or 2 persons out of 100 people that get so lucky as you from time to time.

And above all, i hope you understand that what you did was actually very wrong, it is a big risk to gamble with borrowed money, one that is highly discouraged, i hope you have never tried such again, and never so such regardless of the fact that your first attempt came out positive, such luck is rare, and have in mind that you might not be this lucky if you decide to try this again next time.

Yes, almost the average gambler will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle, only those who have lost everything can get out of the circle because even though they want to make another deposit, they no longer have the funds so they are forced to stop gambling.
My first experience playing gambling was because my friend forced me to try my luck in gambling games and he introduced me to many types of games and finally I was interested in trying them so I decided to make a deposit and play slot games, but after I experienced several losses, in Finally I realized that gambling was just entertainment and should not be considered anything more than that.
