Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 14. (Read 3286 times)

So, it is, well, not all players have the same perspectives, things have a different way of looking when they are shown to players who have more experience, as far as I am concerned, I have seen the attitude of some friendly players, they see the game almost like a necessity to do, it doesn't matter that it's every day in a moderate way, this makes things change in them, in their brain, it doesn't matter that things don't happen to them, even if they lose, I think finally They understand that the game is made practically for fun, that every time they play they have to have that money ready to be lost, but don't feel sorry for things to keep flowing, I say this from the point of view that I have a couple of friends, who always play street games, but it's a somewhat safe street game, because they do it with the cops.

The border police always let some contraband through, this friend is going to play with them betting on dice, and I have had the opportunity to see how he also loses and still does not lose control, I know he is angry , and he even swears at the Police, but the truth is that 100% of what he talks about, 90% is pure Rudeness , but they still know what he is like, and even though he has losses , he has had more gains than losses , That's something I don't Understand , however when they play he tells them that what they do is "rattle" and "rattle" is a word that means something like taking money from those who smuggle and that they also use that smuggling they have their cut, that is what the word is basically assigned to the police, and since everything is money in the world, these things are common in these third world countries and since it is the most Active frontera in all of South America , they are things that all the military, police guards do whatever it takes to be able to send them to that border, because in a matter of a day they are Capable of making up to more than 500 usd , they all fight to go there, so what I rescue here is that despite that players lose, there is always something they like about this type of game, whether on the street, in traditional casinos , or in online casinos , the attitude of a Mature player Always has to be one of acceptance and maturity in order to continue Maintaining afloat on this.

And we shouldn't ignore those feelings because they usually won't lie about what we're dealing with. And stop immediately if you feel that everything is not as you think because by stopping, we can calm down for a moment and think about everything. And what is certain is that if we stop gambling, we can also prevent losing money which might increase. We also will not experience or get other problems. We can also learn to start controlling ourselves before starting to gamble again.

Feelings are malleable; one may be pleased one minute and then wear sad faces the next by the same gambler who made a fortune from gambling. Governance will also spare us enough damage in order to get us back on track. Gambling damages us specifically when we start calculating losses. We learn best through experience, whether it be unpleasant or positive. Based on our selections, it is usually not advisable to continue making mistakes that would jeopardize our intentions of progressing to the suckling stage in gambling, rather we look at the brighter side and make good profits.

My inaugural tryst with gambling took the form of a soccer showdown. No digital platforms involved, just an intimate tête-à-tête shared solely between my uncle and me. The event in question unfolded as the clash of titans: Manchester United vs. Chelsea, circa the splendid annum of 2011. My wager stood at a princely sum of approximately $1, staked gallantly on the crest of Manchester United's triumph. In counterpoint, my dear uncle cast his lot with Chelsea, envisioning their glory on the field. The stakes? A single greenback, tendered post-match by the vanquished to the victor.

Lo and behold, Man United emerged victorious, their conquest etched in a 2-1 scoreline. Thus, the spoils of my foresight, an ample dollar, were ceremoniously handed to me by my kin, sweetened by the companionship of an ice cream treat. Those halcyon days saw me at the tender age of 15, the thrill of victory bypassing the lure of gambling addiction. The realm of wagering, in its entirety, remained firmly within the embrace of my self-possession.

If you actually do your research then probably almost no one would gamble.

If you see the maths behind it, it tells you that the expected return of your investment is negative.

Of course doing anything in moderation is fine, if you get some positive aspect from it, but it's a slippery slope.

Same as with alcoholics, some people just can't drink in moderation.

Being aware of our own feelings is important, sometimes out of fear of accepting the difficult reality that is right in front of them people decide to ignore their instincts and this is a mistake, if we are feeling as if we are losing control over our gambling especially just after discovering then it is important to quit immediately, as those feelings are not going to change at all if we keep gambling and if anything they are bound to get many times worse.

some people here say about the most common first experience is defeat but they think its a bad thing because it makes someone addicted but for me its not. If a beginner gambles using $5 and loses, he should think this is very bad and not come back because losing $5 is not a big amount and it is enough to test that he is not a lucky person at gambling.
unlike the rookie gambler who loses $5 on his first bet and keeps coming back for his losses.

its quite easy, from this problem we conclude that someone experience is different between winning and losing, but the most important thing here is having an adult mindset will be better.

Gambling is really addictive and can often lead to huge losses of money if you don't stop yourself. Gambling can be both stressful and costly. When you lose money gambling, you keep taking bets to make up for the money you have lost. If this loss continues, you will have the risk of losing all of your money. That's why we need to set a limit for ourselves. I can say that when I first started gambling it was exciting. For me it was just a high-risk coupon, so I didn't expect much. We prepared it by meeting with friends around a common idea and we played by depositing a common amount. I must say that I was upset when my coupon failed in a match. Although it became a little addictive after a certain time, I knew how to stop myself and started to brake myself. I wasn't losing money, but I thought it would end badly.

Gambling is something that most people know about from friends. Gambling is very risky but there is a lot to be gained from it and many do it but no one can sustain it. Because after winning in gambling he becomes more addicted to gambling and then due to excessive gambling which he loses once again. But there are a few smart people who withdraw their winnings and never gamble a second time to gain from gambling.

I think I was first introduced to gambling when I was still very young. I guess I was still in high school back then.
My friends and I used to play games while wagering something. I wasn't fully aware that what we were doing at that time was already considered as gambling I was only educated about it when I told my parents stories of how my friends and I were hanging around after classes. The experience was fun and interesting. I got thrilled by the fact that I'll be able to get something bigger than the amount of money that I was betting as long as luck is on my side. Since I was told by my parents not to engage myself in such acts ever again, I have since avoided gambling.

However, in our digital world right now, I believe that there's nothing wrong with gambling as long as you are doing it moderation and you've done a lot of research before wagering something.

Gambling experience begins with learning, it's either one was introduced by friends or decided to make the decision by self, gambling is also what we so wish desired to take because it gives us an atmosphere of having fun, some joined because they are tired of being lonely, some because they have passion for sports while some think it's a quick means to making money, but the common first experience with gambling is loosing your first bet when you newly join as a newbie gambler.

But unfortunately, what happens is that there are still many people who want to recover their losses by coming to the casino another day with more money. Maybe that's what a beginner feels when he loses some money after playing gambling for a while. They don't think that experiencing loss at the casino is something that can happen to everyone who gambles and they shouldn't be tempted to recover from that loss so they have to be able to leave their ego behind not trying to take the money they have lost at the casino. It certainly won't be easy because many people have tried it but many have lost even more money and they still don't realize that recovering from that loss is the hardest thing they can do. And if they don't control him, he will only get deeper and will keep coming back to gambling and this is what makes him a gambling addict.

From the first experience of playing gambling which did not provide comfort in the sense that he had lost, coupled with the desire to return to gambling another day, it became even more out of control because of the desire to get back the money that had been lost at the gambling table. This is the same as using more money to accept more losses and in fact it is not feasible for both novice gamblers and ordinary gamblers to do. The more often they gamble, the possibility of losing will still be there and the more they will lose so that it will be even more difficult to recover the lost money.

But many can also get a pleasant experience from playing gambling for the first time because they can bring home some money and celebrate it with their family and friends. And this can also make them want to return to gambling because they think that gambling turns out to be fun and can provide entertainment for them. But if they want to read the news about gambling, what are the consequences of playing gambling, and others, they will see that gambling is just entertainment and not a place to make money.

It is very true, here things must be made very clear, when a person knows that they have spent a lot of money in a casino, they know that to recover that money, at least in the casino, is not the most appropriate, they have to look for that money from another way, and if the player does not understand that he can quickly fall into an addiction problem, it is something that will harm him, also the person knows that if he continues playing he can continue losing even more in the game, so a newbie always has that dilemma of what Would it have happened if I had continued playing? As everything would have been, regularly the people that this happens to return to the casino, and obviously the results are not the best, no type of profit is achieved, and now, if the person does not control himself, then he simply loses what he has and that is not and should not be the objective, it is difficult to explain to someone that the casino is for fun.

Players when they enter a casino for the first time always have the illusion of winning money that comes to mind, they are not like us I know that the first thing we see or think about is how much money we are going to lose or how much money I am willing to lose, the It is very difficult for a novice player to think like this, which makes one think how much money is going to multiply, the bad thing is that when they do not succeed, the blow is too hard and causes some disappointment, failure, some do not even return to the casino.

I remember that when I started I thought like this, in fact I started with very little money and then facumulating, and the truth was I didn't know but I was very lucky, I played without patterns, I just told myself that this could work out and it did work out, it was pure instinct how I did it , because it would be a lie to say that I did it under a strategy, some do enter with strategies, I started with something simple, which was with dice and that was enough to have a lot of fun, once I played on a platform, well, I started looking another to see if I had more luck, I had that belief, however I found other casinos so that the game was there but not how I played it there, that's where the whole adventure began.

If when you start, you already feel you will be addicted, you should not continue because usually, the feeling does not lie. And I guess by now you know that you might be "a little" addicted but don't admit it. Many gamblers are such that they still won't admit it even after some say they have a terrible gambling addiction. This is because it is related to self-esteem that other people do not want to put down and still show their self-defense that they are fine.

So when we first play gambling, and it turns out that we get a new and good experience, we want to get that experience again at the next opportunity. But everything will not be the same as what we expect because this is a gamble where we can lose and win, and we might experience losing more than winning. But we don't want to admit it, and instead, we continue to gamble, hoping that one day we can win a lot of money. And our initial gambling experience is different because we play different gambling games too. But one thing for sure is that over time we can become addicted to gambling if we cannot control the gambling game.

If unfortunately we humans always learn from the bad, learning is effective with bad experiences, it is always good that we match it once and for all with anything we have to learn in a casino game, there is no worse experience than us. We lose money because it takes us a long time to do it, that's as you say, at first we even want to cry, and then when we go to play we do it in another way, not so crazy, taking more care of the balance because it is known that when we lose everything there is nothing to do, just another deposit and start from scratch with all the work.

These things are what make a player mature quickly, they make him more intuitive and with more desire to do things better so that he doesn't lose a lot, in that sense we always do what we can, even with articles, with the experiences of others. players, with videos, whatever is informative about the game we must learn, this is what we have left, if we learn we will have more experience, we will know how to play and how we can control the money, that is the most important thing, when we have control I think that there money does not earn us much, and we avoid the risk of falling into addiction, we have the situation under control.

Each player has his style to play, in each thing he does it is known that many more things can be done safely and without risking our money, the bad thing is that if you have these experiences that are not so pleasant and the person does not learn anything, because that's where a path of no return from a safe addiction begins.

When I started I felt that I was going to get addicted, but then when you know that you have responsibilities and that you have many people in charge of us, you cannot take those risks because how are you going to respond to those people who depend on you? telling them " I spent everything", that cannot be done, it is not allowed, at least not for me, some people do not care , but I think that this Depends on the level of responsibility that each one of us has.

I believe all of us have started gambling at the initial stage with our friends because we do most of the things for the first time when we are with them as it makes it more fun when something is done with friends especially if that thing isn't to be done in front of family members or elders. Whether it's smoking for the first time, drinking alcohol, gambling, going out with a girl, or anything in general, our friends are the ultimate secret keepers for us forever.

I remember when we first started gambling on the streets because it was long ago and we didn't have online casinos back then, even if there were platforms, we didn't have any access to them, so we used to gamble on the streets and it used to be a lot of fun since you have all your friends with you.

Quite an interesting thread and I will tell you a little about my first experience when playing gambling.

Long before I got to know online gambling, I had gambled with friends, which at first was just for fun and gradually became addicted because there was fun in it. For the first time I played gambling, I played domino gaple and what was used as betting material was not money but cigarettes. Until finally they started to dare to make money bets, and did it not only with friends but began to move to something even higher, namely at casinos and online gambling. Also not only card gambling but starting to move on to other bets such as sports betting.
  Even now if I play chess with anyone in the game there must be bets, otherwise I am reluctant to play chess because I consider it less challenging if there is nothing at stake. Well….. except if I don't have money to bet, it's okay to just fill my free time and to hone my skills in playing chess.

and for online gambling itself, I am quite interested in playing in it and for now I tend to do online gambling more often

That's the universal gambling story of almost every single gambler where things are pretty exciting at the beginning because you are winning, and things are going very smoothly until you start thinking that what if you increase the bet, you can get double of what you are getting right now, and you can easily multiply your capital in way less time than how you are doing it now, and that is where things start to slip from your hands and your balance begins to decrease.

Those who also think that they can recover the losses that are occurring tend to lose the money even quicker because after every single loss, you are going to double the base bet and we all know that you will surely tend to get a loss streak that might become a bit long and you will be totally out of money in no time.

Not too sure about that, maybe some people can keep it under control, but in the same way that alcohol starts creeping up on you, gambling can be the same.

You can start with a few gambles here and there, and then next thing you notice you are betting almost every day, and losing a lot of money.

It starts slowly, and for some people it's really difficult to stop.

Seriously, gambling can be stopped, but for someone who wishes to stop gambling, someone who has been addicted is someone who, even if there is no money, still gambles even if they borrow money. However, if someone is gambling on a normal basis and it is not taken as a means of getting money, they can easily stop it, in my opinion. Even though I know gambling is something that, when you start it, you will get it in your mind and won't want to stop it if you're winning.

However, I think we should not always be making threads talking about gambling addiction because many people will see it that way, which it is not. You can be addicted to gambling, depending on how you take it. If you take gambling as a way of getting money, you will be addicted, no doubt about that, because you will gamble every time. But if you take gambling as something you will do to have fun, I don't think you are at risk of becoming addicted.
