Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 16. (Read 3069 times)

But we shouldn't idealize the gambling industry either. There's more to it than flashy attire and hefty stakes. It's often boring and expensive. Addiction to the thrill and adrenaline can result in serious consequences for one's wellbeing, both materially and psychologically

Your story about how gamblers should be treated more like players than customers is spot on. The end result is not as important as the journey, the planning, and the excitement that comes along with it. The journey itself is more important than the final goal. Keep throwing the dice, but know that this is all in good fun

Your friends that are using their properties to get money for gambling really need some help to get out of their addiction, with this route, they are going straight towards ruining their lives and coming on the road because gambling is not to make people rich, it's business for its owners and they are the only ones getting rich in all this process, so they need to stop before it's too late because this is real life and things can't be reversed once they are out of hand.

And you are right that no matter what one does with their friends, as long as they know they have enough self-control, they won't be picking up a habit out of it, I've done a lot of things with my friends just to have fun but I never got addicted to any of it, including gambling, so it's all fine as long as you can control your urges.

You are right. Indeed, that is what we have to do in playing gambling to enjoy every moment we use to gamble. If we only think about getting the win, we will get frustrated. When it's frustrating, we can use more money. After all, we won't be able to enjoy the time to play gambling because we are chasing profits. But it won't be worth it if you just play gambling all day without taking a break because that will drain our money and there's no guarantee we can win. And if we use all the properties we have, it will also not be able to help us win. So gamble casually and don't chase the win.

If the goal of newcomers is to make gambling just a means of having fun, they will enjoy it. But if the goal turns into chasing victory, they won't be able to enjoy it and it can even become an addiction. They must realize that playing gambling will not always be able to win unless they always have luck while playing gambling. But it's difficult because almost no player is always lucky and there are times when the gambler will lose, whether they lose a lot or a little. I believe in beginner's luck but when they gamble too much, it seems like their luck will run away and won't come back to them as often.

Yes the first one really make us feel sad and frustrated but that is the time we will start to learn more something new and we can improve ourselves in the next thing because we are already experienced those kind of thing , it will be terrible if we did the same mistake twice and we did not get any improvements from our part. We should learn from our mistakes but then if we make a mistake again that's fine as long as we keep on make it right.

I'm sure everyone has a bad experience when they get to know gambling in their life, fail and experience consecutive defeats like other beginners, behind that there is valuable experience that we can make a lesson to be able to understand the purpose of gambling itself, as I am also in At first I thought that I could win big today by playing gambling, but in the end I suffered a crushing defeat.

It was frustrating also not playing for a while but I'm back after seeing my friend gamble again and I'm wiser to play next game like never before, I always focus and enjoy the game instead of hitting a certain winning target on my previous mistake, playing for fun and I really know how to play wisely and the meaning of gambling for fun. it's more fun than just getting money from gambling.

If there was anything life was so boring and solitary in this 21Century then it would definitely be within the period of the covid-19 pandemic and that was when the number of gamblers increased as people seek for means and ways of catching fun while making money at same time and I happened to find myself among those that took to online gambling within that period and till now there's no turning back despite several losses and a few non-commensurable wins. In all I made sure to discipline myself not to be carried away with addiction and cutting my bet expense at a percentage per week my pocket can't feel even if I loss it all. That's how a good gambler should do.

some may not be for the thrill. more from gamblers who are just starting out because they see friends playing and getting wins. not for fun but for wanting to win. and that's what makes beginners become obsessed with continuing to play until they get a win.
those who can limit their gambling activities must have good emotional control. while those who continue to be curious will feel more defeated.
at first, I gambled more to lose. I stopped because it didn't work. either victory or pleasure. but after coming back, I feel how people really feel gambling for fun.

New comers want to take the beginning of gambling only as pleasure. But when they gamble for a long time, they become addicted. If they can go against the addiction or bring the gambling under their control then they can stay well in that position. I myself lost a lot of money in gambling and was addicted at one point but was able to regain complete control from that position. Gambling When I was new I used to have a tendency to win more. I also dreamed of earning a lot of money from gambling but when my mistake broke I was able to come back from it.

My first gambling game was started at my 19 years,I had get the influence from my friends.He is my childhood friend,So I had started my first gambling in offline.But my most of friends had lost his first game in gambling.But I had win the first game in dice with my luck.This was the reason of my long journey in the gambling.I had some game after my first game,but I was not addicted to the gambling.My friends also  get into the gambling addiction and all other bad habits like smoking and drinking.


We should look the gambling as the entertainment as compared to profit giving game.Most of my friends take it as the income generating game,they use to play the game full day.What ever happens,either a profit or a loss.They think of the profit at the end.They use all the properties to get money to play gambling which is not recommended one by the experienced gamblers.

It has happened to several other people and you are very lucky to be able to see and treat gambling as entertainment. That's what we have to do if we don't want to get too involved in gambling and it can cause all kinds of problems that we may be unable to handle. Those who play gambling because friends invite them to see gambling as entertainment and never think about winning a gambling game because it will never be easy. And we can refuse friends who invite us to gamble longer because we have other activities and our friends can understand.

I find some parallels in my life with your situation. I started gambling with advice from a close friend of mine. I see gambling as a bad addiction. When I first started gambling, I was not very conscious about gambling, which I often used to blame myself for.  I used to lose in gambling. But now I have a good attitude in gambling due to which I win gambling almost most of the time. In gambling almost people get addicted to gambling by taking advice from their close friend. I always see gambling as entertainment.

So far, according to my experience, the factors that make a person addicted are the environment and the personality of each person, for example, the person is easily provoked, so it is certain that he will easily become addicted. On the other hand, many of them enter the gambling zone through their environment. I think someone will realize that if they take it too far they will be wasting a lot of money, even knowing the risks one can quit or stop gambling. But in the end the problem is that curiosity is too high, so they always do it again based on their curiosity. A person who has entered the addiction zone will always feel that this time it seems that he will be able to get a big win in the hope of making up for his previous defeat. This cycle will continue and are not bound by time, if they still have money or valuables then they will continue to chase victory even though in the end defeat always dominates them.

So basically apart from social media one can also get information from the surrounding environment, as you mentioned that your friend told you about gambling, and indeed environmental factors really influence a person so that you are also interested in trying it and then have the opportunity to be in the addiction zone. Meanwhile, on the other hand, I hope you don't tell your other friends who are completely ignorant and have never experienced gambling. Because you may have felt negative things from some of the effects of gambling, to be honest I myself don't want to tell other people or teach them to gamble because I have experienced some bitter things in gambling and I don't want to lead other people to the same mistake as me.

It's true that we do get encouraged by our friends for doing a lot of things, some of them are good and some are bad. Some of us manage to dodge the bad ones while others can't and they get themselves and their family in trouble just because of a habit they got from their friends and the gatherings they get into. I used to have friends with bad habits too, they even used to ask me to do bad things like drinking alcohol and smoking, but I used to know my limits.

It all boils down to our personal opinions towards things when we are clear about the things that we want to do and things that we never want to do in our lives, we don't get to do bad things even if all our friends are involved in things that are harmful to them, that's why it's important to have a clear mind all the time.

That is the reality of gambling addiction: after someone begins gambling and partakes in it for a while, it will be simple for them to become addicted because it has become ingrained in their habits, and maintaining their addiction will be extremely difficult even though they may be aware of the high costs involved. Instead, their goal is to win big one day and make up for all of their losses, unaware that this is the spirit of gambling addiction. Even if a person doesn't have any money to gamble, once they become addicted, they will undoubtedly hunt for ways to acquire it.

My first experience in gambling was a day that my friend gave me some of the money he won from gambling. At first, he didn't tell me where he got the money from, but just said, Guy, keep this little amount with you. I was surprised and asked him where he got the money from, and he quickly started narrating the story for me of how he gambled and won a sporting bet. and easily I was so interested in being involved in gambling, so I quickly concluded that I would gamble with the little amount he gave me. So he introduced me to many betting sites and asked me to pick my choice, but I said no for that period, but let's join money together and bet from the site he won from, as it said no problem, and we bet on some matches at that particular time, but honestly, we were not lucky, we lost, and that is how I continue to try my luck, hoping that one day I will win.
 

Respect for your friend because he accompanied you before you're start to gamble.

Gambling addict mostly because of irresponsible brand new gambler where they don't understand how gambling can entertain them and just looking to make money. When someone is already become an addict, it's really hard to stop it because gambling ads is everywhere and they will notice it.

It is great that you can control yourself from gambling. gambling is a fun place and also a danger zone. it is depend who use gambling for which purpose. if you can control yourself Everytime like now then you will get only fun from gambling without losing anything big. but if you got addicted in gambling then you will give you a bad experience coz here you can loss your big capital anytime if your luck work Against your bet. so always ignore your friend activity and gamble by your own

I was not supposed to be involved in gambling. I didn't know much about gambling before. But the gambling of a close friend of mine affected me quite a bit. He did not advise me to get directly involved in gambling but he accompanied me when he gambled. I was sometimes appalled by his gambling. Then one day I asked him about how to withdraw money in gambling and one time I started gambling like him. But I still consider myself a controlled gambler. My friend lost a lot in gambling but never gave up gambling. My friend and me sometimes take part in gambling at times. I know I won't get much from here but it makes me happy.

We can only try to enjoy our gambling time and get pleasure from gambling to avoid the desire to get more wins. The desire to get more wins is fine, but we also have to realize that it's not easy to get those wins, so we don't have to try so hard. Realizing that is what can prevent us from trying to chase victory and prefer just to enjoy gambling as entertainment. The first experience will be fun because we just want to know what gambling is, but if we keep playing gambling afterward, it can turn us into someone addicted. And when we can't stop ourselves, we will become a gambling addict who only thinks about his gambling.

Our chances before gambling may be 50/50, but when we start gambling, the chances will decrease, especially if we only experience defeat. But it's a wise decision if you can be satisfied with passing it without any desire to continue playing gambling without stopping and prefer to stop. And indeed, we must try to take care of ourselves and stay on the path we have planned so that everything can still be controlled properly. And gambling can cause us to become more addicted to gambling, so we must be careful when gambling.

My first experience is often the most endlessly challenging. However, I'm satisfied that I was able to get through this time by taking prudent decisions. Our chances of winning are generally pretty excellent; in reality, the possibilities of losing and making money are exactly 50/50. We have an effective technique that will return big fortune for us; our only job is to keep to the plan and overcome the obstacles that would prevent our goals from being met. Gambling is never what causes most of us to make big gains; rather, it is referred to as beginner's luck; with these characteristics, we will be able to benefit a lot from the method with less work.
