Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 18. (Read 3286 times)

Mine was like a trap because I actually got interested in gambling through my friend and the first experience I had what was triggered my gambling today because the first actual game I played I won the bet which made me very interesting to play more and I thank God I had to hold ma self back if not I would have become a gambling addict by now.

We have the same kind of story, I started to gamble in my early childhood because my environment are having this kind of small gambling which is not legal and yet our local government are not stopping them even a small gambling like what we called ending, I used to play that because it only needs a small amount of bet only and it will not require me to bet a huge amount of money.

As a teenager, I was able to make my first experiences with sports betting on football matches. Just played with very small amounts and that's how it started. It wasn't particularly difficult to play at that age back then either, as the age controls weren't as strict as they are today.

I won't lie but my first gambling experience was when I'm still in grade school and my curiosity grew even bigger as months and days goes by because I came from a neighborhood that are gambling illegally for almost a daily basis and as a kid, it's hard to not to do the same thing as I was able watch them play and gamble all day long as long as I want to watch them. But when I grew bigger, my desire towards gambling fortunately didn't keep up with me because my priorities and wants changed as I age.

contender.

I think the first time I gambled online was when online poker became huge with party poker.  For the most part it was easy Pickens, but through the times playing I felt more and more like it was gamed.  People uncharacteristic folding or calling when they have no right to or it wasn't in their style of play.  Most off I thought players were colluding.  Then came the scandals so I ended up being right.  Think those online poker sites are getting better but back then it was the real wild west of gambling lol.

Possible and much more reasonable? However, in gambling, even though the top priority is winning from bets made, there is always no guarantee that this can happen repeatedly. Gambling is complicated when it comes to strategies and patterns because it relies more on luck in achieving victory. If people like challenges and want to target victory, it depends on how ready the capital they have in gambling. All of us know how gambling can cause someone to lose much bigger money because there are no controls and strategies that can be implemented.

Being realistic is much better and if one likes to play gambling then it is better to set a special budget that does not interfere with finances to be used elsewhere where it is more needed. At least when they experience defeat it won't affect the important budget as another needz, so that gambling will not interfere with concentration on the needs of his fulfillment family.

For me, my first gambling experience is indifferent, by indifferent, i mean that there is nothing really special about it or noteworthy, before i started gambling, I've lived and related with gamblers, some of them were even my friends but i never really got really close to them cus i at that time hated gambling as i had this mindset that it was only irresponsible people that gambles.

Long story short, i got  a job in a company and made a new friend, he was a great guy, we were very much alike except for the fact he gambles and i don't, one day, he won a very big amount of money, that forced me to reconsider my stance on gambling, i had to tell him to show me how gambling is done, that was the beginning of my journey as a gambler, i started out small, losing and some times winning very small amount, until i discovered bitcoin, and from doing bitcoin, i discovered online gambling, the first casino, which was and still is a bitcoin faucet i signed up on was freebitco.in, this was the first platform i performed an online gambling by playing their Hi Lo game.

I always hesitate in online gambling because i fear using credit cards on online gambling websites. Then when I came to know about Bitcoin and crypto and later when I know that crypto is being used as the payment method in online gambling, I really felt comfortable playing gambling using BitcoinBTC and other altcoins.

In the start, I also used to claim lots of free satoshi from the faucets sites and use them to gamble.  I still remember the freebitco site which gives free satoshi through faucets and this is the only site that is still running and giving away some satoshi every hour.

Maybe he mean that his main priority is to win and nothing is wrong with that since there are competitive people loves to challenge theirselves and target to get wins after the end of their game time. But although there's no always winnings scenario exist so most of the time we get slap by reality that gambling is game of chance and not all the time we win since losing streak may occur. For this we should never expect more unrealistic because we might go on bad condition if we go on unrealistic approach while gambling.

The first time I gambled was playing dice when I was looking for faucets (2016), I never gambled before, but when I got faucets, I collected them and I played dices, I still remember, when I got faucets around 0.000004**/claim, there was no big win from the dices I did, my faucets always ran out. LOL. But I realized, it's just for fun, because I'm too lazy to collect the faucet till meet minimum requirements to be drawn into the exchange. the real fun at the time.

I didn't have any friends who were gamblers, and I started gambling long ago when there was a website which was paid-to-click website that used to give money for watching ads, it also had some games where you could play to win more money with what you've earned so far, and there used to be a coin flip game in that website which I used for multiplying my money and points, it used to be fun, for the first time when I played, I managed to win.

But, I really liked the game so I started playing every day, and after the first two times winning, I started losing badly, I started using the martingale strategy as well, and that is when I learned about that too, so I sometimes managed to win back the losses but most of the times it would make my balance go to zero.

To be honest, i forgot how the first gambling experience was for me. because, I know gambling from a young age. I mean, traditional gambling. Traditional gambling also includes many types of games, and there are various types of traditional gambling that I play. So, I don't really remember it.

Nonetheless, I remember my first gamble at an online casino. not in sports betting which I usually enjoy, not in live casino games either. but on the type of slot game. I remember well, at that time I was curious to try playing slot machines for the first time at an online casino. the game I play is Play Diamond Strike "Pragmatic". To be honest, I immediately fell in love with this game. like easy, but in fact it is difficult to get high wins. after several times I tried it, regardless of winning or losing. in the end, for the first time I got Mega Win. I remember very well, how the pleasure comes when we achieve something that is difficult to win. Gradually, there are many types of new games popping up that in the end I no longer play the game.

By the way, slot games are the easiest type of gambling to play without even using technique or skill. it's just, if we don't have self-control and responsibility. usually, a gambler finds it difficult to stop if he is addicted. So, it's very important to have self-control and play moderately. just for fun.

I do not understand how you talk about the mindset in gambling and although victory is a priority, but there is always no certainty when you gamble, the gambling system is very complicated and there is almost no formula that we can out. I think what you mean is not excessive gambling beyond the ability to be responsible and especially when involvement in gambling is still quite a beginner.

There is always a loss in gambling and no one has ever been able to maintain a consecutive victory for a long time. Gambling is synonymous with bets that are uncertain and difficult for people to be involved in continuous victory. Some people set aside a special budget to bet when they have more sources of income that do not affect daily needs and they make a budget that is adjusted every month to be involved in gambling, it is a better idea than imposing irresponsible gambling.

It's okay friends, it will be your valuable experience and of course I'm sure that in that way you will be more careful in choosing a gambling platform that is trusted and has a good reputation, always do research before playing because not all gambling platforms are good especially those that are still relatively new, I usually just make a small deposit for a new casino just to test the game.

But you make a deposit of $ 100 for a site that you haven't investigated how their game system is, fortunately you don't lose more there, but always take it positively and always be a lesson from any mistakes we have ever taken because of choosing the wrong gambling platform. I also like you have the same experience for that I am always happy to share experiences so that other people do not make the mistakes we have ever done. always researching before gambling is important. 

My earlier experiences with gambling were great. It was always fun gambling with friends whether over card games, sporting events, or direct betting against each other with trick shots or competitive gaming. It wasn’t until I got old enough to start gambling in Indian casinos where I started having questionable experiences that led me to distrust physical casinos.

My first gamble was on a horse track. Not ideally in the casino but it's the same thing, right? For me, it's that first win that makes it addictive. That chasing the win despite losing many times. But luckily I stopped gambling then so I also disciplined myself not to lose more money. Fast forward, I was only introduced to online casinos by this bitcoin talk. Banners and Avatars when you clicked it, most of the time it will lead you to their website. So I get to participate in those for the sake of satisfying my curiosity.


I guess we all have this kind of experience. FUnny that we got the win the first time then lose all those winnings all the way haha.

Winning and losing all depends on our mindsets. When it comes to gambling, winning has always been the forefront priority; all we have to do is accumulate everything within our financial capabilities and wager excessively. We've all had difficult experiences in the gambling system, especially when we were newbies. There are several times where I would record losses; perhaps losses are always present. We work harder every day to get greater outcomes; however, not all of us are successful; most fall off the wagon and liquidate accounts, while others are consistent in their gambling activities.

I can't make up a date exactly but I can remember I started gambling sometime 2015 and each time I remembered the experience of my first losses in gambling I raise an eyebrow. I had several consecutive losses being a novice at it cause I wasn't introduced to it by anyone so there was no guidance for it was basically the lack of money within those period that dragged me into gambling with the hope I was going to be quickly luckily enough to win a good amount immediately to meet up some needs.
But guess what I ended up losing even the little spares I had on me. Over the years I have being able to make some winnings as much as losses but my most concern is the fact that I am very well in control of my gambling habit till date which is something every gambler should ignore or neglect.

If we can remind them, it would be great if they would take it. But if not, we are forced to let them even though it might be hard because we don't want to lose someone as our friend. But if he's just a casual friend and not a best friend, that's okay because we know a lot of friends, and some of them are not our best friends. We do have a responsibility to remind them as friends, but if they don't care about our warnings or suggestions, we can't force them either. They may be better off acting alone without us.

But the beginner's luck will always be there, whoever the beginner is. And if the beginner is a friend we know, we must remind him not to go too far in playing gambling which can make him addicted.

 I wasn't really a fan of gambling not until I was introduced to it through the referral link of a friend who said I'll get a reward upon registration, it convinced me to give it a trial because I couldn't consider loosing my own money to something I wasn't sure of winning since I'm not good at predictions. I registered and was given the bonus to wager on a game before claiming then I contacted my friend on what to do and she said I should use it to play any game I was sure of the outcome, it was a bit tough because I didn't know how sports betting works i had to make research to know about the odds and how to predict, and after that I noticed the Premier league team I am supporting wasn't having a good season by then so I decided to use the reward given to bet against them and I won, I felt the guilt of betting against my team but was also happy I won my first gambling prediction but the 3rd attempt wasn't good, I lost because my team drew against Tottenham that made me to gradually lose interest in it not only that, when I won my 1st two trials I was tempted to deposit some money to gamble more but losing made me realise that in gambling chances of losing all your profits are high so I decide to quit entirely.
