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.

I didn't see an example of my friends' big win, I was walking with a friend and he went to play in a casino, I just stayed with him and watched him lose money. ) Then I didn’t really like it all, he lost somewhere around 50 dollars and that was it. A little later, I saw a bookmaker's sign and went to play myself, it was more interesting to me than a casino. I also managed to win at first, but then losses followed.

Thank you for sharing your gambling experience. It's unfortunate to hear about the initial loss you encountered due to a system error on a now-defunct platform. Indeed, selecting a reputable and trustworthy gambling platform is crucial for a positive experience.

As the leonair’s message rightly points out, starting out in the gambling world can be challenging, especially when one lacks familiarity with the platforms and the intricacies of the process. Mistakes are a natural part of the learning curve, and it's through these experiences that we gain valuable insights to make better decisions in the future.

Learning from past errors and taking a more cautious approach when choosing a new gambling platform is essential. Look for reputable websites with good user reviews and ensure they have appropriate licenses and security measures in place to protect your funds and personal information.

Moreover, managing emotions and maintaining self-control during gambling is fundamental. It's easy to get carried away by the excitement and potential rewards, but responsible gambling entails setting limits on both time and money spent. Always gamble with funds you can afford to lose and avoid chasing losses.

Remember, gambling should be seen as entertainment, not a way to make a living. Responsible gambling ensures that you can enjoy the experience without compromising your financial well-being. I wish you continued success and a positive experience on the platform you've found, and may it bring you enjoyable moments without undue risks.

But if we leave them alone, we fear that this will make them worse, and it is our duty as good friends to remind them of this.
Indeed, when some of his traits seem selfish for prioritising his ambitions in gambling it is bad but on the other hand we also as friends have the responsibility to realise at least remind him because he crossed the boundaries that have been set.

Beginner's luck is always in good condition from this we also if we have friends who are in the scope of gambling for the first time then this must also continue to be reminded so that they do not put themselves in something difficult that is addictive.

How come when they are already limiting their selves? If they still can't follow it, they will realize that there is something wrong with them and maybe they will seek for a professional help this time. When we gamble we do use a money but it is also possible to play using fake money although there is no thrill on it anymore.

The right way to gamble is like that or to not care whatever the results you will get. This makes you move on easily. You already stopped gambling before so I believe you can do it again. You should believe on your self too. Meanwhile, just continue following the tips that you saw or hear along with your own ways. Good luck!

Choosing a good and reliable platform to gamble at first is very difficult.  Because at that time no one is well familiar with gambling and also doesn't know well about the platforms. and in this case many face loss as you have. It doesn't matter because people learn by making mistakes. who does not make mistakes cannot learn anything good. but now you should choose a trusted gambling site and gamble there safely. but in this case, one thing to note is that you should never panic and keep yourself under control from gambling

Perhaps, that person will be left by his friends because they can't be nice to them. They are not a good friend if they have money to gamble but can't share what they have when we need it. We don't need friends like that. We've seen this happen to us so often that we prefer not to see it too often.

And that beginner's luck is waiting for the novice gambler to start their first gamble and give away a win. That will make novice gamblers want to return another day because they still want another win. Since then, they have started to think about getting more wins, and of course, they will use more money to gamble.

Many people will often be carried away by their desire to win more often than lose. They need to learn to control themselves while gambling can help them not spend a lot of money because that's what many people always recommend. But unfortunately, that only applies to a minority of people, while others will lose control of themselves and lose a lot of money.

And in your case, curiosity beats the boredom of playing gambling and makes you return to gambling again because you have found a new sensation in playing gambling. This is normal because it can make someone return to gambling even though he really wants to stop gambling. You have to control yourself because getting a new sensation usually keeps someone there longer. And if that happens, we already know what risks we will get, so be careful.

Mine was a total disaster lost $50 on the first day while playing dice. You might be one of those lucky won who won the first day. After my intial loss it took me sometime to realize that I suck in luck base gambling. I then shifted to sports betting, it was not that easy at first but gradually it is working fine for me as of now. I still stay away from gambling that is completely luck based.

My first experience when playing gambling was arguably not good enough, because at that first time I lost 100 USD, not because of losing but because of a system error from one of the online gambling platforms which now seems to have gone bankrupt. However, this experience taught me that choosing a credible gambling platform is a must. And now I've found a good online gambling platform and I can say that my experience was quite satisfying using their services.

Oh wow, so you won on your first try!

You could have been the mythical gambler that wins against the casino by never gambling again.

My guess is that you continued gambling and lost all the winnings 

Mine was actually cool and I won on virtuals on my first attempt to play... let's draw the clock to the times I was enclosed in a brick house....I actually ran in for a gambler though, and It came right through.
Thereafter, I began to try some brilliant combos on my own funds when I really had free space,.. I've not really had a bad one but though, buh I've been in situations where peeps be begging for cash to pay Thier way home after squandering all they had on them...that alone thought me alot. I also paid severally for damages when a customer was found not capable of paying for his debts.

Most of us were introduced to gambling site by friends. I joined gambling because of the huge amount my friend won in the process of gambling. And my first gambling was nice because there was a first time lucky winner in the game and I won about $120 so I was excited. But after the first win I stopped for the day and went home with the cash which I withdrew in the casino hall.  After my first day of gambling and o won the amount, I went back to the casino hall for the mindset to win again but luck run out from me and I loss all the cash I that brought to the hall. The experience was nice and bad because I won at the first day and loss for the second days.

Sport betting is my favorite till this very moment. Gambling is the major reason why I started watching football matches during my early year in high school. I picked a lost ticket on the ground and was wondering how gamblers understand the options. I saw something like XorGG, 1DNB so I was triggered to enquire from a friend who's also a gambler and unfortunately that was how my gamble life began. My first ticket was slightly cut by one game despite picking like 20 games in a single ticket. Such a bad first experience.

That first ticket gave me false impression about gambling because it looked so easy to me then but after I played for straight one week without a single, I begin to realize that gambling is not calling and promise myself to give up after the last one but sadly it won and I was not be able stop. It is a long story with terrible experience but it is under control now.

Everyone must have almost the same beginning as being introduced by a friend or finding it on the internet accidentally and starting to feel curious. So it doesn't matter what it's like at first, but the impact is still the same, that is, it's hard to get out of the shackles of the gambling circle. Like it or not, it is a fact that any gambler can never get out unless he has lost everything. However, in the process many of us learn to try to control situations such as reducing bets slowly, limiting the budget for gambling, or setting the time of the week.
These activities are automatically imprinted in the brain making it a condition that is mandatory to do, if not sometimes mentally stressed, the mind is not calm, looking for information on new gambling sites until it is contaminated with addiction. Isn't that a fact?

Perhaps it's not only the feeling of winning big, but also the lack of money handling skills that makes people raise bets and take risks, eventually becoming addicted. Discipline and strategy are needed in everything related to money. And gambling is more about easy money and easy loss of money. Hence the feeling of big winnings and addiction.

My first experience with gambling was relatively when I was small and I played lotteries with my family, later on I and my brother spent a little bit of time playing a popular game here in my country which is like a roulette with this animals, instead of numbers. That was a handful of years ago, we did not lose much money, fortunately.

Going far forwards to these years I first started with freebitcoin and also a webpage which I think it was called coinpot, or something like it, after all those experiences I have ended up rolling dices on Stake. I will likely not move onto other place in a long time.   

Same with me. Starting from inviting friends to bet on sportsbooks and roulette.
The message conveyed to me is watching while betting on the favorite team and getting money is more exciting.

Counting how much money has been spent does not apply to active gamblers who are not included in the addict category. For those who think gambling is just entertainment, it also doesn't apply.
Calculating how much money is spent playing gambling will be felt when the player is in a losing streak or when the player is in a position where there is no more money.

For gambling players who are rich, they will set aside a certain percentage of money to gamble. Again, no calculations apply to them.

Casinos will not be booming if right from the start they don't have that advantage called house edge, it will be a risky business for them if they don't have that advantage because the probabilities of success between the casino and gambler are the same, which leaves them in the hanging in the corner because they will also hope that luck will be on their side to continue the flow of profits instead of losses and keep the business intact. And as a business owner, you surely want to be certain about the possibilities before you start to pour your resources and since casino do have this advantage, it's not surprising why casinos are almost everywhere now.
