Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 2. (Read 3286 times)
not too bad. Initially I just did a review on a new gambling site and it would immediately get paid. somehow I accidentally played a game that I didn't understand how the balance in my wallet moved. Luckily it was a big win for me. I am grateful because I borrowed my friend's money for a deposit and I didn't experience any loss at all and even still made a profit.
Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?i myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling
Many people have heard about gambling from their local communities or for a long time. There are traditional forms of gambling that are similar to the modern types we see today. Personally, I became more familiar with online gambling after joining Bitcointalk, and I found some online casinos interesting. I don't gamble much, so I haven't spent a lot on it. The main idea behind gambling is for fun, but some people make the mistake of seeing it as a way to earn a living. While it's possible to win money through gambling, it's not a reliable source of income, and it's important to gamble responsibly and not depend on it for your livelihood.

I dont believe on beginners luck considering that gambling could really be only having that 2 possible outcome which is losing and winning and on the time that you are just starting gambling then normally you would really be choosing in between two possible options on which you would really be able to win or having those sidebets which neither those things could reach out or not. It does really depend on the situation on which neither you would really be making yourself that impulsive after that or you would really be still on your control on the time that you would be able to have your first win.
In my case then im not really that much that too positive towards gambling but rather it is really just solely just for fun. There are really just those people who are really setting out their standards
even if its already unrealistic and this is where people would start to admit out that they have done something wrong.
It's okay if you don't believe in beginner's luck but it really happens to some beginner gamblers who are curious about gambling. But only a few can get that luck and win a lot of money from their initial gambling. Others will only experience defeat which can make them curious, especially if their friends can win. They will return to gambling again the next day or a few days later but the results are not that good. And if they can't control their gambling, problem after problem will come one by one and make them eventually become addicted.In my case then im not really that much that too positive towards gambling but rather it is really just solely just for fun.

It's good if you can think of gambling as entertainment and that's what we have to do so that we don't experience serious problems. And not many can do what you do because others will try to win from other gambling games. But then again, only a few can win while others will lose.

In gambling, you really rely on luck, but if someone is gambling for the first time and they win, I think this is very rare and even if there is, of course they have to be able to control themselves in playing the game so as not to make the game you are playing end quickly. and you can't enjoy it. Gambling is just for fun, only some people can do it because they can know when they are doing it and when they should stop and of course they will not spend their money more than they have set for gambling.

My first experience with gambling wasn't that bad to be honest. I remember winning a huge amount of money during my initial bets and my friends jokingly called it 'the beginner's luck.' It was unexpected but I managed to win around $2k by placing bets on multiple football games over the weekend including some from the UEFA Champions League.
I was so happy with my win and that marked the beginning of my gambling journey. However, I did experience quite a few losses afterward. Eventually, I decided to step back and not think about it too much and nowadays, I play for fun and don't invest a a lot of f money into it.
Yes, beginner's luck does exist, although not all beginners can get it. Only the truly deserving will be able to get that “beginner's luck,” while the rest will get trapped deeper into gambling without getting out of it. Maybe other beginners can also get that beginner's luck and usually they tell how that lucky moment came.I was so happy with my win and that marked the beginning of my gambling journey. However, I did experience quite a few losses afterward. Eventually, I decided to step back and not think about it too much and nowadays, I play for fun and don't invest a a lot of f money into it.
After getting that beginner's luck, usually, if someone continues to gamble again the next day or a few days later, they won't be able to repeat it and will lose a lot of money. That was if they didn't think yesterday's win was just beginner's luck that could never be repeated.

Yeah, that is usually how it goes, either you lose a lot in the beginning and always remember that and never continue or you just get lucky and start gambling more and more until you lose everything that you have won before...
It's just how it works for most people

To be honest I can't remember if I went to a physical casino or if I had placed a bet online. I know the first bet I ever made on sports (professionally that is, not like a bet with a friend or family member) was on Bovada, which I stupidly still use today (calvin ayres and Craig Wright have a connection somehow I believe). But I remember using a credit card to fund the $100 bet on a super bowl game. I lost lol.
Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble
Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?
I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling
Though others may claim to have several reasons why they got into gambling, but I'm sure that 90% of gambler's today got into gambling simply because of the need/desire to make quick money, which my own case is not an exception to it, because I can remember many years ago after college when I never had any money, I saw some friends who were giving testimony how they staked #100 naira (i.e equivalent to $0.1) and ended up winning #50,000 (i.e approx. $50), and immediately that got my attention, since I needed money to settle some personal bills, which since then, I must confess it's been both happy & sad experience, as I have lost some games and also won some.

I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling
So on the nutshell, I got into gambling because of the need for money back then after college when I had no job.
Gamblers need to accept the reality, gambling is supposed to be a hobby and not our main occupation, while the idea of earning a lot of money and also have fun in the process is a very attractive proposition, we also need to consider how likely is it for us to obtain those results? And it should be obvious this is not very likely, as the games offered by the casinos are naturally disadvantageous to us, and while on the short term we could earn some money, when it comes to the long term we will lose it.
Definitely making gambling a main occupation is putting yourself at a disadvantage already as you will not have the fun that comes with it which makes you more prone to reckless gambling. But making a means of catching fun, maybe not necessarily a hobby, will make you invest less emotions and make you have a healthy gambling habit.I always talk about emotions when ever am talking about gambling because if you can keep your emotions in check while gambling then you may likely be a better and healthy gambler, because you will most likely not pursue your losses as the outcome of the game is something you have programmed your mind to accept whatever outcome, but with too much emotions attached to will most likely chase losses and gamble unhealthy.
Usually the Casino needs to make profit and so they make profits when we loose to them so they would naturally tilt the games in your disadvantage but it's left with you to literally not allow yourself get caught up so much with this disadvantage by setting your mind to accept possible outcomes and know when not to continue again, little winnings should get you too excited and losses aswell shouldn't get you too emotional.

A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.This saying is the only reason I am back at gambling and playing slot machines otherwise I would have quit a long long time ago.In the beginnings everyone of us starts playing for fun but the fun then becomes a desire to play almost every day and this is how addiction starts to grow.As I said that saying is my only motivation to try again but of course when I see that I am trying and trying and not winning anything it is plain stupid to continue to play as we get nothing in return.
The slots used to be different before some time they usually tease you with some nice wins when you were playing with the lowest bet yet now they don't care and they eat everything up from our balance,inflation must have gotten the slots too

.Well, in theory, but you also need to have enough money to continue playing until you win that last time.
Also, there are some games that have a maximum bet, which might not allow you to win that last time.
with that kind of engagements even you say you are just using a small amount of money, there's always a chance that you will not be satisfied and you will try to add more to continue playing.
Of course I ended up spending a lot of money on gambling. However, I immediately realized my mistake and immediately corrected it before something worse happened.
Now I can manage my finances and manage my gambling time. The best way to gamble is to think of it as entertainment, when we can think like that then we won't be stressed even if we lose.
Just last week while I was in the hospital, I saw a fellow guy like myself playing a slot game on one of this online casinos I don't know the name, I was moved to ask him if he has ever won significant amount of money while playing such games, he said he sure have won a big amount of money a couple of times, but hasnt yet covered all the money he has lost to gambling, I then told him that gambling was supposed to be for entertainment, and not a money making venture, he responded saying that, until he wins an amount that will cover for all the money he has lost gambling, gambling will never be an entertainment for him but a money making venture.
I was actually amused and surprised at the same time, we later on discussed extensively about gambling, but for him, gambling remained a money making venture, so how do we ever convince such type of people to see gambling as an entertainment?.
Because by gambling we can get big wins, so many people think gambling is a way to get money. Statements like that are true, but the risk of losing in gambling is greater. The reason is that gambling addicts, like the story you told, hope for big wins that can cover all previous losses. However, until now I have never heard of anyone who can return money that has been spent on gambling. The best way is to forget about the money and stop gambling, otherwise just leave it until he goes bankrupt and has nothing to gamble with.
I don't think we can prohibit them from gambling either because it is their right and choice. We can only tell them about the risks of gambling addiction, if they still don't want to listen then it's better to just leave.
Logically right, to have extra money you need to look for other options, doubling your money into gambling that's something that really hard to achieved, sometimes you may win and most of the time you are at risk, what's important is you have that will to move forward, when you lose you need to assess yourself and see if you are still capable of controlling yourself, losing that control will always be the risk behind this activity.
Always have that discipline to make sure not to fall into any potential risk with your financial and mental aspects.

Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble
That's right, at first I was also trapped in gambling games because it was difficult to control myself and of course it was difficult to get out, if I still had money I would keep gambling until it ran out. But this was before, now I can control myself when I gamble and can control my money, when should I play, when should I stop. This is what we must have before playing gambling, namely being able to control ourselves and not be greedy. Without it you will be stuck in it.
Now I can manage my finances and manage my gambling time. The best way to gamble is to think of it as entertainment, when we can think like that then we won't be stressed even if we lose.
That's the best thing for gamblers to do, namely setting a gambling budget and managing time for gambling. If we can manage it correctly, it's impossible to get caught in a gambling addiction because it's definitely easier to control ourselves so we don't gamble too deeply. Limiting the budget can also be an alarm. so we can stop gambling after reaching the threshold.So it is true that mindset is very important for gamblers, however, ultimately with the thought of having fun, you will definitely not experience feelings of irritation or emotion when you lose when gambling, because if we can control our emotions we can definitely protect ourselves from becoming addicted to gambling. After all, isn't every casino game just for entertainment?

I don't know exactly when I first played gambling, but I remember the first time I won at gambling, at that time I played parlay by selecting 5 English league teams, and all my guesses were correct, at that time my first win was $450. Yes, of course I found out about the incident from a friend. with that kind of engagements even you say you are just using a small amount of money, there's always a chance that you will not be satisfied and you will try to add more to continue playing.
