Gambling using limits can save us from problems that can arise after we finish playing gambling. And with those limitations, you can control yourself from emotions, which can also increase drastically so that you won't lose too much money. Our first experience playing gambling is varied and different, especially when the situations we experience are also different, so after getting that first experience, we must learn what we need to have so we don't become addicted. But most people will return to gambling after their first experience because they get a different sensation that they never got before. And only limits and self-control can help him not get too deep into gambling.
Yes, but still in the end they will be carried away by the situation itself, meaning that unconsciously they will be carried away by their own desires without thinking that they are using money to bet on this game. When they are in a game, they probably won't really care about their fate if they lose in the end. It is indeed very difficult to be able to control yourself in gambling because the hope of victory seems to be right in front of your eyes. Someone's level of happiness about a win is very different and I think the sensation is the main factor that really influences them, as you said that everyone has different sensations in every game. To be honest, before I had almost stopped gambling because I was bored with some games, but when my friend introduced me to a game that I just found out about there, I started to get back into it because the game was really fun and had an extraordinary sensation. It seems that one day I will be able to stop gambling when I am really bored in several games.

Beginners are always driven by their emotions and that’s why they tend to gamble more though most of them can easily understand the risk of gambling while some are not. My first experience is just like the many here, I bet all of my starting capital without even thinking when to stop, since my only goal is to have fun. Gambling is beyond making money, you have to be more responsible or else addiction will take over your mind and you might lose more.
I've also even talked to their own friends, they will say negative things, like when they want to buy snacks or whatever they will say they don't have money, but a few moments later they will play gambling. People like this will usually get a lot of advice from other friends, or even when advice is no longer heard they will stay away from people like that.
Yes, when a gambler no longer has boundaries, they will even harm others around them. They work, they have an income, but for their daily life they have to borrow here and there because their salary is spent on gambling.
However, we ourselves can control ourselves, we cannot depend only on others, because other people may have their own busy lives. I know it's hard, but hard doesn't mean impossible, right?
It was a few years back when I started to gamble with crypto. I think it was Primedice which I played first. Started with some free rolls here and there until such time that I wanted to do a deposit and played with that amount ($5). Took me an hour or so to exhaust that $5 because I was playing with extremely small bet sizes. It was a fun experience and made me realize that I can kill time with gambling. Fast forward to now, I'm doing sports betting mainly.
I recognized that I wouldn't get any profits in casino games since it's extremely reliant on luck and probability, whereas in sports betting I can analyze which teams will play, how strong they are, and if the odds are skewed towards the team that I'm betting on.
I always spend $ 10 for a few hours even now I still play dice there, it's true what you say that sports betting guarantees more wins for example by choosing a favorite club or team compared to other dice or casino games that are difficult to predict, which is what we know that the house will always win and it's hard for us to get that win.I recognized that I wouldn't get any profits in casino games since it's extremely reliant on luck and probability, whereas in sports betting I can analyze which teams will play, how strong they are, and if the odds are skewed towards the team that I'm betting on.
To be honest, I prefer to use casino games for fun where we can play with small bets for hours on end to entertain ourselves but sometimes I also play dice to wait for a football match to start where I bet on sports betting on the match, so I don't feel bored. I wait for the game to start playing dice, if I'm lucky I'll withdraw the money but if I lose I'll spend the money in any casino game.

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
Well, I can say that gambling is addictive for me at first and we can see a lot of people gambling, enjoying themselves. But as I've suffered losses, that was the time I realized that I should have not paid attention to this. If I gamble, I already set limitations because the temptation is very close to us. Because the possibility of losing our emotions and the tendency of spending what we have is very possible that is why I encourage myself to get stick to it and never chase winning as this will lead to spending more and the possibility of losing more as well. 
~snip~
I tend to think that someone gets addicted to gambling because they see about the possibility of big wins. It will increase their self-confidence constantly so that they really don't care about the risk of losing, this is also known as the curiosity about winning.
Discipline in gambling is only part of how you don't lose a lot of money, but it's not the way to not be addicted. You only need to change your mindset about winning and gambling goals so you don't get addicted, not learn about discipline and good budget management. Even if you are disciplined and have a budget limit for gambling, then you will also be said to be a gambling addict if you come back the next day or for another session.

Yes, the thing is that we humans are very bad at calculating probabilities in our heads. We're good at things like Newtonian physics (throwing a rock) without calculating anything. But statistics are tricky and not intuitive at all for us.
And casinos basically took that concept and applied it to make lots of money. They show you something that you might think is a good deal, but the real math behind it shows that it's clearly a benefit for the casino, and they will take the money in the long term. But a gambler just doesn't see it unless they do the math. And the vast majority of gamblers won't do the math. That's that key to the casino's success.

The most reason people get addicted when gambling is because they lack discipline that makes them to have poor money management habits. They go after losses and this make them to keep gambling pass their limits and when they realized they have already spent a lot.
When you're discipline and plan all you moves from the time you'll spend gamblers to your budgets, you won't be addicted. Most gamblers started gambling because they saw someone winning and they decide they can try gambling and they'll also win but that didn't happen.
Don't begin to gamble because you saw others doing it, before you begin gambling make sure it's something you want to do and you have understood the risk that comes with gambling. There's chances of you never winning and if that happens you have to stop before you lose everything.

Overall, we agree with what you said. However, it doesn't feel right if we only relate it to discipline. to me, discipline is just a concept, a concept that we apply to gambling. can also, say it discipline is an idea. with this method, we can manage our gambling to be healthier and to avoid things that smell like addiction. but whatever it is, there's nothing wrong if someone really prefers discipline.
Well, for me the important point is not discipline, but rather understanding and responsibility. by having an understanding of gambling itself, at least we really know and understand the definition of gambling itself for ourselves. We know very well that gambling is very risky, and it's not just a matter of winning or losing, but more than that. especially if we don't have understanding, we can just fall asleep and get carried away in every betting session that we do. well, usually novice gamblers don't have much experience. mostly what they think about is playing for fun, and hoping to win the gamble every gambling session. Unfortunately, they don't realize that not having understanding will have an impact on addictive things.

No one has told me about the very first casino sites that I've seen. Honestly, I've just discovered it when I have entered into the crypto market. And many of those have popped to my browser as an ad and I have no idea of what they really are.
Before I've discovered some of it, I'm already a gambler so adjustment isn't that difficult at all. I was just an observant when people gamble in our area before.
I've got no money to gamble but when I've got spare, I tried to join and I did last the card game that I've joined. I can't remember the exact card game but it's with several people.

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
when i was still in college, i had 5 friends and we often did things together (even went to a nightclub together), i remember that at this time there was a big football event and i was interested in joining them to place a bet and luckily we won, since then i gambled a lot, but communication we have been cut off, some have moved to other cities.Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

Often the information we get comes from word of "mouth to mouth" and i'm sure the majority of gambling players currently get information about gambling from their friends too.
My gambling journey began in college when I was introduced by a friend who made lot's of profits from an odd given to him by his coursemate, of which he staked very high and boomed, his winning got my attention cause i needed some cash to sustain myself as a student, he taught me to create an account then with a particular sports betting app and gave me a 50odds which comprises of 10 Epl games he asked me to stake high which I did with a spare 5k I had and boomed, i was very happy to earn such a huge amount of money, so I always went to this particular friend for games whenever we meet.
It went on and on until he graduated and I couldn't keep in touch with him, then I decided to make predictions by myself with the little experience I had from him, on a particular day I was able to come up with about 12 games of up to 200 odds but out of greed and quest to earn more I decide to include another game which I felt was very sure, I could remember it was Barcelona against Malaga and I picked Barcelona to win over magala which is very possible with Barcelona given about 1.20 odds against Malaga given about 15 odds , to cut the long story short, could you believe other games played and Barcelona being the only game with the smallest odds made me lose, lol I felt very bad and regretted including that particular game cause i almost won about 500k in my local currency and that particular game stopped me from winning.
Moral lesson: Greed is not a friend to gambling, do not gamble with greed, lol.
$5k was a lot for a spare cash. I thought you are a poor guy? You are lucky to have that kind of friend but why you never get his contact details? So that you guys can still to talk each other even not personally. You could have ask if what is his secret and if he passed it to you, you are not going to heavily rely on him anymore but you can now make money on your own.It went on and on until he graduated and I couldn't keep in touch with him, then I decided to make predictions by myself with the little experience I had from him, on a particular day I was able to come up with about 12 games of up to 200 odds but out of greed and quest to earn more I decide to include another game which I felt was very sure, I could remember it was Barcelona against Malaga and I picked Barcelona to win over magala which is very possible with Barcelona given about 1.20 odds against Malaga given about 15 odds , to cut the long story short, could you believe other games played and Barcelona being the only game with the smallest odds made me lose, lol I felt very bad and regretted including that particular game cause i almost won about 500k in my local currency and that particular game stopped me from winning.

You are already greedy when you go for 200 odds but I was surprised how you got lucky on it. If only not because of that 1 game you add, you could have gained a massive profit but that's just it goes sometimes. A lot of us here can relate on your story. I hope you learn your lesson now.
Gambling was something I never wanted to do in my life,I didn't know how to go about it and I wasn't interested in it,until a friend that was very close to me won a huge amount of money,that was when my attention shifted to gambling site,I started gambling everyday,staking with my last card just to make money but I wasn't lucky atall,i gambled to the extend that I couldn't stop it again,I was addicted to it because I wanted to recover my money I have lost while gambling,but it wasn't easy atall,I havent been able to recover my money since my day one of gambling,and I am finding it difficult to stop it.
Sometimes I stop it for some months,and I will still go back again to play it,there is nothing I can do,but I just keep going.
In most cases, people start gambling because they've seen someone winning a significant amount through gambling which makes them think that what if they also manage to get that much money through it if they try their luck, that is when they start gambling to see if they can actually get something out of it but usually, they don't get any significant wins but they keep losing money to the gambling sites over and over again but still won't stop.Sometimes I stop it for some months,and I will still go back again to play it,there is nothing I can do,but I just keep going.
The reason why they can't stop is because they've already become addicted and the thought that they will win something now if they play again, they keep doing that until they lose everything they have, that is how someone ends up becoming a gambling addict and then never manage to get out of it.

I remember my first experience in gambling and I was around fifteen (15) years old at that time.
My father and grandfather were notorious in cockfighting. They even constructed a farm solely on raising fighter chickens and they compete on national TV. I remember, my father brought us to this arena/stadium in our country where it was televised. In a cockpit, there were two (2) sides, either you choose A or B. Before the fight begins, lots of people watching on the stage betted against each other choosing either A or B.
During that time, I was confident enough and chose "A" but my father insisted on choosing "B" instead. It was also my birthday at that time and when the fight started, B lost resulting to all of my birthday cash gone!
From that experience, it really traumatized me as a kid which really compelled me to limit my gambling expenses. Whenever I feel like gambling, this core memory kicks-in and reminds me to stop and re-evaluate the situation.

The same goes well for the other people who do not get well in the first game. They say that there's beginner's luck this serves as an instant win that it will courage you to play more gambling, but its not as always happen. instead get more losses, and in your mind could be you want to play more just to get back all of your losses or else want to quit and accept the fact that you lose all of your money but again at the end of the day its all depends on the players perspective and number of asset for their satisfaction and entertainment. If you are just mid-level person have an extra money to play and get entertained and does not have a good cashflow I guess ideal to manage still but if your not and part of the average people ideal to make you fun until you get satisfied.

For the gambling site, especially Bitcoin, my 1st time playing gambling in freebitcoi.in, and actually, I was going there is not to play games, but to earn satoshi, but after exploring and find in what made me interested, I am enough addiction to playing dice. But. is not that exact time, I know gambling about 20 years ago. in fact, I have been a dealer of "Togel" or Lottery on my local city. I sell that lottery on my college or university where many collegers bought it, as you know I can bring home about $10-$20 a day at that time. I was a fairly well-established student at that time.Jump to:
