Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 21. (Read 3286 times)

Yeah, NBA for me, I had tried a lot of gambling sites in the last couple of years, and its' good though that I have a good experience with bitcoin based gambling platform as I listen to the advise of others as what gambling platform I used it in the beginning.

But there was one case though, and it's totally not the fault of crypto gambling sites. It's that during that time, at the height of bitcoin fees was so expensive, I try other cryptos like ETH, unfortunately, I sent it to ETC when I withdraw it and the exchanges that I send it says that they can't help me. So that is a lessons learn for me in the beginning.

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.

I started to play gambling at an early age, it's a card game with my cousins. But we only stake a small amount, so it's more on a friendly game. But when it comes to online casinos, I started playing few years ago after seeing a gamblers on social media flexing their winnings (in their chosen gambling games) and that attracts me to try as well, actually I already shared this before.

My first experience is great and enjoyable. My first game is Dice (the reason why it's special to me). But I thought it's easy to win in gambling so I have expectation that I can also earn while enjoying the game and that's my bad. Gambling is entertaining but one should only play in moderation to avoid having a negative effect caused by excessive playing.

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.

If i cut the part where i was filling lotteries in early life, i think my first gambling session was with a physical roulette table. I didn't get the appeal though as i wasn't winning. But what really got me hooked was table card games, starting from fast poker and red dog. I never understood the appeal for the black jack as i couldn't win high prizes with low bets

Winning few month rents worth of money really opens your eyes for some possibilities. But so does losing them soon after.

My first gambling experience was really nice and it was on sports betting. I want to try it and it was something unplanned and I'm not sure of the odds and all. Just placed the bet and I was able to win. It was on directbet where we need to send the bet amount to a specific wallet and we'll receive it on our wallet if won. I won the bet and it was really nice to see the winning amount in thr wallet.

I was first invited to gambling by a close friend of mine. I was a bit shocked when he invited me. Because I couldn't imagine that friend involved in gambling because he didn't want to spend extra money. Although his invitation surprised me a bit, I accepted it. I got into gambling anyway but my early wins made me quite happy. Because I won there several times and then I lost there. But both me and my friend used to bet together and even if we lost, there was less discord between us because we took consolation from each other.

This is a mindset of a gambling addict, if you're losing when gambling that means you have to stop and move on to try other things. Not everyone will make money from gambling. Some people have their destiny at other things so when gambling isn't working for you, you quit.

I started gambling very young but it isn't young to be considerate an underage gambler. I started gambling after a friend of mine convince me to try it and when I did it made me some profits and since then I have been gambling occasionally but not consistently like an addict.

Gambling is very addictive but you can program yourself so you don't become addicted by having a strategy that'll help you not to over gamble or spend too much money gambling. If you want a means to make money try others means that does depends on you been lucky.

^As I have seen, it's commendable that you have developed some level of self-awareness regarding your gambling habits and the potential negative effects. Maintaining restrictions on the amount you bet is a good decision that can help to avoid the risks associated with excessive gambling. It is true that most of us as a gambler may become so focused on the pursuit of winning that we overlook the losses we have incurred along the way. I think this mindset can be detrimental to one's financial and emotional well-being. Recognizing the importance of balancing the enjoyment of gambling with the potential risks is a positive step toward responsible gambling.

If that is indeed the case in many countries, of course, this can bring prosperity to the deprived people because the government improves their standard of living from the income from the gambling sector. The government may also build public facilities for its people from that income. But if government officials corrupt that income, it will only harm the people, and their country will not develop in a better direction.

It is difficult to win the lottery because it depends on your luck. Many people buy tickets in large quantities, but that doesn't guarantee they can be the winner. If you want to have fun buying lottery tickets, buy what you can afford so you won't lose too much.

Obviously everyone will say as you said that most gamblers will be happy when they get their first win. Honestly I can't explain how I got to this point, I'm addicted but not too bad because I still think about the bad effects when I make too many bets. So I still have a few restrictions on entering the nominal I will bet. I am sure that most gamblers will not realize that they have come this far in gambling, they don't really care about how much loss they have gone through because all they have in mind is a win. I am also happy if there is a gambler who still gambles based solely on pleasure, because of course they will not be too focused on a win so they will only play when they want it for fun.

The amount that we lose does matter. What if you lose big amounts? Do you think it's easy to accept it? No, but there is that revenge feeling that we will experience. Losing small amount doesn't always mean that a gambler won't continue playing for more. They still can because they think their losses are still small. My first gambling experience here in the crypto world is not great. I ended up ALL-IN'ing my balance in the default setting of dice and my first bet was a loss.

No one told me about that casino but I only saw that here in the forum because it was promoted through a signature campaign. Tracking expenses in gambling can be optional because some of us don't take it seriously. If you are still curious if how much you spend, you can always check the history of your gambling account.

I don't really remember my first experience with gambling, but I can only say that I felt really happy when I won the bet for the first time. I wasn't a serious gambler at first, it was just trial and error out of curiosity, but slowly became an addiction.

I am a fan of the lottery, as well as slots, dice, and sports betting, but so far I don't gamble as much as I used to for one reason or another. Although I can still bet on some football match, but that's only when I really feel like doing it for fun. I don't expect many wins, but fun is what I want in every bet I make.

Wow, I've never heard of a government that uses the revenue from lottery tickets to help the poor sector of their country, this is a great thing to be done by a government where governments of poor countries don't really care about their poor population and are mostly busy filling their own pockets by either corruption or running their own businesses all around the world, that is the reason why most third-world countries don't develop easily.

I'm personally not a fan of lotteries because I believe it is very difficult to win in lotteries, especially when there are so many participants and so many tickets have been sold which makes your probabilities lower and you barely manage to win a prize, I've tried it many times but no luck at all.

My experience was challenging, yet I never regretted quitting gambling; it is not the path to choose if you want to live a contented and tranquil lifestyle. At my relatively young age, I assumed that gambling would become my source of money, but I believe I was mistaken. Gambling dealt with me; I was a victim of people who were treated unfairly by the system; I utilized my school fees to gamble, and the system took everything from me, because I was hoping to win the Lotto one day so I could make big profits, but my desire was reduced to a bare minimum.

My first experience with gambling was with slots. It was an after school thing with friends at a physical casino and I think I was around 18 or 19. It was something completely new for me and while I started off with mere Euro cents, soon I lost over 50 Euros or so before I realized that I needed to stop. Don't get me wrong, I had fun but as with discovering anything new there is a tendency to overdo it and not even notice. But slots alone do get boring after a while. Especially the European slots which were my first ones. They are basically all the same template but with a different style. So there is only so much you can get from them in terms of entertainment. I moved on to card games not soon after and honestly, I have not gotten bored of poker even after all these years. I think what keeps the game exciting are the different people that you play with.

that is overstatement mate to claim that  many people who joined gambling find it difficult to get out because i can get out of gambling any time I wanted but why should I when i only enjoy playing for some times?
I was being lured by childhood friend inside our school premises , and yes we gamble a card gaming Lucky9 lol.

and about the experience? it was nice and exciting though i lost all my pocket money .

then you are not a responsible person because you don't even know how much you are spending to gamble.

that's not true at all.
not everyone who starts betting becomes addicted to gambling.
not everyone who is addicted to gambling spends all their money.
if you had gambling issues just reflect what is the issue. is this related to gambling or there is a compulsive?

My first experience with gambling has been in family. Playing cards games during the summer or xmas. later I get some scratch card (literally the first one that I take give me around 25 euros of nowadays, a lot of money at that time/age).
if you play just for fun, it's a nice hobby, relaxing, in a certain way also productive.
if you have issue, STOP immediately and take any possible action to avoid recurrence issue!

Remember, anything that is done in excess, then the impact will be very bad and gambling is no exception.
about what you said, especially the main points. To be honest, I really agree with what you said. why, because of the fun things, it would be difficult for us to avoid including gambling. most people, beginners, or pro gamblers, will do the same cycle as you said in the first line.
well, usually the problem lies with the gambler himself. I mean, if you have a job and responsibilities, you're not always going to be focused on gambling. because, you will spend your time with work activities that become your routine. thus, you will conduct gambling sessions on the sidelines of the leisure time you have. or maybe, on a holiday. thus, you will not be affected by the effects of addiction as you say.

For me, gambling is part of the fun in the midst of busy work routines. Usually, I do gambling sessions when I have free time. except, sports betting. because, after we made the bet, I stay focused on what I should be doing. the third point, we are here, have lots of casinos that have a reputation you can trust. some of them, already have big names.
well, before I apologize, I did not enter to patronize you. it's just that, the first thing you need to know, in betting there is always a risk. if we don't win, it means we lose. Second, you have to know what game you're playing. if you are purely playing gambling based on luck, play without the hope of getting a big win. make it, just an entertainment even though the fee is expensive. but if you have sports knowledge, you can develop the insights you have. at least, the probability of winning that you have is higher than other types of gambling. point is, play with money prepared to lose and make it just part of the hobby.

My first gambling was painful, so I don't know why I kept doing it in the years to follow.
We would bet on football matches with friends and kept losing because we'd bet with our hearts rather than our brains I had a local team that we'd all be fans of because we lived near the team's home stadium, so betting against your team was seen as a treachery, but the team was underperforming for many years. Funnily enough, years later, when I moved to another city for a job, the team had a great year and advanced into the first league, but I wasn't there to see it and bet on them.
