Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 22. (Read 3062 times)

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.

Daily repetitious activity will undoubtedly lead to addiction; I'm completely out of the system, although I continue to receive information regarding the gambling system. Gambling was something that appreciative my utmost operations; I was enthralled into gambling on more games every day since I possessed a great deal of beginner luck; it was as if I knew the outcome of every game fixed. I would occasionally email my colleagues accurate forecasts that would result in profits; at the end of the day, 80% were correct, and earnings were shared among ourselves.

Generally, it is the environment that influences a person to be involved in gambling because usually they will invite them to try it first and after that we will be addicted to gambling. When parental control is lacking, we will become more addicted and difficult to get out of gambling. Vice versa addiction in alcohol and other things if not properly controlled by their parents.

If the nature is addicted it will be difficult to get out of the gambling circle, unless we leave the environment and try to find other activities for everyday. I was released from addiction due to work factors and left the gambling environment where I lived in the village and am grateful that now I am no longer addicted to gambling.

Man , I was so young when it all started ...like around 10 years old. Me and my friends were always out after school to play football around the blocks but there was an old man from my block who was gambling to sports and everytime he showed up outside , I was asking if I can go with him and place my ticket as well and he agreed most of the time because hey ...I was just a kid. I remember entering the bookie and everyone was looking at me but the guy told me I was his nephew and I'm just placing tickets in his behalf ...strange or not , I even got help from the guys and learned what 1x2 means and so on. Funny or not , one time I've placed 11 games in Serie A with half time - full time result and only 2 games got me out but my tickets were always chaos with big odds because as a kid , in my mind , all the important teams were unbeatable in my mind  .

After 2 years , we had a new agency in town where the main attractive point was Lotto tickets but funny or not they had sports betting as well without asking if you're major or not ...and when we found out , me and my buddies were there placing bets with 1ron which means today like 20 cents in Euro. Crazy times even if we never won a ticket hahaha because we were to crazy with the odds. 

 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.

No it is wrong because only a little that joining gambling site turns addicted because of being lack of capital to gamble.
there is no one that needs to tell us about gambling site when you are in this forum ., because it is rampantly advertised here in bitcointalk and the  section it self will teach you how and where to play.
but you did not gamble all your money from pocket? and also have something to eat in table? then you are not addicted.

very good self-control and don't think too much about gambling but at least you already have experience in gambling. unfortunately your experience seems a little unimpressive because you lost money the first time you tried to bet on gambling. but even though it was not a memorable experience, at least you have stories in the past that you have gone through when gambling and can tell you that gambling does not need to be taken seriously and prefers to refrain from continuing to gamble.

Usually everything starts with a faucet before getting to know about gambling because there used to be faucets available so people could test games like HI-LO, I've also tried that on freebitoin to be precise, but I've also seen it on PD as well because at that time primedice was quite famous too. this forum, because the Primedice dice game is very much used by the community of this forum.

After seeing that many new casinos are coming with new games PD is not so many players anymore and maybe people are turning to Stake which is becoming a business too, casinos should now learn from gambling platform sites used to provide free faucets for new users to be able to test games on their site.

I got to know gambling sites by accident. At that time I worked as a freelancer on the fiver site. There is an article order for a new online gambling project that will open a service. I wrote almost all of the article content on the site. At first I was paid using paypal, but when their paypal balance ran out I was paid with webmoney. And in my country at that time it was still difficult to convert webmoney into fiat money so I spent it on gambling

The customer of this article also offered me to do a slot game test, to test whether each slot is working properly or not. I get paid to do this. Until I was offered as an influencer on YouTube to promote their site. but I turned down the offer

Maybe it was the beginning until I finally got to know the gambling circle, Until I spent quite a lot of money

The first gambling experience must have been memorable because it was something different that I could feel. When gambling is fiat, I feel interested in playing other games but don't think about winning or losing. Playing can make me feel all kinds of feelings that can't be told.

But that has all passed and only memories that I can remember. Even though the number of wins and losses is greater, that's okay because I consider gambling as entertainment. Maybe playing gambling with a little money would be better for me now than using a lot of money because, seeing what I have gotten from gambling so far, I have lost more than I have won.

And besides that, I also have to stay out of trouble from gambling games so that it keeps me on the same path as before: using only a small amount of money.

I don't exactly remember when but that was in 2014 or 2015 when I discovered this faucet site that has hi-lo, next is Primedice, and yes, I've known PD first before this forum. Of course, my first experience was very good. From faucet claim to 0.004btc for playing 2 hours straight. I was overwhelmed by my early years, especially when I was in PD and maybe that is the reason that keeps my hope in gambling.

My first gambling experience was amazing and fascinating. I made a huge entrance by playing as many games as I could each day and was extremely fortunate to win the majority of my wagers. That gave me the motivation I needed to keep playing the slots until it turned into an addiction, at which point I had to stop.

An impressive experience and of course it was your first big win, it's just that I'm sure you're having trouble being able to repeat it now.
Everyone has experience in betting but not all of them have a sweet experience like what you have because some gamblers actually have a bitter experience that cannot be forgotten.

There is a statement that I do not like "So i can tell if anyone learn properly and play game and bet there has huge possibility to gain money. "
Because not all types of bets can be won with only right study properly

I know about gambling sites because of the advertisement in this forum.  So far my experience with gambling is ok. I lose some I win some.  Though if computed, I might say that I am on the green because I have a winning streak this past month that still outweighed my series of loses recently.  I think the most multiplier I won is around 2000x+ and the largest winnings I got is winning $700+ from $50 bankroll.  I have not experienced max win but I experienced losing my bankroll in less than 10 minutes after I start my gambling session.  After losing my initial bankroll, I tend to stop because that was my gambling fund allocation and I do not want to spend more money knowing that my luck sucks that day.

Gambling and trading are similar, but it's not like trading. Trading needs some knowledge and skills to make a profit. If you do not know about trading, you will lose your money in trading. In comparison, gambling in slot games and in-house games requires no skills. There is nothing to do with the experience. Every gambler has the same winning chance in those games.

Even Experienced gambler might lose their entire bankroll in gambling. You cannot do anything except refrain from placing bets. House always wins in the long run. House doesn't know if you are an experienced player or not. It applied the same percentage of house edge with each and every player.

I don't remember exactly when I started gambling so I don't have full knowledge of my first gambling experience.  But one memorable gambling incident I remember was when I placed a bet for a sports bet and a friend of mine placed a bet against me at a gambling site. And I talk a lot with my friend about that. And at one point we bet physically against each other in person for $100 each in addition to online betting.  And then I won and my friend refused to give me money because of which I had a problem with him but later we reconciled and my friend also gave me money but with that money I had a party with friend circle.

That's the important thing about gambling, if you can stop whenever you want to then you are doing the right thing and you shouldn't be worrying about anything else. I understand how some people could fall into gambling pit and how they end up with losing too much money.

We have even heard about people who gambled so much that they lost all their money and they ended up with losing all they had and commit suicide, that is actually beyond what should be gambled, and I do not mean like just a bit, that's literally the edge of how much you could gamble, you can't do it anymore after that unfortunately. So, having a stop mechanism when you should is a big deal and you should be proud of being able to do that since a lot of people can't.

Always gambling is not bad and all time everyone will losser it is not like that. I am a person who are profited from gambling bet. It was 2015 my first bet from bet365 i was played a full game and i made 1500% profit. My fund was only $10 and i played t20 game and my profit was $150. I played several bet in that game. I think it was great experience for me. So i can tell if anyone learn properly and play game and bet there has huge possibility to gain money.

Actually I had idea about gambling sites long ago but I was not into gambling. My first gambling entry was probably around 2022 which I clearly remember losing the first gambling bet of my life. Although the stakes were very small, the first gambling experience in life began with a losing streak. But one thing is very important to me that I prefer to spend most of my life behind my family so I don't spend much time behind gambling. So I have no real experience of such bitter and sweet in my life.
