Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 23. (Read 3062 times)

^We are the same and I remember that time I was looking for a free BTC and then I searched (free bitcoin) but Freebitco.in popped up.
And then I give it a try until that time I know how to gamble in the lottery and the high and low game which no one told me about the gambling casino. But at that time I know how to control myself in gambling and only gamble what I have collected from the airdrop because it is not uncommon for people to lose track of the amount of money they have spent while engaged in gambling activities. That is why responsible gambling practices, such as setting a budget and maintaining self-control, are crucial to ensure a healthy and enjoyable experience. It is always important to be aware of the risks associated with gambling and to seek support if you feel it is becoming a problem.

My first taste in gambling is through lottery betting, lottery is so popular here in our country that almost every street here in our country have a lottery outlet its very easy to bet all you have to do is to pick six numbers in a lottery ticket and pay in the counter and watch the result live on TV to see how many numbers did you hit, there's also a consolation prize if you hit 5 digits and 4 digits, I can consider lottery is our national form of gambling its government-run and part of the revenues are being used to help the poor sector of our country that is why it is well supported by our citizen.

Is Freebitco.in worth a first experience in gambling or is it just casinos?

I met him while searching the internet for a way to earn free bitcoins, because at the time I didn't have the money to buy them and I didn't even know about the existence of bitcointalk.

Before casinos became popular, my first bets were on this famous bitcoin faucet, I think the big revolution they made was precisely allowing (trying) to multiply the amount in banking.

After that, I went through many casinos in fiat that I don't even remember now, I always lost money .... either by betting wrongly or else being deceived by fraudulent sites.

During the pandemic, I focused more on sports games, especially football, and I was able to better control my expenses by placing bets mainly on games that I had some knowledge of.

My first gamble was in Senior High School, a bunch of friends brought poker cards and we had some simple fun at first but eh, you know how it goes with high school, we moved towards betting with small coins then, well, went big. It was fun yea, but had to stop since well, I bet rather big so it was rather hurtful for my lunch money for a few weeks and two, had a gf back then and she bloody hated gambling (I started it behind her back). It was a rather enjoyable experience though since the thrill I felt was a first.

As for casino sites, I discovered them myself during 3rd year of college or so? Played a bit then and stopped, and continued only after I graduated.

First experience was fun since my focus is not just about making money at that time and its a pure for entertainment only. By the time I enter the right age, I was able to enter the casino for the first time and my budget is limited at that time, as expected I lose the money and that’s the beginning of my gambling story in casinos. As a new gambler you tend to play with lots of emotion but as the time goes by, you’ll realize how risky gambling is and you’ll realize that making money is not guaranteed at all.

I remember my first gambling experience when you're struggling. I entered this world with astonishment and excitement after hearing stories about people getting rich quickly. My gambling-savvy older cousin told me about it. I started for fun with modest money I could lose. As you mentioned, play became passion swiftly. As I entered the loop, I lost myself. Losing more made me realize how bad things may get. My cousin's and my fury was unbearable. Wisdom was difficult to learn. Gambling was a scam for easy money LOLL  

I won my bets on my first gambling. Well, I had the money and someone more experienced instructed me on the games to bet on. I hope this still counts. I can remember that I gave the colleague who helped some money out of it and the rest I used to order Pizza and live like a king in my campus dormitory during that weekend. It was an unforgettable experience. I would later lose money after returning  to place bet on other random sports games, like horse racing, boxing, Judo, swimming. It happened because there was no one to guide this novice. I experienced emotional pain. I stopped betting after that terrible experience and would pick it in my final year at college.

I remembered  my first day i was happy since it was me expecting money, and all started from my brother inlaw who enjoys betting  and end up been addicted, he works at the club  and comes  back with a betting slip to confirm if there is a win and at the end of the day he add zero wins, it was from him I knew how to place a bet online, then what I did was that was sure the limit was there and instead of arguing  for nothing I argue with my ticket, since playing constant is for does that have balls that can deal with emotions, the funniest of it all is that you keep expecting money you don't have, one there is a limit then even the risk of losing money wil reduce. Betting lot is risky and can liquidate you of all your assets

On the time that i do able to know this crypto space then my first gamble was on Freebitco.in. Wayback where faucet earning is really that relevant on which this had been popular wayback when it comes into its

hi-lo game plus having that faucet and even up to now but it seems that interest isnt really as before.On the time that i do able to touch up those first time experience on online gambling then it did really
spark out that kind of interest with gambling. Zooming out then you could really see lots of options or places on which you could re ally be able to choose on where you would really be playing.
Different offerings or different types of games on which you  would be able to play on as long you do have the money on doing so.

Experience? Just like as usual on which losses would really be bringing out that kind of huge disappointment and you would really be that too impulsive when it comes to this.
We know that human beings doesnt really like on losing money and this is why these reactions are normal.

Well my first gambling experience turned out to be a whole big trap for because it was on my first try that had a quite impressive win although it was during my secondary school days and my older friends were the ones that invited to the casino where I actually took my first try and had a win on that try and I can recall how I felt during that time. After that day I always went back to the casino never knowing this casino just hustle me and this time when I went back it was like rain with the losing streak.

My first experience with gambling was pretty good since I won my first bets and I made a big money from it. It wasn’t expected because I was new to that and my friends dared me to win and I was like sure, I will try that but in sports betting because i’m pretty good at guessing football games results.

As i said my first experience was positive as I won around 2k$ in just few days but then I had losses streaks:D I was gambling on an online website called PlanetWin that accepts fiat only but then i just moved to gamble on others casino websites that accept Bitcoin because they’re just better imo.

As I mentioned in a similar topic before, the reason for my interest in gambling was due to the fact that my country is a casino paradise. Many of the services offered in the casinos and the fact that it is very easy to physically access the casinos to gamble caused me to have a lot of curiosity about gambling. Although my first gambling experience started with sports betting than I used to go to casinos with certain frequencies and play various games there. Due to the fact that I had such various advantages it was a little late to get my first online gambling experience. When I was going to gamble online I did not get any advice from anyone around me and after researching the websites I discovered myself I started gambling here. The reason why I chose to gamble online was that I couldn't leave the house at certain times and I wanted to gamble for fun.

It was exhilarating to say the least. The first time I joined and played the game (talking about my first ever experience gambling in a casino) it was loud and yet at the same time people are so invested that you'd not hear a single thing. I was nervous cause I only had experiences of playing that particular game in videogames and nothing else. When it came my turn, I was sweating profusely. I still managed to bag a couple of wins in there and ultimately go home with a positive experience. But since then I have never visited a land casino anymore.

My virtual gambling experience however, was a bit sadder. I was bored as hell during the heights of the COVID pandemic and you can't really do much back then since all stores are closed and everyone's forced to go back to their houses unless you work for the health sector. One day my old friends hit me up to recommend gambling where they play and bet on who's gonna bag more wins after the session. There's a prize pot that we all chipped in and we base winners on a hierarchy basis so that everyone's able to get something at the end of the day. It was fun while I was playing with friends and hanging out with them through Facebook Messenger and Discord but afterwards I just feel drained and sad, probably cause I couldn't hang out with them in real life.

It was ridiculous to be honest. My friends have introduced it to me when I was in college and told me that I would generate a huge profit without losing my capital. I was a beginner before and wasn't aware of the risks because they introduced it to me as if the chances of winning is huge. Little did I know that they were just convincing me for the referal rewards that they would get. I bet using my weekly allowance and suffered for losses.
From then on, I started researching about how gambling really works and changed my mindset towards it. Those friends of mine have fallen into gambling addiction and weren't able to finish their college. It's really important that we'll do a research all the time before believing to flowery words that others might offer.

It is the results of others that do make some persons to see gambling and an industry of survival which is not. It is not everybody that will become a successful gambler so we need to understand that and work towards the reason why we decided to be gambling. Gambling is a very difficult task and some persons still don't know. Gambling is just like trading so we need to know that since not all traders make profits from trading still not all gamblers are going to be a winner or s profitable one. We need to understand that for us to be a profitable gambler, there is task that is involved that we needed to take yo be a gambler with profitability.

I think that just like the threads of addicts, this type of thread comes to the fore in the form of an addiction to the subject  "my first bet..." every once in a while, #tbt.

First, you are undoubtedly referring to the Internet age, but in my case I started offline, in the case of the Internet age it is difficult to remember, in any case where this topic leads us, how knowledge benefits me;  "year 2013, I made my first bet..."

I think that the usefulness in a subject like this lies in perhaps, the permanence (+ 20yerars), profits (+1$, ) and calibrating it to what type of specialization you got, in my case it was Poker.

Yes, it's true that environmental factors can influence people to try gambling for the first time, for example from close friends who are also gamblers, of course we will try something that friends invite, it's commonplace like friends inviting us to drink alcohol, obviously we can't refuse let alone play gambling, it is clear that we will also be affected because of a friend's invitation.

Maybe a lot of money has been lost because of gambling, sometimes by gambling because inviting friends can create hostility and conflict, usually because of money problems and perceived defeats, let alone becoming an addict, that's why even though I like to gamble for fun, I never want to invite my friends to play gambling. . if he can't control himself and becomes an addict of course I'm very guilty of ruining my friend's life.

Definitely it was fun but on my first month I suffered from huge loss. I was not paying attention with the risk and was just greedy and frustrated to win the game. Fortunately, I was knocked by the reality that it'll be nonsense to push through bigger bet in order to win bigtime. Well, it would make sense but will also cost me not only scents but bucks. I gradually lessen my bets and disregard the idea of becoming rich thru gambling. Well, as we do know there are people who really managed to do so, but that's a one in a million ratio. Better be preventive of your losses than to be sorry at the end. To hope is okay but to rely is a different thing.

I live in a gambling environment where at that time we often saw people betting on football using traditional systems and we often saw them trying to make lots in every game and the bets were still quite varied at that time. Once I entered high school friends offered me a world cup match and they asked me to bet on a match with a small bet amount first and at that time I won my first bet and at that moment I was addicted too.

In the end I left the gambling circle due to work factors that forced me to move from that place of residence and today I am also often involved in online gambling, but for now it is not as active as first in gambling.

Indeed more friends invite people to get involved in gambling and most people are introduced to gambling by invitations from friends. Until now I also did not count how much money I have spent on gambling.

You only get addicted when you do it every now. It's more like smoking, the more you smoke the more you like nicotine in the long run but I think it also depends on the personality of the person.

I didn't plan to gamble in crypto but back then there was an exchange that shall remain unnamed has a dice game in it. So I tried playing dice since a lot of users are also discussing dice games. It's not really a great experience when you think playing dice in crypto is like literally throwing dice, it's just a roll-up and roll-down option. But I did win at first and then lost all after it.
