The first experience with gambling for me was my realisation that gambling is a loss for the players and a win only for the owners and it's affiliates. Jackpots are not common and people think too much about their high confidence when they actually have none. This does not come to everybody and most people only think that if they play long enough they will win loads of money.
Hence I consider this as a life lesson and not a bad experience. This helps newbies to learn both sides of gambling and not be stuck with only one

I started gambling in "Brick n mortar" casinos, before online gambling were available. I went into this huge building and there were lights flashing and alarm bells going off like crazy. I had a bucket full of coins and big dreams to win a huge Jackpot.
I played for about 2 hours and saw people winning all around me, so I kept my hopes up and got some more coins. I played for another 20 minutes and suddenly alarm bells went of for me too... I won $3000 and I only spend $200 getting it.
I stopped gambling for the day and bought myself a steak dinner and a expensive bottle of wine. The next day, I went back with $2000 and I lost it all.

It all started from a bad situation and I played on the internet seeing that gambling was never even taught by people. My bad gambling experience was when I joined gambling with the hope that I could get rich by gambling, but in the end after losing money I increasingly realized that You have to be wise in gambling and you shouldn't be greedy, especially with the aim of making a fortune from gambling. It's very impossible, of the many games I've played, all of them will never be lucky.
The more mature I gamble, the more I understand that gambling should only be for fun, I changed my mindset from gambling to only looking for pleasure by gambling until now, don't take gambling seriously, just play wisely, that's why now I never gamble playing casinos but prefer sports betting , because playing casino against a machine will never win except for fun.

Actually, people who are trapped in a gambling circle have no problem, which becomes a problem when they start to lose everything, it is difficult to control themselves to get out of the circle. Gamblers who consider gambling activities as a place to seek wealth will find it difficult to stop even though they often lose, the adrenaline produced in their bodies always responds positively to the results obtained. I quite often visit gambling sites and place bets on various games, losing is inevitable, but it doesn't deter me because I see gambling as a place to seek pleasure and relieve stress after carrying out routine activities in real life.

It was playing slots live, a long time ago. I was with friends and we were watching people we knew play, so we ended up playing, at a time when we were still underage, but the owner of the place turned a blind eye, the son of a bitch. In the end what gets you hooked is winning a prize, that's what happened to me. I played a few times but when I hit the jackpot it became a vice. Luckily I didn't have much money at the time and the vice passed and I never had any problems with gambling after that.
Before, no one told me about which sites to play and my first gambling session started after finding out about crypto casinos and visiting the gambling board. I wasn't aware of any local online casinos back then, so crypto casinos became my starting point. At that time, crypto casinos handed out generous rewards from their promotions and sometimes they would announce a unique event only for their chat. I remember being lucky enough to catch the rain from one of the high rollers and I almost panicked because I thought someone mistakenly sent the money to my account. 
My first experience happened when I wasn't even 18, which was definitely not legal but noone cared in all times. I was regularly doing sports betting so. My first time was also sports betting (football betting exactly). I was very nervous about what to say to owner there when I with my betting coupon. But guy didn't care. He just took my coupon, applied it to system, took my money. Also I think I lost my first ever sports betting experience.
My first experience with gambling was fun. It was way back when I was still in my elementary days. We played with real money. It was just like any other game except that it involved coins you can spend. So it was more fun. The desire to win was much stronger compared to when we were playing rubber bands or marbles.
Online gambling came late. I was already working when I first got into online gambling. It was also fun but since it involved significant amounts, it wasn't just a game. So I had to be careful. It never got to a point when I couldn't care less about how much I lost for as long as I have the money and can continue gambling. I've never been addicted.

I can't really recall when was the first tiime I gambled but I'm pretty sure it happened due to a match I saw and was very sure about how the game was going to end and then waggered on the game ( it was not an online gambling, I bought it from local gambling shop) and indeed my prediction was accurate. It was later I went ahead to create an account in an online gambling site because of some advert I saw onine concerning the bonus that was attached to owning a new account.
Alot of users here have their own unique story rangign from seeing others win big cash to just opening a gambling account to have fun...

I forgot my first gambling experience because it was a few years back so it's still hard to remember.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
Gambling has been around for a long time so it's very natural that they know, the experience of what they do is certainly different, there are those who gamble once and don't play anymore because they lose, there are those who play and continue to be addicted until now there are many, I feel that many are starting to get addicted to gambling games, now more experience is crypto-based casinos rather than using fiat.
I have never counted how much money has come out in gambling it has never been recalled and it has become normal for me that a loss in gambling is part of the risk but for me it is only enough with pleasure.
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
Really? I think it's about habits and problem gamblers, it's true that more people are trapped in problem gambler circles, but all of that can be overcome by seeing gambling as a means to seek entertainment and not for life. For me, there is a separate allocation of money for gambling each week, and when it loses and runs out, I will not use the rest of my money that week.

My first experience of betting was in the Sportsbook in a UCL game a few years ago (if I'm not mistaken about 9 years ago), in that game I chose Schalke with a $3,5 bet and I won this bet. For who introduced me to gambling, it is certain that the answer is my friend.
Seeing your thread I was curious to remember what was the first time I placed a bet online, and I just found it in my email: it was on June 16, 2014
It was to bet on the World Cup that was held in Brazil, and at that time it was not with cryptos, it was only with fiat money
This is from my mail box
I started betting because I saw it on other forums on the internet, I didn't know Bitcointalk yet at that time and I had a great start, since I won many bets during the world cup and withdrew my profits.
I never had any problems with betting, I never had any addictions, so I never had to try to get out.
Curious to see how many people started gambling because they found out about the gambling sites here on Bitcointalk
