Topic: How was your first experience with gambling? - page 3. (Read 3062 times)

On that point, taking it in a weekly manner would lessen the amount of possible losses compared to the amount that you will going to spend if you are doing it in a daily manner, and if by luck you manage to win and able to stop, it can generate decent winnings, unlike with daily gambling where addiction can be acquired,

with that kind of engagements even you say you are just using a small amount of money, there's always a chance that you will not be satisfied and you will try to add more to continue playing.

Yes, gambling is not a job and not a way to make money. Even though sometimes we win and get the jackpot, gambling cannot be categorized as a job because it does not have the stability of our financial income.

I have the experience of gambling almost every day, even though I only deposit a little money but gambling every day is not a good choice. More losses at that, there are times when it is very difficult to get a big win and just spend money. Then I tried playing once a week (rarely) and it turned out better

My first experience with gambling didn't come with the name or knowledge that the activity I was engage in or agreed to participate in after staking something for a price was called gambling.

Where I come from, we sometimes stake something when we engage in an activity or that the other may or ourselves would take it seriously. We do not do it always but if we want the other person to take the game seriously, we put a price tag to it - "the winner takes it all".

It was not until, I began to become exposed that what we did started to get its name. From there we now moved to the more organized and sophisticated form gambling.

First gambling I did alot was in school type setting vs other students.  That is ideal in some ways because if you dont win, friends will win so nobody loses in that sense.  The capital is recycled and nobody is taking a fee not the dealer or anyone as its just another player.   We ran the risk of censure since gambling in an academic building during lesson time is hardly in line with a educational policy but nobody seemed to notice we were actually putting down cash for wins etc.  It was never big money just fun stuff.  Ideal way to learn some card games so long as nobody takes it serious or tries to put down large bets and make it serious.

Gamblers need to accept the reality, gambling is supposed to be a hobby and not our main occupation, while the idea of earning a lot of money and also have fun in the process is a very attractive proposition, we also need to consider how likely is it for us to obtain those results? And it should be obvious this is not very likely, as the games offered by the casinos are naturally disadvantageous to us, and while on the short term we could earn some money, when it comes to the long term we will lose it.

It is simply random, so some people will win in their first bet and others will lose.

You were one of the lucky ones.

If you wanted to end up winning against the casino you should have stopped gambling altogether, but of course that is not as exciting as staying gambling, which will make you lose all your money

My first experience was amazing. I won just a small amount, probably some beginner’s luck. So I my urge to gamble became more intense that I definitely want to put a higher bet. I did but I was disappointed after that since I literally lose all my money even my previous winnings as well. Maybe that’s how gambling is all about. They make you win first and eventually get back all those that you have won. I actually learn the gambling site from a trusted friend. And he did warned about its risk. But as a newbie, you will definitely think that you might be lucky and get the chance to win big. And that was my first loss, and I surely learned a lesson from that.

I probably learned to gamble when I was in high school and yes, it was really fun at first even though I always lost, but when I got to know about gambling, I seemed to enjoy it more at that time because I was always winning before. The bets used to be small because I was still young. luckily I didn't become addicted to gambling because of my parents because when they found out I was gambling they scolded me and told me that gambling is bad at my age.

I also learned about gambling because of my parents lol, they always gamble at home so I'm curious about that

We have given a lot of useful advice to those who need it, but it will all come back to them because they will decide to use our advice or advice from other people or even their own decisions. We cannot force them to follow our suggestions, especially if they feel uncomfortable carrying out the suggestions. It will depend on how they feel about doing it. But at least they already have more suggestions from friends here, so they can choose which suggestions are more suitable.

Before registering at a casino, we must do further research to know whether the casino is what we are looking for or whether we should continue another search. We should be able to get more useful information to check the casino. And if we have found a suitable casino, we can register to see the inside before depositing some money. When depositing money, we don't need to immediately deposit large amounts of money but try to deposit small amounts of money. What is important is the amount of money we can afford.

That's right, lately I have seen many threads emphasizing problems with addiction, this makes me think that many people may be suffering from addiction to the game, of course the diction to juice is not only a problem that can affect newbies, also experienced players, who, due to problems or whatever, fall there, then we can do something, it would be excellent if there could be some messages pinned within the forum where many threads of the main advice are shown, in the part or section of the forum beginners and first steps that must be done, because they try to give advice and have very good threads, but novice players do not read this, they go to the game threads, as if they know a lot, no type of protection is taken When playing, that is, they do not read the consequences of the facts, they see the casino game as something very normal where they can have complete control and not lose anything, but on the contrary they enter thinking that they can multiply their money a lot, and that is not the case. .

In this aspect, we must do something to avoid this. Personally, whenever I can, I say, in a casino, before entering, register, what you should do as the first option is to allocate the money that you are willing to lose, not to get your hopes up in what you can win, but what you can lose, if you have that as a promise you are already stepping on the ground, why? because if you lose, you know that the casino is like that, it is something normal, you rest with the enjoyment of having played, otherwise you can make more money, multiply it or something like that, which can be done too, but what It wants to be expressed and put once and for all as something that has to be clear, that in a casino you will always have the best options to win, not to lose, for that reason I say, a player cannot expect more from a casino. , nor that if you bet a lot of money you have the right to win, no, the casino is the one that has the business, no one is going to set up a business so that others win and not the owners.

Yes, that is true because the intention to stop or abandon gambling can make a person realize that he has to stop gambling. And this can be done even better if his family supports his actions because they will help him to cure his gambling addiction. His family will also accompany him through every process of healing his gambling addiction so that he will not find it difficult to go through it. But it all comes back to the gambling addict because this requires recognition that he needs help from his family, he must have a strong intention to heal himself, and he must be able to go through every healing process without complaining. All gambling addicts can cure their gambling addiction as long as they want.

Making extra money by gambling is wrong, it will only waste your money unless you are a professional and master of gambling. Of course this can be an option to make extra money but in gambling it is not easy we have to play it carefully and use it the strategy to be able to win at gambling alone is not necessarily a win for those who use gambling as additional income most of them will fail because they don't really master gambling.


Yes, that absolutely true, thats an important thing for gamblers to do, just like the saying said "prevention is better than cure"

Yeah, it is just fiction when you hear about those stories.

Gamblers are quick to tell the times when they won, but are always forgetting when they lose against the casinos.

If you sum up all the wins and losses, it is pretty much guaranteed all the gamblers are going to lose money in the long run.

Logically right, to have extra money you need to look for other options, doubling your money into gambling that's something that really hard to achieved, sometimes you may win and most of the time you are at risk, what's important is you have that will to move forward, when you lose you need to assess yourself and see if you are still capable of controlling yourself, losing that control will always be the risk behind this activity.

Always have that discipline to make sure not to fall into any potential risk with your financial and mental aspects.

It's true what you say , is difficult for a gambling addict to change, but if you definitely intend to reduce gambling,  you can do it , especially if you already have a family, you have to reduce your gambling.
 to double the money doesn't have to be actually with gambling 

The problem is that people who have already earned money from gambling still choose to continue gambling because they still want to earn more money. But it's hard to get because gambling is not a place to make money. Those who try it will probably not have more opportunities to make money, but most will experience loss. And this can make them addicted to gambling, especially if they can't stop gambling.

And other people even borrow money from other people to gamble because they think they can make money from gambling. However, it is not what they expected because it will not be easy for them to make money from gambling. Yes, the advice not to take a loan from anywhere is the best advice to avoid other problems that we will face. And if you still want to gamble, you have to allocate some funds for gambling and don't gamble excessively to reduce the amount you lose.

It is known to all gamblers that once you become addicted to gambling it is impossible to quit. I have been gambling on gambling sites since many years ago and at first i was lost lot of money but later won lot of money. Personally i can say that when i deposit money in a gambling site and play the aim is to double the money so i don't worry if all the money is gone suddenly. On the other hand no one introduced me to gambling sites and i took the idea on my own research. I made myself a gambler through some articles and videos.

I think if you are actually gaining some money from gambling, it is always better to stop doing it and get out while you have an average positive output. Otherwise, you are going to get addicted to this, and you are definitely going to end up losing a lot of money which you should not. I have seen people taking loans to gamble and trying to make money by gambling to actually repay those loans.. lol.

I am not saying I am the smartest man alive, but that was pretty stupid, in my opinion. So first of all do not gamble by taking a bank loan. And even if you are a multimillionaire, try to practice addiction-free gambling habits.
