especially foe newbie try it with money game first or small money first
if you feel you expert enough you can try it with real and big money
The experience on playing real and a token money is different. When you play gambling with the use of token with no value, you won't feel any risk and your mood will stay calm while on the other hand, when you play with real money and big amount. You will feel nervous everytime you bet and this affects your game. And this kind of situation is not good for newbie because they still don't know how to handle it
Betting with small amount of money or use unreal money is just a way to make a newbie understand with all the features regarding setting. Hence, when a newbie ready to make the real betting they won't make one or more mistakes caused by wrong setting. And yes, you're correct. Gambling with small and big money will have different feeling. Mostly it'll affect on the final decision. It's easier to make a decision when we played with the small money but it'll be a bit harder with relatively huge amount of money.
