Topic: What Aspect of Sports Betting or Casino Gambling Posed a Challenge for You? (Read 328 times)

This is strategy that really attracts the interest of every gambler because if you look at professional gamblers who use the martingale strategy, they will succeed in getting big wins and can minimize losses because the more bets they use, the more they win and the bigger their wins.
But in reality it is not as easy as we imagine and we see in several broadcasts or stories of other gamblers when using the martingale strategy, this strategy requires lot of money and of course every gambler must really prepare themselves mentally quite strongly.
There are surprises that may make gamblers feel emotionally challenged but also sense of doubt when they only suffer defeat, in the martingale strategy you have to forget about defeat until you actually win.
This is usually often said to be the strategy of rich gamblers or professional gamblers who are able to have large balances in each gambling session, new gamblers or beginners when trying to use martingale then I'm sure they will get down and decide to stop and this is where losses actually occur without there is chance to come back.
In mathematical calculations, the Martingale strategy works by multiplying the amount of money in each bet and when you win, the calculation of the winning amount will cover all the losses that occurred from the start.
But this is not recommended and is not worth forcing on novice gamblers who do not have the ability, ability in the sense of sufficient capital and strong mentality to be able to accept every loss that occurs.

In this thread I already talked about how difficult it was in my first days making sports bets, mainly because I didn't understand anything about over and under goals and it was much more difficult to understand about the Asian market, so I read but didn't understand anything, I started watching videos to be able to understand and it took me a long time to understand, but my biggest difficulty was not in sports betting, but in casino games. my first and only casino game that I played was the plinko game, as I wanted to try some casino game, so I chose the first game I saw, which in this case was the plinko game. I joined the plinko game and I was wondering: how the hell am I going to play this?

I saw a lot of balls, numbers and I didn't know anything, I didn't even know how to increase the multiplier, I just clicked on the start button and watched the ball fall, but I didn't understand anything about when I would be considered the winner. and why and when and that I would lose. I just looked at the ball and saw my balance, I did this for 5 hours and even then I didn't understand anything, all I knew was to step on start, look at the ball and look at my balance, I managed to make it 3x my balance initially, but then I lost everything, that day I told myself that I would no longer play gambling games that depend on luck because I saw that the person even without knowing how the game works, spends hours playing and will lose everything because there is no strategy in those games, everything depends on luck there, so for me it was just playing in that one and I gave up

Trial and errors approach of course but we cant really be able to avoid on not to peek into those other sources if you have plans on trying out to learn up something on which we know that
everything could really be known and could really be that obtain when you do tend to make out some research but ofcourse it would really be just that depending into your effort
on which not all would really be that mindful when it comes into this manner. Sports betting or casino gambling then it would really be just that your own choice on which one you would really be dealing off with. We do know that each person would really be having that different approach when it comes to things on which there are ones who do really love sports betting and there are
ones who do love on dealing with casino games.

Are you referring to the frequency with which a player plays? Personally, I have always seen many ways to do things well, for sports bets, with the way of playing a game in a casino, it is known that we must be very careful, we cannot invent doing things that have to do with betting a lot and qeudanors without money, for me the first thing every player should do before playing is what I have always proclaimed here in the forum, have a budget willing to lose, but why lose? and not to win? because we have seen on many occasions that there are many players, especially players who are naughty and do not have any type of experience, who go to a casino with high amounts of money, thinking that it is worth multiplying those amounts by 2 or 3 or 4 There may be a very big mistake, because we are the people who must be clear that things should not be Done that way , things in the casino must be seen from the point of view closest to realizing that the casino is a place where you have the house advantage.

When a player Realizes this and Understands that his chances of Winning in a casino are those that should be taken Advantage of and withdrawn, then I believe that a player is mature when he knows that his chances are those, then only that is when a player You know what you are doing , you Know that the casino system is not a gift, nor is it an NGO. Nor does the casino have the responsibility to give you funding, and that is what Happens to most Novice players , it is a very big mistake. common and that is always seen , so what I find a challenge is that sports bets Differ from casino games , Which is debatable other than saying that in the long Term making sports bets one can come out with profit, and in a casino things are different, because the Advantage of chaos is always greater.

I think that one of the most common problems that new gamblers face is that they “invent” Martingale. This strategy is simple, intuitive and seems obviously winning (although it is losing), so those who do not understand the issue like to use it. I started with this too 
Naturally, after a series of wins, I received a big loss and ended it there. Thank God I was smart enough not to continue playing mindlessly but to study the mathematics of the question (now it looks simple, but in those days I didn’t even have access to the Internet since it was not yet widespread). I think it’s much easier for modern beginners in gambling because a single information space allows you to quickly learn about your mistakes and understand them.

Yes, I found the casino site by accident and played the games too randomly so I could only try pressing from the link on the game. Yes, it was a trial because I didn't really know the game but it was a lot of fun because I was able to discover a lot of things in the casino. I often played the Dice game before slots were famous or didn't even exist and Dice was a popular game in its time. Even though Dice is probably the one I play most often, I never get bored. However, because there were slot games after that, I switched to slot games. I think all gambling games are interesting to try, but what we have to remember is that we have to be careful in allocating funds for gambling.

It is very difficult to win both Dice and slot games because you are right that these games are purely random. We can only hope that luck will come beside us to help us win. But if we are unlucky, we should not try to recover the loss because it can cost a lot of money.

I will talk about sports betting because it was one of my first experiences in gambling as a hobby. I remember that I registered an account on the famous Planetwin365 website and I thought that I would find the basic win / draw / loss options, but I was surprised by the huge number of options available. For a long time I could not understand what handicap meant since the site was only available in foreign languages and there was no one to help me understand. I can confirm that I was among the few in my city who used that site.

The other problem I faced was the method of calculating the bonus because the site’s algorithm was very complex and I had to spend a long time practicing before I understood all the details.

Honestly the biggest aspect that was a challenge for me was how to fund the account, and how bitcoin came in and changed the game when it comes to how you do so.  But to answer your questions, I think just learning the basic principals of what covering the spread meant, what the over/under line was, as well as learning about how the money line worked.  It really didn't take much time to learn and I was on my way.

It's the different types of handicaps and also over/under that posed a little challenge to me. It's basically searching and reading articles on the internet then testing them out to the sports books. The bet builder also had me spent a bit of time learning.

It is mostly in the betting side of things. At first, I don't understand how a parlay works. I know that it multiplies the odds of the games you add to it, but didn't know that you can't put two different betting lines of the same game as bets. It took me a while to figure it out, and I mostly got the answers here on bitcointalk upon reading some of the users' inputs on parlays and betting in general. It has been my favorite type of bet ever since, and I've been trying to add more to the legs of my bet and see how far can I go with parlays.

Starting from someone's YouTube video where he won playing gambling, I was interested in trying it. At that time I preferred playing poker against other players, but after getting to know other casino games such as dice and limbo, I played it just to fill my free time, because usually I playing casino gambling just to wait for the football event to start. I have enjoyed gambling on sports betting for a long time.

So I stick to my main gambling which is sports betting from offline to online, so I find more games in some time and we know that every casino always provides many games from time to time just to entertain their many gamblers, but games that are not I've never been touched to play slot games, because I'm more interested in games full of strategy than full luck like slots. 

The thing I struggled most was Texas Holdem Poker. We have local versions of that poker and the rules are slightly different and when there's a competitor who is better informed than yourself, you stand no chance in poker. For other sports you can try and learn and for most it's just about luck but with poker and multiple people in the table, there are luck, strategies and reading and playing with competitors mind is very important.
For learning it, I searched on google and read the top suggested sites and wikipedia articles as I wanted to learn specific things quickly. Video are more fun and passive way to learn. Not suitable when you want to learn something quickly.

You mean you found it unexpectedly? Because when you say through trial and error, then you really have an intention or strong desire to learn it. You might be one of the OG's in the crypto gambling scene, because Dice was your first game. That is because gambling providers are not a thing yet on the past and then almost all crypto betting sites only has one game on them, and that is again, Dice. What you did is right of not wasting your time on Youtube looking for Dice videos, as all of them are just click baits and composed of referral links.

There is really no definite way on how to win in Dice since the game is purely random. We all rarely win in gambling. And spending more time on it won't make any big differences, but it can actually only make you lose more.

When I started with sports betting, I didn't know anything about over and under goals and about Asian handcap, so all I would do was just bet on the team that would win, after a long time I started researching about over and under and the Asian market and I saw that I could have had better results if I had analyzed the game and bet on the market that was more advantageous, because what I was doing was just analyzing which team was stronger than the other and which one would win. but I also didn't focus on analyzing how many goals each team conceded and how many goals each team managed to score, it's funny that at that time even when I researched the over and under and the Asian handcap

when I made an over or under bet, I lost a lot because I had problems being able to differentiate what was over 2.5 or over 3.5, I always forgot how many goals I had to score, I had to learn from experience, every time I did I lost my bet, then I memorized it and in the next game I already knew how to do it and didn't make the same mistakes. Today I even laugh every time I see the over and under goals market and the Asian handcap market. sports betting has a lot in just one game, I confess that the corners and cards market are the ones that gave me the most headaches and losses, it took me a long time to understand and betting on that card market is not easy

When there is something that I don't know, the internet is accessible, and can visit any website to know what are those challenges that I've met. But there's none that I need to.

Me either. That's why even before the need to search them through the web. When I have also read the comments of the other members here, that's making me understand something too quick. But any resource is valid to determine the answer that you're looking for. A lot of information can easily be accessed and used as long as they're on the free public and that's why it's like a library of gambling terms and rules with a few keywords and they'll appear as results.

For me slots actually pose a challenge to understand but I don't think it's just me being inexperienced with them.

I hear terms like RTP and multiplier and have to think that these mean very little when the slot game doesn't ever tell you your win chances, or the possibilities of hitting certain multipliers that are advertised. The term volatility is also thrown in there to make things even more confusing and less transparent. I can't help but wonder if all this opaqueness is there on purpose of if I would be the only one caring when it comes to slots.

For these reasons I struggle to feel comfortable playing slots.

It was the false belief I had that profit could be easily made and built within time through betting on the favorite teams or athletes in a frequent basis. I remember placing bets on tennis' players who had really low odds, but were certain to win. However, as soon as the results came out, I had lost the bets and couldn't understand the reason why, since they were "safe bets"...

Reading comments on the internet, and especially on this forum, took me to the conclusion I couldn't easily win on long run, although there were also many posts on this forum from gamblers who advised sports betting as a consistent method of gambling that could guarantee profitability along the time, unlike traditional casino's games. So, I guess trial and error was also necessary on the learnship process, because if I only took third party opinions into consideration, I would be really in doubt about who was right and wrong. I had to try by myself.

It was a slot game that I didn't understand when I started playing slots. I still don't know slot games, but after seeing how to play them via videos on YouTube or those shared by friends here, I finally understood and started to get to know them better. Slot games are not difficult and are actually very easy to play. But what you have to be careful of is that slot games can make someone forget their time and money because there are many challenges. What this means is that we often experience loss when playing slots, so this will make us curious about why we never win. And finally, we will deposit some money to try it again and again. That's what happened to me when I started playing slots, and it was a bad memory because I lost a lot of money at that time.

To be honest, at first I didn't understand what casino games and sports betting were. At first I found out about it from my friend who happened to be active in gambling and I was told about gambling and how to play it. Sometimes I also watched YouTube videos to be able to use it with certain patterns and I started I make bets with small amounts and sometimes I take bigger risks when I continue to make bets that are initially small. Over time I dare to bet large amounts.
In casinos there are many types of games and I have tried many of them to get bonuses and luck and luckily I can control myself even though inside I still want to continue gambling but I can still stop at any time.

And talking about sports betting, initially I was told by my friend about the greater chance of luck compared to other casino games and at first I didn't really understand what odds were and it turns out that odds are the profits that we will get, where small odds mean the chance of winning big and big odds mean the chance of winning is small, initially I tried sports betting on football and making a single bet but it turned out the profit was very small and my friend told me about multi betting where at first I didn't understand it turned out the type of bet was made into 1 and all predictions had to be correct if there were any. one wrong would mean my bet would be lost.

This was my initial challenge in getting to know gambling and now I can understand it

^{-/First of all, let these types of "questions" grow, which in reality are "#TBT/4" but at least seek a different discussion of most OP's timeline on gambling./-}

OP, it is a little of everything you mention, at least in my case, and in that learning one cannot combine sports betting with casino betting, they are two different ways of experience and learning, each one of them.

In casinos something that I learned to "master" was the bonus rollover, there are bonuses that you have to let go of, short story end.

In sports betting I learned about the overround, When you understand it,  you're known that winning money on a sports bet can only mean that you are still losing money...

Hehehe, it's good to know that other people also started out in the same way as me 
After all, there are so many options, so many different words that only gamblers are used to. Nowadays there are lots of tutorials and videos teaching, but a few years ago information was scarcer



Another very important feature that some casinos have is that you can play without betting, just to learn or for fun if you prefer. But it's an excellent way of learning exactly what's going on without having to risk your money.
It's exactly what you said, learning by doing and not only watching or reading.

Some things are not so intuitive and need more explanation
Let me give you another example that I had trouble understanding: Asian lines and the 0.25, 0.5 bets
When I first saw it in the bookmaker's I had no idea what it was about, I had to read and re-read the explanations to understand it and in what situations it might be a good bet.

It was the accepted fact from my point of view,because the gamblers who was well at the prediction can make the big money in the casino.But the sports betting was also influenced by the rumours spread before the match day about the certain players,this may leads to the full loss in the sports betting.The gamblers who ready to take risk in the gambling site alone had a potential to make money in the gambling sites.Because the gambling was based on the risk and luck.The gamblers should avoid of greedy and the emotions in the gambling to make the money in the gambling sites.If the gamblers follow the rules of greedy and emotions leads to loss.

maybe I understand casino games better since I first played several types of casino bets with my own experience but the only challenge was sports betting and at first I did not know what odds were and where I would bet and many more but I wasn't discouraged and I have a great curiosity nature without having to involve other people or try to bet randomly on small amounts to understand what odds are and what handicaps are etc.
until finally I tried searching on a search engine to see what I did not know and finally I understood better and to this day I still bet on sports betting because its like challenging the pride of being able to win with a high odds parlay bet.

Sports betting is definitely fun but if you are a newbie who is new to this space, then it is recommended that he/she watches videos available on YouTube for proper guidance.

Though this also may be the case, I also recommend playing with friends (if you have any) or join groups from social media platforms that offer help/guidance. Just be wary on the latter as there are a rampant of scammers that can take advantage of your situation as a beginner.

Lastly, I also recommend that you watch gambling streamers as they can provide insights and guidance on your desired game. Also, you can visit the ANN Thread of a certain gambling casino website in this forum as some offer free spins/games for proper explanation as a whole.

Player props.
How I understood it? Thanks to the members of this forum. I always read what bets they share and sometimes I tail them. When I finally got the hang of it, that's when I tried to do it myself. But still, I wouldn't be here if not for them that's why I do appreciate everyone who tries to share their picks because I know they don't just do it blindly. There is research made, history basis, and stuff like how a player performed on his last 5-10 games, or if he is better playing against a certain team because those are the necessary information to increase the chance to win a player prop.

The hard part will always be the start but once you memorize every player and you know how they perform, you might not even need the stats that is being posted on the internet. I've been a basketball fan my entire life but I never cared about stats before until gambling was added to it. That's when I realized I could also make money by guessing how the players would perform in one game and it's actually fun.

I found out through a trial and error approach because I had no intention of learning what sports betting or casino gambling was. I just registered because I was curious. I looked at the contents and chose the gambling game. And dice is a game I used to play for a while. I also don't look for videos on YouTube about how to play dice or what strategies can help me win. But finally, I found out by trying to place bets on dice, sports betting and slots. Everything provides a challenge for me because I rarely win so I spend more time playing gambling games.

To know and understand something, you have to dive straight into the game. It's useless if you just watch the video or get an explanation in the article to know something if you never try it yourself. If you read the explanations in the FAQ, that is enough that make you understand, just sharper it into the game then you will find out the obstacles and what is best to do in the next game. Sometimes, the YouTube video is not real or live with reality, so it looks perfect and in accordance with the way. But, if you follow step by step the same with the video, the results you get don't match with what's in the video show.

i have the same sentiments on that particular aspect. sometimes it is easier to bet on that money line. you can also check other betting lines for a specific game and you will find out that you have better chance of winning. it doesn't mean you always need to bet whose gonna win or lose, there are several betting lines in each game that i think you can be more comfortable placing your bets with and should i say, better chances of winning. just like with basketball. for each game, you have so many betting lines that you can check out of -over/under, handicap, winning margin, among others. and the odds are actually good in some of these lines. i guess, some sportsbettors are taking advantage of these betting lines.

I later found out that the difficulty I had was not a difficulty. I was first confused with the 1 & 2 allocated to the home and away team to signify the team that would win. It was hard understanding, but later after consulting an older gambler that was friends with I was able to understand. Some people were able to figure sports betting on their own and to other this was not their problems, but to me it was my major problem.

If I still remember correctly, I have always had issues choosing which team to win a particular match. Even till this moment, I still don't feel comfortable playing direct wins because the odd for the favourite team is always small even when the risk is very high. Just a single red card can turn the entire game against the big side such that they will be fighting for a draw instead of winning.

Consequently,  I usually go for goals which I consider easier to predict. From a team recent history, one could easily know teams that will score and those that also concede goals. This gives me peace and makes me win often than other methods.

If there is a challenge in sports betting, maybe the way you bet You see, I started gambling without any knowledge or idea about the games, including sports betting, so at first I didn't know how to navigate the platform, how to bet, what a multiplier is, odds stuff like that, and I'm sure that is also the challenge for most of us. How do I learn it? Of course, through the internet. Today, it's easy to ask anything on the internet; simply search and you will see all the results. Also, through videos on YouTube, even if I change the platform where I bet, with a few adjustments, I can adapt to the platform, and navigating to the platform will be an easy thing. Maybe another aspect that poses a challenge in sports betting is how I can control my spending. The thing is, at first, when I discover sports betting, I become quite become addicted, but in the long run, I am able to control the urge.

When I started sports betting, I only knew to bet on the ML. I'm not that familiar with the handicap bets or any bet builder that time. So yeah, it took sometime to understand it. My approach though is to really bet on them handicap line +/- and see how my bet is and how I'm going to win.

Never watch any video or join any sports betting community. I was want to discover it myself even if it means losing a couple of dollars here and there. At least getting the first hand experience will teach you a valuable lesson in sports betting.

As for luck base games like slots, it's not that hard and complicated in the beginning and everyone can grasp it easily.

The idea of fixed matches and cheating I guess and its outcome. Well this is because of negative impressions as well to some sports association and leagues. Losing bet is a normal and acceptable outcome but if it is due to fixed matches without my awareness, then it would be hard to accept a single one. It'll probably question me with regrets. Fortunately, I haven't encountered one yet. The only challenge I experienced is delay and holding of funds to some gambling sites which are somehow bearable and understood.I hope there is always room for improvements in this field in general to lessen the worries of some gamblers.

Sports betting which is a challenging aspect of gambling and this is also the first experience...

I used to be confused about how to place sports bets with so many choices of odds, it actually didn't become difficult because there were many ways to explain it. I saw from Youtube and several articles about odds but now I understand how all sports bets.

If the casino may be too common and easy to understand, we just choose slots or other types of games then you can bet directly.

The aspect that posed as a problem to me in sport betting was the sport itself, not until I started gambling I wasn’t a sport freak - I rarely watched football matches but when I started gambling I started with slots and also relied heavily on one of my friend’s predictions but eventually I became good at sports and started to make some good predictions for myself.

That above was the major challenge I face, I could also add understanding the interface of the casino that I was using… the first one I used was a bit difficult for me to understand since I was still learning about sports, what I’m allowed to bet on, things that are not allowed in betting, and so on… there are still some certain games that I’ve never placed a bet on since I started gambling although I have heard people discussing about it but I’ve never been curios enough to check it out.

It was pretty much the same in 2016, with the main difference being that dice was the king. There was much less slots, no crash or things like that, just dice everywhere with a bit of roulette, poker and BJ here and there.

I did everything by myself and haven't watched any tutorials when I first started to play. I did it the safe way though. My first online gambling experience was through bitcointalk where casinos were giving free money to try out their games. I also took advantage of free rolls and played with virtual money to see how it all works. It didn't take much time before I got a grasp of how it all works.

Understanding the odds, since its not just a simple bet on those who will win, you still need to analyze so you can know where to bet properly. Sports betting is not that simple at first but the moment you understand its concept and how it works, I’m sure you can easily do it the next time you place a bet. Initial challenge also is looking for the best betting site, you have to search for the best and choose the best platform for your betting activities.

Most of the mechanics of the casino game and sports betting is pretty straightforward nowadays but the one thing that makes me confused before is the US format for the odds on sports betting which is in the form of positive and negative numbers and not in decimal format. Until now I’m still confused on how to understand the payout because I’m used to decimal format.

Same with Blackjack game which I don’t know how to play properly on when to hit and stand because I just play it without reading the mechanics of the game fully.

Playing slots has always been a challenge, tried it with my girlfriend and figured she is quite good in slot games. Her numerous wins in demo modes, helped me to try out slot games. Although in different forms, not exactly the one she played. Moving further, I read a book on slot games, and how slot machines can be manipulated to eat up the gambler's money without returning any win, how gamblers can take advantage of a bad slot machine and the house edge. These factors helped to reduce the challenges I had in gambling. Never was good in sports gambling, due to the odds. And I prefer watching matches with a free mind.

While trying to master Roulette games, choosing the right number indeed posed a threat to me, I normally skipped them and went for a slot with a higher winning chance. Picking the red and black sides of the table helped me to stay winning in roulette games. Card games like Joker posed a threat because I feel people at the same table as me play better than myself. But, sooner I started winning, even to the championship stage, where I'd have to compete with the last man standing in the tournament. At the initial stage, every single game, normally, posed a threat, but continuing and trying again helped us to pose a threat to the game. While we try again, we must be conscious of our money or bankroll.

Many actually but eventually, I just observe the others on how they explained it when I have some words that I don't understand and then later on I do my research about it to see what it is all about.

Although those things are just trivial things in sports betting like the terms such as parlay, etc. You know, most of those words that are not easily understood by a newbie.

Anyway, if there are challenges, questions or words that we don't know. We're just a few clicks and types away from doing it to find out the answer if there's no answer from the casino you're playing with.

I think gambling is not just what some wake up to start doing; either you just pay attention to see how other gamblers are doing and pick up from there, or if you have a friend who is a gambler, you can get them to explain things for you.

For me, the first sports bet I placed was not predicted by me, and I don't think I won that bet. The second time I got help, and so on, but along the line, I just keep learning how to make my own predictions, and it did not take very long, like up to two weeks, before I understood how to make my own predictions.

Casino was my favourite game,because we can predict the outcome of the casino using the possibility.But the game in the sports bet can’t be find for the Eighty percentage of chance of not winning the sports betting.Because the player performance can’t be predicted in the particular days,So many of my friends also using the casino game like poker then the football game betting.At my first gambling was starts in the sports betting,because of less winning chances and loss of money in the sports betting in the larger some money.I had decided to do the casino games which now giving me good returns.

I don't gamble but the first aspect of sport betting that drew my attention - and at some point, I started seeing it as an opportunity for regular gamblers to keep their stability is the "draw" options...halftime draws, quatertime draws, 10, 15 and 20 minutes draws...I also fancied the overconers too but after sometime, I realized that most of the options that are most probably gonna play won't be included ...

well... For sports betting, it might not actually be the case anyways..

Hello mate take it from me you were not alone in this, we were all together but different geography . You would find it hard to believe that I concentrated on straight win, draws  in the first six months of my sports bet gambling, at most I could go was both team score  (GG). And it went on like this not until a friend saw my ticket and ask why I didn't play other better options, due to my ego of not letting him know I was yet to understand about those other options  I had to tell him I prefer these options and am sure of my predictions.  This mainly was the reason I made a lot of losses in my first phase of starting sport bet gambling so I couldn't help it and decided to be open to my friend and he started putting me through on many options and their meanings. Today I am masterpiece with different options.
@rdluffy, There's no need to be ashamed, anyone can laugh if they want to, one thing for sure is that we were all beginners at different point.

The only thing that I had a hard time was on my beginning trying to figure out Asian lines and Asian handicap in soccer betting and then the Overtime in Basketball,Baseball and Ice Hockey but this was easily figured out once some time passed,in the beginning I had this difficulty.

Also when I switched to online slots from offline ones I had difficulties to understand the bonus rounds or some game mechanics as I was rushing to win money and never taking time to read the instructions,once I started reading the instructions everything was clear so in the end only in the beginning people may have some challenges.

Since I first began playing games like dices, mines and then eventually tried plinko and crash, one of the first things I did not understand was how it was possible to adjust the multiplier by our own so we would go for small and safer multipliers. I was a newbie and I thought I was possible to beat the house/casino by going by rolling multiple dices at x1,01 until reaching a significant sum of money. Though, I took me a while and trial and error to realize that the risk will be always proportional to the reward one is trying to get out the session.

I only took some sessions of a couple of hours before I lost my wager to that strategy, since then I have tried to limit myself to use such approach for entertainment purposes and never to assume I will get lucky enough to defeat the mathematical law of chances by playing the safest as possible.  

I know it sounds dumb and something anyone here takes as obvious knowledge. It was several years ago when I realized it.

when you begin to find ways to win, you will also search or ask the sports community. i joined a sports community where i am also actively participating in that community.  like every other community there are lots of channels where users discuss matches and from there i learn who they are betting on and just trial and error after learning.

whether i win or not i will still be watching the sports that i like anyway so with the bet slips they share, i started copying.

Lose around 1-2 ETH playing house-game.

While I don't understand anything about original-games from casino ~XD IMO, most people are gonna to watch youtube for their gambling activity. At least learn something from there rather than ask some question.

Because is to long wait some answer, meanwhile you can playing + watching tutorial at the same time on youtube.

Gambling is fun. There are varieties of games in casinos and sport that you can choose from. In casinos, you can first go for fun or demo mode before playing at all with money. But sometimes, I can gamble with friends, but that is just for fun and nothing more, no friend has taught me how to play a game and I have not taught any friend before about how to play a game. Sport betting is also simple.

I have not found any aspect of sport betting challenging. I have already accepted that it is very unpredictable and the best I can do is make a calculated guess based on the information available to me and hope for a positive outcome.

Some gambling websites are more difficult to find your way around than others. I stick to those with clear navigation and more game options to choose from. More generous odds also play a role.

I'm going to talk about sports betting, which is where I started a few years ago
My biggest difficulty was understanding the types of bets that existed beyond the basic: win / draw / loss

I didn't know what a handicap was (yes, you can laugh but when I started, I didn't have anyone to explain it to me), I didn't know what a multiple bet was and all those bets beyond the basics were a lot of information for me who was just starting out.
If anyone else has had this problem, I'll find out in this thread hehe

Also, I had a hard time understanding the "provable fair" of the casinos

The third and last thing I had trouble with was understanding the bonus rules of most casinos correctly, and I think a lot of people suffered from this too, because to this day I see people complaining about it
I found it difficult to understand all the rules about depositing, earning bonuses and having to meet some requirements in order to withdraw

Today I'm used to it and it's easy, but at first it was a lot of information to understand, and the way I learned was through trial and error, since I started betting before I even got to know this forum, so I didn't have and/or didn't know any other place to ask these questions, and on YouTube there wasn't enough content for these doubts

What aspect of sports betting or casino gambling posed an initial challenge for you when you first started, but which you eventually grasped? How did you finally understand it. Did a friend explain it, did you watch a YouTube video, participate in a sports betting community on social media, or did you figure it out through a trial-and-error approach?
