My earliest gambling story was many years ago I think I was 20 years old. I traveled from the countryside to the city to visit my uncle.
It was on a Friday and he wanted to show me around town,we visited some very nice places, and then ended up at a pub with a slot machine. Prior to this time I had only seen slot machines in the television but seeing it in real life made me curious and I wanted to try it out.
 We talked to the attendant and I play the slot all I can remember was winning about $10. It didn't matter what mattered was that I had satisfied my curiosity. I would later go on to seek out stores with slot machines when I got on campus as an undergraduate student.

I can't really remember well what my age was at that time, but my first ever gamble was in a carnival (except for those friendly betting games in school when we were children). I remember playing the color cube game, in which you need to bet on a certain color, and if those color cubes are the same color you bet on, you will double your money. It was fun at first as I was winning, but later on I lost. It was so addicting to me that every after school I would go there to gamble. After a few weeks, they are gone as they need to transfer to another place, which forced me to stop playing.
I laughed when I read about your initial experience of getting to know about gambling because it was the same as me who first started getting to know about gambling when I was still in school and it was not appropriate to gamble.
However, because of an invitation from some of my friends to join and watch them play gambling, I became curious so I tried to do it too.
From there I started to like gambling and over time there were more and more types of gambling that I knew about until I tried them all.
However, at that time gambling was still face-to-face. I and some friends were not familiar with online gambling platforms and we kept playing until we got to know online gambling and were really addicted to playing online gambling until now.

What's a good gambling story that you'd like to share? Hit the comments section! Thanks guys.

Don't really remember old stories about good experiences in gambling, but I will tell you the latest, namely in December when I can get quite positive results several times in slot games and from sportbetting, the initial goal is just to get a Christmas giveaway but can get more but of course things like this will not always be obtained because gambling will always be about winning or losing

Gambling you mean either physical casino or online right because I don't have any experience yet when it comes to a casino because there's no nearby casino in our place that's why whenever I'm gambling, I'm doing it online.

Well, my earliest gambling story was way back when I'm still at the primary level. In the months of March to May, a group of people are coming into our town and building these small gambling places (don't know the correct term for it TBH) where you will pick where the ball will land and if you guessed it correctly, you win. That's a form of gambling still right? Cheesy. Anyway, at that time, I was addicted at that game to the point where I'm getting all of my saved money just to have money to be used to play or gamble at that time. What's the ending? I lost all of them but hey, I'm still at primary level at that time so I didn't feel disappointed or any bad feelings.

I just wish that this year, I can experience going into a real casino but when I will go there, I will not get too much money because I knew how they can manipulate you to spend more money.

I gambled for the first time when we were playing arcade games with friends. We used to go to arcade together and we all had a limited number of coins to play so we'd gamble witch each other by betting on games and certain players. We'd play mortal kombat and each person would bet a coin on themselves so that if they won they'd be able to play for free by getting the opponent's coin. If they won again they'd stay in the match and get another coin and be able to play another free game and so on. It was harmless gambling.

My first gambling story was playing cards which is pretty normal in my country especially during the funeral wake.
You'll see a lot of minors here playing with cards and the Bingo, this has been part of our culture and I guess many started their gambling journey with this as well  without realizing the possible risk of getting exposed that early. I can say that I still manage to control myself and be more responsible, gambling is fund if you are playing with your friends but more risky if you do this alone without any control.

I'll tell you mine. I was 16 on a Royal Caribbean cruise with my parents. I took $10 from dads wallet and went out on the town  Wink I stopped into the casino on deck, worked that $10 in to a $20 in the coin machine. Then I went to the roulette table and doubled my money 3 times and got up to $160, then I bet it all on black and lost it all! Or wait, was it red? Oh I don't remember hahah. They did come around and bring me plenty of drinks. Luckily I looked old enough to be in there, was even 6 feet tall back then, athletic, football player. I made the cut. Fun times! Learned a very valuable lesson there though. This is why I don't gamble. What's a good gambling story that you'd like to share? Hit the comments section! Thanks guys.

Hmm i don't know if this one can be counted. My first gambling experience was last 2018 if I am not mistaken, that time i only saw one of my friend's post showing his bets and the amount he was able to obtain in gambling by just using this script and pattern in dice game in bitsler, I really don't want gambling but then it makes me like it not because his tricks are proven correct which is not but because I can feel being thrilled and makes me feel nervous in every bets that i am making that time.

    -   It's a pity, it should be a win but you don't stop because you're terrified of thinking that luck won't go away from you, so luck didn't agree with you but bad luck agreed with you hehe...

Next time, op, don't allow greed in your mind, and don't let your emotions get too much. When you see that you have won 1000 with your small capital, stop immediately, just like what the others did with discipline.

Yeah, should have been a big win and taken the chips, but I was young and stupid and didn't know that my luck would run out as I was so inexperienced and it was my first time. I was on a hot streak with doubling my money and I remember thinking after I lost it all in one foul sweep that I should have stuck to the $40 bets after I got to the $160 range to have more chances to increase the money. Hindsight is always 2020! But even though I lost, I really only lost the $10 I initially took from my dad's wallet. I'm sure he would get a kick out of this story, i've never told him but now plan on it. I also still owe him $10 hahahah The first doubling from the $10 to $20 was the most fun part for me though. It was one of those coin machines that you drop the coin in and there is this moving horizontal bar that moves back and forth pushing the coins up and they fall over into a bed and you try to move the coins in such a way to win the cash prize that's sitting on top of all those coins. Hopefully you know what i'm talking about that, I want to find another one of those machines that was so much fun haha

See that's just it, it was greed that ultimately won that day. But not winning the money actually saved me a lot because to this day I have not ever had a problem with gambling, nor have I sought out to go and gamble at a casino. Maybe here or there once in a blue moon I'd buy a $1 or $2 scratch off ticket, or drop a few bucks in a slot machine in an airport or something. Really the only gambling I do now is with Fantasy football but even that is no more than $100 a year.

I was working as an apprentice in an electrical workshop and I was given a few bucks by our boss for my lunch. I saw a man holding a slip of paper and was discussing it with our foreman. When I got close they were discussing about a gambling number that was a sure game. I picked interest and told them that I was interested. Then there was nothing like online gambling because all of them were physical. He gave us the numbers and our foreman appreciated the man with some money. He rushed to the gambling house and stacked the money from both of us. I returned to the workshop and started planning what I will do with my wins because the man strongly assured us that the games would definitely play. After a few days, I ran to the game house only to discover that we had all lost the bet. The foreman was so angry because he staked with a large sum of money, while I was not happy because I went home hungry that day.,

Yeah, same here! It was back in my high school days too. A bunch of my friends started placing bets at sportsbooks on their commute to and from school. And, when all my friends were doing it, I felt like I had to join in. It's pretty funny to think about it now, but at the time, there wasn't even a law in place in my country to prevent underage gambling. Times have definitely changed!

We were just playing for fun, you know, just to pass the time. But then one day, I started losing more than I could afford. It was a wake-up call for me and I realized that gambling with real money wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. But hey, it was a good lesson learned and now I just stick to playing for fun.

I started gambling when I was in the university in sportbook,I had this friend in my faculty that gets his result from his friends at home. He will come to my house and say that he has a good game to play and that if am interested,he will help me out with the game. I don't believe him at first but after two games which he won,I was like wow,this guy must be a genius. I started giving him money to stake for me on his predictions,because I thought it is a good means for me to make extra pocket money. As for card playing,I started it with my course mates,anytime we are bored but to make it more lively and interesting we decided to stake with something little.

Being a beginner when we all started from the compound yard within the neighborhood playing together with friends on games like seek and hide, we begin to advance to see seniors betting and they advance to gambling which eventually involved using their money  while we still exchange our own playing materials for the local child play home gambling we practice, then as time goes we also begin to see how the real time gambling is abd begin to go to the gambling casino shops to watch sports and men gambling which is now what we turned to be as professional gamblers today.

At least you got the drinks  Wink

I haven't really visited a physical casino yet but I do plan to visit one to get the feel of it.
I do online gambling and I don't even remember how I started it. I guess it was on freebitco.in where I earned some free sats and played multiply BTC high low game.
Then I started playing crash game on one of the most popular crash game site back then.
I don't remember the name now but I gambled a lot on the crash games. Thats how it all began.

I was not comfortable playing with friends as they bet on their own money against themselves which should be where my gambling story should began, but I do not like betting with friends because I do not want to win their own money and I do not want them to win my money, because of that I was not gambling when I was under age, my friends gambled in high school and we were not adults at the time, but I like being with them. My gambling story begin in February 2014, I went to ATM machine to fund my betting account that I just registered, it was a local betting site, I gambled without having much experience or knowledge about football and I won the money, this makes me to gamble more and I later lost all the money.

I was still young, 14 maybe, or 15 years old. My eyes are already wide open about card gambling with my friends and relatives but the stakes are only for small amounts. Coins, usually.
My biggest bet though was also a card game but using a different type of card, the Spanish one. Here in the Philippines we traditionally put a gambling game during the wake of a dead relative to get donations from the profits of the game itself or from the people playing it.
The simple rule is placing your bet on a card that you think will come out first in pairs. You get x18 if you hit it right.
I am winning already with what I think is "beginner's luck" and after I claim my prize, I bought beers for me and my friend, then I let him handle the betting.
It continued for like 5 streaks until we found ourselves losing 5 more. That's when we stopped knowing we are already in profit and could just share the prize. The beers continued until we got drunk.

My earliest real-life gambling was I was around high school. I used to play computer games and have people come over and play with us, and it's a betting match in which youwillo win the pot if you win BO3. If you are playing around with money, that's considered gambling already, so that's what I have for the earliest gambling story.

Some of which as well are made in a carnival; I enjoyed playing dice games back then. Now it's fully online.

My early history of gambling was playing cards when I was a teenager, and at first I was just a spectator and some of the people who played it were my friends and there were also my parents. And finally I had the desire to be able and taught by my friends and finally I played, at first I didn't know much about card games and always lost playing. But strangely I always want to play until I really can and also feel the victory several times.
and card games were often played almost every night and this made me often stay up late and also steal my parents' money to be able to play, and at that time card game activities were not too dangerous and still safe or very free, but gradually became strict and not again safe and if caught by the police will be jailed. And what made me stop playing again was when the place where I was playing with my friends was on a raid, and it happened that I was not at the location, and all my friends who were at that location were taken to the police station.
and this was my first experience of gambling and after that incident I didn't gamble anymore, but over time I found another card gambling game with different friends and finally I got involved again and played every weekend and in a hidden place. And over time, I finally got to know online gambling and continued to gamble because there were many games that made me switch to online gambling and it was also very safe, comfortable and could be played anytime and anywhere.

I've probably told this a few times here tbh. It was back in my high school days, I wasn't necessarily the one that started it, I just joined the trend. Heck in the first place, I wasn't even playing with money, I just joined in for fun, we were playing a variety of card games back then like poker, blackjack, and some other local types (can't really remember what they're called). One time I got pretty much enticed to join in with money involved, I lost like $10, $15 back then, which was a lot at the time (especially if you consider how I was still a hs student). 

Wasn't really a bad experience, it was actually fun imo.
