I assume most gamblers are aware of the saying. The popular theory on beginners luck. But to some extent most people don't believe that their is such thing as beginners luck. I certainly to some extent believe on this because i experienced mine in the first time i tried dog racing in a local casino house am gambling with. I had a massive win of about of 800$ at my first stake on dog number 4 which was having a high odd for them winning and i was very happy but the cashier told me "you just had beginners luck ".
    But my second thoughts on this was that, its like a trap set for newcomers into the gambling world  ;D . Some gamblers certainly get overwhelmed by the first time win and go all in the habit of gambling.
So whats your take on this guys

I remember the first time I bet, I chose three matches or so in EPL, I won all the bets, but I just chose the club the way I like without knowing the club I go for to be good or not. It was clearly a beginner's luck.

The more I go the better I become and I know how to analyse matches very well, not knowing the more you bet the mor you will lose even if you are the best in analysing previous matches played to predict what the outcome of the next matches that would be played.

It is gambling, beginners can be lucky because experienced people can also go for the best matches and lose.

I believe in beginner's luck which comes to beginners when they are just starting to play gambling. But after playing for a long time, the beginner's luck will disappear because they will experience loss, and some even experience losing streaks.

Maybe after they get that beginner's luck, they should give up gambling for a while and not gamble. But most people who become novice gamblers instead play gambling again, which makes them experience loss at gambling. And many of them are getting used to this loss by continuing to gamble.

I do believe it does happen. Beginner's luck.
I felt this before when I was young and I was playing a game that is unknown to me with bets to be able to participate. From the start to the mid part of the game, I was always winning despite the number of choices to bet from. It goes on for like 10-15 bets, iirc, but I never got greedy into betting higher amounts until the losing part came.
I was young, and I got scared, so I stopped while I still have some profits left in my pocket.
For me, this unexpected luck is true, especially for those who have no idea what they are doing. But it doesn't mean we have to rely on it because soon it will run out.

I don't believe this.When I played the first time sport bets I lost two of them into two consecutive days and there were just like tonight Champions League games at that time.The same thing happened to me when I played slot machines for the first time,I got amazed by the graphics,sounds and special effects of the slot yet I ended up losing a big amount at that time too.The same happened again when I played roulette for the first time so for me personally there is no such thing as beginners luck in gambling,you either have good luck and bad luck and this happens any time from your beginning until actually.

Beginners luck is just a saying or maybe sometimes a method for certain casino to convince or influence newbies to play more and they want to create an impression that they can earn easy money here. But sometimes it doesn't exist on all newbies since not everyone is totally lucky about what things they do then they lose because the circumstances still the same with other experience gamblers.

For other this is just superstitious belief but there's really nothing wrong about believing on it.

I don't believe such beginner luck, it's just because you're lucky and you don't have anything to lose. The same applies for experienced gambler when they want to gamble on new casino, after few spins they're making money and they choose to cash out all of their money because they think if they continue to gamble, they will lose their profit. After all there's no such manipulation from the gambler to make you're lucky when you playing a game for the first time, as long as you're choose a reputable casino.

Beginners are very often lucky, this is a fact, and beginners are very fond of casinos and bookmakers, and there are always bonuses for them if only he would play.And then maybe he will become a regular player and in the future will bring profit to services.But of course there are also those who, having played once, take their reward and no longer return to gambling.

I think beginners' luck is much more apparent simply because no one else actually talks about people being unlucky in their first gambling games, or even if there was, they're in the absolute minority so they aren't really heard that much. On the other hand, people are much more vocal when they get lucky in their early gambling sessions/tries, so it just became that way imo. That, or I'm just bitter that I lost a couple of bucks immediately which was a lot (imo) when I first gambled.

Kidding aside though, if I were to choose between beginners luck vs superstitions, I'd probably opt to believe more in the former instead.

You can first gamble and win. You can first gamble and lose. I have friends that first gamble and lost. I still even remember a friend of mine that gambled the first time and lost and said he will not gamble again and he is not gambling again.

Making money is enjoyable for everyone, people are ready to devote time and themselves on what is giving them money, but many newbie gamblers do not know that gambling is not working like that, that it is just luck that they first have when they gamble. It will sweet them as they have the luck but later the opposite will start to occur and it may later become a bad time for them.

It seems to me that beginner's luck is nothing more than a myth, although it has a basis that implies that a beginner will not risk large sums when gambling and will rely mainly on his intuition, unlike an experienced player who is inclined to analyze the game. It is difficult to say whether the expression beginners are lucky is a kind of magnet involving an increasing number of gamblers in gambling, but considering that it has existed for several centuries, it may have previously been simply used by touts in a kind of marketing of gambling establishments.

I think this is really a trap of casinos for beginners, to make the gambler who has experienced winning come back again and again that for this gambler it is good to gamble especially if you are lucky in playing.

    In fact, I believe this because I actually experienced it. I remember the first time I played gambling here in crypto gambling, I immediately won 235$ in spite of everything that I only deposited around 30$ and I immediately withdrew what I won after a few hours of waiting, and then of experience if it's rare that I won such an amount as I won when I was a first timer.

I honestly don't know who came up with this idea that someone new to the game of chance will be lucky in their first game, I don't know how many people who entered the game of chance were lucky in their first game, but the fact is that in my case I lost money in my first 10 games i was unlucky, maybe because i'm just into sports betting, and sports betting doesn't depend on luck but depends on skill so my theory is that in my first 10 games i lost because i still had a lot to go ability

but it's strange that in my first game of plinko i won but at the end of the day all my wins were reduced to losses and to be honest i got really annoyed with the way i lost and stopped playing those casino games that depend on luck

then I tried to try card games, since card games depend on skill so I saw a good chance, and by some luck I won the first few games, but in the end I also lost and also stopped playing cards, I don't even want to hear anything about letters

I think I agree with the second thought that maybe this is a trap for newcomers to the world of gambling so that when they win, they will think that their luck is good and they can play longer. And this makes them continue the game and place bets, maybe higher than before but in the end, they lose. And this makes them curious and wants to try it again another time and over and over again.

But not all beginners can get their first lucky break because there are bound to be those who experience defeat in the early moments when they play gambling. And that makes them curious about why they still lose and want to try to win like everyone else.

It happens but not to everyone. Others find it just a superstitious belief especially if they are losing and those who wins will believe in it and have a memorable story to share.
In online gambling, this doesn't really work. New accounts don't have the higher opportunity to win than old ones because if that is the case it will be prone to abuse. They will just have to create another new account over and over until they deplete the resources of the gambling site. What is provably fair to new ones will also be the same with the veterans. There's no magic in it or the business itself can be sued for altering the system.

Beginner's luck is just a fallacy. It depends if you're just lucky that day or such. For sure we know someone who just started but did not win on his/her first try. This is because there's no pattern or certainty in gambling. Well, in some fields of it such as with sportsbetting, a player could lessen the risk of losing through detailed analysis of the players or team but still, that won't guarantee a winning outcome. Some are even being able to win back their losses halfway and some are on their last bets. We just cannot predict winning which makes gambling a game of one's fate. This also supports the fact that no one should rely in this industry in terms of income and such.

The first win will be an unforgettable experience and a moment where you will believe that you will continue to be lucky.
Even though that is only the beginning and will be a trigger for you to gamble again with the winning money.
Luck is not just for beginners, but luck is random for anyone. If we do gambling in an online casino, then beginner's luck has been set in the online casino system to take advantage of the psychology of beginners to put in larger amounts of money. Make a winner at the beginning of the game, and when they have made many deposits, they will lose everything or no more wins.

I don't think that beginners luck is a real thing. At least in my personal experience I didn't really notice it. Over the years I tried out many new casinos and had good and bad starts. Same goes for my friends, so far I haven't heard a story of someone winning big the first time he played at a casino. Wouldn't it be bad for the casino to have beginners luck, because then all the gamblers would disappear again after playing a few times and move to the next casino. It's probably true that beginners have more problems to try and control themselves after a win and face a bigger risk to lose it all again. Or maybe the didn't pay attention to the first deposit bonus and think the 100 or 200% they get from the casino is their profit.

Maybe it exist to some first time bettors in a certain event but I rather simply call it luck. Every gambler can get lucky regardless if it's their first time to bet or not. They probably don't call it beginner's for the experienced gamblers but surely even the professionals get those lucky breaks.

In a game that is based on luck there should be no such thing as beginner's luck because luck is something you cannot quantify or qualify. The term is used loosely to denote a new player winning big but they essentially got lucky there which might not repeat in the next game. Hence to assume that having that "beginner's luck" might allow you to win the jackpot, you would be wrong in majority of cases. The odds of winning would be the same as any other gambler in the den.

It would be rather wish to just gamble for fun and stop when losing too much.

Beginners Luck it's almost same like "NEW MEMBER" Lucky in a website.

There always have some speculation, for a new member who just register into the site they're gonna get a win. People are always thinks this one, even this speculation only a myth.

But, people still believe because some of user/people are have these experience.

It does happen to some beginners but unfortunately, I haven't had my beginner luck the first time I tried betting. I had a big loss the first time I took the risk of gambling. Maybe because I lack experience and I wasn't good at analyzing the odds.
There are lucky first-timers who had a good win right from the beginning and that could actually attract them to bet and try their luck more on gambling. It could be possible but beginners' luck isn't for everyone and there's no guarantee that all first bets could win.

Not sure sure if there is a what we call a gamblers luck, but for sure at one point in time, when we start to gamble, we had experience this kind of phenomena and yes, it really feels good to win a huge amount of money at the start and then it becomes a thing to us gamblers. We started to chase this kind of feeling again, so we gamble what we have won and later on, we lost. But still we will continue playing and then the habit has kick-off, we began to slowly become a compulsory gambler and then an addicted one.

It's just a myth and there is no way to prove it or not cause we have both extremes on the results when someone starts gambling. But in a casino most veterans when they lose to a new comer will always mouth this word to them which is most likely to break their confidence of betting for higher amount in my personal opinion.

Well, to my knowledge when I started dice I don't remember  hitting that huge luck so for me the beginner's luck didn't work though.

Even though it's a question mark, the fact that it's easier for novice gamblers to win from the casino, in my opinion, is their trick to attract new customers. Because if novice gamblers have tasted victory, this is where the tendency arises to play, play and play again which in the end often results in defeats rather than wins.
and I also felt the same way when I first started gambling and won several times, but some didn't but over time they won too. And I feel the opposite over time I often lose.

On the contrary, I don't believed in such a thing though, I have talk to a lot of gamblers and they said that they didn't have this kind of experience, that they got lucky when they start, so I guess we gamblers are somewhat had this kind of mindset and it's distorted at the very beginning.

And maybe we can just add this to gamblers superstitions or maybe gamblers fallacy.

As we can see from the response though, still mix for us.

Actually, this could be said to be just a coincidence. although, there are many stories of novice gamblers who have the same experience as you tell in this thread. I believe this is pure luck. in fact, we cannot formulate that every beginner will win the bet the first time.

To be honest, I don't really believe in it because things like this are too biased for me. moreover, we have no evidence to support the opinion or belief that novice gamblers have very high luck to win the first bet. or it could be, this is a strategy from the gambling house so that the gambler comes back another day. There is much speculation, but no definite answer. so, I consider this phenomenon to be pure luck but not for all novice gamblers.

I do believe in luck and I think the whole gambling world is based on how lucky you are. I think am among one of the lucky ones that won on their first try in gambling but mine was little profits of about 30$ but its certainty turn the case of the latter in your story. It actually became a trap for me and since then i have always wanted to be the mood i experienced when i first experience that win. That rush that passes through your body when you have actually won a bet is somewhat amazing and its really the basis for gambling with most people.
   Also i feel this beginners luck is not for everybody as its also the same with personal luck, not everyone is lucky when its comes to gambling online or in a life casino. As gambling is associated with luck also its deals with personal research made and proper statistics gather on the game before making a predictions but this applies to only sport gambling like soccer, basketball e.t.c

If you imagine that you are a casino, wanting to draw in gamblers and effectively in control of a blackbox where nobody can see the levers you're pulling, then there is definitely room for some psychological tactics to be played in order to get new players in. Casinos have some of the highest advertising costs, simply because they are money making machines and once you've got a player hooked they can easily start paying out buckets of money. Just look at all the many welcome bonuses on offer, where they give away literally $50+ guaranteed to a savvy player, simply because they know that the vast majority of people who bet will pay in much more than they will ever take out. On balance, it makes much more sense that casinos would engineer favorable conditions at the start of a gamblers journey, especially when they are willing to pay so much to acquire them.

I don't think this thing we all call beginners luck happens to everyone, because I remember the first time I gambled online I lost all my bets and I just blamed it on the fact that I haven't used any online casino before so maybe I did something wrong that led me to lose all my bets. But there's some other activities that I have participated before in the past and did well but that never happens to me in my first online gambling experience.

I don't believe that newbies have better luck or the casino uses a trap for them. Newcomers in contrast to the experienced gamblers are very excited about the first win, because they heard that winning in gambling is not easy, but as fate wills they win, and without even making any effort.

The more we play gambling, the more common for us such moments as wins and losses become, but for beginners they are very significant moments.

And I don't believe at it. Beginners luck is just the way more experienced gamblers comment on newbies who win. It comes from envy and their ignorance of the facts that despite lack of experience these people managed to win which shows that experience has very little to do with you winning.

It's all random and some beginners win while others lose but we tend to ignore the losers and saying that it's normal but when someone wins we look at them closely to find if there was a trick, or luck or whatever.

You don't believe it yet it happened to you. Well, we truly have a different sense of belief in terms of luck whether it's beginner's luck or not.
If that's what you think that it's not true and you're just having a good choice during that time, no one will argue with you that it's for real or it's not. And if you think that it's a trap, that's what I don't want to believe. We're the ones setting that belief if it's a trap or not, it's a common misconception that we're being trapped even though it's our own will and personal choice that made us to be there.

I believe the beginner's luck is real, I have seen many new users/gamblers winning huge in their first bets. And in most of the cases they didn't even know what they were doing and placed some bets on the underdog or bets with low odds, and when win they win huge amounts. And that's beginner's luck. A normal bettor will not place the kind of bets that are supposed to lose.

It is really not that surprising yet majority of us would really be calling up this way on which beginners luck is something that you do hit a win when you are just starting on gambling which is common but its true that this kind of luck will really be pushing up yourself to play even further and you would really be keeping into yourself that you would be lucky in the rest of your betting but we know on how shit the reality works.
You would soon realize for yourself thats not how it works and on the time you would be playing further then you would definitely be able to experience out the shit experience of losses when you do gamble.
You would really be learning and would be telling that it isnt really working that way.It was just coincidence that you had win earlier.

Beginners luck is not consistent with every individual, the first time experience some people had gambling was not so good while others had some luck and it originated the term beginners luck. Beginners luck can make someone want to gamble more and can also make someone not to want to gamble more since they know that they were just lucky the first time and the luck may not continue if they continue gambling, I feel it is all a matter a matter of perception and how you see the luck you just had.

You’ll here this most of the time in casinos, and even you can tell this as well. I believe on beginners luck as the casinos tend to hype you so you can come back and play more. Same thing with the site, maybe its already in the system to allow other potential player to win big at first and then later on, will incur more losses. This might be just a myth but other gamblers are believing on this and there’s nothing wrong with this one though.

There is not such a thing as beginners luck, a new gambler has the exact same chances of winning a bet as any other gambler, it is just that new gamblers not knowing much about gambling bet more money than what it should advisable on a single bet, and if they happen to win we judge this as being a form of beginners luck, but it is not, that is simply how gambling works and we are just giving it special meaning as it is the first experience of this gambler in particular.

I do believe that what we call beginners luck is nothing but a new comer with so much interest and will having to place bet and with the encouragement, wins the bet. In some cases, if the new comer were to bet again, they would loose the bet.
The game of probability can favour anyone at anytime, it doesn't matter if it is a new comer or not. People believe in what they choose to and the 'beginners luck' talk has never been left out.

Although I myself experienced beginner's luck a few times too many. I know there's no scientific basis as to how this works, or if it's even real in the first place or some sort of placebo effect we play with our brains. I do have an inference regarding this phenomenon however. I believe that for certain types of games, especially those that would at least require some sort of confidence at play to bag wins, you have this "I have nothing to lose anyway cause I'm just learning the ropes" mindset which amps your confidence and therefore your chances of winning. As for luck-based games however, I believe solidly that some casinos reel in their new customers by giving them a few wins in their first few plays to make them think that they have a considerable edge against the house, now as soon as the system detects that they have played one too many games, it starts to show true edges to give the house its profits. I do not know nor do I have any evidence to prove that these inferences are real, sadly. But that is just my two cents regarding the phenomena

That one is lucky to win in gambling on a first stake as a beginner doesn't mean there is beginner's luck in gambling. A beginner may select games randomly out of curiosity not knowing the game or the teams selected and all the selections turn out well for him that should not be seen as luck rather it should be seen as a bet won out of chance. It has happened to so many people no doubt but I have been with a lot of gamblers who are yet to win their first game since they started gambling so it happens by chance not luck.

Ofcourse no one will want to believe that there's something called the beginners luck in gambling since not every beginners got their chance of winning on the very first attempt to gambling, neither does the gambling casinos also considers the beginners specially on this, except for the newly registered user that benefit the registration bonus for free spins and the likes.


Then i will have to say this that you're very lucky on an extreme level because this is not common to every beginners to experience on their first attempt.

Well, I can't agree more with that. It's certainly is when someone who's new to gambling and managed to win for the first time of their bets. Who wouldn't even be encouraged when you just tried it out and you've been winning already? The idea will stuck on your mind that you're the luckiest person living and that's why you'll be back again soon to gamble and by the time you come back, that's where the reality will sink in that gambling isn't just all about winning with first tries but also dealing with the losses that mostly come to everyone.

And not only that, because in most casues, an experience gambler will tend to over-analyze, and at that such end up missing the golden opportunity simply because he never believe in it, unlike a newbie gambler who may pick at random for the first time and gets lucky. But not everyon always get the "beginners luck", which is why in most scenario, the best idea will be to walk away with your first winning, rather than keep playing and lose it all

When you are just starting to gamble and turns out to be a win then it would really be motivate you out on playing even more until you do bust up all of those winnings.You would really be making more deposit because

you would really be tending to chase up those losses and this is where that common cycle would be starting on where a certain individual whether they would be completely on stopping gambling to avoid further loss
or would be tending to chase up on what they had lost and would be trying out to recover those which might be ending up for them to get addicted and would cause out much more trouble later on.
This is why its really important on making yourself that fully aware on what you are dealing with and act according into your will on which one is really better.

well, people will have their own time of contemplation of what's reality when it comes to gambling. you are very lucky if you hit it big time at your first try. thinking that this may be your saviour of getting good money. but as you continue with this journey, you will soon understand the reason why a lot are going deep with debts and debts. most of the time, gamblers will have their wake up call when his loved ones are gone for good, his assets are gone and the only thing left is him, piled with debts everywhere.

Beginner's luck is common in stock trading, gambling and investment.

The first wagers and trades a person makes tend to be logical and intelligent. Translating to success.

Then greed and emotion cloud their judgement. They lower their standards and make less rational wagers and trades.

That appears to be the most common cycle for most.

Exactly.

The same as what everyone has experienced with anything that's related to betting with money. Yeah, stocks, trading and investing is almost the same as betting money because it requires risk.

The cycle is hard to beat when you're just starting around and you think that you're at the top of the world upon acquiring all of those profits and wins that you get.

Common cycle indeed and when things turns out to touch up the reality then this is where self realization do kicks in that it was never been easy.You would say that you had been lucky on the first time you had tested or tried it out.On the time that you had been making money on your first try then you would really be having that motivation and positivity that you could really do this all day and making yourself that rich in a short span of time.Its true that this is where standards would be lessen out and ending up on messing around which is really that a very  common ending.
Self realizations do always come in the end which is normal.
