Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Charles-Tim on May 18, 2025, 12:10:04 AM I have seen someone that is gifted in betting before. He will compete with people in table tennis and he always win everyone around him. Also those that are good in particular games or sport can be examples if they bet with money.
If it is gambling and betting sites, no one can win their house edge and the way they set odds which are enough to make enough money from gamblers. Some people that won huge amount of money but just at once is not because they are better than other gamblers but they are only lucky. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

My father was a big influence on why I started my gambling experience. Ever since childhood, my father and grandfather were a prominent gambling figure in the country given that they used to participate in national tournaments of cockfighting in the country. Not to mention, my grandfather even built a farm designated to raise and train chickens specifically for cockfighting. I also remember my father used to invite me and my brother to watch their fights in our national arena (which was televised). Because of these memories and experiences, this crucially played a role on my gambling activities as an adult due to the curiosity that started when I was still a kid. Though I am not as heavy as my parents are in terms of gambling, I still, from time-to-time, gamble with my own savings just to try and check my luck.

Post by: SATWAT on May 18, 2025, 12:46:24 AM My journey started while I was just 18 to 19 with near our school a person was doing sports betting stuff many peoples were taking good profit from this as cricket world cup was at his best, so I started this with my few friends in early days good profit but then suddenly all gone without any prior notice.
But job was done all were looking for another chance but things gone pretty worst after every lost good thing happen no one ever done anything wrong all keep going with small amounts few are not settled in foreign countries, but I am still on my place with my stuff and latest technology because now I can do this through internet without any problem and Bitcoin give better security and independence which were not before this many problems.

I believe people who are "gifted" with the trait of gambling are the lucky players who win the jackpot, getting millionaires instantly. There is no way to explain why someone managed to bet on the right numbers, considering the probability of matching the correct number are tiny (to not say almost inexistent), while majority of gamblers will never accomplish it during their lifetime. Still, few individuals achieve doing that, so I guess that was their gift. Meanwhile, everyone else can't do anything about it, besides relying and developing their own gifts to manage thriving somehow, which may have nothing to do with luck...Regards your question, it's sure casinos will apply bans and restrictions once they spot a gambler is winning too much. The first assumption they make is that the gambler is actually cheating the house, although they can't prove it in 100% of the cases. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Peanutswar on May 18, 2025, 02:05:01 AM There are gifted people in terms of knowledge and skills but of course not all of them are getting hooked with the gambling activity we know its gambling so its already given a bad image in the community now its up to them if they want to engage with it, if no well its normal because for sure they will focus on the other things in life that can be use with their gifts, if yes quite good so because this could give them an advantage, not totally a hundred percent of assurance of wins but has a step ahead at least. For sure, there's no gamblerwho makes a continuous win for sure the casino will notice that losses are still right there but the profit wins are the most preferred to count.
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Agbamoni on May 18, 2025, 02:10:44 AM I think Charles-Tim made a lot of sense. If you are good at a particular games you can bet on those games and win as much as you want. Back then I was very good at 8 ball pool and we bet a lot even when we are not on board. As for casino games which requires luck we cant say someone grew up to be that skillful to win over the house. It is impossible, except for skill based games like sports betting where experience and proper analysis can push for more wins especially in the long term.

Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Fundamentals Of on May 18, 2025, 02:28:10 AM I don't know if others have also encountered this news but I have read a news before about extremely lucky bettors. There might have been one who won the jackpot thrice. I cannot remember the exact number of times but there were indeed gamblers who were simply lucky.
Hitting the lottery jackpot is not easy. It involves a lot of luck. Many people who have been betting on lotteries all their lives have not hit the jackpot even once. To a few though they won it more than once. Perhaps they are gifted, gifted with so much luck. It is not learned because betting on lotteries do not involve whatever kind of analysis. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: joeperry on May 18, 2025, 03:03:48 AM It all started with my habit of playing sports and when you play sports you should look up to professionals whether in basketball, football, boxing, etc. and once you watch that, you can analyze what could possibly go with the match and one time it came to my mind "I predicted it right, might as well try to place bet on it to see how it goes." and that's how I started to gamble, though not always winning but I have chance of winning when it comes to basketball and some football matches.
Though I like playing casino and community games such as crash game and roulette, it's just fun to play along with the community sometimes. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: mirakal on May 18, 2025, 04:44:04 AM We don't necessarily need to be skillful and knowledgeable in gambling. Instead, we hope to be luckier than everyone else. In fact, we already think that those who have been gambling for many years have the full knowledge and skills, but still, they lose like new gamblers. If we see a gambler often win, that definitely means he knows everything and has knowledge and skill, but not luck. Let us believe the fact that some gamblers are too lucky. But of course, losses still happen to them.

As long as someone plays without showing their cheating and the person gets a big advantage that they play, I think the Casino is unethical to give restrictions to the person because they play fairly. If there is really an application of the rules of the limit that the player feels that the limit is unfair, this can affect their perception of the casino and they may tell their experiences to other people and their closest relatives at that time and it is possible that their desire to play again in the future will not visit it because of the bad treatment from the casino. And remember the Casino can grow its business or be rich thanks to the many players who play there, so treat the players as well as possible. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: jcojci on May 18, 2025, 05:00:47 AM We may difficult to see those people who are gifted or have a talent in gambling. But I believe they are existed and still playing gambling without many people knowing. You can ask them if you meet them how they can win so many times in gambling because that is rarely happen to many gamblers. But you may not get a real answer because they don't want to tell their secrets.
Casinos can restrict or limit those people but that will not stop them for keep playing gambling. They can move to other casinos easily especially if they are playing gambling by online. So nothing can stop them from gambling but they will show their gifted to many people. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

I agree if it's gifted in a way that they are blessed with extreme amount of luck. But there are some that are gifted on skills in gambling. Like those professional poker players, you don't just need luck to win in that game. You should also be good at bluffing your opponent to gain advantage. They don't have 100% win rate but they know when to bet big or small. I'm quite confused about the OP's question and the title of this thread as they have separate topics but to answer the main subject, I started to gamble when I was exploring this crypto space. I was looking for more ways to earn bitcoin besides from faucets and stumbled to a dice site. I deposited some amounts from my faucet earning with the thought of giving me a huge return then the rest is a lesson for me to remember when gambling. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Julien_Olynpic on May 18, 2025, 05:08:37 AM It is difficult to say that this is a talent for gambling. Perhaps the author means the ability to consistently win at gambling? But if we are talking about casino games, then it is impossible to win consistently here, and it is not necessary. I mean that you cannot set such goals for yourself. As for sports betting, it is more complicated. We see that there are consistently winning players, but their number is extremely small. Perhaps this is the "talent" that the author wrote about? I started playing at the time precisely because I was inspired by the stories of such players and the ability to win over the long term.
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: lovesmayfamilis on May 18, 2025, 05:14:56 AM I don't need to think about it, because I am not an addicted gambler, and gambling serves as entertainment for me, on par with all other entertainment, like going to the theater or a concert, or any other place where I can relax with pleasure. Do I need to think about something that exists as a normal phenomenon in the lives of normal people? You should ask the person who turned it into an addiction when someone got carried away with gambling, just like people become alcoholics or drug addicts. It is also ridiculous to think that someone can have a gambling gift. OP, does this mean that a person is born to be a gambler?
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

I have not seen anyone that really won every time he gambles but I would assume there is a person this luck and skilled at the same time. I'm sure someone out there have mastered the cards and they can read what other people's card once they throw one on the table. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run The truth of the fact is that gambling is not an inbuilt gift, but it is what is been learnt with time and consistent practice. And however, when it comes to the second question of how did I started gambling, then I could say that the quest to get rich quick was my initial intentions while I started gambling many years ago, and it's still sad, I have been gambling all this years and I have not yet won the jackpot I intended. Which is still quite okay, because I now understand gambling now far better when I started as a teenager many years ago. Quote do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? Yes, it is a common scenario whereby when a casino noticed a particular individual to be constantly winning, they will literally place a limit to how much he/she can win, simply because they are scared of losing more money, or they could even terminate the account while claiming the individual cheated or whatever reason.

This is even better, you are not entrusting your money and hope on someone else's performance, he is gifted and he is making money from been athletic, what else is better than this? But unfortunately many people are not this gifted. Mind you, a champion in a city will not be able to retain his glory in another city or state, even experts meet worthy challenger and some of them loses too, but it's going to be fun for the player themselves. When it thus come to gambling alone there is no such thing as been gifted, that is like saying that someone is capable of knowing every out come of a game or what will happen in someone's life tomorrow. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Slow death on May 18, 2025, 07:04:24 AM I have read about cases of people who were skilled in sports betting and in these cases the bookmakers limited their accounts for various reasons. I also read a case on this forum in the past of someone who said that he was winning a lot and constantly at the bookmakers and that for this reason many bookmakers limited his account so that he would bet with a certain amount that was not those large amounts of money that he likes to bet. Whether or not what these people say is true, the fact is that most people are losing more than they are winning.
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Makus on May 18, 2025, 07:13:40 AM Op I tend to find it difficult to relate the topic to the text of your post, the two informations are entirely different from the other. Well from the topic, I started gambling even while I was a child but not with bankroll. As children there are several game that we play that involves you setting a bait for a bigger reward with our peers, but we never thought of it as gamble, we only focused our minds on the reward and the fun we make out of the losers ;D it was quite fun though, not until I grew up that I realized that it was actually gamble. And to be honest, the discipline we learnt from that game actually helped my gambling activities. I could remember vividly how we quit our session after making some wins without thinking twice, whereas leaving the opponent angered with the guilt of being used.
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: MAAManda on May 18, 2025, 07:21:16 AM Poverty was a strong reason for me to start gambling, initially I only gambled individually when big matches came, such as El Clasico for example. Until finally one of my friends introduced me to online gambling when I was still in high school, it made it easier for me to leverage my money. That's roughly the story of how I first entered the gambling industry as a player.
But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? I've never seen anything like that, basically gambling is a game of luck, even if you have 99% skill, it's still 1% luck that determines whether a player wins or loses ;D.

Post by: Dunamisx on May 18, 2025, 07:25:06 AM We know that naturally gambling isn't an inborn skill or something like gift that is gifted while being birth. At some point, everyone of us where once a newbie to gambling, then we began to learn and develop our knowledge, passion and interest for gambling till we are now the gambler we wanted to be, which I don't think anyone of us ever regretted making this decision right from the start because gambling is what makes us feels comfortable to have fun with, we are not compelled to doing it, instead we create an atmosphere to have fun gambling by our own personal interest for it, which has now turned a gift and skills which some of us acquired as we are used to gambling.

The meaning of gambling has everything to do with predicting the future, who is gifted with such power? The next thing you will hear about such human is they will start playing god like... Every lucky gamblers at one point in time thought they are gifted too until things turned around for them, there is no power that can make a gambler best a casino, there is no power that can also bring you constant luck, it is impossible. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Danica22 on May 18, 2025, 07:33:45 AM I remember when I started gambling on the playground. I loved playing football and cricket. And when my friends played football or cricket, we used to bet. As a result, the match became quite competitive.
However, current gambling is mainly based on casinos. It can be physical or online casinos. I see a lot of gamblers around me who gamble in online casinos. Although I mainly gamble on sports, many of my friends take high risks and bet on slots. This is a personal matter. However, in the case of gambling, we should definitely follow some rules. For example, money management is very important. It is important to be aware of the cost of money. If we do not do this, we can face huge losses. Also, self-control is important. If we cannot control ourselves, we can gradually become addicted to gambling. If we are aware of these two things, it is possible to stay away from addiction.

The possibility of someone have a gift or prediction is high, some people are gifted in speaking things into existence and they maybe be able to predict result subconsciously and this could help them win but if you are talking about someone local or global gambling site putting restrictions on such person I think it's absolutely possible because the house is watching it gambler closely but they make not make it open but could manipulate your possibility of staking or wagering a particular game or sport but however that is not a frequent incident that occurs it's usually rare to see that.

When I started gambling in the early 2000-s I have seen that bet365 which was the main player of online gambling there, the biggest one used to restrict people accounts who won 3000-4000 EUR at that time, luckily though I have never experienced such thing in cryptocurrency casinos as rarely I have seen someone complaining about account being restricted because of him being able to win over the long run.

None of us have divine powers. We bet. But we don't know for sure which team will win. Or whether we will win the bet. We guess, we sort out the statistics and then we bet on the favorite team. On the other hand, except for sports gambling, other sports are more dependent on luck. I don't know anyone who has consistently won every bet. Some gamblers may have taken big risks. And made big profits. But this happens very rarely. I think having good luck is more important than being talented in gambling. I have seen many uneducated and new gamblers who have been able to make big profits right from the start. Luck was with them. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Dr.Bitcoin_Strange on May 18, 2025, 09:31:06 AM @OP, there are some gambler who are extremely skilled or gifted in playing some offline casino games like baccarat, poker, tennis, dice, etc, if they are playing the game on land based casinos, they could win more often than their opponents that doesn't know how to play the game and can win others that bet against them. But, on the only casino, I doubt if there's such like gift of winning, true that some persons can be extremely lucky but not on the long run. The online casinos have restricted some gamblers for winning repeatedly, meaning they enjoy people to lose and that's why they have the house edge.

I didn't participate because he always chose the numbers, but the fact of seeing him play like the most natural thing definitely helped me to see gambling as a normal thing (although my mother didn't like it :D).

Post by: alastantiger on May 18, 2025, 09:56:15 AM I don't know if such topics has been existing for now but it's something worth discussing about. We know that naturally gambling isn't an inborn skill or something like gift that is gifted while being birth. We assumed that other thing could be gifted, such as books, skills and the ability to rectify technical issues. But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? We have gotten stories of gambling sites and casino owners banning some skilled gamblers from making use of their casinos because the gamblers have a good history of winning and casinos don't want people that'll be always winning. I think we might have some skilled gamblers that were born that way because there are some people that are lucky and don't experience failures as we do. The way I started gambling was motivated by money because I didn't grow up in the family that had enough for them hence I alway tried to assist my family in the best way that I can't. I have done some smalls jobs and wanted to double my money hence my friend told me about how I can double my money with gambling. When I first tired it, I was successful but after later tries, that's when I learnt the hard way that gambling isn't easy. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Sometimes talent in gambling does not determine how far they can develop their potential in gambling involving money. I know some people who are quite good at playing cards but when they play on certain sites their skills do not make them win the game consistently. In the category of card games, there may be some people who are good at it but that does not mean they can continue to win when in the game, especially if money is involved in gambling.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

If you got it you win 100% of what you bet and since its 3 box, theres a chance to get 2x and 3x if you hit it all.Since then I explore more to other games. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Altryist on May 18, 2025, 10:16:59 AM I have read about cases of people who were skilled in sports betting and in these cases the bookmakers limited their accounts for various reasons. I also read a case on this forum in the past of someone who said that he was winning a lot and constantly at the bookmakers and that for this reason many bookmakers limited his account so that he would bet with a certain amount that was not those large amounts of money that he likes to bet. Whether or not what these people say is true, the fact is that most people are losing more than they are winning. I know of cases where players had their maximum bet cut in offline bookmakers, when players must show their passport before making a bet. It is even easier to do this online, if necessary, they can limit your bet or even block your account or limit your bets, although I have not heard of such cases recently. I think this is possible if the player uses some strategies, although on the other hand I do not see any reason for the casino to block for this reason, because increasing the bet also often leads to the player losing everything during a long losing streak.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

As for how I learned about gambling and started playing, the first gambling games for me were the card games. At that time, almost everyone knew how to play various card games. A little later, I began to like billiards, although it is not a gambling game, but it was also played for money. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

I absolutely disagree with your opinion, because there is such an innate skill as luck, which directly affects the results in gambling.I know several "live" examples (I am familiar with them), who are often lucky in gambling. Moreover, in any gambling, be it betting on money or playing cards without betting on money. Such people are simply lucky and nothing can be done about it. At the same time, on the other hand, there are people who are catastrophically unlucky. One example is a gambler who has not won anything for 2 years (of course, he made bets periodically, not every day). :) I would not call all this proof of the presence of an innate skill of "luck", but such people who are "pathologically lucky" from birth really do exist. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Ziskinberg on May 18, 2025, 11:04:01 AM I’ll never forget how I started gambling. I was still a minor back then, already knowing how the game works, probably because it runs in the family. My grandpa used to run a small casino, and from time to time, I’d help out with little tasks.
So, gambling wasn’t something new to me growing up. Thankfully though, I didn’t get addicted, maybe because I matured early (or maybe because I was too broke to get hooked ). Now I just enjoy it as entertainment. BTW, that casino my grandpa owned? Long gone now, just a memory... Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: LogitechMouse on May 18, 2025, 11:47:29 AM Quote Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? If we're talking about offline gambling, I have been gambled since I was a kid. Probably around 9-10 years old when I first gambled, but it's just a small amount (around cents). Well, that's the first time that I started gambling.When it comes to online gambling though, I only started as soon as I promoted online gambling casinos here. Kind of weird to think that the forum influenced me to be an online gambler, but there's no regret on it because I chose to gamble and it's my decision to gamble. As much as I'm spending some money on gambling, like most here, I also didn't get addicted into it, and I guess I'm lucky that I didn't or else, my life would be as miserable as those other gamblers out there. Gamblers in the long run will lose their money. I don't know, but I guess that's how it is designed. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: masulum on May 18, 2025, 12:01:15 PM When I was a child I didn't know gambling, but when I think back, it was also part of gambling even though it wasn't betting money. A kind of traditional children's game, like playing cards(like this (https://img.lazcdn.com/g/ff/kf/S1f06708b6c0c4a5085f8b65426a3e01bp.jpg_720x720q80.jpg)), marbles, if I win I take my opponent's. as simple like that. When I grew up, I realized that I had been a gambler since I was a child. Haha.
If gambling money, I remember when I became a buzzer, at first I only played with demo, but because it didn't feel right if it was only based on a demo, then I tried betting using money. This happened, less than 5 years ago. After that, i played weekly and then daily, before i know I'm not able to contol my self when playing, i decided to reduce this unhealthy gambling activity. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: gunhell16 on May 18, 2025, 12:33:38 PM I have seen someone that is gifted in betting before. He will compete with people in table tennis and he always win everyone around him. Also those that are good in particular games or sport can be examples if they bet with money. If it is gambling and betting sites, no one can win their house edge and the way they set odds which are enough to make enough money from gamblers. Some people that won huge amount of money but just at once is not because they are better than other gamblers but they are only lucky. I think that even if a player is gifted at the casino, he still cannot beat the house edge, and even if we say that the gambler who played the day he gambled is lucky, he still cannot beat the gambler, because the casino platform will definitely not allow this to happen to them. Because, right, it seems that casinos also control the winnings and losses of all their gamblers according to what I notice and observe. Though, I am not sure what I am actually saying. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: danherbias07 on May 18, 2025, 12:42:35 PM I have not seen one because it won't exist. Why? Because the online casino or gambling site itself will not let it happen. If ever there's a gambler who will receive a winning streak, it will be flagged easily by their system and soon that gambler will receive a losing streak.
Whatever we do, we cannot win against the house. That's proven and tested. So even if a person is gifted with a mysterious super lucky skill in gambling, he won't easily win because the system is set for a gambler to keep on losing. I might believe it more if he were a gambler playing sports betting. But I doubt a reputable casino will flag him as cheating because it might ruin their reputation. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Patikno on May 18, 2025, 12:43:06 PM After I remember how I started gambling, I think it started when I was still not in school, because at that time I only focused on playing, and in fact the games I played before could be said to be the beginning of my gambling, I said that because at that time I had started betting my pocket money (fiat) to play marble (it is called as "Guli" on my area or environment). As for online gambling games such as soccer betting or slot games, I started playing them before I entered college as far as I can remember.
Regarding people who are talented or gifted at gambling, I don't think there are any such people, because I feel that gambling is influenced by luck alone, therefore, I cannot consider people who experience consecutive luck when gambling as gifted people.

The desire for gambling is most likely inherited, because it has been proven many times that many people have a predisposition to gambling if their relatives are superstitious and likes a gambling too. I can explain this by the fact that all emotions and motivations are in our heads. These are just chemical reactions and excitement. This is most likely a reaction when a person simply has more or less of some kind of chemistry, that is, we ourselves are not very guilty of wanting something, most likely, we are driven by chemistry. And therefore there are people who do not give in to excitement at all, and there are those who just need to start gambling and he will take all the things from his apartment to the pawnshop.

I remember that during summer, I played cards on the street for fun with other children. Cards were a good time killer.

I haven't seen this kind of thing happen in big casinos, but I observe the behavior of the people around me. There used to be people around me who played poker or blackjack every sunday. In that group of gamblers, there was one person who was really good at poker and other card games. When that person joined the bet, the other gamblers did not allow him to play.In this case it may also be possible in large casinos that may limit a gambler who has a smarter skill set.

I don't think we can encounter a person so lucky in gambling that they consistently win; we can only see this in a movie like The God of Gambling, which stars Chow Yun-Fat. This is why the casino is a profitable business, because gambling operators know that for gamblers to win, they have to be lucky.If a casino has a player who is on a good run or has a high winning percentage, they will likely limit their play.

Post by: HONDACD125 on May 18, 2025, 08:04:50 PM It's a normal occurrence for casinos to limit or completely restrict gamblers that win a lot because they either find it suspicious or they don't want to lose a lot of money to a single gambler. This is not about gambling games, but mostly sports betting or games where the player can use their skills to win and doesn't solely depend on luck because if you are playing a casino game where the results are completely random and manage to hit a jackpot or get a big win, the casino would know that it was purely out of luck, but if you are making sports bet and winning almost 90% or more of the bets, they will limit you or restrict you.
To be honest, it can't be a skill or anything, even someone with too much knowledge and experience about sports won't be able to have wins constantly and they are going to experience losses as well, but if someone is too lucky, which means that they win most of the games they bet on because their luck favors them, then they might face such things and this can happen on both, online and physical casinos.

I think one of those was said to be someone who was a maths professor who applied his skills to gambling; such a type of skill, if not truly existent, is something that comes as a gift and a lifetime dedication of hard work, and such a type of person is not someone any casino operator will want to keep on their side.

We were 101% into football, training, collecting albums, and I don't remember what consoles we played, but the Sony 1 made some kind of revolution with football games. So naturally we started betting on football... and then other games came.
The first little casinos (to call them that way) were places in some alleys, with some small advertisements... if you didn't know where they were, you couldn't even find them. And where are we today? The other day I read some research...

Post by: Smartprofit on May 18, 2025, 08:56:12 PM Yes, there are talented people who have the necessary skills and abilities to win in the long run in some types of gambling, for example, in poker.
As a rule, these are people with very good analytical skills, many of them have a technical or physics and mathematics higher education. They have an excellent memory, which allows them to remember all the cards that appeared in the game. They also have unique acting skills that help them bluff and thereby confuse opponents. In addition, they are excellent psychologists - physiognomists, observing the opponent they actually "read his thoughts". If such people (and sometimes they unite in teams of professional players) cause significant financial damage to the casino, then the casino security service often begins to look for a reason to remove them from playing in the casino.

But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? I would say its depends a lot of the type of the game. Data games, roulettes and some others of slots that are based purely on luck indeed canot develop any "skill". The skill that player can most developement in this case is management of his bank, so that he can stay more time in game, adapt strategies and beting lines according to the luck of that moment. When we talk about card games, for example, then I can believe there are some skills, because attention to the cards and math dominanc to calculate probabilities already help lot to get victoryes. And if we go to sports games, then I believe someone can have a lot of skills if they really likes the game that betting, someone who research and study the teams and the championship a lot has more chance... knows how to recognize advantages that even casinos couldn't see and than give a "differentiated" bet. I do believe that some players have the gift for bets, but he need to choose the kind of bets very well. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

If that's happening still I wouldn't call it as a gift, it's just their luck and it hits them hard. But casinos can and most likely will restrict the player from betting again even when they don't have any conclusive evidence to support that the player is cheating to win the games. So you can get into a problem even when you big but usually casino give the rewards and restrict the future bets but if a casino try to avoid paying the winning bet then it falls under scam so there's a fine life differentiate the two.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: YOSHIE on May 18, 2025, 10:03:41 PM do place restriction or limits on such persons? Yes, the casino as we know they have operators in their respective fields.For example: slots, roullete, dice, blackjack and so on, the fact we see and who had been encountered including some of my friends who were professional gamblers and in the end still lost. Even though they have skills, strategies or talents, no one has succeeded in defeating the city in the long run, for that the limit is there for those who bet they know which one to win and to lose.

I don't have any skills in gambling, it is just luck and nothing else, and i gamble responsibly, so i have never had any problems with my gambling habits.

So you are basically talking about people who somehow are gifted some strange ability by whatever force in the universe to beat the casino in their own game and profit from casino games in the long term without any logical explanation... I believe there are people who are indeed more fortunate than others and could manage to pull off some strange winnings on casinos which inevitably lead the casino to restrict their activity, because they win too many times. But I prefer to believe it is rather a coincidence and there is nothing super-natursl about those people, they are are just extremely lucky when the time is right and hence, they can pocket money in the short term when they partake in gambling, which is problematic for casinos. I would always recommend people to be skeptical on anything or anyone related to alledged supernatural forces making people to beat the house.

Those period, you have to support your team in both words and action even if you know they won't be able to win their opponent. So, I was betting blindly in the direction of the big teams and the teams we support. Funny enough, I was winning more then than now.
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: TelolettOm on May 18, 2025, 11:36:56 PM Have you ever think of how you started gambling? When asked about this, I answered briefly: "It happened so fast, I even forgot when, where, and how it started, it continues until now, but fortunately it is only slow and with strict limits.And for gamblers who have innate skills or are indeed geniuses in gambling, honestly I myself have not met them directly, except for id films, I have watched them several times like that. However, it does not mean they do not exist. Because, there are many privacy measures carried out by many parties to protect them, their assets, their privacy, and so on without having to be known by many parties. And it does not mean that no one is able to do it because of the power of the bookies. It's just that, either they cover it up or they don't want to show themselves. But if it's a matter of accounts that, for example, win continuously, it could be that the bookies will check whether there is cheating or not. and what is the next mistake will be cheated or not, that might be subjective.

I started gambling while I was in the university. In the apartment which I live which was like student, almost everyone was engaged in sports betting and it just like a social trend. If you don't join, it will look as if you aren't sociable. This was linked heavily with football fan love. So, everyone will want to watch weekend matches and support their clubs. If you so much trust your club, you include them in your gambling ticket and if your club fails you, you will be laughed at. This was a great source of fun. But while some of us took it as fun, some others took it as a means of making big money. While we risk small portion of our eating money for gambling, some people risk their school fees. So, it was this environment I started gambling but it didn't take part of me as I was always unconcerned whether I win or I lose. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

I think that for gambling it is not being gifted that is it. The closest word to it here is being experienced. So persons are so experienced that they tell you the bookies with the best odds. They tell you what to look out for when doing your analysis before you decide to place your bet. They tell you so many things that if you follow you end up winning. And you know they are always right. This is not a gambling gift it is a gambling experience. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

And it depends on what games they're betting on.
If it's luck based games, there is a possibility that the algorithm will change and the next bets they'll bets are going to be negative or no longer in favor of them. Also, if someone is going through that luck, that's not a gift IMO but a long-term built winning strategy. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Gambling is one such addiction or attraction that people learn to master in themselves by observing others. Education, culture, reality, everything has an established form in society, but gambling has an established form in some societies, while in some societies gambling is not accepted, due to which people can distribute knowledge or textbooks, but cannot share gambling bets or losses as gifts.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

But if casinos do that, they may lose its reputation because they limit people to gambling and not want to accept the lose of the money as their risk.
People will leave the casino and don't want to return because they don't like the restriction or limits from the casinos and they only want to playing gambling. The only thing can happen if when gamblers activate limitation or self exclusion to themselves and not because the casino. But it is rare to see people who gifted in gambling and can win the games more than others. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Post by: Mastercon on May 19, 2025, 11:28:23 AM Some places have legal gambling arenas called Casinos, horse racing and lotto ticket participation. The penetration of games or lotteries is high in public domain as they are sold through channels like e-commerce or retail shops. People mostly start from buying lottery tickets or online sites called video casinos. Housie, a popular party lotto game mostly played in European nations where entry fee or entry tickets cost around 100 euro and increment of 100 euros. The game has a caller than spins a sets of balls numbered on them and selects one to rad the number to the ticket holders. Players mark off the called numbers on their tickets. The game is called with different winning patterns like rows, columns , diagonals and specific patterns. Prizes mostly cash prizes are distributed to the ticket holders with the winning patterns. Bumper lotteries are weekly or monthly lotteries that comes as low as $1 and winners and their prizes announced through newspapers or radio channels. Retail channels selling lottery tickets are rare but a few designated shops sell them to the public.

Gambling can not give us continuous victory in the long run. Gamblers can win big enough, but will not be able to get a victory routinely. Victory will come to you once in a while, and several defeats that you will experience more often. There will be no gamblers who are truly talented in gambling. Gambling does not need to limit anything, if something wrong happens, then the system will detect it. What happens is likely something that violates the rules of the casino to take advantage.

There are not actually that many such players and if a player mostly just wins I think it would be easy for a bookmaker to track them. If it is an offline bookmaker the person has to come regularly place a bet and collect their winnings. If they constantly just collect winnings it would be easy to remember them especially since there are cameras everywhere. If it is an online bookmaker the casino can easily track that person's account especially if it is a casino that requires verification. But I think nowadays there are a lot of casinos that do not require verification and such players can create multiple accounts in different casinos so there is definitely a way out.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

It was a popular game in the neighborhood together with Chinese Poker. I am having a hard time learning Chinese Poker because mostly it was played by adults so I stick with Lucky 9.
I can't remember I ever had a huge win in gambling during those times. The best result I got was an even result where I retained my bankroll funds. Most of the time I lost. You're right that people who are gifted in gambling are rare to find, probably why I haven't come across one before. Same here, I thought I have seen one but I lookling back that person also loses more than she was winning. It is that she won more frequent than I do. ;D Quote Personally, I do not believe in having that special gambling gift from birth . The world is mysterious and deep, there are lots of mysteries that man yet discovered of if they did, they deny it. Although unbelievable, I think that there are certain things that is far beyond our understanding. So I am neutral whether there is someone who is born with 4 club cover on their mouth (being lucky). Quote I don't even believe in divinity or any superpowers where gambling is concerned. If all these gifts were really true, many casinos would have been shut down because these special guys would definitely have an edge over the casinos. This is a con.

Maybe we could see it a good gambling skills based on years of gambling experience with good records of successful results, but I have not encountered anyone in the past who is said to be a gifted gambler, whereas it could be seen as addiction if one gambles excessively without control, How then can we say one is a gifted gambler? Even so, being a skilled gambler does not mean that they have no losses; they have had records of games they had lost in the past before they could achieve being a gambler with good gambling skills.
No one reaches a mastery level without scaling through hurdles in their field, as that is what makes them seen as authority in their field, likewise gambling as well. I believe the casinos also take cognisance of accounts with back-to-back winning strict,t, and when that continues, there is every possibility that their accounts might be restricted. So far, there was a case when a member complained of his account being suspended for no cause, but he attributed it to having been on the winning side which I believe the casino became furious to take such actions while one also complained of being limited too. I do not think the casino would watch that happen to them as they would look for every means to stop such account from winning that much on their platform.

But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? I started gambling with my friends through nonmonetary bets. We usually bet on anything placing items like food, fruits , punishment, etc. As we grew up, we started betting on physical sports that we were engaged in. Each team will contribute some money and bet on which side wins the match. As I became mature, I stopped group gambling and started doing it individually using physical betting shops. Today, online casinos have taken over my gambling life. Maybe this is a brief rundown of how I started gambling.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Odusko on May 19, 2025, 02:58:08 PM I started gambling due to the influence of my friends. I tried because I saw them winning, thinking that I could win as well. Yes, I win and am tempted to continue gambling, looking for more wins. But after suffering some losses, I ask myself if I have to continue this or not. Doubts arise in a situation where we are also on the dark side. We could think about quitting, but when we hear that other people win big after a terrible loss, it also changes our minds. Gambling is one habit that most of us discovered it through friends and for sure it won't make any sense to discover alone since the fun in gambling is when done in groups and competitive so most of us develop our gambling habits through our interactions with friends and trying and challenging on one or two which later turned out to bet and ultimately gambling on them in the end.I couldn't say I was a gifted gambler because, honestly, I lose more than I win.

Since, just like you said already, this doesn't have any recorded occurrence sometime in the past to this day, that's enough to understand that it's never going to change. Nobody is gifted to predict a machine skill -- a random production which is only known by the machine, but mastered by the book makers.So if anything of this nature happens, (which i know of course it won't) then the casinos can make new restrictions for the new trait. Someone said something about gambling divination.. what does that even mean?? As each day passes by, I just keep realizing that some people are a "new type" of stupid.

You can have fun by yourself when gambling, you don't have to be in group or gamble with your friends. In the casino, you have others that you'll be betting against when you're playing a game that involves two people and when you're playing against the house, you don't need an opponent anymore. Most people that started gambling was as an influence of their friends and peer pressure because it's what almost everybody is doing hence when you're doing it, you'll be looking like the odds one out. Gambling doesn't have to be competitive unless you're gambling between your friends. Why I said gambling doesn't have to be competitive is because, if you always want to win, you'll be putting yourself under lots of pressure when gambling and that's not good for you.

I think you can still strategize yourself and make good winning, and what I noticed from football is that the moment you so much focused your attention to win something big the more it becomes that difficult for you to win because it's now like you are trying to break through the house, and not as fun anymore.

If you want to make consistent profits in gambling, it's impossible for us to get and whatever strategy we use, it's very difficult to maintain winnings on every bet we make. In this context, maybe what we need to think about is not making money consistently but being able to control the risk of losing more. Don't focus too much on pursuing victory in gambling because the most important thing is actually maximizing the risk of defeat with a lot of involvement in it and someone who breaks through the bookie will never win because it will end up being more unpleasant when involved in gambling ends with a lot of defeat.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Using gambling as the main source of income is a completely wrong thing IF they don't know how gambling works and IF they are very layman. Laypeople come to gambling hoping to get big wins with just a $1 bet and want to get a $1k return, a crazy thing that keeps them losing on every game opportunity and bets made. The basis of regulations provided by the government in every place makes it a rule that cannot be violated. Like in my country which does prohibit gambling, but there are more illegal casinos that are growing more and more. Legal online casinos that have received a permit from the government with a strict audit will certainly be the best choice because they are really allowed by the government. Most of the people who started gambling at my place because of their interest in making big money the easy way, but they didn't think about the risks. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: xenomorfo on May 20, 2025, 09:57:00 AM It is very good that you gamble completely selflessly for entertainment, when someone plays something together with friends without money, there is no possibility of any kind of loss, because at that time our main attraction is entertainment. I also hang out with friends occasionally, where I find a lot of mental peace, because when dear friends are together, we all talk to each other and laugh a lot, and we play different types of games, where even without money, there is a lot of attraction. Because when playing with friends, money is not needed, we can have deep joy without money. I have always seen this as fun and therefore superfluous. Above all i have learned to set limits for myself, in the course of my life i have had bad experiences when i did not control myself with certain expenses. It's not worth it to indulge in an unnecessary expense and then suffer afterwards. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

I personally know how my gambling journey first began, and I've told this story many times. It's an experience that began with my efforts to enrich my knowledge while simultaneously get introduced with the world of crypto, and this forum provided me with an even richer experience. My gambling experience is so satisfying for me because I practice it as a fun activity with a very small budget when I have time. My experience participating in casino signature campaigns has helped me, as each time I register an account with a casino to test out some of the features and write a review or critique of some practices, whether of the casino systems themselves or the gaming service providers. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Su-asa on May 20, 2025, 06:13:46 PM I think some people are gifted with luck, if they can't win constantly, at least they can win 8 to 9 out of 10 bets.
But it is not everyone that has this gift of being lucky in anything they do, if some random gamblers gamble and keep winning after hug losses, they shouldn't be too excited because the next result might be different from the other ones. However I am not a gifted gamblers because many times I lose and I that's why I don't wager too much and besides I'm doing it for the fun. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

A person can be skilled in various things. He can show more skill than any other in a short time but there is no such opportunity in the case of gambling. No one can guarantee about win even after trying a hundred times. Gambling is a game based on luck, here even if someone tries for a long time to do well, there will be no benefit if his luck does not favor him. That is why it cannot be assumed that someone will win regularly in gambling. If for some reason a person wins regularly, then his account can also be monitored. He may win some bets at a time but he will never win regularly.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

For fun truly I dont know if i have missed one but literally these are the reasons on why you do consider yourself on trying to deal up with gambling or any other things that makes you interested. The key on here is that you shouldnt be ending up on getting that addicted because this is the primary concern or problem on which people do ends up. If you do find yourself having that kind of addiction or those symptoms or behavior then it will be that much better that you should stop or having a break before its too late. People do usually stop at the time that they do experience unfortunate conditions on which they could have been able to do so earlier if they were just that sensible into the current conditions that they are into.

I wouldn't faster in winning. It's hard to say that as a promise when someone has read it. No way to win faster unless you go with casino games and you just keep rolling the dice or spinning the roulette. But it could also be the faster way of losing and that's why it seems encouraging but there is no guarantee that results could come as winning big or winning faster. But you're right that everyone needs to gamble only with an amount they can afford to lose, we tell this all the time.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

But it is better not to rely on fate and try to earn money in some other way. You need to load yourself with things to do and try to develop. And when there is a lot of stress, then gambling will be needed. They are great for stress, if you deposit 10 dollars and sit in the evening spinning the slots, then I feel rested after that.

That was how i started gambling. That first gambling session where you managed to win a good amount is actually pretty dangerous because most people get too hooked on gambling after that happens to them. Let me tell you how. Someone enters the gambling space with a small amount at first only to try and see how it goes, but what happens is that they manage to win something good with that amount, and that makes them really happy and excited, but it also makes them confident that they can actually make money from gambling and it's good money. With that thought, they keep gambling more often, with higher amounts of money, but we all know that the results don't favour you all the time. Some people manage it well and don't let themselves get too deep, but some people can't do that, and they slowly start getting addicted to gambling only because of their first win in their first gambling session. This is why I believe that a person who loses in their first gambling session is technically lucky because that loss can save them from more losses in the future because they would think that gambling is nothing but a waste of money and they wouldn't be much interested in it.

I see people talk about it and I decide to give it a try, it's simple bet with one or two matches and I'm done and even despite choosing 1 or two games, it's the games you don't put effort to analyze give you loss. I have tried other sporting bet, an I can tell you for free that anything that is controlled by casino, there is nothing that is not hard in it. I have try to explore other sports that are very simple, those games that I have thought will be easy turn out to be the worst and the reason for sticking to football matches outdo other gambling I have tried and not only that, when it comes to risk management, football is very efficient in doing that, other games are very difficult.

Starting gambling could just happened without someone realizing how they started, however from your questions if someone was born with a gambling gift there shouldn't be any reason why they should be restricted but however in physical betting company they might actually not be happy about it because by the time someone bet 20 times on a betting shop and won all, when next they go there to gamble the owner might not allowed them to gamble again but that's contrary to the online gambling because no matter how often you win they cannot restrict you because while you are wining there are also other people whom they're making money from through there losses.

It is impossible, except for skill based games like sports betting where experience and proper analysis can push for more wins especially in the long term.

It seemed more real and engaging since you'll have to go through all the process and you're a participant, so everybody played their heart out to win the money. It was more entertaining, real and it felt good. Now all luck is left to the manipulation of the casino and other outcomes that is beyond your direct control.

I was very interested in I began to apply the strategy of Marting Gila, about which I have not read anywhere. The next money I put real money began to play strictly according to Martin Gale, but as everyone already knows this strategy at some point increases the bet so that our money is not enough to put it again, and so it happened and I lost. And after 3 years, I began to play poker, where I also did not gain great success, although I spent a lot of time and effort on it, in the end I was left in the near -mall state without losses and without profit.

Though I am not as heavy as my parents are in terms of gambling, I still, from time-to-time, gamble with my own savings just to try and check my luck. Wow this is crazy, my own father was the opposite, he hated gambling to the core because some friends and relative were ruined because of their gambling activities, my father would boast to disown any child if he or she decide to ignore is advice on gambling at the time. Anything apart from gambling and crime he is ready to support, I missed him, I could remember how he used to say that a gambler isn't a good child that they will likely end up selling their parents home or properties to fulfill their gambling addiction. I ended up trying out gambling after he was no more, but at the time I was ready to feel how gambling is like and figure out why the relatives and friend of his end up becoming an addicts, I got my answer later, after I lost money on the first round after I won at first.

Yes gambling is one of the things you start doing at a particular stage of your life, it is not inborn. You either learn to do it or you just find yourself doing it. Most times you start gambling because of the influence of pairs, you see them do something and you want to also know how to do that thing and from their they teach you more by putting you through or you learn by yourself. Thus, the idea of gambling isn't part of genetical make-up even though someone can start to gambling because the family gamble. That does not mean it should be traced to genetics but it is just an impulsive habit that is learned because people around are doing it. For example, a boy who grows up in a family where the father gambles can also grow up to take to that from the dad just like taking up the dad's hobby of singing, smoking, dancing etc because he sees the dad do those things too.

Post by: r_victory on May 21, 2025, 08:16:35 PM I started about three or four years ago, so my contact with the world of betting is quite recent. I didn't have anyone in my family who influenced me to do it, I think I'm the only one with this habit.
Likewise, I don't see betting or being good at it as a gift or an art, I just bet and that's it, I don't read books about it or take courses. In some way, everyone is a gambler, for example, when I was a child, if a friend doubted my ability to do something, I would always say: “Do you want to bet?”, it's natural, and I think most people say that. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Antotena on May 21, 2025, 08:32:01 PM Actually there's no talent in online gambling, being it sport betting or casino games. However in some other games which gamblers do physically, they might try to implement some sort of strategy which could work for them most times but the truth is that they are being lucky and that's why they win. If the opponent have a better strategy he can use it to win too. I probably think that majority of people who are lucky in their daily lives don't get too lucky in gamble, so there's no talent in gamble. Unless you are a footballer or a partaker in any sport game. But in gamble there's no talent. There are people that are actually talented in gambling but that doesn't really guarantee you to win games in gambling especially as a bettor. For instance, those people that do make ball analysis understand games of different teams and players performance, they are the people that makes the closest calls on games and win money but even if you are talent in making predictions doesn't mean it will be like that in the end, there are unforeseen circumstances that does happen and you will have no power over it. If you're very good at making calls on prediction, you will likely make good money before other people but then again, you have to reduce greed and eat the money you are good at making. Just because you are good at making 15 games doesn't mean you have to make the predictions. Make your best 5 pick and put reasonable amount of money and continue like that instead of trying to win billions under a month, that's by gambling, that's a witchcraft practice.

At first I remembered that the first thing I tried was the slots, but in fact I remembered that I also had lottery much earlier and they were very interested in me. The most interesting thing is that before the game slots, our online casino asks our age and we pass KYC, while a lottery ticket can now be bought at any age, because the one who sells it does not ask for our age, so adolescents in some countries begin their game path with this. Of course, when getting a win comes, only then they will ask about age, but the teenager will be able to give a winning ticket to the one who considers to whom he will be necessary and he will give him money.

Many people have won and can win from cricket but the matter is a fact that while losing in a project the gambler/user try to recover the fund too fast, then places on high-risk bet on cricket, eg, 4 runs in next ball, wicket in the next ball, and something like that. In this case, if they are lucky, then they might recover, but in most cases, the user/gambler can be a loser.But job was done all were looking for another chance but things gone pretty worst after every lost good thing happen no one ever done anything wrong all keep going with small amounts few are not settled in foreign countries, but I am still on my place with my stuff and latest technology because now I can do this through internet without any problem and Bitcoin give better security and independence which were not before this many problems.

Lottery is absolutely part of gambling, there is nothing controversial about it. After reading your post, I remembered that I also had some encounters with some kind of lotteries when I was a kid at a few occasions. I remember the satisfaction and glory of winning any prize. And still that was nothing when I compared looking at the big prizes myself, which I never won but you get the idea. Fast forward a few years after that, I remember starting to gamble on some matches by looking at my friends were doing. A couple of lucky wins and you are hooked fast, especially if you bought yourself something good. Like a necklace which you have for a long time and reminds you every now and then of how you got it.So I remembered that when I was a high school student, I bought a lottery ticket for the first time, my friends did it for the first time, and we all really looked forward to the results of the draw, and already thought that we would definitely win.

I`m good enough in predictions, but i don`t feel that "something goes wrong". I asked him to tell me how he understand it, what he feel, he really tried to answer, i saw it, but the answer was "i don`t know anything, i just feel, that it is not what i waited". He watches much more than me, i think that it is the real reason and main difference between us.

Post by: Shinpako09 on May 28, 2025, 10:03:29 AM Skills in gambling, especially in card games, could be improved but not gifted. I've never seen anyone being gifted in gambling, but I've seen a lot who inherited their gambling traits from their parents, or maybe that's just what they usually see from them, and soon they are also doing it. As for me, my father also did gambling when he was still in his teenage years, but I think I gamble more if I compare myself right now to his teenage years. But of course, I didn't tell them how much I have lost already.

I enjoy gambling now but theres a lot of negative effect in life. i will cherish all the time in effort to earn and save and give the free time to my love in life. my fam. coz gambling can get your time instead of giving to them.

Some people sometimes lose everything they own gambling. But once a person becomes addicted to gambling, they are unable to give it up, even if they continue to lose, because they always have hope that they will eventually win and make up for it.

Yes, indeed, it will difficult to win more in gambling because you may only have a chance to lose than win. But it is natural if we don't remember our first time playing gambling because many of us playing gambling in a very young age.

Just like you said gambling is totally unpredictable, and to add to this, I don't believe there's any amount of experience that a gambler would acquire in gambling that'll make him attain a level where he'll be securing continuous wins.

Post by: eisen33 on June 02, 2025, 09:43:38 AM When I mention analytical tools provided by the casino, I'm simply talking about those sections where the gambler's can access some tools that aids them in arriving at a more realistic prediction, which I believe every sports betting casino has. Example of these tools includes the Head-to-Head, previous games or Last previous matches, team's position in the competition and several others, these are tool that helps the gamblers to evaluate the team's capacity, in other to come up with the game's potential outcome. This applies to all players who are just starting their journey in betting. There absolutely must be data for analyzing the match you are going to bet on. There are also different apps where you can get all the necessary information about each team about the lineups injuries and many other things. I will not mention them here so as not to advertise them. I believe that experienced bettors are well familiar with such apps and use them every time they are about to place a bet.

Of course and it certainly goes beyond that, they make you targeted offers. For example, as you know, i play poker, the casino never offers me bonuses on betting, since i always ignore these bonuses, they don't offer them to me anymore. He offers me discounts for poker tournaments, which i obviously don't participate in because i don't want to overdo it. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

That's how I started gambling but I was always reasonable and I am also lucky to say that I've always been in a profit. Once I was so much that for a kid, that was an amazing amount of money.Over time, I became more cautious and I started to learn the math of casino games.

The reason is because in any case gambling has a dealer advantage, there is a certain portion that you must give to the dealer through a losing scenario and that is the reason why a gambler must always set limits and know when to stop.

Yes, but the money that the dealer takes from the gambler affects the latter's earnings only in the long run. If the gambler came to the casino and played a couple of games, then the dealer's influence on the gambler's overall monetary result will not affect. Therefore, I often thought that every gambler should not play long sessions, and make only a few bets, give Fortune a chance to change his fate. And if this does not happen in the first few bets, then there is no point in playing in the casino further. But then I realized that there is a flip side to the issue: only over a long distance does the luck factor decrease, making the player's skill more influential.

There are many times that teams doing so well can't defeat the weaker team and this isn't because of any specific player that the weaker team has but because of the team spirit that they have at the club. How we started how to gamble doesn't really matter but how you're coupling while gambling is what really matters because it's how you're managing yourself and not losing money more frequently that you would had budgeted.

Winning in gambling often hinges on luck. However, in an online casino, I have rarely seen first-time players lose their money. Did you hear about something like "beginner's luck"? If not, Google it. Such a thing creates a misleading sense of confidence for noobs. And after a while, they face defeat. For long-term profitability, you should focus on house games that require skill and strategy. I prefer blackjack or poker, you could choose sports betting too. Don't go for those games where house edge is significant & outcome are arbitrary. If you concentrate on skill-based games, you may lose occasionally, but your strategic approach will help you to achieve long term gain. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Because the casinos never forced them to gamble, they gambled on their own and faced bigger losses, then the whole fault is only that gambler. If a gambler could keep himself in proper control, and could stop himself from gambling after some losses, then he would never have become a big mess. Gambling is a matter of self-control, only that gambler who has proper self-control and tends to stop at the right time can win. Some gamblers thinks that they can magically win huge amount at in a matter of 1 or 2 trial, that's why they allow themselves to keep gambling with the amount of money they can not afford to lose. Even the gamblers will start chasing losses when the winning they expected is not forthcoming. I will always advise a gambler not to gamble with the amount of money they can not afford to lose because if they do, they will still have their self to blame because like you said, the casino can not be held accountable for the losses. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: purple_sparkles on June 05, 2025, 11:12:53 AM A long time ago, I used to work at a betting shop, and there were players who looked for favorable odds across different bookmakers. They developed strategies that allowed them to stay in profit no matter what. The trick was in taking advantage of the differences in odds. They usually placed large bets, and the bookmakers were aware of their methods. As a result, they weren’t allowed to place bets on all matches. There were instructions from above not to accept bets from certain individuals if the amount exceeded a specific limit. And if the bet was particularly large, it was mandatory to contact management for approval. So yes, such a system to limit these kinds of bettors has been around for quite a while. ;D ;)

Gradually, I was interested in playing pairs to see them, and with a small amount of money I started playing. But now I understand that it was very wrong to get into it. That's why I think those who gambling should not play in front or public. My first deposited money is lost in the beginning of the game.

Post by: Versatile_choice on June 06, 2025, 09:20:30 AM I don't know if such topics has been existing for now but it's something worth discussing about. We know that naturally gambling isn't an inborn skill or something like gift that is gifted while being birth. We assumed that other thing could be gifted, such as books, skills and the ability to rectify technical issues. But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? First of all you should know that there are different types of gamble, this topic would have make more sense if you are specific about the type of gambling you're talking about here. But since you didn't mentioned the type of gambling you're talking about I want to tell you that there are some gamble that may likely to be considered as natural gift for example: golf, table tennis, and others. This few I just mentioned here is quite different from those regular gamble for example: sport gambling and casino this above mentioned gamble don't work with strategy, which is why is very rare to find someone who have been wining from this type of gamble, why in golf and table tennis strategies can be applied and I have seen people wining from this type of gamble in the long run.

Have you not seen people winning in football betting on the long run? Perhaps the other games that you mentioned are part of sports games which you can do analysis with your own strategy to make an accurate prediction. It's mostly in casino and slot games that you can not manifest any gift of winning regularly because the casino houses edge will not even allow you to win the house, you can luckily win a jackpot but if you continue gambling, they will still take back the money. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Frankolala on June 06, 2025, 10:25:05 AM A gambler's big losses are never the fault of the casino. Because the casinos never forced them to gamble, they gambled on their own and faced bigger losses, then the whole fault is only that gambler. If a gambler could keep himself in proper control, and could stop himself from gambling after some losses, then he would never have become a big mess. Gambling is a matter of self-control, only that gambler who has proper self-control and tends to stop at the right time can win. Some gamblers thinks that they can magically win huge amount at in a matter of 1 or 2 trial, that's why they allow themselves to keep gambling with the amount of money they can not afford to lose. Even the gamblers will start chasing losses when the winning they expected is not forthcoming. I will always advise a gambler not to gamble with the amount of money they can not afford to lose because if they do, they will still have their self to blame because like you said, the casino can not be held accountable for the losses.

Fact is that, the casino will surely notice an unusual win on their platform. Though the user isn't cheating or something even if he's using his gift or skill like you said, he might still be deprived by the casino from winning more often by reducing the chances is him winning. Gambling isn't much like a skill, but some people studies it hoping to understand over time which to me isn't much people because no matter how much you spend trying to understand these games, losses is still inevitable. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: danherbias07 on June 06, 2025, 11:00:23 AM A long time ago, I used to work at a betting shop, and there were players who looked for favorable odds across different bookmakers. They developed strategies that allowed them to stay in profit no matter what. The trick was in taking advantage of the differences in odds. They usually placed large bets, and the bookmakers were aware of their methods. As a result, they weren’t allowed to place bets on all matches. There were instructions from above not to accept bets from certain individuals if the amount exceeded a specific limit. And if the bet was particularly large, it was mandatory to contact management for approval. So yes, such a system to limit these kinds of bettors has been around for quite a while. ;D ;) I didn't know that. Isn't that unfair for the bettors? I mean, they are just good at what they are doing, so why are they stopping them? I know everything is about business to them, but if other bettors notice what they are doing, they might lose a lot of customers. Let's say those gamblers who are doing good at analyzing the results of the game will create a rumor or spread the news that those owners or managers are preventing them from betting just because of their success. Instead of trying to have the upper hand, they might lose customers because of what they had done. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Of course nobody is gifted in an activity that revolves around pure mathematical probability, which sides with the casino due to the "house edge". I would be very surprised if anyone had an actual working strategy for any kind of gambling. People claim they have worked out a system or something, but it never is true. There are people who have successfully found ways to cheat or game the system, you will usually see them whining in the scam accusation board about getting "scammed by the casino", once they get caught. Skill and knowledge won't bring you any note-worthy advantages in gambling. Personally, I started gambling just because it is fun. But I play with teeny tiny amounts which does not matter to me if I lose it. Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Hanadawa on June 06, 2025, 11:35:21 AM But now I understand that it was very wrong to get into it. That's why I think those who gambling should not play in front or public. My first deposited money is lost in the beginning of the game. I was not so addicted to gambling so I was able to get out of it fairly. I do not know if I can get out of the gambling addict if I am playing regular. Someone who starts gambling usually starts from family or from the environment where they interact. Sometimes a father gambles in front of his child. The child will be curious and that's where the disaster begins. Although the father can forbid his child from gambling, they will definitely try it when they have the chance. I agree with you that gambling should not be done in public. People who gamble as children will find it very difficult to stop their gambling addiction. I am grateful that you realize your mistake. But it seems that you are still having difficulty stopping gambling. One way to stop gambling addiction is to never think of gambling as a source of income and a quick way for you to get a lot of money. Control your emotions and curiosity about winning at gambling. I often see people who go all in on gambling because they want to get back what they have lost. And that is a fatal mistake that will ruin your future.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Pandorak on June 06, 2025, 04:16:18 PM This reminds me of when i first started gambling. Curiosity and the temptation of big profits in a short time led me astray. Slot machines became my favourite game, even though the potential losses were greater than sports betting or poker. However, the adrenaline rush i felt every time i spun the machine made it difficult to switch to other games. A lot of us who started gambling did so out of curiosity. Then, along the line, greed takes over and we become stuck with it to this day. I can still remember how I started by trying out my luck at a local bet shop in a country where ladies who even go near a gambling center are seen and regarded as irresponsible.Even when placing sports bets, i always stop by the slot games, even if only briefly, just to warm up the machine. It's not uncommon for me to keep playing until i run out of funds, even though it's frustrating, but it's still fun because i'm using money that i can afford to lose. Well, I didn't win that day. It was a game between Manchester United and Chelsea, and I had placed a bet for my club, Manchester, to win. It was just for fun, and I promised to play again next time and win, just to spite my friend. ;D Now, I still steal some time from my busy schedule to gamble once in a while. Exactly, it all started with mere curiosity, leading to a decision to give it a try. The urge even arose when seeing a friend playing slots. Perhaps when placing bets on sports, especially football, there is a low likelihood of developing a severe addiction. However, once you get hooked on slots, which inherently offer a different adrenaline rush or feeling with each spin, it must be acknowledged that they are highly addictive. It’s hard not to play them when you have money. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Orpichukwu on June 06, 2025, 04:28:43 PM For example, as you know, i play poker, the casino never offers me bonuses on betting, since i always ignore these bonuses, they don't offer them to me anymore. This is correct; we are given a bonus based on the particular game we focus on, like for those who are regular bettors on sports on a weekly basis or occasionally. The casino will give them a bonus which they are only to use for betting and can't use for poker or slot games. He offers me discounts for poker tournaments, which i obviously don't participate in because i don't want to overdo it. There is this particular casino I play with which, if I wager up to a certain amount before the week runs out, will give me a voucher which I will use to place a bet on sports. The bonus doesn't have many requirements attached to it aside from the fact that you can't cash out of the game halfway; you need to wait till the end of the game. If it places in your favour, you become a winner, and if it doesn't, the casino takes back their money. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Gambling is not something people are born with, but rather they learn a lot about it from their environment. For example, if someone in society is addicted to gambling, people become curious about it after seeing them. If a classmate in school is addicted to gambling, other students learn to become addicted to gambling after seeing that classmate. But if I had to say it, I would have to say that I didn't know anything about gambling, but one of my cousins is a very expert at gambling and I developed a little interest in gambling after watching him. I learned my first lesson in betting from him.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Gambling are in different category, remember when someone is born, there is point sometimes you will see children playing and all of a sudden you will see them saying, I bet my clothes, I bet my shoes, if you can run, dance or do a particular thing more than me then you can take these..., remember nobody taught them that and if that is gambling then I will boldly say that gambling is inborn but the aspect of winning is not an inborn and it doesn't even happen anyhow I mean is rare but I call it luck some people are destined for luck, fortunate people yea, they exist. If some sites sees that, they will invite that person over and make a deal with the person. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Gambling to an extent when traced to how some started all the way, it was because of the opportunity of earning that made them take a bold step in learning how to gamble and also do it for the benefit of having something to fall back on as they play bets, but along the line, things don't really work the same direction they have thought, because gambling is expected to be seen as a means of having fun and not a way of making income. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Let's bet you can't do it? I'll bet my snack that you can't jump over that bench, that was my first bet. I don't remember the details exactly, but can we call it gambling? Jokes aside, at the age of 12, my parents gave me money for a snack and I systematically didn't buy it and kept the money (I never had a snack at school) when I reached the amount to be able to bet on a game, I tried, magically I won. :D :D Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Post by: Joy- maker on June 06, 2025, 05:52:34 PM I started gambling the second month I was giving the position of manager in betking where I was working as mere staff. How I started to gamble, anytime i have visitors like friends, classmates and so on I don't use my personal money to intertain them rather I we just pick like 3 to 4 games that will just give me 5 odds, at times I do pick 2 odds just to double the money which I have on me, after doubling the money then I we now use the money I won in virtual to intertain my visitors and then replace back my personal money, by doing this I started gambling small small, but I never got addicted to it and only gamble with the money I can afford to loose.

Though I like playing casino and community games such as crash game and roulette, it's just fun to play along with the community sometimes.

Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Su-asa on June 06, 2025, 07:09:50 PM Some people wouldn't accept to stop chasing their losses because they feel cheated by the casino for their losses. They believe that someday they will win a fortune and all those thoughts wouldn't make them realize that they will continue to incur losses if they don't change their mindset from chasing their losses and gamble for fun. You are right mate, gambler feels cheated because they lose but I think that's the process where emotions comes in, when fell cheated you have given an opportunity for emotions to decide on what to do and the truth is that you will always end chasing your losses as you have feel that you have been cheated by the casinos. A casino can not cheat on you, unless the casino is a scam, but it you are using a legit casino to gamble and you lose your bet it's because you are not lucky to win.

Therefore, this action will always be an unforgettable experience, and the beginning of someone becoming an active or addicted gambler. Regardless of how they first came into contact with or got to know gambling, winning will also be one of the reasons someone becomes addicted. Of course, in the journey of gambling, everyone will learn many things, and decide what is best for themselves. Some people become active gamblers, and others stop after feeling satisfied enough, or even are forced to stop because they are forced by circumstances. In the past, many people first gambled by betting on football matches, and I think some of them are still gambling today. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Actually, the path to profit from the casino is rocky, it is the truth, yeah, sometimes the truth is hard to swallow Your odds of hitting or losing are basically 50-50, and luck is all there is, so it’s a losing game over time for greedy wagerers. If you go for Sportsbookie, it is not risk-free at all. Yes , it could tip you if you have enough experience & skill. Most often, multi-master skilled bettors face unpredictable results, skill might help you edge better than chance, but luck is all in all. In the casino world, the main enemy is greed.

Then, along the line, greed takes over and we become stuck with it to this day. I can still remember how I started by trying out my luck at a local bet shop in a country where ladies who even go near a gambling center are seen and regarded as irresponsible.Even when placing sports bets, i always stop by the slot games, even if only briefly, just to warm up the machine. It's not uncommon for me to keep playing until i run out of funds, even though it's frustrating, but it's still fun because i'm using money that i can afford to lose. Well, I didn't win that day. It was a game between Manchester United and Chelsea, and I had placed a bet for my club, Manchester, to win. It was just for fun, and I promised to play again next time and win, just to spite my friend. ;D Now, I still steal some time from my busy schedule to gamble once in a while. Exactly, it all started with mere curiosity, leading to a decision to give it a try. The urge even arose when seeing a friend playing slots. Perhaps when placing bets on sports, especially football, there is a low likelihood of developing a severe addiction. However, once you get hooked on slots, which inherently offer a different adrenaline rush or feeling with each spin, it must be acknowledged that they are highly addictive. It’s hard not to play them when you have money. But my major concern in all of this is when children, especially underaged ones, begin to gamble when they should be focused on their studies instead, eventually becoming addicted at a very young age. Children are even more curious than adults, and they can barely control themselves when faced with gambling temptations. That’s why I’m genuinely concerned about what they are exposed to. I recently saw a parent take her kids to a bet shop, and I couldn’t help but frown at such behavior. •Getting influenced by their parents activities •Seeing some gambling ads on social media, youtube etc.. •External influence like friends and on someone in the environment We cant be able to make out some conclusions whether these kids will be ending up on becoming a gambler but if they are that being that too exposed and there's no proper guidance into their parents then most likely they would be ending with that path. For me I was involved in gambling online when i have touched up this crypto space, im not a gambler online before crypto days on which this had been only that on the time that dice games were rampant or being that popular. My parent are highly that discouraging or always keep on telling that gambling is bad and not something that needs up to deal on with on which these are the words that being stained out into my brain on which im thankful at least because even up to now I didnt find myself that being addicted because of it. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Cryptmuster on June 08, 2025, 09:03:44 AM Yeah most people start gambling from betting. A few years back, when online betting was not so popular, one had to find a bookie and then place a bet through them. But not every knew or had access to bookies and people were also concerned about their identities. But ever since online betting was available, many people have started to bet on matches. It was easy, with full privacy and also the crypto solved the payment concerns too. Many people began betting after online betting became popular. Previously, there were many betting shops and by the way, there were also many small casinos, you could play slots in many places, it was not difficult, but I think that many people were held back by the fact that they could not do it confidentially. With the advent of online casinos, everything has changed and it is obvious that the passion for gambling has become a more widespread phenomenon. Maybe at first there was not much trust in cryptocurrencies, but now this is also changing, so replenishing a deposit in crypto is now not something new or inaccessible. Everything for the player. ) Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: shasan on June 08, 2025, 04:52:12 PM If i can still turn back time to the time i first tried to gamble. It is great to hear that you are enjoying gambling while many people are disappointed by losses again and again. I also played while I was free, but nowadays, when I get free time, I spend my time on watching movies and dramas instead of gambling, though I have planned to start gambling once again soon.i will never learn how to and make my life far from it. I enjoy gambling now but theres a lot of negative effect in life. i will cherish all the time in effort to earn and save and give the free time to my love in life. my fam. coz gambling can get your time instead of giving to them. (this is just my thoughts) but i am currently enjoying now in gambling Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: madnessteat on June 08, 2025, 05:11:50 PM Some people wouldn't accept to stop chasing their losses because they feel cheated by the casino for their losses. They believe that someday they will win a fortune and all those thoughts wouldn't make them realize that they will continue to incur losses if they don't change their mindset from chasing their losses and gamble for fun. You are right mate, gambler feels cheated because they lose but I think that's the process where emotions comes in, when fell cheated you have given an opportunity for emotions to decide on what to do and the truth is that you will always end chasing your losses as you have feel that you have been cheated by the casinos. A casino can not cheat on you, unless the casino is a scam, but it you are using a legit casino to gamble and you lose your bet it's because you are not lucky to win. In order not to feel cheated after losing, you need to change your attitude towards gambling. You need to stop pinning your hopes on a big win that will change your life for the better and view gambling as entertainment that helps you get dopamine and adrenaline thanks to the risks involved. In my opinion, most gamblers face various problems due to a misunderstanding of gambling. Only by getting rid of the wrong attitude towards gambling can you look rationally at risks, losses, and probabilities. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Post by: Onyeeze on June 14, 2025, 07:27:39 PM I don't know if such topics has been existing for now but it's something worth discussing about. We know that naturally gambling isn't an inborn skill or something like gift that is gifted while being birth. We assumed that other thing could be gifted, such as books, skills and the ability to rectify technical issues. But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? nobody is destined to gamble and win, for me I'm seeing gambling wining as a points of luck, I have not seen gambling as a way that we can learn from inborn or what we are destined to, every one who is a partaker of gambling learn t it from here, and that's why you see so many people who is not gambler will continue to feel remorse whenever they lose in the gambling, I have know from my understanding that gambling is base on luck and opportunities, but when you are not lucky to win today that doesn't mean that you will not win forever, at least have the patient in the gambling, so I believe that we need to understand that concept that wining in the gambling is all about luck.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Normally these type of books focus on you becoming better at how you manage stressful and difficult situations in life and if you apply in real life what you learn from these books then you will definitely become much better at how you asses your different situations including those related to gambling in general. Personally I have started to manage my money much better after reading a few of such books as they made me realize how much education one person needs about general money management, something that we don't take that seriously in school. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: DaNNy001 on June 14, 2025, 08:49:30 PM A long time ago, I used to work at a betting shop, and there were players who looked for favorable odds across different bookmakers. They developed strategies that allowed them to stay in profit no matter what. The trick was in taking advantage of the differences in odds. They usually placed large bets, and the bookmakers were aware of their methods. As a result, they weren’t allowed to place bets on all matches. There were instructions from above not to accept bets from certain individuals if the amount exceeded a specific limit. And if the bet was particularly large, it was mandatory to contact management for approval. So yes, such a system to limit these kinds of bettors has been around for quite a while. ;D ;) Isn't this the arbitrage betting system? Because I know that it's a forbidden system of gambling where they take advantage of the difference In odds between two bookmakers...This is something used by some bettors but my problem is, how do they know the right games to get that odd difference because it's not something that you can just get easily..I wonder why the bookmakers can't fix this loophole.

That's right, it is not easy to spot the huge differences from most bookies because the odds are also quickly changing from time to time.

A little bit of luck for sports betting, it's mostly through analysis, and how we can take advantage of the spreads or the handicaps. I also don't think there's such a thing as a talented gambler unless it's poker, because there are people who have the talent to bluff or make it look like a bluff. Poker is like playing chess with someone else. You will have to be 3 to 4 moves advance of the other guy. In sports betting, it's not talent, it's mostly hard work of checking updates every day, and also the love for the game that a gambler will bet on. He can effortlessly make a bet because he has an idea of what could happen due to the fact that he keeps himself updated with everything that is happening within the game.

Gambling is a probability thing, with the victory of course they have arranged it (casino owners) sometimes some say it is random but what is clear is that this also depends on our own luck. It is indeed rare and perhaps difficult to find someone who is born with an expert talent in gambling, with others there are several films that show some people who are experts in gambling but this is nothing more than a film which has been arranged as well as possible so that the main character seems to be an expert in gambling, but in the real world it is impossible for him to be good at gambling, no more than an ordinary player.Even if there are lucky days, it does not even last longer, lucky days are always one day, I haven't encountered consecutive two days of winning, always one day of luck. Imagine this, to be expecting a born winner, nah. Luck will definitely happen, I have experienced where I managed to withdraw victory three times in a day and that was with a fairly large amount in every withdrawal I made, and yes of course it was because I was lucky, because after that victory became a wild thing again that was difficult to get.

So I also think that gambling is very dependent on luck because it is much more feasible to expect through gambling because gambling does not require any talent for those who play it. Moreover, now everyone can gamble anywhere either through their smartphone or through other devices that can be connected to the internet, so talent is not needed at all.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

It wasn’t until our parents called us out that we understood what we were doing was actually gambling.
Gambling in my opinion is more of a behaviour that develops over time, shaped by our surroundings, mindset and emotional state. Some people say it’s all luck but I think it also comes down to experience, strategy and discipline. Still even with those the house always has the upper hand. Gambling sites promote big wins to attract people but when someone actually starts beating the odds consistently they get flagged or restricted. It just proves that these platforms aren’t really designed for us to win in the long run, they’re businesses and their goal is profit. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Gambling may appear as the game of chance, whereas it is, actually, mixed with a certain skill. Nevertheless, the casino games and betting are fashioned in such a manner that odds are always stacked against the player in the long perspectives. One may easily fall in the predicament of dreaming to win big, but this dream may lead to losses and addiction in no time. It is actually very vital to be smart and play within the limits since win-chasing mostly proves to be counter-productive only causing extra problems.The end of gambling is just about a loss, therefore always be careful in gambling, and never have high hopes for gambling, because it will only lead you to greater losses and addiction. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: shasan on August 02, 2025, 09:07:53 PM It is mostly about luck or statistical probabilities. Strategies can help improve your probabilities from winning, but that is usually just slight shifting. No poker strategy can save you if you end up on a very unlucky streak of cards. Some people end up exceptionally lucky for a while, but this can be balanced out with negative streaks. Nobody in the richest people list made it from gambling, and there is a reason for that as we have just stated. I am not sure how a strategy amy help to win on casino ior how it may increase the probability of winning on casino. It seems to me all the things are same and I think there is no unique way from which we might be winner or the chance of being winner mighrt not be changed.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Hazink on August 02, 2025, 09:15:30 PM It is great to hear that you are enjoying gambling while many people are disappointed by losses again and again. I also played while I was free, but nowadays, when I get free time, I spend my time on watching movies and dramas instead of gambling, though I have planned to start gambling once again soon. The sweet thing about gambling is when you are doing it at your own free time, not as if you owe your time to gamble. Those who feel disappointed with gambling are those who have put too much expectation on it and don’t get the expected result. They have no other option than to blame gambling and feel disappointed. The movie you watch in your free time gives you fun and entertainment, and whenever you feel like gambling, you do it because you want to and not because you have to.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

The reason there is a gambling age is that they want only mature people who will take full responsibility for their actions to gamble. Gambling is for mature minds and not people who like playing the blame game. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

In that situation, you'll be figuring out and finding ways to prevent them from gaining the key. What you do when you have knowledge and plan what you're going to do is another word for strategy. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: LastKiss on August 02, 2025, 10:24:26 PM I don't know if such topics has been existing for now but it's something worth discussing about. We know that naturally gambling isn't an inborn skill or something like gift that is gifted while being birth. We assumed that other thing could be gifted, such as books, skills and the ability to rectify technical issues. But for gambling I haven't seen anyone who is gifted in that area where such people (person's) would keep winning for long run and even if that is possible do you think whether the gambling site beit local gambling do place restriction or limits on such persons? I've never seen anyone who always wins at gambling even in games where strategy matters more than luck. For someone to consistently win, it’s like destiny and skill have to align perfectly. I’ve never thought of myself as one of those people. When I first discovered a gambling site, I just tried it out with a small amount of money. I ended up doubling it, and that made me think maybe gambling can be fun too. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

No one can win consistently except they found a way to hack the system because getting lucky everyday is impossible...Most bookies normally check the wins of customers if you are winning more than what you lose they would assume that you are cheating, this tells you that the system is built on taking from gamblers.. Gambling is not a scam but no one can deny the fact that it's a losing game Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Gambling is not a scam but no one can deny the fact that it's a losing game And even if a gambler has found a way to hack the system that will make them win constantly, the system won’t remain open forever; it will be discovered, and the loophole covered, which will make them go back to placing bets and losing just like others. Even in a winning streak, if the bookie suspects that you are cheating and runs some investigations, if there is no proof of cheating, then the gambler will be freed from the allegations. But it will only be a matter of time before they prove to the bookie that there is nothing special, just luck. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Platinumys on August 03, 2025, 07:28:49 PM Yes, I clearly remember how I started gambling, I first learned about gambling from my friend, then I saw various gambling-related videos online, so I was curious to gamble, but I didn't know where to gamble, so I asked my friend who I learned about gambling for some help, then he gave me a nice suggestion. My friend's suggestion was that since I already watch games or keep track of different sports, he told me that you should do sports betting. I started gambling with some basic ideas about sports betting and till now my gambling has been going on continuously. I enjoy every moment of sports betting and I enjoy this gambling. The experience of gambling in the beginning has changed now, but the fun aspect of gambling still remains.
Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling? Post by: Z_MBFM on August 03, 2025, 07:36:15 PM I have seen someone that is gifted in betting before. He will compete with people in table tennis and he always win everyone around him. Also those that are good in particular games or sport can be examples if they bet with money. Some people have very good luck and what they predict and what they say comes true. Maybe this is a benefit of their luck. I have seen this in many places where someone bets their money according to the words of others whose prediction skills are very good although I do not believe that someone can do well in gambling through their prediction skills. Because in gambling I think everything depends on a good luck. I have gambled a lot and lost a lot of money which has hurt me a lot financially yet I do not blame any person or casino for my losses I just think it is my bad luck and my wrong decision.If it is gambling and betting sites, no one can win their house edge and the way they set odds which are enough to make enough money from gamblers. Some people that won huge amount of money but just at once is not because they are better than other gamblers but they are only lucky. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

You know, when I first came across this comment I was actually thinking that you are referring to sport betting not until you mentioned table tennis. and sure, there are people like that even in golf we have people who are professionals in this Fields but I think sport betting is never to be compared with this because I have never seen someone that is gifted in sport betting, those who are proclaiming that they're professionals gamblers are just lucky to win, because if they are professional as they think they would've being profiting from gambling without seizing.

But I think before starting any gambling, we should avoid any types of expectation.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

But I think before starting any gambling, we should avoid any types of expectation. Very correct it's best that gamblers shouldn't gamble with high expectations, that's why they should only gamble with money they can afford to lose, with the idea of entertaining themselves with it, with that they won't get upset since they're not expecting much from what they've staked on. It's a very big risk to take gambling as a means of earning to sustain daily needs cause with that mindset the gamblers expectations would be very high and when they lose they get very upset and want to recover it thereby inviting addiction gradually till they finally get addicted to it, gambling is best for fun and entertainment not the other way round.Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

It is good to have high expectations in life but not in gambling because only that expectations will make one strive more even when they are suppose to stop. So we should know the kind of expectations we should have as a gambler so that it doesn't push us into doing the wrong thing. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?

Gambling is not a scam but no one can deny the fact that it's a losing game Bookies are very smart business companies, they don't want to lose all they have to gamblers which a good thing but sometimes they are over protective and that's bad. When you make deposit into the casino to make some money and you play and then loss, they don't bother to run any verification check before they empty your account but wait until it's time to credit your account when you win, they will ask you to wait for some hours or even day for verification and that's very annoying, numbers don't lie I think. There is another one they do that annoys me because I have once been there victim before. I had one game among other multiple bets that I had with second half over 1.5, this game was played the way I expected it but when I checked, I saw my bet as loss. I reach out to the customer care and this guys never responded, I had to drag the Casino on X to check my game and that was how they found about the mistake. If everything is automated about win, this mistakes shouldn't be a problem for verification. Title: Re: Have you ever think of how you started gambling?
