Right or Wrong Way :How did you start your gambling journey and how is it going?

[libert19]

I thought it was going to be another post asking, 'how did you start to gamble', but it had twist to it, which was nice to see.

Anyway, I started the 'wrong way', but eventually learned to gamble the 'right way'.

There are few comments here who mention they started the 'right way' — I must call 'em wise  

I started gambling when I was a kid, it was not initially money but toys.  I see my neighbor playing and betting with their toys and got curious.  It was called "kalog tansan" where each participant have their own "pamato" that involves a battle cap (pamato), shaking them altogether,  and throwing them in the air, the one that lands on a different face than the rest wins. So curiosity triggers me to start my gambling journey.

I can say that I started gambling in neither of the options but then later shifted to win, since in this gambling with toys, the aim is literally to win the toys of the opponent.  It goes on until I started gambling with money.  Yes, there is fun in there, but still the desire to win can't be removed.  I bet all of the gamblers here wanted to win. I don't think it was wrong, but one should implement self-discipline and bet not what they can't afford to lose.

Well, in that case, I also started 'gambling' much earlier then, we used to play cards amongst friends and there would be this cricket players and wwe wrestler stickers at stake.

Honestly, I started on the wrong foot, but eventually learned to correct my ways, and so far I’m doing well and observing the best practice to be a responsible gambler.

How about you? How did you start, and how’s it going so far

I made the popular first wrong step years back, I lost everything and quickly learnt from my lesson. The fact is many people did the same thing as me but many don't know how to learn from it.

Since that day I knew that gambling isn't for everyone and if you enjoy the game instead it's better to lower the money you want to risk on gambling, there is no way you will go back home empty handed, you lose your money you have some fun.

I started preffering to have a good time and not try to force things out, so far I have had some series of good wins and many losses too but the fun experience was worth it.

yeah,, most people do not get off to a good start, we just dive in to chase wins or publicity.  Early initiation, particularly during adolescence, increases the likelihood of developing gambling problems later on.  And could you imagine what will happen if you having gamblers all around you! !  Casual bettors may be pushed into trouble areas by the pressure of social norms.  Bravo for advancing from a bad start to a wise move.  Games ought to be enjoyable, not life sustaining.  So continue tracking behaviours, establishing boundaries & exercising responsible flex.

I was like that myself. When I first started gambling, I was intrigued by it after seeing my friends win firsthand. So, my initial goal when gambling was to try my luck, but that goal actually trapped me into an addiction that made it difficult to get out, leading to unwanted experiences. But that experience made me aware of how to be better in the future.
Perhaps some people who gamble and struggle to come to their senses need to experience something similar to mine to realize that gambling doesn't have to be about winning.

As far as I remember I played gambling games when I was still young with my friends, like tongits, pusoy, lucky 9 and some games in cards. When I am in forum, which engaged in signature primarily with gambling Id realized I need to be more engage with this as I need it, so I tried the crypto gambling online and there I discovered more games and how gamblings work. Now I am most keen on doing gambling on physical casino since its give me fulfilling emotions to play and relax at the same time. Im mostly play on Solaire North the one closes to my place.

I started playing out of curiosity. And my beginning comes from this forum; constantly reading the section on gambling, I could not resist trying everything to my taste. Moreover, I attracted my friends; now we sometimes play together, but it does not go beyond the boundaries of entertainment to any passion or gambling addiction. There were no big wins, but sometimes the games are very addictive; however, I do not think that I am destined to fall into the clutches of gambling. I have too many other needs to spend all the money exclusively on games.

i know you are not a gambler right from day one. you are just being curious to gamble to gather experience out of curiosity since you are promoting a gambling campaign. because i could vividly recall when you are in bestchange that was not into gambling, hardly you come to the gambling section,  and any other post here was a shit and spamming post to you . but however life is unpredictable, it is good you gamble to have some gambling experience if not to make money but to gain knowledge and know what to say in conversation like this.

I still remain myself while gambling and I have been maintaining a responsible gambling practice without becoming addicted to gambling or even thought that gambling could make me rich overnight, I don't know if because I have already been hinted or oriented about gambling right time before me taking that bold step to start gambling so I had it at the back of mind to gamble responsibly because then I was always told that I shouldn't placed much priorities to gambling because it is capable of destroying someone's life if time is not taking so I should avoid what would make feels to attracted and addicted to gambling instead I should take it as something to catch cruise while playing it, whether I win or lose I shouldn't for any reason regrets why I lose such amount because i should gambling with the amount I can accept to lose.

It is true that gambling cannot be a part of one's life, it is not at all right to gamble to get back lost money, it is better to gamble with the money we can afford to lose, so that there is no additional financial pressure on ourselves. Gambling is not a scheme to earn money for entertainment or to get rich quick. Greed leads people to destruction, thinking of quick profits increases the chances of losing money through gambling many times. When we gamble primarily for entertainment, we can actually enjoy the fun of gambling.

That's right. You know, I am constantly convinced that everything we reject, and reject with confidence, can sooner or later come into our lives. You don't have to be categorical to judge what we don't know and don't understand. I realized this after I started trying to play gambling games with friends, a little bit after reading posts about how people do have a chance to win, and what's more, they win. Honestly, it's a lot of fun for me. I don't spend huge amounts of money; I have a family, and I can't afford to do it, but the fact that games are addictive and can be very interesting is definitely true. In short, now I try to be more restrained in my assessments. You've rightly noticed that to communicate in this section, you need to have an idea of ​​the subject, and I don't regret that I began to look at things differently than I didn't understand before.

I started gambling with the intentions of making money but I realized along the line that it was just a dream that can not be achieved because gambling is not a source of income and it can never be a great source to depend upon as your source of income. Right now, I am only gambling with the amount of money that I can afford to lose and I am also gambling for fun, without being too expectant of the profit.

Frankly speaking, I do see gambling as an instant access getting me rich. So I started with higher bets believing that if I could win, I could also make a bigger amount that could make me highly profitable instantly. But I end up losing a huge amount instead. That’s when I realized that I’m actually gambling the wrong way.

Honestly, even today I still find it hard controlling my emotions not to bet too much amount, certainly because I’m just a human being who easily get tempted and attracted to bigger offers. But with all those previous losses in the past, I’m trying to be more disciplined right now and manage my emotions just like what a pro gambler should do.

There’s nothing wrong if your goal is to win money because that’s exactly make you entertained when gambling. Thinking that you will always lose will just make you suffer on gambling rather than enjoy it.

Just remember to follow your realization that risk only what you can afford to lose but that doesn’t mean you will kill your hunger to win the game and just gave your money to the casino.

We are talking about that we have chances to win but not that high and consistently in the long run.

Right way: You just want to have fun, and you are fully aware of the risks and consequences if you cannot control how you gamble.

Wrong way: You started to gamble because you are attracted to significant wins, and you think you can come out with a good method

How about you? How did you start, and how’s it going so far?

I started gambling for fun, so based on how you define the right and the wrong way, I guess I'm on the right track until now. I had friends who gamble for profit, and since I saw firsthand that focusing only on winning at all costs can be a total disaster for everyone around you, I decided that's not for me. I still believe that gambling for fun without chasing the dream is far better, and without such consequences. I won't change my perspective, and I will always play for fun and not to become a millionaire.

Gambling for fun is far more preferable than gambling for money and this is the difference between the two. When you gamble for fun, you take minimal risk, less expectations and less emotional attachment thsn when you gamble for money. When you're doing it solely for the money, it makes it easier for you to risk more funds into it and have more expectations around it. Gambling for money is good but gambling for fun is the best because even when you gamble for fun, you are still going to make money out of it. During the gambling exercise, if the intention is tied towards having fun, the gambler becomes more competitive but less emotionally drained which serves more of an advantage to you.

The first time I ever gambled, it was a non-skill game. I can remember like it was yesterday when a lady urged me register and play too using her referral link. She claimed she has won huge amount of money already, so I can try as well. It was on my mobile phone, all I needed to do was to spin. First attempt spinning, I had the beginner's luck that ruined everything. After the first win, I kept playing but kept losing my money gradually until I lost interest in the game. The money I played with was not much so it was easy for me to quit unbothered.

Right now, sport betting interests me but truly, I am not dependent on the money I will make from betting on sports. I don't even bet often.

I begun my gambling journey without knowing what I was doing. It was through dice game, and it didn't make sense for me at first glance, because the more I rolled the dice, more money I lost, so I didn't get why someone would wish to risk money on that.

Then I was introduced to Martingale strategy and everything finally made sense for me. I thought I had finally found a pretty decent and solid method to make money on the internet, despite having only few satoshis under my disposal. It was just a matter of time until those few satoshis turned into a considerable amount of money.

As you can see, I started gambling not only on the wrong way, but also for the wrong reasons... Only after I lost money I changed my mindset, so I stopped chasing profits through this activity.
