[POLL]How old were you when you made your first bet?

I noticed few topics about this without poll, and i am really curious.
I have my opinion on this one, but i would like to see is it correct so i created a poll and i will share my thoughts after poll expires.

Poll will run for few days and i will close this topic after it.

I was exposed to slots at a very young age. I think i was around 11 then and as a kid, seeing the lights and sounds of a slot machine in a bar actually is very attractive so my friends and i spent our allowances playing though we really don't know how it works yet exactly. It stopped when the owner saw us and we weren't allowed to play with the slot machine anymore

I was about 21 I think. I suppose that's quite late to get into gambling based on the average age today.

I started to make my first bet when I was under 18. If I can remember it right I guess I'm 10 years old by that time. I was a sports man way back then and I'm addicted to play basketball with my friends. And every time we play we use to do some side betting and that started my eyes to be opened with gambling.

I started gambling when I was approx 19. My brother used to do soccer parlays so it interested me too.

I made my first bet when I was under 18 it was just for fun because it was the last day of school when that happened. Me and my friends formed a dota team and challenged other teams with stakes on the line. While the match was happening sudden I was kinda nervous at the time because it was my first time playing competitively and risked my money at the same time, good thing that we manage to win at the end so it's all good.

Your opinion is a result of your experience and is shaped bye your beliefs.
Do you really consider changing your mind to match more popular approach when majority of people here would express a different opinion?

When I first time placed a bet I was over 18 years old.
But I have no problem with minors gambling, as long as they do it with their own earned money and are aware of the risk.

i remember when i was 20 year old that me and my friends are playing blackjack and they also teach me how to playing it and probably on that day was my lucky day because even first time i playing blackjack but i got huge winning from it

Over 18 is my answer. When I was under 18 I am still at school and had no spare money. My parents arent so rich and they can afford to give me only small amount of money to fulfill my daily needs. So, I can't do gambling, smoking, playing video game etc that most of my friend did. I did gamble and everything that I can't do in my childhood after I got a steady income from my daily job.

I was 20 years old when i tried to gambling when i was this year i always trying so hard to win from the faucet that i get from gambling i have so much time to spend on . My first gambling was high low where i was remembered that day when im earning satoshi from freebitco.in

I can see that most of you were adults. It was the same with me. I used to gamble for fun, without money, with things like sweets or favors, but my first real gambling bet was at 20 or 21.
I don't know why it didn't happen earlier, maybe because my friends weren't into it. Nobody that I knew had gambling experiences when I was a child and I had no interest in trying it by myself.

I was 19 when i made my first bet, the bet i made was not with fiat but with bitcoins. Grin

it was bitcoin that got me into gambling lol.

I think i made my first bets when i was 19-20 years old. (So i picked Over 18).
I am fan for sports games, I watching all days football and i love it, so I started to do that to test myself about my knowledge and luck.

the first time of my bet is over 18, i do this after i know bitcoin and i can using other coins to playing gambling. but if its not for the first gambling games that i am played, i think i am do it in under 18 but i am make my bets with my friends and its not the games like we've know and played. in that time, i don't made to the games, but something others outside of my online life and its a long time ago before i know internet.

It depends on what bet you are talking but I think in my case it wouldn't really matter,
We used to play marbles,Pog's and cards when we were kids so basically the games would do some bets,
And if you are talking about bet's with money I think I did my first when I was in Elementary.

I made my first bet only after 30 years. After came to know about bitcoins and my first bet was on cricket game on directbet site. I was very comfortable to bet without any account to create so I bet around 0.1 BTC that time and won the bet. It gave me a good excitement that time.

i was exposed to gamble when i was in high school as i love playing cards with my friends we just doing it for fun and the winnings will go to a beer party after the game ended, but now that i'm inside crypto i'm playing with sports betting every other day when the team I'm following got a game i do some good review before playing the bet.

I remember pitching coins in junior high so at age 14 or 15 maybe. I also played poker with friends in high school starting freshman year at age 17. There was no internet/online casinos when I was still under the legal gambling age in my country.

I engage to gambling when i was in highschool on which a particular local gambling game in our place like coin toss which the result would be a head or tails and when you choose a particular side and it choses on what you selected then you win. It might be new for some but this game totally considered as gambling since it does involve money.

I was exposed to gambling at a young age. My father was a avid gambler/sport bettor. I remember playing street kind of baccarat like 12 years old or less and I'm against an adult. They taught they could out hassle me and I even saw them cheating. HaHaHa. But they area all wrong baby!!!. I won a good amount of money, then someone whispers to me that my mom is looking for me Grin

so its game over for them. My father really was a big influence and the environment during that time was ripe for street gambling.
