Beginner's Luck

[harizen]

Is there such a thing as Beginners Luck? If we accept that there really is a Beginners Luck, how many beginners competed in a competition relying only on what they know and the so called beginners luck. If am a beginner, do you think no one will give me an advise on banking on the "Beginners Luck" and try my hand on gambling? Or someone shouting in a casino and say hey we have a beginner here, anyone want's to ride on his bets? I guess there's none.

You are being serious here. Just ride the "beginners luck" experienced by others around.

Basically and obviously there's no such thing as that, I mean no scientific explanation that it really happened, but we can't hide the fact that a great numbers of gamblers experienced that kind of phenomena. I also experienced that lots of times in a gambling game where that's my first time to try it.

Beginners luck doesn't always mean that you don't have idea about the whole gambling. It means that you will try your luck on a certain gambling game for the first time and if you are definitely lucky, then people can called it as their beginner's luck.

I am the person that don't believe beginner luck until I experienced it by myself, I went to land casino for the first time and try my luck on baccarat table, at that time I don't really understand the rules, the only thing I know is to bet player, banker or tie, I bet based on my feeling and win 5 times in a row, which is really surprising for me and I witnessed my friends that went to casino for the first time bring back profit, so I guess the beginner's luck is exist

There's no such thing as luck, yet people love to talk about various types of it. SMH

[supermine]

Honestly,I am having harder time in the gambling even I don't have muck luck in the beginning so for me no beginner's luck.

Maybe it is just a coincidence thing,since the luck can come at any time and anything can be possible at any time so we never know what will happen even at the first bets,maybe some people will hit jackpots.

Its all in our mind. However, I have also experienced this so called beginners luck years ago. We went to a landbased casino, but didn't bet, I just wanted to get a feel on the environment, looking and observing some slots machine. And then my wife shows me how to bet, the lines and everything, just spend around $20 and see how it goes. I make up like $200 or $400 that night and I was very elated. Sadly though its the start of my addiction to land based casino. The house will let you win at the beginning and with luck at your side what could possibly go wrong? LOL

everyone would expect luck in playing gambling, when I first played gambling the things I felt were a lot of loss because I didn't understand how to play it. a beginner must feel difficult when he first gambles, because he has not mastered the game and does not play using a mature strategy

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I observed there is no such thing as beginners luck. I think when you are gambling and you do not know how to gamble well you just go with the flow and do whatever you want, when you lose you just lose and no one bats an eye because everyone loses anyway.

However, when as a beginner you win than it makes a great story so you tell everyone and everyone that hears calls it beginners luck and ignore all the millions of people losing when they first started. We just hear that 1% that won when they first started. After a while you keep gambling and eventually lose like everyone else, hence think that when you started as a beginner you had beginners luck. That is all there is to it, nothing else.

This is the key point, and this kind of bias happens frequently in our everyday lives. When don’t manage data objectively, we are biased, and we tend to believe stories like that one, the beginner’s luck.

had the same experience when i was new to the gambling world i performed reverse martingale without any idea how the buttons work and i didnt realize i was winning the whole time performing it, i had a good profit from it, i dont think everyone would ever experience beginners luck its all about the luck.

Let's talk about something like this, what is the first thing that comes into your mind whenever you hear about the word "Beginner's Luck", Well, I'm here to share one of my experiences back then when I was new to gambling, It was nasty, I had a great time gambling in my first day at the casino, I was very shy and was definitely scared to lose my money if things didn't go out well, but luckily, I had the opposite thing that I was expecting, there was no strategy used, I simply just played, and I honestly won a lot of games, and have made a lot of profit, they called me a beginner with luck in my hands, socialized with the people around me, and have made a lot of progress in gambling, though I do not have settled my mind in full-time gambling and will try to limit myself as much as possible.

How about you? What were your experiences back then when you were still starting to learn how to gamble?

Nice story, but I have never been that lucky the very first time I gambled I lost 50 dollars, it was not a lot of money and it did not alter my lifestyle at all but losing is always painful the worst part was that for most of my session I was up and it seemed like I will leave the casino with some profits since at that time I was mostly playing blackjack.

But then my friends decided to play craps and I lost that money, after that experience I decided to investigate a little further in the math behind the games and  realized very fast why that was the case, the house edge in the game of blackjack can be very low, but in a game of craps it depends on the type of bets you make and I made some of the worst in terms of odds and that is why I lost money so fast.

It is natural that in beginning every is excited and want to make the maximum money and in that enthusiasm without knowing any rules games or ticks, they start placing bets in anticipation that they will win and double the money as it is very easy to win it.

This reminds me of the old tale that casinos would place a slot machine in the lobby which had higher chances of winning in order to lure gamblers inside their casino.  I'm sure these type of things happen with sketchy underground type casinos online but any fair casino would have the same odds no matter if you are a newbie or a veteran.

[Biscutard]

Well it happens once in our life so basically you are lucky to experience it in the casino because some of us are only good at it when playing without bets but when we do we tend to lose a lot.

You sure is lucky enough for that experience and i'm hoping i might be able to attain that luck too.

Few words which explain in a very clear way what's Beginner's Luck in a dice Casino betting site:

- Starting off with a clean probabilistic chance without much % of a big red streak.

This phenomenon, even though it seems like a complete superstition, may have a logical explanation. I think so, because my first experience in poker and roulette were very lucky, so lucky that not everyday now, after all this years I can make such a scoop. This, however, didn't happen as I played dice games as a newbie (another fact, which proves that intelligence affects the output in gambling games, like poker). So, the explanation is that whenever one plays for the first time he doesn't risk as much due to lack of knowledge and bluffing experience and the less you risk - the more you can win. An experienced player undergoes what is called "Woe from Wit": he thinks and and tries to estimate so much that he cannot notice some obvious things, or can be too confident in some things that for a fact are uncertain and so on.

And this chance drops by 99,99% after this lucky shot.
Beginners luck is not only winning but scoring high at the same time, such thing is extremely rare

Nice analysis.

Unfortunately, my first luck was bad luck I lost like 150$ on sport bettings. I took advice from betting tips on mobile apps but they didn't work . But then I recover my money by help of mine idea

Beginner's luck. I think that this is most likely what hooks up people into gambling, actually.
If you're a beginner and win a lot of money easily, you'll think it's easy, and that you are able to make it happen.

So you'll try and try again to make the same thing happen.
This can be dangerous.

I know gambling because of this forum.
My first gambling site was primedice and when they launch massive promo, it was encourage me to gamble and finally I played one of their promo which was "high risk high reward"

When I bet 1000 sat/ber on less than 500 rolls, it was hit 0.09 !!
Of course that was my first huge profit in my life for the first time !

Hmm, that must have been really nice but since its all about keeping the theme of the topic, I'd assume no more big wins followed after that. And I wonder whether that initial beginner luck was in any way manipulated just to get you hooked on?

It can only be dangerous if a gambler does not set limits for himself,does not control his emotions anymore that will more likely to be greedy.I think beginner's luck does happen to everyone here but knowing gambling,everything is uncertain.Maybe today you're lucky to win all those games you played,but tomorrow might be different already.

I can barely remember the first time that I gamble but I'll share one of my experience when I was a beginner way back then and became lucky to win a poker table with my uncle. This didn't happened on a casino its like a relatives-friends game. I'm just watching and my uncle let me have a sit and asked me if I know how to read and play with the cards. Since I've been watching many times, I said yes and he let me get the hand for many times and luckily I've got 3 streak wins.
