Do you remember your first sports bet?

[alisafidel58]

If my memory serve me right, I think it was a dota 2 battle 3 years ago and i bet on 24bet.com (not sure if its still active). I cant really recall that much since it was a long time ago and the bet that i did was quite small (no big deal).

I cant even remember the teams that did battle on that day, i think it was liquid against some lower tier teams.


The experience was fun as a first timer on betting online while watching the team you are aiming for to win. But somehow i decided to bet on some football and amateur boxing match which i know nothing about and lost a couple of dollar a long with the great experience of enjoying the fight.

I remember it long time ago. It was NBA finals that time and I put my bet to Miami Heat in which at that time they have Lebron James. I was able to put my bet through my friend. I don't know any online sportsbetting that time. Through that bet, I was able to multiply my bet into two. That's the reason why I got an interest to go into online sportsbetting.

All predictions I did  came out right and I won over X5 of my money back, maybe I should have just gone back home or keep back a little money if I must play again but I put back all the money I won and that was how I lost it all again.

This is a perfect newbie mistake and everyone will have a similar story like this. The beginning bet almost everyone wins but then you become over confident and thinking about pursuing this on a daily basis and end up losing everything.
I started out for fun when you could make bets through landline phone for cricket matches a really really long back.

through directbet.

Woah, I remember this casino they've been gone for so long.

i bet on 24bet.com (not sure if its still active)

They aren't active anymore.

I do remember, I placed my first bet on IPL 2015 (don't remember particular match though) through directbet.

Waoh nice.  Can you share your experience on that IPL, did you lose or win? I wish I can also share a first bet date but unfortunately I have never had a betting experience but I intend to do that soon and I am very hopeful that it will come out successful. I have given friends tips and predictions on matches a couple of times that have worked out for them and they keep asking why I haven’t tried, so I am thinking of starting soon and maybe when I do, I would be back to share.

I placed a bet of over 10 teams in one ticket. The stake was also high. Now these were only top teams from top leagues and that weekend I remember having thoughts of how I was going to be rich so soon 😂😂
I lost massively.

Local basketball game. I guess most of us started with local sports bet and depending in what sport is popular from where you are. I've been an avid basketball fan and i used to bet on each and every basketball game every other day. I didn't really make money from it but it was fun for starters.

[ChrisPop]

I remember a sports parlay with around 25 events that I placed around 10 years ago. My stake was only around $0.50 and guess what? I've won it! There was such a joy on me, omg..  My payment was over $450. That would be a multiplier of x900 of my stake. Imagine placing 10 bucks on that!

Never tried sport betting before. I thought it was difficult to win so I never bothered betting on sports like football.. By the way , sport doesn't interest me so much. Been long I watched any

I cant remember my first one... but one of my first big wons gambling with BTC was with UFC 188 when the underdog Werdum destroys Cain Velasquez by a submission.

It's no difficult to win but you need to be constant monitoring the sport.

This is my story about how once I finally muscled up the courage to place a “huge bet” I was trolled by the sports betting gods for a merciless 6 hours and 5 minutes. At the end of my story, I hope you will be able to understand the intense thrill and rush one experiences when actually watching the game unfold before their own eyes and how you should never – ever – consider a bet “in the bag” before the game has actually ended, because if you do, you may experience something like I did – shenanigans come in all shape and sizes, and miracles tend to happen just at the right moment when you have your big bet on…sometimes for a thrilling joyride of emotion when you’re on the positive end of the outcome and other times for an end result of frustration, disappointment, and complete and total shock when you are on the losing side of it.

Seriously i don't remember it as you remember it because my first bet loss was not too much that's why i forget it. But your first bet was your first experience that's why you still remember it. We can't forget our bad experience or big loss in gambling.

This month I think. That was the first time and with the very low risk, I took. Well, it can be said that it may be a very beginner activity in gambling. Well, sport bet may be very risky, however, we know how the percentage of us to win the betting. And my first experience was, I'm lost.

That is nice man. I assume you would have need millions of dollar in these last ten years. My first gambling experience had been in sports and it was a failure. But to be honest, I have been able to improve very much and it is your experience that helps you rise again. You do detailed analysis of the team you pick in gambling and predict the possible win. It is always a thrill when the match comes to the last stages.

Yes I was betting football that time and bet on seville vs. barcelona. Unfortunately I lost it. However, after some.bettings with other matches had made.me won some of it. So, there is really no regret and betting or even playing in casino is not that bad at all like to what other always saying about playing or gambling.

Now, since there are upcoming events like in the NBA so it will be a lot of fun in betting. I jusy hope that I get the right choice and manage to earn or win on  the bet.

Thanks for sharing your story OP. Mine seems less dramatic by comparison. It was a basketball bet. Don't remember the details coz it was way back in grade school. Yup, people start betting early where I live.

Basically there are these people in the neighborhood going around collecting bets (they get all the money if no one wins) and anyone can bet. My uncle pretty much used to watch every game and bets and so I tried it myself. Didn't win anything.

I don't remember my first bet but I remember the first time that I won my bet.
It was that time of the week that I was expecting to sit in my desk read some details about matches and bet in order to relax from the hectic pace of the week.
I selected 4 matches and I was busy that I couldn't track the results at that day so I managed to see if I won my bets the day after. When I realized that I won I was so happy that I called immediately my brother to announce it.
Sadly, this was the time that I started betting and gambling more!

This is really nice and you won the bet that sounds nice as I can feel you as I felt the same when I won the bet of cricket match between Pakistan and India, to be honest I was not expecting to win because this was my first time for betting but I was confident about the abilities of the players I was expecting to win of, and that was right i won and I still can feel that joy.

Those days when there's no online betting and most of the sports game that held by someone who holds the list of people who bet.

Ahhh gold and old days!
