What really influenced you to gambling

[Desmong]

I could remember when I was young, I was an introvert then cause I don't really like mingling with school friends because I believed that they could currupt me because my mum used to tell me then that Show me your friends and I will tell you whom you are...which always guide through the attempt of gathering friends.

A very good day in school then, I was unable to find my feeding and transport money in my bag so had to beg my fellow class mates for fund to feed and transport myself back home. Surprisingly to me, friend gave me 5× the initial amount I lost and promised to give more if I request. This is how my urge for gambling started because I couldn't imagine what the hell he would have gotten that money.

I started gambling cause my quest for more money intrigued and I started making few penny from my school days. I almost got an addiction but controlled it with the help of parents, left gambling then later came back fully with a preserved mindset. I have no regrets cause my gain is more than the loses...who would I commit my offerings to? If you are not making success, pls have a rethink!
$2 profit is better than -0.0000012 lose...Gamble responsibly

One of the reasons why I got the push to play gambling is because of curiosity there are a lot of people already sharing their profits and they multiplier they got on the game also just a single sit of a game they can double their money well it's true but the risk is there even though it has I still tried to play gambling and the first week goes well but sometimes we are having a hard time half of my profit losses because of becomes greedy and urging to payback my profit again. Now I handle my self and consciousness on gambling limit so I can manage properly when to play and when to stop.

No one influence but having lack of money during my childhood really push me to gamble my small allowance just to buy what I want. I believe no one will encourage you unless you will show a sign to other people that you like gambling. For example is my uncle who's addicted to gambling, he never encouraged me gamble because he didn't know that I'm gambling but when he knows already that I'm gambling, He is the one who always inviting me to play to the casino.

Life is funny and full of challenges! Just imagine when you are hanging out with your friends and everyone is talking about how they were able to win different amount of money with little funds, it'll gonna make you to start asking questions on how you can also be a part of teem. Gambling can be very interesting when it's done in group then everyone talking about there own success or failures on how they either won a game or lose to the pool.

What really influenced me to play gambling at first was my school friends
I wonder why they can make money without asking their parents. Coincidentally at that time, there was a world cup, so I tried to bet with my favorite team, at that time my favorite team was Italy

After making pretty decent money for myself at that time from bet on the world cup, I tried to play soccer betting on PS2, when it was booming in my home area
Gambling has become a habit of mine and it's hard to get rid of

If someone is gambling for the purpose of making huge money and/or if gambling becomes the only source of income, it will be a too addiction to get out of it even. I have heard recently that people play Axie games to survive with their family; well, it was a great earning source but it never means to be a job. Some people go beyond and take gambling as a daily job; eventually, they have to lose a lot of wealth as well as their precious time and ended with huge depression.
Most of the times, it was nothing but fun to me. I used to place bets on soccer and cricket matches which I still do but if I lose for a lot of matches, I simply quit, take a break and start again with good mood. I have never felt something like addiction in gambling. It always was meant to be fun to me; fun to win & to lose.

It's always with the influence of our friends. Usually, that's the reason why someone has got into gambling. If it is not with our friends then it's us that have done it on our own due to the fact that we want to make money quickly.
With those times that we've tried and we seemed to be winning, that's all where it all started. No one could stop us then if we've already seen the idea that if we just keep winning, we're going to have a lot of money.

I never though i could gamble because there was no way i could use my credit card on the gambling sites. I would have the fear of getting caught as gambling was not considered good to be done publicly in my area. However, later when i was introduced to the bitcoin and crypto, i have an easy access to the gambling sites and started playing gambling and betting. That was how i started playing gambling though i was not influenced by anyone.

Sometimes friends share some big wins and make me envy ~XD.

However, right now I can really control my gambling problem. Well, I don't really have debt because gambling so don't really got any trouble on financial side, the only things i want to handle my gambling activity not to often.

I'm asked to my father/family to store my fund to them with the reason have some problem with my bank, not really tell to them I'm really doing a gamble. But, anyway is work already more than 1 month half.

This is how I got into gambling my friend managed to win around $45000 dollars and ever since then I have been chasing that kind of money. I am not that lucky I have lost hundreds of dollars a year but it does make the things I bet on better and more enjoyable to watch. I cannot blame it on my friend completely he won that money a couple of months before I went to Vegas and then I started on the slots when I went there it was a accumulation of being exposed to big money but I never won any.

The most basic thing is Curious, first curious to see other people gambling without seeing the loss. Second, as if the money generated from gambling is very easy to get, when the more you feel curious about the profits generated from gambling, you will definitely be encouraged and want to try your luck. Finally, from the seeds of curiosity, someone who without learning how to control gambling will fall into the trap of not having self-defense and controlling emotions.
Then another reason, the love of the game can also encourage someone to enter the gambling room. Poker is gambled, sports can be gambled, anything at this time can be gambled.

In my opinion, besides wanting to get more profit, maybe as entertainment. Because not a few of the gamblers who make it a habit as entertainment every weekend. Curiosity when losing continues to haunt, that's the beginning where we got to know gambling and became heavy addicts, so we continued to encourage gambling every time we got money. even only $10 would be at stake. The feeling of desire multiplies into a very strong impetus.

[RILWAN]

The quest to cash some fun draws my attention to gambling back then. Before I learnt how to gamble for profit making, I started gambling just for fun as an also spend some cents on bear and cigarettes.

but when I discovered gambling intending to make some profits, I doubled my hustles in gambling.

It's hard to remember the first interaction I had with gambling, but it was probably the lottery. Seeing all the hype around it, as it was advertised in most shops and there is a weekly draw on TV was probably the most basic influence. The idea of paying a small amount with the chance to convert it into millions is of course very alluring. However if you are realistic about it, the odds have steadily gotten worse over the years as the owners of it have gotten more greedy. In many ways though, everyone will have a gambling experience at some point in their life and it might be better for you to come to the realization that it a) takes a lifetime of dedication to master one of the few gambling games that are skill based or b) that the average player is simply not going to win more than their stake back, if they're lucky.

It's the people surrounding me, way back, I am not aware of online gambling but I really started at a minor age, playing card games then eventually when I have a chance to gamble on sports I found a platform that I could deposit money to gamble, but that time I'm already an adult but I would not be interested in gambling if not because of my childhood experience.

[KTChampions]

I think that, like everyone else, the initial interest in gambling was driven by the dream of making a lot of money easily. But I quickly realized that this was unrealistic (thank God I already had a good knowledge of mathematics and was able to figure out the essence of the process). After that, there was little interest, such as testing different strategies and entertainment, such as betting on some sports events.

^ We are exactly the same, before I don't have any idea how to gamble online but when I came across it here in the forum and most of my friends also gambled online, I was also influenced by them. Seeing that they win big amounts in gambling makes me push to gamble because of earning and until such time comes I gambled alone. But luckily, we have here a forum discussion that makes me aware of possible negative outcomes from gambling. Nevertheless, to become short story short gambling for me is just only for having fun and it is seldom it will happen that I gamble straight for more than 8 hours, but betting made you relax, after placing a bet, that is it, you may leave the site and comeback when there is the result.

I remember being curious at the young age on how to earn and double my money, so this situation force me to gamble. In my local, there’s a lot of young gamblers playing the cards even if its illegal since gambling become legal in my place ok every funeral. So I get used and exposed to gambling since then, until now some of my friends are asking me to come with them and do gambling, well I don’t see that as an influence rather its more on a socializing with my friends.

This is also where I started gambling, and I remember playing Chinese Poker and Bingo along with my parents, this is pretty legal during that time and until today. We’re into gambling, my relatives and even my own family but we didn’t play on Casinos, I’m just the only one who are exposed in online gambling and the casinos, there’s no influence with my parents but when I grow up, I started to realize the real value of gambling and this is the time I have to avoid gambling as much as possible.

[Ziskinberg]

The biggest influencer of mine is my relatives, I'm surrounded by gamblers and at a young age, I'm already exposed and learn how to gamble. Though it looks bad I learn from my experience and I am now not afraid of taking risks, in fact, what changes my life to improve financially is because I am not afraid to gamble, I just choose my game and I'm more on investing than gambling.

[crzy]

My friends influenced me to gamble before and they teach me how to play the cards, and I’m loving it since its easy to understand and by that time, I have free money and I’m on the teenager free to do such things legally in my place. Until now, we are still playing with my friends on Casinos and the good thing is, we are not addict and we know how to limit ourselves which is very important. I’m happy to have my friends who will guide you to the right thing, which is not to gamble all the time.
