How was your first attempt to play gambling

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?

If we are talking about online crypto gambling, dice games were the first game I played, the game is really straight forward and there really is not much to learn about it. the only reason why dice game was my first bet is because of pocket dice, they were one of the earliest crypto casino that I know of and they were quite active here in the forum at the time I started getting into crypto.

We all have a different experience how we started our first bet. Their are people who started bet without having any knowledge concerning it. Their are some people started with a help from a friend to bet and their are some who took their time to learn before they started paying bet.

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?

My earliest memory of gambling was through an amusement park. In my country, local unmoderated amusement parks often have stalls for gambling, color game, blackjack, chinese poker, and dice are among the few games that I have played when I was in one. My dad used to give me a dollar to spend on those and of course since I was barely a conscious toddler, I would lose all the money on uncalculated bets. My first online gambling however was just in 2018, I got free spins on a certain gambling site which I used and exhausted, I won nothing but that urged me to actually spend real money to buy more  spins and play more games. I broke even that day and that was only through sheer luck because I don't even have half a mind at what I was doing that day. Since then I made a case for myself to never jump on a new venture without researching substantially, especially ones that concern me spending money.

As far as I remember, I was tempted to bet that time without even prior knowledge in gambling just because my wife is pregnant, and they say pregnant women are lucky in most of their chosen bets. And so we won that bet. Later on, I started to bet on my own and while my experience gets deeper, I am also learning from gambling. Maybe that made me a good gambler somehow because I was able to learn from my mistakes and losses, and not only from gambling articles alone.

Those are just beliefs and there's no evidence that it does really work or effective because we do really love on tying up things into gambling which we do convince ourselves that it is really a lucky thing.
Each person does have their own experience on how things been done and deal up with something that we havent experienced before. On my first attempt with gambling is when im still young
where my neighbors or friends had that coin toss kind of gambling where you do need to guess whether its a head or tails and if it turns out to be right then you do win.
Until on the time that i had already some knowledge then the awareness and experience do even get wider.

My first attempt gambling was really terrible be sure I wass always told that I will always make some winnings even when I lost but the first time I gambled, I never make any winnings and it was very confusing to me. I had to think of how I will replace my back with the attempt that if I play again I will win. I tried playing again and I still make loses, then I decided to leave gambling for that time. I never had any luck at all ok n the day if my first gambling. For to gamble on so particular games, we really need understanding and ideas on how to start and go about things.

I don't remember where it all started but I just go with the flow. There are gambling games that was easy to learn and don't really need much studying to understand the gameplay. Not unless there's a specific gambling game that really makes me puzzled, that's the time I will learn how that gambling is played.

I will just progress and keep my gambling activity healthy. Enjoy while trying to generate profits.

Since then, I learned a lot about how to deal with gambling-related problems which makes me a better gambler.

I took my time playing dice on my first go but it was easy to learn since some casinos would let you keep on rolling even without any money involved. I still remember during that time I found dice to be underwhelming at first because I was expecting the gameplay to have some sort of visuals similar to slots or other casino games but later on it got more enjoyable though.

Most of us here started with dice because it was one of the first early games created for crypto gambling. Then it will be followed by crash games. Dice game is fairly simple but it's up to if you will make things complicated by formulating your own strategy to increase your chances of winning.

We can practice easily if the site allows us to play for free but there are some who have a demo mode on them. The graphics of most dice games are basic not like to slot games but it doesn't mean that we can't enjoy dice games anymore. We can because dice sites have come up with different contests and the one that I like is where I will find a certain number and multiplier.

I presume that all of us gambled for the first time outside a fiat casino nor in an online casino. I cannot remember my first experience anymore, but I am certain that I already played many games that include small bets during my childhood. I grew up to a community where gambling is a norm.

After turning 18, it was also the first time I set foot in a casino. I was timid, I wanted to play poker but it I was surprised it is not same ambiance when playing poker with friends. I left the poker tables and find slot machines and other random bets that I do not even had a grasp on how to win. I lost a few bucks and left the casino. I did not enjoy my first casino experience.

Mine was in 2015. I accompanied a friend to a bet shop. It was during one of those Premiership games. Little did I know it going to be the beginning of the journey into gambling. Although, I was didn't have an bet account as at them, I gave them some money to increase the amount they were going to wager. We decided we were going to split the profits. Sadly, we loss but because I wasn't in too deep, I didn't feel it. I would later open a bet account  with a gambling site some 6 months later and place bets.

Crash Games was also one of my first games that I played since it has very simple instructions and is both very interesting and, at the same time, addicting to newbies like me. There are a lot of versions and animations of this, but the concept of the game is still there. Slots and dice games are also simple to play and beginner-friendly. Card games were also popular at the time, but only for those who knew how to play them, but still I find them interesting.

I cannot exactly remember my first betting experience. What I'm sure is that it wasn't in a casino. It wasn't online either. It was probably in a carnival. That's the usual early gambling experience for kids. There were also those scratch cards that you can buy cheap. Part of my early betting experience is also betting with friends on sports matches.

In crypto gambling, I was first introduced to dice years ago by friends. I think it was dice where my crypto gambling started. Sports betting followed shortly.

I can't actually recall the exact date on my first attempt to gamble . But the experience I had was really good at first maybe it's was because I was about to go through hell in this gambling shit.

Well I just remembered my friends and I went to a casino hall and since I was a newbie in the field so I decided to watch and ask questions about the games they were playing and what really got me tripped was the lots of cash they made that single day on just simple casino games.

After been wowed by the cash we made that day, I got really interested and eager to try one of the games in a casino and that was it, Boom!!! I became the gambler I am today now am kinda loosing more than am winning  and kinda wishing that day never happen cuz Its like I cant just stop trying to win back my losses which is impossible I know

When I am a child I gamble but no money involve but put my bread or  junk foods as a bet and one of my favorite game is running and luckily I am getting more breads and junk foods. But Honestly way back since I am 18 years of age I play in gambling which is involve money and when my first attempt it's little bit nervous and excited to earn money but sad to say I remember that my first gamble is I loss but second and third I win and then loss and so on .

[inthelongrun]

I think the first experience I gambled was when I was around 7 or 8 something. No money was directly involved at that time since we gambled using cards, rubber bands, marbles, etc which we bought using money. My first attempt to gamble using money was when I was 9 years old in a horse racing machine. I was excited but I was also scared at the same time if ever I win since I cannot easily hide the money and my mother will get angry if she knew I gambled. It was a crazy experience. In the end, I was happy and contented when I lose my bets.

It is very interesting to read about people's experiences when playing gambling for the first time, from starting without knowledge, knowing it from a friend and much more, and it will be an experience that we will probably never forget. Maybe there is from everyone's experience that it is the first time winning or the first time losing
I personally first started gambling when I was introduced by a friend. But unfortunately my friend didn't know what he was playing so it caused a messy game. I remember at that time the first game I played was a game of dice. Because I didn't know how to play, at that time I also didn't know how many wins or losses there were. That's what makes me confused and at the same time laughs at myself for playing something I don't know.

As most other members said, it is hard to remember when was my first attempt to play gambling.
For offline traditional gambling, I think it is when I was in Senior High School by playing card games, soccer betting and local lottery but I'm not sure which one was the first.
For online gambling, I started it around 10 years ago (2010-2011) IIRC in an online fiat poker site.
Talking about learning first before gambling, for sure I did some practice first before playing the game with money especially because it was a card game.
Card games can be played without money, and I did it against friends for fun in spare time.

I started with dice game and discovered sports betting later. When I firstly began, a friend told me it was possible to grow our bitcoin earnings through a safe strategy (martingale) making use of an automatic betting bot for small bets and winnings, but sustainable on long term. All I had to do was to configure the bot, setting base bet to 1 satoshi, so I could leave it working all day long, making passive income, while I did another daily activities. Of course, it ended that the method didn't work, but we still tried to fix it in another attempts, changing some details on the strategy. After losing different sums of bitcoin bankrolls, I stopped trying and realized it was really not possible to make money by doing this. That was my first gambling experience in crypto universe.

This is exactly like the one in my country, at several events such as night markets or bazaar events. usually the manager opens a booth for gambling, but the reward is not in the form of money, only cigarettes which can be used as a betting prize can also be in other ways. like in circus shows, but in our place it's different. there are types of bets such as roulette, but this is the traditional version, this gambling is usually very popular when there are events such as bazaar events.

My memory is back, because I was underage at that time. unfortunately, traditional events such as bazaars, night markets, are no longer popular.  even if there is, empty of visitors. yes, technology is more sophisticated and makes it easier for us to play anytime, anywhere, without having to visit certain places. the advantages of online casinos can be enjoyed by many people, without having to leave the house.

however, if one does not have a better understanding. playing online casino gambling without a time limit can cause many problems, this is something that people rarely realize.

The first time I actually started getting in to gambling was when I graduated from college.  One of my good buddies had just recently graduated law school and was looking for some extra income.  He decided to open a book/become a bookie himself and I utilized him for about 2 years before he "shut down shop". 

I was overall a positive experience.  I didn't bet for some time after that because bitcoin casinos didn't exist and you couldn't really trust anything else.
