How was your first attempt to play gambling

There is no reason to be too afraid of becoming addicted to gambling, the only thing you need to do is to set a budget for your gambling activities and then you respect it and never go above it, and as long as you do this then the chances of becoming addicted to gambling are zero, however if you notice that you are gambling more money than what you have assigned at your budget in a consistent basis then you know that you need to stop as at that point you will be experimenting the first signs of gambling addiction.

Anything that is done excessively, will have a bad impact. likewise with gambling. I think, if a person gambles only according to his portion. then, he will be free from things that lead to addiction. Addiction can infect anyone, including people who are very experienced. the point is self-mastery, and what matters is what you do the gambling session for. if to get additional results, or side job. then obviously, someone will gradually become an addict. I think gambling is part of the fun in today's era, with modern methods of entertainment. without having to go to a land casino, we can access it even if only at home. Unfortunately, most people are too complacent and without realizing that this activity is very risky.

As in the case of the Op, who titled his first try at gambling. this is where most of the problems occur. Gambling is fun, also very entertaining. the first time someone tries, there will be a second time and so on. starting from the smallest bet, to betting a large amount. Unfortunately, it is rarely accompanied by understanding and responsibility. if someone has it, he will automatically have good self-control. when is it time to indulge in a gambling session, and when is it time to call it quits.

Addiction can hit anytime.  Even if the gambler plays what he can afford to lose if he left his self unchecked, he will eventually succumb to the temptation and possibly become addicted to gambling.  So the best thing to do to avoid gambling is to have ourselves in check.  We must reflect on our actions if we are still in control or the urge to gamble overwhelm us.

As in the case of the Op, who titled his first try at gambling. this is where most of the problems occur. Gambling is fun, also very entertaining. the first time someone tries, there will be a second time and so on. starting from the smallest bet, to betting a large amount. Unfortunately, it is rarely accompanied by understanding and responsibility. if someone has it, he will automatically have good self-control. when is it time to indulge in a gambling session, and when is it time to call it quits.

There is always this first time and I believe for most of us, our first time is a gain making us to try gambling again.  Or if lost we try to chase our losses.  It is always an interesting thing to have a first hand experience of gambling and the fun and interests that we got from that first try is always the factor why we keep on coming back.

I am not very knowledgeable in leagues, tournament of card games and other games so when I started or my first attempt in gambling is playing slot games. It's not very interesting as you can see the same pictures again and again when you spin. What I find interesting is my chances on winning the game and free games if it's a fiat only casino. Honestly, I also tried gambling in an online fiat casino just like gambling in an online crypto casino such as the gambling sites that are known in this forum.

I think we always bet, and it's not always money, but that's the way it starts, in my case Casino bets came with the Poker Casinos, there I discovered that the poker-bet relationship made sense for me.

I did not bet on anything else, only poker, with the arrival of crypto casinos I got involved with other types of bets, mainly PF.

OP:... I think the important thing is not how you started betting, it's how you end up.

True. Because I guess everyone here started gambling with common dilemma, that is finding difficulty in choosing from two or more alternatives which made us literally confused. Well, everyone’s been there, but what is more important is today, how we survived from that and made us good and effective gamblers. I can say that I have been losing from gambling when I was starting, but now I know where to mostly bet that will suit me and which will give possible high returns.

Nobody who will say it has not had such experience of gambling from my perspective, and secondly i believe gambling is something someone can be part of, or participate like in seven occasions and finally that seven times of participation became loses, the way I'm seeing gambling nobody that will not attest that he or her have not lose in gambling before, so some times the lost we record in gamblling is higher than the profit.

I don't remember the first attempt, and based on what I remember the betting platform is Directbet and the bet was on tennis matche. I lost the bet, and it was a try to understand how things work and I never had any idea about tennis and the players involved with the match. From there slowly started to make more and more number of sports betting particularly on tennis and cricket matches.

Do you know why most of lost money in gamblling, it's because of lacks of masters or understand the gamblling or particular gambling that we are betting with, do you know that some of this people who win in the gamblling do make a research of one particular gambling for one particular months in gambling before research before betting in that particular gambling, i will not blame not anyone who lost in gambling because gambling is a all about advantages and disadvantages.

That happens when you play sport bet most of the time where a certain amount of skill is involved but yet I still believe luck to play even there the most relevant part,if you don't have luck you don't win even if you have all the experience and mastery of the world.
In slot machines you don't need any experience except that you be able to read the instructions on the slot that you are playing and all you need here is 100% of luck and hit that spin button,no prior experience needed or whatsoever.There are no advantages or disadvantages to sport betting or slots,in order to win the only thing you need is luck.

Sport betting was introduced to me by my friend who regularly gambles,sometimes he will win a huge amount of money, sometimes he will complain of how he had cut one,sometimes he will regret ever knowing how to place a bet,while sometimes he will be happy that he knew how to gamble,,all this things was putting that interest in me.I developed the interest through those moments and decided to give it a try,untill I was able to place a bet.I placed it the first day and I won a small amount of money,I was so happy,and I thought I was missing something huge all those period of times I wasn't gambling ,but now I regret ever knowing how to gamble,but I can't stop anymore because I am now addicted to it.

One of the risk that you might ending up into on the time you do get involved with gambling is to become addicted and having the hard time on getting away or avoiding it which is something a very common problem

for most gamblers which you should avoid on the first place.It isnt really that bad to take up some consideration on making some betting but for the purpose of leisure and entertainment.If you do go after or really that

longing for profits then this is where those chasing scenario and desperate measures do really happen on the time you do make out some bets.
First attempt on my side is on the time i do engage on putting up money into some of local gambling in our community.

It will only become a problem if you win for the first time then you're eager to try to gamble again because of the profit. We can't deny it is one of the reason why many of us got hooked in gambling, since we're thinking we will become lucky again. When I gamble for the first time, I enjoyed it because it's entertaining aside from the ability to earn (it's a card game). But after experiencing to lose many times (i'm still young that time and not earning money on my own) I realized it's not a good habit and you'll regret that you used your money in gambling if you already lose it.

Most of the people that get involved in gambling for the first time usually experience winning on their first try and just like that it becomes something that you are now interested to try more because of that profit you made on first try. Like my friend used to tell me about gambling, that gambling would first of all welcome you with open arms then you will be very interested to try out more and the moment you are trapped by it, it becomes a very big issue to come out of it. Most people don't actually know how to control their losses while gambling and once you are loosing your mind is usually unstable and your thinking don't become straight again because the only thing that would be playing in your head is to get back your money and the more you try the harder you fall and that habit turns you to a gambling addict.

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.?

If you understand English, then there isn’t any big deal to place a bet to be honest. I mean it’s written all clear whenever you play on a gambling site or casino. I believe many of us have played dice as their first gambling game, and in most of the dice games it’s mentioned, about the Bet Amount, Under or Over and the risk involved. So to be frank, I didn’t spend time to learn how to bet, rather I learned how to minimise risk while betting. And regarding the first bet thing, it was very easy. I just deposited money and placed a manual bet on dice.

I dont know what is your point but I think those who played for the first time is they know how to read since they know how to access that website even you only know basic English you will understand. Dice game and i forgot the name of the other game that you will bet a certain amount and you will hit stop button when you feel that it going to crash . This is my first ever played gambling in online , in physical i played gambling games in carnival as it was fun to watch. Though i lost it but still ot was fun playing

Most people cannot forget their first big win and tend to want to do it again the next day. This can make them addicted to gambling if they can't control themselves properly and want to chase another big win. They will not be able to accept if they only get small wins and will try to play again. But if they already know that gambling can give wins and losses and will result in gambling addiction, they will not try to continue gambling but will try to stop at the right time, that is, when they can win some money.

This is the mistake some gamblers sually have when they place a bet and win they think anytime they place a bet again it will be a win.  This is the kind of habit that makes one to become a gambling addict. Profit shouldn't be a reason one must do gamble all the time.

As far as I know I did spend some time when I was young playing gambling in school.
So it's basically not that hard to play in gambling and spending some money but as I was gambling for too long I didn't notice that I was getting addicted to the point that I spent what I cannot afford to lose.

It didn't take much time to realize it though and I was able to control it and started to pay attention to what I should lose but despite of those losses, I really enjoyed my time when I gambled that time. I would say it's a kind of hard lesson to learn what are your mistakes.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

    - Honestly, there was someone here that encouraged me so much to enter in the crypto gambling, in which is to gamble in dice game.
It may be a boring gambling game for others, but for me, I'm looking to make quick money in gambling that is simple to do and this is what I found in dice games, and then slots games.

But even despite all my playing I often end up losing, that's how it is as a gambler, I rarely experienced that I won 3 days in a row gambling that reached 38$. This is my experience.

How was your first start?

It was a friend of mine who used to bet on cricket matches. One day we were watching a match together and he phoned the bookie and said he wants to bet on the X team. After that, he looked at me and asked do you want to do something? Now since the team he bet on, was strong and I was agree with him that, that team will win. So I said yes. And told him to place a bet of $20-$30 on my behalf as well. that was my first bet.

Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?

Nope, that wasn't a blind bet as I said above I had knowledge about cricket game.
