How was your first experience with gambling?

[Casdinyard]

It was exhilarating to say the least. The first time I joined and played the game (talking about my first ever experience gambling in a casino) it was loud and yet at the same time people are so invested that you'd not hear a single thing. I was nervous cause I only had experiences of playing that particular game in videogames and nothing else. When it came my turn, I was sweating profusely. I still managed to bag a couple of wins in there and ultimately go home with a positive experience. But since then I have never visited a land casino anymore.

My virtual gambling experience however, was a bit sadder. I was bored as hell during the heights of the COVID pandemic and you can't really do much back then since all stores are closed and everyone's forced to go back to their houses unless you work for the health sector. One day my old friends hit me up to recommend gambling where they play and bet on who's gonna bag more wins after the session. There's a prize pot that we all chipped in and we base winners on a hierarchy basis so that everyone's able to get something at the end of the day. It was fun while I was playing with friends and hanging out with them through Facebook Messenger and Discord but afterwards I just feel drained and sad, probably cause I couldn't hang out with them in real life.

Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

As I mentioned in a similar topic before, the reason for my interest in gambling was due to the fact that my country is a casino paradise. Many of the services offered in the casinos and the fact that it is very easy to physically access the casinos to gamble caused me to have a lot of curiosity about gambling. Although my first gambling experience started with sports betting than I used to go to casinos with certain frequencies and play various games there. Due to the fact that I had such various advantages it was a little late to get my first online gambling experience. When I was going to gamble online I did not get any advice from anyone around me and after researching the websites I discovered myself I started gambling here. The reason why I chose to gamble online was that I couldn't leave the house at certain times and I wanted to gamble for fun.

My first experience with gambling was pretty good since I won my first bets and I made a big money from it. It wasn’t expected because I was new to that and my friends dared me to win and I was like sure, I will try that but in sports betting because i’m pretty good at guessing football games results.

Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

As i said my first experience was positive as I won around 2k$ in just few days but then I had losses streaks:D I was gambling on an online website called PlanetWin that accepts fiat only but then i just moved to gamble on others casino websites that accept Bitcoin because they’re just better imo.

Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble

I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling

Well my first gambling experience turned out to be a whole big trap for because it was on my first try that had a quite impressive win although it was during my secondary school days and my older friends were the ones that invited to the casino where I actually took my first try and had a win on that try and I can recall how I felt during that time. After that day I always went back to the casino never knowing this casino just hustle me and this time when I went back it was like rain with the losing streak.

On the time that i do able to know this crypto space then my first gamble was on Freebitco.in. Wayback where faucet earning is really that relevant on which this had been popular wayback when it comes into its

hi-lo game plus having that faucet and even up to now but it seems that interest isnt really as before.On the time that i do able to touch up those first time experience on online gambling then it did really
spark out that kind of interest with gambling. Zooming out then you could really see lots of options or places on which you could re ally be able to choose on where you would really be playing.
Different offerings or different types of games on which you  would be able to play on as long you do have the money on doing so.

Experience? Just like as usual on which losses would really be bringing out that kind of huge disappointment and you would really be that too impulsive when it comes to this.
We know that human beings doesnt really like on losing money and this is why these reactions are normal.

I remembered  my first day i was happy since it was me expecting money, and all started from my brother inlaw who enjoys betting  and end up been addicted, he works at the club  and comes  back with a betting slip to confirm if there is a win and at the end of the day he add zero wins, it was from him I knew how to place a bet online, then what I did was that was sure the limit was there and instead of arguing  for nothing I argue with my ticket, since playing constant is for does that have balls that can deal with emotions, the funniest of it all is that you keep expecting money you don't have, one there is a limit then even the risk of losing money wil reduce. Betting lot is risky and can liquidate you of all your assets

I won my bets on my first gambling. Well, I had the money and someone more experienced instructed me on the games to bet on. I hope this still counts. I can remember that I gave the colleague who helped some money out of it and the rest I used to order Pizza and live like a king in my campus dormitory during that weekend. It was an unforgettable experience. I would later lose money after returning  to place bet on other random sports games, like horse racing, boxing, Judo, swimming. It happened because there was no one to guide this novice. I experienced emotional pain. I stopped betting after that terrible experience and would pick it in my final year at college.

I remember my first gambling experience when you're struggling. I entered this world with astonishment and excitement after hearing stories about people getting rich quickly. My gambling-savvy older cousin told me about it. I started for fun with modest money I could lose. As you mentioned, play became passion swiftly. As I entered the loop, I lost myself. Losing more made me realize how bad things may get. My cousin's and my fury was unbearable. Wisdom was difficult to learn. Gambling was a scam for easy money LOLL  

[Johnyz]

First experience was fun since my focus is not just about making money at that time and its a pure for entertainment only. By the time I enter the right age, I was able to enter the casino for the first time and my budget is limited at that time, as expected I lose the money and that’s the beginning of my gambling story in casinos. As a new gambler you tend to play with lots of emotion but as the time goes by, you’ll realize how risky gambling is and you’ll realize that making money is not guaranteed at all.

My first gamble was in Senior High School, a bunch of friends brought poker cards and we had some simple fun at first but eh, you know how it goes with high school, we moved towards betting with small coins then, well, went big. It was fun yea, but had to stop since well, I bet rather big so it was rather hurtful for my lunch money for a few weeks and two, had a gf back then and she bloody hated gambling (I started it behind her back). It was a rather enjoyable experience though since the thrill I felt was a first.

As for casino sites, I discovered them myself during 3rd year of college or so? Played a bit then and stopped, and continued only after I graduated.

Is Freebitco.in worth a first experience in gambling or is it just casinos?

I met him while searching the internet for a way to earn free bitcoins, because at the time I didn't have the money to buy them and I didn't even know about the existence of bitcointalk.

Before casinos became popular, my first bets were on this famous bitcoin faucet, I think the big revolution they made was precisely allowing (trying) to multiply the amount in banking.

After that, I went through many casinos in fiat that I don't even remember now, I always lost money .... either by betting wrongly or else being deceived by fraudulent sites.

During the pandemic, I focused more on sports games, especially football, and I was able to better control my expenses by placing bets mainly on games that I had some knowledge of.

My first taste in gambling is through lottery betting, lottery is so popular here in our country that almost every street here in our country have a lottery outlet its very easy to bet all you have to do is to pick six numbers in a lottery ticket and pay in the counter and watch the result live on TV to see how many numbers did you hit, there's also a consolation prize if you hit 5 digits and 4 digits, I can consider lottery is our national form of gambling its government-run and part of the revenues are being used to help the poor sector of our country that is why it is well supported by our citizen.

~snip~

^We are the same and I remember that time I was looking for a free BTC and then I searched (free bitcoin) but Freebitco.in popped up.
And then I give it a try until that time I know how to gamble in the lottery and the high and low game which no one told me about the gambling casino. But at that time I know how to control myself in gambling and only gamble what I have collected from the airdrop because it is not uncommon for people to lose track of the amount of money they have spent while engaged in gambling activities. That is why responsible gambling practices, such as setting a budget and maintaining self-control, are crucial to ensure a healthy and enjoyable experience. It is always important to be aware of the risks associated with gambling and to seek support if you feel it is becoming a problem.

Actually I had idea about gambling sites long ago but I was not into gambling. My first gambling entry was probably around 2022 which I clearly remember losing the first gambling bet of my life. Although the stakes were very small, the first gambling experience in life began with a losing streak. But one thing is very important to me that I prefer to spend most of my life behind my family so I don't spend much time behind gambling. So I have no real experience of such bitter and sweet in my life.

I find it easier to get out of the gambling circle, don't talk for me, talk for yourself, I am not an addict, and even if I gamble continuously in a week it's because I have the money to throw away for that week, I know when to stop and I know when to stay away, the way I reason is to always be in control of everything I get myself involved with.

I have to take 10 rolls on Slots every two days in a week and if I win good amount even on the 2nd trial I stop for that day, it's over and it's time to go home, I know myself better, if I continue I will lose them all, I set some rules for myself and it's better experiment than what I used to do when I was new to gambling.

I started gambling using Dogecoin years ago and I was already in crypto at the time, it was easier to get Dogecoin through faucets online back then so it's almost like I lost nothing when I use the coins to gamble.

That's the important thing about gambling, if you can stop whenever you want to then you are doing the right thing and you shouldn't be worrying about anything else. I understand how some people could fall into gambling pit and how they end up with losing too much money.

We have even heard about people who gambled so much that they lost all their money and they ended up with losing all they had and commit suicide, that is actually beyond what should be gambled, and I do not mean like just a bit, that's literally the edge of how much you could gamble, you can't do it anymore after that unfortunately. So, having a stop mechanism when you should is a big deal and you should be proud of being able to do that since a lot of people can't.

I don't remember exactly when I started gambling so I don't have full knowledge of my first gambling experience.  But one memorable gambling incident I remember was when I placed a bet for a sports bet and a friend of mine placed a bet against me at a gambling site. And I talk a lot with my friend about that. And at one point we bet physically against each other in person for $100 each in addition to online betting.  And then I won and my friend refused to give me money because of which I had a problem with him but later we reconciled and my friend also gave me money but with that money I had a party with friend circle.

Gambling is just like trading so we need to know that since not all traders make profits from trading still not all gamblers are going to be a winner or s profitable one. We need to understand that for us to be a profitable gambler, there is task that is involved that we needed to take yo be a gambler with profitability.

Gambling and trading are similar, but it's not like trading. Trading needs some knowledge and skills to make a profit. If you do not know about trading, you will lose your money in trading. In comparison, gambling in slot games and in-house games requires no skills. There is nothing to do with the experience. Every gambler has the same winning chance in those games.

Even Experienced gambler might lose their entire bankroll in gambling. You cannot do anything except refrain from placing bets. House always wins in the long run. House doesn't know if you are an experienced player or not. It applied the same percentage of house edge with each and every player.

I know about gambling sites because of the advertisement in this forum.  So far my experience with gambling is ok. I lose some I win some.  Though if computed, I might say that I am on the green because I have a winning streak this past month that still outweighed my series of loses recently.  I think the most multiplier I won is around 2000x+ and the largest winnings I got is winning $700+ from $50 bankroll.  I have not experienced max win but I experienced losing my bankroll in less than 10 minutes after I start my gambling session.  After losing my initial bankroll, I tend to stop because that was my gambling fund allocation and I do not want to spend more money knowing that my luck sucks that day.

An impressive experience and of course it was your first big win, it's just that I'm sure you're having trouble being able to repeat it now.
Everyone has experience in betting but not all of them have a sweet experience like what you have because some gamblers actually have a bitter experience that cannot be forgotten.

There is a statement that I do not like "So i can tell if anyone learn properly and play game and bet there has huge possibility to gain money. "
Because not all types of bets can be won with only right study properly
