How was your first experience with gambling?

[Kalam001]

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

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

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

My first gambling experience was amazing and fascinating. I made a huge entrance by playing as many games as I could each day and was extremely fortunate to win the majority of my wagers. That gave me the motivation I needed to keep playing the slots until it turned into an addiction, at which point I had to stop.

I don't exactly remember when but that was in 2014 or 2015 when I discovered this faucet site that has hi-lo, next is Primedice, and yes, I've known PD first before this forum. Of course, my first experience was very good. From faucet claim to 0.004btc for playing 2 hours straight. I was overwhelmed by my early years, especially when I was in PD and maybe that is the reason that keeps my hope in gambling.

The first gambling experience must have been memorable because it was something different that I could feel. When gambling is fiat, I feel interested in playing other games but don't think about winning or losing. Playing can make me feel all kinds of feelings that can't be told.

But that has all passed and only memories that I can remember. Even though the number of wins and losses is greater, that's okay because I consider gambling as entertainment. Maybe playing gambling with a little money would be better for me now than using a lot of money because, seeing what I have gotten from gambling so far, I have lost more than I have won.

And besides that, I also have to stay out of trouble from gambling games so that it keeps me on the same path as before: using only a small amount of money.

I got to know gambling sites by accident. At that time I worked as a freelancer on the fiver site. There is an article order for a new online gambling project that will open a service. I wrote almost all of the article content on the site. At first I was paid using paypal, but when their paypal balance ran out I was paid with webmoney. And in my country at that time it was still difficult to convert webmoney into fiat money so I spent it on gambling

The customer of this article also offered me to do a slot game test, to test whether each slot is working properly or not. I get paid to do this. Until I was offered as an influencer on YouTube to promote their site. but I turned down the offer

Maybe it was the beginning until I finally got to know the gambling circle, Until I spent quite a lot of money

Usually everything starts with a faucet before getting to know about gambling because there used to be faucets available so people could test games like HI-LO, I've also tried that on freebitoin to be precise, but I've also seen it on PD as well because at that time primedice was quite famous too. this forum, because the Primedice dice game is very much used by the community of this forum.

After seeing that many new casinos are coming with new games PD is not so many players anymore and maybe people are turning to Stake which is becoming a business too, casinos should now learn from gambling platform sites used to provide free faucets for new users to be able to test games on their site.

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.

very good self-control and don't think too much about gambling but at least you already have experience in gambling. unfortunately your experience seems a little unimpressive because you lost money the first time you tried to bet on gambling. but even though it was not a memorable experience, at least you have stories in the past that you have gone through when gambling and can tell you that gambling does not need to be taken seriously and prefers to refrain from continuing to gamble.

No it is wrong because only a little that joining gambling site turns addicted because of being lack of capital to gamble.

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

there is no one that needs to tell us about gambling site when you are in this forum ., because it is rampantly advertised here in bitcointalk and the  section it self will teach you how and where to play.

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

but you did not gamble all your money from pocket? and also have something to eat in table? then you are not addicted.

 My gambling journey began in college when I was introduced by a friend who made lot's of profits from an odd given to him by his coursemate, of which he staked very high and boomed, his winning got my attention cause i needed some  cash to sustain myself as a student, he taught me to create an account then with a particular sports betting app and gave me a 50odds which comprises of 10 Epl games he asked me to stake high which I did with a spare 5k I had and boomed, i was very happy to earn such a huge amount of money, so I always went to this particular friend for games whenever we meet.
 It went on and on until he graduated and I couldn't keep in touch with him, then I decided to make predictions by myself with the little experience I had from him, on a particular day I was able to come up with about 12 games of up to 200 odds but out of greed and quest to earn more I decide to include another game which I felt was very sure, I could remember it was Barcelona against Malaga and I picked Barcelona to win over magala which is very possible with Barcelona given about 1.20 odds against Malaga given about 15 odds , to cut the long story short, could you believe other games played and Barcelona being the only game with the smallest odds made me lose, lol I felt very bad and regretted including that particular game cause i almost won about 500k in my local currency and that particular game stopped me from winning.
Moral lesson: Greed is not a friend to gambling, do not gamble with greed, lol.

Man , I was so young when it all started ...like around 10 years old. Me and my friends were always out after school to play football around the blocks but there was an old man from my block who was gambling to sports and everytime he showed up outside , I was asking if I can go with him and place my ticket as well and he agreed most of the time because hey ...I was just a kid. I remember entering the bookie and everyone was looking at me but the guy told me I was his nephew and I'm just placing tickets in his behalf ...strange or not , I even got help from the guys and learned what 1x2 means and so on. Funny or not , one time I've placed 11 games in Serie A with half time - full time result and only 2 games got me out but my tickets were always chaos with big odds because as a kid , in my mind , all the important teams were unbeatable in my mind  .

After 2 years , we had a new agency in town where the main attractive point was Lotto tickets but funny or not they had sports betting as well without asking if you're major or not ...and when we found out , me and my buddies were there placing bets with 1ron which means today like 20 cents in Euro. Crazy times even if we never won a ticket hahaha because we were to crazy with the odds.

Yes, it's true that environmental factors can influence people to try gambling for the first time, for example from close friends who are also gamblers, of course we will try something that friends invite, it's commonplace like friends inviting us to drink alcohol, obviously we can't refuse let alone play gambling, it is clear that we will also be affected because of a friend's invitation.

Generally, it is the environment that influences a person to be involved in gambling because usually they will invite them to try it first and after that we will be addicted to gambling. When parental control is lacking, we will become more addicted and difficult to get out of gambling. Vice versa addiction in alcohol and other things if not properly controlled by their parents.

Maybe a lot of money has been lost because of gambling, sometimes by gambling because inviting friends can create hostility and conflict, usually because of money problems and perceived defeats, let alone becoming an addict, that's why even though I like to gamble for fun, I never want to invite my friends to play gambling. . if he can't control himself and becomes an addict of course I'm very guilty of ruining my friend's life.

If the nature is addicted it will be difficult to get out of the gambling circle, unless we leave the environment and try to find other activities for everyday. I was released from addiction due to work factors and left the gambling environment where I lived in the village and am grateful that now I am no longer addicted to gambling.

Daily repetitious activity will undoubtedly lead to addiction; I'm completely out of the system, although I continue to receive information regarding the gambling system. Gambling was something that appreciative my utmost operations; I was enthralled into gambling on more games every day since I possessed a great deal of beginner luck; it was as if I knew the outcome of every game fixed. I would occasionally email my colleagues accurate forecasts that would result in profits; at the end of the day, 80% were correct, and earnings were shared among ourselves.

[darkangel11]

My first gambling was painful, so I don't know why I kept doing it in the years to follow.
We would bet on football matches with friends and kept losing because we'd bet with our hearts rather than our brains I had a local team that we'd all be fans of because we lived near the team's home stadium, so betting against your team was seen as a treachery, but the team was underperforming for many years. Funnily enough, years later, when I moved to another city for a job, the team had a great year and advanced into the first league, but I wasn't there to see it and bet on them.

Remember, anything that is done in excess, then the impact will be very bad and gambling is no exception.
about what you said, especially the main points. To be honest, I really agree with what you said. why, because of the fun things, it would be difficult for us to avoid including gambling. most people, beginners, or pro gamblers, will do the same cycle as you said in the first line.
well, usually the problem lies with the gambler himself. I mean, if you have a job and responsibilities, you're not always going to be focused on gambling. because, you will spend your time with work activities that become your routine. thus, you will conduct gambling sessions on the sidelines of the leisure time you have. or maybe, on a holiday. thus, you will not be affected by the effects of addiction as you say.

For me, gambling is part of the fun in the midst of busy work routines. Usually, I do gambling sessions when I have free time. except, sports betting. because, after we made the bet, I stay focused on what I should be doing. the third point, we are here, have lots of casinos that have a reputation you can trust. some of them, already have big names.
well, before I apologize, I did not enter to patronize you. it's just that, the first thing you need to know, in betting there is always a risk. if we don't win, it means we lose. Second, you have to know what game you're playing. if you are purely playing gambling based on luck, play without the hope of getting a big win. make it, just an entertainment even though the fee is expensive. but if you have sports knowledge, you can develop the insights you have. at least, the probability of winning that you have is higher than other types of gambling. point is, play with money prepared to lose and make it just part of the hobby.

that's not true at all.
not everyone who starts betting becomes addicted to gambling.
not everyone who is addicted to gambling spends all their money.
if you had gambling issues just reflect what is the issue. is this related to gambling or there is a compulsive?

My first experience with gambling has been in family. Playing cards games during the summer or xmas. later I get some scratch card (literally the first one that I take give me around 25 euros of nowadays, a lot of money at that time/age).
if you play just for fun, it's a nice hobby, relaxing, in a certain way also productive.
if you have issue, STOP immediately and take any possible action to avoid recurrence issue!

that is overstatement mate to claim that  many people who joined gambling find it difficult to get out because i can get out of gambling any time I wanted but why should I when i only enjoy playing for some times?

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

I was being lured by childhood friend inside our school premises , and yes we gamble a card gaming Lucky9 lol.

and about the experience? it was nice and exciting though i lost all my pocket money .

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

then you are not a responsible person because you don't even know how much you are spending to gamble.

My first experience with gambling was with slots. It was an after school thing with friends at a physical casino and I think I was around 18 or 19. It was something completely new for me and while I started off with mere Euro cents, soon I lost over 50 Euros or so before I realized that I needed to stop. Don't get me wrong, I had fun but as with discovering anything new there is a tendency to overdo it and not even notice. But slots alone do get boring after a while. Especially the European slots which were my first ones. They are basically all the same template but with a different style. So there is only so much you can get from them in terms of entertainment. I moved on to card games not soon after and honestly, I have not gotten bored of poker even after all these years. I think what keeps the game exciting are the different people that you play with.

My experience was challenging, yet I never regretted quitting gambling; it is not the path to choose if you want to live a contented and tranquil lifestyle. At my relatively young age, I assumed that gambling would become my source of money, but I believe I was mistaken. Gambling dealt with me; I was a victim of people who were treated unfairly by the system; I utilized my school fees to gamble, and the system took everything from me, because I was hoping to win the Lotto one day so I could make big profits, but my desire was reduced to a bare minimum.

[SirLancelot]

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.

Wow, I've never heard of a government that uses the revenue from lottery tickets to help the poor sector of their country, this is a great thing to be done by a government where governments of poor countries don't really care about their poor population and are mostly busy filling their own pockets by either corruption or running their own businesses all around the world, that is the reason why most third-world countries don't develop easily.

I'm personally not a fan of lotteries because I believe it is very difficult to win in lotteries, especially when there are so many participants and so many tickets have been sold which makes your probabilities lower and you barely manage to win a prize, I've tried it many times but no luck at all.

[ShowOff]

I don't really remember my first experience with gambling, but I can only say that I felt really happy when I won the bet for the first time. I wasn't a serious gambler at first, it was just trial and error out of curiosity, but slowly became an addiction.

I am a fan of the lottery, as well as slots, dice, and sports betting, but so far I don't gamble as much as I used to for one reason or another. Although I can still bet on some football match, but that's only when I really feel like doing it for fun. I don't expect many wins, but fun is what I want in every bet I make.

The amount that we lose does matter. What if you lose big amounts? Do you think it's easy to accept it? No, but there is that revenge feeling that we will experience. Losing small amount doesn't always mean that a gambler won't continue playing for more. They still can because they think their losses are still small. My first gambling experience here in the crypto world is not great. I ended up ALL-IN'ing my balance in the default setting of dice and my first bet was a loss.

No one told me about that casino but I only saw that here in the forum because it was promoted through a signature campaign. Tracking expenses in gambling can be optional because some of us don't take it seriously. If you are still curious if how much you spend, you can always check the history of your gambling account.
