How was your first experience with gambling?

[Weawant]

The reason why they can't stop is because they've already become addicted and the thought that they will win something now if they play again, they keep doing that until they lose everything they have, that is how someone ends up becoming a gambling addict and then never manage to get out of it.

The most reason people get addicted when gambling is because they lack discipline that makes them to have poor money management habits. They go after losses and this make them to keep gambling pass their limits and when they realized they have already spent a lot.

When you're discipline and plan all you moves from the time you'll spend gamblers to your budgets, you won't be addicted. Most gamblers started gambling because they saw someone winning and they decide they can try gambling and they'll also win but that didn't happen.

Don't begin to gamble because you saw others doing it, before you begin gambling make sure it's something you want to do and you have understood the risk that comes with gambling. There's chances of you never winning and if that happens you have to stop before you lose everything.

I tend to think that someone gets addicted to gambling because they see about the possibility of big wins. It will increase their self-confidence constantly so that they really don't care about the risk of losing, this is also known as the curiosity about winning.

Discipline in gambling is only part of how you don't lose a lot of money, but it's not the way to not be addicted. You only need to change your mindset about winning and gambling goals so you don't get addicted, not learn about discipline and good budget management. Even if you are disciplined and have a budget limit for gambling, then you will also be said to be a gambling addict if you come back the next day or for another session.

Overall, we agree with what you said. However, it doesn't feel right if we only relate it to discipline. to me, discipline is just a concept, a concept that we apply to gambling. can also, say it discipline is an idea. with this method, we can manage our gambling to be healthier and to avoid things that smell like addiction. but whatever it is, there's nothing wrong if someone really prefers discipline.

Well, for me the important point is not discipline, but rather understanding and responsibility. by having an understanding of gambling itself, at least we really know and understand the definition of gambling itself for ourselves. We know very well that gambling is very risky, and it's not just a matter of winning or losing, but more than that. especially if we don't have understanding, we can just fall asleep and get carried away in every betting session that we do. well, usually novice gamblers don't have much experience. mostly what they think about is playing for fun, and hoping to win the gamble every gambling session. Unfortunately, they don't realize that not having understanding will have an impact on addictive things.

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

Well, I can say that gambling is addictive for me at first and we can see a lot of people gambling, enjoying themselves. But as I've suffered losses, that was the time I realized that I should have not paid attention to this. If I gamble, I already set limitations because the temptation is very close to us. Because the possibility of losing our emotions and the tendency of spending what we have is very possible that is why I encourage myself to get stick to it and never chase winning as this will lead to spending more and the possibility of losing more as well.

Beginners are always driven by their emotions and that’s why they tend to gamble more though most of them can easily understand the risk of gambling while some are not. My first experience is just like the many here, I bet all of my starting capital without even thinking when to stop, since my only goal is to have fun. Gambling is beyond making money, you have to be more responsible or else addiction will take over your mind and you might lose more.

Yes, the thing is that we humans are very bad at calculating probabilities in our heads. We're good at things like Newtonian physics (throwing a rock) without calculating anything. But statistics are tricky and not intuitive  at all for us.

And casinos basically took that concept and applied it to make lots of money. They show you something that you might think is a good deal, but the real math behind it shows that it's clearly a benefit for the casino, and they will take the money in the long term. But a gambler just doesn't see it unless they do the math. And the vast majority of gamblers won't do the math. That's that key to the casino's success.

Gambling using limits can save us from problems that can arise after we finish playing gambling. And with those limitations, you can control yourself from emotions, which can also increase drastically so that you won't lose too much money. Our first experience playing gambling is varied and different, especially when the situations we experience are also different, so after getting that first experience, we must learn what we need to have so we don't become addicted. But most people will return to gambling after their first experience because they get a different sensation that they never got before. And only limits and self-control can help him not get too deep into gambling.

It was a few years back when I started to gamble with crypto. I think it was Primedice which I played first. Started with some free rolls here and there until such time that I wanted to do a deposit and played with that amount ($5). Took me an hour or so to exhaust that $5 because I was playing with extremely small bet sizes. It was a fun experience and made me realize that I can kill time with gambling. Fast forward to now, I'm doing sports betting mainly.

I recognized that I wouldn't get any profits in casino games since it's extremely reliant on luck and probability, whereas in sports betting I can analyze which teams will play, how strong they are, and if the odds are skewed towards the team that I'm betting on.

I always spend $ 10 for a few hours even now I still play dice there, it's true what you say that sports betting guarantees more wins for example by choosing a favorite club or team compared to other dice or casino games that are difficult to predict, which is what we know that the house will always win and it's hard for us to get that win.

To be honest, I prefer to use casino games for fun where we can play with small bets for hours on end to entertain ourselves but sometimes I also play dice to wait for a football match to start where I bet on sports betting on the match, so I don't feel bored. I wait for the game to start playing dice, if I'm lucky I'll withdraw the money but if I lose I'll spend the money in any casino game.

And only limits and self-control can help him not get too deep into gambling.

I've noticed this from my close friends when they see someone playing gambling for the first time. They will say that usually the first person to play will definitely win, that's what I often hear. Then they say to bet within certain limits, and with the minimum amount of bets possible.
I've also even talked to their own friends, they will say negative things, like when they want to buy snacks or whatever they will say they don't have money, but a few moments later they will play gambling. People like this will usually get a lot of advice from other friends, or even when advice is no longer heard they will stay away from people like that.

Yes, when a gambler no longer has boundaries, they will even harm others around them. They work, they have an income, but for their daily life they have to borrow here and there because their salary is spent on gambling.
However, we ourselves can control ourselves, we cannot depend only on others, because other people may have their own busy lives. I know it's hard, but hard doesn't mean impossible, right?

Yes, but still in the end they will be carried away by the situation itself, meaning that unconsciously they will be carried away by their own desires without thinking that they are using money to bet on this game. When they are in a game, they probably won't really care about their fate if they lose in the end. It is indeed very difficult to be able to control yourself in gambling because the hope of victory seems to be right in front of your eyes. Someone's level of happiness about a win is very different and I think the sensation is the main factor that really influences them, as you said that everyone has different sensations in every game. To be honest, before I had almost stopped gambling because I was bored with some games, but when my friend introduced me to a game that I just found out about there, I started to get back into it because the game was really fun and had an extraordinary sensation. It seems that one day I will be able to stop gambling when I am really bored in several games.

It depends on the gambler of course. There are gamblers who started with the primary purpose is earning a profit thru gambling and limiting their self and carefully doing bets even if they are still a new to gambling. Winning on gambling is addicting and we experience that sense of accomplisment if we leave the casino with a profit on hand but yeah that can be addicting. Having your first experience of that win can possibly make you lose control or worst being addicted to it. But yeah experiences are case to case scenario and it's hardly to have a very specific experience for most of us.

My first experience was so bad and frustrating because it made me lose so much and apparently it is not my only money left that's why it makes me frustrated. After that I think I will never ever do gambling again but as time passes by I gamble again but I create a logs of every play and the amount I am losing so that I can monitor my losses and wins in the game.

[Bitcoin_people]

When I first participated in gambling I was very happy to win the bet. I was inspired to gamble by watching my classmates gamble and win bets. And finally the feelings of winning the bet are different when I bet my money in the first state of gambling. Gambling creates an attraction from within itself that gradually turns into an addiction. After a few days of winning bets I keep increasing my money so that the money doubles very quickly when gambling. But later I gambled and lost all the money which caused me a lot of trouble. I became quite addicted to gambling but later got myself out of that position again. I don't have much experience with gambling but I am not so addicted to gambling anymore I have taken a break from gambling.

Casinos will not be booming if right from the start they don't have that advantage called house edge, it will be a risky business for them if they don't have that advantage because the probabilities of success between the casino and gambler are the same, which leaves them in the hanging in the corner because they will also hope that luck will be on their side to continue the flow of profits instead of losses and keep the business intact. And as a business owner, you surely want to be certain about the possibilities before you start to pour your resources and since casino do have this advantage, it's not surprising why casinos are almost everywhere now.

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

Same with me. Starting from inviting friends to bet on sportsbooks and roulette.
The message conveyed to me is watching while betting on the favorite team and getting money is more exciting.

Counting how much money has been spent does not apply to active gamblers who are not included in the addict category. For those who think gambling is just entertainment, it also doesn't apply.
Calculating how much money is spent playing gambling will be felt when the player is in a losing streak or when the player is in a position where there is no more money.

For gambling players who are rich, they will set aside a certain percentage of money to gamble. Again, no calculations apply to them.

[Hispo]

My first experience with gambling was relatively when I was small and I played lotteries with my family, later on I and my brother spent a little bit of time playing a popular game here in my country which is like a roulette with this animals, instead of numbers. That was a handful of years ago, we did not lose much money, fortunately.

Going far forwards to these years I first started with freebitcoin and also a webpage which I think it was called coinpot, or something like it, after all those experiences I have ended up rolling dices on Stake. I will likely not move onto other place in a long time.

Everyone here must have some past experience of dice games or casino games and there are also those who bet on sports betting.
But if the percentage of the stories of most people here, I see that there are lots of people who started betting on gambling because they tried to bet on sports betting, especially football.
From their experience, they developed according to the trend that is currently being played, namely betting on slot games
But for me a gambler who has been in gambling for a long time who has a lot of experience they already know and can distinguish what bets make luck closer, namely sports betting as you say.

Perhaps it's not only the feeling of winning big, but also the lack of money handling skills that makes people raise bets and take risks, eventually becoming addicted. Discipline and strategy are needed in everything related to money. And gambling is more about easy money and easy loss of money. Hence the feeling of big winnings and addiction.

Everyone must have almost the same beginning as being introduced by a friend or finding it on the internet accidentally and starting to feel curious. So it doesn't matter what it's like at first, but the impact is still the same, that is, it's hard to get out of the shackles of the gambling circle. Like it or not, it is a fact that any gambler can never get out unless he has lost everything. However, in the process many of us learn to try to control situations such as reducing bets slowly, limiting the budget for gambling, or setting the time of the week.
These activities are automatically imprinted in the brain making it a condition that is mandatory to do, if not sometimes mentally stressed, the mind is not calm, looking for information on new gambling sites until it is contaminated with addiction. Isn't that a fact?

But if the percentage of the stories of most people here, I see that there are lots of people who started betting on gambling because they tried to bet on sports betting, especially football.

Sport betting is my favorite till this very moment. Gambling is the major reason why I started watching football matches during my early year in high school. I picked a lost ticket on the ground and was wondering how gamblers understand the options. I saw something like XorGG, 1DNB so I was triggered to enquire from a friend who's also a gambler and unfortunately that was how my gamble life began. My first ticket was slightly cut by one game despite picking like 20 games in a single ticket. Such a bad first experience.

That first ticket gave me false impression about gambling because it looked so easy to me then but after I played for straight one week without a single, I begin to realize that gambling is not calling and promise myself to give up after the last one but sadly it won and I was not be able stop. It is a long story with terrible experience but it is under control now.
