How was your first experience with gambling?

[nullama]

~snip~
There are many different experiences when someone enters into gambling in the end, one of them is like what you said, at first they just try, are introduced by friends and many more. from that experience there will be different impacts too, some of them stop immediately at that time, some become addicted and others. The danger is those who become addicted, it will make them go too deep and they don't even know how to get out.
However, this often happens in the scope of gambling and when it all happens then it will come back to themselves.

Just like every other addictive thing, you should either keep it in moderation, or basically not use it.

It's the same with alcohol, in both gambling and alcohol ads they usually repeat the same message, "Gamble Responsibly", or "Drink Responsibly", that's basically what people should apply to their vices.

If they continue with their addictive path without stopping, that might end up in a very bad situation.

Yes, it is like that, and I've also repeatedly said that we have to have boundaries in doing it, that will be very helpful. And also any boundaries that we put in place we have to abide by completely, don't let it just be a theory but in practice we don't do that, that's just a lie.
Although we may be introduced by others, we cannot blame others for everything we do excessively. Excessive things are actually not good in any case, just like eating excessively is not good, right? Moreover, what we are talking about here is something that is widely seen as negative.

Consider boundaries to be the solution. Adorable. The shackles that the weak employ to bind themselves are called boundaries. The fact that you depend on them is absurd. In the end, the universe doesnt care if you stay within your self-imposed "boundaries" or not. Keep that in mind. No amount of "rules" will be able to protect you from life's unpredictable randomness.

And blaming others, really? The earliest play in the book is that one. Get up! Its not like we're herd animals. Would we? However, feel free to assign responsibility if you so choose. One thing about which you are correct is that excess of any kind is bad. However, who is to say what constitutes excess anyway? What you consider to be "excessive eating" may be an amazing feast for someone else!

Yeah, I think people blaming others are just not ready to grow and accept their failures.

You can't control the world, or what others do. You can only control how you behave, how you react to the world, and how you act and do things moving forward.

Blaming others doesn't allow you to grow, it's a bad mentality to have.

Blaming others and pointing fingers is just a way to avoid responsibility and the necessary changes that will need to take place if they accepted their mistakes, besides it is incredibly easy to do it compared with the alternative, and even if you were to point out this to most people they will still choose to blame others, as the alternative is to work for weeks and months trying to overcome their personal flaws, and when a great deal of people consider themselves to be perfect then there is no room at all for them to experiment any kind of personal growth.

I found out about gambling sites a very long time ago but they are all just accepting popular currencies to make a bet. Then, I found out about gambling sites with cryptocurrencies as options to bet here in the forum. I guess I am just going to use that as my first experience since I didn't really make a bet on fiat gambling sites before.
Dice was my first game, it's not too addictive in my own point of view, it's actually a boring type of game once you get used to it. Afterward, you will just leave it in Autobet and expect that either you win it or you are in the top 10 of the highest amount wagered rankings because they give rewards for that.
Before, there was a limited type of games, Dice, Plinko, with cryptocurrencies as means of betting but now even in slots they are being accepted in third party online gambling sites.

Before,there was no much games online,but now there are a lots of games to bet online,which will not even require you to go to a casino hall to place your bet.Most of those games are sucking blood,it will suck your money till you go bankrupt.The invention of these online games has done more harm than good to people who love gambling and placing bets online,however,there are people who are happy about these games because they know how to predict the outcome,and how to win.
The moment my friend showed me how to gamble online,I knew there was going to be a problem about savings,and ever since then,saving money has been a big problem to me and also other persons that love online games.

Spot on.

Most people, specially these days, are looking for the quick fix for their problems, and to not take any responsibility of their actions. It's always somebody else's fault.

The problem with that is that we are getting a society that is increasingly getting worse in terms of human development.

Short attention span, no responsibility, no critical thinking, etc. Basically a society of old kids.

If we remember our first days playing gambling, maybe it will feel embarrassing or even painful because we get a lot of experience from our early days playing gambling. And it provides special memories for us that we can remember at this time to provide suggestions that might be useful for those new to gambling. And in the early days, we gambled, maybe we only knew dice, plinko, and a few others but that already made us feel happy playing gambling. And after leaving the gambling game at online crypto casinos for a while, we are back to see how things are progressing and apparently, crypto casinos have come a long way since we first joined.

And it turns out that in recent years, crypto casinos have progressed even more than they used to and each casino has added many gambling game providers. And that obviously gives pleasure to regular gamblers who often play gambling at online crypto casinos so that they keep coming almost every day to gamble in various gambling games. And I don't know what will happen to online crypto casinos in the next 5 years, especially with technology in the gambling business that is getting more advanced from time to time.

I think that a very small percentage of players become addicted, I'm talking about real addiction, when a player is obsessed with winning and trying to find money anywhere to gamble. Often this addiction (if you can call it that) becomes harmless when a player plays several times a week for some pocket money, but he cannot refuse it. So it's just like looking for some kind of emotion in life when the routine is very tiring.

[nullama]

I found something quite interesting recently:

A 2020 study of 32 countries found that the greater the amount of gambling activity in a given country, the more volatile that country's stock-market prices are.

I find this fascinating, the whole economy of a country is in a way dependent of the amount of gambling that the citizens of that country have.

It kinda makes sense though, as some people might see the stock market as a way of gambling as well, even though it is not.

I'm not sure if there is a small percentage of gamblers that are addicted because others won't accept that they are addicted to it; we just haven't noticed it. Right now it is really rampant as they can't control themselves in doing gambling activities because of the fun, and again, let's say that they got lucky to win, but comparing what they lose, it is still more that they lose money. That is why having a habit is really helpful for all gamblers so that they can transfer their attention to it.

very good point and this is like good advice for someone who wants to try gambling for the first time, you have to think about your mentality, mind and readiness of mind not to place too much importance on gambling in the future after entering the gambling room. because if you do not have the right plan at this time there is too much online gambling and wherever we can access gambling and if you can not regulate or prioritize gambling then surely that person will have problems saving because he will continue to gamble and ignore saving for the future.

[Comingdown]

I must have learned to gamble when I was in high school. I just remembered that I was very addicted to gambling because I always won at that time. The bets were small because I was still in high school, but for me at that time it was a big deal. But of course you don't always win at gambling. That's where I learned to steal money from my parents just to gamble and my parents found out about it so they scolded me and told me that gambling is bad for children. I don't remember the others but when I was scolded that's when I stopped gambling.

It's fun and exciting, but it has bad effects when you get addicted to gambling, but of course I was still young then, now I can control myself.

We have priorities in whatever activities we indulged in, just have to cope with good earning stream. We ought to control ourselves whenever we're in the gambling center, and we should always bet on what we can afford to lose, not grieving after losing. It means nothing but to developed the mindset of revenge, that's one terrible path one shouldn't wished to take, because it will never end well. Gambling is only meant for the working class peoples, because if one is not working to earn income either weekly or monthly, it would be a difficult situation for them. They tend to use every penny they lay their hands on to wager which is absolutely wrong.

[madnessteat]

I completely disagree with you. What makes you think gambling is for the working class?

We all know dozens of gamblers who are very successful in life. Many people tend to hide their gambling hobbies and I am sure that among rich people and politicians there are many people who gamble and hide it from the public in order not to feel the censure of those people who are far from gambling.

In my opinion gambling has nothing to do with the wealth of a person.

That's right, many gamblers refuse to say that they are addicted to playing. I myself have never said that I am addicted to playing slots before. From initially playing once a week to playing almost every day for several months. I judged myself not being addicted at that time, but along with the many losses I experienced, I tried to find wins, until I kept playing every day and realized that I was addicted. Lucky for me, at least I'm not playing too intensely anymore, and trying to realize that slots are not to be used as a winning competition against the system. luck is luck, can't be chased.

It was a good experience from your gambling case, but of course you need to learn something from there and not repeat the same mistakes again. Gambling addiction is a condition where you may fail to balance your spending on gambling and your income, this is clearly bad financially so that in the end you will do silly things like steal to fulfill your gambling desires.

Some gamblers also have the same problem, but if you manage to balance it then you may have less to chase after winning than to have fun. In the end gambling will be bad if the gambler fails to be responsible for his gambling, while conversely you will not have a bad impact if you are a responsible gambler.

This statement hit me differently but then, I think the US gambles alot and not just betting, they do plenty of casinos but their economy is one of the best of the best, their stock market is not volatile except when there is global problem which usually affects not just a single but all the countries, so I am not sure if that quote message do any justification to places where there high rate of gambling activity.

However, when I look at my country, there is high level of gambling that happens here and high volatilty is very high as well with stocks but again, is not all, there hardly been more profit or loss in stocks because of lack of growth but of recent, the new government policy is transforming the country in different form, I think that statement is only applicable in few places.

Responsible gamblers are those who can control themselves and gamblers should not delegate their responsibilities to others. It is very clear how the effects of gambling can be a high risk for those around us if there is no self-control from ourselves. Maybe there are still a lot of people out there who still can't take responsibility for themselves, but that will definitely get better if they can do positive things every once in a while to refresh their minds from gambling.

overcoming income streams is the same as managing financial expenses and income or simply planning a budget for gambling, is that true?
always planning a budget for gambling it is indeed the responsibility of a gambler to reduce losses or expenses that are too much than income and gambling is not intended only for the working class but all people have the right to gamble as long as he can afford to lose the money that will be at stake as what you said. there are so many gamblers out there without having a job and just being unemployed but still determined to do this activity because sometimes someone thinks of gambling as a job to generate income but that is a bad idea.
I understand your point about gambling for the working class in the sense that people who have a job can make up for the losses they make for gambling with the income from that job.
