How was your first experience with gambling?

[Tellek Garing]

When I first started gambling I was already 30years of age and I knew to some extent the risk and the benefits attached to gambling I was in control of how much I spend at a time once I double my money I left sooner. gambling were my time out, since they were a reward. I had a feeling of been at home and a sense of belonging as soon as I entered the venue there was anticipation as well as friendless of staff and regular players the more I earn the more I spend  at some point and convincing myself I was having a good time it is true that gambling can be addictive but it also has it's own benefit so long you are control.

The more you earn, the more you have the opportunity to invest instead of spending the money even on playing gambling. By using your money to gamble, you really have to control yourself and your money because many people are addicted to gambling without realizing it. So if this is your first time gambling, you should realize that gambling is just entertainment and don't gamble too much so you don't lose more money. You can have fun by gambling, but everything must have clear boundaries so that you don't experience any problems and can still enjoy your free time. This way, you can still gamble well and without having to experience any problems.

If you know this and believe in what gambling truly is I expect you to always take risks with money you can afford to lose, the stuff that won't matter when your money is gone, like you making 200 dollars every month and you using 30 dollars for gambling in a month, always use a thinly part of your hard earned money to try out luck like gambling.

Yes, that's right mate, gambling is about financial control, if we fail to control our finances then whatever money we have will be lost. As you said, it is better to use a little money from our monthly salary to try our luck in gambling, if the money runs out then stop and gamble next month. Don't lose control and get carried away by emotions, it will actually result in greater losses

If you don't have a steady income do not move closer to gambling, the solution is not gambling, the solution is having something you doing that's giving you a steady income, it's better to pursue a steady income than to pursue a gambling career.

Casinos are not a place to make money, but a business that definitely makes a profit. Our loss in gambling is their profit. So don't think of gambling as a job. If don't have a steady income then don't dare to gamble unless are ready for the consequences, it is very likely that the person will be in debt and unable to pay it.

It seems that you have gambling experience when you are 30 years old, but I believe that if you have better control to not continue gambling even if your income is getting bigger you must have control not to increase amount of budget you will use for gambling.
Having fun always cover for gambling addict, but if you can really control yourself you can enjoy every gamble you do.

I used to gamble since childhood but only with close people because it was not normal in my country. But since i was 25 years old i started gambling online but with very little money because i didn't have enough money roots. Also in 2021 i made a lot of money from gambling but due to a small accident i lost a lot of money. However my first online gambling experience was a loss where i lost around $1000 something but after a few days i was winning and in almost every game.

Gambling  is one of the most addictive activities one can get involved  with and most times, the hopes to win big someday has been of the major striking factors why people always gamble  despite how much they might have lost and in some cases, people indirectly chase losses because no one wants to be counted a loser in gambling, hence they persistently gamble with hopes of recovering their capital as well as having some winning on it and even even the winnings outnumber the losses, they still believe that they can do more better and end up losing everything.

I gambling involvement story is a long and funny one but long story short, I basically  gamble with only what I can afford to lose.

It seems that you have a lot of capital for your first gambling experience. $1k USD is a large amount for me if we consider it as a gambling budget but it's nice that you recovered after playing again. If I were in your place and lose $1k USD at my first online gambling, I would probably won't gamble again knowing that I lose so much. It would be a disaster for me and would take a time for me to recover for such loses. I will just stick into physical casino where I find it comfortable.

Yeah, and if you add to it some alcohol you have the perfect combination for losing all your money in a single night.

Casinos know this very well and usually would serve free drinks and food to people that are gambling. They want them to stay as much as possible to get all their money.

There are a lot of reasons why people get into gambling, but I would single out the three most basic ones. The most common in my opinion:
1) Curiosity and the desire for profit. This is the arrival in gambling after exposure to advertising. When a person is bored and he just wants to occupy his time with something.
2) Involvement after the stories of friends. Of course they will talk about what they won. And it will be a temptation for anyone - they will also plunge into the world of gambling and earn so.
3) Troubles in life. Some people come because of the desire to escape from the harsh reality.

4. You been hyped up on seeing others huge win which motivates you to gamble
5. You are stressed and want to have some past time
6. Just nothing, you do just feel like on doing gambling
7. want to become rich in easiest and fastest as possible

Experiencing first with gambling, then im a kind of person who dont really like on losing money on which im really that hesitant on making use of it with gambling.
If ever i do gamble then it would really be always on budget and wont really be that tending to go with those limit lines because if you do then you would lose up even more.
This is why you should really be that careful on whatever things that you would really be deciding specially on attaching yourself with gambling.
It is really just for entertainment purposes nothingless.

It's okay if people hope to win big from gambling, but they must realise they can't always win. But they don't mind if they still want to gamble as long as they can control themselves. But the average novice gambler can't control himself and plays too often until his money runs out. However, they also do not stop their gambling activities even though they have had a lot of losing experience because they still hope too much to win. That makes many beginners become gamblers who gamble regularly, and many of them find it difficult to stop their gambling activities.

Best for you that you start gambling when you were already 30  years or above and that is a good age to start anything close to risk and addictions tendencies since at that age you will be able to control what you allow and do not allow while gambling,  but then what made it easier for you is because of your location because from what you have said you may be from a country where gambling is very unpopular and of that be the case,  it becomes easier to stay away from it until you grow to the level.

But in countries like the US where gambling is very popular and regulated by the government,  any child above 18 already knows what gambling is and how to go about it,  I guess that is what differentiates the level of exposure of both.

Always in everything we do, whether in the game, casino or not, because we have to consider many things, 'first in a casino things tend to turn out for the better or for the player's depending on their luck, this is something that can be merdiserr' Obviously, now, if they don't play responsibly, things that are very important, that first experience can become a nightmare, which is not the idea, because the idea of all this is that the player, for the first time playing, will be have a good experience, maybe not that you win, but that you enjoy it and that you learn that games of chance, casinos, you should not have the illusion that you have to play and win, because that is something that cannot be denied, now we We have many ways to be able to show our first time, mine at least in an online casino, it was only in freebitco.in and the truth is I did quite well, I took my balance almost up to 1mBTC, and I didn't really know what I was doing I was just playing I heard playing and he told me that the game in the casino was very easy, and besides it is easy to win, I wanted to reach 1btc once and for all and wow the aspirations at that time were not quite big, of course it is obvious that I did not achieve it, but partly when we do other things, well, we are starting to separate ourselves from the casinos, apart from the fact that I am a person who gets bored quickly and well, falling into it is not an addiction, so maybe it is what saved me and continues to save me , and I get tired quickly of these activities, of course I can't deny that sometimes it becomes nice, fun, but not to the point that things become addictive.

In this order of ideas things can be seen in a very obtrusive way, there are many people who just enter a casino and what they do is look for quick money to continue playing, the truth is I don't understand them, as they don't care if they win or not. No, then it is something that I sometimes think has to be careful because basically things always depend on the response of a novice.

[Weawant]

I was first introduced to gambling by a friend, as at then I was much younger as compared to now although I was above the minimum age for gambling in my country. This friend of mine usually visits a gambling hose to place his bet and a printed copy of his stakes where usually given to him, I usually escort him to place his bets as he does invite me to join him whenever he wants to visit the gambling house.

A day came he was lucky and he won a good amount of money right before me and immediately it caught my interest to learn because of course I taught I could be the next lucky winner so going back home I asked this friend of mine to teach me and step by step he walked me through the rules and how to place a bet so I saved up some money and stormed the gaming house.

This time alone not in my friends company and I did placed a bet, I was fortunate to get what we call beginners luck, so I won my first bet and it caught my interest to continue maybe I could be lucky again and I did and now trust me I can't tell how much have lost to gambling or how much have won either but then I try as much as possible to keep it under control and gamble responsibly.

No, then it is something that I sometimes think has to be careful because basically things always depend on the response of a novice.

For a beginner, they may still be confused about what they can play, especially since in casinos, there are many gambling games that they can play. If they just choose the gambling game because they are curious to play it, then after playing that gambling game for one round, they will move on to another gambling game. For their first experience, some of them managed to win a lot, and some lost a lot because it depended on their own luck so that they would experience various experiences. They told their friends about their experiences; some decided to return to gambling, and some chose to stop gambling.

People new to casinos can lose money quickly and find something different, so they keep gambling another day. This becomes a problem for some gamblers because they will become addicted to gambling if they are not accompanied by learning self-control. And many have become addicted to gambling, which adds to the problems for those who gamble.

Yes, gambling is fun when you know how to play, control yourself and you know where your limits are.
When you overdo it, you might become an addict in gambling without knowing it.
There are people who don't know yet that they are already addicted to gambling until they are buried
in debt or have nothing left for their family.

It doesn't matter to them as people who are new to gambling experiencing failure and losing money, usually if new people are like that and can control their emotions they will learn from the defeats they experience so they can play better in the next game, but if those who play don't controlling their emotions will usually get trapped and become addicted without control.

It is important for a new user to learn more from each game he plays the more he plays the more experience he will gain but as long as he still controls his emotions and limits his gambling budget of course it is still within safe limits, I have done that and learned a lot from each my losses and never chase wins to return the money lost, still learn to understand that gambling is just for fun.

the more you have the opportunity to invest instead of spending the money even on playing gambling. By using your money to gamble, you really have to control yourself and your money because many people are addicted to gambling without realizing it. So if this is your first time gambling, you should realize that gambling is just entertainment and don't gamble too much so you don't lose more money.

You are right, ethereumhunter, sometimes it gives rise to a difficult situation where even some who are addicted to gambling or some other stuff do not realize how addicted they have become, and in some cases, you can just ask the gambler to keep in check of their gambling habit, and you will be surprised that a compulsive gambler is telling you that "all's good," they are not even making any mistakes at all, mean while they are already doing things inappropriately.

Right from when I started gambling, I have not really seen myself gambling more than I budgeted. I have always staked only the money that I am willing to gamble with, and I would be affected if all games got blown.

Those who don't realize it because they don't see what changes they have experienced feel they are still fine in living their lives. But not because their psychology has changed and is different from before they knew about gambling, but they don't realize it because they don't introspect what they are doing.

I've been through bad things like going over budget and so on, but I'm grateful that I'm back to normal again and haven't done the stupid things I did in the past in gambling. And now, I still try not to gamble more than I can. I don't want to experience a bad incident where I can't sleep well. And you are really lucky to still be able to avoid excessive gambling and I hope you don't gamble too much.

[TobeyHolo]

The first time I ventured into a casino was out of sheer curiosity. In the beginning, despite my best efforts and strategies, luck seemed to elude me. Every spin of the wheel, every roll of the dice, every card dealt felt like it was conspiring against me. I was shown around by a friend who had played close to every single casino game.

Eventually him and I parted and I sat down at a blackjack table with my last $300. At first, my cards were terrible, and I lost hand after hand on the minimum bet ($40). But then, during a flip of luck, I was dealt an ace and a face card – a blackjack. This roll kept going until I was even and even up slightly! That thrill of winning big hooked me instantly. It made me see why so many get lost in the game.
