How was your first experience with gambling?

A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.This saying is the only reason I am back at gambling and playing slot machines otherwise I would have quit a long long time ago.In the beginnings everyone of us starts playing for fun but the fun then becomes a desire to play almost every day and this is how addiction starts to grow.As I said that saying is my only motivation to try again but of course when I see that I am trying and trying and not winning anything it is plain stupid to continue to play as we get nothing in return.

The slots used to be different before some time they usually tease you with some nice wins when you were playing with the lowest bet yet now they don't care and they eat everything up from our balance,inflation must have gotten the slots too  .

Well, in theory, but you also need to have enough money to continue playing until you win that last time.

Also, there are some games that have a maximum bet, which might not allow you to win that last time.

Gamblers need to accept the reality, gambling is supposed to be a hobby and not our main occupation, while the idea of earning a lot of money and also have fun in the process is a very attractive proposition, we also need to consider how likely is it for us to obtain those results? And it should be obvious this is not very likely, as the games offered by the casinos are naturally disadvantageous to us, and while on the short term we could earn some money, when it comes to the long term we will lose it.

Definitely making gambling a main occupation is putting yourself at a disadvantage already as you will not have the fun that comes with it which makes you more prone to reckless gambling. But making a means of catching fun, maybe not necessarily a hobby, will make you invest less emotions and make you have a healthy gambling habit.

I always talk about emotions when ever am talking about gambling because if you can keep your emotions in check while gambling then you may likely be a better and healthy gambler, because you will most likely not pursue your losses as the outcome of the game is something you have programmed your mind to accept whatever outcome, but with too much emotions attached to will most likely chase losses and gamble unhealthy.

Usually the Casino needs to make profit and so they make profits when we loose to them so they would naturally tilt the games in your disadvantage but it's left with you to literally not allow yourself get caught up so much with this disadvantage by setting your mind to accept possible outcomes and know when not to continue again, little winnings should get you too excited and losses aswell shouldn't get you too emotional.

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

Though others may claim to have several reasons why they got into gambling, but I'm sure that 90% of gambler's today got into gambling simply because of the need/desire to make quick money, which my own case is not an exception to it, because I can remember many years ago after college when I never had any money, I saw some friends who were giving testimony how they staked #100 naira (i.e equivalent to $0.1) and ended up winning #50,000 (i.e approx. $50), and immediately that got my attention, since I needed money to settle some personal bills, which since then, I must confess it's been both happy & sad experience, as I have lost some games and also won some.
So on the nutshell, I got into gambling because of the need for money back then after college when I had no job.

To be honest I can't remember if I went to a physical casino or if I had placed a bet online.  I know the first bet I ever made on sports (professionally that is, not like a bet with a friend or family member) was on Bovada, which I stupidly still use today (calvin ayres and Craig Wright have a connection somehow I believe).  But I remember using a credit card to fund the $100 bet on a super bowl game.  I lost lol.

My first experience with gambling wasn't that bad to be honest. I remember winning a huge amount of money during my initial bets and my friends jokingly called it 'the beginner's luck.' It was unexpected but I managed to win around $2k by placing bets on multiple football games over the weekend including some from the UEFA Champions League.

I was so happy with my win and that marked the beginning of my gambling journey. However, I did experience quite a few losses afterward. Eventually, I decided to step back and not think about it too much and nowadays, I play for fun and don't invest a a lot of f money into it.

Yeah, that is usually how it goes, either you lose a lot in the beginning and always remember that and never continue or you just get lucky and start gambling more and more until you lose everything that you have won before...

It's just how it works for most people

Yes, beginner's luck does exist, although not all beginners can get it. Only the truly deserving will be able to get that “beginner's luck,” while the rest will get trapped deeper into gambling without getting out of it. Maybe other beginners can also get that beginner's luck and usually they tell how that lucky moment came.

After getting that beginner's luck, usually, if someone continues to gamble again the next day or a few days later, they won't be able to repeat it and will lose a lot of money. That was if they didn't think yesterday's win was just beginner's luck that could never be repeated.

I dont believe on beginners luck considering that gambling could really be only having that 2 possible outcome which is losing and winning and on the time that you are just starting gambling then normally you would really be choosing in between two possible options on which you would really be able to win or having those sidebets which neither those things could reach out or not. It does really depend on the situation on which neither you would really be making yourself that impulsive after that or you would really be still on your control on the time that you would be able to have your first win.
In my case then im not really that much that too positive towards gambling but rather it is really just solely just for fun. There are really just those people who are really setting out their standards
even if its already unrealistic and this is where people would start to admit out that they have done something wrong.

In gambling, you really rely on luck, but if someone is gambling for the first time and they win, I think this is very rare and even if there is, of course they have to be able to control themselves in playing the game so as not to make the game you are playing end quickly. and you can't enjoy it. Gambling is just for fun, only some people can do it because they can know when they are doing it and when they should stop and of course they will not spend their money more than they have set for gambling.

It's okay if you don't believe in beginner's luck but it really happens to some beginner gamblers who are curious about gambling. But only a few can get that luck and win a lot of money from their initial gambling. Others will only experience defeat which can make them curious, especially if their friends can win. They will return to gambling again the next day or a few days later but the results are not that good. And if they can't control their gambling, problem after problem will come one by one and make them eventually become addicted.

It's good if you can think of gambling as entertainment and that's what we have to do so that we don't experience serious problems. And not many can do what you do because others will try to win from other gambling games. But then again, only a few can win while others will lose.

Many people have heard about gambling from their local communities or for a long time. There are traditional forms of gambling that are similar to the modern types we see today. Personally, I became more familiar with online gambling after joining Bitcointalk, and I found some online casinos interesting. I don't gamble much, so I haven't spent a lot on it. The main idea behind gambling is for fun, but some people make the mistake of seeing it as a way to earn a living. While it's possible to win money through gambling, it's not a reliable source of income, and it's important to gamble responsibly and not depend on it for your livelihood.

[asyakashi]

not too bad. Initially I just did a review on a new gambling site and it would immediately get paid. somehow I accidentally played a game that I didn't understand how the balance in my wallet moved. Luckily it was a big win for me. I am grateful because I borrowed my friend's money for a deposit and I didn't experience any loss at all and even still made a profit.

Yes, almost the average gambler will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle, only those who have lost everything can get out of the circle because even though they want to make another deposit, they no longer have the funds so they are forced to stop gambling.
My first experience playing gambling was because my friend forced me to try my luck in gambling games and he introduced me to many types of games and finally I was interested in trying them so I decided to make a deposit and play slot games, but after I experienced several losses, in Finally I realized that gambling was just entertainment and should not be considered anything more than that.

I guess we can indeed count you as one of the most lucky ones in gambling, not very many people took such risk as borrowing money from a friend, gambling with it, and at the end of the day, coming out of the game profitable. In fact, I would say that it is only 1 or 2 persons out of 100 people that get so lucky as you from time to time.

And above all, i hope you understand that what you did was actually very wrong, it is a big risk to gamble with borrowed money, one that is highly discouraged, i hope you have never tried such again, and never so such regardless of the fact that your first attempt came out positive, such luck is rare, and have in mind that you might not be this lucky if you decide to try this again next time.

That's right, at first I was also trapped in gambling games because it was difficult to control myself and of course it was difficult to get out, if I still had money I would keep gambling until it ran out. But this was before, now I can control myself when I gamble and can control my money, when should I play, when should I stop. This is what we must have before playing gambling, namely being able to control ourselves and not be greedy. Without it you will be stuck in it.

If you can control yourself in gambling it is easy to overcome all obstacles but some gamblers have no problem at the moment but are suspected to be addicted in the future, they can take some steps to control themselves. This includes setting limits on gambling. Apart from this determining the amount of money spent on gambling can also be a good step in this regard also the more time spent gambling the more money wasted. Set a budget before the game and stick to it great if there is a win but don't be disappointed if the luck doesn't continue.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Logically right, to have extra money you need to look for other options, doubling your money into gambling that's something that really hard to achieved, sometimes you may win and most of the time you are at risk, what's important is you have that will to move forward, when you lose you need to assess yourself and see if you are still capable of controlling yourself, losing that control will always be the risk behind this activity.

Always have that discipline to make sure not to fall into any potential risk with your financial and mental aspects.

Gamblers need to accept the reality, gambling is supposed to be a hobby and not our main occupation, while the idea of earning a lot of money and also have fun in the process is a very attractive proposition, we also need to consider how likely is it for us to obtain those results?

A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.This saying is the only reason I am back at gambling and playing slot machines otherwise I would have quit a long long time ago.In the beginnings everyone of us starts playing for fun but the fun then becomes a desire to play almost every day and this is how addiction starts to grow.As I said that saying is my only motivation to try again but of course when I see that I am trying and trying and not winning anything it is plain stupid to continue to play as we get nothing in return.

Well, we always sit and play in the trameóndas, because there are many sensations that it can cause us, first of all, a long time ago, I tried to play in the trameónfas and it's like you say, it consumed all my balance and I got a bad idea about the trameóndas. Honestly, I didn't like them, because I didn't see them as very reliable. What I thought was that to play slots, you had to have a lot of balance to see if you could do something, so for a long time I didn't play slots because I knew that would make me lose. So once at one point I started playing slot machines with the slightest amount of money, and then I felt very bad while playing, in fact because I felt very unstressed, from that moment on I understood that slot machines for me are like therapy, it's like a gift to myself, where I don't mind losing, winning is always good, so I told myself that to play the tragmewaves I was always going to put very little balance, but if I lose it it doesn't matter to me, because I have enjoyed that, no I know if it's because of the music or because of the effect of the game, maybe the free slots that we sometimes win, but I love them, especially the pragmatic slots, so things are the way they are, I've always said that the slots are For me a means or service of entertainment.

Since I saw that I can feel very good playing slots, which serve to relax, well I've only been doing that since then, I'm not looking for game but entertainment, or I can deny that these games go very quickly, sometimes I can't last sometimes even two minutes , but that's the game, those are the conditions that are apparent, and as players we must accept the game as it is, there is no other way, I have seen how some players play slots to win, and bet large amounts, I'm talking about people who have betrayed up to 200usd and they have won the jackpot, I really admire them and I know that this can be a great initiative to motivate other players, it is something incredible.

Sometimes gamblers underestimate financial management and believe that they will not become gambling addicts. However, if losses come continuously, they can become emotional and start to lose self-control and increase their bets. This emotional moment is what makes people addicted, especially those who gamble too often

In my opinion, financial management, self-management and time management are important things in gambling. Even though we gamble for fun, because it is related to money, we have to be careful in managing it

It is not surprising that we have been trapped in gambling at the beginning we know gambling. It seems like there have been many novice gamblers who felt it, including me at the beginning when I played gambling. But it depends on the novice gambler because if he can realize it, he will learn to control himself before everything becomes worse. He will not let himself be trapped deeper in gambling so he will try not to gamble more often. Only by controlling himself he can not experience gambling addiction and keep gambling with good self-control.

Well, the thing is that at first it will all look and feel like fun to us when we gamble at first and as a novice, if you are lucky to have won the game it becomes as if you have all the luck and want to go deeper until and try out more luck until he loses and learn a lesson,  so is very important for a first-time gambler to have self-restriction and limit in our gambling activities.

But then we all have to acknowledge the fact that first-time experience is always exciting to a gambler even as you experience some ugly experiences.

Controlling ourselves when gambling is a very important thing to do so that we don't cause big losses to ourselves or others. Setting limits when gambling can protect our finances so that we don't take all the money we have to gamble and this really helps us not to become addicted to gambling. In my opinion, people who can control themselves in gambling certainly have a lot of experience in the field of gambling so they know when to do it and when to stop.
