Advice for new comers

[Yatsan]

If you're new to gambling, make sure that you have a job you're doing, because if you truly want to become a gambler then you will have to get money for your gambling each time you're about to make a bet, but when you don't have a financial means, there won't be a source of money to use in funding your wallet for gambling, also, don't steal to gamble by all means, don't use other people's money to gamble as well.

Or simply not to rely with profit from gambling. As we all know ‘gambling’ won’t and will never give you a consistent profit ‘coz it will depend on your fate and for sure no one’s lucky on a regular basis. The impression and our intention on entering this industry, matters a lot. If you are here with the idea of getting rich in an instant, you better stay away of it. Indeed there are people who made fortune from betting but the ratio of those who are losing almost everything, is way bigger than the few ones who managed to hit the jackpot. Same warning to those who plans to borrow money as their capital in gambling activities; simply don’t.

What advice do you have for newcomers diving into the world of crypto gambling? Any lessons you learned the hard way that you'd like to share?

Don't go with the flow that as you are diving into crypto gambling, you are going to be winning rather than losing. Honestly, the losses witnessed on gambling sites are always more than the wins. Therefore, a beginner should learn not to gamble with borrowed money, trying to cover their losses not knowing when to stop gambling, hoping to be wealthy through it or place bets on a regular basis without marking gambling as a fun

[wallet4bitcoin]

Learn the skills of the trade before you adventure into it else you'll not find it funny at all. Most of the gamblers we see that actually complain about their bad gambling skills didn't know much about the rules and nobody gave them a guide as to what to do and how to regulate their gambling activities.

Gambling with crypto or with fiat currency has one major thing in common. You’re using funds to place bets. So it’s pretty much the same advice you could give anyone new to gambling irrespective of whatever means of payment is being used.

Gambling is not any means of making money. This is where the addiction start.
Gambling is fun, if you can continue to gamble responsibly.
Have a gambling budget and do not let it be more than 5% of your weekly income
Control your emotion. If you lose for the day, stop gambling. Do not be tempted.

I think this needs to be repeated continuously so people would know and have it on their minds whenever they gamble. There has been threads on this board which after going through them, one would easily conclude that there are people that really do see gambling as a means of earning an income. This is truly where addiction slowly creeps in. Gambling can be fun if you’re responsible and also sensible with your finances.

When there isn’t any pressure to earn an income from gambling, there wouldn’t be any pressure to play more after losing repeatedly in a bid to win back money lost. No pressure to go borrowing from wherever whenever your finances start depleting.

Don't get addicted!

This is certainly the biggest danger and the main evil that every gambling user can commit.
There are several ways to combat this and I believe the most important is to keep in mind that gambling is a means of entertainment, it will never be a way of making money.
With this in mind, it is also necessary to establish limits... not only on financial expenses but also on the time you spend playing, because the more time you play, the greater the chances of becoming addicted to the game.

[btc_angela]

The main advice for beginners is to keep calm under any circumstances, try not to spend more than the planned amount, and listen more to your own intuition. and also - try not to rush and do everything on a cool head.

Good advise but very hard to execute specially if you are a beginner and there's no one behind you or to mentor you when you gamble. Maybe there is someone that is going to teach you the ins and outs or how to make a bet. But after that, for sure you will be alone to discover what works for you and what's not.

And specially if you have started and the mindset to think that you will always win big? this might be the start that you are going to get addicted. So it's really better to just have fun while you start your gambling activity. If you win then good and then continue and see if you are going to be lucky the next game session. If not, then just stop and not think of chasing your losses.

[klidex]

This must be in our mind every time we play in gambling we must   know that gambling is not the key to success maybe there are many people around the world who are lucky enough to win big amounts in gambling but in reality if we don't have our luck then we cannot win a good amount. Cause gambling base on our luck nothing more nothing less. Anyways we must gamble what we afford to loss in order to prevent addiction cause if we reach beyond our limitations then one thing for sure we wont be successful and there's a chnsce that we fall into addiction.

It's true that gambling is a game of luck and in this world many people gamble and not all of them experience luck, only a few people really make big profits and in reality more people experience losses.
Therefore, we have to be clever at gambling so that we don't fall into addiction which will cause us to experience a lot of losses.
We definitely encounter many victims due to excessive gambling, so we must not follow things that will harm ourselves, we must not think that gambling will produce big profits, this is very difficult to achieve unless we are really lucky.

One key advice, never gamble for "making money" or as a source of income to pay your bills. You should gamble for fun. Think of the losses as a "payment" for the entertainment and the profits as a "rewards" that you can use to play more. Never run after the losses. That will only cause you to lose more. And oh, remember, in the long run, it's the house that will always in. Plus, gamble only if you can afford to gamble. Think of gambling as a luxury that you can live without. If you do start gambling, and feel like you are doing it too much and can't stop, you should start talking to someone about it. But remember, precaution is better than cure.

Thet "gamble only if you can afford to gamble" Is very much true, Sometimes some people used to borrow a money to others or they will use their savings just to get along with others in gambling even in reality, they can't afford to play, which is very dangerous if you're starting to gamble. Never ever use a loan money because it will lead you in having a huge debt, worst case scenario; a bankruptcy.

Control your emotion. If you lose for the day, stop gambling. Do not be tempted.

You've pretty much summarised what a person that wants to engage in gambling should know,  your points are very valid. If a person that does not have any source of income involves himself in gambling, with the hope of earning from it, he might end up becoming worse off than when he engaged in it. Because of the risks that is involved in gambling, which totally depends on luck, is not something that any person can depend on to survive. Instead gambling should primarily be for fun, where you should bet only the amount that you can afford to loose, as it's been advised in this topic. Of course it's very important to have a budget for gambling, and not to exceed the budget, it could be 5% or 10% depending on your income and expenditure.

What i can add to what you've already said is that in overall it takes discipline to achieve the goal of being a responsible gambler. Without discipline to knowing when to stop, then the new gambler is on his way to becoming an addict. And when this happens, the person might end up being a debtor because of loses.

Always be disciplined and set an amount you're willing to risk that you can afford to lose. If you don't let your emotions dictate you, even when you lose, and you stick with your maximum loss amount, that means you're a disciplined gambler. You'll have longer gambling sessions where you'll experience both wins and losses. However, if you aim to improve in gambling and feel more optimistic about making a living from it, then I guess all you need is to develop your strategy since you already have the discipline to control your emotions.

There's a big difference between trade and gambling, don't mix it.

I think majority of people are understand with the "rules" and "the game's work", but unfortunately you can't expect you will win after you understand these two things. Skill is subjective here and I believe an experienced gambler have that, but they still lose in the long run.

Those who enter new gambling must follow many important rules especially in gambling there are some privacy which should not be open to everyone. If you have family bonding then you should never discuss gambling in front of the kids. As for those who are new, they must be careful that the bad aspects of gambling do not become a cause of harm to the society and public. Moreover, those new students who are interested in gambling must first fix their career and study and then make a decision about gambling.

If he only play for fun he will never have that kind of thinking of chasing his losses because when we play for fun, we will only lose small amounts or those amounts that we can only afford to lose easily. But if he already started playing for profit, he can move on to your second suggestion. That is, again, he shouldn't ever think of chasing his losses.

Your metrics for playing for fun isn't really an accurate definition of "playing for fun", not all who play small amounts of money aren't playing for fun and not all who are playing with a lot of funds to back them up are playing for fun and vice versa. My point is that the metrics for playing for fun isn't measured with how much you're spending because you can't really measure the fun in exact and logical terms, plus you can't really tell if someone really did have fun just by their facial expressions or by asking them. Also, if they're playing for profit, wouldn't that imply that they're doing just fine with their gambling so they're probably the least of worries when it comes to chasing losses?

Many of us already experience it and the result is always going to be unpleasant. Sure some get lucky for a while but it will only make you more greedy where you will play again because you said to your self that you don't have any losses anyway but losses will come eventually. Things are only repeating like we are in a loop.

Totally agree with what you're saying (I guess I can't really disagree since we're saying almost the same thing), most people are simple and some of us are just trying to make them as a complicated individual when they're predictable most of the time. Maybe the factor to breaking through this so-called loop would be the strength of will of the individual that's in question like the people who can quit gambling when they want to or the people that can never get enough of gambling high that even if they lose a lot already, they still want to play.

I’m not sure is gambling is a topic that can be discussed by the family unless all of you in the family is involved on gambling but it’s really good idea to not brought it up as topic when there’s a minor around because kids usually have the curiosity to know things on their own. Worst is they learn how to gamble and steal some money on their parents pocket.

Moreover, those new students who are interested in gambling must first fix their career and study and then make a decision about gambling.

As a student, I sometimes involved in small time gambling due to my competitiveness on online games but I know my limit on my bet since I only have limited money. I’m not sure if I can do the same now that online casino is very accessible unlike before which online casino is not that popular and there’s no crypto to use for playing privately.

What advice do you have for newcomers diving into the world of crypto gambling? Any lessons you learned the hard way that you'd like to share?

First advice; if you at coming to gambling to make money because you see people show off, kindly quit because you will disappointed that it's not how you see the result is in reality. Gambling is more than what people say, gambling takes time, courage, and patience; If you lack any of these, you will not last and when you force it, it will even be bad.

Learn to understand your strategy and be consistent with what you want to bet. If you are the casino freak that loves wagering with multiplier, stick to that and if sports is the only thing you understand, learn to improve yourself on it and don't get over joy when people win and the same time, don't over think when you lose, learn to extemporize your skills.

Don't borrow funds to play, don't copy others bets to play, learn to away when the loss is to much and make sure you take aggregate of what you deposit and withdrawals so that it will be easy to distinguish your losses and profit for that week or month, this particular part is very important, learn to know if you are wasting money on gambling or you are making some money at the end of the day.

[Zanab247]

My advice to new comers in the gambling is to keep their personal details safe and secure from the gambling center because, many have fall victims of losing their money from their account without knowing where the scammers came from until they tracy their process before they discovered that they gain access to such person account through online betting. Do everything possible to maintain the amount of money you will be using to gamble weekly or monthly so that you will not be addicted to gambling, and once you are addicted to gambling it will affect your life and home completely.

Don't forget that nobody is perfect in the area of gambling, but you need to be more focus on some sports activities to know the best team that always win their games in any competition, and those who always lose in their games in any competition, and it will help you to get luck in your prediction.

The most prominent advice in the world of gambling is risk, you can lose your money in a short time, that is what must be considered for beginners who want to gamble.

However, whatever the risks that may occur in gambling, the important thing is that you remain committed, thorough, informed and so on. If you enter the world of gambling, the most basic thing is information and guidance from your close friends who often bet, You may not fully understand the advice here, your close friends are more efficient in determining the success of your gambling, The point is to consider irresponsible casino sites so that you can avoid them and play at casinos that are responsible for you.

Unless if you're already old and your kids are already above 18 years old. They are on the right age already to know it, though we can still give them an advice if what they can do to avoid getting addicted on it. They can take note of it, if they truly love us. Addicted gamblers mostly affect their life and I think the occurrence that they can threaten their society is only less but they can always get caught out by the authorities if they do, so we shouldn't worry.

For the students who like to engage in gambling, there are still responsible students out there. It's like they also play video games, and have other habits which we can say close to gambling. It only depends on the person after all. There are even some who are not a student anymore but can still get addicted to gambling.

Gambling should never be a key income source - its dangerous. Considering losses an entertainment fee is smart. Like buying a ticket to a performance, sometimes its wonderful and sometimes not, but you dont expect a refund. The pleasure and fun should drive, not money. Always remember that the house has the advantage. Understanding gambling mechanics isnt pessimism. Its built for profit, yet gamblers dont usually profit. So, your point about gambling only what you can afford to lose is gold. Luxury, not necessity, should be occasional. Your last point is powerful. Self-awareness and seeking help are key. Recognizing a problem is often toughest. Yes, prevention is better than cure. Responsibility, acknowledging the risks, and being ready to quit when the game stops being fun are key. Your opinion deepens responsible gambling discussions.
