How do i handle my first gambling experience

[STT]

I was gambling my whole life so the question seems strange to me.  It shouldnt be too much of a shock to the system of anyone whose played normal games before or went to a fun fair as many games resemble some kind of risk reward which is a very similar idea.   Go slow on the gambling amounts, be sure of the game win or lose before risking anything you will miss especially.   Dont ask us, learning is half the fun surely.

Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

Some posts above mentioned the budget, and on top of that, you should check the deposit and withdrawal limits of the casino you've picked because, at some casinos, they only accept specific amounts.

Depending on your luck, you could expect your first session to end within minutes or last for more than an hour.

I'd recommend holding off your emotions whenever you gamble so you don't make rash decisions like going after your losses.

How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?

It is not something to be too serious about that you plan so much, just get conversant with how to play the game. If it is a skill based game, practice before you play, if it is a luck based game, understand how to play before you start gambling, so you do not end up loosing in a luck based game simply because you do not know how to place bets correctly.

What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?

Expect to loose.

Take it in good faith, understand than gambling is for fun.

Are you going to a casino? Just have fun, IMO it's not really that big a deal. Expect to lose whatever money you set aside to gamble with and enjoy yourself.

You must prepare enough money and know how long you will gamble. Determine where to gamble by looking for a casino from this forum. No need to look for casinos from outside the forum because we don't know anything.

You don't need to expect anything from gambling because gambling is entertainment. You only gamble according to the gambling game you want and stop gambling once you have had enough. Don't be tempted to deposit more money. It will make you unable to stop gambling before all your money is gone.

You just need to accept the results of your gambling and never think about recovering your losses if you lose. And don't think about chasing win another day. It will make you want to return to gambling even more and your goals for gambling may change at that time.

First of all, you should focus your attention on losses. I know that many players cloud their brains with rose-colored dreams, but this is extremely dangerous for your financial health. Come down from heaven to earth. It is unlikely that anyone will be happy with your winnings except you. Also, don't get too excited about short-term gains. Everyone has them, but over the long term their significance is gradually lost.
      Think carefully about your strategy. Try to collect statistics of your results and analyze where you lose money and where you gain. Statistics are stubborn things and they will clearly show where you are losing money, if you are actually losing it. Statistics allow you to get rid of unnecessary emotions.

Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.

Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

If you are gambling for first time, then let me give you some basic suggestions. Gamble with the money that you can afford to lose. Gambling is not sure money. There is equivalent risk that you might lose the money. Hence you need to be mentally prepared for that. Gambling is all about pure luck, so no strategy can really help you. All that is needed is pure good luck. Wish you all the best for your gambling career.

not sure if you are really a Newbies in Gambling because your post history tells different story

I just felt I should bring this up here maybe it will help someone in managing expectations and the entire gambling process.

From experience, I have realised that many people run into problems when they focused so much on winning a particular bet amd when such bet fails, they easily slide into psychological crisis.  Considering that gambling is a game of probability with the chances of losing higher than that of winning, it is therefore expected we work out ways of approaching it so we can remain profitable.

Those who fall into this category pf gamblers that become deppressd if their bet goes against their expectation is because of over reliance on their ability to predict the games and making it look as if it possible to make a sure bet,  this is because many of them think that sportbet os a way of making money through it winning,  and even from your explanation os seems you the ops also have the same mindset on gambling or should I say sport betting.

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

Even with just one game selection,  there is still no assurance of the bet becoming a winning bets if that be the case,  so selecting 4 games is already a risk on your bets since your chances of losing the bet will be increased.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.

You should always use an amount you can afford to lose and be comfortable with at all time,  because in your entire writing,  there is no where you mention your bet amount. After all, finance is one of the most important aspects that affects gamblers when the loss happens and it has been the measure cause of depression lately.

but considering that what you are saying is true here ,I think I will answer the first question as that is the most important part here , don't turn your self into greediness .

and if you have a greedy attitude then never gamble because you will ended being addict that's for sure.

Your first gambling experience could be bad or good. If you face satisfactory results from your first experience, don't get carried away with it and keep yourself in control not to gamble continuously even when you are on a winning streak - sometimes withdrawing from the game is the best decision. But if you face bad results, don't despair and stress about it, because bad results are very normal in gambling and you should stop if you experience a losing streak. And make sure that the money you gamble with is money that you are ready to lose, because if you still feel too worried about losing that money, you shouldn't gamble in the first place.

With all the stuff about what to right and what not to do right, I think that it's kind of weird because people are forgetting the most basic and simple thing to do in different setting and in this case it's gambling, and in the simplest of things it should be that we just have fun and enjoy the experience, there should be nothing complicated when doing that right?

Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?

Know the games first. Where are you good at? If it's sports then try the sports betting option. I guess no one is better in casino games because most of them rely on the system so it's you against the house and it is not skill-based.
Poker. They are also offering live poker nowadays, you might want to check that out if you like table games like that. There's also the Esports now if you are into electronic games.

What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?

Expect to win in casino games. As much as possible they will make it appealing to most new gamblers so they let them win. But, once you hit the first VIP rank, that's where it gets tricky. I made good money when I was a newbie although I did not haste to be a VIP rank. Don't chase the bonuses, chase the winnings.

How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

Stay calm. Don't let it get to your head. Expect the gambling to take it all back after a win. Stay composed, and change games if possible, after you win. Go somewhere where there's a high chance you could increase it and withdraw if you think it's enough. Stress will sink in when you are losing, try controlling that too.
And my final tip is to have a planned amount when you think it's time to withdraw the money. Also, have a plan on how much you can afford to lose per day, and do not go over that. Stay disciplined.
Enjoy playing.

I will try to answer your question slowly, especially when I first bet on gambling, my nervous pressure and blood pressure were uncontrollable. I always thought that I might win the first bet of my life but the first bet of my life I was totally disappointed and I lost. Since the stakes were very low especially the $10 stakes, I didn't feel depressed even though I lost the first stake in my life with only low-amount stakes.
Since you are new to gambling, prepare yourself mentally. You consider gambling only as a source of entertainment. Gambling should never be considered as a source of income and here you should not go overboard. If you are too greedy and you cannot control gambling then you should not enter here.

How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?

Depends on the game you will play make sure that you know it or you have an idea of what are going to play, where are you betting and what kind of system it has, also choose the website that is listed as legitimate to make sure that you will not get into scam website and also KYC, see if the website is requiring KYC, remember you can't get your withdrawal money if you didn't pass the KYC.

What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?

Don't expect, if you don't expect then you will not feel disappointed or hurt no matter what the result of your first gambling is, and also expect that there is a big chance that you will lose the capital you dedicated for gambling. if you win at your first gambling then congrats, don't be greedy secure the capital you have and gamble only the profit you get from your first win if there is.

How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?

How do you react? as I said don't expect, less expectation means you will not hurt from the lose and also its okay to be frustrated but don't let that got in to you just enjoy your first experience and analyse if you can take the toll of doing gambling.

Has no one else been struck by what the OP is asking? I find the question too banal, and looking at the OP's post history I see that he has written some posts already in gambling discussion, for example:

<...>

Even with just one game selection,  there is still no assurance of the bet becoming a winning bets if that be the case,  so selecting 4 games is already a risk on your bets since your chances of losing the bet will be increased.

<...>

You should always use an amount you can afford to lose and be comfortable with at all time,  because in your entire writing,  there is no where you mention your bet amount. After all, finance is one of the most important aspects that affects gamblers when the loss happens and it has been the measure cause of depression lately.

It is not coherent to write that post and open this thread. If he wrote more frequently I would say that he is trying to build up an account with posts in the gambling section in order to be accepted into casino campaigns in the future.

Start with demo account, free coins or faucet, you will know how it feels when you're lose or win. But don't expect the outcome when you gamble using demo account and real account is same because based on my experience you will win more in demo account instead of in real account.

While gambling, you need to feel whether gambling can bring happiness for you or not, if you didn't feel happy, you can stop to gamble or vice versa.

Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

first and most important thing is that you have to prepare yourself and your mind to consider gambling as a fun game without having to hope for big wins and you have to admit that gambling is not a place to make money.

this is a very important thought pattern and you must really maintain it to continue to be a healthy gambler without being tempted by anything tempting and then you must always gamble responsibly and always plan your budget within one month by taking 3%-5% of your income. you can bet within one month and use it on games that have the smallest betting amount and don't have a big risk, for example sports betting.
It's quite easy to become a beginner gambler but still be a healthy gambler as long as you really stick to the commitments you have planned and another important thing is never to be tempted by big wins because it's all just about luck.
some things you also have to think about are maintaining your emotions because this is very important when in gambling you will definitely lose more often than you win and you have to really understand this and stop immediately after losing a few times and come back again a few days later.

[Getmon]

I am astonished that a senior citizen has no gambling involvement in life and is just beginning to experience gambling games. In any case, gambling has no age necessity. Many elderly individuals have additional opportunities to gamble because they are retired from their work and are enjoying the benefits of years of hard work.

I just want to share it again with the new gamblers that they stick to their budget. Accept that there is a tendency to lose and be content with modest winnings. Discipline and satisfaction are important elements of gambling.

[Odusko]

First you have to settle the fact that, gambling is all about the lose, most times you experience more loses than you thought and expected so make it a part of you to be ok to lose and just have fun, because that is what you are going to get from the very beginning.
Some times, you will be confronted with alot of issues, and choice to choose from either to continue to gamble or quit but my advice is that, you should gamble with an amount that you willing to lose all and still be able to gamble tomorrow just to have the fun, if you build yourself with such mindset, you will be very ok with whatever outcome that comes your way be it winning or loses because those are the two experience that are going to form your overall character while you gamble.

No need to be too complicated and maybe you already know that the first thing that all gamblers must prepare is a budget as a condition for getting involved, and another thing maybe I will slightly suggest that you must remain careful if you are already involved there because after all this is a very gambling that involves risks that can be far greater than what you imagine. So stick to very good risk management and be assertive there, and also I don't forget to remind that it's best to bring a very small budget amount in the sense that you won't feel too disappointed if it's lost.

I would not advise anyone to put too much hope in winning, because this will only make you feel too disappointed if you end up losing, on the other hand think of gambling as a place for you to fill your spare time when and bored and without bringing any seriousness to the involvement, keep your awareness and understand correctly what gambling is really about, I think this should be able to keep you safe, but if you don't do it then that's another thing.

[bitbollo]

before becoming a "gambler" I would suggest studying money management, mathematics, odds, events and in general the statistics behind gambling in general.
play without money (likewise you write on a piece of paper your predictions) or much better play with pennies.

ironically the first time you play probably you will win "beginner's luck" we call in Italy.
Pay attention, some games have designs specifically designed to "reward" the casual/first time player...
