How my gambling life started.

[Negotiation]

The story is not much different from what I experienced but all gambling is just for fun because playing it doesn't involve making money and only bets very small amounts and the development of the times makes more people gamble online and actually there is a quite striking difference from gamble together with friends by gambling at online casinos, if we really gamble for fun usually playing with friends will feel much more enjoyable than gambling at online casinos, but the advantage of online casinos is that they can be played anytime and anywhere so when we feel bored, even without friends we can immediately get rid of boredom by gambling.

Such a relatable story and I do agree with you regarding gambling being an entertainment thing not a profit prospect but a lot of people don't know that anyway, they don't know it yet but they don't gamble for fun, when money's involved, that's going to be your only main focus, you will never be able to move your mind out of the gutter created by greed, the only people that can get out of the bind that is gambling for profit is those that are aware of what they're doing and what effect does their gambling problem has on other people.

No one is at risk if gambling is seen as a form of entertainment but it is true that many gamblers are not aware of gambling. Environmental factors such as the influence of peers exposed to gambling at an early age and the availability of gambling opportunities can also contribute to the development of gambling addiction. Additionally the brain's reinforcement and reward processes associated with gambling may vary from person to person affecting their susceptibility to addiction.

Time goes that it becomes unusual that we began to feel offenced and rebelled that we as relatives(1 family) are extorting from each other without empathy for one another and then, we unconciously grew wild developing in sentiments, greeds and taking it as an avenue to make profits.
Alongside, it was more of serious business than the just fun.

Then the casino and other online bet platforms was introduced in time. This was how I was exposed and my begining of gambling life!

Well, actually that's the other side that we have that we are born with. yeah, as you said in your thread. starting to feel offended, rebelling, blackmailing each other, even losing empathy. Then, greed takes part in order to reap as much profit as possible. What started out just for fun, is slowly being eroded without realizing it by the greed and unconsciousness of the people involved in your posts. Then, the era of online betting platforms was introduced with the development and sophistication of technology, betting fans were very enthusiastic about welcoming it. That's natural, because it makes it easier without having to look for opponents to gamble with. There are various features introduced by online casino platforms, regardless of the site. No need to go to an offline casino, bet with friends or family. In online casinos, we can play as we wish and even do it secretly. well, what you say in this thread, is an experience experienced by many gamblers. but because you are discussing the other side of gambling, things that you and I have mentioned in this post. So, it's not the casino platform that makes someone unusual.  However, it is the individual problem that is the real problem. the most common case is, the case of an addicted gambler. there are many who look for justifications, related to advertising, casino platforms and the like. But in essence, we are the ones who are responsible for what we do. Well, I guess, do you agree with what I said?

[Wiwo]

Gambling experience for beginner is almost same most especially when it has to do with how we managed ourselves around it and becoming firm and stable base on emotions and our ability to withstand loses and other aspects that comes along with Gambling and it risks and jow we grow along with it, gambling is quite unique that it experience seems to be same.

But gambling with friends and family may not be a good approach I will rather gamble on an online casino rather than visiting a physical casinos with family or friend.

[Raflesia]

This kind of thinking is actually difficult to eliminate because we find it difficult to stop the gambling activities that we do considering our thinking is too naive in interpreting gambling .

We should be aware that gambling is not a job but we are always determined to treat gambling like a job and make this a livelihood on the pretext that gambling is one of the tools to get quick profits but in the end this is precisely what traps us which makes us focus on that thought which results in us always thinking that gambling is the only way to get rice.This should be avoided but there are still many people who are sometimes naive and always make the same mistakes that make us addicted and unable to manage the money in the gambling that we do .

I agree with you. We can never consider gambling as a job. If we consider gambling and job or business to be the same, then I am a fool. Gambling should never be considered equal to job or business.

Gambling should be considered as a game. We can either lose money or make money on it. None of us can guarantee that we will always make money gambling. If we don't work, or I have no other means of earning money, how will I cover my daily household expenses when we lose money gambling? So we must have a source of income. Otherwise we have to be under mental pressure if we lose money in gambling.
So we all should be aware. If we treat gambling like a job, it won't take long for us to be broke.

If our thinking is kept rational, this will never happen but in some conditions that occur there is a lot of naive thinking about this which makes it seem as if the impossible is possible. Gambling in the end will not change anything especially we also seem to have to rethink that what jobs ultimately spend money first before getting paid so when we become a gambler then we have to think more clearly so that the thought that gambling will be used as a job and definitely get income for daily needs is ridiculous lol.

We are already considered bad when we become a gambler if we look at the stigma of the wider community today but we also must not forget the fact that gambling is only for entertainment not to find a source of wealth, although it is not wrong to expect to win but that does not mean we consider it a job.

Actually it is really just that too impossible that you wont really be able to notice it out that you are already losing that much because it would really be impossible  that you wont really be able to see
on how much you have lost already. If you are someone whose aware but have just simply ignored just because you do tolerate out that kind of gambling addiction then you are the ones who do make out such problem and this is something that you must really be that avoiding in the first place because once you do have that kind of problem then resolving it out would really be that pain in the ass.
People wont really be stopping not until on the time that they wont really be able to experience the worst, people would learn on the time that they are experiencing the moment that they cant be able to play just because they dont have the money for them to fund on. This is why if you dont like to suffer up such condition then it would really be that best that you do really know on how to
have that self control.

No, when your minds thinks about playing gambling more than the other activity, you will not notice that you already lose much money because your focus will be at gambling and not the other activity. That's why we as a normal people will say that's impossible if we can't realizes because we are not in their position. You will not feel about your losing because you wants to make money from gambling no matter if you already lose much money. If people will not realize when they must stop, they will become addicted to gambling and that will not takes too long because they will comes back to gambling and stay there longer than usual. But before someone involve in gambling deeper than the other people, they needs to learn about controlling themselves so they can have good self control when playing gambling. They will have a chance to prevents the big lose and not trying to playing gambling longer than usual because they know that will caused them losing more money.

You would only notice it on the time that you have seen yourself that you are already having nothing left on your pocket or money that you could be able to play on, or you would really be able to see that you cant really be able to provide something or buy up you do want because you do lack funds or money on which this is something a primary problem for most gamblers who do mess up their lives
due to compulsive gambling and this is something that must be avoided but well not all people would really be having that kind of thinking about gambling and they would really be tolerating it
as much as they could.

Gambling isnt bad if you are really that responsible towards it. Treat it as a form of fun and entertainment and not something that you would really be making it as a source of income

But in essence, we are the ones who are responsible for what we do. Well, I guess, do you agree with what I said?

It's true, by initially gambling for fun or just for fun as you said, over time changes can occur, where gambling was previously just for fun but will gradually become a habit that can't be left behind and eventually puts you in a bad position. We are addicted to gambling which is detrimental financially and in other aspects. What you say is true, especially now that there is online casino gambling which makes it easier for many gamblers to carry out their habit without having to step foot into a physical casino gambling place.

I agree with you, it is true that they become addicted and experience big losses because they themselves are wrong in gambling, where they gamble inappropriately, they go too far with the gambling they do, so it causes them to experience such big losses. and triggers the destruction of his own life. We must be able to take responsibility for all the actions we take, including the gambling we do, because it is our own actions, even though we see or try strategies used by other people who are said to be able to win, but the actions are purely because of us.

How my gambling life started is when I was small, i usually see my dad playing lottery games. Though I didn know what it was all about, but I know my dad always come with something at hand praising himself as the king of lottery or gambling. but I never knew what he was doing then, and he promised me that our lives will change very soon, up till date I haven't seen the suprised. And as a child I believed so much on my dad. He started sending me to play game for him which I did. gradually I started playing my own. and started having same hope of my dad till today I and my father have not yet won what we planned for gambling. That is to tell you that gambling is very difficult and that was how I was able to know about gambling.

Is it like a talent passed down from father to son?
Even though it looks cool, to be honest, it's not good for your development. even if you buy the lottery or play with a small nominal amount. but your father should have taught you to strengthen your finances first before you spend more on gambling.
I mean your father should have set an example of a better way to make money than continuing to be consistent with his gambling which, as you said, is difficult to get.

[Gozie51]

But gambling with friends and family may not be a good approach I will rather gamble on an online casino rather than visiting a physical casinos with family or friend.

I think it is more of a juvenile thing to visit physical gambling shop with family members. You can see the young people who do that most times with family members but those who are quite old gamble on their own separately especially where the family isn't a gambling home. Where the parents are not gamblers the siblings would not freely go out to gamble together because their parents would ask there whereabout and in fact, in such homes you will find very few of the siblings who gamble because they won't be use to it if the father is not a gambler.

But certainly, more gamblers gamble with friends and they seek analysis from themselves.

[Crypt0Gore]

But gambling with friends and family may not be a good approach I will rather gamble on an online casino rather than visiting a physical casinos with family or friend.

We can't all like the same thing I guess, some people do prefer going to a nearby casino with their friends, I don't understand why but I guess it is something they just like, but for someone like me I will surely have a problem with this because I don't like distraction, even outside of gambling I hate to be distracted, if I want any company it won't be when I am gambling.

When it comes to watching movies then I most times enjoy watching with someone, maybe my spouse or friend, but when it comes to gambling, trading, or investment I don't like it, I would rather lock myself indoors and do my thing.

[Webetcoins]

My journey in this gambling also started same as like you with I was also mostly lack in money and things were never been helpful, so I joined a group of friends which was involved in sports betting and horse racing which helps me in short time, but then I have some huge loses which was the main reason for me addiction in this gambling, but good thing happen to I was strong enough to bring myself from this and have change of my way of life.
After years of preventing this all I again join when I was mature and also able to handle things on merit in last few years I have done good things specially in crypto which helps me for settling things for my life achievements, and I am really thankful crypto for this all better and positive things around my life.

I wonder why people get into gambling when they need money or are in a bad financial situation, one should at least know what they are getting into before they use their money, so when someone is getting into gambling, they should know that gambling is not a guaranteed way to generate money and they can even lose what they have right now which can make the things worse. So instead of gambling, a person in such a situation should look for a better way to earn some money, maybe get a job or something.

Gambling is for people who can easily afford it, they wouldn't be bothered much if they lose when they are gambling, but if all you have is $50 and you use that on gambling hoping that you might win something, you can lose that as well, and then you won't even have money to have food. What would you do next? So in my opinion, a person should think about all the consequences before getting into something like that.

[ethereumhunter]

You would only notice it on the time that you have seen yourself that you are already having nothing left on your pocket or money that you could be able to play on, or you would really be able to see that you cant really be able to provide something or buy up you do want because you do lack funds or money on which this is something a primary problem for most gamblers who do mess up their lives

as much as they could.

Gambling isnt bad if you are really that responsible towards it. Treat it as a form of fun and entertainment and not something that you would really be making it as a source of income
because once you do have this kind of impressions and mindset then you are really that going into the wrong way.

They will only regrets of what they did in gambling and not realizes that they don't have any money because of playing gambling. They must learn from what they did before so they don't doing the same mistake in the future because that will only gives them more problems that they can't solve it. When they have a problem in gambling, they needs serious to solve it because that related to their financial and themselves. When someone can manage his lives better between his real life and his gambling activity, he will not have a problem from playing gambling. They will not becomes compulsive gambling or playing gambling excessively.

Playing gambling is okay if they can have self-control so they will not gets a problems from gambling. They will have a chance to control themselves with limitations and will prevents the risks becomes bigger. They will not used gambling as a source of income because they knows that will not works for them and only gives them lose the money.

I can't deny that my beginnings as a player were very hard, I lost too much, at one point I had to control myself and I did everything possible for that, but I couldn't always, my results were very disastrous, I can't say that I was doing badly all the time. No, because sometimes I did win, and I had a good balance, but suddenly I applied the martingale strategy and then I lost everything, in fact I lost everything like 3 times, and I finally understood something, I did try to control my emotions because I couldn't have a Good experience, I tried to find strategies to control my emotions but it didn't work for me.

After all this I began to do the same trading strategy and gave free rein to my emotions, that was the only way to be able to play with control and without decapitalizing myself, and the strategy is to control the money I put in the casino, if I put it 20usd that was the only thing that was Profitable and no more.

What they are thinking is not complex at all, if someone is lacking money what they want is to find a way to make the money they are lacking, but everyone knows there is not really many ways in which you can earn money quickly, so in their desperation those people prefer to gamble as a way to solve their problems quickly.

However just as things could get their way, we know that things can also take a turn for the worse, and instead of solving their money problems, their problems will get many times worse.

Every individual can afford gambling therefore gambling is for everyone, the only problem is that some individuals refuse to gamble based on their level of wealth and this is why they're always losing and getting addicted as they want to gain back their lost money. If you have only $50 you can gamble but you wouldn't have to gamble all your money. When gambling you should only use your spare money therefore out of the money you can use 10% for gambling and you'll be okay.

When you exhaust your 10% and you haven't made any profit, you should stop gambling and wait until you have more spare money before you start again but if you make profit, you can remove your capital and use another 10% to add and continue gambling. Gambling is a game of luck but if you strategize correctly you won't be at lost when gambling as you'll always have your capital and some profit saved.

I was exposed to gambling at a very young cage considering that both my father and my grandfather were notorious gamblers via cockfighting.

lucky for me that I never fell into the same path as yours mate because my Uncle
and even my grandfa is also a cockfighting gambler where they kept talking about gambling
and their wins but never that i listen to theirs because my mom is telling me not to listen.

PICTURE OF OUR FIGHTER CHICKEN FARM:

wow I also remember the farm my family had back in the days , when i and my
father eating beaten chicken from derby  

Good for you, mate. maybe because we have grown up with the situation of those who are older than us, so we no longer follow in their footsteps, I also come from a family of gamblers, on my mother's side specifically. I saw the hardships and situations of their lives since I was young, how they became rich and poor because of gambling and because of greed. I'm really lucky because I didn't inherit the addiction to gambling, many people used to say that I would grow old and be like my uncles but I imprinted in my mind that even if I learn to gamble, I will never let myself fall like what happened to my uncles. I can consider them as the reason why I try to manage my gambling habits well because being a gambler runs in my race.

Wow that is a great story mate so indeed that we choose to create our own path than following
those what we do believe is wrong and must not be followed , like ours? there are lots of people that battling
in the same situation as ours back in the days but with perseverance and dedication >? i believe that they will
act accordingly and will never suffer from the same path as their oldies does in the past.

I wasn't really a gambler before; I was just jealous of my friend who often wins; he doesn't even gamble every day. It seems like in a month he only wins 2-3 times gambling,
which if I count the ones he won playing for 500-1000 dollars, the amount of his winning price ranges.

That's why the first time I tried, I immediately experienced winning; at that time, it was around 80 dollars, and then what I did was so happy that I immediately lost my investment.

That was your first mistake, to think about that money as if it was an investment when it was not, if you are going to gamble then you need to consider that money as lost already, and if you cannot bear the thought of losing that money, then that is money you should not bet, still it is understandable that you thought in that way as the luck of your friend made it seem as if obtaining profits this way was easy, something that experimented gamblers will tell you could not be further from the truth.

In years past before the casino and other online gambling bet platforms was discovered and brought to our knowledge, I and some family relatives used to play the card games but on the sequence some of us were becoming unserious in the game that it wasn't competitive so, we decided to have stakes with little amount of cents of $ which we could afford to loose just to buckle and cheers everyone up.
Time goes where we increases the stakes to make us more serious to the extend we began to bet about $1 which we can afford to loose at other expenditures but it seems unbearable loosing it on the caused of betting.
On a serious note, we saw this as a mere bet of competitions and not as gambling. As we advances, we saw it as a domestic gambling and not as the wild gambling that could cause one emotional outbreaks.

Time goes that it becomes unusual that we began to feel offenced and rebelled that we as relatives(1 family) are extorting from each other without empathy for one another and then, we unconciously grew wild developing in sentiments, greeds and taking it as an avenue to make profits.
Alongside, it was more of serious business than the just fun.

Then the casino and other online bet platforms was introduced in time. This was how I was exposed and my begining of gambling life!

I never had a good memory about how my gambling life started, while in school I often follow my friends to betting shops to stake their games . Then I never knew anything about gambling I always sit and wait for them to do their business and after that we will go . But one day I decided to try it and I asked them to reprint one of the copies for me which they did why laughing at my demands and fortunately for us the game played and that was how I developed interest . After then I started enjoying the fun and also trying to book games on my own without waiting for my friends to do so for me and that was how i started gambling.one thing that I learnt from my friends was that they have targets and budgets . They Dont place bets outside their targets and they don’t exceed a certain amount of money . And that was how I managed to start and I do control my emotions just like them and I have never regretted knowing them and following them to gamble . And that was the little experience that pushed me into playing bets.
