How my gambling life started.

I also started playing card games with my relatives using just a small stake as well. It's more on having fun and it serves as our bonding when we are together. But because any form of gambling here is already prohibited (aside from lottery since it is regulated), there's no way we can enjoy playing card games just like before.

Fortunately there's an online casinos where we can play at home conveniently. It became the new way for gamblers to keep playing. Though of course the risk of becoming addicted is there if you have no self-control.

I like that part and things can be done much better, I have always thought that when it comes to this type of game, playing it in family is the best thing in the world and it can be done so that they can join together, generally this It is a very good way. I would like my family to be like that, but because my family is a little strange, they are not united and everyone who is there can do things differently and can generate many ways to do things better.

I have played poker online, I have not played it like that live and direct with anyone, it is something that I like because it is a game that always catches my attention and many things can be done, you win and lose indeor, I have seen that those who know the most about poker are doing well and can make a difference. I am one of those who think that poker is about playing by thinking, and that bets must be made with great caution and evaluating each thing.

if you are addicted you will never feel bored and there are also addicts who don't have an emotion anymore but it's great that you have recovered. Maybe you are not totally addicted? Although some totally addicted gamblers can still realize their mistakes and tries to change their situation.

It was like there is a miracle that suddenly happened to them but I guess this is also because their loved ones and friends are praying for their recovery as they can tell that their friend or family member is struggling despite him continuously playing a gambling. If the gambling you play is free, then yeah, time is only the one that you will lose and not money.

In my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily realize that the actions they are doing are only making them miserable. Only a few people who are addicted can realize that the actions they take are only detrimental to them, in my opinion they can realize that if they experience an incident that really slaps them and makes them aware, and if someone is addicted to gambling they will not be able to easily come to their senses even if they are given advice from people around you, whether it's family or friends.

Also, in my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily recover if he himself does not have awareness, because encouragement from people around him will be in vain if the main perpetrator does not have good awareness. This is different from someone who has awareness, maybe they can recover without any encouragement from other people, because they have awareness and the desire to be able to fix everything.

I think what @webetcoin said was clear, he said that there are some people who are addicted to gambling but can still be aware of it, so this can prevent gamblers from going into a deeper abyss. It is true as you said that gambling addiction is true, most of them are not aware of their addictive attitude so he continues to gamble without any problems in himself even though the people around him such as friends and family are worried about his addictive gambling behavior and try to advise or stop it, but most of them are unsuccessful because the gambler himself has no intention of stopping.

It is true that someone who is addicted is difficult to cure because it has become a daily habit and if they don't do it once they can't because they are already addicted, but as you said if they are aware of their own mistakes and intend to change then it is very likely that they will can quickly recover from his addiction.

Everyone has something different about what they think and what makes them feel happy, like you here where you are quite happy when you see people or one of them maybe your friend who is gambling and who ends up winning, I'm sure you You can  also feel pleasure even though at that time you are not the winner, but it doesn't matter because usually  when you are next to gamblers who have won, usually they will at least give you part of their winnings which you can use for anything, whether it's to try gambling or use it for something else or celebrate it at the same time.

On the other hand, online  casinos have become more of a choice for most gamblers lately because we all have to admit that online casinos make it very easy for us or anyone who wants to gamble and one of the advantages is because you can gamble wherever and whenever you want, but The main point here is that we must continue to apply caution and vigilance wherever we play, especially if you are a beginner, where beginners are usually very susceptible to making lots of mistakes, especially because they often place their hopes on winning, and my advice is to  avoid things like that and Don't ever think of gambling as a place to make money, it's too dangerous..

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!

Nothing new in it because most of the gamblers have learnt it from their surroundings whether it be friends or family.
There is always an external influence through which we get influenced to gamble.
In most cases, it's the elders around us. I have seen my elders gamble but didn't get influenced until one day I tried a lottery.
It got me attracted to it to try my luck again and again and then that's how I got into gambling.

In my area this is not very common because from the story you describe it is about family and you are one of those involved in it. Families should be more harmonious and strengthen each other, not rebel against each other or blackmail each other and in my place it is very rare for one family to be seen in gambling. Gambling is becoming more modern and currently there are many platforms that provide online gambling such as casinos and there are many people who are easily involved in gambling without other people knowing.

Gambling will become wilder if people do not have control and generally gamblers will be considered addicted when they can no longer stop or in other words they spend money unreasonably on the gambling they play. This is the basis for some people who think that gambling is not a good activity to do openly or secretly.

That is the beginning for someone playing gambling, and many have experienced it because playing gambling is really fun and can make us play it more often. The attraction of gambling is what makes many people come back to gambling and play other gambling games, especially as they hope to get even bigger wins. Those who initially just want to have fun by gambling with their friends will start to be interested in visiting casinos around them and start gambling there. They are not aware that they have started to fall into gambling and if they do not have good self-control, they can get deeper into gambling until they eventually experience gambling addiction.

Well, with those who are addicted to gambling, it is possible that they will experience changes in attitudes and behavior, and in my opinion, people who are addicted to gambling tend to have a more stubborn nature, because as you said, they have no intention of stopping, and with friends or their family who give them advice that they cannot accept well, because they themselves are already addicted and have no intention at all of stopping their addiction. Even though there are gambling addicts who realize that what they are doing is detrimental, it is likely that they will not stop because they still have hope of winning that they must get.

That's right, if someone is addicted, especially if they do it every day and can't stop gambling for even a few days, it might be difficult for them to stop gambling. However, if they have the intention to stop their addiction, I think they have to do it gradually, where they have to reduce the frequency of gambling by limiting certain times for gambling. Like me, I only gamble once a week and this can be done with discipline and consistency.

On the moment that you are gradually growing up and you do already have the awareness or knowledge on how important money is, then on the time that you would first time encounter
about gambling is that you do really have that kind of impression that "woah,this is something cool", "i could make easy money with this" kind of impressions or words that you do have in mind,
and since you are that someone who doesnt really have that experience through it then you would really be having those common impressions and viewpoint towards it
on which this would really be making that curiosity would be kicking in.

Once you do have that curiosity that kicked in then this is where you would really be having those test out and engagement until you would be able to realize that it was never been easy.
Continual would really be just that depending on a certain person whether they would be pursuing it or would totally stop out on point.

Normally after your first trials births your next a d subsequently you may just have to continually be involved until if you bare not disciplined you become addicted and loose some money, for first trials it good to not let the excitement get to you or the frenzy of lost game get to you such that you may want to recover.

Trying to do such is just exposing yourself to much more gambling danger which could grow into something that you will never be proud of. As a beginner the kind of gamblers you find around has got a whole lot of influence on how you are going to perceive gambling, it's either you are going to see gambling as something you would like or something you would not want to keep up with and this is totally based on the people you find around you if they encourage or discourage your gambling activities well enough and how much they are achieving gambling.

The gamblers mostly start the game by seeing the advertisement in the mobile application or television if the gambling was legal in their country.The gambling site will advertise based on the big amount winner, this will trigger the gamblers mostly to join the gambling.At the initial stage most of them will loss the funds due to less aware of the gambling game.So the loss get by the gamblers will be in the mind of the gamblers until they recover the money from the gambling site.

The gamblers started to get addicted to the gambling site because of the big losses at the initial game.The gamblers should increase their skill in that game.The skill based gambling alone help the gamblers to get away from the gambling addiction.Because the money recover in gambling site is not easy one.

That's why gambling games will fade their fun if the money gets into your head. For example, in the OP, they are playing gambling games with relatives—card games, to be specific—but because they put stakes in the play, the game becomes extreme and challenging. It was fun at first, but eventually they become hungry with the money. That's why the fun has gone. This kind of story is not new; many family members or friends become wary of one another when it comes to gambling games. I have the experience of learning that card games used to be played in casinos. It was fun playing with other family members, but we never ever put money on the line because they know that money can ruin anything, so even now when we have a gathering, we still play gambling games without money. It's all fun; if you want that, then better just enjoy the game.

There is a common trajectory for many people who become involved in gambling. The allure of gambling may stem from observing others enjoying themselves and celebrating wins that create a sense of excitement and interest in participating. Starting with casual physical games among friends can indeed lead to further exploration, especially with the convenience and accessibility of online casinos. The ease of access to a wide variety of gambling games online can make it tempting to continue playing and exploring different options.

People may find themselves drawn deeper into gambling, eventually leading to addiction, if they have no good self-control nor awareness of the risks involved. Gamblers need to recognize the signs of problematic gambling behavior. Developing healthy habits around gambling, such as setting limits, taking breaks, and seeking support when needed, can help mitigate the risk of developing a gambling addiction.

In general we need to be wary of mixing money and our family as this most of the time leads to great trouble down the line, and this is just one more example of it, because when it comes to money people are used to hustle in order to try to get as much of it as they can, the problem is that this attitude to get money at all costs is completely inappropriate when it comes to dealing with your family, so this can easily create problems among your family members for years to come.

Always fun to watch back and see how rough it was and how you're starting to develop to good position. I was persuaded to gamble because I'm this type of person that's always online, I've come acrossed gambling news, more especially on lotto winnings, these individuals keeping track records on their big winnings exerted strong hope for me to gamble. I've gamble, losses and made profits in the system. We should be happy any day we hits profits and frown our faces at losing ends, but that doesn't discouraged me because I don't gamble daily, instead I settled for weekend games which brings significant odds.

I also started that way, old days in our house. I'm still very young that time, but I have seen my parents play with nephews and nieces and it was just all for fun. And then they taught me how to play that card games and then for years we did that until they all left when they grown up and fight a job. Was in high school then and so with that taste of rush early, play with my classmates too and then just like the OP slowly move to play in land base casinos when I graduated and find a decent jobs and with your officemates in the same path as you, going to casinos after office hours or even go for a quick gamble during break. OF course, it's all for fun, but if I have to look back, there were money that i could have used to other things.

In life, their is always a starting point to everything including gambling, so i can tell you to the fact that so many of us gamblers have our own side of our stories how our gambling life style all started, to me gambling is not a bad thing if you can gamble only what you can afford to lose, because by doing so it wouldn't get to your head, once gambling start getting into your head and you start seeing it as a means of income, that is path to addiction.

You've said it all mate. gambling can be okay as long as it's done responsibly. The problem comes when people start chasing losses or viewing it as a way to make money and earn a living. Then, it can quickly get out of control and become an addiction. I think the way we talk about gambling makes it more likely that people will develop a problem, For example, we often glamorize big wins in the media, but we rarely talk about the negative consequences of problem gambling and this is what mostly gets us into problems.

[Blowon]

At first I only played physical gambling, card games, over time I played physical slots, and then online casinos started to become popular and that's where I started to feel comfortable, playing comfortably in online casinos.
this is how my gambling started

That's life's entirety. Everything has a starting point that is unique. A lot of people claim that their entire life is centered around gambling, citing instances where individuals begin gambling as early childhood and have continued to do so ever since, developing physical addictions. Isn't that the method by which they wager and win?

Some people will place a bet, and some have never won. Even one day, they still continue west of their money without realizing that the money they spend every day to stake are constantly lose is not better to use in another business. However, the biggest issue of some people's is that they don't know much about gambling and don't want to ask. That's why such types of people are always fall in vistim.

[Mrbluntzy]

I love your story, it's nice story. I have participated in some street games, some sports activity and some other recreational activities which through them I just got into gambling. There were so many games which I and my brothers and sisters usually play during our young age and we never took it as gambling, we never staked money to play those games but in today's developed world, most of those games have becoming betting games. My gambling journey started because of love I just had for games and activities that are puzzling and fun.
