How my gambling life started.

[Sim_card]

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!

so in essence, you got into bad gambling habit before you started mobile gambling?

Well, everyone has his story and it's just sad the way you started could easily harden your heart to gamble in an irresponsible way. I guess you weren't happy with yourself seeing that you got intoxicated negatively to the extent of extorting money from relatives in the course of gambling which is a bad way to go about gambling. Gambling is suppose to be fun and some with your personal money you can comfortably loose if the game goes sore.

The problem is that gambling is never fun when you are losing money and who says otherwise is a plain liar.I never feel any joy when I am hitting consecutive lost sessions and I believe the same to be for the majority of normal persons.This is the exact reason why most people gamble in such a bad way that they soon after become addicted.The people who get addicted are usually most of the persons who fall in love with slot machines and very few of the majority who get addicted are addicted because of sport games.Sometimes people forget any moral value because of gambling and they fell to the lows of society,I think once addicted you don't care about anything else except gambling and that is exactly what we want to avoid.

Anyone can be addicted on any game that he loves playing a lot, not only slot machine. We have a lot of gamblers not there that don't like slot games, but they are still addicted. The reason is because they think that gambling is to make profit or a get rich quick scheme. This will make them use big amount of money to gamble without thinking twice. They will forget that the chances of losing is higher than making profit.  Bringing addiction problem to themselves, because they will always be chasing their losses till they become frustrated, and they will live to regret their actions. This is why one should be a gambler that gambles only for fun.

A lot of us got wisdom after several mistakes, so I think that is what it should be. There is rarely any gambler that started gambling with the perfect knowledge and wisdom needed to survive the challenges of gambling. It is usually after series of mistakes like chasing losses, increase in gambling rate and amount after a huge win which usually result to giving back the winning, gambling addiction and sometimes gambling with borrowed funds. The mistakes are just too numerous and it is usually after some of them many people begin to have sense and start taking it slowly as it should be. Part of my earlier challenge was over-confidence. This made me stake large amounts only to find out after huge losses. Truly, each of us who have been active gambler will always have a story to tell.

if you are the kind of person who gambles a lot, it will get to the point where winning or losing won't matter to you because you are already used to whatever comes with it. even when you are not happy because you lose money, some people are always angry You will see it written all over their faces but even if you are angry, there is nothing you can do about the money you have already lost. The interesting thing is that gambling keeps you company and all we do is complain and look for who or what to blame when we lose. I will keep asking, What is the person who is always winning? How do you explain that? Because I feel that it is always people who are losing that they are always calling addicts.

After completing my college education, I found myself entangled in the world of gambling, an arena I had previously steered clear of. It was a friend from my college days who first introduced me to this perilous pursuit. Initially, I harbored a disdain for gambling, often ridiculing my friend whenever he indulged in it, perceiving it as a fool's errand squandering hard-earned money. However, fate took an unexpected turn one day when my cousin entrusted me with a sum of cash to safeguard temporarily. Temptation got the better of me, and I succumbed to the allure of the money, pilfering it for my own needs.

My cousin, unaware of my transgression, was set to depart in a week's time, leaving me in a quandary as I scrambled to make amends for my misdeed. It was during this moment of desperation that my gambling-savvy friend, with his seemingly unassuming demeanor, sensed my distress and inquired about the source of my anguish. Reluctantly, I confided in him, pouring out the details of my predicament. To my surprise, he suggested that gambling might offer a solution to my woes, proposing that I stake a sum of money on certain games to recoup the pilfered funds and redeem myself in the eyes of my cousin.Desperate for a lifeline, I acquiesced, entrusting him with the funds at my disposal. Against all odds, luck smiled upon us that day, and our bets proved fortuitous, resulting in a windfall that allowed me to repay my cousin in full. Little did I realize, that fateful gamble would ensnare me in its grip, marking the inception of my descent into the vortex of gambling addiction.

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 .

So it started on your family first  but how do you know about online gambling sites and how do you know this forum? it happen long time a go or just recently.

Gambling did not originate from my family dude but  my gambling life originated from that one family gaming where stakes are involved. Lol.

I got to know about the online gambling based on gambling advancement here on my country because the , it was mostly about skill based gambling such as the chess, cards, checkers, snookers and the rest of it.

First I learnt about it online and I was  interested about it but had no ideal on how it is played and could not give it a try on my own because I would not love to have my money wasted on the activity I did not enjoy or gained profit. Thereafter I met one of the old folks back in the days whose present reminded me how we do the game stuff as well and it happens he was alright in the advance World of gambling in the online and I was looking so awkward to the system to it. Haha.

Anyways, in all simplicity thatbof my friend took me all through in learning about the online gambling and then, I become a generous one after boarding in this forum that a friend also introduced me to.

I can vividly tell you that I was surrounded with gamblers in those days.

Very similar story but casinos and other platforms for betting was quite available but not actually too common. During this period, I remember us gambling with cashew nuts and rubber handband where the winner will go with the all. We do play it portion by portion until we feel like not playing again or when we are out of what to stake. The reason behind this is because we have no monetary items to gamble with at that stage. The feeling of gambling with those things is not in anyway different from playing in online casinos. Greediness is one thing that can not be separated from gambling because even in those days, see the urge to win and chasing after our loses which sometimes lead to fight and argument.

The advent of technology and the introduction of online casinos change the whole narrative. My first experience with online gambling was during my days in higher school one fateful afternoon like that. Until today I'm still regretting that day and wish it never happened but yes, we experienced, we gamble and life continues.

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.

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

Just to share a story of mine: back when I was a kid, my father used to bring us to our farm in the province where the latter is a dedicated place in raising fighter chickens. As a young kid, I was very clueless on why we had a farm in the first place. At first, I thought that this farm was created for livestock since there were lots of chickens and fruits. But what surprised me was that there was a ring in the middle of the farm that was like a mini-boxing ring.

After a few years, my father would bring us to these arenas where he would use our chickens and let them fight in this televised arena show in our country. Before the match, people would bet on which side or chicken would win and the minimum bet was like $8-$10 at that time. Long story short, this was the time that I got exposed to gambling and I realized this after a few years of discovering that our farm was built solely for breeding fighter chickens.

No one is born knowing it all, however you can minimize and tone down your mistakes, if before you begin to gamble you take a look at what gambling is really about.

This way a new gambler will know what to expect and even what they may feel under some specific circumstances, allowing them to realize when they are in a dangerous situation and escape early in the case they were unable to avoid it, so all in all you can really reduce your chances of making big mistakes by simply taking a cautious attitude towards gambling.

So we all should be aware. If we treat gambling like a job, it won't take long for us to be broke.

It is indeed not recommended to make gambling a full-time job, because it is not the right action and perception. By considering gambling as a full-time job it will only drain your finances instead of making you money. but with those who experience big losses due to gambling, it is possible that they think gambling is something that can make money for sure, so they do it excessively by spending a lot of money for results that make them lose a lot of money, not with good results such as making money.

What you say is correct, there is no definite way to win at gambling, even though there are some people who believe in the existence of patterns or strategies which are said to make it easier to win, but I am sure it will not be a complete guarantee. Also, even if they win at gambling, it will not be equivalent to the losses they have received, that is a big possibility. The wins they get will also be based on luck, not because of the pattern or strategy used. If you are addicted to gambling then what will happen is that you prioritize gambling and also have an income, perhaps what will happen is that the money you get will be used to gamble more than you need. I agree with you, mental health will be affected if we gamble excessively, especially if we spend a lot of money on gambling, which will only get us into trouble.

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.

if someone thinks that gambling is their job or business, then they are a careless person, because after all gambling cannot be used as a job or business that can make money. gambling has the possibility, that if someone wants to dive into it and earn, then they need to follow a game that is based on strategy, and only a handful of gamblers can be successful from it. so instead of risking your money on gambling, instead look for something more certain where you can earn money.

[Maus0728]

It's not the gambling that was the problem, it was the money that was the problem. Maybe it's your family too that's got a problem because you let greed and envy break your bonds with each other when it shouldn't be the case, that's not how you do things in a family. The best way to move forward with you guys is if you start talking about this and dealing with it, not dealing with it and solving the problem is going to be an open wound that you guys would have a hard time closing the longer you don't talk about your issues.

This is why one should be a gambler that gambles only for fun.

It's usually common amongst a few gamblers especially those who just wants to make money gambling they most times become greedy and started doubling up their stake not minding what the outcome could be and at the end of the day they get to loose so much because of their greed and in the bid to wanting to recover they Chase losses and sometimes become addicted to the gambling games.

Responsible gambling and gambling to get rich is never the best way of gambling rather gambling for fun and entertainment has always be the best way to gamble because it's usually a better way of gambling and it does help one to not get affected if its not in their favor always.

[Majestic-milf]

 We all had our funny ways of getting into gambling and to be honest yours sounded close to how I got into gambling..it always has to start with something harmless till the gambler in you will need something more exhilarating and entertaining, so you'd raise the stakes. One crazy thing about this kind of gambling (cards and the rest), you'd discover that you'd want to employ every known trick in the book especially if you are losing and are down to your last cent.

I guess this is just lack of perspective, but I respectfully disagree. While it's true that gambling can be risky and unreliable as a source of income for most people, It's not right to generalize that all individuals who engage in gambling are careless. There are professional gamblers who approach it as a strategic pursuit, having probability on their edge, statistics, and other analytical tools to increase their chances of winning. It's  just that gambling do require skill not only luck. It can even be pursued as a legitimate profession by a select few who have honed their expertise over time.

  Likewise, gambling as been a thing for the male counterpart for a while now even before the widespread of sport gambling. Growing up, i used to gamble along side  with my friends, we started by playing card games (whot card) we used to call it school then while staking is the fees, from cards we progressed to video game gambling where we gamble among ourselves the winner takes it all. We were young and just having fun though we weren’t gambling with much money it was purely for entertainment. As time goes on I became familiar with these other platform for gambling, I only gamble on sport betting, I don’t have the clue about how the other games are played that is why I don’t show interest. I only play when I have to and I play with what I can afford to lose. I have won some and lost some  that’s how the game goes I  don’t expect much that’s why when I get disappointed I don’t fling or make a fuss about it.
  Also not all my friends that started with me still gambles, some see it as just a waste of resource and energy. And they are doing quite well. Some people tend that they  can’t do without gambling, so they must satisfy their urge of placing a bet at lease once a day. These set of people always have this mentality that the next game is going to boom, and when itv doesn’t they are already on the next one. If your bankroll is okay for you to carry out your gambling lifestyle then you can go ahead but still stake wise. But if you poor and still struggling financially then gambling is not for you, just go look for a job and be productive with your time.

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.

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.

wow I also remember the farm my family had back in the days , when i and my
