How my gambling life started.

[Outhue]

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.

Many people will surely think more about how much they will earn if they win a gamble, this is what many people do instead of thinking more about how much they will lose.

It doesn't take long for anyone to become addicted to gambling, they will always think that luck is on their side until they find out that its not, we all have our side stories too but mine was never like this.

When I was still in school many students do gamble when we are on break, I have been called to be a treasurer for two sides but I have never for once try to bet money, because of what my father told me about gambling, it starts very small until you want more and more then you won't care about yourself anymore.

[Swordsoffreedom]

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.

You are right, Gambling should never be considered as a means of earning money. In gambling you can lose money and win a lot of money. I have seen many people who have lost all their money by gambling. Many rich people have lost everything. Again I have seen many people who have made money by gambling and won huge amounts of money.

I would say first to get control over yourself and then gamble. It is impossible to make money from gambling if you do not have control over yourself. And indeed one cannot be greedy. If you are greedy your chances of losing money will increase.
We must be careful. And gambling cannot be considered only as a means of earning money.

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.

Many people will surely think more about how much they will earn if they win a gamble, this is what many people do instead of thinking more about how much they will lose.

It doesn't take long for anyone to become addicted to gambling, they will always think that luck is on their side until they find out that its not, we all have our side stories too but mine was never like this.

When I was still in school many students do gamble when we are on break, I have been called to be a treasurer for two sides but I have never for once try to bet money, because of what my father told me about gambling, it starts very small until you want more and more then you won't care about yourself anymore.

But they should thinks about how much they lose in the previous gambling activity so they can calculate their situations and what the status of their gambling position. If they lose, it's better they start to reduce their gambling activity and using limitations to prevent the next losses because no one will knows when they can win or lose. Yes, no need to takes long to becomes addicted to gambling because gambling is tempting people to comes back to playing gambling and once they return to the casino and playing gambling, that will be the sign for them to start addicted to gambling.

We must control ourselves in gambling, especially if we already feel the lose before. We must avoids more losses using limitations and stick to our rules so we can avoids addiction. We must responsible in gambling and not trying to playing gambling too often.

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.

[khiholangkang]

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

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.

The story is quite interesting and you have capital in learning gambling beforehand with the closest person before plunging into the world of online gambling and the initial motivation is quite good because it considers gambling as a place to get pleasure whether it is with friends or with relatives and others.
But it seems that I am different because I started gambling seeing my friends get benefits, at first I was also quite skeptical about gambling and seemed more indifferent, there were many who offered me to play either live betting or online gambling, but one day my friend got a very large amount of money and changed his life, such as buying things he wanted that were very expensive from his gambling profits, and that's where I started looking at gambling at that time, thinking that I would get the same luck, stupid thinking. hahahah.

[irhact]

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 started gambling as I wanted to have some entertainment but as I began to grow older, sometimes I'll want more than just enjoying myself as I also have some life challenges that I want to use money to solve therefore I started to want more than just gambling for entertainment but still I don't take it to the extreme that I want to always win when gambling but I know that I always want to know every trick in the game so I can increase my chances of winning when gambling.

Card games are luck base games as you need luck always or you won't win unless you know some tricks. I don't like playing cards games as I need to know that my chances of winning are in my hands that's why I love to play sport betting as with how you know the teams playing, you can know which of the teams are likely to win and then you make your bets based on the information that you have.

Stupid thoughts like that are what provides our motivation to consistently continue accessing gambling. As long as you are still under good control, your gambling activities may not have a negative impact. But don't let yourself get frustrated when you don't reach the target that you might want to achieve with your luck.
Many factors make gamblers end up breaking the gambling limits they set themselves. especially when motivated or even very ambitious in pursuit of victory.

It is very good for you that when you started to gamble not for fun anymore you were not impacted as it is in this exact moment where signs of addiction start to show.As long as you can be free of addiction you can also continue gambling both in slots or luck based games and also in sport betting.I think that it is only an illusion that you have that you think with sport betting and knowing some teams increase your chances,the referee can impact the game and to make you lose.

[Gallar]

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!

Your journey in the world of gambling is quite different from what I experienced. One of the big differences is that I personally very rarely gamble with my family or close relatives (in offline gambling). For some reason, I personally really avoid this. However, what I personally feel is that I just want to be more free when gambling and not have any pressure. Because of course when gamble with family or relatives will definitely feel different tensions or pressures. Like feeling sorry if one of my family loses and the one who wins is me. So basically I feel very sorry when I have to take money from my family or relatives. In essence, the gambling experience you have with your family seems to be the opposite of what I experienced. Because you quarreled with your family while gambling. And I think this is a bad thing to do in gambling. Because after all, gambling must be done fairly and must be able to generate feelings of joy, not anger and hatred.

Additionally, my first experience in the world of gambling was from my work friends and not from my family. So I gamble more often with my friends, compared to my family. And regarding online-based gambling platforms, I think this is more helpful for gamblers who like to gamble, but don't have gambling friends or are far from gambling places (offline). Because most of the gambling games on online platforms are mostly individual, such as playing slots. So with this gambling platform, gamblers can gamble more freely and can do it without other people when gambling.

Gambling can be an exciting and exciting activity. But sometimes you don't even notice how it grows from a cloudless entertainment into a dangerous addiction.

It's like falling into a trap where the more you try to get out, the deeper you sink.

It is important to be able to control your actions and not let the excitement take over. Remember that entertainment should bring joy, not become a source of problems.

This means that it is always about control and control along with putting limits that of course these things can keep us safe in the long run and can also minimize the possibility of losing too significantly. On the other hand the impact of gambling always depends on your intentions and goals of gambling, simply put if for example you come to earn then yes I think we can already ensure that the bad impact will soon come to you, because when someone has such a goal then I think it is certain that he will take actions that are actually beyond his abilities such as for example putting large amounts in order to get a big win where the fact of losing will continue to make you disappointed at the end of the session. This means that they will definitely feel frustrated when what they want is not achieved, and I can already confirm that people who come with the intention and purpose of earning in my opinion are less likely for them to apply limits and controls to their gambling activities, usually they tend to always overdo it because they are too confident in their thoughts where they think getting a win is easy when in fact the results at the end of the session always say otherwise, so the point is that you will be able or easy to take all the recommended actions for the sake of preventing things that are not wanted when you come without putting the intention and purpose of earning.

It can really be tricky and complicated to navigate and truly understand gambling. Many people may consider it to be a form of entertainment, but it's also very important to truly understand the potential risks attached to gambling and also  to ensure that it doesn't become a problem to you, because some people usually starts gambling with the  intentions of just having fun and enjoying the thrill but along the line they allow gambling become a problem for them. One should always remember to set gambling limits for themselves and also sticking to them,  as this will help the gambler maintain control. The problem isn't really setting the limits, it's easier to set limits for some gamblers but difficult to keep especially when emotion starts flying around. The most important thing is to never view gambling as a means to make money but rather as a way to have fun and recreation.

Ever since I was a child, it has been planted in my mind that gambling is bad, because most of what I've seen before is the only bad things it causes when gambling excessively. until I got older, and stumbled upon crypto I was just curious to try it out.

After this thing that made me curious, this habit continued with me, but I just do it for fun and entertainment, I don't do it just to make money, but just for entertainment.

It's natural that when we were little we saw that gambling was bad because only some people look bad like that, meaning people who are addicted to gambling are so bad to look at, but that doesn't mean gambling is bad, it all depends on how the gambler behaves, that's why when someone wants to gamble, look. The way other people gamble is enough to be a lesson that gambling must be responsible and should not be excessive because anything excessive will not be good in the end and that is a fact.

We all know that anything excessive can also make a gambler become addicted to gambling, especially since addiction is difficult to cure, every gambler should like you think of it only as entertainment no matter how much they lose and lose in gambling. The point is to use the budget that is ready to be lost for gambling. It's not gambling recklessly without unlimited budget restrictions which ultimately leads to losing more money, I personally never consider gambling as a serious game because the mindset still considers it just entertainment so as not to focus too much on chasing something that is impossible to get.

[hyudien]

Every bet you win gives you such an adrenaline rush that you start playing more and more until you realize that you can't stop. It's like falling into a trap where the more you try to get out, the deeper you sink.

It is important to be able to control your actions and not let the excitement take over. Remember that entertainment should bring joy, not become a source of problems.

That's true, with a pleasant start, but over time it becomes a disaster when we lose self-control, especially since gambling can affect our thinking which will lead us to engage in excessive gambling that we shouldn't do. Moreover, humans certainly have emotional, greedy and impatient natures. with what you said, it is one of the traits that everyone definitely has, namely greed. It is true that when we win at gambling it can make us unable to stop, especially if we cannot control our greedy nature. Also because gambling is something related to money, it's not surprising that many gamblers want more than they already get.
but this is because of one's own actions, not because of other people's actions. We ourselves lead ourselves into a trap that is difficult to get out of and is even likely to fail if we do try to get out. I agree with your opinion, it is important that we be able to control ourselves when gambling, because sometimes the actions we take are not considered first, which ends in big losses or problems.

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.

You should not gamble with family/friends. That is a recipe for disaster.

So your own family accidentally got you hooked over family game night? That is a first. Not to sound condescending but that does sound like an excuse. We all know about the problems that gambling can bring and I think even children know it by now.

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.

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?
