Right or Wrong Way :How did you start your gambling journey and how is it going?

[coin-investor]

We all started to gamble; we didn’t just learn about it or go to the casino to gamble. We have all had our first time.
I’d like to ask, have you started to gamble in the right way or the wrong way?

Right way: You just want to have fun, and you are fully aware of the risks and consequences if you cannot control how you gamble.

Wrong way: You started to gamble because you are attracted to significant wins, and you think you can come out with a good method

Honestly, I started on the wrong foot, but eventually learned to correct my ways, and so far I’m doing well and observing the best practice to be a responsible gambler.

How about you? How did you start, and how’s it going so far?

Starting a gambler kind of life is something different entirely from the normal life we live, because we must have started somewhere small as being a noob before we get to know and be where we are today, I remember those days I will have to safe up to gambling from my little incentives and allowances, while some from gift items and free donations I have received from other people, then use it to gamble in the casino and then spend all to lose and win not a single game.

How about you? How did you start, and how’s it going so far?

I believe that majority of gamblers started gambling the wrong way which is to make profit. I was triggered by my friend's win way back which made me feel that I can also win big if I start gambling. That was how I started gambling seriously but after a while and learning more about gambling, I realized that I cannot win the casino rather, I am going to lose more to the casino if I continue gambling on for profit.

However, I started gambling from high school with my friends and siblings but we weren't taking it too serious because we were doing it for fun then. This is the same advice that I give to gamblers that feel they can win a fortune through gambling, that they'll end up losing more than they win and become addicted if they don't stop chasing their losses.

I have always viewed gambling as a money-making type of thing, and if you don't have money, you cannot really have results that would be really mind-blowing in terms of wins.

When I started gambling, I had this view, and it made me feel like I was always losing because of the house's advantage. I learned to gamble with little stakes and continued from there with card games.

I started gambling the right way and this was because I was able to learn from other people's experience. My journey so far has been quite good and this is because I didn't end up dealing with an addiction. The beginning phase of gambling is very important, once you start wrongly it might be a problem. Some people are currently trapped because of how they started out. Don't start with the intention of making money

[Pandu Geddon]

How about you? How did you start, and how’s it going so far?

I started gambling the right way. But the more often I gamble, the more my gambling direction shifts towards the profits I must generate from gambling. Every gambler goes through a different process. Some start off gambling in a controlled manner and just for fun. However, there are also gamblers whose focus shifts as they continue to gamble. Everyone can change; some start off wrong, then correct themselves and become better.

what does “gambling journey” mean? does playing card or dice games with friends for worthless stones when you were young also count as “gambling”?

if it starts from the moment we deposit real money in casinos, then i think almost everyone's journey is the same. age is important because gambling has evolved significantly in the past few years. if you came of age in the 2000s, your gambling journey might have started at a local casino or even in las vegas. in recent years, i don't think anyone goes to local casinos to gamble anymore. everyone gambles online.

I started to gamble in the wrong way until I noticed that I was a gambling addict and the need for me to stop because I lost too much money on gambling.

Right now I have changed because I really need to change because I want to avoid financial problems. I gamble the right way now, unlike when I started gambling.

I stake a bet once while as an undergraduate student and at that time i gor scammed by those sure predictions thieves that give out bet code and collect money from us, this incident made me to stay off gambling for long time, until i came into this forum and i started engaging in gambling related discussions and from there everything picked.

So i can say that i started gambling right from when i got some signature payment made i to my casino account like stake is paying it participants into their stake account and i started gambling from that place.

I started gambling because I was intrigued when I saw a friend doing it and winning. This is the problem, because it introduced me to gambling and made it difficult for me to stay away from it periodically. This led to my addiction and significant losses. I realized it was my own fault for being so brutal. But from this, I also learned a lesson that made me aware of limits.
Initially, I was just playing around, trying to satisfy my curiosity, but this curiosity led me deeper into gambling. Yes, I think I started gambling on the wrong foot, or was it? I don't know, but the important thing is that I'm no longer severely addicted to gambling.

I started gambling when I’m still collecting Bitcoin on different faucet. Freebitco.in is the first gambling site that I try since it’s the faucet that use and at the same time offer dice game that let you bet your faucet earnings for a chance to grow.

Later on I explore different dice site such as Primedice, Fortunejack and Bitsler. I keep busting my daily faucet earnings to these casino while I’m very patient on collecting faucet in hourly basis.

I consider it just for fun since back then Bitcoin rewards on faucet in fiat value is just a penny. But right now looking back on my losses makes me regret since I’m already a millionaire if I just hold but who knows that Bitcoin will hit 100K now that time.

I started gambling for fun, so based on how you define the right and the wrong way, I guess I'm on the right track until now. I had friends who gamble for profit, and since I saw firsthand that focusing only on winning at all costs can be a total disaster for everyone around you, I decided that's not for me. I still believe that gambling for fun without chasing the dream is far better, and without such consequences. I won't change my perspective, and I will always play for fun and not to become a millionaire.

[mcdouglasx]

I remember starting to bet when I visited the racetrack for the first time, I bet for fun not for money, so I imagine I started on the right foot, although sometimes I have strayed a little and ended up losing more than I should have, but it has only been a few times and I have corrected it over time, so I have never had major problems with it, or bets that put me in debt, the important thing is to know how to recognize when we are doing something wrong and correct it immediately so as not to adopt an unhealthy gambling pattern.

If you are asking about gambling in general, then I would say that I started in the good way, because it was way back when we used to be very young, and we friends used to play small gambling games around the city, in our locality. There were no modern games such as what we play in casinos, but they used to be local games created by people themselves using cardboards and images, etc.

For example, there used to be a game where the one running the game would have some pictures of celebrities on a cardboard, and then he would have the same pictures on a dice. You bet on the celebrity, each would have a specific odd or return, he then rolls the dice, only one picture becomes the winner as the top of the dice comes up, so only those who had bets on that picture win and others lose.

Those used to be the kind of games we used to play when we were young, but things have changed now, we barely do anything physically these days.

[Agbamoni]

There is no right way or wrong way to start gambling as an individual. I would say all way is the same, and honestly the end will justify the means. Most people casually, started gambling while others are thrilled the winnings around them, from colleagues, friends or family but what should matter the most is how you handle it over time not how you started. For me, I started gambling by just trying to experience what it feels like to bet on games, and now I've learned more to it. Its about balance, control and management.

[Accardo]

Some of my siblings were gambling and introduced me to online gaming, then it wasn't much of a thing to think about, until a student in campus won a jackpot, the story went viral regarding the boy's reaction and how he was shouting after receiving the money. Since then, a lot of us began to try our luck, yet to no avail. After a while the zeal began to lie low in our minds, then, I found a book about frugal gambling in a library, where responsible gambling was a major topic. Over the period till today, I've always stayed responsible, and and aswell talk to close friends about wagering little and spending small time in the casino.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

There's more to talk about how I started with gambling, because I could remember when I use to learn about how to gamble from friends and some of my siblings, but due to the challenge of money, I only join other children in the neighborhood to play games which does not require money, then later I begin to see how more independent am becoming and how I have stand to achieve some knowledge on gambling and turned a gambler all of a sudden, am surprised how I got used to everything before I know.

Wrong way: You started to gamble because you are attracted to significant wins, and you think you can come out with a good method

This is probably the wrong way to start gambling, as I was initially attracted by the prospect of winning big I tried it out first, hoping to get lucky, and ended up becoming addicted to this day.

Over the years, I've learned a lot about gambling, which requires responsibility and strict discipline without that, the addiction could become severe.

Now, I'm more in control, able to set limits, and keep my bankroll in check so it doesn't get out of hand in other words, responsible gambling is crucial.

Actually, every gambler has their own past experiences when starting their gambling journey, but I believe there are two possible outcomes: the first is conscious, and the second is unconscious. When someone was a teenager, they usually gambled with friends, usually on a truth-or-dare game, and the prize was usually money, an object, or something else considered a prize. So, I think that is one example of gambling that everyone has probably experienced, whether it was unconsciously or consciously. Personally, I have also experienced the things I mentioned, and perhaps I have forgotten about various other things that I have done, but what is important is how we reflect on the past for the good of the present or the future, so that we remain in a good condition and situation when gambling. Come to think of it, I also just remembered that I once made a lottery purchase when I was a teenager, and I think that was also one of my starting journey for gambling.

[Japinat]

Same here, I started on the wrong foot. Back when I was still new I made a lot of mistakes, and until now I still remember them. But it’s part of the process or journey as a gambler. I’m still thankful I went through those because it’s what shaped me to be a more responsible gambler today.

The aim of winning is normal, but what’s important is staying responsible, and that’s where a lot of gamblers, especially the new ones, struggle. It’s tough if you keep repeating the same mistakes over and over, because that could lead to bankruptcy which none of us want. That’s why as early as possible we have to learn from our mistakes.
