Hey everyone!
I'm pretty new to gambling and just do it for fun. I've set a monthly budget so I don't go overboard, but I’m looking for some advice from you pros out there. What tips do you have for someone starting out? What should I keep in mind to make sure I'm just having a good time and not getting into trouble? Would love to hear your experiences and any tricks you’ve picked up along the way.
Thanks!
Hey! Honestly, if you’re new to gambling, my best advice is to just avoid it altogether. It can be more addictive and risky than it seems, and there are better ways to spend your time and money. Stay safe and keep your budget intact!
Good day, if you think gambling is a direction you should go:
1) make sure you thoroughly understand the rules of the game you are playing ... a surprising amount of money can be lost or won with those fringe rules that seldom come into play
2) have a basic understanding of statistics - understand a bell shaped curve, mean, median, variance, standard deviation, etc. ... this is important to understanding house edge and volatility.
3) understand how the casino mixes the rules and the statistics together to have an edge ... seriously, can you answer where the edge comes from in blackjack? it is completely different than how it comes in roulette.
For Online Casinos:
4) Beware the bonus offer ... yes, they can be useful - but many have remarkably strict conditions to meet ... make sure you understand what is required to successfully get money / winnings from a bonus.
For Training or Serious Play:
5) A great way to stretch your money, get practice, and learn your weaknesses is to enter tournaments. Some are free while others cost a few dollars. But for those few dollars you probably get a few hundred chips, a lot of play time, and (as you get better) a chance to win prizes (bonuses, cash, etc).

Hey, I see you've gotten some advice from the players. I would also say that the biggest win is not to play in the casinos, because sometimes it's more of a waste of money than a good win.
But if you want to give it a try and you know you have a budget that you don't mind spending, then my best advice is to always find out as much information as possible about the casino you want to play at to avoid any unpleasantness ahead of time. Always read carefully if you are taking any bonuses or if something is not clear to you. There are terms and conditions for this. If you don't understand something, contact chat or support and ask. It's not a bad idea to take screenshots of important conversations if you have problems. We have a lot of great guides where you can find out what you need to know, and to get you started, I might share the following. Since you are new to this world, things like this - Introduction to online casinos - will definitely come in handy. It might also be nice to know what to watch out for and thus- How to choose an online casino.
Of course, if you want to ask anything, go ahead, I think other players besides me might be able to help.
I'll be here if you need me. 🙂
I can see that this thread is very popular among players and I'm glad to see some players' opinions. Of course gambling should be just occasional fun but I guess we know how it can end. That's why anyone with a strong will, I would say, should be able to play.
If someone thinks they're going to win all loses all back, I'd see a warning finger. If someone thinks they can make a profit from it, I'd see it the same way.
And so I'm happy to see players who are also conscious. 🙂
Eu aconselho você a jogar apenas promoções onde suas apostas são +EV. Por exemplo, o RTP é de 95%, você precisa apostar 100 euros para obter giros grátis no valor de 10 euros. O jogo pode realmente ser lucrativo. Eu faço isso há 13 anos, mas jogo principalmente pôquer. Você pode contar cartas no BlackJack, não é difícil, não com o método de contagem mais simples. Os profissionais não fazem isso online porque o lucro por hora é muito menor em comparação com jogos ao vivo. Mas você pode jogar +EV online. As apostas esportivas também não são difíceis de ganhar. Com os slots, além das promoções, você também pode jogar apenas por bônus. Selecionando já um slot e tamanho de aposta. A aposta é fixa porque então eles não pagarão, mesmo que não esteja escrito nas regras. E também apenas um slot é jogado, porque novamente, então eles podem "julgar" que você está violando e não pagar os ganhos.
Como essas coisas podem ser combinadas. Por exemplo, você joga com um bônus em um slot com um jackpot progressivo acumulado, que é um dos menores. No sentido de um pequeno jackpot, como um lucro, relativo à sua aposta. Ou um torneio + jackpot, etc...
Mas apenas com um jogo +EV. Já que você não consegue evitar tropeçar em algo que realmente gostou, o importante é se sentir e sair desse atoleiro a tempo. Porque apostar é um atoleiro e ninguém sai ileso. Até os profissionais…
