Yeah the first time that i made a bet, it was a football match
Real Madrid against Barcelona, i bet'ed like 10 LTC (they were around $15 each one during those times) for Real Madrid.
Barcelona won and i lost those funds..
Like you and many others my first bet was in football match. Mostly gamblers start from sports betting, most of us played something, for fun or professionally, and passion to watch big games and make some occasional bets is how it all starts. Now I like to play poker and dices more than to bet on sports, but I still do it from time to time when I watch some game I like to place a bet on that game, its more interesting.Real Madrid against Barcelona, i bet'ed like 10 LTC (they were around $15 each one during those times) for Real Madrid.

I dont remember my first sports bet exactly no, it was a parlay. I cant remember what I put in it but I do remember that it lost. It seemed to set a precedent for my gambling career
