I noticed there has been some topics about how first time winning is dangerous. What I am saying is someone that has not gamble before, to gamble and win. That it is dangerous. Yes it may be dangerous because the person may have the exciting mind to gamble more  and lose. But that is not the whole true story.

If not talking about the first time loss gamblers that later become addicted, what you are saying is not completely true. If we can do a survey of gamblers that won or lost in their first game, the people that will chose won can not be 100%. They might not be 70%. It may be 50%. Some people will gamble for the first time and lose and continue to gamble. The main reason is because they think gambling is a way money can be made. Unless they change their the way they think about gambling, that gambling is is not a money making means, first time win or loss is not necessarily the cause of their addiction.

Gamble with the money you can lose.
When someone is new to gambling, he has no good or bad experience with gambling.  So if he luckily wins his first bets then he has a good experience with gambling and he thinks that he will win like this in the future even if he loses later he thinks that he can win again and recover these losses.  Thinking this, he continued to gamble and suffered huge losses.  And if someone loses at the beginning of the game, he first has a bad experience which reduces his interest in gambling and he does not become a serious gambler.
