~It is ironic that the newbies that are the luckiest at the beginning are in fact the ones that could suffer the worst effects from gambling,
I don't share this notion that "newbies are always lucky" or something like that, but I agree that those newbies who
are lucky right when they started gambling are in big danger actually.
I think you didn't get the gist of what he wrote, he didn't mean to say that all newbies are the luckiest but only referring to those ones who are the luckiest. And of course, that luck may enter their heads in the beginning, but this will only lure them deeper into it, and hence into their doom if they did not prepare well for gambling. This is why I often advise everyone to learn how to gamble and also make sure they know the pros and cons attached to it. This is irrespective of whether you've been gambling for long or not, so long as you never know the rudiment of gambling. it is better to retrace your steps and do the needful in order to preserve your money and sanity.
Luck is real in gambling but it can only come to you once in a while, so something you can't control or have reliability over, can you base a viable plan on it? This is what many of them do not know. Luck may be shining on them this minute but in the very next minute, it is gone, which is why you see many of them hitting it big at first but will not quit, sadly, before the end of their gambling session, they could have returned back to negative.
To avoid all these, it is better to have a viable gambling system and be very strict with sustainable management and budget that will preserve responsible gambling in your engagements with it.
