Most of the new people loss their money in the gambling just to learn the game,the new gamblers should play the demo game as the initial phase.With my knowledge seventy percentage of the gamblers only play the game with the real money from the beginning of the gambling,the reason began this was they will get inspired by the person close to them and made the big winning in gambling.
Starting gambling with demo account without having the real understanding of gambling will make no difference even if one have practice gambling with a demo. Gambling can't be predicted even in demo or gambling with the real money, all that matters to be I safe guard is to have understanding of playing with money that you can afford to lose and also know your limit of gambling, when to play gamble and when to stop.
Having a good understanding about gambling you can be able to reduce the risk of losing too much money, but when the understanding is not their playing with demo won't even help you. It is in the real gambling when you will have the real urge for gambling but understanding will help one how to be able to make use of self control to go about it.
