I know someone that gambled for the first time that lost the game immediately and he told me he is no more gambling again.

In my case, when I started betting on sports, I only lost for 2 weeks. In every game I bet on, I lost. My bad luck was so bad that I even lost in games with odds of 1.10. I didn't know how to analyze games. I just bet based on the teams I knew. The funny thing is that after two weeks of losing, I was lucky enough to win and then I stopped playing for a long time. Because I realized that I didn't have enough knowledge to continue with sports betting and I was very tired of losing consecutively for 2 weeks.

It usually happens that we bet on the team we know or the one that is popular with most people. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, that is just how it goes. This kind of strategy is not bad. Besides, not every player or team we know can win every game, so losing is normal.
However, it is quite difficult if we are not really into sports and still decide to bet on it. It is better to choose something we are comfortable with and have enough knowledge about rather than forcing ourselves into something that feels like we punished ourselves.
