For the folks whose parents didn't have anything to do with it when did you start gambling and why? Do you have anything or any memories you'd like to share of past gambling experiences? Would love to hear
My parents never gambled and I don't think that the subject ever came up, maybe they did before I was born but I wouldn't know. I don't think that anybody ever gave me advice when I was a young boy about gambling, everything I know I had to learn from my experience and from gamblers. The first time I gambled I was quite young then, I wanted to win a ball in 'scratch and win' cards, I lost all my money and I never won the ball. I cried and never gambled again till I became an adult, that experience made me never to take gambling too seriously and I never use substantial amounts to gamble.
