I'm very curious to know of all the folks in here that gamble, did your parents gamble when you were growing up and is that the reason that you gamble as well? Or is the very reason that you gamble was because your parents shunned it? I feel like this could go either way. It could also be a neutral stance.
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
Everyone has their experience with gambling, my addiction started when I got introduced to sports betting. I was only going to bet centers to play because that's what my peers were doing. I would say that I got addicted as a result of peer pressure, I didn't know much about it and most times I always copy bets from others. Overtime this became an habit unconsciously to me, I found myself getting more drawn to it until I started losing a significant amount of money. Addiction doesn't start in a day, it starts gradually and If you are not careful you will end up having a problem.
