First time winnings are just like a magic, unbelievable and very engaging. It has a way of falsely making you believe that you would be profitable in the long run and you throw in everything in you to hit it bigger. I would always mention that my very first win in gambling which was over $600 was very substantial to my addiction struggles and that of my friend who initially hated gambling. I thought I have found a safe heaven and would continue winning, but reality struck me and I was devastated.
First time win can act as a trap to take gambling more seriously, only those with either a mentor or proper orientation on gambling in moderation can really try escaping such traps.
The first time results in gambling always determines everything because wining has it own urge and the factors that hides the real truth about gambling while the losing sometimes gives the first timers the knowledge of the uncertainty and the fear of putting more than anticipated because of the first result they witnessed the first time, so actually don't you think that if everybody had gone by this lifestyle and mentality it could have been the best to started the first experience in gambling with lost? so that some of the overconfident that leads to aggressive gambling wouldn't have happened. Meanwhile i would say you had a first time massive wining to have recorded this amount just by the starting day of gambling.
