If you don't know how to gamble responsibly it is better to stay around people that understand gambling a lot and have profitable history that have shown that they are really making money from gambling.
This is underrated but can be really helpful for a newbie who just started gambling all for the aim of making so much money from gambling. They might lose themself to addiction before they know it. But if they get along with someone with a deeper understanding about how rightly gambling should be followed, it sure going to be helpful as there are certain gambling challenges that such a newbie will be having no problems with.
What really matters is self control, the new gambler shouldn't see gambling as a means to make profits, if not he will overdo it, even though, he is been guided by an experience gambler. This is because having self control and gambling responsible is what you must have in your mind all the time whenever you want to gamble. A little win or loss can trigger you to continue gambling since making profits is your priority.
