I thought it was going to be another post asking, 'how did you start to gamble', but it had twist to it, which was nice to see.

Anyway, I started the 'wrong way', but eventually learned to gamble the 'right way'.

There are few comments here who mention they started the 'right way' — I must call 'em wise  Grin

I started gambling when I was a kid, it was not initially money but toys.  I see my neighbor playing and betting with their toys and got curious.  It was called "kalog tansan" where each participant have their own "pamato" that involves a battle cap (pamato), shaking them altogether,  and throwing them in the air, the one that lands on a different face than the rest wins. So curiosity triggers me to start my gambling journey.

I can say that I started gambling in neither of the options but then later shifted to win, since in this gambling with toys, the aim is literally to win the toys of the opponent.  It goes on until I started gambling with money.  Yes, there is fun in there, but still the desire to win can't be removed.  I bet all of the gamblers here wanted to win. I don't think it was wrong, but one should implement self-discipline and bet not what they can't afford to lose.

Well, in that case, I also started 'gambling' much earlier then, we used to play cards amongst friends and there would be this cricket players and wwe wrestler stickers at stake.
