Hey everyone!
I'm pretty new to gambling and just do it for fun. I've set a monthly budget so I don't go overboard, but I’m looking for some advice from you pros out there. What tips do you have for someone starting out? What should I keep in mind to make sure I'm just having a good time and not getting into trouble? Would love to hear your experiences and any tricks you’ve picked up along the way.
Thanks!
Hey! Honestly, if you’re new to gambling, my best advice is to just avoid it altogether. It can be more addictive and risky than it seems, and there are better ways to spend your time and money. Stay safe and keep your budget intact!
Good day, if you think gambling is a direction you should go:
1) make sure you thoroughly understand the rules of the game you are playing ... a surprising amount of money can be lost or won with those fringe rules that seldom come into play
2) have a basic understanding of statistics - understand a bell shaped curve, mean, median, variance, standard deviation, etc. ... this is important to understanding house edge and volatility.
3) understand how the casino mixes the rules and the statistics together to have an edge ... seriously, can you answer where the edge comes from in blackjack? it is completely different than how it comes in roulette.
For Online Casinos:
4) Beware the bonus offer ... yes, they can be useful - but many have remarkably strict conditions to meet ... make sure you understand what is required to successfully get money / winnings from a bonus.
For Training or Serious Play:
5) A great way to stretch your money, get practice, and learn your weaknesses is to enter tournaments. Some are free while others cost a few dollars. But for those few dollars you probably get a few hundred chips, a lot of play time, and (as you get better) a chance to win prizes (bonuses, cash, etc).

Hey, I see you've gotten some advice from the players. I would also say that the biggest win is not to play in the casinos, because sometimes it's more of a waste of money than a good win.
But if you want to give it a try and you know you have a budget that you don't mind spending, then my best advice is to always find out as much information as possible about the casino you want to play at to avoid any unpleasantness ahead of time. Always read carefully if you are taking any bonuses or if something is not clear to you. There are terms and conditions for this. If you don't understand something, contact chat or support and ask. It's not a bad idea to take screenshots of important conversations if you have problems. We have a lot of great guides where you can find out what you need to know, and to get you started, I might share the following. Since you are new to this world, things like this - Introduction to online casinos - will definitely come in handy. It might also be nice to know what to watch out for and thus- How to choose an online casino.
Of course, if you want to ask anything, go ahead, I think other players besides me might be able to help.
I'll be here if you need me. 🙂
I can see that this thread is very popular among players and I'm glad to see some players' opinions. Of course gambling should be just occasional fun but I guess we know how it can end. That's why anyone with a strong will, I would say, should be able to play.
If someone thinks they're going to win all loses all back, I'd see a warning finger. If someone thinks they can make a profit from it, I'd see it the same way.
And so I'm happy to see players who are also conscious. 🙂
Jeg vil råde dig til kun at spille kampagner, hvor dine indsatser er +EV. For eksempel er RTP 95%, du skal satse 100 euro for at få gratis spins til en værdi af 10 euro. Spil kan faktisk være rentabelt. Jeg har gjort det i 13 år, men jeg spiller mest poker. Du kan tælle kort i BlackJack, det er ikke svært, ikke med den enkleste tællemetode. Professionelle gør det ikke online, fordi fortjenesten per time er meget lavere sammenlignet med live-spil. Men du kan spille +EV online. Sportsvæddemål er heller ikke svært at tjene. Med slots kan du udover kampagner også kun spille for bonusser. Ved allerede at vælge en slot og indsatsstørrelse. Indsatsen er fast, for så betaler de ikke, selvom det ikke er skrevet i reglerne. Og der spilles også kun én slot, for igen, så kan de "dømme" at du er i strid og ikke udbetale gevinsten.
Da disse ting kan kombineres. For eksempel spiller du med en bonus på en spilleautomat med en akkumuleret progressiv jackpot, som er en af de mindste. I betydningen en lille jackpot, som en fortjeneste, i forhold til din indsats. Eller en turnering + jackpot osv...
Men kun med et +EV-spil. Da du ikke kan lade være med at snuble over noget, du virkelig kunne lide, er det vigtige at mærke dig selv og komme ud af dette sump i tide. For gambling er et sump, og ingen slipper tørt væk. Selv de professionelle...
