Consejos para nuevos jugadores: ¿Qué consejo le darías a alguien que recién comienza a jugar?

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. 🙂

I will advise you to only play promotions where your bets are +EV. For example RTP is 95%, you need to bet 100 euros to get free spins worth 10 euros. Gambling can actually be profitable. I've been doing this for 13 years, but I mostly play poker. You can count cards in BlackJack, it's not hard, not with the simplest counting method. Professionals don't do it online because the profit per hour is much lower compared to live games. But you can play +EV online. Sports betting is also not difficult to earn. With the slots, in addition to promotions, you can also play only for bonuses. By already selecting a slot and bet size. The bet is fixed because then they won't pay even if it's not written in the rules. And also only one slot is played, because again, then they may "judge" that you are in violation and not pay out the winnings.

As these things can be combined. For example, you play with a bonus on a slot with an accumulated progressive jackpot, which is one of the smallest. In the sense of a small jackpot, like a profit, relative to your bet. Or a tournament + jackpot, etc...

But with a +EV game only. Since you can't help but stumble on something you really liked, the important thing is to feel yourself and get out of this quagmire in time. Because gambling is a quagmire and no one gets away dry. Even the professionals…

Ще ти дам съвет да играеш само на промоции, където залозите са ти +EV. Примерно RTP е 95% , трябва да заложиш 100 евро, за да вземеш безплатни врътки на стойност 10 евро. От хазарт всъщност може и да се печели. Издържам се с това от 13 години, но играя предимно покер. При BlackJack може да се броят карти, не е трудно, не и с най-простия метод за броене. Професионалистите не го правят онлайн, понеже печалбата на час е много по-ниска , в сравнение с игрите на живо. Но може да играеш +EV онлайн. От спортни залози също не е трудно да се печели. При слотовете, освен за промоции, може да играеш и само за бонуси. Като вече се подбира слот и големина на залог. Залогът е фиксиран, защото после няма да изплатят, дори да го няма написано в правилата. И също се играе само на един слот, понеже пак, после може да "преценят", че си в нарушение и да не изплатят печалбите.

Като тези неща може да се комбинират. Примерно играеш с бонус на слот с натрупан прогресивен джакпот, който е от най-малките. В смисъл малък джакпот, като печалба , спрямо залога ти. Или пък турнир + джакпот и т.н...

Но с игра само на +EV. Като няма как да не залитнеш по нещо, което много ти е харесало, важното е да се усещаш и да излизаш навреме от това блато. Защото хазартът е блато и никой не излиза сух. Дори професионалистите...

Don’t bother. Find a different hobby

Better keep your hands off it. Gambling is the most expensive hobby in the world.

Lass lieber die Finger davon. Denn das Glücksspiel ist das teuerste Hobby der Welt.

Ok. I see some useful advices are given and would agree with most of them. There were advices to keep away from gambling, not bad also, however it's everyones choice, of course.

As advice I'll give 2 short golden rules.

Rule # 1. Doesn't depend you win or loose - always keep in mind one simple Magic Key word: <<< ENOUGH !!!>>>

Rule # 2. Never forget the Rule # 1

In addition I can give a little advice that comes from Rule # 1. Stop playing when you feel you're trying to return your lost money. Taking revenge on the casino (continuing gameplay) or persistently trying to win back from it is a stupid idea. If you do, then Most likely the lost 70 will soon turn into 700, and then 700 - into 7000.

I recommend that you do not gamble. If you do, never try to recover what you lost, that is, always keep in mind that you will NEVER beat a casino in the long term, even if you win a very large prize, if you continue playing you will lose it sooner or later, if you win something, walk away immediately, forget about the game and only play again with a small budget, always keeping in mind that in the long term you will never make a profit.

I don't think I could have said it better myself than you did. I agree with every single word you said in your post, and it's not for nothing that they say the one who doesn't play wins. Unfortunately, I am of the opinion that most players think that they will win a big amount again and that's why they keep trying. Eventually, they'll put everything they've won over there and they'll be back where they were and they'll get into the black numbers. When someone is lucky, the best thing to do would be to withdraw the money and not play in the casinos anymore. 

How can I progress in the slot tournaments?

Como posso progredir nos torneiros de slots?

Hello. I'd say it depends on each tournament's specifics.

For instance, some tournaments are focused on winnings more than others, while some may consider all the money wagered for scoring. Soemtimes the certain win multiplier is neccessary.

The easiest way to understand how you can win is by consulting the tournament rules or asking the casino support for further explanation. Do you perhaps have some concrete tournament in mind?

As a beginner player, I can accurately state my observations that you need to be careful where to play and take a proven site by rating, with a license and good technical support.

With fast deposit and withdrawal.

Hello,

1. Set a Budget and Stick to It: Decide how much money you can afford to lose and never exceed that amount. Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.

2. Understand the Game Rules: Before playing any game, make sure you know the rules and basic strategies. This can help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

3. Choose Games with Better Odds: Different games have different house edges. Games like blackjack, poker, and certain bets in craps tend to have more favorable odds for players compared to slot machines or keno.

4. Avoid Chasing Losses: If you're having a losing streak, it’s better to walk away rather than try to win back the money quickly. Chasing losses can lead to losing even more.

5. Take Regular Breaks: It’s easy to lose track of time while gambling, which can lead to fatigue and poor decision-making. Regular breaks can help keep you alert and in control.

6. Know When to Stop: Set win and loss limits before you start playing. If you reach those limits, stop gambling, even if you're tempted to keep going.

7. Stay Sober: Alcohol and drugs can impair your judgment and lead to reckless gambling decisions. Always play with a clear mind.

8. Learn Basic Strategies: For games like poker or blackjack, studying and applying basic strategies can greatly improve your chances of success.

9. Gamble for Fun, Not Profit: Treat gambling as a form of entertainment. The moment you start gambling with the sole aim of making money, it can become risky and stressfully

I think it will help, in my opinion there are very important tips to follow. Good luck mate 🤞
