You may have heard of something called ‘beginners luck’. It is phrase that is commonly used to describe someone who is new to playing a game but proves to be really good at it. However, luck does not choose, it is completely random and so to be a good beginner you need to make sure that you have skill.

All gambling need an element of skill, although some need a lot more than others. You need to master this in order to do well and if you can master it before you spend any money then you are more likely to do well from the beginning. The basic skills for all games are to understand the rules. You want to make sure that you have a complete understanding of what you need to do and how you win the game. For some this is very simple, but it can vary. It can be confusing in some games as there are different variations and different ways to win and so you need to be confident before you start, that you will know exactly what you need to do.

Some games need more skill than this. As well as understanding the rules, you also need to be aware of the tactics. This is more difficult and can take a lot of learning. You can read about the different skills involved and how to play to win, but often it is practice that can help. In order to do this, you could play on free games to get extra practice or you could play with friends and family. This can be fun and will help you to see where you need more thought in your game. You may even know people who are really good who can give you some specific guidance or you can watch online videos to get help as well.

Once you start playing or money, if you have already gained all the necessary skills and done a lot of practice, then you should be good. You may look like you are showing ‘beginners luck’ but actually it will be the fact that you know what you are doing and have learned the skills that you need in order to do the best that you can. Of course, when you gamble the odds will always be set in the favour of the casino. So even if you start lucky, chances are that you will not continue to be. If you do, it could be best to stop there and cash in, rather than continuing and risking losing money. But it depends how much you enjoy it and whether you are prepared to take the risk and spend the money in order to do so.
