    Age when YOU made your first bet?

    ---VOTE THREAD! CONFIDENTIAL---

    Hey guys, just gonna make a poll asking people what is their age when they made their first bet... could be 50cents against a friend that eventually turned to SBR anyways just curious. I personally started at the age of 17... buying a parlay card. What about you? Please be honest here... and please share some of your stories with us here i would love to hear whats it like when winning your first parlay or picking the correct side on a big game. Cheers people!

    Under 18. I would assume it would be for 90% of posters here.

    wow nice... my first was when i was working in the dep, a big dude who always comes and bet 100$ basketball 3 teamers made a 100$ bet(yet again) and i erased the amount of 100 and circled the part that states 10$... lost that though lmao... lost 2 more afterwards... first time i cashed was a 3$ bet on 5 NHL favorites. They all won and it paid 15 so a 12$ win for me! You guys have no idea how damn excited i was hahaha but ya... since i was the man in charge of the dep i could bet even before 18... and anyways im a tall dude white boys cant tell the difference!

    Bring more interesting stories on people! And state who you made the bet with too and whether u won or not!

    My uncle introduced me to gambling and alcohol before I was a teen. Best uncle in the world. Also took me to my first strip club.

    I was 13 or 14 years old. My first bet was a huge nhl parlay, I knew nothing about betting but parlay hit anyway. It was a pure luck. After that, my local bookie didn't let me bet, so my father used to do it for me. Sweet times.

    not suprised the majority here has made bets before the age of 18, we are degenerates after all.

    my first official bet was when i was ~12-13 years old.

    I remember my dad waking me up early Sunday mornings to go to the casino and get parlay cards. I was probably 7-8 years old.

    10 years old, bet 20 on the braves in the world series. Lost and couldn't pay due to being 10. My dad had to pay the guy (my sisters bf) and he beat me unmercifully

    Pitched pennies when I was 10 at Boy Scout Camp
    Went to the track with my dad at 14
    I used to sit in the high school library at 15 with a friend and we would bet dimes on every football lined game on the board.
