About 18 years for me - which is about how old I wish I was now.

I think I started with 15... so about 12 years ago.

But if you talk about taking betting seriously, I would go with ~3years ago.

I have been gambling since the mid 60s. My first bet was for $5 on Mich St. against Notre Dame in that famous 10-10 tie back in 1965 or 66, I was in high school at the time but worked in a restaurant after school and bet one of the bartenders who was a big ND fan.

Does "flipping" for lunch money (or baseball cards) in junior high count?

Two-way flip you call odds or evens, three-way flip no one calls,
but odd man out wins.

If that counts, been gambling for ~32 years.

 

[bellyputter]

50+ years. I played hop-scotch for lunch money in kindergarten. Sad.

 

[oldmanTED]

Including my teenage years, 48 as I began by helping a neighbor who ran a casino out of there home. First game ever played was roulette.

 

[Moneyneversleeps]

Since I was 13 years old. Started going to Vegas when I was 18 using a fake ID. Sports betting started in 2001. Never had a problem with it. Never lost more than $2000 in a year. I play for low limits as it is just something that I like to do for entertainment.
