For me, it was a sense of curiosity and excitement. What about you?
I wanted to make easy and money from some street gambling when I was young
Financial benefits, gaining experience attracted me.
It was due to my friends; my first exposure to gambling was with my friends. It offered excitement and spending time with my friends which I always enjoy.
I think my answer would be similar to the other comments which is the excitement and curiousity. I think for most this is the reason since there's the possibility of winning money and venturing into something new.ย
