A boy won #38,000,000 ($82340.19) with just #400 ($0.87) and when the boy brought home his win, the biological father of the boy rejected the money because it was gotten from gambling. So that makes me to think how people look or see or think of gambling. Is gambling a bad thing to do? As for me gambling is not a bad something but the individual can be bad and also the way you present yourself in the society can also tell people about your personality.
In my personal view, I think that one person's personal opinion can be different. Suppose in my case I take gambling as just for fun as a purpose of entertainment. I don't think that gambling was that kind of bad thing when it can be control and avoided the addiction on it. But in most cases gamblers cannot control themselves and become addicted to gambling and therefore gambling is known as a bad act in our society.Quote
How do you see the father? Was he right by rejecting the son gambling win?
I don't know why the boy's father rejected it, but I respect his opinion. Because he rejected such a large amount of money, maybe it could be his religious reason or anything others. He is right in his place, I don't think we need to worry about it. He didn't want to take the gambling money, so it's good to let him be as he is.

If the boy spends the gambling money for family purposes, then his family will have a great life in the future.But on the other hand it is also a matter that in my opinion is more of a principle and the father does not want to violate that principle and of course that is his choice.
It will not be in vain because indeed it is also the right of the child, it's just that the father doesn't want to accept the money now it depends on the child what to do with it because he is actually quite an adult in my opinion and even this kind of thing is good in discuss it with your parents but the decision must be based on yourself because already an adult he also knows what is best for him.

It is really just that sad to that boy is that he would really be definitely be having that emotional damage considering that he had thought that this might be causing for his father to be glad on what he did,
but somewhat he had instead getting the negative or the opposite on which he would likely be giving back those money which he would really be obeying on what his father had been telling on.
Well its situational because it would really be just depending on peoples principle, some might be considerate but there are some who would really be sticking.

While other fathers would crave for huge wins from gambling, this story is different. Probably, his father is a devoted Muslim and gambling is strictly prohibited in their culture. That’s why even if the winnings can change their lifestyle, his father still chose to reject it because whatever they get from gambling is always unacceptable. It could have been a lot of money for gamblers, but for anti-gambling culture, it’s always nothing and will never be essential.
In fact, it is not a matter of which religion the father adheres to and what their culture is, because all religions, not only Muslims, also prohibit gambling activities, and even some cultures do not allow gambling.there must be a reason behind the refusal and what is the exact cause we do not know clearly.
What is certain is that gambling is not a good thing for a child, moreover he is still young so he can easily or has the potential to become a gambling addict.
The man could be a title holder in his place of worship, and being a personality other worshipers look up to, he possibly is finding it difficult to accept the means through which his son made money, knowing fully well its against their faith.
I am not at all surprised that his father turned down that amount of money from his son. If the man's religion forbade gambling, I think he made the right decision. After all, in some religions, gambling is forbidden and, when it is practiced, it is a sin. For this reason, any person who is devoted to their religion will avoid doing anything that will enrage God.
Gambling may be good thing to some people but for me I don't see it as a good thing because the experience I got from there was very bad and I believe that is what a lot people are experiencing too.if you are a gambler is hardly you may achieve something good with people especially if someone is addicted to gamble. Many people that have won money from gambling they do always waste it in gambling again,it is only few of them that do achieve something with it.
I believe that by refusing to accept the money, his father has acted morally and responsibly as a parent. If you want your child to grow up to be a nasty person, don't ever teach him bad habits as a parent. It will be extremely difficult for the man's kid to stop gambling if he receives that money, and if the youngster develops a gambling addiction, it will ruin his future.
Without a doubt, this story reveals the seedy underbelly of gambling and its pernicious consequences on the ties that bind a family. But hold for a sec: the problem isn't the risk itself, it's how we're feeling about it. The pope claimed the high moral ground by sticking to his principles, highlighting the pivotal importance of one's own ethics while making decisions. Wait a minute! Isn't it possible to keep things fair with some form of regulated betting? Not everyone who plays the odds gets sucked into a black hole of addiction and destruction.Gambling may be good thing to some people but for me I don't see it as a good thing because the experience I got from there was very bad and I believe that is what a lot people are experiencing too.if you are a gambler is hardly you may achieve something good with people especially if someone is addicted to gamble.

Contrary to what you may have heard, gambling isn't always disastrous if you know how to keep your cool. As long as you have the self-control to establish limits and adhere to them, gaming may be a relaxing pastime on par with listening to your favourite music or watching your favourite shows on repeat. This may be the perfect opportunity for Pops to teach Junior the value of keeping his cool and playing it smart in the face of the many challenges life throws at him, not just in the casino.

Father must have money and can provide for his family. He Wouldn't act that way if they don't have enough. Or maybe the father is really a disciplinarian and wanted the boy to stop gambling as well.
I wonder who is this young man. Am sure betting is 18+which very much designates him for an adult and ought not to be living with the family. If he ain't sure if he should have been living with the family, this was a good sign to start living out and being his own person. I think that would be the case in the end.
Unfortunately, we don't know the reason why the father acted like that in the first place after knowing that his son won a staggering $51,000 in gambling because the story was not released in a full detailed version and was a kind of short. Actually, I never had a story that was reported like this where they leave the readers a lot more questions in their head rather than understanding the story and why such behaviors have occurred instead of being thankful to the fact.
The father rejecting these funds can not really be because of gambling... Maybe the man had worked all his life and the son had it the easy way and the father couldn't stand the easy life the son was about to get on and only yo send the message was to reject the money to tell the son that life is not easy..you need to work for it, to enjoy it!

own family but if not? The better not to proceed out because it would really just making yourself putting up on a situation where you would be living in poverty.Marriage life isnt something that would really be that a simple obligation and responsibility and that boy would definitely be living under his parents. There are ones who are really that scared and follow on what father told him.
Its true that if that Father or their family does have that sufficient wealth then $1000 wont be something important for him to mind on but rather would be sticking on what he do believed and would really be
going along with his principle. About the childs action? Whether he would oppose or not but we know that most likely we would really be following their orders.
If im that kid then i would really be betting those money rather than on giving it back.

The sin will just go ahead to spend his winning and the father may miss out on benefiting from such huge winning from his son because such an amount can change the future of the family without much I do.
Assuming this news are actually a fact, that is.
I am still in doubt of it, however, I do not have much problem on assuming there is people out there in the world whose personal beliefs are stronger to their desire for money. That is something I have seen to be true in Asia, and those who practice the lessons of Buddha.
We are talking about religion after all, you may love to eat pork but if you become a muslin you need to quit it, it is the same with cults which reject the materialism and consumerism of the modern world.
I'm curious of how old this boy is, anyone know? I think it's pretty ridiculous of his father to do this. So what did they do with the money? I suppose the father is trying to teach his young son (I'm assuming he's under 21 years old) a lesson, but I don't think this is the right way to go about it.
The father likely doesn't support gambling simply because it goes against his old school way of viewing things. This tends to be the case for a lot of people.
The boy about 19 years old , may be school boy.The father likely doesn't support gambling simply because it goes against his old school way of viewing things. This tends to be the case for a lot of people.
The boy's father orders his son to refund the money but the boy's elder brother and the boy's mother are interested in keeping the money and they admit that they have two months' house rent due and if they use this money they can pay their two months' house rent. And they will be able to live in peace. Although the boy's father does not agree but the boy's mother is against the boy's father.

Since in this case the boy's elder brother asked for advice whether it would be reasonable to return their money. But I think they did not refund the gambling money and the exact information about this is not known later.
The sin will just go ahead to spend his winning and the father may miss out on benefiting from such huge winning from his son because such an amount can change the future of the family without much I do.
What I want to see is the update about this and how was the boy reacted and and what is the movement he comes out.
Because I believe that if the boy made to gamble all those times meaning His father did not look into what is he dealing and yeah that means they allow him to gamble but does not want to win?
If I were to be the boy? surely I will leave the house and will live my own .
The boy is addicted to gambling maybe his father doesn't know about it but when the boy wins the gambling and gets money profit then maybe the boy's father comes to know about it and makes him pay back the gambling money. In this case, the boy's father had religious feelings behind not taking the gambling money and the boy decided to return the gambling money based on that religious feeling. In this case, the boy did not disobey his father and he was forced to obey his father's orders completely.Because I believe that if the boy made to gamble all those times meaning His father did not look into what is he dealing and yeah that means they allow him to gamble but does not want to win?
If I were to be the boy? surely I will leave the house and will live my own .
