I think the first thing he has to do is to claim that money and then think later. Some parents might change their principles or beliefs when it comes to money, so I don't think it's necessary to keep it a secret from his parents. He can simply tell them that he won the money, and they will be able to help him spend or invest the money that came from gambling, coming from luck in gambling.
The person is unemployed and still young; that money would really help him big time if he uses it wisely. Maybe that will solve the problem of being unemployed on his part because he can start a business using the amount he won as capital.
There are many ways he can use that money, but the most important thing is to make that money a tool to develop himself and help other people.

His parents possible anger with him for winning such amount of money through betting is not enough and a legal reason for him not to tell them, it is a responsibility he owe his parents, so whether he likes it or not, he must tell his parents, and if his parents ask him to return the money, it is all about explanation and understanding, he can explain to his parents that there is no way he can return the money, i mean, who is he going to return the money to exactly, will he contact the casino and tell them he wished to return the money he won or what?, that makes no sense if you ask me.
So even if the parents get angry and tell him to return the money, it can only be for a while, after some time, the parents will definitely come around, and i will advise he should stop gambling/betting from now on as long as his parents are not in support of it, at least, until he becomes man enough and lives on his own, but as long as he is living under his parents roof, he should respect his parents even if some of their decisions and life style doest suit his.

Someone recently won $46,606 from making a correct prediction on one of the matches in the on-going 2023 FIFA Women World Cup competition from his wager of $10 on a sports betting website. The person is unemployed and within the ages of 20 - 23. He lives with his parents who are strict religious people that frown on gambling and other youthful vices. His parents are certainly not going to be happy that their son engages in gambling despite winning such huge amount of money. He doesn't want them to be upset with him. He says he's going to keep it a secret. I disagreed with him because despite having strict parents, they are going to be mad at him for a little while but I don't think they'll tell him to return the money. What do you guys think?
The guy has just won the money and doesn't have intentions to tell it to his parents, well, that's a better decision than returning the money. It doesn't make sense that after you won such amount, you're thinking of returning it despite winning it flawlessly. Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?
Nothing will change, whether he tells it or not. The winning is on him and he'll just probably get a sermon to his parents for gambling but even that, they'll just tell him to not do that again because what if he losses and becomes addicted. That's basically the debate goes around with a religious family.

He's damn old enough to make his own decisions, I reckon a simple talk and letting them know that he's 20 and that he's able to make his own decisions. Well, it still ultimately depends on how he knows his parents are though, keeping it a secret is an option imo but as you've said, telling them would be a lot better. But some parents are well, on the rather extreme end of things and if the man thinks their parents are like that, I reckon keeping it a secret wouldn't be so bad. July 30, 2023, 03:38:29 AM
His parents loves him and that's why. His will to take an action should not be cause he is afraid of them he must think about god/Allah first. If he don't care about the creator then fuck his parents no need to worry about them.

If he knew that his parents would be angry when he told the truth about his big win and received the money, it would be better for him not to say anything about it. Better to save the money for a while and act like nothing happened not to arouse any suspicion from his parents. Or he could secretly invest the money into something more beneficial to him. But there was also another option he could make, which was to tell about his winning honestly.
July 29, 2023, 08:49:14 PM
Only he can truly measure his parents. There are parents who are religious and who also frown on gambling but would probably set aside their stand upon knowing that a huge money is made by their son out of gambling. They will probably advice him to stop since he has already won big and rather than gamble his wins he better invest in. There are others, however, who give more weight and importance to their values that they won't compromise it for the money.
If his parents are like the former, he could open it up. But if his parents are like the latter, he better keep it as a secret.

He is 20 years old and jobless and has $46k it's a big opportunity to set up a business so he can stand on his own, he should establish his own business and just tell his parents later after his business becomes successful.
Yeah, I thought he was like 18 years old and below, he can make his own decision I guess. If I'm in that case then I will buy a house for my parents and man up to tell where the money came from.
It's hard to win $46k for the money to just give it back, you will feel sorry all your life if you did not take it I still consider it a blessing even if it comes from gambling, that his opportunity to prove to his parents that he can stand on his own and the $46k he won is his ticket to a successful business.
For sure his parents will understand that, it's a big chunk of money and they can live well off with that. In religion, it's better to tell the truth so for me as I have said, tell it right away and don't wait. If this parents love him, they will understand and maybe accept that money as well as some blessings.

he will have an insight about his parents' reactions depending on how he was raised. but for me, he can be honest with them, whatever consequences it may bring, should accept it. but don't return the money, he can very well stand on his own and make his own life. later on, his parents will surely accept him because after all, he is their family. they may not agree with your decisions in life but at the end of the day acceptance will always be there in the family. he can very well use it to improve their living and he can change his life for the better if he wants to.

Very hard to advise what the kid should do, but first he need to claim that money first and put it into his bank account. If his parents is really that strict then perhaps it's better not to tell them. Maybe he needs to wait for the right time, otherwise his parents might react violently and perhaps disown him because of their religious beliefs. But in any case, he should tell them later, and if everything comes to worst, then he has to face the consequences and just hope that his strict parents will understand everything. It's better to honest, instead of secretly hiding it.

He isn't 15. He is the age of someone who can vote, go to war, etc. I'd tell my parents and let the dice land where they may. It's much better being open than hiding stuff from people. If they don't like who ypu are then so be it. Much rather someone hate who I am than liking someone who they think I am but really am not.
July 29, 2023, 02:04:15 PM
If he's on a legal age, then he better open a bank and keep it there. If he knows his parents well, then they're more likely won't accept such money given that they're religious. And it would be a wasted money if he will not be able to make use of it. There's nothing wrong with hiding something from his parents as long as it is a positive thing. He earned or won money, that's it. Pushing it to be accepted by his parents won't do anything. Chances are high that his parents wouldn't want that money.
We can justify whatever wrong is done. Him winning a big amount is like the will of God. LOL
Anything as long as we benefit and so will this young man, he will defend his $46k. Maybe the young man is just not as religious as his parents.
As for me, there is nothing wrong with sports betting, all in the family sometimes watch together a basketball game and bet on each other. Anything that makes the family bond is good in the eyes of God. The young man just goes beyond the family.
Will of God? I doubt. That's luck. Betting is okay as long as you're the one making effort to have an amount to bet. If he's still dependent with his parents then it won't be a good idea. What if he did not win? Would it be the same reaction? Also, qould he be spending most of it bwcause of greed, in gambling? It'll depend on the boy's way of managing that money.

He has won the money and it will be a stupid decision to decide not to take the money you have won from gambling just because your parents do not approve of gambling in the first place. He can be smart about it and invest everything into buying bitcoins that he can keep secret from his strict parents and safe away from theft. If he invest it , in some few years when he finally takes the decision to leave his parents house, he will have enough funds to begin life with. He is not a child, his parents do not need to know everything in his life, there are some decisions he should be able to make on his own.

Keeping secrets is wrong period, at least from his parents. If he was that worried about his parents, he wouldn't have made the bet in the 1st place. May as well let his parents know he doesn't follow their religion as deeply as they do and he wants to be his own man. Grow some balls young man.

Yes, compulsive gambling can ruin one's life. The guy may have hit it big this time, but what about the next time? Maintaining a profitable betting streak is about as likely as seeing a unicorn in your garden.
Yet, this guy seemed to have hit the jackpot (at least for the time being). Concerning parental notification, well, every scenario is different, mate! He must decide if the potential harm from disclosing the money's origin is worth the gains from being open. On the flip side, if they find out on their own later, things wont end well.
Spending the money you won? Okay, I see your point. Instead of letting money sit in a savings account doing nothing, put it to work for you. Good fortune might change at any time, so take advantage while you can.

Not everything is fiction my friends. I know it sounds too good to be true Because you haven't seen it happen. Still , it doesn't mean cancel the fact that other people have seen or experienced it. I won't try to convince anyone or show receipts of our conversation. For people asking about the religion of the boy's parents,it is Christianity.
Just to add that the $46k has been converted to dollars. In his local currency, it is around 20million.

If the boy is a Muslim then he's surely done for, otherwise he can just keep it as a secret and invest into something else until his money grows. Being honest does work wonders however that isn't the case most of the time. I'd rather keep things secret for a while and establishing myself in a position wherein any outcomes of me telling the truth will not put me into a losing situation. His parents might disown him because of his gambling activities and might even kick him out of the house, but at least he has something going for him that could support his lifestyle and himself.
July 29, 2023, 12:18:54 PM
He says he's going to keep it a secret.
The question is how long is he going to keep it as a secret, no matter how he try’s to keep it as a secret, their will definitely be some changes in his behavior which will make his parents suspect him maybe he is doing some illegal things to get money, you can’t have that kind of money and you think you will be leaving a normal life which you do leave before, it’s not really possible, their will be changes in lots of things like your taste, your dressing and other things like that.What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?
Seriously I will just recommend him to tell his parents about the win, actually he didn’t do anything illegal to get the money, he didn’t hurt anyone or steal from anyone. I know some parents are so religious, and since gambling is strictly prohibited so they won’t like the idea of their son gambling, but I know the only thing they can do is just get mad at him, which if he keeps on pleading, they will end up forgiving him and asking him not to go back to gambling, and they will be able to make use of the money, they can plan the appropriate investments which the boy can make.
