What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?

In my opinion, the boy should NOT tell their parents about his gambling activities. It will basically bring more harm than good- the boy is aware that what he did was wrong and if he sweared that he would not gamble again, then the best action is to just keep it to himself.

I have a question- is the boy living comfortably? Is his family not financially challenged or struggling to make ends meet? If no, then he should just re-invest his money to make the most out of this luck. If yes, I think he is somehow obligated to tell his parents in order to at least help the family financially.

The decision to make is in the boys hand. If he loves his parents and he is still a mummy's boy then he wouldn't be able to leave the house because he will miss his parents a lot,and there is no way that he would stay in the same house with his parents that his dad wouldn't hear the news from the way he spends and other people can tell the dad. This will be the worst because what you were hiding will be exposed,since you can't hide 46k just like that.

On the other hand,if he sees himself old enough to be a man,he should tell his parent and if they disagree with the wins, he can go get an apartment and invest the money into a business that he has knowledge on. If his parent disown him,that shouldn't be a problem after all he is rich and wouldn't need anything from them.

Congratulations to the person making such a wonderful sports betting win! It's also great that the person in question is of the majority age, so what his parents believe is sort of irrelevant. To be honest, the whole vibe of the post sounds like this person might be a minor, significantly below the stated age. If he's a minor, waiting till officially becoming an adult OR telling the parents is required. If he's truly in his twenties, it should not be a problem for him to cash out the price onto his own bank account, and I don't think adults have any obligations to tell their parents anything. So if they are very prejudiced against gambling, I understand the urge not to tell them, at least not for a while. Also, with a win like that, I'm sure he can afford to rent a place of his own now, so maybe it's time to move out. Finding a thing to do with life would still be very desirable, of course, but now there are savings to rely on.
Perhaps using a part of that money to, say, buy Bitcoin or invest in something else makes sense, yes.

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.

What kind of bet would give you a whooping $46,606 from a $10 bet on a Women's World Cup match. He needs to parlay a odds worth of 4,660x in order to win that amount and still the group stage matches are ongoing and only the Philippines win over New Zealand can be seen as an upset as of the matches conducted in this World Cup.

Looks like a propaganda fake story of vice and virtue spreading during Women's World Cup Cheesy

A little confused with your story because the story is incomplete, you don't say what religion you mean and also don't write the source of the story or is it your own personal story?
I want to ask a $46,606 win on a $10 bet means the multiplier is around 4600x, my question is he betting on underdogs or handicaps or something?
Because the 4600x multiplier in sports betting to my knowledge doesn't exist or is he doing parlay bets?
Actually I still have a lot of questions but that already represents all the questions that are in my mind and I think even if he has parents whose religion is very strong he will definitely be scolded and asked to return the money because his parents don't want bad things to happen to their child.
Or if not he can use the money to buy something that can be invested like buying gold or a house that is much better

Source or this is not gonna happened? How does the winner of this amount suddenly just got doxxed while Sportsbet doesn’t ask for any personal informations when someone won on their casino.

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? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?

He is already on legal age while he can use the money to financially separate to his parents and live on his own. This is not a problem at all. Parents doesn’t need to know about his money because he is not a kid anymore. He is not a boy because he is already on legal age.

probably Islam. it's the only religion i know that despises gambling so much especially if the father has strong values.
but if it's something else. they can tolerate gambling and just go on taking the money. with the current situation of the world economy and people losing jobs. it's hard to resist that $46,606.

I am aware that gambling is a sin based on Islamic beliefs. It is highly frowned upon because it can lead to greed and the uncontrollable pursuit of wealth. There is no biblical backup that forbids Christians from gambling. I am not well enlightened on how gambling is viewed by other religions but I guess they are Muslims.

He is just predicting his parent's reaction. He needs to inform them because he depends on them for now. They might be angry but it wouldn't last forever. He will apologize to them and promise to quit gambling if they insist. I believe they will not ask him to refuse to claim the win or to return it because the money is huge.

It will be difficult for him to hide his win and behave like nothing happened. Money can change the behavior and lifestyle of anybody. You cannot have money and not acquire what you desire. Also, if he is not careful he might end up investing wrongly which might lead to a total loss of funds.

This winning is quite doubt on my side I'm playing a lot of games of sports and e-sports betting but this wage of 10 USD must have a really good odds to win this large amount of profit, and another thing that person with that age is can live at his own in some point that's the time most of the children want to separate to their parents so they become dependent on their decisions in life, ideal for me is to keep it secret we know how does the parents who are not into the technology might wonder how you will got those amount and make some weird conclusions how you get those money and if you want to can give them. I guess religion does not brings here up on gambling its all about the parenting perspective, with due all respect to other religion.

Despite how I imagined this to be fictional story I'll try to give the best advise I will give if it were a real live event.
20 years old by constitution isn't a boy anymore but a man and is old enough to speaking and taking decisions for himself. The parents are not strict that they want to remain poor for life so the boy should go ahead and inform them of his fortune, they are allowed to get angry anyway but they will definitely look at the bigger picture of what such amount of money $46k can do in their life tremendously.

But if the parent rescinded and ask him to return the money, then the young got to think twice that he's got a future ahead of him and such amount of money well invested in his future he's made for life.
To those that don't know, let it be known that gambling money isn't an illicit money because your religion condemns it doesn't make it an evil money, there are things/actions that religious fanatics exhibit that their religion doesn't condemn it but by human moral standard those actions are far worse than partaking in gambling.

OP did not mention the religion but its ok if the parent is strictly religious there's a possibility that he will ask to return the money so he better kept it himself since he is old enough to decide for himself, he can set up a business since he is jobless
and maybe in the future tell this to his parent when he becomes successful in the business that he sets up using the money he won in sports betting, you just can't ignore $46k it's a big money to be ignored.

There is no problem at all if he doesn't tell his parents. He is 20, he is in legal age.

But then $46k is a lot of money so what would his parents say if he says he will donate half of it to the church where they pray? It wouldn't be so hard to accept the money after all its sports. A fan will always favor one team over the other. Would his parents be mad about it iff his son bet a lunch against another fan? It's just a lunch but its no different to money especially $46k

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

Anyone above 20 is legally allowed to make their life choices in most parts of the world so seeking permission from parents doesn't matter at all. But if he feels that it is going to end their relationship then better shut his mouth and just focus on other things like he made the money with luck and that's it. Whichever decision he makes, it should be well-considered and aligned with his own principles and beliefs.

just curious, do you personally know the person? are you gonna personally relay what you think is the best adivce that will be given?

anyway, I know how extremely unreasonable religious parents can be and I wouldn't be surprised if the parent ask him to return or throw the money or disowns him if he didn't(yes, it can happen in real life). if his parents are religious nuts, it would be better for him to keep it a secret, for his own safety, but if his parents are just your typical religious people I guess it wouldn't be such a bad idea to tell them about the winnings.

20 to 23 years old is enough to decide for himself and take responsibility for all his actions if he gambles and wins that big amount he should take it, tell his parent, and explain that he is old enough to do things on his own as long as he is a responsible guy.

His parents will be mad but he should not give the money back and just explain that gambling is for entertainment and he is not spending more, he should use the money to set up a business and prove to them that winning is a blessing for him so he can set up his own business if he kept it a secret his parents will eventually know it and there will be misunderstanding, its important in a family to be open and honest.

Gamble responsibly

What makes what you are talking about to be valid and not fake?

No matter how religious my parent are, I will tell them the source of my money. If they are very religious, that should not affect what I should become. I will tell them and I definitely know that blood is thicker than water. I am good in the public, I am not a thief, I am not involved in any crime, so I am not a disappointment.

If I am the parent, I will only advice the child to use the money to establish, not to use it to gamble.
