Topic: appropriate environment for a kid (Read 428 times)
It depends on the environment. If it's safe, family-friendly, and gambling isn’t heavily present, it might be okay. But if betting and adult behavior dominate, it’s not ideal for kids that young.
recently i went into a billiards place and noticed that the kids of the owners were there playing in a table as well this got me thinking whether this is an appropriate environment for these kids to be at
i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting
what do you think? is it normal for kids to be at billiards places now or should they not be allowed there?
It will not be a problem as long as the children are just playing, this is very normal, maybe they are bored and then need entertainment and decide to play billiards. it is true that the environment is one of the most important factors in the formation of children, so if parents find out that their children are playing billiards where adults often bet better to give directions to billiards places that are more friendly to children, prevention is the most important thing. i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

Actually, if Im not mistaken, billiards is an officially recognized sport. It is played in tournaments all over the world, and its even been featured in the Olympics.
yes it is a sport in my country we actually have a very well known athlete when it comes to billiards but i think there is still a negative perception of gambling maybe something to do with our movies and how billiards station are always the place where fights break out and hot-headed gangsters go to hang out at
i think it’s time the government should break this negative image of gambling and educate people about it
It maybe OK for kids if:
— the environment is kid friendly
— the game is good/safe for kids
— a game center or setting is well control for kids to prevent abuse or overuse
— the kids are supervised by responsible parents, guardians or adults
— the kids are not allowed to gamble or take big risk
— if it's a financial bet (or something like that), it must be supervised by the responsible adults/parents/guardians. It's better for the bet amount to be from the supervisors or be paid for by the supervisors. And it should be amount of money they can afford to risk since winning is not certain for most people.

Let them play, maybe they'll become good athletes.
Well I do not think it is a bad thing for kids to learn to play sports games like billiards. They can play it and only for fun not to gamble with it. It is just like a kid that is playing darts or something else.
My nephew does have a mini pool table and he does play this game. I do think that is ok it helps for him to become a competitive young man. But I will not allow my nephew to go play this game in a bar.

If such criteria are applied, then any game is gambling, because any game can have a provided by prize for winning, and other viewers can bet on the winner. For children, playing billiards will help develop skills such as eye and concentration.
There is no problem with this sport, because I also see here at the billiards place so many children playing, there is also listening to talk about gambling, it is better to avoid or separate the pool table rather than being closer together.
Yeah of course listening to betting conversations is not really allowed near children, but you have to be aware of the adults who are doing this so as not to show that they are betting.

Any type of game can be used for gambling; what matters is who is playing and the intention of those who are playing it. Those children are learning or are already playing a game that they like or see their father play. They are doing it for recreational purposes only and not for anything else. what do you think? is it normal for kids to be at billiards places now or should they not be allowed there?
As long as they catch fun playing the game and they don't place bets to challenge each other, then I don't see anything wrong with it. The dad should just watch them closely. Anyway, where will a 5- to 10-year-old kid get money from to place bets with each other?
Kids usually play this in my locality, the only payment I know concerning this involves paying to play nothing else. It’s surprising people gamble with this sport, there’s no age limit playing some certain sport and we all know kids get involve in little bet not the casino gambling activity. I meant betting for an exchange maybe carrying out an activity or competition, I know of a common game kids play in my locality which involves betting although this is a wrong turn kids should never bet at a young age else they grow up with a negativity mindset gambling and it might destroy their thought starting bet at a young age.
They still need guidance when it comes to this matter. As much as possible, before you let your kid visit a shop or place like that, you need to talk with them because gambling is surely involve in that kind of activity. They should know what they are getting into. Because if you talk with them openly, they may ask things that you will find out that they really need some type of parental guidance.
Actually, if Im not mistaken, billiards is an officially recognized sport. It is played in tournaments all over the world, and its even been featured in the Olympics. So, maybe the guy brings his kids to practice so they can become better players and win tournaments. Similar to how other parents bring their kids to practice soccer or some other sport.
Not all billiards places are gambling dens. Many billiards halls are family-friendly places where people can enjoy the game

There is nothing wrong with kids playing billiard, I even consider it a great activity for children since it demands some level of concentration and strategic thinking from the children, the sport would develop their brains. If you are concerned about these kids listening to conversations about gambling, it is your duty as an adult to let them know that they can only place bets on that activity once they become adults. Don't think that these kids don't know that people gamble, smoke, and take alcohol. But they wouldn't try to do that because adults are are there to caution and stop them from doing things they are too young for.i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

Allow the children to play, they would grow to be professional players. When the time comes for them to start placing bets, no one would stop them.

There’s definitely a negative stigma when it comes to gambling. Because for some reasons, it is seen as a sport that is generally played by gamblers or just people who are irresponsible. Might have to do with the fact that a lot of highschool students go skip class to play billiards. Maybe that’s why.But at the end of the day, it’s still just a sport. An indoor one, yes. But a sport nonetheless and a billiards place is a place for social interaction and entertainment.

Kids at billiards place is a norms and I consider it as a sport also just like every other one people want to participate and play in. Kids always have a way they get themselves involved in happenings around and they can’t tell which is good or bad to do at that time. A place where placing bets and winning games on sports is been discussed should not be a place where kids should hang around with or see people discussing it in their present.
The shop owner is suppose to regulate that but he may miss that part and kids may continue to fall victim of such act without them knowing that they’re getting themselves involved into something that when not curtail at young age will have effect on them when they grow up. Kids today knows what money is and when they get acquainted with discussions like that is such a place, they’ll want to try it out and that’s where the problem begins.

On no premise, under any circumstance should a child below 18 be seen doing whatever in a casino house. I mean, that's the rules but people have allowed their kids to outgrow them and yunno what? It'll cost them their lives and resources when the kid holds on solid to that path. We're not supposed to be advising other parents on how to train their kids, especially when as a stranger, you're not allowed to scold a kid for misbehaving.Quote
[...] so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting.
might? It sounds more hilarious that y'all have no clue how sharp a kid's wit is; the level of assimilation is double the average person as they learn both from what they see, hear and touch. If it has gotten to a point that they participate in those games/ help in selection, they sure know exactly how it works. Too late!

Not really in my opinion. In the country where I live I have been told that back in some years ago you could not enter a billiard pool bar before you could be 18 and that was a nice law in my opinion, now though it is same shit everywhere they let kids go in such environments without caring much and that is a bad thing for his formation as an adult. Normally he will think that this type of life is better than that of his friends he has at school or pre school in such age as in here. Betting of course happens a lot as everywhere we know that type of billiard game with the motto who ever loses pay the game and from there it can start and form even a further desire for more not so obvious things for kids of such age. This of course in my opinion has to be stopped and enforced by the governments.

Children actually act like they knows nothing or are not paying attention on adults conversations but then behind back they practices all that being talked about of the adults.
So adults or gamblers should be mindful about the nature of discussions around kids.
Moreso, children should not be allowed to assume gambling arenas for playing grounds neither should adults be careless to display gambling activities within the occupants or kids.
Well, I am very familiar with the game in question, we actually have a spot here in my area where some day, mostly in the evening, guys gather to play this game, in the process, alot of gambling and betting is done for sure, and never a time have I seen kids allows access to that area when ever any serious game is happening, because like I said in my previous comment, they cause distractions.So adults or gamblers should be mindful about the nature of discussions around kids.
Moreso, children should not be allowed to assume gambling arenas for playing grounds neither should adults be careless to display gambling activities within the occupants or kids.
But on normal days when there isnt any game happening there, I sometime see children playing around and having fun with the game.
You are right anyway, discussions related to gambling should be done on the presence of kids, neither should they be allowed to be present when physical gambling or betting activities is going on, since this could install wrong cravings into their little brain.

ON a general view, playing billiards is not what is bad for the kids to do, its a form of being entertained as well as a body exercise, then back to your experience on how you saw the kids, you mentioned that they were playing billiards and these kids are the children to the owner, you cant say if they are playing to get themselves acquainted with their fathers business or they are just playing to know about the game and get entertained, or even if they are doping so to bet and gamble it, but i will only assume they are doing this for the purpose of playing and having fun in their fathers business, which is not something bad, not even the game itself, there is nothing bad in playing billiards by both the adult and children.
People don't realize how fast kids pick up habits especially kids of this generation... Kids are not supposed to be in such environment where people gamble. Talking about how old they are is another thing, they have fragile minds and seeing such at a very tender can start influencing how they think..The parents can do better than that , it's better to drop off the kids somewhere else before thinking of coming to their place of business..some people are careless about somethings because they think that these little things don't mean anything.. children are quick to learn be careful what you expose them to.
I believe that in all current sports, betting is included, so billiards cannot be underestimated as a sport. So, that atmosphere is the least of my concerns. Referring to billiards itself, this is more about the type of place. If alcoholic beverages are sold and the type of customers who attend there is what would really worry me as such, and not the game.
Of course, the issue of gambling addiction is latent, but we see that even at home with online video games. The solution is to know how to talk to our children and educate them constantly about it.

Most billiards places I’ve been to won’t even let you in if you are under 18. There are of course exceptions. Like at a family restaurant that just happens to have pool tables and dart boards… That isn’t really the same as a pool hall with drinking and smoking everywhere. So I’d say it depends on the setting and atmosphere.
I have seen some people who have bets through an Billiard it usually PvP matches which mean who is the winner will gets all of the money so although Billiard is a sport but sometimes people are playing this sport to gamble and if you were found Billiard places liked this i think kids shouldn't be there and the parents too should be attempts to keep their children away from the places like this because potentially the kids will watching the matches and eventually they too will do the same thing but if at your environment has billiard places that are only used for fun then i think the kids would be fine to be there
it depends really, I mean, if there are always people gambling at the billiard place all the time then perhaps kids should not be allowed but from my personal experience, people gambling at billiard places usually happens at night and rarely in the daytime so if that is the case kids being on billiard place should not be a problem.
just want to add that Efren Reyes, one of the greatest billiard players of all time grew up playing billiards, perhaps those kids can develop their skills in billiards and make a career out of it, billiard is a sport after all.

Why not. I have two kids boys in fact, 6 and 8 years old and bought them 36 inch wooden-made mini pool table set, Both of them are happy and play a few rounds literally every day. Even I myself play with them sometimes. When I took them with me to show professional playing at billiard pool their delight was without any limit. Thus I think we should treat kids billiard interest with respect.
Exactly that, why not? It's billiard, why do people connect every game with gambling... Even better if your kid has an interest in billiard, it's one of the cool games, and those who start from an early age can master the game. Of course, if they practice regularly & and have someone to teach them a few tricks.
Kids are not aliens... we need to treat them with respect. My kids are younger, they are still small and I haven't taken them to billiards, but when they grow a little, I will for sure. What I want to say is that every parent has opportunities and decides for themselves when it's time to introduce their child to something... and as they grow, there are more and more new things, and it's better for us to show them the right way than for them to learn from someone else or to learn it the wrong way.

Kids will still grow up to become men, while the girl child will grow up to become a woman, I see nothing wrong with children being around places where such game as you mentioned, or maybe other games as well like table tenis and so, are being played, the talk about player of this games participating in gambling is a different talk.i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

I believe that any time this game is being played by mature and serious people where betting is involved, this kids won't be allowed in there because they will cause distraction.
But when the table is free with no serious game ongoing, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children hanging around there and even trying the game themselves.

If the place doesn’t include gambling and people just play for fun then, Yes. But if it’s a place people gamble then I wouldn’t advice them to be seen there since they’ll most likely pick up the gambling habit from the place so it’s not okay to allow kids to play there.
as a father or a parent, there are environment and things you should never expose your children to even if you are working in such an environment. a lot of the children that are Beggers on the street only monitored their parents carrying them to beg and learned that act from that moment. even if the parents did not directly educate them on how to do such things, their inquisitive ability teaches them far more than you have told them yourself.
There are some games that have existed before people turn it to gambling or before kids will grow up to know that people can actually gamble with it. I have been playing dice since I was a kind because it is a very common game in my country among families and friends. I only knew that people can gamble with dice when I was in school. I mean to gamble with it among friends and people generally. I was older than 24 years old before I saw dice on a gambling site.
Most of us played games like dice as kids before we knew that it was a gambling game, we called it 'try your luck' ludo and whot games were also common then, we played the games for fun. It's ok to allow kids to play games that are not harmful to them, they will learn and have fun. Where there's a problem will be if kids are playing games in the midst of adults that are playing the same game and gambling on it. It won't be a good influence on them because they might want to practice what they see buy using money to gamble with one another at their early age. The conclusion for me is that inasmuch as kids are not playing billiard or any other games in a gambling environment that means that it's safe for them to do so.

Gambling can be found almost anywhere these days. People can be at a restaurant and bet on a game that might be on 1 of the television sets in the restaurant, pool halls, even just at a friend's house. All of these places are likely to have children around. Its just about educating your kids and not letting the streets educate them IMO. i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

Teach the youth, don't try to keep them in a corner and act like something just doesn't exist.

Many gambling games where just games until people turned it into something you do for the reward. When I was little some one of my neighbour would always show unseriousness when we are playing a card game called WHOT. Then when he is cautioned for not taking the game seriously, he would tell us that if we want him to take it seriously, we should put some wager. Usually, the wager would be small but something that motivates him to take it seriously. At the end of the day he'll win. And just like you, it wasn't until recently that this card game was digitalized and a wager is place or people play for monetary rewards.
Playing billiards as a kid isn't inherently wrong, but the environment and the people who gamble excessively can have a negative influence on the child.Negative influences on kids often start with their environment and the things they hear,so it's essential to keep a close eye on them.I once played Ludo with my little nephew, and he surprised me by saying the game was going to be a bet. When I asked him who had taught him to think that way, he told me it was his friend. This shows that even at a young age, peers can influence kids to develop a gambling mindset.If you own a billiard venue, you can establish a no-gambling rule to protect those kids who also go there to have fun,as the environment can be a contributing factor.
On a contrary, I believe that early exposure of kids to some of the most addictive ills in the society like gambling as well as other activities that are considered bad for reputation, can help them get to learn to avoid scenarios that will make them addicted or rely heavily on these activities to survive on a daily.
Those kids that get covered by the parents always, don't get much exposure to such things as what gambling or billiards is, may tend to find it so much more pleasurable to indulge in during their adult years, thus leading to more cases of addictions and irresponsibility among older folks.
A controlled environment under parental supervision or a guardian who is responsible enough, in any environment at all, can help reinforce good behaviors that will help the kids navigate adulthood better.

Some poor third world countries citizens have no regulatory compliance because of the level of corruption and poverty within the society so individuals do and act in a lawless way and do anything to make money there is underage engagement in so many adult tasks and activities, as long as the kid can fight to survival the ugly environment the parent careless, but in at that we can never fail to condemn any child abuse in any form, so in my stand I kick against child involvement in gambling activities be it as the CEO or just an agent, and not only gambling alone but every other activities that have age clues to it should be kept away from children. i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

It's a sport, not specifically for gambling so if a kid should be participating in any sports activities as early as possible then the situation here is same too. Probably the environment like it's usually inside a bar these bets happens so irrespective of game, a kid inside a bar is not the appropriate and the parent is showing the sign of ignorance towards their responsibility if it happens.
If this billiards place is where gamblers keep going, then I shouldn’t recommend this kind of place for young ages. Simply because, they will be exposed to gambling earlier, and would think thereafter that gambling is an easy way to make money.
However, if this is just made for pure leisure and recreation, I don’t see any problem with that. There are a lot of kids who want to learn billiard and develop their skills later on. In fact, this could be a great help for them so they can be more sports minded rather than spending most of their time on their android phones and play.

Already we knows the implications that surround kids going around gambling environments or involve showing themselves around their casinos as their parents owns it. I think there has been lots of discussion about children around casinos and how they shouldn't be allowed to move round within the environment where they are gambling, and yes, it's something unavoidable because we know kids knows lot of things and even though we decides to hide things from them we can't stop from doing it when they have their own space or even when they aren't within our noticed they can still get involved.

Billiards is just a sport and there is nothing criminal about the fact that there are children there, I have seen fathers with children there several times and I did not even have the thought that this could be a bad example for them. Billiard rooms are different, there are those where they drink alcohol, smoke and place bets, and there are those where families come. In this case, everything depends only on the parents and where they bring their children. i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

They can play billiards in that place. They will not trying to gambling who will be the winner unless they have that intention before they go to in that place. We even don't know what their reason to play billiards and we may think that they have the same intention like adult people who want to spends their free time. But I guess that is not usual if those young boys play billiards because most young boys will do other things with their friends. You can watch them play to know what they talks so you will know what is their reason to play billiards with their friends.

For me I don't see anything wrong if they are playing billiards game. If they are playing it for fun then there is no problem, but it becomes a problem when they start betting with it. Although there is a high chance of getting used to playing billiards for money i.e (betting) because playing such game in billiards place where guys often gamble with it may trigger them to follow suit. Except they have self control or being monitored by there parents, otherwise they might pretend not to gamble with it in front of their father, and bet when their father is not around or they might learn it and gamble with it outside. i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

Hmm, it's just billiards, I think it's fine? Billiards itself is an interesting activity anyway and tying it down with gambling is personally a, well, personal decision, not really a "natural" type of thing, unlike poker and dice which is almost always 100% associated with gambling. And who knows? The kids may have some skill for billiards. While it is a niche sport, there are highlights sometimes that get revealed to the world that just make people go wtf most of the time, like the magician for example.

Even here in my country this game is really popular and I guess its the management or the owner will be accountable with this part because they are the one who must check with their clients, there are really stubborn kids really want to disobey the rules of their players could be peer pressure or base on themselves so they would like to explore but as long as they aren't addicted in playing billiards with bet I guess personally they still can freely play, still this is we considered as a sports so nothing wrong but still must need to consider the age limit by the owner. As for their safety too in that age they must be still in school.

I don`t see problem here. Billiard is a wonderful game and it would be nice if the kids will play good. The same time, i don`t think that they play with the bets. And as i know about my city - just few percent play for money, the main part play for free or with some symbolic bet - $1-2, just for interest. i am talking 5-7 years olds both boys already holding billiards cue there’s this association between gambling and billiards because usually the players bet and whoever wins the game wins the bet as well so the kids might be hearing these conversations about betting

PS. When i was a kid, we played football with bets but i don`t think that we must prohibit football. Also, i can`t name even one our player, who became gambling addict.
It's a sport, don't think about the betting side of it yet.
I just bought my kids a mini billiard table and I never heard them bet about anything. Now, if they playing against the owner, it's up to that person if he is evil enough to bet against the kids. Now, if he just wants them to play and enjoy billiards then there's no problem at all.
Again, let's not forget this is a good sport and it can be played indoor. I bought it so that my kids would avoid using their phones because it's like 24/7 their eyes are glued into it.
I am a traditional father, I want them to feel the competitive spirit of sports.

Well, if they are doing it for fun i don't see what's the problem, when i was a child i used to bet at school, we bet the FIFA and Pokemon cards, the game was simple, flip the card and you win it. And there was other kind of betting games like marbles, the winner kept the loser's marbles.
I mean, kids doesn't bet for profit, they bet for toys and that makes the game funnier, i don't see anything wrong with this.

I don't know if in your country billiards is considered a sport or is it more heavily linked to gambling, I have often seen children aged 7 years and over taking part in billiards tournaments, At my place the children playing billiards are supervised by a committee or an adult, regardless of whether they are gambling/placing bets there or not.Apart from billiards, there is also a chess tournament which is specifically for children aged 7 years and over, it is also supervised, whether those you see are supervised by their parents or run by themselves, but if we talk about the environment basically I haven't seen children go to the pool hall andplay there, unless there is a parent supervising him, because as far as I know, those who are adults are allowed to enter the billiard hall, perhaps other areas have billiard rules in other areas.
But if the kid goes alone to the pool hall and some people place bets there, it's clear that's not where he should be.
Billiard is considered more of a sport or recreational activity, rather than seen as a gambling game. However, since some players find it boring without money wagering, then here comes gambling. When that happens, then it wouldn’t be safe or appropriate place for kids anymore. These kids will be exposed to such noise and different gamblers behaviors, which isn’t appropriate at their young age. And one more thing, usually these billiards players are also smoking, so it’s certainly unsafe for kids and minors health.

Other children are likely not allowed there but these children were permitted to be in this place that is inappropriate for them simply because they are the children of the owners. It is an Inappropriate environment for a child to be in but the owner is completely ignorant about this because even though their intention is to babysit most likely their children and keep them close they are not doing them a good thing by exposing them to this gambling environment especially from that very young age.Even if it is the intention of the owner to have his children around his workplace, he can have an area in this his gambling setup organized especially for children away from the gambling environment so that the children do not get exposed to gambling equipment from curiosity. So instead of the children occupying a billiard board they should have a separate special room where they can stay safely.
Billiards is not a gambling game. I played it quite a lot a long time ago, because there was a billiard table (in the recreation room) where I worked. Well, you know, some organizations have tennis tables, but we had billiards there. It's a very interesting game. There is no randomness there, there is the only skill. So there's nothing wrong with this game, and by the way, billiards can help children better understand physics, motion vectors, and even the laws of reflection.
By the way, there was a crisis in the country's economy at that time, and it was difficult to even buy a new cue. So we put these soft plastic (probably polyethylene) wine corks on the old cues and played like that. Or they were corks from some kind of alcohol-based medicine that was also drunk.. This immediately complicated the game, but it protected the cues from bad players, so that they would not tear the cloth on the table and generally not break the tip of the cue so much. After several months of playing with such a cue, I came on vacation, and there is a billiard room. Well, with a regular cue after the one with the cork, it's so easy to play that I rolled almost all the balls in a row into the pockets, I still remember.

This issue is a little bit complicated to me since these children can learn skills staying around the environment. While growing up, it is common to see children hang around table tennis boards where gambling also takes place. I usually go to these places and that was how I learned how to play table tennis. Although it exposed me to gambling I didn't I started gambling.
I am an advocate of non-exposure of children because they are easily hooked on it. That's why I am against gambling advertisements close to schools where the underaged are. I suggest that these children shouldn't be allowed to see these gambling activities. Maybe they could have a separate billiard where their age mates can play.

We have a lot of billiard halls in our country, and we consider it a sport because its included in our regional Olympics. As long as the parents are there and they are guiding their kids, I don't see anything wrong here. billiard is not an easy game; its takes a lot of years to hone and perfect your shot, and maybe the parents are preparing their kids that early and they start by getting familiar with the atmosphere.
As said above, billiards is just a game, even a sport. I fondly remember myself playing with my dad when I was a child; he wasn't very good at it, but it didn't matter, those were really good moments that I miss 
(we get older).
If the environment in the pool is good, then I don't think it has anything negative to let children play. But we all know locals where illegal competitions take place, and children should avoid the contact with these circles because they learn what they see.

There are some games that have existed before people turn it to gambling or before kids will grow up to know that people can actually gamble with it. I have been playing dice since I was a kind because it is a very common game in my country among families and friends. I only knew that people can gamble with dice when I was in school. I mean to gamble with it among friends and people generally. I was older than 24 years old before I saw dice on a gambling site.
Billiard is considered a sport, I don't think there is something wrong with that. Them starting early I sport makes them better at it. There professional billard players who started playing when they are yet kids.
I am assuming people are gambling in this sports too. But then the sports like they said is for entertainment and teaches these kids sportsmanship.

If the place doesn’t include gambling and people just play for fun then, Yes. But if it’s a place people gamble then I wouldn’t advice them to be seen there since they’ll most likely pick up the gambling habit from the place so it’s not okay to allow kids to play there.
I generally don’t have any problem with kids playing billiards the only issue is when you start mixing them with those that bet things; when the kids see that there could win something if they bet they might be tempted to try it out themselves and that’s how gambling starts.
