Topic: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles (Read 1118 times)

Isn't it annoying that we need to interview and ask anyone why they still gambled at his age?

It's out of our business anymore even if you don't have any bad intention of asking that. The old guy might just be enjoying his life to the fullest as maybe he's used to gambling during his prime days. There's no right age to stop gambling.

As long as the gambler is a responsible person in gambling, they can continue regardless of their age, until their inner self shows no interest anymore in gambling or is no longer capable anymore to do gambling.

I think so. It could be because of personal reasons, money matters or just wanting a change. Knowing when to quit gambling is a personal call. If it's messing with your finances or making life stressful, it might be time to take a step back. Keep an eye on your well-being like if it's not fun anymore, rethink things. Setting limits and sticking to them helps and remember that gambling is not a surefire moneymaker

Yes, that's true because once a person wins, he will imagine how it would feel if he could win once again an even bigger amount of money. It would be fun for him because he could earn even more money. They will not really stop gambling and leave gambling forever because they have experienced getting a big win so there is a desire to gamble again to get an even bigger win. But in reality, they will still find it difficult to win again.

Those who can win millions in gambling and can set up a business and grow it bigger should no longer need to think about gambling because they can already make money from their business. Maybe he can go back to gambling, but there is no need to use a lot of money because, at that time, they should be able to think of gambling as entertainment and not to make money. They must realize that it will be difficult for them to win millions more from gambling so they should focus on their business and think about how to grow their business even bigger.

People need to determine when they can retire from gambling so that when they decide actually to retire from gambling, they don't do it by force but because they are aware that they no longer need to gamble. But only a few can have such awareness, while others still try to gamble to win a lot of money. Indeed, leaving gambling forever requires strong effort because of the pleasure they get from gambling, so they still want to return to gambling after stopping for a while. There is a desire to repeat the times when they could get that pleasure and they want to know if anything has changed about gambling so that they end up going back to gambling again.

I don`t think that there is any amount of winning that can propel a gambler to stop gambling. The more you win, the more you want to continue playing to win even more. This is common among gamblers. Even when people lose continuously they continue gambling so how much more when they are winning? They will continue.

Many who won millions in gambling usually set up businesses as you have mentioned but that didn`t stop them from gambling. Gambling has been made in such a way that you can lie on your bed and gamble and so this ease of assessment has also made it difficult for people to stop gambling. I can make a pronouncement that I will not gamble again but then it takes very little thing to take me back to gambling especially when I remember the good old days.

I don`t advocate that people should stop gambling or retire at a certain age because the reason we gamble differs from individual to individual regardless of age. Some have fun through it, Some try to make mega money through it, and others use it even as a coping mechanism. So, if the old person is gambling for a justified reason we can only hope he gambles responsibly and controls his emotions because at that age they are easily prone to high blood pressure and his inability to control and guide his losses might result in that.

I think so too, but some might want to stop gamble when they get to some ages they keep in their mind some 80 or 90.
When an old person is gambling online or offline the children can want to stop the person from gambling because they will think his stressing him self, mostly when the gambler is a local gamblers that gamble offline. The kind of family the gamblers have will determine whether he will continue to gamble at some point or not, other family members will prefer not stopping him but some will.

Gambling is a passion, and as long as you do it correctly, you should keep doing it; age is irrelevant as long as you enjoy it and know what you're doing. Most people believe that only those with unstable finances gamble, which is wrong; no one gambles more than wealthy individuals.

Personally, I gamble for fun, not because my finances or life depend on it, therefore I see no reason why I shouldn't play till I'm elderly as long as I have access to it. Anyone who relies on gambling, whether young or elderly, is making a big mistake.

That is the ideal, we as people who , in reality , because of the circumstances, many of us cannot live on what they call retirement or live well even though we are professionals, because in the lives of many of us those who have studied, well, professionals They are not well paid and also the professionals who are in other countries perhaps have a different way of seeing things in their different way of life , I see other Countries like Europe that are very good with our Salaries And yes, you are Encouraged to Offer your People a good Retirement plan in the Future , but not everyone has the same luck, sometimes you have to take risks that in your youth or when you might be saving because it is not possible now, For example, in my case, I Know many things , because I am an Electrical Engineer , and I know a lot About Control and Automation, PLC, and Everything that has to do with Electronics , with comprehensible Wxperience with medical Equipment in its Installation and Repair , but even Now things are not easy Because when you Ask for a job in Europe just Because I´m Latino, they don't see you as an option.

In the Latin countries it is very Difficult to get a Good , Respectable job , it is not like tha t, things are very different, things are harder, so when you know even more than the Same Europeans in certain branches they do not Take you into Consideration nor do they even Consider the opportunity of I'll tell you to see how it goes, no, then things only happen for those who live and are natives of those countries, that's all I'm Referring to, I mean, you have to work not just to live day to day , but to be able to offer better opportunities for a good life for a family, and try to look for jobs where you are very lucky and they take you and can trust in what can be Contributed , that is what I mean by this, so it is not like many think, it is much more difficult for some.

Wise people would make sure they have a financially stable old age for which they will work very hard when they are young and keep saving money or creating assets for their future so that they don't need to worry about finances when they grow old. Such people would have no issues with whatever they want to do because they will have funds available when they are retired and they can use that money to do anything that gives them pleasure.

People who don't save money when they can or do anything for their future but instead take loans and have a lot of debt by the time they need to retire will surely have a hard time when they are old because they can't work the same way when you are old which is why it's essential to make your young days work.

Gambling has no age limit and whosoever that choses to play gamble should play in respective of the age. Sometimes the older you become the more it becomes fun to you. Some might not necessarily be playing the gamble but always watching football. But if it's playing of gamble I sudjest the age for calling it a quit should be around 55yeqrs going to 60 but if he has the opportunity to play and win big at early age I think he should have stop then.

Depending on the gambler the older person has much less control. While the time-consuming activity can become addictive at times it doesn't take long to run out of cash. Gambling should not continue for many people in old age as they suffer from insecurity and spend their days in financial straits. Find other ways to spend your free time where there is no addiction and secure money that will be used during your free time you can easily enjoy entertainment.

That means it depends on each gambler because if a gambler can win a lot of money from gambling, they can choose to retire from gambling and enjoy the money and use it to open a business that can provide passive income for them. But not many can get something like that because most of them will lose their money and many will end up bankrupt. They can't retire from gambling but they can stop gambling even though they haven't been able to make a lot of money. They stop gambling because of the impact of becoming addicted to gambling if they continue their gambling activities so stopping gambling would be the best way.

Gamblers don't ever quit, even if they make all the money in the world they will still always come back, its like a disease that refuse to let go from their skin, and this is the only problem I have with gambling, to quit is a a tug of war unless you are not into gambling before, and you have experience of people that lost everything in gambling.

Their past bad experience can make you a responsible gambler and you will know how to take risks in gambling, those telling you that the higher amount you risk the better are not helping you, either you are winning or not you must keep using what you can afford to lose.

I would rather miss my luck in gambling when I quit that let my whole life be build for gambling only, the biggest problems in gambling are on those who want the best results in gambling, I would rather have some result from business and running a company.

Sometimes luck comes to us too late when we already thinking about quitting and when we are desperate, sometimes when we are almost empty. But we never have to think of a situation like this because most of the time it never comes. Good thing you have recovered some at least your patience and controlling emotions have paid off. Gambling is stressful when we are chasing winnings and the usual reason why we lose more. Most of the time we increase our best thinking we will win the next round but most of the time we fail. And it was not a healthy gambling practice anymore, instead had some limitations and stick on rather than feel regret after.

Not all retired players have enough capital to feel secure, more often than not, they don't even have enough pension to cover all their needs. And if they had enough money, they would not think about making money through gambling, it would be entertainment. The most important thing is that they do not worry too much during the game.

But speaking seriously, I don’t see any difference when a player plays, if he liked to do it before retirement, then he will continue to do it the same way in retirement, if it doesn’t harm him, then why not.

I agree. It's one way to please them and I think there's nothing wrong with that.
Regarding money, old people are good at managing them because of their experience. I don't think they will go as far as betting what they cannot afford to lose especially if they are only there to have some fun.
Perhaps, they will just bet small amount and try to prolong the game. That's the best way to waste more time on a boring day.
This is why we see a lot of old people in the Bingo houses. Why? Simply because they want to have a bit of fun while there's really nothing to do for the day. When we are old, perhaps we will understand that.
I've been in a bingo house before and I thought it was going to be boring, but actually, it was fun especially if you can win in just 1 round.
Why would you retire from gambling if it's simply a hobby? Right? Maybe those who made it their daily job or those who are addicted to it are the ones who should think about stopping because that will help their financial problems.

the fact that a person is aging doesn't mean he should stop doing the little thing that gives him joy. What makes an old person to continue living Long is those engagement that he involves himself in that keeps him going on.

Retirement doesn't mean one should stop doing anything at all, it means you should slow down and start doing things that aren't all that stressful to your health. To be honest, most aged people need gambling and other fun activity more than the younger one because they've passed the age of active service so they need environment like that were they can discuss with younger gamblers and share with them their experiences and probably give them good advice on how to go about with ethical gambling.

The moment you stop and older man that was ones a gambler from involving in the art just because of his age, you've obviously sent him to his early grave because he will feel that he is useless and in no time depression will come in and he will age faster than normal.  

There is no rule that gambling will always bring benefits, usually people win gambling based on experience. Usually when participating in a football game, it is possible to win based on experience, comparing the difference between the players of the two sides and betting on the team that performs better.

That's what many people dream of in retirement.
Play comfortably at home without thinking about any work, this is entertainment that will not make you bored.

But to achieve this, it needs to be financially good enough so that you no longer think about money for living expenses.
Having a good financial foundation will provide security in the future.

I don't see why not. I can imagine myself perfectly fine at retirement age and playing poker, although for me it's a side hustle. For even professional players I can also imagine it but with less frequency of play. In addition to a lesser frequency of play in face-to-face. But playing poker from time to time comfortably from time to time at home as an entertainment and earn extra money for sure.

I don't understand why old retired people can't gamble. The most important thing is that they do not get into debt, because they do not have enough time to pay them back. And it would be even more offensive to live the rest of your life, forced to work in a job you don’t like, paying off your debt. Often, old people cannot even get a hired job to pay off the debt and they will have to pay the debt from their pension. But if an older person manages their funds well and has an upper limit on how much they can spend on gaming per month, then I don't think gaming would be a problem for them. Games may well bring him pleasure. For many older people, life is quite sad.
