Topic: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles - page 10. (Read 1118 times)

I don't think there will be any age constraints if that individual is still capable of being 16+ n 18+ to be competent and responsible for life. I find the case that the OP mentioned to be quite normal because the old men near the area where I live still have the habit of playing lottery tickets. We cannot impose opinions on anyone about how they should live, as long as it is within a framework suitable to the law as well as life circumstances, so that they are responsible for their actions.

True freedom in every decision, my grandfather (passed away) was also the owner of a gambling group and his children never forced him to stop, as long as everyone felt comfortable. I still remember the days when I was a child and was taken to breakfast with the money my grandfather had won from bets. It's not a story about earning extra income, but it brings joyful experiences in life which we don't always have the opportunity to enjoy again.

No specific age is required to quite gambling. If you are okay with the activity, that you are not becoming a burden to your family (assuming that you are just recieving your pension and that is the money you are using at age 70) then I think it will just be fine. The age when we should stop gambling is when we are being toxic about it and when we are getting addicted to it; borrowing money and being in huge debt, selling properties, not having enough sleep and appetite due to losses and stress, and the likes. That is the only time where you should know stopping will help you no matter how old or young you are.

For sure we are all aware of this; older people has more time engaging to activities given that by that time they are mostly not spending time working so what they should do to ease their boredom? We cannot order them to play Basketball and the likes if they are not into it (kidding aside). Gambling is just one of the activities which is entertaining as we all know given that we are here still at this age.Some people retire from gambling at age of 40 or as early as 25 and there's nothing wrong with it. What's bad is not knowing to yourself when to stop.

Based on my observation, typically senior citizens gamble most of the time since they do not have anything left to do.

For example, the grandparents of my girlfriend generally gamble at least 3-5 times a week. They typically play slots and bet relatively low amounts of money. Sometimes, they come home with a profit of around $40-$50 and they call it a day. But there were days where they would lose $60 and they will channel their hatred to everyone.


I think this really depends on your goal as a gambler.

When a person sees gambling as a form of profit, then retirement depends on whether they are satisfied with their winnings or not. This is potentially dangerous as this really depends on their judgement in their own perspective.

On the other hand, if a person sees gambling as a form of entertainment, there is typically a certain point where you get tired and bored of gambling. This is natural as there is a graph in economics that can explain this further.

But looking at many facts, many seniors over 50 years old do gambling smoothly and use their pension money.
In fact, they are too addicted to just gamble.

Usually those who still do gambling until old age because they are used to gambling when it is still easy and continues without the age limit.
But what will be a problem is their mental ability which will certainly decrease and the money used is pension money that should be used for their lives.

If you really can't leave gambling, there must be a gambling limit, a limit on how much gambling funds will be used.
Gambling is not good in old age, because there will be many risks.
It's better to rest and enjoy the rest of life with a good quality of life.

One man food is another man poison so for that,  the age that may seems right for Master A may not be on for Mr B and that is the reason why I may not be able to give you a straight-up answer to the question but that has been said.

If one is gambling for fun,  then there may not be an age limit to gambling for such a person as long as he keeps up with the fun aspect and doesn't lose motivation.

But for those who are addicted or gambling for profits,  it is better to quite as soon as possible since we already know the result of such mindset and conditions.

When you've lived a pretty full life and you're already at the final years of your existence, you tend to do things you otherwise wouldn't have done if you still have time in the planet. Retirement oftentimes bring out the most deranged and reckless versions of ourselves simply because we've been living our lives precariously all these years and it's this page in our lives where we're expected to go a little all out. In that regard I think it's pretty common for people in the retired age bracket to actually be gambling more than they are supposed to, especially if they don't have any other running responsibilities like kids to feed or mortgages to pay. When you have that much money lying around and less expenses to stress yourself about the only thing you'll have in your mind is rest and relaxation, but you can't unwind as hard as you could when you're still younger cause your bones aren't as strong as then and you're also prone to getting diseases now that your immune system's fucked up. That's why old people resort to gambling instead. It's a way for them to still have fun and be able to spend the money that they want to spend without putting them into harm's way or whatever. And I think the more people get older the more they become more accepting of gambling.

At the end of the day this is just an inference on my end but based on what I have observed from parents and older relatives I can pretty much say with comparable certainty that this is how the way things go for older people.

You can't guess at what age someone will retire from the gambling activities they usually do, many also stop gambling until they die, but many also retire from gambling at a very young age ^{(under 40 years)}, i think the reason is that people there are different types of retirement from gambling, some because their partner forbids them, because their financial condition worsens, because they become more familiar with religion, because they experience an illness and because they really intend to stop.  gambling will always have a strong attraction, it is even difficult for people to get away from gambling, it's all because of the money they can get when gambling, apart from that, don't ever think that gambling is one of the things that can give you fast money, many gambling addicts have thoughts like this about gambling.

There's no age limit, 2 days ago I went into a land base casinos and I see some commotion, it turns out that an old lady might have fallen down. She has a walking stick by the way, but maybe due to her age, she could stumbled or something.

But the point is that even at that age, at that disability, she still continue to play and enjoy just like the rest of us. So as long as you can play, have the money and have someone in your side if you go to landbase casinos or have guide or even nurses to accompany you, then you can play till the rest of your natural life.

Some related threads:

• What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ?
• Will you gamble till old age or not

I know that quiting in gambling doesn't have measurements and it will be good and understanding that we gamble to the extent of gambling without knowing when we are going to retire or not, so gambling is all about personal decision but as a gambler we suppose to have a particular time to leave gambling because anything you are doing and you have done the thing for more than thirty years then you are not supposed to continue the thing again, gambling is not good at old age because nothing that you win gambling that you will utililize the funds at such age.

I think old men and women are wiser than young people. There is nothing that they have not seen. They have learned a lot in life. A gambler that later become old and still in earth, such a gambler would have known the right way to follow. It should not be about chasing money for them, but for them to turn the boring time to something interesting. I will not expect old men to risk like that. The bad gambling news that I have all seen and read before are all about young people and not old people.

Gambling can not be a medical advice.

I think there is no age limit for gambling, and as you said, as long as we have money then gambling can still be done.

For myself, I will end my gambling activities when I have many needs, such as my child's need to go to college or my wife's needs. I will not sacrifice my family's money to gamble, when the burden of my life increases, I will stop gambling activities and I think that is a strong reason for me to stop gambling.

For the shake of health and the disappointment of losing a game, especially on sports betting, where someone can predict multiple games and add them up in one slip, and at the end of the game, 1-2 games are the ones that will make you lose a game worth millions. I don't think someone of such age could be able to handle the shock that can affect his health. 
 
Unless it's part of the medical advice given to him as a means to have fun, as it has been one of his usual activities at his youthful age, I might be against it. Instead,  I will rather advise any one of such age to play draft in the community with their fellow elders and argue that it's less disappointing than what gambling losses bring most of the time.

It is still okay for old men and even women to gamble if their health still allows them to. If an old man who has health problem is still gambling then he is just putting himself at risk bringing that closer to himself but if an old man is gambling for fun and sees gambling as a form of relaxation then that is still good because at his age he needs a lot of relaxation so that he does not develop high blood pressure due to stress, tension and over thinking. Do not forget that gambling is also for fun, and at an old age, some old men are not even concerned with how to make more money, they just want to have fun.

If I can still make use of my two legs, I can still see clearly with my eyes, and I have enough money to spend aside from what I'm using to keep a healthy life, what then will stop me from gambling? There is no age limit for when someone needs to stop gambling. If you know you are fit enough, then you are good to go, be it in the 70s or 80s. If you can still do it, then you can.
 
But as an advanced man, the level to which he should gamble should probably be limited, as he has other things that he should focus on at that age rather than spending that time in a traditional gambling shop.

There's no such thing about right time on quitting gambling as long you do make yourself that responsible and mindful about your finances.You can deal with it for the rest of your life
as long you dont forget on making yourself having that control when it comes to your finances and just simply make out some bets or gambling just for fun then i dont see any reason
for someone to completely stop nor get rid of it. Age wont matter on which you would really be that able to gamble as you do like and make bets as you do like.
It is really just that on how you would really be making yourself that just fine with gambling, if you are seeing that it is really that greatly affecting you in terms of finances
then this is where you should consider on stopping.

that i can agree with. if you are gambling just to pass time and have some fun, then there's no retirement age in this activity. actually, this activity will make your mind active in thinking as you grow older. just don't go to the extent of borrowing from everyone around you. that i think, you need to contemplate in gambling if you have so many loans from anyone and you are in deep financial trouble.



that is actually the major reason why oldies are into this activity, a kill time for them because they have nothing to do anymore. so long they know their limits, i believe there's nothing wrong doing this activity for as long as they like.

This will depend on the contentment of the gambler as we can see, even old people still into gambling and some consider this as their kill time since they don't have anything to do and most of them prefer to gamble more. Personally, I can't tell when I will stop to gamble since I'm just an occasional gambler and didn't have much expectation in gambling that's why I can stop gambling anytime, this is not a big deal for me.

It's personal interest, strength, and the right knowledge that determine when one should stop. For example, if I am at the age of 80 and I can still strongly move around and think properly, I can still gamble if I want to. My grandad was still gambling even at the age of 60+ (although I can't remember accurately, but I know he was still gambling till he got to 70 years).

@OP, it depends on the interest of the gambler. He or she will decide when they want to stop gambling. Some old people did not stop gambling at self-will but maybe due to some external facts like illnesses (health issues) or their children discouraged them.

It is not bad to continue gambling until you die or until you are unable to have your brain functioning properly because of old age. An old man that still have fun while gambling should continue to have the fun if he is not wasting money on it, so far it is just little amount of money and having fun with it.

One day I saw an old man of seventy [70] years old in gambling center were we bet for soccer predictions gambling bet, and I interviewed the old man that his age that why is it gambling up this age, and many people who don't know me was like wondering why I interviewed the man and some said why I mine questioning the man that gambling is a game of personal interest.so what I to ask a gambler is that what age should someone who is a gambler supposed to reach before the person retire in gambling or is it advisable for someone to continue to gamble until death separate us with gambling.

As a gambler what do you think that should be the right time we suppose to leave gambling weather we are making profits or we are not making profits with gambling, because I know quite well that gambling whenever you are making profits you will wish to continue gambling unless that you run out of cash.
