Topic: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles - page 4. (Read 1085 times)

Gambling doesnt know age and gender in the end as long as there is no awareness in oneself even though one is old, one will definitely still insist on gambling because after all even though this is not very ethical to do, but again gambling is one's own will so we cannot force others even though they are old not to gamble because indeed gamblers in the end all have the same nature, namely stubbornness (including me)

Even if we want to deny it, the reality is that we cannot deny it because it will be very difficult for us to be forced to stop gambling as well as them.
Not that I'm in favor of older people gambling because they should be relaxing in their later years but it goes back to the original context where gambling knows no gender and age.

That is something that depends on how the people see the game. Personally, what I can say about this is that the game, when one is winning, should not count the profits, that is, I am winning, I am still winning, but that is , as long as the bets are not made all in , or they are in a Period of doing things, with very big bets, because in the event that things are done, you will lose Quite a bit of money because it is harder to do it Personally, I have always said that when you are Winning and have a winning streak, it is very difficult to end a winning streak because we all want to Continue Winning, if we cut it, we can do it, but always and whenever We are not sure that the amounts that are handled are different, but I can say that when we are like this they can be Established, any type of event that is like this cannot be cut.

I have been in streaks of game systems where I have been winning, so these types of things are why we must do many things, for example when we are making any bet, personally what I do is the largest amount to withdraw and Second, what I do is take only a small part to bet, so I can only say that it is my best strategy, because I don't want to be left with nothing later, and that has happened to me and the feeling is not good, so stop To avoid those bad times, I consider that the best thing to do is always to be clear about our things with our money.

Without money we are basically nothing, for this reason every time we are in a casino we must maintain a plan, both for loss and profits, and the plan for profits is essential for me to continue walking but not with so much money, because It is very easy to lose it, and difficult, almost impossible to recover it, I would need to make more deposits and this would come out because it would comply with my regulations. All this is what should be avoided.

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.

Gambling can be a personal choice or decision, and it's important to consider various factors, including age and financial stability. some people may choose to retire at a certain age, while others might continue as long as they still enjoy gambling and can afford it responsibly. It's very important to have a balance and not let gambling regularly impact other areas of life. Gambling at old age is not advisable because it can cause health risks.

Alot of old men, and when I say old men, I mean really old like in their 80s and above do and still gambler here in my area, all that matters is that, the men in question are still fit and strong enough to walk around on their own without any aid, and can see properly too, and still have an active and working brain in order to the able to count and calculate properly.

Once all of this things I mentioned are in still intact in the life of a man, there is actually no retirement age when it comes to gambling, alot of old men, most especially in the rural areas gamble till they die, and the beautiful thing here is that, most of this old men do not gamble for the sake of making money, to them, gambling is a way for them to have fun and as well, meet, socialize and interact with the younger generation, just as it was with that old man op wrote about, he meet and had a interactive conversation with op, that is sometimes majorly their goal, and this is why if we notice, most old men who gamble don't gamble on online casinos, but would prefer to visits a physical casino directly because that is where they can meet and interact with real people.

As far as I know gamblers never retire, those who bet constantly and win most of the time are the ones who are seen in all subsequent cases and have fewer losses. They never like to retire, they want to gambling in new ways, to gain information and new experiences. Betting is a niche for many and many consider it a way or means to lead a professional life. So I think the important thing about betting is that no one ever retires, everyone wants to win and be successful till the end of their life.

Knowing the reason or purpose will make you consistent; tired of losing, have no more money to gamble, not being able to function on aa daily basis due to losses, and whatever reason that is. What's important is to have any.  If it is just having another activity to occupy your time then that would be easy however consistency won't be there. A reason adds weigh to the activity on why you are having a hard time to quit doing so. With gambling; the drive to earn money is the bottomline why many gamblers are hooked. For example are sports fanatics engaging to sports betting. They could just watch the game if it is only for their passion but why do they need to gamble? Most likely because of the possible profit in every winning bet they wil be having. Therefore if you aim to stop doing an activity, it should not only be the activity which should be replaced but also the motive, which should also be compensated. Personally, I think I would only be able to quit gambling once my loss became too huge that will put me in debt.
If you no longer have money to bet then you will be forced to stop and realize how bad things went. Well in some instances other gambling addicts are making their way to be able to bet but that I guess is another problem to resolve and another side to discuss. I know some people who retired from gambling due to circumstances and responsibilities; everything has a purpose and alternative task they will make use with their time.

I see young gamblers as very impatient. They want to secure the bag by all means including gambling so they lead an unhealthy and irresponsible gambling lifestyle. They do what I call, impulse gambling. Once the thought crosses their minds to gamble, they go ahead to do it. When they see their friends post or talk about gambling, it becomes the trigger for them to gamble. They think they can double their monies through gambling and keep the profit, so they go ahead to gamble. For the older adults who are more experienced and have seen it all, they have the money but not the time because they have sent the whole of their youth working hard to make money and now they see gambling as a way to spend the money and have a good time.

Am not a hard core gambler but I am certainly about one thing when it comes to gambling and gamblers which is they don't actually retire although they have something like resting period and that's when the loses keep coming then the gambler might decide to pause because even when the person hits a massive jackpot he might still likely continue gambling and maybe this time the stake might even be higher than the previous times because now the funds is available and if he lacks control it might even make him gamble more.

This is not something as professional as where a player could retire. People either gamble for or just for entertainment. When people retire from work, I guess they will have more time to spend with their family and gamble more than before if they are wealthy enough. Of course only if they take it as entertainment only. But there is an opposite side as well. If someone is not wealthy enough, people usually stay away from gambling because they know that the house always wins. They won't win always against the house. So, It depends on the person and his situation.

You sounds like gambling is useless because it only make someone to wasting their money.

There's no difference with take a vacation, shopping, hangout, visit zoo park, watching cinema, subscribing a product/service etc. Then your friends or someone else will say, don't too stingy, you need to reward yourself from every pennies you earn.

In my belief, there's no one in this world is busy everyday and don't have any free time.

It is true that they may gamble to find some way of entertainment but it should be within their limits. There are many elderly people who cannot easily bring everything under control then it becomes a serious problem for them. Old and young no matter what the age if it turns into addiction life will dawn in misery. That's why I think it's better to stop gambling during retirement. Apart from gambling there are many forms of entertainment to be found. An elderly person is physically and mentally very weak.

Yes, if it is for fun and reminiscing about the past then it is not serious problem but if you gamble to get other results such as certain amount of money then this is clearly mistake that must be avoided.
Moreover, I sure that those who are elderly will be more sentimental about outcomes that may be detrimental and of course self-control will never be able to be maintained when they carry out any gambling activity, it will be much more difficult to be able to solve problems like this.
What is quite difficult is that older people will feel that they have more experience and knowledge so that when there is suggestion they think that what they are doing is the right thing.
An elderly person should be able to spend their time better with their family and focus more on what can make them feel the warmth of love with their children and grandchildren.

Those who are of age like that kind of age that Op is referring and they are still not religious, they don't have a business retiring, they keep gambling as far as their health can carry them. Gambling doesn't really have retirement age just like you are doing your personal business or investment you keep going as far as the business remains active. Those who gamble don't look at the time of retirement, it is not a government job that you are restricted to work above certain age.

But some people change as they old and they begin to become religious so if they decide to leave the stage of gambling, that will not be regarded as retirement but a decision to stop gambling.

Very good idea to prevent addiction and stop gambling. The point is to keep ourselves busy until we really don't have time to touch the world of gambling again. It may be very difficult to refuse the brain's invitation to stop gambling because it has become a habit. However, over time you will definitely be able to leave the world of gambling completely and return to the real world and get a better income than just spending money on gambling.

Gaming - from horse racing to bingo - brings delight and community, especially to seniors. It allows socialisation and respite from the routine. Moderation is necessary with any good thing. Most seniors play within their bounds, which is fantastic. When the stakes go beyond a friendly game, we must support, not control

Monitoring is tough. Yes, financial security is important, but don't patronise. Wisdom doesn't retire, right? A senior with decades of experience can frequently best assess their activities. It's about educating and supporting them to make decisions. We want to keep the pleasure safe, not halt it

As long as you are gambling responsibly without addiction attached, there no fixed age for a gambler to retire, sure profit is not guaranteed in gambling but if people keep gambling and continue to win they will never quit or retire but what keeps a gambler going is the believe that he will win someday no matter the loss incurred so far, with what I know, a gambler does consider quitting as an option rather he sees every move as an opportunity to win, skipping a day without gambling can never come to play in a gamblers mind because of his expectation, in conclusion as I said earlier there is no age for retirement in gambling.

Let's face it, when one gets to a certain age they have very few activities they can engage themselves in..

and for someone at that age to be gambling its either they are doing it for pure fun and entertainment

or trying to help the family by hoping to win big and leave them with something they can inherit from him.

Tbh retiring from gambling depends on one's financial standing, mental health standing or simply if you still have the time to gamble depending on how one's schedule is..or all differs from one person to the other but I guess it's one way to keep yourself active and entertained...we just cant get one answer fits all!


Its easy to say stop gambling and what not, but do you also consider that these people get bored especially if they are sitting all day at home...honestly this isn't an easy discussion..otherwise if they can farm, engineer stuff at home then I don't expect them to be gambling as they are kept preoccupied with other activities.

If an old man still uses gambling in between their activities well and doesn't chase wins and only uses gambling to reminisce about their past, that's okay, and there won't be any serious problems for them. The thing to worry about is if they resort to excessive gambling because we don't know how well they can still control themselves. Maybe they can fall into gambling without anyone being able to help them and go home in a state of loss, which can trigger them to be angry or sad. It is better for an elderly person not to visit a casino without someone accompanying him because that could trigger him to gamble excessively.

Its true, right? Have fun at any age, and if gambling is your thing, great! I support personal freedom, especially in leisure time.

Its important to recognise the fine line between enjoyment and danger. I've seen hobbies become obsessions as a human behaviourist. Walking a tightrope is thrilling yet dangerous. You're right regarding finances. Gambling becomes unfun when it becomes a habit. The load is typically hidden until its too late.

This requires self-awareness and control. Recognising when a pastime harms you is admirable. As in any other area of life, gaming habits must be monitored. After all, retirement should be about fun and not stress and dependence.

The game can be a fun entertainment option for adults of any age. Many people like to go to horse races, others like to make rallies with colleagues at the office or dream about big lottery prizes. For seniors especially, a bingo hall or casino can be a great opportunity for socialization and a nice break from the routine of life.

The vast majority of older people play responsibly, but the hobby can certainly turn into a problem at any age. By the most basic definition, people with a gambling problem are those who risk more than they can afford to lose, and in the case of the elderly they often realize they are in trouble only when they start throwing away money for rent or everyday essential medicines. a-day.

I think there is no right age to stop playing, because an older person always needs to be "monitored" by someone responsible for them.
