When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?
For doing gambling what I follow first it is the fund, The fund as I afford to loose I play gambling on that fund. And for have on or more children if I have the same currrent income then I have to reduce my fund for gambling and it is obvious and I think I wil able to do that. Because I am not that kind of hardcore gambler or not a addicted gambler. But in case of addicted gambler the scenario kind of change.

Parenthood can change gambling habits because parents need to prioritize their family needs and budget. When having losses and you have children, it just not only affects you but also affects kids negatively and impacts the ability to provide for the family resulting in issues like mental health and family conflicts. If you are a parent, it's important to be cautious about the risk and family well being should always comes first.

If you are a wise parent, of course you will notice changes in your gambling habits when you have children. What I mean is that you will have to manage your gambling time and budget because you already have responsibilities to your family. Some of my gambling friends told me that they reduced their gambling budget to meet family needs. They can look for additional income if they want to increase their gambling budget. And that doesn't matter if you are not a gambling addict.
I do not know about gambling. But in trading, most traders are losing also just like gambling. Most traders that are married that were trading quit trading or reduce the money they are using to trade. I guess that is how gambling would be. But some people will just be different and be addicted, just like trading also and continue to gamble.
- When it comes to trading, what I know is that most of them actually lose, and in this matter or angle in a situation like this, it is the same with gambling here in the crypto business industry. But trading and gambling are not the same; the majority of our crypto community in this forum also knows this. Right?
But of course, it's a different matter when it comes to children's welfare, because as much as possible, we should not let them fall down at a young age. As much as possible, we should not show them this, even if gambling is a habit for us.

I don't have any children yet, but in the future, if I already have children, I don't really wanna limit them to what they want to do, for sure if they are still kids I wouldn't allow them to gamble at all at any time, because I believed that if they are exposed to this kind of things they might develop some kind of habit when they grow up that might not be the best for them. But probably at the right age around when they are already in high school, I think they could probably already decide for themselves self, for sure it might not be the best thing to let them do but for me, it's better to let them develop their financial management allowing them to save on their own, I would just give them enough money for them like in a week and then he could budget it on there own if he wanted to gamble it he can but I wouldn't support it financially. I just want him to realize that it is not easy to earn money, I do multiple jobs and side hustle and I can say that earning money is very difficult.

I have children but it doesn't change anything or put me on a tight budget. Whosoever that has love for gambling will not change their playing habit despite being a parents. Sometimes family unsettled responsibilities will be a motivation that will encourage you to stake higher maybe it might turn out to be a big win and change the story of your family. That is what gives me motivation and I have been using it for long.I am in-charge of my family but it does affect me in any ways. Although some people might be acting weird or panic whenever they loose and chanell their agression to their family. But that is not the way to handle gambling case as a married couples.

I don't have children at the moment but my educated guess says yes.
The way, amount and time I bet has been different since I got married. We both have a job and my wife isn't too concerned about my little expenses but she expects to be included in large financial decisions. And we have plans with budget allocations. There's no way I could move large amount of my salaries without her noticing. It prevents me from repeating the rage bet I had a few years ago. Most of my gambling budget now comes from bounties and from revenues of the website I operate.

Yes definitely, you have a family to take care of. In this situation, every money you bet should be properly analysed before placing the bets. You need to do proper risk management and set a budget for gambling. You need to gamble only that amount which you can afford to lose and doesn’t affect your family. Don’t gamble with the money which is required to pay the bills and daily necessities. If you tick all these things, and have extra funds for gamble, then it won’t be a bigger problem to gamble with family and responsibilities.
Having children is known to have a huge effect on the parents in so many ways and if we should speak of responsibility, it is the core truth every parent must abide by to raise great children that would help make the world a better place.
As such, if one thinks and knows in their heart that gambling is a bad or something that might of course be a burden to an immediate family's finance, the parents don't need anymore to tell them it's a bad investment even if the children are still small and perhaps unawares of their parents gambling habits.
Having children does create a new outlook of life for the parents and as such every deed must be checked properly. Still, making out time as the parents to have fun and do some of the things that once made sense and brought excitement, is the essence of life.

I mean that thing should be obvious if you are a responsible parent right? If you cannot give them even the basic necessities to your children then I think you have absolutely no right to gamble. That's just what's ideal but we know majority wouldn't follow that. Most people may not go to a casino or sit on a table for card games but they would still keep on buying lottery tickets everyday and say it's just a small amount.

When you gamble you have to accept that you are not making money there you are going to lose your money there so if you cannot afford that loss then you should not go there. When you become a father you become a responsible person. Then you have to take care of your family. So after managing your family properly if you have enough money that even if you lose gambling it won't affect your family then you can gamble for some fun otherwise you shouldn't gamble.
I started gamble before I have my own small family and today I have 2 kids, does it change my gambling habits? Frankly speaking, no it does not change my habits but it changes my gambling budget. I have to reduce my gambling budget because I have to spend more money for my family. Anyway, we should have priority list to do in our life no matter we are single or we are married + kids already. Being single does not mean that we can spend more money than those who have family, being a parent does not mean that we should change our habits (not only gambling) but we should be more responsible. As long as losing some money in gambling will not affect your whole life and family, we are good to go.
Yes definitely! Being a parent can have a huge impact on all of your habits especially that you are obligated to meet your responsibilities in the welfare of your children. In addition, there are tons of sacrifices that a parent must do in order to give the best of the care for their children.
For example, if you are addicted to gambling and you allocate a specific percentage of your income to it, then you must sacrifice and avoid (if possible) all throughout gambling since that allocation must be catered to your children. Not to mention, you must not influence your children to any environment that may affect their general welfare.
Having a family with kids will indeed change your life's choices especially when it comes to your gambling lifestyle. You are hypocrite if you will say to others that nothing change when you become a family man or woman. You have other priorities now and you are not only considering yourself in this journey but also other people who happen to be your loved ones.
I definitely agree with you.
If OP thinks that having children will not change anything with their gambling habits then it is best for him to avoid kids for the meantime. Being a parent carries a huge responsibility that you must fulfill to the best of your ability.

Gambling is a high responsibility in itself and for any family person most especially if you are the financial supplier and all the family members depend on you, it then means that you have to reduce your gambling activities not even only in the amount you use to gamble, but also in your time management, because combining gambling with family won't be an easy thing unless you choose to deliberately neglect one to the other.
Also when you have a limited bankroll you then need to calculate your reserves based on your expenses and if you discover that involving gambling in your daily expenses will drain you, since you are no longer single but have a family to fend for, it very advisable to quiet gambling or gamble with a limited amount of money that will not affect your family upkeep.

Really? This may be the first time I have read about addiction to trading.
Unless I am misunderstanding. There is a clear difference between trading and gambling, mind you, but I have always thought was harder for anyone to get addicted to trading than gambling, specially because (unlike gambling) traders can opt to use some strategies not tomlose all their money or improve their chances of profitability.
According to the researches that I have made, there is trading addiction. Also that most traders are losing. Some will trade but later they will move to holding instead after significant losses. As people have lost big sum of money to gambling, so are people that lost huge amount of money to gambling. Although trading is different with gold analyses and strategies but most people trade and gamble more, only few use it to make money.Unless I am misunderstanding.

I know most traders lose money, last time I read about it I recall less than a 30% of traders could be able to get consistent earnings from their speculation strategies in the market, but I did not know there were even studies about it.
To me, the big difference between a casino and an exchange is how casinos make money out the laws of probabilities and the amount of people to lose money which goes directly to the casino trunks. While in the case of exchanges, they make money regardless of the market, the capitalize the volume of trades, thanks to fees.
I am inclined to think those studies you talk about must be about people who want to make a quick buck using the Future markets in exchanges, instead going for more traditional approaches like the Spot market, I have personally messed around with trading Spot and I don't find it to be as addicting as throwing dices or playing crash.
. However, my opinion may be not the best one, since I don't consider myself to be a professional trader and I have only managed to make a few bucks out of it. If you don't mind, I would like to take a look at those studies, if you happen to have the links at hand.

Well that's true. In fact, I don't have a child yet but I've seen a lot of people have that experience, when they have a child and a family, their time for gambling has decreased as well as the money used for gambling because it's only allocated to the needs of their children. The responsibility of having a child is no joke, so you should really limit the vices you do because the situation will be different unless you are an addict and you can't stop it, it is possible that you will just ignore the child because you don't have money to support him.

You are supposed to know your responsibility as a parents and if you fail to access this and go stupid with your gambling habit then obviously the repercussions are only yours to bear because any mistake made will greatly affect you as a father so it's better to limit your expenses when it's comes to gambling and if possible have some spare cash that won't be of any effect to you even if you find yourself losing the game .
Yes.
You will think about your losses and regret that you could've used that money to take the children to the mall, have some great food, and just play there. That's what happened to me. So yes, having children can affect your lifestyle as a gambler.
I can say that because I changed my bad habits. 4 years have passed since I last smoked cigarettes and that's the same age as my younger kid. I realized that I don't want them to have bad health just because they are inhaling secondhand smoke from me. There were also times I was too shy to kiss them because of my bad breath from smoking.
The good part is, it worked great both ways. Now, my breathing is better, my taste buds are enhanced, and the kids are not getting sick because of me.
It's a different effect in gambling though, you will be careful with your bets, try to analyze the game, and bet only a small amount, so you won't be wasting too much money so and the budget won't be affected. Then, you plan ahead, you just gamble money that you think is a spare after expenses.
