Topic: Gambling by financial dependents. - page 11. (Read 4202 times)

I agree with his mother that he should stop gambling, because the obvious reason is that he doesn't have an income so it's not natural for him to use the money his family gives him for gambling capital, apart from that, in my opinion, his actions have gone too far because in one step he will become an addict. The concept of gambling is that he will make money any way he can, whether stealing or other things, just to gamble

First thing first, before you begin to gamble, you need to first choose wether or not that you be a responsible gambler or becoming a problematic gambler, the choice is then left for you to make and come out with you reality at some point in time, because for sure it becomes very easy to spot when you have not set out a guide or rule to follow and at that point you already choosen that be a problematic gamblers.

But if you have a well planned rules and regulations and guidelines that guide your conducts on the casinos, it will be hard before you behave in a strange ways that outsiders will even notice that you gamble.

Playing occasional Arcade games or some shooting or dice in a local fair is not a big issue. But young people should be kept away from professional gambling setup.
People may argue that gambling is just another form of entertainment but gambling is much different than watching a movie, in that, gambling can be really addictive and has a significant financial effect, a sudden loss or a sudden gain. A person who is dependent on others should not gamble. Gambling should be done by one's own earning only as they would be effectively managing their own money be it in a good way or bad. When it's not their money people could be playing more recklessly that may become a habit for long term if unchecked.

     -   I think your nephew has a broad understanding of what he is doing in gambling, despite the fact that he is only a student at the moment. So, I can consider your nephew, who is otherwise a responsible gambler,.

Then just trust what he said and hold that he can manage what he is doing correctly; in fact, he has already started, and it looks like he is mature in that regard. Although here in our country, many minors experience gambling, I just don't know if they can do it online as well.

I agree if proper advice about gambling and its downsides are given from the beginning then such mistakes can be avoided. And it is totally up to the gambler to try and if he doesn't think about his bad side then the family members also fail many times. Gambling helps to calm down after a long day don't approach the gambling scene like it's serious business. It will just put it on edge and make it hard to calm down and play the game. For this proper planning should be done which will help to succeed.

As long as people can use gambling responsibly, they will not experience any problems. But most people will forget their responsibilities when playing gambling, so we still often see many people who experience large losses. They can do other things, as you mentioned, but it depends on their wishes because if they want to return to gambling even though they already have other activities, they will still return to gambling. If he steals his mother's money to gamble, it indicates that he has started to experience a gambling addiction that he is not aware of and this must be addressed immediately before things get even worse. Parents must always approach their children, especially their teenage children because they are vulnerable to a great sense of curiosity, which can cause them to take the wrong path.

If her son's addiction to gambling is severe enough for him to rob his mother or perhaps hurt her, then it would be best for him to consult a specialist. She might help her kid comprehend the root causes of his addiction and create a better coping mechanism by getting plenty of treatment or perhaps medication if she seeks professional assistance. Then, his conscience will awaken, and he will realize that, rather than wasting his time gambling, he should be doing his studies at this young age.
 
However, there are drawbacks as well, because hiring professionals to assist you might be costly. That's the reason we should think about the monetary consequences and look into the resources that are out there, like insurance or affordable counseling.
It takes time and dedication, in my opinion, to overcome addiction. Her son's daily routine and his academic schedule can be affected if he needs to attend several therapy sessions each week. One thing is for sure: the course of treatment may not be successful if her son is not prepared for change or is resistant to it.

I frankly support your opinion here and it is the same thing I advised initially. But perhaps, if the nephew could get the money externally or is working to earn it, then it is still cool, nevertheless, such must be talked to, and good advice about the risk of gambling must be given so that it will not be as if the uncle is a wicked person and doesn't want him to be free even at that age. In all sense of it, once someone is dependent, there are still limitations to what they can do especially if they are under someone's care, and in this case, it is not their hard-earned money, so why waste it? They do not have the moral right to waste it and being an adult doesn't give you the automatic right to do adult things, it is your status that will encourage and support that. The nephew must be ready mentally and financially, and by that, he must ensure that he can only qualify for total freedom if he is financially independent of his uncle and not otherwise.

I have seen a lot of similar cases, and I at times, blame the upbringing of some children. The environment they grew up in and the kind of friends they keep matter too. But no matter how much you frown at it or try to stop the nephew from gambling, such like him still do it behind your back and you will never know. And even if they win, they know how to keep it without you suspecting it. It could be with their fellow friends or another person they can trust. But what I do not like is when the uncle who frowns at it now becomes supportive after they win big. I just don't like that, it is a kind of selfishness that shows indiscipline. This reminds me of a skit I watched with a similar narration.

That's a quite different way to see it but I like that idea. Problems that can be solved with wisdom shouldn't be solved with power and force. You can't force a child to obey you or do certain things they don't want to do or vice versa, and even if they do that by force, they will keep this in mind and will do those things deliberately in your absence. That's why, such sensitive issues should be handled with care because it takes one mistake to spoil everything, especially in matters where children are involved.

So, you're right that one should try and talk it out if the guy who is gambling isn't hiding it or doing anything wrong so that they can get money to feed their gambling activities but they are admitting it and such honesty should be appreciated and he should be schooled properly so that he understands that gambling can be bad for him.

The truth is that I see that it is not possible to prevent him from going to play in the casino, but the bad thing I think is that the possibility of robbing his own mother is something that should not be allowed, personally, for a person who is starting out in the casino. The game has to be observed a lot, it is easy, because the person can talk to him and ask him , what game , how he plays and how much he bets, what is his success rate, how much does he lose? do you go every day? That is very easy to determine if he is the one who steals or not, the strange thing is that the money does not seem to his own man, which I see very badly, because if he is really the one who is stealing, it is something very bad, both As what indicates that it is stealing, as what is probably an addiction that is starting to take place, therefore when we are in that phase of investigation we must keep a lot of observation, a person like that cannot be let go, much less can he be Go do anything to stop worrying, that's not so easy, a person who is already involved in these actions needs to confront him, generally I don't recommend it being the mother, but the father or a person who speaks loudly to him.

Addicts can take money that is not theirs just to satisfy their need for money, that is an addiction, it is something that sometimes they do whatever it takes to continue playing , it doesn't matter to some if they steal, or if they get the money selling anything, I am one of those who think that when you do something like this, you should be very careful , because in part when it is like that you have to Work quickly you should not want to move forward, especially if you commit that type of data, because if you did it with his mother , he can easily do it with anyone, and that is only because it should be avoided, therefore when we are in these types of events we have to be clear in what is decided and not start making crazy decisions, You should always seek professional help , that's my First piece of advice.

"Being responsible"

This is really that indeed the key on making yourself do able to avoid things miserably specially with gambling. You wont really be ending up on such trouble or problem if you do
really just make yourself that mindful about on the things that you are dealing with. You wont really be putting up yourself on such problem
if you are really that sensible and aware on the things that you've been dealing with. Gambling is really just that for fun and not for money making.
Once you do have this kind of realizations then you would really be that able to avoid things.

Its not something that you could really be able to rely if we do speak about financial aspects. Its never been that way ever.

Gambling is not bad if one is committed to being responsible. Maybe for him gambling is like entertainment that can entertain him while his friends his age spend time watching movies or going on dates with their girlfriends. Moreover, if he is prohibited from gambling, I think he certainly has the potential to do so without his parents knowing. Moreover, if he has run out of money, it is possible that he will steal his mother's money to play. In this case, in my opinion, it is better to talk openly with each other to respect what the child likes, so that what he does can be controlled by the supervision of his parents too.

Indeed, his mother had a good point in preventing him from gambling, as it can develop into a major addiction with unfavorable effects, especially while he was young. What if he started gambling gradually and eventually developed a fondness for it, even though he acknowledged that he only uses the money he gets from his allowance? We can never be sure what his future holds. Teenagers are skilled at dishonesty and can even fabricate stories to manipulate their parents in order to achieve what they want, so there is a chance that he may play fools on her. Not all, but some do, particularly if they are persuaded by their friends. He would think that it would be beneficial for him to try again if he has experience playing and starts winning and making money, but if he loses, he has a tendency to chase losses. Perhaps he can't focus on his education because of his gambling obsession; his mother's efforts to guarantee his future are in vain, and he spends his time gambling.

Yes, that is what every parent must do with their children so that they are not involved in something that could harm them. However, it's not easy because teenagers want to try something without anyone knowing, so this can make them slowly fall into something they couldn't have predicted. But if teenagers can be closer to their parents and grow and develop while being supervised and guided by their parents, they will not want to try many things that could negatively impact their lives. And if their parents want to gamble, they can do it elsewhere so their children don't know what they are doing. This will prevent children from knowing about gambling, and they will not try to gamble because they already know about it from their parents.

The most basic thing is to give children an understanding about gambling, both in terms of winning and also the bad effects of gambling itself.
Indeed, at the age of 18+, a child is starting to be able to think for himself and is happier with his choices. However, in order to prevent evil, it is very important to continue to guide him even if the child doesn't like it. What's more, the problem of gambling is that we are adults who gamble without showing it to other people, especially children. because the bad impacts are very dominant compared to the good impacts of winning at gambling

If parents are close to their children, they will be able to realize that there are changes in their children, even if the changes are very small. There is an inner voice in parents saying that something is wrong with their children, so wise parents will ask their children if everything is okay and invite them to discuss it if they really have a problem. And their children will definitely tell their parents whatever their problems are because they really trust their parents, especially since their parents are people who are very close to their children.

And if their children become addicted to gambling, their parents will definitely try to cure their children at any cost because their parents really love their children. Parents will not want to lose their children, even if they have to sacrifice their possessions for the sake of their children. That is why there are parents who are willing to do anything to see their child's happiness, and that child is lucky to have parents who really care about him and should be grateful for him.

I do agree that it's all about being dependent and not the age. It doesn't matter if a person is 15 years old or 25 years old, if they are still getting their money from their parents or whoever, they should not gamble with it because that should be a lot more important.

I believe that we are going to end up with something that should be quite the tough type and should not be doing anything like that. I know that life is not simple and we should consider that as a problem, but we are going to end up with a trouble if we are not careful. I know that life is not that simple, and I know that it's going to hurt you on the long run, but that doesn't mean that you are right all the time. Earn your own money if you want to start gambling.

I think 18 years is an average age of an adult male or female citizen of any country, not only yours. Gambling  is not determined by age rather self control and decipline. My advice to him is that he can gamble but gamble responsibly. He should always play gambling with the amount he can afford to loose.

Because if he doesn't play responsibly the fear of his mom might become the worst nightmare, especially when his mother's money continues missing.

Parental guidance is needed on that part but it's not easy for the parents to detect that something strange is now happening to their child since the child is doing things not to make them look like something unusual is happening. I hope that if ever a kid is experiencing a gambling problem at that early age, they should find the courage to tell everything on their parents whatever it takes.

Expect their parents to get mad but it's way better to happen before anything else will turn worse in the future if the addiction by the kid won't end.

This situation happened in reality in some parts of the world.

If he is still a student, he will experience emotional changes, becoming unstable and angry more easily than thinking before acting. If he can stop gambling because he has wasted his parents' money, that is a good step, and he should really leave gambling for good. But if he couldn't do that, he would probably lie to everyone who asked him so he could keep the money he would use for gambling. A student will lose his future when he starts to know something that makes him lose money, such as gambling, which can make him lose focus on studying, reducing his performance at school. This requires attention from the adults around him, so they need to provide understanding to the child.
