Topic: Gambling by financial dependents. - page 23. (Read 4202 times)

I will never backed an 18 year old boy that's into gambling because at that age they are not always strong at heart, they easily lose themselves, you can end up losing face in from of his parent because he can fool you guys, trust, I have been there because this have happened to someone very close in the family too.

He might decide not to steal from his mother and go out and start borrowing money from friends and other, before you know what's going on, there will be lots of debt on the ground and will be shocked.

My advice is to be strictly close to that boy, there is no such thing as gambling responsibly in an 18 years old boy, they are just starting their life as a man, and they will always be careless.

In my own region, boys below eighteen are already placing bets since there is an eighteen-plus regulation but agents don't bother to check for IDs or anything to make a proper confirmation, since the younger ones feel they also need money and they have responsibility how hilarious, and rich people gamble with there friends to discuss reasonable issues in business and looking at there status they financially dependent, and some times they get greedy too but look at the situation were gambling has eaten deep into an average man's life selling off his or her property is expected.

He must have get that gambling vice from a friend so i don't think he will stop easily because his mother said so because his environment have influence him to gamble. But the good thing is that he is a "responsible gambler" like you have said, let's just hope that it will turn out that way always and he may develop patience and discipline, characteristics that a good gambler must have.

He is young, one day or another he will encounter ups and downs in gambling so as a family member, guide him on what to do whenever he encounters problems regarding gambling and relate our experiences to him.

For me, let me make this categorically clear that I will never allow any of my child, to start gambling while he or she is still in school, its not just about the financial aspect of it, but for the fact that, it could affect them negatively in terms of studying, you will discover that they will start spending more times in analyzing games for their next bet, rather than reading their books..

So for me, I support what the mother is saying, if she's not comfortable with her son gambling while still in school, the son should not act disrespectful and stop immediately, he has several years ahead of him, he can still gamble once he finishes school, and finds something doing for himself, gambling while in school will sure affect his studies, even if he's not stealing to finance his gambling activities.

To me, I think everything is wrong especially in the case of the boy in OP story. The mother admitted that the boy is still dependable on her and still in school. Thou being in school does not exclude one from gambling but when you are dependable and have no other means of income aside from family stipend should be checked and stop if possible. Gambling addiction doesn't not start in a day but with constant gambling and before you know you're addicted. The mother wants the best for her boy hence she's worried about his gambling habit.

From the story it's obvious that the boy is still under the control of a mother perhaps not attain the age of maximum freedom from parents. For now, he should respect his mother and stop.

I think its rather grey to gamble with money you were handed. What did I mean here with grey? Its pretty obvious. It sounds okay as if kiddo is gambling with his own money but I think its not exactly acceptable because its not hard earned money. When people gamble with money they %100 earn and own I have nothing to tell against it. But I can't say it's good when someone uses his father's money honestly.

In my opinion, gambling does not look at a person's age or position, because gambling he is ready to risk his money and is ready to accept all the risks. Since everyone has a different opinion, some gamble for fun and some gamble to supplement their family's finances. And in my opinion, in gambling, the rich and the poor are the same because they both risk their money in gambling, the difference is how big or small the money is at stake. If someone invests in the field of gambling, in my opinion it is very unlikely because we cannot predict the results we will receive later.

That's right, and it's like a curse for the rich. It seems to us, simple guys, that the rich have the best life, because they have nothing more to wish for, but we forget that according to Maslow's Pyramid, moral needs play a big role if you are provided for. But rich people are always busy, and they seem to be trying to buy off children by trying to borrow money from them. In 80 percent of the interviews I watched, the dependent young players were from wealthy or very wealthy families. And this is surprising, because why do they need more money? And it turns out that gambling gave them a sense of independence in managing their lives.

Those who belong to rich families won't really care about their age nor do their family care about these things and they give them so much money to spend on anything they want and these are the kinds of children that get spoiled because they are not supervised from the beginning and their activities are not watched and checked by their parents and guardians. And if you have any experience with them, no one from outside the family can tell them anything because such children are often disrespectful to everyone.

However, I don't blame the children for any of that since it's the responsibility of the family to take care of them and make sure that their upbringing isn't questioned when they grow up because that will be a shame for the parents if their children get spoilt when they are grown-ups.

I think this is a matter of perspective, no one is right and wrong since it is about a personal belief.  There are also indication the life isn't a gamble at all because of the factor that can alter the result of persons decision making it favorable to the one making the decision.  It has a control risk factor that refute life being a gamble.  But of course we can agree to disagree, after all, as I stated no one is wrong in their own perspective.


But regardless, if a person is not yet earning his own stead, he should avoid wasting the money given to him by his parents.  It is not a matter of they have control or not but the matter of indebtedness to the people who is giving us the money when we are not able to produce it ourselves.  We should not indulge ourselves with to much pleasure to the point of spending our allowance given by our parents to things that can possibly harm us, or make us demand more money because the first one was spent on gambling.

Although it maybe true that it is embedded in our DNA but we have the minds that can control our urge and decisions helping us to do better things than wasting our allowance to pleasure.

well, about those cases of minors who are playing in casinos, they are breaking the laws of their country, which means they are committing crime, they are breaking the TOS of the casinos, which means they are not respecting the casinos, And there is another very serious problem, which is the fact that they don't work, they still don't earn their own money, so they are taking their parents' money and spending it in a very irresponsible way. they are rich, they may think that their parents' money is infinite money, but the truth is that their parents' money is not infinite money, today they have living parents, but tomorrow they may lose their parents, their parents may to die

and in most cases where the parents are rich when the parents die then all the family businesses start to fail and as the children live spending a lot of money then even the bank accounts that had a lot of money start to be empty, with a few years bank accounts are at zero and poverty knocks on these children's doors, without parents it is difficult to have anyone else to ask for help, so they start living on the streets, other children become thieves and other children are murdered in confrontations with the police

That's why it's very important to educate children well, parents should watch their children's phones, this is something very important, I think that underage children require a lot of attention from their parents, some parents start making mistakes by giving their children a phone and computer. their children when they are children and to make matters worse, these parents do not control their children, they do not like and do not go to their children's schools to find out how their children are behaving, their grades at school, they do not sit down to talk to their children to know if they have problems if they have any difficulties with something

Inherently, life is a gamble. Any choice you make, every professional move you make, every investment you make is a gamble. Humanity has always sought pleasure, risk-taking, and the excitement of the unknown, according to the old rhythms of history and the currents of society. Well, Im not advocating for irresponsibility, but dont be foolish in believing that young people lack the ability to distinguish between enjoyment and harm.

When done responsibly, gambling may be entertaining. Indeed, there could be a financial "bonus" of sorts. Im not advocating that they stake their entire future on it. To adamantly reject its existence within the realm of human amusement, however, would be stupid. We are not machines designed only to be productive. We require the disorder, unpredictability, and danger. Its embedded in our DNA. Although you may perceive it as evil, it can just be another facet of the intricate human tale.

Boys in my country start gambling from below eighteen years of age and they are gambling day and night in different casino sites. Moreover, in reality, many people are gathering gambling together with money. In fact, their family is very rich, so they are investing here because they have a lot of money. I have seen many people gamble by selling their assets but they are only greedy to make extra money.

My advice to these youths is to stop gambling and do now study and not give extra money from their families. Only necessary money will be given to their children.

I fully support your statement when educating young people to have a career or work but also make money in their own way, such as considering their work as entertainment or even being able to work in entertainment venues to earn a salary but also have fun and essentially make money with pleasure.

but slightly disagree with the last word you wrote assuming that gambling provides money and entertainment. this assumption makes young people fall into evil a little because usually young people have an unstable mindset and cannot think in a healthy manner, they only accept something in their minds instantly and if we say gambling gives money it is very wrong but if it provides entertainment it is very big and if you get money from gambling it can be considered as a bonus when enjoying the entertainment.

And he should be stopped earlier before it become addicted to gambling because if those moments come, it was hard for him to stay away and controlled himself. His mother's intervention is very important this time, he needs more guidance and changes his habit as it possibly turns out to be her nightmare when her son starts stealing her money in order to have the capital for gambling.
Many young people had come in the wrong direction and are addicted to gambling because of a lack of guidance from their parents.

It is indeed strange, where the age of 18 years should be better to collect money for the foundation of the next life, continue to university or do business, learn to invest or whatever is for a better future, he instead uses his money to gamble, one day he will experience difficulties When he experiences an accident, or negative things that occur in his health, and he does not have savings to pay for things that will be sad.

Whatever the concept in gambling, whether to have fun or earn money is certainly wrong if you use the savings money, he does not have financial principles and how to manage money well if only using his money to gamble after his basic needs. I think it will be a gloomy youth if the way of thinking is like that.

Children are not considered to be responsible gamblers until they are adults. A child can be indulged in gambling by his friends as long as they have money with them. When one will not have enough money, he no longer gambles. It must be difficult for him to accept gambling as fun unless he is only an adult or 18+. As we know that minor won't have control over them. By the incident that OP mentioned I would say that since the gambler has no source of income of his own. So he will be able to control his gambling activities by himself. There is no need for mothers to get too excited.

They don't seem to be able to have self-awareness and it will be difficult to tell what is really going on because they are definitely afraid that their parents will find out that they have a serious problem, namely gambling addiction or worse, becoming an addict.
Although this may not be accepted by parents when they find out, they can even be angry, but being honest to say that this is an interest and really must be done so that he can immediately be helped out of addiction problems.
Let alone those who are still teenagers, even adults will be ashamed and will never want to tell others about their addiction.

Now that's the fear that I might have felt when I saw or heard that children who were underage were starting to get to know gambling.
They will definitely get negative impacts and of course the problem of gambling addiction will be a difficult problem for every child to develop until he succeeds in becoming a better successor.
Wrong action in taking is a natural thing to happen but when the mistake is due to entering into gambling then it is really worrying.
You know all the conveniences you can get to be able to gamble so that everyone at all ages can easily access it without any difficulties.

In reality players often ignore this. I was like that too few months after I'm starting to playing slots, they are more likely playing beyond their "money can afford to lose" anymore.  In some cases, a person no longer thinks about how to get more free money for gambling, but they tend to look for ways to get more for betting. Borrowing, lying to the family at any cost, as long as they can get money, they will do that and make a bet again. Looklike tomorrow's life depends on the "jackpot" if it come.

A curious young person can be all things unknown at his age so maybe gambling is something they will try. This can be seen from the many young people who have started to get involved in gambling and we even hear of several cases of young people who committed suicide because of gambling. That's similar to the cases related to alcohol, sex, and drugs that young people experience. Gambling may not be bad for young people or even adults, as long as they can take good care of themselves while gambling. But the reality that is encountered is that many young people are out of control.

There is no need to go far. We may have seen young people fighting with other young people just because of trivial matters, their female friends were bullied or they accidentally collided with other people. Other young people will be provoked by their emotions and attack people or other young people who have problems with their female friends. For this reason, young people should channel their activities into positive things that can provide a lot of good for them.
