Topic: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? - page 5. (Read 1445 times)

It’s very unlikely that a parent would allow their child to gamble, not even when themselves are compulsive gamblers or addicts to the industry. I think this could only come into play for the few individuals that sees it for a profession. For these persons, you could find them go as far as coaching there wards on how to gamble the various markets (these are just my assumptions with respect to what is obtainable in other professions and to set the records straight, I’ve not seen any gambler exhibiting these character).

70+ age seems like an age to draw the line but, that’s when we look at 70+ years of age to be really old. Some guys could be really young for their age and you could find them gambling still. I’ll always limit this to reasoning.

The most important thing is that, the child should and must get to gambling age before he she be allowed to gamble and to have a feel of what gambling is at first place, this is so because if you as a parent just allowed your child to have access to gambling at just any age because you are a gambler doesn't make you a responsible parent, most times you should be able to find a balance between when and how a child get involved in risky things such a as gambling since the child will be needing some form of mentorship.


18+ is technically ok as others have also mentioned, but if the child could grow older than that such as getting to 30 years before testing what gambling is is quite ok since at that age he will have sense of responsibility.

1. I won't be the kind of father who restricts my children from a lot of things, knowing fully well that if I don't give them access, they might still learn the knowledge and do whatever they want outside and behind my back.
 
It will be best if I personally educate them on how gambling works and how they can go about it.
 
Going back to the number 1 question, I think the best time I can start allowing them to gamble is when ever they have started making their own money; they have the right to gamble with a little percent of it; it's their hard earned, and they can make decisions over that.

2. I can't really tell when I will stop gambling; it will depend on how my age will affect me and the kind of engagement and side fun that I might have discovered, which will determine if I will continue gambling at an old age or not.

3. I have never imagined gambling in this aspect, like looking for the positive things that it has impacted on me. I don't create room for that; I just check my gambling habits to see if I'm still on track or if I'm doing too much. That's the only kind of check I do, and I have also not won any big, reasonable amount from gambling before.

4. Can’t tell…

I could say that its a bit too off when you do make out that kind of allowing your kids on engaging into gambling specially when you are a father, unless if you are a heavy addict then you might really be having those kind of considerations but for them then there's no way that i would be allowing that. As parents then we should really be guiding them into the right path as much as possible and we do know the risks about gambling addiction that
could really be resulting into that huge problem into their lives. There's no father that wants really to see their children would really be suffering out on such condition. This is why as much as possible then we would really be tending to avoid them at all cost. We do know the risks and the probabilities.

You cant really just that allow them just because you are doing it also. There's a difference on how an adult and a kid would be thinking up on a particular thing.So it would really
be just that depending on how you would really be handling out and making that kind of discipline.

For the first question if the father is a gambler then he will allow his children gambling and I will not know which age he will like to allowing them to gambling but as for me from 18 years and above because at that age they can withstand with the pressure of gambling. Then the number two question is that quitting gambling is something that is very difficult mostly when you have played gambling until it has enter into your blood. But from age 75 is a good age to stop gambling. Then the third question, even those who have won millions and billions are still gambling so as for me nobody has satisfied with gambling win and I have not also. And the number four. Some gamblers would tell people that if they don't know how to gamble then it is better they should not even learn how to gamble. So wit that statement, those of us that have enter into gambling are even trying leave gambling but the resistance is very low so we found ourselves in the gambling field.

The age that governments consider to be the age at which a person is already an adult is 18 years of age. Therefore, I would tell you that you can play at 18 years of age because in all casinos in the TOS they also set 18 years of age as the age of majority and this is because the casinos are following government recommendations. but it is necessary to look at each case in isolation, for example a person may have a child who is 18 years old but that child behaves like a child and is not responsible, in which case advising him to play at 18 years of age would not be a good idea. movement because he is already 18 years old but has no responsibility. while another person may have a more responsible 18-year-old child, in that case that person may allow the child to play. My answer will depend on the behavior of the child I had


50 years of age is my maximum age to play, when you are very old, playing becomes something dangerous, especially games that greatly affect people's emotions, which is why I would retire from gambling at the most 50 years of age


I play for fun, so for me every time I play I'm happy, even when I lose my bets I still laugh and do other things in the real world to have fun and with that I can play and even though I lose I'm aware that it's normal and that everything is fine. I always say that it is very important that people have many other ways to have fun so as not to focus solely on gambling. happy people rarely become addicted to gambling


Well, I don't see my gambling activities as losses, I see them as fun just like when I buy food and stay at home eating and watching a movie. Many people forget that the amount of money they use to drink alcohol or go to the beach is also an expense, so what is the difference between using $10 at the casino and using $10 at the beach? in both cases people are spending the money

It is important to be smart in life so that we can achieve what we want, but if the direction is towards children who are not yet ready to know about gambling, it is better for them not to be close to gambling or fall into it. Because there are many other important things they need to know so it is true as you say that gambling and children cannot mix with each other.

The sensation will be felt when we have won from gambling because before winning everyone must face the same risks so that excitement can also be created at the same time when we see victory in front of our eyes. So things like this are usually more suitable for people who are adults and not for children who are still at school or at the same level.

yeah I agree, that's why it should be to avoid such an incident, maybe what parents need to do is to build a good relationship between parent and children so that when the time comes when there are things they want to know out of their curiosity, they themselves will come and ask to their parents instead of searching it right away on the internet or asking other people. We don't watch over them 24/7 and we don't know the activities they do, so it's better to start with the easiest way until they themselves come to us to ask questions.

When he can make its own money and can take responsibility for its life. At that time we will not be able to interfere in his lives, we can only give directions and share the experiences we have gained, all decisions are still up to him, I will not interfere when he has its own life.

For me, there is no specific age for this. I will continue to gamble as long as I can still control my finances, as well as mentally ensure I can maintain my gambling rules.

Currently, I feel somewhat satisfied with my gambling, because I can control my gambling without falling into an addiction. Plus, I can make a steady profit from my gambling.

Gambling for me is like a financial game that brings me many interesting feelings as well as useful lessons. If I hadn't participated in gambling, I probably wouldn't have learned the lessons of capital management as well as how to control my emotions and greed.

What happens is that now the world has been very open to any type of activities where basically the freedoms are very great, since children can have Access to the web, as parents it is difficult to determine them, because they are very curious beings , in less than 1 minute they can go on the Internet, search, obtain information and be Aware of what they want to extract information from, and this is Done by children who do not even Know how to read, so in this order of ideas things can be very decisive for them, we have to have a lot of observation, a lot of Attention, a lot of supervision because now not only children but anyone in the world can Access any casino and the truth is that prohibiting them is like trying to cover the sun with a finger, so this guy Some things must be treated with Great Caution,  always warning of the Associated dangers.

And whatever the reason, I will not let my child gamble because I am worried that he will not be able to control himself when he gets to know the world of gambling, let alone become addicted and this must be really thought about. Because that would ruin my child's life, and those who really love their children definitely don't want that to happen. Even though I love gambling and am not an active gambler, I know the risks of addiction and I don't want that to happen to my child.

And in this case, if I want to stop at any time, I can easily stop because I only gamble on weekends after 5 busy days with work and only use a few dollars. That's also if I have the urge to gamble, otherwise I won't. And to stop completely, maybe I'll stop at 50.

gambling and kids dont mix unless they're already grounded. They need to go to school, be disciplined, and know a lot about money. Its not about age, but about being mature. Me giving up gambling? That would be like giving up making great deals, which is not going to happen. It has given me an edge by teaching me how to handle risk, enjoy big wins, and even deal with tough losses. Its important to be smart in life, right?

What are you missing out on if you never gamble? Its true. Its the thrill and the wins. Helps you get back on your feet, think about the chances, and be humble sometimes. Balance is the word. Fun, family, and a small amount of danger can all go together. If you play smart and stay safe, your wins will taste even better.

Yeah I will let him to gamble, as long as he able to earn money and know how manage money, it's their choice to choose whatever he want.

In the end, people will ask you how much money you make every month instead of what's your degree, what's your profession, how long you study etc etc, even you're just a waiters but you can earn as high as business's owner, no one will say anything bad to you.

1. Probably never. Yes, I am gambler but I don't want my child to gamble. Regardless of how the life will be in the next decade or so, I'd always decline if I am asked for a permission.
2. I don't know. Maybe when I don't feel gambling anymore. I can't hold the future and I have no idea on what's coming in it. Maybe I might like it for the next years but people change, right? That's why I have no idea when and at what age I'll be.
3. Yes. When I am on the rainy days and I need some money on it and fortunately have won some bets, then that's one of the satisfying moments that I've ever been with gambling. But it doesn't come always so, I'm thankful that it was just a fortunate moment of my life.
4. Not sure with that, it's all about "might", "maybe" answer.

I have had many wins and losses since I started gambling. I gamble because I enjoyed gambling. I used to enjoy sports betting. It gave me great pleasure when I bet with a favorite team and win a small amount of money. I have had many moments in gambling when I had many wins. A moment gave me so much pleasure. Although my intention was to enjoy gambling but in one bet I got a big win in proportion to my bet and with the winning money I did some of my necessary work which helped me financially a lot. It was a good moment of my victory but there are many incidents in my gambling where i loss. I manage gambling within my budget so it doesn't effect much.

If I wasn't a gambler I wouldn't have gained such a good knowledge of sports betting. The fun of watching live sports betting is different. Those who have never bet will definitely not find this excitement. There are many who enjoy the excitement of gambling despite losing money and I think I am one of them.

I am a non-professional gambler although sometimes I participate in gambling only for pleasure but my participation is only for pleasure and not for any monetary income. I will never allow my child to be involved in gambling because gambling has more harm than good. So I will always try to keep my child away from the lure of gambling.
As I am a non-professional gambler, at any stage of life, especially before fifty, I will remove myself from all the attractions of gambling and I will not allow any of my family members to get involved in this gambling addiction.
When I was not a gambler I had a good life style but now I am a non professional gambler and have lost ten times the amount of money I have gained from gambling. So I want to stop myself from gambling as soon as possible and try to control myself so that gambling addiction does not touch me later.

Many people ignore that children actually get introduced to gambling at a very easily stage or age unbeknownst to their parents or family. At first, it starts with table games like Ludo or any other tabletop game which involves to roll dices on a table. Later, as children start to grow up into pre-teen, they get introduced to card games like UNO or even poker.
All this happens even in controlled settings like in elementary and middle school, when their classmates or even teachers use those games to distract them in a boring day.
If we try to isolate children from the reality of the world, we will only end up making them ignorant and more vulnerable to fall for bad things, like scams, addictions, etc.

It is a matter to have some "serious talks" with them and be honest, in the same way many schools and parents opt to give sexual education to their teens and pre teens in order for them not to get pregnant or catch STDs, we are supposed to do the same with gambling and betting, so when they reach adulthood, they will be productive members of society. Just my opinion.

I take the opposite attitude which is kids need to learn risk vs reward anyway.  Most kids will learn a card game, the gamble for money would not be acceptable for children but in any case they neither earn or spend in that way.

There is no age for quitting gambling, when you can no longer add up properly perhaps.  IF you feel judgement has gone then maybe then.  I think most old people play games for considerable amounts of time but not in a big way so much but many games lower key spread out over time.   Older people tend to play for the social dynamic not the advantageous part of the prize and how big that might .

Gambling can keep an active mind, its potentially helpful for everyone so thats the perfect satisfaction level where you enjoy the game and money is the bonus from being so good at this game.

I would not have watched some sports games if I had not bet on the sequence of games leading upto and after the bet upon game.  So I would miss that experience if I was not betting as Im usually more focused on the result and advantage of either team etc.

1. Not allowing my child to involved with gambling as much as possible because we do know the risks on getting addicted, we arent around all the time until they do grow up. So it would be better that stopping them while they are still young.

2. I'll quit on random moment or time on which if its already that taking too much money or having that huge expense then this the time i would really be quitting gambling.
3. Entertainment and leisure should really be your main priority and if it comes to the point that you are already chasing up your losses then simply quit or stop and dont tend to do such thing.
4. No, its simply that for past time and isnt something that could missed out something.

Buddy its not all about managing money and taking risk, its about taking taking responsibility of actions as a gambler. Now let me ask you this question, would you let your child who is not up to the age of gambling like let me say he is 14 years but he know hot to manage finances and make inclined decisions; would you let him gamble?

When we all mean 18 years, we meant that the child is fully responsible of his own actions. I know how desperate teens can be to reach the age of 18 so they feel like adults and make some adult decisions. If my kid by that age wants to gamble i wont stop him, and if i see he has some issue handing finances then ill advise him, dont get me wrong i wont tell him to stop, ill only tell him about the advantages and disadvantages of gambling. I will teach him how i learnt to control my emotions. On the other hand, a father should be a figure to his child. I fi claim to be a responsible gambler i believe my kid would learn from me and be responsible as well
