Topic: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? - page 7. (Read 1359 times)

It will only happen when they are adults and it is an option for them to gamble or not.
But I would give you advice not to get too involved in gambling and there must be full control if you want to play or bet.

No one will know until when it will stop, but I am not intense enough in gambling.
I just entertained myself with a few games and bets and also none of the huge funds I used.

Ever, and it makes me more satisfied with the achievements I've ever done with gambling.
Makes me satisfied with the game jackpots I often get.
But it's not about how much money, but about the satisfaction of playing and betting.

Nothing will be missed, if I don't gamble then many other things can be done.

It's an interesting topic but I don't understand what your purpose is for the questions you've created, whether the results will become survey data or just fulfill your curiosity in your mind, or just be a random question that you made up to fulfill your assignment.
So that's fine, I'll answer them properly;
1. To be honest, I will not introduce gambling to my child, because gambling is considered bad in my environment, and there are many things that need to be learned from gambling to become a responsible gambler, it will be very difficult if only based on my sentence and supervision, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on my child, so as a good parent I will not do it.
2. I haven't confirmed for sure to stop gambling, but the sooner the better usually, because having a family will be quite complicated here if it's still connected to gambling.
3. When I win more than what my friend has won, I feel happy and satisfied because I can be arrogant to my gambling friend.
4. I will miss out on learning how to deal with gambling addiction, the most difficult thing in dealing with something that keeps us playing is addiction and if I never gamble maybe I will not learn how to deal with gambling addiction, maybe I will never know.

First off, gambling can't come to an end in my life, unless something peculiarly different happens, that it requires, that I shouldn't gamble anymore. As for the kids, I don't think they'll develop the need to become gamblers, because of their studies and environment. Kids who don't stay around gamblers will not have much interest in gambling. Except that they have exposed themselves to multiple gambling adverts. Talking about what I may have lost as a non-gambler, would be knowledge. Gambling opened up to me some meaning information that I can easily implement in my real-life endeavors. However, not all gamblers acknowledge the fact we learn each day whenever we gamble. It's a unique art that needs to be studied. When neglected and the gambler blindly joins the gambling niche s/he will develop rapid gambling problems.

OP:
Let's talk about the game, the variances of how losses and wins only mean that they can make you a better player and how to draw up game strategies.

For your context (OP), the best thing to do is pay for a consultation with a psychology expert or a psychiatrist, they can even help you in those difficult stages of the game, a psychologist specialized in sports or casino betting can help you .

On the other hand, hire a nutritionist or pay for a consultation, diet is important.

You can also join a gym or pay for a personal trainer.

You must belong to a healthy family environment, and do many other types of activities, such as reading, writing, painting, sports, etc.

That is the approach, global not specific to a couple of questions. (OP)

Spending money on everything mentioned above is the best bet you can make, if you think you have problems or insecurities.

I will never allow our children to be a part of gambling because it is not just risky but it has spoiled the life of many individuals. Most of the people are saying that they are gambling just for fun but think about those families which are always in stress just because of a single gambler.

I never gamble and will never do so and I also advise others to not be a part of it if you want satisfiction in your life and wishes that your family remains happy always. I think those are lucky who understands its risk early and leave it before it ruin the life of whole family.

  first off, gambling is a choice and depending on th reason why you gamble, you source of satisfaction is different from another's source of satisfaction through gambling and that's just how it works. For me, I won't comfortably introduce my children to gambling since they are supposed to be focused on studies and fixing their lives right while they are still with me. The decision to go into gambling should be there's and theres alone to make and that's how I look at it. If they are emotionally strong enough to manage what comes with gambling, then they can decide if it's okay to start it or not but as a father, that's not my decision to make.

At that age, children are starting to enter adolescence and they will see many things amidst the sophistication of technology. It is not difficult for them to know the term gambling because currently many online gambling platforms are starting to emerge. It is the parents' job to supervise and make choices for them that gambling is not a job to make money. In this way, children understand about gambling and are better able to assess the impact if they are involved in it.

It is difficult to prevent children from being exposed to gambling because there are many factors that make them familiar with gambling. If we don't want children to get caught up in gambling then what needs to be done is to control and explain the benefits and bad effects of gambling. It is the parent's responsibility to supervise their children and if left unchecked, they will become more wild and difficult to control.

I would never let my kids start gambling if I knew they were trying to do it.

I don't know when I will quit gambling but I always try to control myself so that gambling addiction doesn't take hold of me.

No

I feel Emptiness, but I don't feel anything as long as I can keep myself under control.

Legal age for my country. But of course I will explain clearly how it works much much time before.

never. it's fun like watch tv or just reading a book. I will never quit gambling but during the years I have reduced a lot (even without playing for several months).

Definitely yes. I have accrued a lot of info in many sports, and I have developed a good expertise in betting exchange.
Plus I have won nice prizee... definitely I had a good experience on gambling.

No. this is just a funny hobby nothing more.

Though it surprises somehow when we are into something and yet we think its not good for us to allow our children do the same, gambling quite alright is a means of having fun, but do many gamblers understand this and have the same mentality of that, the child will also have his own decision to make after he is fully grown up to choose whether to be a gambler or not, it doesn't matter if we want such to gambles or not, they will take their own pattern either ways, through our influence or not.

18 years old and above we can not say that our children have their own decisions so if they want to gamble then it's okay but we need to control them, Avery now and then we will remind them what are the possible outcome if they are too greedy and over in the world of gambling. What are the possible circumstances that they need to be face once they will make a mistakes. Cause in the world of gambling we can not say that we are too lucky everyday but sometimes we are too unlucky. Anyways the best thing to do  be vigilant and wise.

If I ever have a child, I would probably not allow him to gamble until he has reached the age of 21. If he still decides to live with me at that age, I would try to asking about his gambling habit and to be honest with me about his losses and wins, you know, in order to cultivate trust, so he would never feel judged by me.

I see myself quitting when I get more responsibilities, like a spouse a child or a more demanding job in other city or something similar, so I could use the little time left I would have for other hobbies with I also enjoy and are better than staying on the front of a computer, like hiking, riding a bicycle or drawing.

I have not felt as much satisfaction as other here in the forum has claimed to have felt during their sessions, I have only felt it is entertaining and it is very good to kill the time. The hours fly by when one is rolling dices or playing blackjack.

Yes, I think I would have missed on a lot of interesting information and entertainment, specially when comes to card games, which I personally like (also dices). I have even considered to buy a new pretty card set/poker set on the local store, important cards made of vinyl. 

I don't knows when I will allow my child to start gambling because I will watch their emotion first before allows them. It's important to prepare their emotion before they start gambling because they must have a prevention from the tempting of the gambling. If they can have that, I will not worry if they want to start gambling.

I don't knows when I will quit gambling but I will do it someday when I think that is my time to quit gambling. I am satisfy playing gambling so far I don't thinks much about my lose because that's the risks that I gets from gambling. If I don't knows about gambling, I thinks that will be okay because gambling is just a fun and not make money. I don't minds about the lose and I think if I am in the right time, I will have a chance to win.

When he has earned for himself then I will allow him to gamble. So as long as I still support him and cover his living expenses, don't ever hope that he can gamble in front of me, because it's not his right to gamble using the money I have - even though I've given it to him.


I can't be sure when I can stop gambling, whether it's at 40, 50, or more, it depends on my condition. If my health continues to decline, my finances suffer, or there are other responsibilities that I should fulfill, then maybe I will be able to stop gambling. And that might also apply to others, where they stop when circumstances force them to.

1. Once they already know how to make decisions on their own, because I can’t control them forever and what I can do is to guide them only.
2. I still plan to gamble when I retire, because this is the only option for me to become active.
3. Probably, the joy of satisfaction especially when you are winning.
4. Gambling is fun, so you might missed this if you are not into gambling.

Honestly, when it comes to kids and gambling, waiting until they’re old enough to really get what it means seems wise. It’s like waiting for them to mature into their taste in music or movies, right? It’s all about the right time and place.

And on stopping gambling, I guess it’s like any hobby, you do it for fun, and if it stops being fun or starts getting in the way of family movie nights or weekend adventures, then it’s probably time to hang up the dice.

Reflecting on the whole gambling journey, sure, there’ve been some highs that felt pretty good, but the best highs? Those come from the stuff money can’t buy. Like that unbeatable feeling when you’re laughing so hard with friends or family that you forget all your worries.

It’s funny, thinking about it this way makes you realize it’s the simple things and the people around us that make the real magic in life.

1. I can't resist the decisions even if they are my kids if they are making their own money and living under their own roof. Until that I am not going to encourage any unnecessary expenses.

2. Probably Never, You are bound to live your life to its fullest after retirement.

3. Nope.

4. I don't gamble every day and I am not making it a habit to spend money and time gambling, I do it only when I want too so it doesn't affect my life in any way.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?

Answer: many people who gamble today didn't really need their parents approval to do do, your child could be gambling at age 12, you wouldn't know. But to answer the question, gambling age is usually 18+ so at 18+ I believe anyone is old enough to gamble.

2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?

Answer: gambling is something I do for fun and recreation, so I don't think I have a specific time or day I plan to quit gambling, but I always tell myself that if it eventually gets to a time that I don't find gambling thrilling anymore, then I'll definitely quit because I won't have any use for gambling anymore. And this can happen anytime or anyday.


3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?

Answer: every single time I gamble, I achieve my purpose and goal for gambling, which is enjoying myself, I don't gamble for the purpose of making money so whether or not I win more money doesn't really matter, at the end of the day or at the end of every gambling session, it's still a big win and satisfactory for me regardless the outcome of the game.


4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?

Answer: well tbh I don't think my life would've been any different or better if I wasn't a gambler, yeah I admit that I've made quite a numerous amount of losses during my early days of gambling but still I can say that it wouldn't still have made any difference if I didn't lose that amount because I still recovered every single penny, not through gambling but other means.

1. I’m all for waiting until they’re adults. More than anything, it’s about ensuring they understand the value of money and the importance of responsible decision-making. It’s a great opportunity for a valuable life lesson when the time is right.


 2. When it comes to the idea of stopping gambling, I’d say it’s about balance. If there ever comes a time when it feels like it’s overshadowing the more important parts of life, like family time or personal goals, that might be the cue to reassess priorities. Life is all about finding that sweet spot!


 3. Reflecting on the impact of gambling, it’s had its moments of excitement for sure. It’s one of many experiences that add some spice to life, but I’ve found the truest satisfaction comes from non-material achievements and the joys of everyday life.


4. And if I had never gambled? I don’t think I’d feel like I missed out on anything essential. The best parts of life, after all, are about the connections we make and the growth we experience. Gambling’s just one of many experiences that can teach us a bit about risk and reward.

It’s all about perspective and keeping what’s truly important in view, especially when it comes to family and life’s real treasures.

1. I feel off kind of about this question since gambling is not a must. I even doubt if my children will be interested in gambling at all due to how I've raised them so far. I also do not let them know that aspect of me, I only watch sports in their presence. However, if they must gamble, none of them will be less than 25 years of age before they can do that to my knowledge.

2. I will not gamble forever, I've always known that, and since I am not gambling solely/desperately for the money, it will be easy for me to quit then. I don't see myself gambling after 65 years of age.

3. Well, this "satisfying level" of yours should be relative to something. If it is for the money, well, gambling has never been what I hope for a money-earning source, and if it is for the fun, yes, it has done its bit satisfactory sometimes.

4. Never! Gambling is an extra activity we do, it is not an essential aspect of life that missing it will have so much missed value.
