Topic: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? - page 9. (Read 1246 times)

1. As long as the child can earn his own money, the father will allow him to gamble as a freedom given to the child.

2. Not sure. However, the intention to stop is always there, it's just that we don't know when this will be done because until now we are still enjoying gambling.

3. The level of positive satisfaction does not exist, but I myself consider that when gambling can be disciplined and responsible, it is already a satisfaction.

4. Will not miss something even though I am not a gambler for example.

In a nutshell, gambling is a thing of choice and something that people get to engage in due to friend influence and peer pressure. My dad and his dad were not gamblers, but how did I become one? Probably because my maternal granddad was a gambler. That's to say, the fact that I am a gambler doesn't necessarily mean that my kids will or must also become gamblers too, and even ifI get married today and start giving birth, I would not do any gambling-related activities around my kind, and they would be raised in a disciplined way where they would have to understand the age at which they are supposed to do certain things.

In the past, I gambled every day and for long hours, but this time around, other activities have become more of a priority to me because I have realized that I need to pay more attention to what can pay my bills consistently and put food on the table, and gambling is never that activity that can do that. Therefore, I have turned into an occasional gambler, and with the way I gamble now, I don't even know what age I would find it very interesting to gamble again, but I believe that as long as I keep watching sports activities, I will always continue to gamble. 

Gambling is for fun, and once a person has that urge to gamble and they do so, it will definitely satisfy them. What more do you want? Even the wining that comes with it is very satisfying all the time. Not being a gambler would make one miss out on the fun of gaming. 

1. Kids must not gamble, but once they become an adult it is up to them whether they gamble or not, and a parent cannot stop them even if they want to.
2. I do not see why a person that has their gambling under control must quit an activity they like just because they are getting older.
3. If by this you mean a win big enough to leave gambling behind, this has not happened to me.
4. Since my gambling is under control there is nothing I missed because of it.

Really i will not want to specify any age limits to when i introduced gambling to my kids, this is because even at 18th kids can still make alot of mistakes when it comes to gambling so it goes beyond age aspect to maturity and the rest.

Gambling for me does not have a quite limit and that is because i can still enjoy playing games even at old age or decides to quite at younger age if i discover that gambling is having negatively effect on me at any time.

Well at some point it has, I once clear some important financial obligations like paying of school fees from my gambling winnings and also getting alot of provisions whenever I win a good amount in gambling.

The thing is that, it has been hard to clearly separate the amount of loses vs the amount in winning,  because in as much as I won alot from gambling in the past, same way I lose also and that makes me not to be able to say whether or have won more or lose more but ultimately I enjoy every but of it since I don't gamble beyond how much I can afford.

1. At 18 when he has the adult right. But I will always advice him or her about how dangerous gambling can be.
2. I can not quit gambling. As long as my brain can function good, I will continue to gamble.
3.  It has bad impact on me when I was addicted. But I am no more addicted and I like to gamble.
4. Gambling is not a necessity.

I would not like to see my child gambling, talk more of allowing him to gamble, because he might not be able to have self control over his gambling activities.

I cannot say when I will the quit gamble, but if I am no longer enjoying the fun in gamble, then I will quit. If I am still enjoying it even at old age, I might not quit.

Gamble can not give you any satisfaction, because you will always want to gamble often, no matter how discipline you are. You will alway lose no matter how smart you think you are. Only people that won big and invested the money would ha e achieved a satisfying level.

Not really.

First of all am afraid of replying some post because moderator may move it to off topic. but I pray he doesn't. Lolz

If you ask me I will say 18 years and above. because that is the age of any body to become a full citizen of any country. By then he would have been knowledgeable to know good and bad, right and left. also have the understanding of decision making without a third party interference

Gambling does not have an actual age to quit. It is unpredictable I may say I will quit at 50years and may got disappointed along the line but I think before 55years I should have stop gambling.

Sincerly speaking gambling is a kind of game that is unpredictable. though I have not cashed out big time but have achieved the little I can with my previous winning.

I  don't think so. If i have cashed out big time I would have said so.

Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?
