Topic: Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting? - page 3. (Read 1446 times)

I agree you would be doing them more harm than benefit by introducing them to gambling.I would not do it unless in a very specific case like I saw some neighbor of mine do it.He never used to introduce elderly people to gambling except one case of one such person living alone and getting quite a bunch of money every month from his sons living abroad.He used to get bored and since he started passing time with gambling we don't see him sad anymore,he even looks more vivid and enjoying life more now at his age.

It is absolutely right that adults can understand things easily, in the case of elderly people it is delayed in old age they are quite disabled, they will not be able to understand betting strategies easily. Knowing the basic rules will prevent damage and increase your enjoyment of the game. For example, if you introduce older people it will be very difficult for them to know when to hit stand split or double down. Adults can control everything more easily than older people.

The elderly find it difficult to keep up with current technological developments and according to them, current technology is very advanced. Meanwhile, those who feel they have not followed technological developments from the start will not be able or have difficulty using it. And even though it has been explained many times, they probably won't understand it because they can't use it. Moreover, if we introduce online gambling, they might be even more confused about starting it. Therefore, we should not introduce online gambling to the elderly and let them do the activities they are used to.

First world country people may be "rich" numerically, but the cost of living there is also high balancing out the difference in numbers. However I do agree that the chance of gambling there is much higher as compared to the rest of the world at least in brick and mortar casinos. On online casinos I have seen third world country users also in high number since they are living in cities where physical casino might face legal troubles and thus dont exist.

For this second group the chance to play in casino is like an unfulfilled dream. For the older people there the casino would be a new thing to try and thus they might want to play. But this is number is small and most of the older people in developing countries are not in a shape to sit in front on a pc or mobile and play with their money.

Not with what country you are living in I guess, but with the culture. Such as in my country that even if people are not that wealthy, older individuals are hooked up with street gambling games e.g. card games, cockfighting, toss coins, and the likes. Bets aren't that big but gambling is gambling. And if it is inteoducing online betting with them then, only a few of them would be interested 'coz majority of elders in my area aren't tech savvy. Elders' source of money are either their monthly pension or from their child who provides for them, well anyway that's none of our business.

Point here probably is whether introducing this technology to them would do good or bad to them. And if that's the case then it depends on the gambler on how he/she will use this platform. It's on them whether they would be taking advantage of the convenience online gambling will give them.

Either you live on rich or poor country still you won't like if you see your parents especially if they are seniors to gamble. Its because as gambler itself you already know the consequences that's why you are avoiding them to gamble since you don't know on what will be the effect for them with this activity since sometimes old people don't know how to control their emotion since they might want to have fun and approach gambling in wrong way.

Its not about how you earn but rather how you try to influence your elders since if you are the reason on why they gamble and then they get broke maybe you will feel bad about what they are experiencing since for sure we would think that if we didn't teach them to gamble for sure they are more fine on other things they have done.

Depends on where you live, if you live in the third wold or poor countries, any parents won't want to see one of their family become a gambler because they know they're not rich and still struggle to build wealth. Many family didn't even earn enough, that's make them live from paycheck to paycheck, so how can they have money to gamble in the first place?

If you live in first world or rich countries, you have many options because you earn enough, either you use your money for investment, entertainment, both etc.

Not many parents really gamble nowadays because gambling is dominated by young people, I myself have never introduced online gambling to someone who is elderly because it can trigger them to be curious and can cause addiction, parents sometimes don't. think too much about the risks because things seem to be a good challenge for them besides that they don't feel lonely because there are activities that can keep them busy, therefore I would rather not introduce online gambling to elderly people.

It is true that when an elderly person is susceptible to disease, especially high blood pressure and heart attacks. Gambling games can trigger this disease if parents gamble and risk all their money and lose, this is of course very life-threatening because they don't think about the risks they will face so they experience things that can cause disease to themselves.

And this is what i dont like and this is one of the reasons on why i dont make myself loving on making some suggestions into other people just like on what been mentioned above by other people that it would
be better that you should really be remaining still and would really be that minding your own business rather than on making yourself that too love on involving someones life or activity.
Elderly people might really be that experienced but due to lack of knowledge and their senses are becoming that dull then it cant be denied that it might be affecting their decisioning factor on some things around.
What if you have seen that old mans life wrecked by gambling just because you had made out those recommendations earlier. What you have felt?

You're right about that, for me the main thing about presenting deals that are with money is that the person asks, because as you say, one can talk about a casino, or cryptocurrency in general if the person does it on their behalf and they lose, then It is their problem and they are not going to blame those people for doing it, so what I can say about this is that every time we recommend something we have to say first of all the risks and if the person is willing to do it and to assume that That can happen and if he loses then it should be the total responsibility of the person but not the person who is receiving it, that is the main thing, now, things can manifest themselves in that way as long as the person asks.

But it is clear, I have always said, whatever dealing with money one has to be very careful , lest people think that one is going to take advantage of their money to achieve personal benefits or something like that, because money and People sometimes change with respect to friendship.

When I talk to friends, they are generally of all ages, I have older friends, but when I talk to them about casinos it is simple, they only trust casinos that are physical, and when I talk to them about bitcoin and all that, well, they are people who Sometimes they don't accept it, they say that it's a lie, that it's very dangerous, that money can't be handled like that except in real life, older people are sometimes a little stubborn, but as some people talk, they at least go. Thinking and keeping it in mind, I already consider that a prudent guy can also ask if that is viable or not, I know it because it has happened to me, but I do recommend that companies buy bitcoin, the truth is I tell you that I do not recommend it because I want them to earn money, yes, and I know it is enough for them to decide, you don't have to do much either.

The blaming nature of people is one of the biggest reasons why I don't recommend things that involve finances to people because I know that there is always a possibility of them blaming you for any loss that they have faced in the venture you have directed them towards while they wouldn't give you credit if they manage to profit from it. It's a bad thing but unfortunately, it's found in a lot of people and it makes them bad people even if they aren't generally bad.

This is why, one should never recommend gambling or cryptocurrencies or anything that might require them to use money unless they ask about them upfront, if they do ask about them themselves, that is when you can go ahead and give them some details but make sure to tell them about the risks involved.

I think that people in their way of seeing things have to be very emphatic in what they want, I think that here where I live there is that type of person who already has all that free time because they are very retired and yes, they have a lot of time. free, but I consider that it is time to rest to do what they want, because they have already contributed with their work in their time, that is well deserved, therefore a mapr person who wants to have fun in any way has to do it because the bears have If they are so fair, then this makes things change in their way of being and they can focus on doing things better. I have my grandmother alive on my mother's side, but she is almost 80 years old and is very delicate, and whatever she can have fun with, I support her, and that is something one tries to do, my grandfather died this year. year, because what he liked most was drinking alcohol and he really liked baseball, and when he stopped drinking beer, because he had stomach cancer, and when everything he liked was taken away, he died.

But what does he think when he takes away something that an older adult really likes? They become depressed, they begin to feel very bad, because they become like children again, that's what happens with them, they are very delicate, they become little again, so they must treat themselves and let them do what they like, If they like the casino, no matter what, they have the right to have a good time in what they like, but as long as things are controlled, then given this, many things have to be done, first of all, control them so that it is not going to be addict, because that is bad, however I don't think so, they are people who sometimes control themselves very well and they don't like their money going away just like that, because they like to have fun, I think that's what it must be done.

I absolutely agree with you. Low stake gambling can be like a medicine for older people. A medicine that costs much less than what they are usually taking, but at the same time more effective too. I'm not going around telling older people to gamble, but I know that I don't actually need to do that. All of them know what gambling is and using it for their entertainment, and I think they are doing the right thing.

You gotta take into consideration that your grandma's probably known about hand-cranked slots all her life and comparing flat-virtual slots against something that you've known all your life you probably would choose the former any day too. Not to mention the fact that there's just something about personal experience beyond the phone screen that gets people going which is probably the reason why even us Gen Zs prefer real-lie experiences over virtual equivalents.

In any case, I do have a good example of someone I tried introducing into virtual gamble, which is my aunt (she's not that old but she's pushing 50 by now so still considerably older than me). She's good with cards and is used to playing Tong-its which if I'm not mistaken is a variation of the poker system, tong-its being one of the most played card games amongst card players here in the Philippines. I introduced her to virtual Chinese Poker and Tong-its games that do not ask for real-money wagers first as a means to have some family bonding along with my cousins, until she asked me if there's versions of Tong-its and Chinese Pokers that involve betting digital cash and winning it as well. I gave her good examples and taught her how to navigate through the whole ordeal and while I'm not particularly sure about her gambling disposition, I could safely say that I was able to introduce her into virtual gambling, which she says she plays when work's slow and she's bored.

Well, I have older friends who gamble sometimes, and I tried to introduce them to crypto in general (I tried to explain what crypto is and get them interested in it). And of course, I tried to show them crypto gambling space, I even gave some of them some coins to try different things, but I didn't have much success, they did try some sites and games, but I think they didn't understand crypto, they didn't believe that cryptocurrencies could do something more in this world so they didn't pay much attention to crypto gambling sites. But they remember me and my words whenever they hear how Bitcoin price is going up...

As for me, I wouldn't engage in doing so, I will rather vested my efforts on the young adults whom I know will be able to afford making gambling with their whole energy and vibes, take risk and take responsibility for every of their performance, as for the adult ones, I will I stead get them a game to use and be playing instead of online gambling, how can they cope with the betting strategies and the financial demands involved, some can't even read the screen on a device because of old age, which makes it not a good idea to me.

Do you think suggesting gambling to your uncle is the best idea just because his family wants him to stop smoking? I know there is nothing bad in gambling because I am also a gambler, but the problem is, won’t your uncle end up being addicted to gambling? In case your uncle ends up being an addicted gambler, how are you going to solve the problem? Or do you think you can easily stop him from gambling? As you have introduced your uncle to gambling, you should make sure you tell him the necessary things he should know about gambling. You shouldn’t just guide him on how to gamble, you should also tell him the risks involved in gambling, and he shouldn’t gamble for the sake of money alone.
 
If I were you, I would rather introduce people like this to cryptocurrency trading than gambling, because it will be kind of difficult to become addicted to trading, but since you already introduced him to gambling, then you have to monitor him.

In my story my father reaches me how to do the safe gambling at my younger age.If the old age people doesn’t involve in the gambling we can teach them gambling.But in my family my father is the gambler from his younger age.During my school days,their was huge fight between my father and mother for the gambling games.Because at the young age my father is not the responsible gambler.He had loss our property and vehicle at his younger age.But when I had started my graduation,my father became the experienced gambler.He also teach me his tactics and some basic knowledge about the gambling which I was following till now.

Each person is unique and different and when it comes to age then we cant really say that older people are really that having that easy change of mood and personality but to expect then they would really be on this way and it is really just that right that you should really be tending to avoid those things on which we know that it would be something influencing for them to do the bad or wrong decisions. The thing i dont like
on having those recommendations is that i dont really like on getting blamed in the end and i dont really like the feeling that i have seen someone who had messed up their lives just because of the things that
you have recommended and as we do all know that even those old people are  retired and having that money that they could play with, it would never be appealing for us to see that they are losing that much.

You are right that during the Covid pandemic yesterday, this further increased online gambling activities, so that online gambling has become so popular to this day. And talking about advertising, nowadays online gambling advertising can no longer be stopped, especially on social media, online gambling advertising is like a mushroom that is rampant everywhere. Meanwhile, in this digital era, it is impossible if someone does not know about the virtual world, except for those who are technologically illiterate, such as the elderly.


Apart from that, it may be quite difficult for elderly people to get to know online gambling, apart from being technologically illiterate, but their understanding and memory are starting to wane, so it will be quite difficult to introduce gambling to them, not to mention their poor eyesight. has started to run away and with all its shortcomings it is very worrying that later when he joins online gambling and bets in it, he will make mistakes that he does not realize, such as increasing the bet amount accidentally or something else.
