Topic: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! - page 5. (Read 1623 times)

Every gambler has the desire to win and it cannot be denied that they must reduce this desire so that it doesn't get bigger. Every gambler must have good self-control so he doesn't always follow his desires. He must realize that gambling cannot always result in victory, but he can experience losses that will become bigger if he loses self-control. That's where he has to learn about responsibility, taking good care of himself while gambling and not using too much money. We have daily needs that we must fulfill and if we use all the money for gambling, we will not be able to fulfill them.

Playing gambling responsibly with full self-control is a must for every gambler so that they can prevent themselves from gambling problems and gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has become the biggest problem that every gambler must be able to overcome so that they do not spend all their money and do not return to gambling more often. By always implementing things like that, it can keep gamblers away from these problems and they can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Yes, I think I was a little lucky because this gambling addiction I mentioned occurred during my high school years and it didn't cause me to miss my studies for this reason. Although it is a little difficult to comment without experiencing something like addiction, I don't think that I would allow this addiction to disrupt my education or cause me to fail my education if it recurred during my university years but as I mentioned since it is an addiction, unfortunately, it is difficult to predict clearly without experiencing this situation.

If we talk about people who are sentenced to prison due to illegal betting, I definitely think that this is a situation that occurs by people's own choice. Illegal betting takes place entirely with the user's own will and would definitely not be something I would choose. This is a decision that will affect a person's life and can lead to the destruction of the lives of the people. It is absolutely very sad that a person's life changes negatively or becomes miserable for such a reason.

Yes it is true, gambling has existed since ancient times but maybe not as popular as it is now and maybe only certain people who used to know gambling, this activity will continue to exist and will never disappear until whenever, and as technology develops more sophisticated then yes as you say gambling is increasingly widespread everywhere, this activity is so transparent and even like a natural thing to do even though if we look at the negative side it will have a very bad impact on life and the same future. On the other hand, what is worried is that those who are still children are then involved in gambling, none other than that because the promotion of gambling has become easier and more widely found because of the support of the growing technology.

Of course and maybe we as a society can only take some precautions, especially in supervising children in various ways so that they do not have the opportunity to get involved in this gambling, because it is impossible if we reject something that moves according to the times. I hope that parents can be more assertive in taking some actions to prevent their children from entering gambling, because obviously this activity will have a very bad impact on the future of their children. One of the things that can be done is of course to limit the use of the phone so as not to see gambling promotions.

Well, this is how the addition gets into one's blood right from the teenage. The gambling system is so weak that even students who are less than the age specified for gambling can gamble with their pocket money. Strange that all this KYC system fails to recognize that minors are gambling but they only care about the money, don't they?

By the way, no kids can gamble until they are given the opportunity to gamble and in most cases, the parents should be held responsible if their kids are found gambling.

Once the kids get to the age of 18 and are independent, then we can say that they are gambling because they are responsible for their own action but before that, it is the duty of the parents to look after their activities and stop them if they found then indulging in activities not suitable for their age.

What we have to realize is that gambling has been around since our ancestors existed and will never disappear forever, and if we look at many children who are involved in gambling because they see what we saw when we were small until now and gamble.
It's just that as technology advances, gambling is getting easier to find and even so transparent that I think more children are involved in gambling than before technology developed.
And in this case we can't do anything and have to accept it because technological developments can change anything significantly. And those who play the most role in preventing our children from getting involved in gambling are parents who must always pay attention to their children when using gadgets and playing with anyone, and not carry out gambling activities in front of their children.

I don’t agree that children will automatically inherit what their parents they are doing. I grow with my father gamble and cigarettes a lot but I never try neither of it when I’m a child especially the cigarette. The only time I gambling is when I discover cryptocurrency since it’s very convenient to gamble here. This is my personal and not because I saw it to others.

We have our own choice whether we follow somebody or not despite we are with them closely. It’s their choice on gambling early just because they saw it since not all kids is interested on gambling but rather on just playing. Some kids want to be just kid.

You are lucky because you fought being addicted to gambling when you were still a student, others find it difficult to stop their gambling and even reach the point of not being able to finish their studies. Gambling becomes a bad influence on them so they can do bad things just because they can gamble. I know many people who are like this to be honest, some are in prison because they learn to do bad things to others, others are gambling illegally. I used to play with them in gambling when I was also a student. But because of gambling, their lives were ruined.

The gambling terminology that we are limited to by some authority is different from the nature of these games. There are many things that appear and exist in our lives since we were not yet born, but the truth is that while growing up, no one can guarantee that they will not know about competing with friends around them. Around learning or games that solve problems or teach skills in life. That habit tells us that gambling games will also operate and refer to competition, so don't try to eliminate or judge them as good/bad, I think it's simpler to raise awareness of their players, because whatever we find is not evil, even if we ourselves create that evil through these games.

I think it is not, not really, gambling is something we see and learn from and then do. We wouldn't be inventing gambling when we are kids, we are not doing that, betting your livelihood on a game is not something that would make sense for a kid, they would ask why would they do that, it wouldn't make sense. It's something that grown ups do to have fun, we do not have a fun life, we work all day, and relax at night then wake up and work all day again, so we want to watch some games and to enhance the fun we are getting from the game we would like to end up with some betting so that the game would be more fun to watch, because there is something down to that.

I believe that we need to arrange something that could make some sense for adults to just basically have like some game just back when we were kids. However, kids do not need that, they just go out and play, that's all they have, and they could just have fun with anything, even an empty box could be a spaceship, so they do not gamble and it is not inbuilt.

I don’t subscribe the idea of gambling being hereditary, I feel it’s more of what is developed over time. It’s normal for people to argue and also normal for kids to want to be right or the most correct person in an argument and at times, making the wrong kid feel hurt the most, you try to take something from him or her for arguing with you. That’s how it develops, from promises on big win, easy money and the exposure you get. That’s my opinion though, it ain’t hot much to do with hereditary as, it’s not in itself a trait and can’t be transferred in the genome sequence in hereditary.

Gambling is a habit, kids can also imitate or be influenced by their friends, just imagine when your friends smoke, for instance, you guys work hand in hand, don't you think that it will take discipline and God to stop you from indulging in the acf, parents also play a major role in this, if a father gambles and the kids continue to hear him say it open or see him with the paper print out of the bet, a day will come when they will want to know the exact stuff their dads is always holding or looking out for, this as a parents we should be mindful of what we do in the presence of our kids, as younger as they are, their brain is sharp, it can accommodate good and bad and store it for a long time, check your children from time to time to know what they do when you are not around when you find them wanting advice them and make understand with a reasonable instance to prove your point.

Yes, even though my gambling addiction occurred during my student years and I spent my pocket money gambling during my student years. I definitely think I was lucky because of this situation. Frankly, I think that if I were addicted to gambling and spent my salary gambling especially in these periods when I have a fixed salary, I would definitely feel very bad and have a very difficult time economically. Even though we feel bad in such situations because we are in a bad phase of our lives but it is definitely a great thing that such addictions were smaller and didn't occur in times when our financial status were not good.

Well, it was an equivalent to $2, that whole ticket price, and there were three of us, so it was like 70 cents
from each one of us. It was our lunch money, I guess. The funny part was that none of the three of us suggested to gamble again. We just won and moved on. What smart kids we were, huh?

It depends to a child if they want to take gambling seriously up until they get older, some are just playing and trying it for fun only just like what you did with your friends and cousins and I think that's normal because it's a typical game that everyone did once they have a bonding. I grew up having a family relatives who's into gambling since they are young up until now that they have their own families and that's one of the reason why I don't like to get involve in gambling because I saw how  become miserable their life is because they are lack in knowledge about how to use their money properly and lack of self limitations. We used to play card games with my cousins but I always remind them that playing cards is for our fun and bonding time only.

Yes, that's what I thought when I was little
it all comes back to each of us, most of us think of gambling as just entertainment and having fun so that when one of us wins, we still share and treat our friend who loses instead of being greedy, I also often gambled with friends in my childhood. betting with bets like a game of marbles betting money because we see adults doing it and we imitate it, but until now no one has ever really become a gambling addict

In fact, if we forbid our children from gambling, we don't know that they can do it out there, because we don't always stay with them all the time and destroy their privacy. The point is to arrange time with them to explain the dangers of gambling. If we see them ask what it is. gambling. bet money to get something, explain it well and don't forbid them from doing it. because not all children will continue to gamble like us adults.

In the country I reside gambling is most common among the youths yet it is not hereditary because majority of them play college soccer or football from there they begin to gain interest in watching European league matches on television which later metamorphosed them into gaining interest in gambling, I am aware of the fact that none of their parents is a gambler this is from personal experience as a college tutor, with reference to me I bet on soccer matches yet I didn't inherit it from my parents it stem out of my personal interest in the game as well as a ex player thus I gamble for fun.

That's a different kind of gambling. Just because you know about betting on things from an early age doesn't mean you will be interested in gambling when you grow up, that's now how it works, and one doesn't get addicted to the kind of bets you are talking about. We often do that with friends if two of us have different opinions about something or if there is an argument over something where there are different opinions shared by different people.

If I talk about personal experience, I remember that we used to do that a lot when we were kids, or even when we grew up, we still used to do that kind of betting between friends and cousins, etc., but, none of those who were involved are or were gambling addicts during their life journey so far. So, that gambling isn't what we call actual gambling.

the government is only acting depending in what people are pushing them to act but deep inside they care nothing
about youngsters gambling because they will add more taxes in those vent.

it can be hereditary if the kids are seeing their family playing/betting but if their addicted to gambling adult isn't
showing them so how they can learn about it? this is not in the blood mate.

Me as a Kid has lot of gambling understanding and exposure but believe me my parent knows nothing about gambling ,
 they don't even know how to gamble . so I learn it from a friend and community .

Many consider gambling to be hereditary but I think it is not only hereditary but close friends have a big role to play. I have met many gamblers who had no gamblers in their family. But he got addicted to gambling. His friend contributed to his involvement in gambling when I learned about and observed his addiction. People are naturally greedy for money, so if someone is lured with money, then he can become more and faster interested in that mater. Even a child can feel the need for money. Because of which they bet. Although children are always discouraged from gambling platforms but children are getting involved in gambling.

If the Australian government wants to abolish gambling ads, it can be seen that their intention is good because the number one beneficiary of what they are doing is children. In this day and age, even children are able to hold devices where they can watch ads on Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms connected to the internet.

That's why I support what the Australian government has done, and I hope other countries will imitate them that are not strict with online gambling casinos. So that our children do not have curiosity about what gambling is when they do it.
