Topic: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones - page 6. (Read 1565 times)

Exactly, I agree with your simple but clear opinion and in my opinion it is indeed a fact that most elderly people prefer the type of physical betting or online casino, one of the reasons that I think is quite reasonable is because usually someone who has entered old age they are quite difficult to be able to keep up with the times especially in terms of operating something digital, I don't know the problem but certainly old age is an age where thinking power has begun to weaken and maybe we also often see some old people who start senile or have difficulty remembering things as time goes by and maybe this is one of the reasons why the elderly prefer to gamble on the type of physical casino.

On the other hand as you said that the younger generation are those who are accustomed to technology which is because they were born when the times were quite developed which in the stage of development of their age was accompanied by the development of increasingly sophisticated times which made it easier for them in terms of adapting to the environment of technological advances. On the other hand as we know that now young people spend more time playing smart phones and maybe this can be used as a reason why they prefer something online or digital, especially in terms of gambling, but if the question is who gambles more between young people or the elderly then I think it is likely that young people are more involved in gambling supported by the ease of accessing unlimited online casinos.

In my country, after the state ban on gambling outside of designated areas, most gamblers play at online venues, so it is difficult to say what age groups are currently gambling. The only thing I firmly believe is that, as in other countries, women gamble much less than men.

Judging by the time when I was gambling in land-based casinos, there were almost all age categories of gamblers, from 18 years old to old people who can barely move, but occasionally visited the casino.  

This is probably a good question and I'd be interested in seeing statistics around it.  While I think younger gamblers are probably more likely to yeet their entire savings at a bet based on a feeling, older gamblers not only have more time, but also more money on their hands.  That's why when I walk into a casino, it isn't unusual to see a long line of elderly people in front of slot machines pulling away at that handle all day long.  I think over time, that probably drains a great deal of funds from these people, but I also think a lot of them are on fixed retirements and things where they can afford to lose money all day long.  Younger people may have a little more risk attached.

Oh yeah, you’re right about this one.
It’s what I see around more often and has been the model that surrounds the gambling population today. This is something that have been leveraged by the many sportbook that exists today and there are even more to come.
Many gamblers come into this space because of the believe that they could get something out of nothing. That’s what the accumulation option is for, being able to pile those odds and have a dollar or more on it for a stake and boom, it plays out, the game is won and you solve all your troubles. Sadly, this only happens once in a moon circle.

Nations with a more stable economy would find majority of its gambling population have a safe model to gamble and you would t make many gamblers. Some might build their life about their income while others would just want increase through gambling but there would be the few that do it for fun.

Of a truth what you have said is nothing different from the truth. I have been to places where I virtually notice all these you have spoken. Even on the street I see them mostly.  The point you have made pertaining women going to farm is very touching though. Irrespective of the fact that they are female gender, they go to the farm to making sure that their families feeds. While some of the male go to gambling spot as you have spoken for all they care is their ways to gamble and have fun.

Women are naturally caring and as such tends to making sure their family are alright irrespective of whatever their husbands endulge in. They feel less disturbed because they too can cater for the house and they go extra miles to work for survival. I believe most times they have Heart to Heart to with their husbands and agree to whatever they are doing that is why I do not bother most times to involve myself in husband and wife saga.

Finally, when it comes to who gamble most between the youths and elderly, I think the youths do gamble often than the elders because from experience, youths are very much inclined in technology and as such can gamble online without anybody noticing that. Those that goes to the offline casino do that as well but adults that I see sometimes are just few and what they do is just local gambling as you have said. They are not too technologically inclined so they do not bother going online to gamble but rather prefer offline which they can easily get along with.

However, of course everyone does not have a stable financial situation, there are those who are elderly but still have financial difficulties. I also think that with rich and poor elderly people, there are more poor people, therefore maybe there are not too many rich people who are old. considering that those who are old, in my opinion, already have good thoughts, where they will not gamble too excessively, even though they have quite a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they can enjoy the rest of their lives just by gambling.

I do not oppose your statement, because each country or region is different. I myself have a view that in my country, even in my environment, the people who gamble more are young people who still have unstable thinking and a high sense of curiosity, considering the existence of online gambling nowadays, I think this covers quite a lot of young people who nowadays can't even afford to gamble. far from cellphones and the internet, which makes it easy for them to be able to do anything with just a cellphone and the internet.

Let's see, without having any precise data on the subject, what I can see is that in physical betting sites, such as casinos, there are older people, while young people are more likely to bet with their mobile phones (or at least talk about it). If you think about it, besides the fact that it is logical because younger people are more accustomed to new technologies, young people also tend to have less money, and online you can place smaller bets.

Really I haven't hard anything of such as employee motivator to gamble,  although I have spoken or hard in one or two threads that the issue's of employee gambling terms and what the work place can be use for, although yeah not all work is like banks that doesn't grant access to other features on they employee system which makes it hard for anyone to use the system for anything other than providing the banking services that there are configured for, so in this kind of work place, the employees will fine it hard to gamble while at work even in they free time.

Yes, because online gambling ads has widely spread on all social media platforms, also spam ads via SMS, WhatsApp, Email, etc is also very massive.
Based on the statistics in my country, it is young people between aged 18 to 30 who play online gambling the most.
Older people prefer traditional gambling such as playing cards and lotteries but there are not as many young people who gamble online.

Developments in ancient times were very different from technological developments like today. The way parents used to indulge in gambling was in various ways, some of them were gambling on cockfighting, dominoes and even chess and so on. I think there will be an increasing number of gamblers among young people, those who have income or are old. Moreover, like now, everything is very easy to access without having to go far to bet. Just sitting at home with coffee and cigarettes can make you gamble.

Based on my observation in my local

 - more of the elderly gamble offline. They are not just gambling but some sort of socialization with their old friends.
 - more on the young and young adults gambling online. This is because they are exposed to new technologies and the internet making them prefer to gamble using their mobile phone, computers, etc.

The question who gambles more? Those who gamble online.

All categories of people are seen playing gambling in our country elderly people are more familiar with offline Elderly people are giving more preference to playing cards it is popular with them. But with the increase in the trend of online gambling the urge to gamble is more among the youth. Various rural sports including cricket-football and online gambling through casinos are more prevalent. Students of schools and colleges can easily play gambling from anywhere. Employees are participating in gambling in their free time after work.

I've seen many young people from the minorities to visit land based casinos in my country. The young people from my ethnicity aren't that active in offline gambling, maybe most of them are playing online. I can also assume that the middle aged people also prefer online gambling.
The old men in my country prefer sports betting and I've seen several old women playing slot machines in a land based casino.
Usually the old women prefer lotteries instead of hardcore gambling(poker, blackjack, roulette) or sports betting.
There's no way for me to tell which demographic is dominant, when it comes to gambling.

From my observations I have seen a lot of middle age people gambling more than the younger ones because the middle age gamblers are the ones who find more money then the younger people. The reasons why the older people are not more than the middle age gambler is because most of the older gamblers are wealthy and they have a lot of money, so those older men that gambles are gambling to be entertained by the games.
The reasons why some of the younger people gamble is because many of them love footballs. But the people who get addicted to gambling are the middle age gamblers. I don't know if I am wrong anyway.

I think that everything depends on the country and has to do with the level of education and general culture towards such things. When we talk about typical physical casinos, I can say that I see mostly middle-aged people there, I would say 30+, and when it comes to sports betting, there are still younger people.

However, now that gambling and sports betting are happening more and more online, it is difficult (without data) to estimate who uses such services more. What seems to me is that a lot of people who didn't have such activities before because they didn't want to be seen in physical branches have now taken advantage of the opportunity to gamble in the online world.

At the end of the day, gambling evokes the same emotion in people of any age, and there's nothing wrong with it as long as it's fun and doesn't become much more than that.

Are you sure its gambling? Because we have older men in my country that have all the free times in the world and they come together to play games but you won't ever see them placing money on these local games.

If money isn't their main target anymore it even make sense that they can engage in card games or Ludo games just to have some fun, because let's ask oursledves, how many older people are you seeing getting addicted to gambling?

Not many like the youths of today I bet, not needing money makes you think straight when it comes to gambling, so even if these older people want to have a taste of gambling again it is sure that they will do it in a responsible way, like youve said, money isn't the priority here.

Todays youth engage in gambling for the money only, nothing else.

Whether I don't know how many people who playing gambling or the younger ones play gamble more than the elders, I guess that numbers will be many. They like playing gambling because they feels that they can gets fun, especially if they playing gambling with their friends and they can have a chance to make money if they wins. But even if they can't wins, they can have fun with their funs and that's makes them keeps return to the casino to playing gambling. But with the presence of the internet now makes younger playing gambling using their gadgets so they don't have to go to casino. Even they can playing gambling with their friends in their rooms while they don't have any activities. I even meets some younger who playing gambling in public and they don't care if some people watch their gambling activity. I just worry if that can makes them addicted to gambling sooner or later.

On the other hand, elders, who are not much familiar with technologies, that conquered our world today, dont have much things to do. They can easily spend of lot of time gambling offline. In the retirement homes elder people often play cards, lotto, board games. They can do it without money involved, but can bet something else. We can say that young ones gamble online more than elderly ones, but offline gambling is more popular among people who are in age already. In the offline casinos (I am speaking about real casino, but not a room with slots and bar) I mostly see people 50+. Those people are not young, but cant be considered as elderly already also

In my country gambling is an illegal game so you can't gamble carelessly or go to offline casinos like countries that allow offline gambling or land-based casinos, but in my country there is online gambling, there are many online gambling sites, especially slot games and many also participate in it this game, but if I observe the people around me, not many parents play online gambling, most of them don't understand today's technology so they are a little behind, but the good news is that these parents don't understand online gambling, so they are still busy with their activities, whether farming or working to meet household needs compared to gambling where they cannot make money for sure and instead waste their money.

Most people who play online gambling are around the age of 20-35, meaning that age is the right age for gamblers, but they don't make gambling a bad habit, they still work to earn a living for their household needs, so they not rely on gambling or let women work to make ends meet the house is an unfair act. We must be able to draw a line between gambling and work so that the household continues to run stay mentally healthy.

For a moment I thought that you visited my country but as it seems this is the problem of every poor country, like mine.
Yeah, it's a sad fact but young people and middle-aged people gamble in online casinos every day. Old people, like those above 65, have no idea about online gambling but they collect together in squares, gardens and public places and play their favourite game backgammon, sometimes they play domino. You may ask, what do wives do? They work, they are the only major workforce. They usually migrate to other countries and take care of older people in exchange for money. That's the money they send back to countries and that's the money that their husbands and sons use to gamble.
