Topic: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability (Read 6356 times)

Absolutely right.  Quite often, no words of persuasion or malicious scolding and reproaches towards a child will make him correct his behavior.  Or even that he would change his habits and aspirations.  I agree that the personal example of parents gives much more in raising children than some kind of verbal lessons and instructions.  Especially when there are serious differences in what adult parents do and what they say to instruct their child.  This, of course, fully applies to participation in gambling and the lottery, too, as in a relatively harmless version of gambling.
 In any case, the example of parents will be reproduced by children when they grow up and start their own families.

Every parent today must be more active in learning about technological developments to understand what their children are doing. That is the only thing they can do so they can supervise and approach their children to provide understanding and insight into what they are doing. With advances in technology and the many bad influences online, every parent must be aware of this so that it doesn't happen to their children. Parents must be able to keep up with technological developments. This is a task that is not easy because apart from parents now being very busy with their work, they also have to give love and understanding to their children that they also have to be careful when using the internet or when they hang out with their friends. This association with their friends can trigger them to do bad things that can make their lives fall apart, especially since we have seen what happens to teenagers today. Children must also be taught how to use their devices properly and correctly so that they do not try things that make them curious, especially if those things lead to something that could end their lives.

As parents, we cannot restrain them too much and tell them to do what we want, limiting things regarding our children's lives and future, because in the future they will be the ones who will be responsible for a better future. But of course as parents we want to give the best for our sons and daughters and help ensure that their lives are good, including in relation to their goals and aspirations.

However, there is an opinion that when gambling is done without good control. then this activity can become an inhibiting factor in achieving a goal and can damage a person's life. And because of that, this is where family education is important, education about using cellphones wisely and education about the negative impacts of gambling as well as other important learning that can help children's growth and development in finding their identity. And besides that, parents need supervision regarding their daily activities.

As responsible parent they should know how to detect the current activity of their children and they should know how the new technology work since if they careless with their children then they might be in bad shape knowing that hiding something negative activities can really compromise them. To avoid getting serious issue with their child and to protect them on worse situation they should know how to use those gadgets which has been used by their children so they know how to monitor them also no hiding of anything will happen. There's so many bad influence online so proper guidance is really important especially if they are dealing the risk of gambling industry. I know sometimes seeing how huge the prize in lottery makes them feel excited but if we make them understand about everything they need to know then maybe we can save us for getting any huge harm.

That is what teenagers experience today, where they use more advanced technology than their parents before. Meanwhile, parents cannot provide maximum supervision over their children and are less able to keep up with technological developments, so they seem to let their children use their devices freely. This means that teenage children do not receive education from their parents, so their children feel free and no one controls them. If their parents had taught them many things to protect themselves from the bad influences they encountered, their teenage children would not have been involved in illegal activities like we see today. Yes, parents must be able to educate their children well to keep up with developments that are very different from several years ago. Providing good education and knowledge that will be useful for their children in living their days is a must that every parent must do to protect their children well.

Do you mean all these cons are for gambling? I don't think so. Gambling is not as bad as that, am I not gambling? Are you not? Even though I do not know you in person, I know that with your education and experience, and for also striving to still be part of a campaign here means that you are not just frustrated like what you explained of gamblers. In gambling, we all have our choices, it is either we choose the good path or the bad path, and if we eventually choose the bad path, should we now blame everything on gambling? I don't think so. People are too greedy, unreasonable and insensitive towards them, that is some of the reasons why they are in the gambling mess they found themselves in. But like criminality, I don't even see the direct relationship between it and gambling, all I could see that could push people to criminality is desperation and frustration. Is that even the right answer to the situation if they are wise?

Now, is it gambling that made them desperate/frustrated or their foolishness towards it? And why is the same criminality not being mentioned in trading? Are they not both the means by which people can lose money, and even lose it very fast? So, I believe that people are only downgrading gambling too much, it is all about your choice, and if you are wise and smart enough, you will gamble and nothing bad will happen to you whether you lose or you gain. If you win, you will be happy and keep the cool and still continue to try your luck in it, and if you lose, you should keep the cool as well, unless you never planned your gambling well from the beginning where you need to exercise patience, plan, budget, and also follow the due principles of responsible gambling. It is all about you, bro. Those who are not gambling are even criminals, so it is not the direct factor to make someone bad in my opinion, it is our choice.

Parental neglect and social degradation stare us in the face. They let technology watch their kids and wonder why their wallets are lighter! Basic psychology, not rocket science. Teenagers' sponge minds absorb everything (including evil). Who will teach children about gambling's risks if you can't? Stop avoiding "if they cannot educate their children well." A must, not an if. You must protect your youngster from worldly vices. Talk about gambling's risks like crossing the street. Knowledge, not shelter, is the goal. Remember to model the conduct you want to see, not simply talk. Your deeds ring louder than your lottery warnings

Ah, yes, you are right. We forget about the existence of children and teenagers who can steal their parents' money to gamble. I read a thread about teenagers who stole and used the money to gamble. I don't know what results the teenager got, but his mother was certainly very disappointed with his son's attitude. Children who are teenagers are still very vulnerable and can easily get involved in gambling, especially if they get monthly money from their parents for their school needs, where they can use some or even all of the money to gamble. This is a risk that parents must face if they cannot educate their children well. Moreover, the relationships between teenagers today are so worrying because if they choose the wrong friends, their lives will change drastically to the point that their parents will not be able to recognize their own children. It started from telling his children to buy the lottery to his children buying the lottery using money stolen from their parents. It is deeply regretted.

By the way, this is a wonderful idea.  If indeed the government of any country, for example from Latin or Central America, decided to do what you are talking about, then in my opinion it would be not just great.  This could be said to be a small and very positive step in general in the direction of the development of civilization.  By the way, of course, in these countries there should be an orientation toward socialism or some version of a welfare state. 

But the experience of El Salvador shows us all that sometimes the highest authority of the country, in the case of El Salvador, this is, of course, President Bukele himself, sometimes make completely non-standard decisions, such as the legalization of Bitcoin.  So why shouldn’t other brave governments make some non-standard decisions if they clearly benefit the masses of the population of this country. 
Let's hope that some positive initiatives will appear in mass lottery options, too. 
Maybe, for example, Miley in Argentina will come up with something similar. 
Everything is possible.

It may be the time to make a firm proposal to our respective Governments so they implement a policy like that

The taxpayers would be happier, public revenue would increase, public services would improve, and who knows, maybe you'd be fortunate enough to win the lottery and retire early. It's like a win-win-win-win situation!

I don't think this measure would be implemented in Europe ever, but in other regions, like socialist regimes in LATAM, why not?

The lottery games was unique one compared to the other game in the gambling site.If your friend want to place a bet on the lottery,he should take the responsibility game to get the prize.The lottery possibilities of winning is like 1/10 of the gamblers who place the betting in the random game.The gamblers with the adult children are impacting their children along with their scope of winning,they also teach their children indirectly to the lottery game.The children will back to the lottery game in the future because of their parents impact on their gambling game.The lottery alone was able to the gambler for the big prizes.

It would be nice if all the taxes we pay became a coupon to compete for monthly lottery prizes, wouldn't it?
I believe that many people would stop complaining about the taxes they pay and the government would also collect more as the population itself would demand the issuance of a tax document for the products purchased and services received.

And to answer your question: Yes... I'm happy to buy a lottery ticket and know that part of the money is used for social actions, even though I bet little on lotteries.

About the odds, if the prize is big, then few people care about the chances of winning... it seems that most people just look at the prize and faithfully believe that the possibility of matching 6 numbers is "easy", it is That's why lotteries still exist despite few winning.

If we do speak about influence then it could really be that possible and this is something that you would really be able to show off on which this something negative specially if your kids or children saw on what you've been doing.If you are a gambler then they do have that kind of exposure on what are the things that you've been doing then most likely they would really be doing the same path.
This is why as a parent then you shouldnt really be irresponsible on the things that you do because once your kids do sees on what you are doing then expect that they would be that like you.
This isnt something that i could afford on looking at on which i do rather want to see my children do go into the right path of things.

In this discussion, we also forgot that the children of such parents, if they have already grown up to adolescence, can also begin to steal a little money from the family budget precisely in order to gamble so that their parents do not see it and so that their parents  wouldn't know about their game.  And on such teenagers, of course, the father - a gambler - has a stimulating effect, and such a teenager always finds an excuse for himself that he, too, is becoming like his father.  And he really becomes a gambler.  But of course, in a family where adult children are also involved in this process, scandals and quarrels are inevitable.  Such a family, of course, most likely breaks up.

But mostly, what happens in a family is that a woman manages her family's finances and tries to use her money to meet her family's needs. But if her husband still asks for money for his family's needs, that is the same as taking the money that the husband has given to his wife, which makes the family unable to survive. Indeed, there are differences in many countries regarding who manages family finances, but women usuallyo manage their finances. Regardless if the husband is an addict, this requires special treatment from all family members so that he can cure his gambling addiction. Otherwise, his family will suffer because their money is used for gambling. And yes, divorce will be the last resort between husband and wife, where their children will become victims of their father, who is a gambling addict. If the impact given by the father is very harsh, it can traumatize the children, so they may even hate their father for abandoning their children.

But here the question arises about how often a woman manages the family budget in full.  I think that in different countries with different traditions, religion and, in general, life rules and principles, this happens in completely different ways.  And in cases where the family budget is fully managed by a man, the woman’s husband, the picture may be completely different.  Just in this case, if a man is a gambler, a gambling addict, perhaps even at the stage of a psychological illness, then such a family is unlikely to survive at all. 
But there is also a plus. 
The divorce of parents in such a family leads to the fact that the mother and children are left alone.  And at least using the example of a good-for-nothing, stupid father - a gambler - a mother can raise children in such a family.  And in this case, children probably will not become avid gamers when they grow up.  In any case, the likelihood that children will ruin their own lives through gambling will be much less.

Many scenarios could happen, especially since they can happen in many countries with situations and conditions that are different from what we know. There may still be people who will not experience a gambling addiction like in the scenario above and it could be that women are more worried if they get into gambling because they have seen what happens to other family members. These people will probably be controlling in their family because they will try to hold onto the money rather than letting the man hold the money because they know that if the man holds the money, they can use it without any calculation. So when the man wants to buy lottery tickets or visit a casino to gamble, the woman will give enough money while the woman can still use the money for other things so that their family can still meet their daily needs. If that is the case, perhaps the gambling activities carried out by the men can still be controlled by the women because they are the dominant ones holding the money compared to the men. And if women can manage their money well and correctly, even if it's not a lot of money, they can manage their family finances unless the woman also buys lottery tickets.

  Well, perhaps you shouldn’t consider such a family from the point of view of what happens in a family where all family members are gamblers, it’s too tragic.  And it’s probably not entirely correct that the existence of such a family necessarily leads completely to disaster.  In such a family, some people are still more susceptible to the excitement of the game, and some, for example, the women in this family, are still less so.  This can somehow smooth out the family’s problems, which are caused by quite large expenditures of the family budget on these gambling entertainments.  It could be gambling in a casino, just an endless and massive purchase of lottery tickets.
 Of course, there is also a scenario where such a family falls apart and all its former family members become just lonely gamblers.  But it seems to me that this is all such a rare scenario.  Most likely, there is someone in the family who will care more about the children, their education and their health, their nutrition and, among other things, their leisure time.  And also make sure that children do not overuse gambling.
 And then everything will be fine in such a family.

The truth is I didn't know that people are taking the purchase of lottery and raffle tickets as an addiction, because I thought things were different, I personally have always thought that when it comes to raffles and lottery tickets it is different, I I'm not saying anything that things can be different if in the casinos there are people addicted to the games in the cansios, roulettes, slots, which is the most common, I see that these types of things are the ones that we can always show, to It has always been better that no type of addiction is possible, but the problem is there and I am sure it is when the person lacks money, and if they lack money, that is when the whole problem begins, I have always said that when money is missing and needs begin, that is when everything becomes more complicated, that is why money in a casino is very valuable , we must always take care of it, we should not be thinking that things can be done for the sake of being done or rather establish things as they are, taking care of him

I have always said in each thread that people should try it, if they do it is always better, but before playing they should establish the money they are willing to lose, the money that does not affect anything in their life so that they can play calmly. ,and they usually have all their money, impulses and can do whatever they want, but as long as they use the money willing to lose, but having the caution and discipline that when that money runs out that's where everything ends, there is no other choice. , it is a classic way of doing things, otherwise those who put more money, make deposits, make blunders, with the excuse of recovering what was lost, with the excuse of continuing to make profits, which cannot be He had the necessary luck, no, things must be as they are, and obviously if he wins, immediately withdraw, or invent to save it or risk it.

Like gambling buying too many lottery tickets can become an addiction. Nowadays it is seen that some people are increasing their inclination towards gambling lottery online games. Get addicted to this game crime is increasing day by day. Lottery or online games have seen many people become destitute in many cases. Addicted to these games many people have been seen to indulge in criminal activities without realizing it.
