Each time I visit some physical betting shop in my country, I usually observe how some elderly people make use of computers. I live in a country where most people 55 years and above don't have basic computer education. Many of them cannot use the mouse, keyboard, or other parts of the computer. This might be because most of them have not been exposed to computer education.

However, the introduction of online betting has forced most gamblers in my country to learn how to use the computer. It is now common to see some elderly people using the mouse and keyboard effectively. Most of them have never attended any computer education class but learned through observation. Others might have gone through some level of training from family or friends. I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?
Well, this actually is true, alot of persons (including young people and older people) never really went through any computer training institute, but today, are operating the computer system very fluently, like myself for example, I never went through any computer education, I only once encountered a guy in a cyber Cafe who showed me the basics, like how to login my time on the Cafe and how to log out, knowing, I simply from time to time visited the Cafe on my own, bought time, and then login, and I will just be trying out somethings on the computer, until my time expires, I continued like this until I learnt how to operate computer very well, and what was my reason for wanting to learn how to operate a computer at that time? It was Facebook.
Facebook was reigning in my area as at that time, and being a young hustling boy not able to afford a smart phone, cyber cafe was my top alternative to use to create and manage my own Facebook account back then.

So yeah, it's very understandable that many today are now able to operate computers due to their involvement in online gambling, and this actually is a very good thing, shows that even through gambling, people can learn to do things they have never done before, gain new knowledge and education of latest technologies and so on.

You are contradicting yourself because we are almost saying the same thing. I agree that the reason why most gamblers are now proficient in computer use is because they have access to it in gambling houses. So, it will not be wrong to say that the presence of computers in gambling shops contributes to computer education indirectly.
We are not saying the same thing because you are talking about gambling but I am talking about another thing but generalizing everything. Which means if gambling is not existing, but as computers are more used today, there would be more computer literacy among people. I have seen many people today that are now old or above 50 years of age but are not gambling but are able to use computers and phones.
it is a determination of any individual to make each choice of what he likes I don't know but I've seen someone who is 80 years old but it's continued to participate in gambling so that is a personal decision and the personal choice of anyone some persons retired in gambling when the cross 60 years some persons to gamble Until Death The Party them on Earth so gambling and the making use of computer it is a personal choice of living it is not necessarily a duty it is what you you feel like to do so I've seen many people from my own understanding and my own Theory Who participating gambling but they stop participating in gambling when they have noticed a lot of losses

Talking about the usage of computer it's better to remind us that phones, calculators, laptops are all computers. And the gambling house Op is talking about use the desktop computers or laptops to operate their business. If gambling wasn't done online, people would still use computer due to the widespread usage of computer across every society. Old people wouldn't miss out on this trend. Most of them use phone proficiently with no faults or mistakes.

While those who are using the computers found on gambling shops may be some old people who hardly use phones, many of them would still use computers for other purposes like education and research. Aside aged gamblers, lots of computer literates in same age category still exist and they don't gamble. Those people online gambling helped to learn how to operate a computer should only be counted lucky for being in a era where computers were now being used for gambling.

Yes it is really true online gambling house really make some computer to be easy to operate an understand to the owners that does not even have any idea on operating computer because of the much navigation on it prediction especially respond betting has really make people that doesn't even have it on anything concerning computer and how it's been operate and not do some navigation and operate computer freely without no stress this is because of the help of online gambling has been helping a lot making people to understand even other things of the online activities because most of the good people vision but since I'm playing as make it easy that you will come to the better option that you can gamble from your home, so many people I knew very well prefer online gambling and this are the people that I know that they don't even know anything about computer and they're not even like to involve themselves but they prefer online gaming because of the good activities on it and it has made them to understand computer forever

Not only easy to operate on computer, but also easy to operate on any kind of devices, such as; Android, Iphone, Macbook, etc. This is the real of computer-era, the online gambling house really made a simplicity for anyone to do gambling. I also see the same result in my country, much people who "lack of technology" starts to learn computer and any kind of devices so they can playing the online gambling, unfortunately most of them got addicted in this, but many influencers aware and fortunately give any educations regard this problem.

The point is, before do everything what we want to do, we should learn about the negative and positive side of our actions, so we can give a wise movement from everything what we do.

Yes, everything that involves the benefits of getting money will always have a negative side such as the risk of losing money one of them, and I think the majority of gamblers already know about this but what has always been the problem is that they always have difficulty in controlling themselves so that in the end they are easy to fall into when they see something that looks tempting or tempting. This means that there is no problem with gambling wherever you gamble, because in the end the most important thing is whether we want it or not or you have to be able to control gambling according to your abilities and not gambling that controls you.

The reason of course is because gambling involves money or requires everyone to spend money in order to be involved in gambling, while on the other hand there is a negative side that continues to lurk, namely the risk of losing money and because of this risk a gambler can fall into his own emotions. Therefore, it is always recommended to only bet small amounts, none other than because it is one of the actions that can prevent ourselves from getting emotional when it turns out that we lose, because after all, everyone does not like the name losing money, especially with a significant amount, meaning as you said that we must avoid all actions that are excessive.

Actually, what can be considered as a small amount solely depends on individuals and it Will varies from one individual to another considering the fact that our financial capabilities are different from one another and so do the amount that Will be allocated to gambling will be too, in most cases over confidence is what triggers gamblers to to gamble with a huge amount for getting that being confident or over confident doesn't guarantee a potential winning. However, the logic has always been that one should only invest the amount he or she can afford to lose whether the amount is huge or not it must come in agreement with your tolerance level.

Yes, of course, and that's why I don't talk about how little to bet on gambling, because I understand that most people have different levels of income in life so they can adjust everything according to their own abilities.

On the other hand, I will say that one of the reasons why a gambler has overconfidence in gambling winnings is usually because at the beginning of their involvement they managed to get a big win which they did not realize that the win happened by chance when luck came at the right time.

But not everyone has the same response in every time they respond to everything, meaning that they are some gamblers who do not use their common sense and rational mindset properly, because they should think wisely that there is nothing significant with just a little effort, even though they did manage to get the money but when we talk about gambling then obviously it is nothing more than a victory that happened by chance, meaning that this confidence grows significantly due to those who cannot use their common sense properly and wisely so they misunderstand.

It can be true for some traditional gambling platforms that usually have mobile apps available and there are also other mobile gambling apps that are only apps and have no web interfaces, and people use those for gambling as well as I have seen a lot of gamblers gambling on their phones using such apps.

Yes I also noticed more gamblers are preferring to gamble on their mobile phones through the Casino apps than to gambling on their website or go to a traditional casino. Online casino are making individuals to get use to using computers and other related devices as our mobile phones and tablets. Gambling online is increasing gambling activities and this is making computer education to increase. Alot of gamblers are getting familiar with how to use the casino apps.

More individuals are getting used to using computers as everything is now being used with computer as we are getting into a digital age. If your business doesn't use computer you'll not be getting alot of patronising from individuals that are not in the location that your physical business is located. Traditional casino aren't making the profits that online casinos are making therefore having an online casino is now better than operating a physical located casino.

Every person is eager to learn something new to keep pace with the times. However, nowadays, we see that most of the people are more interested in computer education to enjoy various job opportunities. Nowadays most of the work is done through online due to which people are taking up computer education. Moreover, as mobile phones have become more popular in the present era, older people are using mobile instead of taking computer education. Moreover, people don't give much importance to computer for gambling but mostly give importance to mobile because it can be taken anywhere and play gambling. Although all the work can be done with computer and very easily, but people do most of the gambling on mobile because of the convenience of carrying it everywhere. And I think more people use mobiles now than computers to gamble, and it's more accessible and convenient.
It is true that people today prefer to use cell phones compared to computers to play gambling because the mobility of effectiveness and efficiency is much better than using a computer, why people learn computers are more used to complete their work compared to gambling in my opinion, because it seems to me that it is not right if online gambling fosters the spirit of learning about computers, although maybe some people do it just for gambling but I also think that the use of cell phones is more massive both among young and old.
Do we have any stats that can provide that most people use their mobile phones for gambling these days? As far as cryptocurrency gambling is concerned, I believe this isn't true because cryptocurrency gambling platforms barely have an official mobile apps that one can use to gamble conveniently, and I don't think it is convenient to access the platform through a mobile browser and gamble from it and a computer gives you a much better experience.

It can be true for some traditional gambling platforms that usually have mobile apps available and there are also other mobile gambling apps that are only apps and have no web interfaces, and people use those for gambling as well as I have seen a lot of gamblers gambling on their phones using such apps.
The exact count is not yet available because there is no actual data, I myself am only limited to assuming based on seeing some of the behavior of people in my neighborhood and some other gamblers in my area that most of them do not have computers to do gambling, on average they use mobile browsers because it is much more flexible than using a computer to do gambling, so I personally use cellphones more than computers to access gambling, without applications.
Try to go out for a while and look at the gamblers in your neighborhood, how the gamblers in your neighborhood they access their gambling.

Actually, what can be considered as a small amount solely depends on individuals and it Will varies from one individual to another considering the fact that our financial capabilities are different from one another and so do the amount that Will be allocated to gambling will be too, in most cases over confidence is what triggers gamblers to to gamble with a huge amount for getting that being confident or over confident doesn't guarantee a potential winning. However, the logic has always been that one should only invest the amount he or she can afford to lose whether the amount is huge or not it must come in agreement with your tolerance level.

That's true, each person's financial situation is different, so the money allocated to gambling will not be completely the same, apart from that, the purpose of their gambling can be one of the things that influences the gambling they will do. Many of them gamble with very high self-confidence, where they have no doubts about gambling at all. They can still think positively because they think they can win from the gambling they are going to do, but of course defeat will dominate no matter how much confidence they have, because it is true that what you said does not guarantee the potential for winning. Moreover, with those who are very confident in the gambling that they will do, I think it will only make them continue to gamble because they will continue to have thoughts that they can win at the gambling that they will do, even though the gambling they have done has ended in defeat but because Their self-confidence is high, they can have the thought "maybe now is not the time to win, but maybe the next gambling can result in winning" and that will make them continue gambling even though they have experienced a losing streak.

Apart from that, even though they gamble with high self-confidence, it will not affect their education or knowledge in mastering computers, for example, someone who gambles with high self-confidence will be able to have better knowledge of cellphones or computers so that they can operate them. software well or even master a computer system or cell phone, it doesn't make sense. because the gambling they do will only make them suffer losses, and I think it has nothing to do with increasing computer knowledge or education even if they do online gambling using a computer.

Yes it means that maybe it is one of the positives that increases the knowledge and skills of the elderly which after they know and are involved in gambling especially in physical casinos they become able to operate computers because maybe they come there so often to gamble that they get knowledge about how to operate these devices, but on the other hand this is not proportional to the negative impact that can be caused by this activity which is that the elderly may be more aggressive in gambling which allows them to lose larger amounts of money especially when they are impulsive gamblers.

On the other hand there is no problem with gambling, and perhaps gaining knowledge on how to operate a computer for someone who has entered the elderly phase may be good but we will come back to the fact that many people here often say that they should be able to treat their gambling activities well by avoiding impulsive decisions.

I share the same sentiment with you as to this regard but however, that is one thing that should be expected as it is an obvious fact that to everything that has advantage there must be a disadvantage, personal gambling approach is very important as different people tend to approach gambling differently, it takes decipline for any one not to be carried away by emotions that comes with gambling by ensuring that your gambling activities are well monitored in order not to overly allocate, your time , energy and resources which can influence your life generally. It is a digital world every one is at the liberty of doing whatever they want with the computer but abuse of anything is not always good.

Gambling isn't really the best place to know or learn shit in my opinion, I'd argue even that if this is where you learnt how to use a computer or navigate the internet you might've shot yourself in the foot cause now you have to live with the fact that you lost significant amounts of money just cause.

I believe there could be a few exceptions with specific casino games, you know. Let us out the examples of poker onto the table... In my opinion, one could learn much about human behavior, cues and reading of body language when one starts with dive oneself into the world of poker. As one participates more and more into live tournaments and acquire the skills to read body language and cues, then it exists the possibility to apply the same to other part or aspects of our daily life.

Let us say you are trying to garbain for the price of something you would like to buy, because of the reading of body language, you could theorically know whether the buyer is giving you a fair price or otherwise, trying to take advantage of you.

What do you think?

Here's the thing, and I already talked about this months ago in a prior post, but everything that you can learn from gambling, everything that you can say "is a benefit of online gambling, or gambling thereof" is something that you can gain otherwise from a different source. In particular, computer literacy is literally taught for free amongst schools and even if you were an elderly person as in your case/post, the thing is you probably have grandkids or even caretakers who would be more than willing to teach you the ropes of how to operate a computer or navigate the internet, one that wouldn't require you having to spend or lose hundreds of dollars.

Gambling isn't really the best place to know or learn shit in my opinion, I'd argue even that if this is where you learnt how to use a computer or navigate the internet you might've shot yourself in the foot cause now you have to live with the fact that you lost significant amounts of money just cause.

This era revolves around computing, which is the reason most people always want to learn or utilize the computer at every given opportunity. Could remember when elderly people paid to be thought how to operate the computer. It all began this way and people needed to be advanced computer users to sort out their computing problems themselves. Looking at the gambling niche recently, you'd notice how fast people operate the computer, both young and old players.

You'd hardly see anybody seeking for assistance on operating his computer. Gambling actually helped in a way to help this people get more involved in using a computer. Because at their age, the old players, they don't have much reasons to use the computer. But, gambling activity still brings them back to the need of using properly a system. Although, many of them are only conversant with the gambling site, yet it still matters and validates Op's point.

It is nice to see eldery people learning how to use computer and being comfortable using it. However, I don't think that Gambling can be the main reason why those people have learned using computers,  because most of the things nowadays work with computer any daily basic activity occures the use of digital things.
Exactly, it is a kind of motivation but it's not the sole reason why the computer illiterates become literate in using computer. They will discover a lot of things with computer and one of it is how to gamble online and pay a visit to a casino without having to go outside and commute.

But it is quite interesting that old people are making efforts to gamble even online, it shows their dedication to it and their passion.
That's just their pastime I guess. But it's a good activity for them to explore more of it and they are for sure amazed and amused with what computers can do once it is connected to the web.

Many people said that the only people who would still use onsite gambling are only older people but now we can see them using online casinos as well.
It's two-ways for them. When they can't move that much far away from their homes just to go to the physical casino, they can gamble however they want and are free to visit any casino online because they know how to use computers nowadays and how to navigate it.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
Each time I visit some physical betting shop in my country, I usually observe how some elderly people make use of computers. I live in a country where most people 55 years and above don't have basic computer education. Many of them cannot use the mouse, keyboard, or other parts of the computer. This might be because most of them have not been exposed to computer education.
I don't really get the purpose of your post to be honest... My bad, don't get me wrong... Are you tryna say that people have been exposed more to computer knowledge because of the casino houses we have around? How does that even make sense to you?

Everytime a person gets exposure, he tends to either revive what he's learnt already, improvising it into an idea to cope. If he doesn't have any basic knowledge, he could still learn basic operational skills but, that has a limitation yunno. 9/10 times, people don't acquire computer skills through betting. This post is crap!
