Have you become a responsible and ethical gambler, or do you still find subtle ways to increase your odds of winning?
What small actions have you taken to combat underage gambling in your locality or online?
Have you become a more financially literate and socially conscious gambler?

First, I am a very responsible gambler. Even I can not call myself a gambler because I spend little time weekly on gambling. I see gambling not as a way to earn money. I only do it just in some minutes or like 1 or 2 hours during weekend, or when I feel like doing it during the weekdays.

The underage people are very smart. You can see them use their father's or mother's identity to get verified on a gambling site without even their parents knowing. If you are in my country, you will see signboards with gambling ads. You will see ads on local YouTube videos and TV channels. If you go to betting agents, just stay there for a long time, you will suspect some people may be 16 or 17 years. Some betting ages just do not care because no one has been arrested for allowing underage people to bet in their shops. The government do not care because all they care for is tax.

Without gambling, I am financially literate. If it is about gambling, I am socially conscious about it. Just my friends know that I am gambling. I do not even go to betting agent for anything like that because I have my laptop and phone which even make gambling better for me in having privacy.

I think so. All I do is rest whenever my budget to gamble is done. Well, when it comes to odds, I don't go too crazy x5 to x10 for just a single bet for one team because that can be a crazy bet and it's percentage to win is low. I'd rather make a parlay or a same-game multi and put a little bit of money on it. IMO, that have a higher chance to win than in a single super underdog.

Nothing. I don't know who they are. I don't see any underage gambling in our place personally but I did hear some rumors about it.

I think more about the money. That's what changed when I became a gambler. And a disciplined one to control myself not to deposit again after losing the amount that is for gambling purposes only. When I win big amounts, I don't think twice about withdrawing, I do it as fast as I can and exit the money from the gambling site. Socially conscious? Nah. Do you mean what people may say about my gambling habits? I don't really care much about it because I know to myself that I am not crossing the line.

Not answering all the questions but I have some answers for gambling behavior, I knew about gambling since I was a child and first played it when I was under 18 and I knew it was illegal, even the game was then also illegal to play locally (it was a slot machine). But the process of growing up has many life lessons that make me realize that gambling is just a pure entertainment game, but in the face of greed, it can easily be corrupted and cause that person to fall. It just depends on each player's perception whether they really understand those things or simply approach them as a lead from outside social factors. I also come into contact with a lot of people who are addicted to gambling but perhaps through them I have also seen the valuable lesson that responsibility follows behavior.

In any case, no one forces anyone to do anything according to their nature, in the face of fear and control from ordinary manipulations, we can justify everything around us that controls us with gambling, I just consider it an entertainment game. Even using money as a means is just something we accept to participate in the game.

I think so because my gambling today depends on the rules that I have made, with boundaries, with the principle of gambling properly, and being able to stabilize emotions well without having to spend more money to gamble, because I want to get a win, on average my gambling today is regular, and I think it falls into responsible gambling.

One of them is, not talking about or showing gambling activities in front of minors who deserve to be gamblers, this may be trivial but most will imitate what adults do, it is also a conservative step in protecting children in our environment, besides that it is also like talking to the parents that the child interacts with gambling, this is also a form of concern and the parents will educate them much better after knowing that their children interact with gambling.

Of course finance is a major thing in life and socializing, because if not with good financial arrangements it will lead to bad results, especially if we interact with gambling, most gamblers are poor and many become poor, of course this will have a bad impact on the social stigma about us and gambling itself that gambling can be disastrous, but if we are financially healthy maybe that stigma will not exist.

Seems you are mistaken responsible gambling for being about your gambling even in a losing strategy. This is not responsible gambling as being strict in a wrong approach is rather irresponsibility because responsible gambling requires that an individual will be able to protect the capital and never to gamble with amount that one cannot afford to lose. Being flexible to adjust your game in order to increase the winning odds is being smart and responsible and not the other way round.

The advent of online gambling has made it difficult to even meet fellow gamblers. I hardly even visit physical shops, so there is no way to meet the underage gamblers to be able to talk to them. The best that can be done about that rest with the gambling companies; they have to refuse them access to their platform or shops and this will discourage some of them not all. Parents should also dk more to protect their children from gambling.

Having been active on this board and engaging in countless conversations about gambling, sports betting, online casinos, KYC, Crypto casinos, betting strategies, gambling addiction, football banters and the whole gambling experience so far, it raises some fascinating questions. I'd like to read the answers of the gambling community members. This is a safe space.
