Yeah, I agree with that. If they don't make money for themselves yet then I don't think they have the right to gamble at all especially if the money they are using is from their parents.
Honestly, I did gamble when I was young and I learned a lot from it. There was even a time I was forced to borrow money from a friend even though I am shy when it comes to borrowing. I need it to pay that's why I did it. Using that experience, I don't want my kids to be in the same position someday. I don't want them borrowing money while they are young because they are supposed to be having fun without the need for too much money in their pockets. As a responsible parent, we must always be keen on what they are doing because we will never know when that could happen especially with the growth of gambling in this era.

Discipline is the most important thing in gambling. Setting limits helps a person to keep discipline. When you are gambling, your conscience goes on vacation (for the inexperienced), so that they do not set limits on the time they spend gambling and continue to play without limits. Since you will only be able to lose from uncontrolled gambling, it is natural for you to regret it after the game. If you can set a limit on money and time before gambling, you may not lose money beyond your means.

You need to know what is gambling? And what are the consequences of gambling? If you know the answers to these two questions and can accept them with faith, then you may not enter gambling or enter for entertainment. "Gambling can never make you money" The sooner you can accept it, the more you will be protected from losses.

Well if the teenager will resort to stealing funds from their parents then it’s really bad idea to gamble but if he is using the money which he saved from his allowance then there’s nothing wrong if it’s his way to get entertainment.

I’m not promoting gambling towards youth but I don’t find it bad either as long as it’s done on responsible way. I gamble during my teens too and play responsibly.

I enjoyed it because it gives me a chance to grow my money to increase my buying power.

Well gambling wasn't made to be harmful though, it only depends on the approach of the gambler, there some gamblers at there, that gambling has changed their lives for the better, and there are some at there they haven't experienced much losses in gambling, well they are some that are regular customer to losses in gambling.

While some gambling as ruined their lives due to approaching gambling wrongly, those that are gambling recklessly, just to hit the jackpot Fast. Because they believe the higher the odds the bigger the profit,neglecting the increased of risks.

Teenagers are very prone to peer pressure and are obsessed with fitting in so whatever is in “trend” they will go do that even if it might be harmful to them. I don’t think gambling is inherently harmful but when you are still a teenager who has no means of earning money and is still living under the roof of your parents then you should not gamble their money so recklessly. A teenager or a minor will never understand the risks and possible consequences of their actions so they should not involve themselves in gambling at such a young age

Yes, indeed not all experienced gamblers can be wise in making their decisions, sometimes there are also those who are experienced but they do not change their behavior for the better, instead they become more aggressive than before, in my opinion this is not just a saying but there are indeed people out there like this.

Apart from that, currently there are indeed many people who gamble, and it is not strange that many young people gamble because maybe that is because of the influence of their social circle which is currently certain that many young people gamble, in fact I am sure everyone must have friends who like to gamble and sometimes maybe he invites them to bet.

If that is happen to them, they will lose their responsibility in gambling which will lead them to losing their money. Playing gambling needs limitation to be responsible so we will not getting hook in the long run and getting addicted. But some people will not care about that because they still thinks that if they can playing gambling longer for some time, they will have a chance to win.

No, that will not happens easily for them because gambling will only for have fun. If they want to make money, they better to search for the other ways. That will give them possibility to make money rather than just playing gambling.

You are right, many gamblers get the wrong informations from an addicted gambler or someone who's gradually becoming an addicted gambler. However, even though someone is a novice to gamble he or she is supposed to know someone that's not gambling properly through their characters and not seek advice or directions from him/her,,, taking advice from an addicted gambler shows that the both parties are insane.
The best advise I can give to a gambler or new gambler is to let him or her know that gamble is a game of entertainment and not where to get quick money. Because the kind of information about gamble you give to a new/old gambler defines the kind of person you are.

Over the years learning from experience has been a normal action taken by wise people to ensure they don fall into tight situations for the 2nd time or even have terrible experiences that others have. Taking advise from experienced gambler is a good decision but I must say, not all experienced gambler are wise in their decisions though. So it's also good to cross check advices you get from anyone before Implementing them, lots of young gamblers get mislead by bad company of friends who might have been in the system for while, especially when they are somewhat addicted to gambling.

Of course, because if there are no limits then they will certainly be very easy to fall and get carried away until they finally experience addiction which they usually do not realize that they are trapped in a cycle of addiction, as you said that it is very easy for them to get trapped in any situation, simply when they win they will easily apply greed and when they lose then that is a situation where they will continue to chase their defeat, and usually the only situation that can make them stop is when they have run out of all their money at that time.

Basically I believe that most gamblers know about addiction but the problem is that most of them always find it difficult to apply various actions and plans that lead to limits and it is only natural that in the end they fall into addiction without realizing it.

Yeah right, those who didn't manage to place certain limitation is at risk getting addicted they can be attracted both side, either they are in the winning session or losing session without any control they are prone getting hook too much and in the long run they'll get addicted and unable to control their emotions.

You need to work on it first before stepping inside or before placing your first bet, you need to know your limitation and you need to be responsible with your action to avoid getting addicted.

Chasing victory or defeat also wanting to recover losses is a behavior that is indeed dangerous to oneself because it leads them to addiction and losses as well as other bad impacts that can occur, besides we know from the many people who do this action they always end up with disappointing and even sad cases such as losing large amounts of money or even losing their minds (stress).

In my opinion, people who are addicted will not be able to easily divert their desire to gamble, why do I say this because I have experienced this before but not anymore, and that is because of the suggestion.

When it comes on being responsible then it will really be that up to you on how you would be dealing up with things because on the time that you will be out of your limitation then this is where main issues do really come out specially when it comes to financial. Its really that important that you do really know on what you are doing because if you are thinking up that gambling is something that makes you rich then it will really be that making you desperate and this is really that very bad. Casinos will really be that normally do sorts of things that to keep their gamblers intact or will be continuing to play into their platform and its standard that they will be focusing into promotions and bonuses  on which they will really be that aggressive when it comes into this stance. We do know that on the time that they will really be getting hooked up with these bonuses then they will really be having a hard time on getting out because of those wagering requirements that the casino had been setting out.

Be responsible into the actions that you are taking then you wont really be finding any issues on dealing up with gambling as long you are holding with your limits then you should be just that fine but if you are that somewhat greedy on what you are doing then you will be finding up some issues about financial aspect because people will really be that mindful on the time or moment that you are experiencing some issues when it comes to finances but actually they could have done it earlier when bad things arent that happening first. Be sure that you do really know on what you are doing at least.

The curiosity will makes those search for more information and directly visit on the site. Those beginner will not know what it needs to be prepare before they gamble instead will try to playing gambling after deposit some money and even they don't read the ToS because they think that thing is not exist. Slowly they become addicted to gambling by keep visiting the site more often than before and deposit with more money. They don't think that playing gambling needs to have responsibility to avoids the addiction but they want to chase more winning as they see the chance to win will be there. But if they realize the risk to get addicted to gambling will not deeper in gambling because they don't want to see they will become addicted to gambling. They want to be responsible when playing gambling.

Life will be bored indeed but the problem is that people go extreme because they want to have fun, if everyone gamble moderately, there wouldn't be any form of addiction and cries with money that are lose to casino but people just want to buy their dream and cars with gambling money and after wasting everything on gambling without making anything at the end of the day, the addiction and frustrations becomes their friends until they are able to leave it.

Gambling responsibly and there is no harm that will find you, if you do the other way you will suffer the consequences. That's what it's, even alcohol has its own limit, when you drink responsibly, you wouldn't have any effects but when you do any how, you will see any how, you can become their regular customer that doesn't pay up but like to drink, that's how it own addiction is, we also have people that gamble without paying until police is force on them before they pay up, it's as a result of addiction.

I agree with you on the aspect you say some guys gamble from morning till night and of course that is not a good habit. I have seen some couples of guys who does that on a physical betting shop, always with a desktop on there screen. Some even pay to control a particular desktop til the fund is exhausted. Setting a stop time is good but it depends in the gambler per say. Because most people are still struggling for years.  They'v tried all methods but all to nothing avail but I Believe if he sticks to it and be more serious about it then he can overcome.

Chasing after loses is one of the most dangerous way of getting addicted as a gambler. It is highly uncontrollable and very hard to quit.  This chasing after loses can be controls by using the first strategy of setting stop time. When a gambler have started gambling over,  due to chasing after loses, there is need to stop and switch to other activities that will distract him from getting addicted.

My dad always tells me that because he's advising me on things of life or whatever angle the advice is heading to, it does not mean that I should follow them line to line, but what he is doing is trying to educate me based on the experience he has had, and I have the choice to compare it with what's currently happening right now in this our generation and make my decision based on what I think is best for me; the same is applicable to any form of advice. The listener is held responsible for whatever action that's taken after then.

Sharing suggestions and input is one of the actions that I think is quite positive because that way you will know something faster than you should, or what I mean is you don't need to experience a slump first in anything to find out that the action you want to take is wrong, so accepting suggestions and input from other people in my opinion is not a problem at all, but of course before you follow the advice you must first think about it and consider it from various sides, simply if you feel that the advice makes sense and is good to do for prevention then do or follow the advice, but if on the contrary if for example the advice tells you to do something that is too risky such as betting with a larger amount or telling you to continue gambling when you are in a winning or losing situation then of course it is better not to follow it.

But we must remember that gambling sites are a business so even though they say clearly that there will likely be limits set but we know that businesses sometimes do not look at others considering that the most important thing in this case is the profit of the business being run so that business actors in gambling will not care about limits or whatever because what is expected from the business that is running is profit.

So in this case we cannot emphasize to the site to make a limit because in the end it is not their responsibility when trying to make people not feel the negative effects of gambling including when players lose control of themselves and their money.
Self-control is purely our own that must be done regardless of anything other parties including those closest to us or even sites will not be able to limit ourselves in gambling control unless we do it ourselves.

In my opinion, advice must be listened to and of course advice is a statement that leads to something positive, not with a negative meaning. If the advice is positive, then we must listen to it and if necessary consider it, but it is different from advice because advice is more of a solution to consider, and whether we want to follow it or not is up to us. But with advice, I think it should be considered more. But we don't always have to follow what other people say, because we also have our own decisions in doing something, it's just that when someone gives advice or suggestions, it must be listened to carefully because that is also a way of respecting each other.
