Topic: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? - page 10. (Read 1461 times)

There should not be any retirement age, the way we don't have a retirement age from driving.

People are different and this is another example of a situation that should be analyzed case by case.
You can feel great gambling in your 70s, but your grandpa might not. He might have Alzheimer's, or dementia.
It's the same with any other activity. Some people retire early from their work because of health problems.

We should gamble for as long as we feel like we're on top of our game. You can be 30 years old and have a mental breakdown due to gambling that forces you to stop.

Of course they can have fun in other aspects of sports games or in any other things. I think you misunderstood my comment earlier. What led to my first comment before was your reply that I quote above again. You said "a reasonable old man should give up on gambling". That statement sounds as if it is bad for an old man to gamble. Going by that statement, a gambling old man is considered as unreasonable person. So, what I mean with my respond is that it's not a bad idea to continue gambling even at old age as long as it is not affecting you and derive joy in doing it. And yes, we can not deny the fact that we gamble to increase our purse but that should not be top priority else we may not find peace gambling especially when the odds are against us.

Yes, I will agree with you that old men should make the most of their old age. They've worked hard for decades and they deserve to enjoy their golden years to the fullest.

There is no doubt that elderly people can experience heart attacks or other health problems because, in gambling, they will encounter many surprises that may affect their health. Maybe elderly people will not go to casinos but will visit their friends' houses and tell stories about their daily lives and reminisce, and then take the time to gamble like in the past. Perhaps there are lighter rules because they won't gamble too hard and want to enjoy time while reminiscing about the past. That would be better. They would not experience health problems because they gamble to fill their free time. But if elderly people go to a casino, they probably won't be able to stand the sound of people gambling on the many gambling games.

For the problem of quitting yes that's right, some can stop instantly and some are very difficult to stop the activity. It depends on their awareness of gambling itself whether this activity gives them a useful good impact or even the opposite. But as we know that there is no good impact from the name of gambling, it will be good enough if you come with just looking for fun and not thinking about other things such as maybe making money in gambling. And besides that as usual probably most of the gamblers already know about the worst impact, I think I don't need to mention it because this is a common impact that many gamblers may have felt especially those who are addicted.

Yes I quite agree, the maturity factor will indeed be quite useful to make yourself realize that gambling is really useless and will only cause a lot of problems, none other than when you are an adult then you will be able to distinguish what is bad and what is good. And yes not only that, because realization can happen at any time regardless of whether you are an adult or not, of course, several other factors can also influence and can be a reason.

You're right, well, life begins at 40 as they say. But I think there's no age limit or rules about on what age should a gambler retired. Many gamblers specifically those Elite gamblers are still playing at the age of 60-80 yrs old, those are the one who spent time in gambling and treat it as their leisure. I think this topic should not be a big deal,  As long as you're capable to play or as long as you have your money, know your limitations and you have a self discipline then you're still allowed to play. Only minors are not allowed to gamble.

But there are other gamblers under the age of 40 who are unable to gamble because of the severe illness they have, even though they still want to gamble. There are such gambling addicts, who despite undergoing therapy for his illness.

But of course, it's just common sense. When you know that you're old, that's a sign that you should stop gambling instead; there's nothing wrong with it. It's better that you enjoy the rest of our days in this world with other things. Rather than spending money on casino gambling. That makes more sense than inside the casino.

Gambling only limits underage gamblers, but they do not place restrictions on seniors. This means that even if you are 60 or 80 years old, you can still gamble, but I'm sure not many of them have the desire to gamble at that age. Even if there were, I think they would just go to land-based casinos instead of online casinos, perhaps for therapy for their blurry eyes or something else instead of gambling in earnest.

Yes, I agree elder person who gambles are the one's that genuinely do that for fun and entertainment unlike young ages who gamble hunger for money and eventually didn't do well. Older age tend to gamble the money they only have like from pension and such, its okay for them whether they lose or win, same as you I have grandpa in the past that does gambling for his own satisfaction, that's why I learned about gambling games from my grandpa as he teach me bow to play more like a grandpa and grandson bonding, even without money at stake we play just for fun. So I think gambling is for every age as long as they want, gambling doesn't always have a money at stake, you cab enjoy it solely because of the bond and memory you will create while playing, i think that the beatiful side of gambling.

I also feel that the reason that old people would gamble is for additional money basically. Those who are old and receiving enough money from children and pension will not indulge in gambling because they really may not have need for money as such that what they have can't take care of. Basically, I have not seen an old age man gambling and moreover those few that I come across with are not rich but struggling old men.

I do not think there should be a limit for gambling, I think it retiring in gambling depends on the personal preference and financial capability.  Even if the person is not old if he is not capable to spend extra money for gambling, he must retire playing on gambling platform in order for him to support his and his family's need without any problem.

There are older people who is more than capable of spending money for gambling, I do not think we should limit them to play in gambling platform because of their age. As long as the person is having fun and is capable of spending money for gambling, they should continue to gamble regardless of age.

Gambling is an expensive hobby and fun method that has no limits other than the age limit specified by law and can be preferred by older people. Therefore, there is no age limit to stop gambling and older people can also gamble. When we look at the player base especially in physical casinos, the fact that there are more older than young individuals shows that many older people don't move away from gambling due to their age.

Although there is no maximum age limit for gambling, I think it should only be played in cases where the person doesn't feel bad in case of loss, doesn't lose himself/herself in gambling addiction and doesn't harm himself/herself by getting too excited. Since gambling causes a person to get excited or feel bad, only those who are not suitable for it should stay away from gambling when they get older.

Since gambling is not a job, there shouldn't be any discussion about retirement. You don't retire from watching TV, or reading books, or sunbathing. The only thing close to this would be stopping to partake in sport activities, but in that case, can we really talk about retiring. Imagine asking your grandpa if he retired from riding a bicycle? I know people who were in their 70s running, working out, doing all the things they used to do when they were young, but at slower pace.

I'm sure that as long as I can think straight I'll be doing all the things I do now, which includes using bitcoin and gambling.

Age does not prevent someone from gambling, but being aware of age may be a good idea if gambling has a major impact on your health and finances. Of course you can stop gambling whenever you want, in fact gambling doesn't have to make you addicted until you are old.

If you don't want to be addicted to gambling until your old age, then don't gamble for money. Think of gambling as a challenging game that can also make you have fun, even if you have to pay dearly for your losses. But of course, this is easier said than done, but you must have a way to stop gambling or reduce the intensity when you experience bad effects.

The right age to retire from gambling is when you have achieved peace, without being influenced by worldly things. which means, in this case we are old and can no longer remember much, especially regarding gambling. or, you have gained enlightenment that no longer involves worldly pleasures. Unfortunately, the second point is very difficult to realize. well, in your opinion, at what age should you retire,.. if you have the answer, just keep it to yourself.

Well, referring to what you said, there is nothing wrong with that. I agree, young people need sensation and fun.  however, fun is not just for the young. even, people in old age. The difference is, young people who engage in gambling sessions tend to be careless, reckless, and have emotional outbursts. and I, have been in that position. different from people who have reached adulthood. Apart from having fun in gambling, there are certain points that people of mature age have.

for example, when gambling, think about other things first. Let's take an example, sports betting. people of mature age. Usually, we always prioritize researching the teams that will be competing first. in fact, it can happen repeatedly. for young people, they are more likely to follow their feelings according to their wishes. especially, if you play slot games. as long as there is still money in their pockets, they can gamble until there is nothing left. However, not everything has to be specific. The point is, I have no concept of retirement in gambling. I just enjoy the flow, provided everything is under control.

For me, I think the age to retire from gambling should be the age when the brain stops wanting fun and the thrill of dopamine.
I think it's at the age when the sights go dull, and joint movement becomes a painful chore.

It could be for some, at the age where one gets married, and start having kids. Or maybe at an age where one moves into a new environment.

I don't think gambling has any required age to quit even after retirement. It could be in different forms, but what matters to some is the thrill of it.

Why should you retire from any hobby that you find fun? Gambling is fine for adults of all ages and should not have any sort of limit. The only possible problem I could foresee is losing your memory or rational decision making abilities that can happen to some people in the form of dementia. However by that point you would probably find it hard to even login to a gambling site or app, so the problem may solve itself in that sense. As long as you have a strong grasp of your budget and the self control to keep your gambling at a low level, so it doesn't effect you financially and is just considered a form of entertainment, then you should continue to do it for as long as you like.

Is the purpose of saving at a young age just to be able to gamble in old age? I don't think this is something important for us to fight for, if you don't have money then don't gamble... it's really a hassle and if we have enough savings then it would be better if we used the money for more useful things such as investing or saving funds. These are for children's educational needs or for other urgent needs. and is our life only about gambling? I don't think so, because there are still many things we can do in old age, which are more useful, such as expressing creativity in the form of art.

Gambling is not important, so it requires us to be able to prepare special funds so that we can always gamble. Gamble only when we have more money after fulfilling a need.

Excuse me but I didn't know that gambling is a full-time job where you gamble for 35 to 40 years and then you retire with your full benefits and pension waiting for you and for 401k in savings. If we have retirees in gambling, then we should also have people who receive pension but this is not. In fact the word retire sounds very weird.

There is an age to start gambling but there is no age to "retire" or "stop" gambling. If you actually gamble for fun then you should enjoy it doing it just like you enjoy taking a cup of coffee every morning.

You can retire whenever you want. There is no minimum or maximum age required to retire from gambling. If you feel like it, you can retire today. Also, one can be a gambler his whole life. If you are fit, if you have the money, and if you have the desire to gamble, then gamble. Who would stop you? Some may say old age is the best time for a gambler to retire. I say no. Gambling requires not only luck but also experience. The only way to reach that is to keep gambling until you age. Lastly, I would say, It's up to you, man! Do what you want with your life. Buy a car, buy a bike, buy a house, get married, have children, or be single, be agamble, or maybe not. Anything. 

First of all, I wanna say that gambling should be for entertainment purpose not for addiction. Now I wanna say that every person works for his livelihood for a certain age according to his body capacity and after that age, the person took retirement from his job or work. Then I would say that there is a basic condition of gambling and that is that you gamble with as much funds as you can afford to lose.
So now I can say that when you reach an age when you have to retire from your job or your income source is not the same as before I think you should take retirement from gambling also. Because that time you may not afford the funds to gamble. I don't think it is wise to risk your life by gambling in old age. Hopefully you understand when you have to retire from doing gambling, the time is when you can no longer afford the fund for gamble.
