Topic: What age bracket is perfect for gambling - page 7. (Read 2859 times)

Above 30 imo. People that are younger than 30 will likely to wager more than they could afford to lose (unless they are wise) and that will ruin their savings. With age people tend to gain wisdom and experience and that's when people realize they shouldn't go all-in. Also older people usually have more throw away money around. Meaning, that they can afford to lose a lot more than the youngsters. Perfect audience for the casinos.

Will be definitely varying on someone on how he would be handling out himself into those kind of situations where you own will will tell you on what you should gonna do

and since you do have your knowledge and awareness of your own then you can easily spot out if its good or bad.Actions will vary on how you do look at on a certain thing.

If you do treat it as part of leisure time then its just good but be sure that you wont really be making yourself get addicted.Chances to happen is still on 50% because the

more you engage with it the more probability of getting addicted.

Some has supported education as a means to make people right for anything, because it gives them responsibility and they do accordingly without failing out of emotions. Some disagree that education alone cant make anything good with gambling. In my understanding education is a must and that is the proper channel through which one can be successful. It can be of anything and everything including gambling.

Just think of being into educated gamble and a random choice. If lucky you might get a big win, but if you're an educated gambler you'll have a preplan that can be executed if your prediction goes wrong.

Education alone will not help because our education system is not that good which will be making us to be aware of efficient money handling things. I mean regardless of education level, how effectively we are handling funds and emotions must be more important factors to decide on what age gambling should be allowed. So basically after 30 years of old, people here are getting some awareness against money management.

In my opinion also (based on my efficient money handling capability), only after 30 years people should be allowed to gamble in my country so that they could effectively manage funds and all other required things to keep gambling only for entertainment purpose.

I think most of the common education of the previous generation is often teaching gambling since we were very young, sometimes our parents don't want to direct us to make money, they just thought it was a fun game for the kids but unfortunately, the happy mindset weakens as we mature with the financial pressures, gambling as a solution of choice when we have no other way. Maybe such classical education should be erased in our own time, adulthood automatically teaches them about gambling, adopting too early only increases the risk of an addict.

Education, perspective in life, and your status in life while you were young, these are the aspects that may enhance yourself on how do you look life. I am not a total gambler, nor being so engage in gambling but what i could only say about these matter was, even your father teaches you at early age, educate you about gambling it is you who would make a choice in your life. It may seem that engaging in gambling should have a bracket for perfect age and yes this might be tackled because gambling wasn't just gambling, it is more than that and the worst about it was the failure that might encounter which is inevitable that a matured person should handle.

Education, perspective or decisions are the basic things that make anyone have their own views about gambling. So, whatever the reason, I think there is nothing wrong because we are sure to find choices and different views and that is formed from the education of each individual. But about what age group is suitable for gambling, I guess it depends on how prepared they are to take the burden or the risks involved, because basically someone who starts gambling will definitely start with trial and error or just having fun. There is no definite age range, because, consciously or not, gambling is definitely done by most people from an early age.

I disagree.

It's not about the education you received, it's about your life perspective in such an early age. Let me explain it further. My father was a gambling addict as well, and whenever he came home, he'll beat me for no reason at all. So that's when I wonder why did he such things to me when I'm just an innocent child? that's when I realized that instead of getting back on him by doing the same thing that he does, like playing gambling so that if he sees me he would be pissed of and eventually he will feel the same thing when he was beating me for no reason.

But I didn't do that, instead I promise myself that I would be better, that I would not grow up like him. That tragedy that happened to me made me mature in a very young age. Therefore in my opinion, it is all about on your decision.

Well, it's quite a well-known fact(maybe? Don't have any source tbh, but it is more effective than carrot and stick imo) that violence is by far the easiest way to discipline someone, especially children. Some parents just look at the short term effects of physical discipline hence they don't really look at the long-term effects of what their actions would result in (or they're just that much of a bastards who don't care about their children).

Well imho, I'd suppose the parents just want to avoid such discussions to avoid influencing you negatively. Their methods may not be the best, but I think they want the best. Not that I can say it for myself, you have your own opinion tbh so might want to try to confront them instead of bearing it all to yourself.

Would you please stop being a Fool and stupid? is there any Parent that will want His Children Addicted in anything ? of course all parents will never allow their child to become addict , But it is the Child decision to break His Parents rules.

When you grow old and become a parents also, you will UInderstand what are you talking right now.
another stupidity , Not all parents know about what gambling is all about because many of them are not gambler at all so how can you explain things that you don't understand?
\
do it when you become parent.

Also worth adding that whenever I try to add an opinion of mine to the table, I get easily lambasted sith words that shame .e and they also bring up that I owe them that I am alive and in my mind whenever they say that, I wish that they did because I don't want to be their insurance policy when I start to make a lot of money.

Yes, parents need to educate their children regard any subject that may come up instead of punishing them just for being curious. It's part of human being to ask questions and have interest for the unknown, especially children, and it's parents' duty to clear these doubts in order to teach how to deal with these questions in the right way. The lack of teaching by parents can lead the child to addiction, because as you said, if he can't find answers for his questions at home he is going to search for it through another people and there lies the real danger.

In any country it seems that no parent wants their child to become addicted to gambling, then the parents will be tough if they find their child
gambling. I am like you have parents who cannot be discussed with all things related to gambling, if until I dare to ask about gambling. I will have
the same fate as you, so I can't discuss all things about gambling with my parents. This is a lesson for all of us that being a parent should not be
a distance from their child. It means being a good parent, you have to explain everything to your child, including the game of gambling. So that
our children do not get this information from other people, it may be that the information provided by others is misleading.

You have a really progressive parents then, I mean if I was to ask my parents about that thing, I would probably get myself beaten to a pulp. To me though, I would say that gambling should be allowed on the age where the individual can decide for themselves and have the ability to accept responsibility, it will be difficult to determine by age since people mature differently, maybe sticking to 18 will be enough.

It really depends on the kind of education that you receive, I remember that my father taught me about gambling games at an early age, he did it not because he wanted me to gamble but it was a lesson on probabilities, that is how I learned very early on that gambling as a way to make money was simply not going to happen for almost anyone because the probabilities are on the long term against you.

If the children can not play outdoor with their friends, we can join with our children and I am sure that will attract the attention of the other children and of course, their parents will also attract them to that. We should teach them that there is a time when they use their smartphone or watching television, but there is time for them to socialize with other people to balance their life when they grow up.

Actually, I feel pity if I watch children just focus on their smartphones and ignore people around them without communicate or talking about anything. That will not be good for their psychology when they grow up because that can make them can not open-minded to accept other people. The children need interaction with their friends and other people to feel that they are not alone and have another shoulder to tell their feeling. Children need guidance from their parents, so they do not feel alone and lost in their future.

I think that is what the parents' approach is due to their children and no matter if the situation is different from the past, the parents need to take care of their children. If the parents are not busy with themselves and still care for their children, their children will not go wrong. The parents and their children's communication is the important thing that the parents need to do because now, many parents seem to forget about that and only give money to their children.

We know that is possible but we need to question ourselves is this right? And I do not think so, most kids are not mature enough at such a young age to take responsible decisions when it comes to their money, to begin with we need to answer ourselves if they even have money that is truly theirs, after all the majority of kids that have some money do so because their parents gave them that money and since it is doubtful their parents gave them that money to explicit gamble then they do not even fulfil the minimum requirements to gamble as the money they could use for it is not even theirs.

What will the children learn from parents who gamble themselves? 
Parental control can only stop children from going the wrong way till parents are with their children watching them all the time but once their children are out for schools or colleges, their parents can't know what their children are doing. They may also learn about gambling from their friends and do it occasionally at first, then very frequently and become addicted to it.

When we talk about maturity with the involvement of gambling, I think it can provide awareness to the youth. There's  freedom to choose as age comes to legality as stated by the law. On our local places where gambling is rampantly happening, it's only strict on every range of age but on a registered gambling establishment.
Sad to say, those small time gambling or casual past time gambling bets was played by underaged young people.
How much more with online betting which easily be accessed through internet, without any guidance from parents.

Involvement of someone regardless of its age will vary on how someone would able to find a way for them to get involved with gambling.People should really be

on the right knowledge and just like what others said that parenting will really be a big thing should really be focused on because if children would be
exposed on gambling then the will really be on that possible problem with addiction.

We cant guard or observe them 100% but we should do our best as we can as a parent.
