I don't think the old man is addicted; he is just doing what he likes and what makes him cope with loneliness. As you said, he is a pensioner. I don't think that he will spend all the money he has, especially since he is alone now. He is just enjoying and entertaining himself; it can't be helped. But I get why you are concerned; he is old and alone. Maybe you could talk to him often or play with him the gambling games, such as card games or such.
Well, its good that you show concern over the old man, but I think it is not a good thing to force him to stop or to limit the old man, as I think the old man knows what his limit is. Just be there and watch over the old man and let him enjoy what is accompanying him. Just gambling is more popular with old age, and it is incredible that he is updated to online gambling; it is convenient for him.
Topic: What's the best advice or should I just let him - page 4. (Read 754 times)
I'd like to ask the community I have a newly moved neighbor he is a widowed senior citizen and he lives alone with a house helper, all his children are now professionals and he is a pensioner, we talked a lot about many things I just noticed that he is very active on online casinos and other gambling activities like lotto and cock fighting every weekend, his children do not know his activities and I'm afraid he is getting addicted.
Maybe as a senior and widowed, perhaps he is just enjoying his life? And it seems from the way you portray him, he is rich with just a house helper with him all the time. So he can pay that house helper to be with him and so maybe he has nothing to do in his everyday life. His children are no longer with him, so just imagine you were like in the 70's and you are alone then of course you will think of some ways and maybe gambling is his escape in the last remaining days of his life.
Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
Very hard to advise mate, it's really up to you. Maybe you can tell his children in a nice way about their parents playing and that your concern is that he might turn into a gambling addict, simply as that. So it's really up to them on how they are going to react, if they are professionals already maybe they know what is up already or perhaps they have an idea that their father is already on gambling.

It’s better to bring this to the forum,because you will get the better advice from the more experienced people.Since his children was the professional now,So it my opinion he wa not suffering for the money perpesctive.Because the money was consider on giving the advice to this person.So the family not suffer with the money problem.So you should allow the senior citizen to live their life happily at the end of his life.Because with your words,he must be experienced gambler with huge skills in online casinos and cock fighting.Because we don’t know his experience will help to win the jackpot money,which help his children after his dead.

That's lovely idea. Go ahead with him and tell him about the disadvantages with his gambling so far. But since he has such money to care for himself and gamble, yes it is unwise to force or convince anyone to buy and invest in Bitcoin but nice to educate them on the merits that comes with the utilization of Bitcoin. Why not take this chance to throw that his way?
Buy those little SATs would be peng idea even if his kids are professionals, he can accumulate em and give them as birthday gifts to his grand children. This is just my idea though.

I always believe that I shouldn't put my nose on other people's business since I believe that this kind of action may start a conflict between individual. An advice shouldn't be given when not asked, but a reminder in a respectful tone can be appreciated by people.
If are too concern on your neighbor, you should remind her in a very respectable way, or if you happen to know her family, you should tell her family and let her family be the one to talk with her about her gambling activity.

If he does that every weekend, give it to him. That's not a sign of him being addicted to it unless he starts doing it every day. And for a retiree, let him enjoy his money because you're meddling with what he does during his retirement. Better give him his deserved peace and do everything he wants to do.Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
He's got his own money, he's not touching others' money to sustain his cockfighting and lotto betting. So, just leave the old man on his own and you have said that he's got professional children. That means that leave that obligation to his children if ever that he's going to that point of being addicted.
Other than that, with these situations, we just have to enjoy every single thing that we have when we're old because you'll never know what will come by tomorrow and as long as he's also meddling with other people, that's fine whether he gamble every weekend either with lotto or cockfighting, horse racing or anything.
Old age is not the time to go astray in gambling so I will check if he is still in control or has gone astray and lost control of himself, I think I will get a hint if his health is deteriorating because he will keep up both in his health and finances and I will just let her children to advice him with this.
I will just anonymously tell his children that their father is gambling too much, but if I see that he is still okay I will just casually warn him by telling him my experience on going too much on addiction, old people sometimes listen to people who are close to him and show interest on what they are doing.

I would leave the old man alone,I believe he to have enough money to enjoy his weekends of betting and since he is active most of the time during weekends it means that he is not addicted yet although this does not mean he can be free of the threat of addiction.
If he finds joy in these online casinos why to stop such joy from him when we know that when people are pensioners they have not that much more to live so I would talk to him about the gambling in general and I would not stop him from enjoying life in these last years of his life.

I don't see any reason you should go tell him anything except he is going worst by selling off his property or cars to gamble, the main goal is that if he finds pleasure doing it without becoming an addicted gambler then there's no essence meeting him or trying to interfere in his personal business except he opens a door for you to come into his personal affair before you could start pitching it little by little without using all arrogancy or boldness to tell him about what he is doing is wrong especially with his age bracket he don't mind calling 911 for you.

Just let him be, i know that deep inside that we do have that kind of concern but since its his money or do came from his children then we dont have the rights on telling him on what he should gonna do.Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
If he do find out that playing is really something that do enjoys him then its his choice. He knew that he could be able to sustain himself considering on having pension plus his children are already having those stable work on which there's something that he would worry about but instead he would be thinking about having those entertainment and enjoying himself into his retirement days.
We are really just that too judgmental on some point on which presuming that people would easily get that addicted and basing on what we do see then we could make out those kind of conclusive approach without even trying out to realize that there are people who are really just spending their money for fun but not really that totally addicted.
I would worry more about the domestic service girl!
They say around these parts "an old dog barks lying down" if he doesn't get up, leave him alone. In any case, the mistake, if something happens, is his children's, good luck to the old man, which that someone like you cares.

If you care enough about the person, then there is nothing wrong if you approach the person further so that you can give advice easily and the person can accept the advice you give. Because keep in mind that sometimes there are some gamblers who often show an arrogant, competitive, overconfident attitude and lack of empathy, so they often ignore people who try to advise them on their behavior.
And my advice is, in order to address your concerns about this person, then do your best to bring them to their senses. But remember this must be done with a good approach and strategy. because if not, apart from your efforts will fail but you will also be hated by the person. And if in the future your efforts fail, then it's okay not to interfere too much with other people's affairs and just pray from a distance that he quickly realizes from a bad behavior that he did. However, I hope that you can do this well.

Op I think you need to get more closer to him to find out if he is addicted already to gambling before considering how to help him out otherwise you may decide to approach him but he may see it as an insult since you said he's doing things he never enjoyed doing at his young age. If you find out that he is an addited gambler, you can advise him by letting him know the dangerous effects of addiction, you can win his heart by pointing out the disadvantages of gambling to him I believe he will see the need to stop gambling if you give him a very good explanation.
You can also introduce him to a better place to start saving the money he uses for gambling once he sees needs to save, teach him things about Bitcoin who knows if he will be willing to learn and some day he may have the interest to invest in Bitcoin instead of gambling with his fund.
Well I think he is actually just doing it for fun and to keep himself busy since he has no one to engage with in activities or discussion but the fact that you said he is almost getting addicted to gambling seems far fetched though. Although as senior citizens and age factor, he would be very sensitive to your plight but you can still do it in a ca way buy just being jovial and enteracting with him as a kind of opinion on how to cut the time and funds he spends on gambling maybe you can introduce him to a flexible activity to while away his gambling time and if you must do this, possibly let his children know and seek their consent so that if it happens he reports you to his children, they too are already aware and would overlook it without getting worried over it otherwise they might likely press some charges against you.

Unless you see him playing with large amounts of money that you know he cannot afford, just let him be. Monitor whenever you can to see if he's being responsible. Just because someone is gambling, doesn't mean they are addicted or going too far.

What is the amount of money that he Is investing in this activity? Are you sure he Is not keeping track of this activity and maybe he Is just investing a low amount (for him?)
If you are not really confident with him I would avoid any discussion on It... of course of you noticed some negative signs so yes, you should talk about It...

If he asks for your help then you should give him some advice. But if he's not ever asking for your help then you better let him do what he's doing.
He might even tell you to mind your own business and don't get involved with others affairs if you tell him something that he's asking for.
Or make a friendly conversation if you really want to give him some tips and from there you start the whole advising.

I think you have nothing to fear because I'm sure that grandpa is in control of himself when it comes to gambling. He doesn't do anything else so he just enjoys it. You said that he is a pensioner, which means that he worked for several years so that his children could become professionals, and I salute that.
You're not very close to him because he just moved, it's not good to criticize the hobby of someone you don't know very well yet. that you assume that he immediately becomes addicted to gambling. For me, it's normal for people at that age to become gamblers because they don't do anything in their lives anymore, they just enjoy the time they have left and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Based from your story, I guess we're from the same country and I do hope that you don't try to approach them advising them to stop with their cockfighting and gambling leisures for your own safety Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
Just like you've mentioned, senior citizens are sensitive being told to especially when it comes to their leisures whether it's for drinking or gambling even with their family members. One way that I've found to openly discuss this without offending them is having a discussion outside their gambling leisures and try to direct the conversation to it and try to approach with your opinion on it. But still, I don't really recommend that you advise them anything as it is much better coming from their family members instead.
