The old man I guess did a good work in raising his children and letting him do what he wants to do is not such a bad idea. Knowing that he even have a hired care taker means he can afford stuff. Or maybe his kids are also helping him out. Since you are talking a lot, you can always ask the usual stuff we talk here. His loss versus the win I guess if that's not so much of invading his privacy.
I do have a renter about 64yrs old who is also betting on horse race and betting on bet365. Because he is an ex-cop I just let him be. Old man like this are grumpy. He only greets me if I throw his trash.
Topic: What's the best advice or should I just let him - page 6. (Read 741 times)
That is a new neighbor you may have to be able to approach further than directly giving advice about gambling of course the neighbor will definitely be sensitive because you just know you immediately advise the elderly which is like rude, maybe the best way is to approach children and then do what is the best advice if you want to save him from addiction then it needs to be more familiar.
And we cannot determine whether the elderly are just having fun when they are alone or are already addicted, if you see excessive gambling activities that make the elderly stressed then you can advise in any way you can.
I myself am not so sure because these parents still have the responsibility of their children who are still there.

I don't think a young man who barely knows anyone older than him will be heard. I think that your neighbor, if he has money and adult children, will be able to figure out his own entertainment. We have no right to interfere with advice where we are not asked. Therefore, you can observe, and if one day you are asked for advice, boldly go to save your neighbor. But for now, do not do good so as not to receive evil.
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 is a senior citizen and he has nothing to lose aside from his daily or monthly pension which will not devastate his life since he has family to support him financially. He is not a teenager anymore so I’m sure that he is just enjoying since he doesn’t have someone to accompany him on his daily life.
You should not interfere on other hobby/entertainment if they are not asking for an advice because it’s their life and it’s his family matter. You have nothing to gain if you will interfere while you can be at bad terms on him if he didn’t like what you said. There’s no upside here so just ignore him as best option.
I think I can ignore that for now unless he starts borrowing or neglecting his health he is new to gambling but a senior citizen who wants to gamble for the rest of his life is something to be concerned about, we have a saying here that old people should behave like a dignified person, maybe this will come to pass since its new to him and has nothing to do the whole day.
I get the notion that it is bad to grow old alone with money coming to you without doing anything and then suddenly find gambling very interesting to indulge in, is it possible that he will be like this until the end or until he is very old and cannot walk, maybe gambling is doing great on his mentality like he is more focus and find it energetic only time can tell.
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.
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.
She was still energetic and her skin was still tight even though she was an elderly widow. He also likes exercising. Is it true?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 needs advice, it would be good for you to explain how to manage gambling activities. If she doesn't ask you, be a good neighbor who is ready to help when she needs help because she still has children who are ready to look after the old widow.
If you care about him, monitor him and call him out when his gambling activities go astray.
if you are certain about him getting addicted and you are concerned, then do it, but think carefully about how you do it, like you said, senior citizens are very sensitive to criticism. you can also just inform one of his children about your concerns.
He is a senior citizen and he has nothing to lose aside from his daily or monthly pension which will not devastate his life since he has family to support him financially.

the OP did say that he is concerned that his neighbour is getting addicted. the problem with gambling addiction is not just about financial loss, it can also negatively affect your relationship with the people around you(like his family). You should not interfere on other hobby/entertainment if they are not asking for an advice because it’s their life and it’s his family matter. You have nothing to gain if you will interfere while you can be at bad terms on him if he didn’t like what you said. There’s no upside here so just ignore him as best option.
If you are close with the man, there are ways that you can use to approach him. You can talk about gambling with him and also talk about games that you are using to gamble and also know how much that you are gambling with. I think you have known all these already. All you have to do is to just advice him because I think you are close already, but in a polite way like you are not advising him. He will have something to talk about it, if he says it is not affecting him, just leave it be.
Know first when he started gambling, if it has been a long time like over 10 years, I do not think he needs advice. I do not think someone that has been gambling for over 10 years needs advise. But if it is not long, like a year or two years ago, you can discuss about it like not in an advice way and give your own opinion which the man can see as an advise.
