Gambling risk has to be taught to children. You must teach them how to cross a road. Don’t say don’t go on the road say look both ways. It is not enough to stigmatize gambling; it is necessary also to inform people about its dangers and benefits. Life is full of risks, from dating up to starting your own business. Not living in fear, but making informed choices

Then look at such things as social and human aspects. The entertainment culture can also benefit from moderate gambling experiences. It’s harmless like drinking wine with dinner. Keep a balance and control. Demonizing gambling may miss the opportunity for teaching responsible enjoyment and calculated risks. The aim is to train people when to hold, when to fold or walk away, young and old alike are supposed to be taught this aspect of life in which they seem not ready for quitting or continuing as well as knowing when it’s over. Life is the greatest gamble, isn’t it? We should take that reality with caution and reverence towards odds

I would also call children and adolescents vulnerable, they do not yet have the proper life experience and this can ruin their lives. I agree that it is better to avoid words like “no”. As you know, the forbidden fruit is sweet. Because of this, there may be increased interest in the game. It's better to find smoother and more neutral words for this. But at the same time, you need to be able to show that this is not a very good occupation. In general, an adult needs to think carefully about how to say this, because the attitude of fragile minds and their behavior in the game will depend on this.

This does not mean that these children or adolescents are the most vulnerable, because I have seen adults who do things that children do not do. Probably because they were obsessed with the game or betting, it's scary. In general, I would say that anyone who does not have critical thinking is vulnerable.

Yes, we still have to provide guidance to children. even for something that might be considered bad in society. if we don't tell them the risks and responsibilities that must be carried out. The impacts and effects can be very bad when they get to know gambling itself. with curiosity and no control. it is much riskier than if we introduce it with the right guidance.
no one wants their family members to be trapped in a gambling addiction. so we can only direct what is best. banning is not the solution, so we have to allow them to open their views on gambling. if they want to do it or ignore it, then we need to do the best.

That sounds as a fear to the society despite having few people who care about whether this happens or not. But it's clearly happening right now in most societies where gambling activities thrive. Every environment where its habitats gamble a lot would most likely product young people who would engage into gambling as well. Hence, taking a child aware from an addicted parent can be a better way to train them, or the child grows up to be a gambler. Addicted one, maybe. Their brain being too weak to condone lots of things they see or experience while gambling, can easily get the person depressed in the process and bother about why they're suffering so much on a specific life habit. That's why it's not good to focus on gambling alone. A kid in such an environment has no option to choosing several other habits or activities, than gambling. Due to the constant gambling reminder, where he lives or grew up, the society.

Providing children with the understanding that playing gambling carries risks is a way to get them to stay away from gambling from an early age so that when they grow up, they really stay away from gambling and will not try it even if their friends invite them. They will see adults around them who gamble and experience lots of losses and lose their money so that will be a lesson for them in avoiding gambling at all times. They even see the adults around them who have become gamblers who are addicted to gambling and also see the impact it has on them and their families, so they really don't want to go near gambling. And families will be the biggest affected by people who are addicted to gambling because they will lose balance in terms of their finances, so this only creates new problems for them. If they can focus on other things, they will not return to gambling too often because they have found an activity that has more potential to provide entertainment and can also make money. That is enough for them that they don't need to gamble just to get entertainment because they already have a substitute for other activities.

Indeed, it won't be a sound encounter for the growing children. Coming from a family where the head is addicted. What then would be the fate of the child. Not all the children will get addicted or follow the ways of their father, but it'll be a hard experience on the end of the child. As he'll think bad of gambling and those thoughts could affect the brain of the child. I could remember a thread of a guy angry over what happened to his addicted father. He in the thread, wasn't addicted, but he has no reason to give gambling a chance one bit. He may have taken the best choice, most people would say, but on the long run it's bad to hate an activity dreadfully. Not saying it's his fault, no. The father is the bad player and has proven himself an irresponsible gambler, for making his family hate gambling because of him.

This era should be the best time for parents who engage in gambling, to fight for the wellbeing of their children. To make sure they don't get addicted into gambling, or understand what gambling is about, and not have hatred on gambling. Following the trend, and how fast the gambling industry is growing, most family will have at least two gamblers, and a society a few more gambling addicts. This can be controlled with the help of the society, making a strict rule against problem gambling. So, that the kids growing up would know what's in for them if they ever get addicted in Gambling. Addiction is quietly disturbing the growth of the society's economy. Addicted players should be looked into and helped out of their struggles.

Children will experience the hardest impact because apart from experiencing mental disorders, they may also experience other bad things. Meanwhile, his family members will also experience the impact where they will be angry with their family members who have become addicted to gambling and do things that are not good for their children. These children who should be able to enjoy their childhood and adolescence must experience bad things which will make them depressed and irritable because they have seen the anger of their father who lost at gambling. They will have a rapid change in attitude that the people around them will not notice.

Yes, parents should focus more on guiding their children because it is easy to get information from the internet, which can be misused by their children. If their parents are addicted to gambling, their children will have no one to guide them, and it is possible that their children will take the wrong path where no one will be able to supervise them. If they have already taken the wrong path, this will continue until they are adults, and it is not impossible that their children will get involved in criminal things that they should not do. And before that happens, parents should immediately realize their mistake and carry out the healing process from their gambling addiction so that they can recover quickly for the sake of their family and their growing children.

That sounds as a fear to the society despite having few people who care about whether this happens or not. But it's clearly happening right now in most societies where gambling activities thrive.

Excessive gambling is detrimental to the life of a gambler no doubt, stories, facts and truths have proven this that they suffer a lot of pressure, tension, loses and frustration. I am also concerned about the impact of gambling on the lives of those dependent on the gambler like his immediate family(wife, children, parents and siblings). I have heard stories of children whose early lives were messed up due to the bad habits of gambling addiction of their fathers. A very recent one is one account in this forum which created a topic staring his hatred for gambling and backing his claim with same ugly story of being a product of a home where the father is a gambling addict. He stressed that it ruined his father and affected him disastrously. I know how painful and frustrating it is when your foundation its poor, and the negative effect is massive.

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

The person himself who is addicted to gambling is suffers the most here. He loses everything he has, his friends, his families and maybe even his dignity because of some choices he might have taken to fulfill his gambling addiction. The people around him also suffers, but I am sure, they don't suffer as much as the person. They might "feel" sad for him, try to help him and when everything fails, the best they will do is cut ties with him. And if they don't, the same will happen that you mentioned. The addict will take their close ones down with him (in your case of what you read, the father took down the son with him).

but as far as the impact on the gambler is concerned everything will go through the family. Because the gambler will spend his money on gambling he will not see anything in front of his eyes except the intoxication of winning. When the property is sold or even own house the wife will not care where the children will go but if the money is borrowed people will come home and it will affect the family.

The family will be affected by the addict because the addict has used his family's money to gamble without limits. His wife and children will suffer the impact and there will be great disappointment for them, so this may last forever. However, this is a terrible ordeal for his family, and if the addict does not come to his senses, he will lose his family, and he will be the one who will regret everything, but it will be too late. That is why we must be able to prevent this from happening by always implementing limits when playing gambling so that we do not experience large losses and also experience gambling addiction, which will make things difficult for all family members. Even members of our extended family may also suffer the impact.

The imidiate family suffers the humiliation. In my country we usually say that a mad man is not ashamed of his nakedness but the family member does. That is indirectly telling you that whatever thing a gambler does always affect the family. Sometimes when a chronic gambler takes a loan and play game and it happens that the game didn't go well, and they are beginning to demand for the loan he took, if he can't be seen anywhere, his family will be held responsible for the loan their son took. And now it's indirectly affecting the family members.

It definitely first will affect the gambler maybe before extending down to the family. A gambler pays for his own crime and not the family, they may only show a bit sympathy or disastification on the person's attitude but every necessary consequences would be faced by the gambler including selling his properties in order to pay back the loan he borrowed to gamble or by working severely to generate the money.

Mostly you are right, but as far as the impact on the gambler is concerned everything will go through the family. Because the gambler will spend his money on gambling he will not see anything in front of his eyes except the intoxication of winning. When the property is sold or even own house the wife will not care where the children will go but if the money is borrowed people will come home and it will affect the family.

Yes, that's the rule if he didn't take with him any co-maker of the loan. It will directly be passed to the immediate family of the borrower and if the bank is going to their house, I am sure the next time it will be a letter of a possible imprisonment if the borrowed amount is not paid in a designated time.

Anyway, yes, I do agree that it's always been the family who will suffer from this type of problem. Gambling addiction. It's not the gambler because I am sure he will just try to escape all of those not thinking about the harm that he has done to his family. Not just the humiliation but maybe even the financial problem if they are forced to pay the loan.
Those who do this don't even care about what their family would feel anymore and I bet the same thing will happen from the perspective of the family to that gambler who does nothing good but only trouble.
Leaving your problems behind to other people means you have also no chance to come back especially if it's a problem that is difficult to fix. Even if they ask for help the next time they are cornered, I bet they won't be welcomed in that home anymore.

I have also been in a similar situation because one of my relatives has been in debt, And since he has no money to pay off his debts, he often hides when someone comes to his house to collect his debt, what happens, is that his children and parents face the person who is collecting money from them. He no longer felt the shame and perversion he was doing to his family because of the wrong things that he did. So I think, both the gambler and extended family affected the most, Because his family can do nothing but to help him because they are the ones who are going to work together, but hopefully in such circumstances he will learn his lessons and he will be able to realize what he did wrong especial about neglecting money because of gambling.

Quote from: Casdinyard on January 24, 2024, 05:22:45 PM

One thing that I notice among gamblers who fall off into the deep end is that they are either stressed and find gambling as their only available way to wind out or they're shut-ins with no family to really depend upon.

Which makes me think that most gamblers who become addicted eventually only dig their own graves. And very rarely do I see families being affected by it, but when they do get affected, oh boy is it scary. That is because for the most part, family-men know what their limits are and know that there are other ways to have fun besides burning your money inside the casino. If they do play within the casino, I can see them toting their family on the way there, great example of this being my girlfriend's dad who's an avid bingo fan. He gambles quite occasionally, and every time he does he treats it as a form of bonding time with his family so everyone at the end of the day keeps their sanities in check and no one is really addicted.

On the other hand, I can use myself and a close friend of mine as an example for the former. Back in 2020, due to being alone and sad from the quarantines brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic I found gambling to be the game, eventually since I don't have anyone or anything to really confide with back then I became addicted to gambling and it most probably wouldn't have happened if only I had friends to hang out with personally and not just through calls.

people are looking for ways to earn money and since it has become more difficult to make more money, people will want to rest in the hands of gambling and since you can gamble with a lesser amount and also have the chances of winning a bigger amount, a lot of people see it as an opportunity. but put your hopes on gambling is really a bad idea especially when you have a family.

some addicts even end up selling their houses because they want to make more money, some will even gamble with loan money and if it has gotten to that stage then there is a big problem. families will be affected even emotionally because that individual will look very irresponsible. and might even put the family in a lot of trouble, having an addict at home comes with a huge responsibility not all men know their limits. it is better to always tell them to always have their limit. if you have control over your gambling then you will know that gambling is interesting. and during COVID-19 a lot of people became addicted because people did not have any other work than to stay at home and that is when some people became addicts.

When people see how others make money from gambling, how they win millions or easily increase their deposit in a short time, then those people are the first victims of addiction. People who are greatly dependable from money - first one to get addicted. Those who gamble for fun, most likely wont get addicted, as they can switch to something other to get fun. Once again, most weak, unprotected stratum of the population are affected most.

That is the dependants. Yes those that depends on the addicts for money are likely to be the worst hit because they will need money and if the addict is not winning to provide for them then they will suffer. However, the addict will also be affected because they are the first hit of their inability to win and usually those that depend on someone for money may feel the heat of not getting the money if the provide pretend not to have the money but if genuinely the money isn't available then the provider will feel the effects more, in this case the addict will feel it if he is not winning.

Of course, if they are addicted to gambling, they will just gamble and continue like that, until there will be a time when they run out of capital and they will do things that can make money and go back to gambling, but the things they can do tend to have risks. which is clearly detrimental to themselves, so it is likely that the main perpetrator will suffer more. Even though there are relatives, friends and even family who will be affected, in my opinion, before them, of course the main perpetrator will experience all the good and bad things from the gambling they do.

I myself sometimes have friends who always borrow money in the middle of the night because I know it will only be done by gambling so I never say I have money saved, because if he borrows money in the middle of the night it's clear that it will be used for gambling also with Those who borrow money sometimes have an element of coercion that's what I don't like. because he borrowed plus forcefully, that's very impolite!

It depends on how the gambler handles the different possible situations most likely in gambling of course, the person who will be affected first is the player because they have experience with the possible impact of in different games, excessive gambling and mistakes during their playtime, next is the people surround to them because once they get a negative effect like having a mood swings, anxiety with their games, and stress if their family would like to approach them, possible the negative energy passes to them might cause trouble and misunderstanding. If you are a gambler who can't handle those things I guess that's the time you would stop and take a break if you are still in a good condition or not because other people might affect with your actions.

I agree with what you said, I also have the same view that the gambler will be the first to be affected. You will feel a lot of stress, you will not be able to sleep well especially when you are addicted to gambling, all you can think about is gambling every day and that is not good. Let's always remember that every time you gamble, let's think that there is a family waiting for us, so all your actions will surely affect your family because you are an extension of them. Gambling has many negative effects, so think about every action you take. Gambling is a temporary happiness, it's not worth it to ruin your life, if you can't handle the stress and negative effects of gambling on you, you better stop gambling first.

But as difficult as it may seem to believe, those that are going through such a difficult experience seem to be the last ones to realize what is happening, because if they did so then they would have listened to their families that did what they could to stop them from going through that path, however there are many people that once they make that realization they still refuse to get the help they need, and keep gambling even when they are aware of the terrible effects their addiction is having on themselves and their families.

If they do play within the casino, I can see them toting their family on the way there, great example of this being my girlfriend's dad who's an avid bingo fan. He gambles quite occasionally, and every time he does he treats it as a form of bonding time with his family so everyone at the end of the day keeps their sanities in check and no one is really addicted.

On the other hand, I can use myself and a close friend of mine as an example for the former. Back in 2020, due to being alone and sad from the quarantines brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic I found gambling to be the game, eventually since I don't have anyone or anything to really confide with back then I became addicted to gambling and it most probably wouldn't have happened if only I had friends to hang out with personally and not just through calls.

Indeed, it won't be a sound encounter for the growing children. Coming from a family where the head is addicted. What then would be the fate of the child. Not all the children will get addicted or follow the ways of their father, but it'll be a hard experience on the end of the child. As he'll think bad of gambling and those thoughts could affect the brain of the child. I could remember a thread of a guy angry over what happened to his addicted father. He in the thread, wasn't addicted, but he has no reason to give gambling a chance one bit. He may have taken the best choice, most people would say, but on the long run it's bad to hate an activity dreadfully. Not saying it's his fault, no. The father is the bad player and has proven himself an irresponsible gambler, for making his family hate gambling because of him.

This era should be the best time for parents who engage in gambling, to fight for the wellbeing of their children. To make sure they don't get addicted into gambling, or understand what gambling is about, and not have hatred on gambling. Following the trend, and how fast the gambling industry is growing, most family will have at least two gamblers, and a society a few more gambling addicts. This can be controlled with the help of the society, making a strict rule against problem gambling. So, that the kids growing up would know what's in for them if they ever get addicted in Gambling. Addiction is quietly disturbing the growth of the society's economy. Addicted players should be looked into and helped out of their struggles.

Children will experience the hardest impact because apart from experiencing mental disorders, they may also experience other bad things. Meanwhile, his family members will also experience the impact where they will be angry with their family members who have become addicted to gambling and do things that are not good for their children. These children who should be able to enjoy their childhood and adolescence must experience bad things which will make them depressed and irritable because they have seen the anger of their father who lost at gambling. They will have a rapid change in attitude that the people around them will not notice.

Yes, parents should focus more on guiding their children because it is easy to get information from the internet, which can be misused by their children. If their parents are addicted to gambling, their children will have no one to guide them, and it is possible that their children will take the wrong path where no one will be able to supervise them. If they have already taken the wrong path, this will continue until they are adults, and it is not impossible that their children will get involved in criminal things that they should not do. And before that happens, parents should immediately realize their mistake and carry out the healing process from their gambling addiction so that they can recover quickly for the sake of their family and their growing children.

The first person affected by gambling addiction is the gambler himself, gambling addicts can do anything to continue gambling, this action can reduce the quality of life due to easy lying behavior and can even commit criminal acts. His family will also be affected by his gambling addiction because of his unstable emotions. Emotional disorders can change at any time, especially when you are losing, the defeat he experiences will make him feel annoyed and may even harm family members to release his anger.

Gamblers must be able to control and have a sense of responsibility for their gambling habits by maintaining their status as head of the family. The temperamental attitude shown by gamblers can damage children's mental health and also disrupt family finances due to not being able to support their children and wife.

Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that the gambling controls us.

I believe that what you intended typing here is "Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that we control the gambling". We should be in total control of whatever choices we make and whatever things we get involved in. Gambling is a voice made by everyone that engages in it, nobody is a born gambler, our gambling habits is a reflection of our choices and our rate of responsibility or irresponsibility ass the case may be. Gambling addiction is a display of irresponsibility by gamblers and the fact that your family is being victimized because of your gambling choices increases the measure of your irresponsibility.

The deprivation that the family faces, especially the children creates resentment in their minds and the build up rather quickly until they completely hate the parent for the negligence on their part. Gambling addicts in this category doesn't have good relationships with their children and that may possibly lead to the children abandoning that parent and never wanting anything to do with them. Such gambler suffers great loneliness at old age (that's if they ever get old) and only few of them ever gets the chance of reconciling with their families.

That is why a gambler must be responsible. A responsible person who acts must think before acting and then act. Gambling may be man made but many times it is seen that many people get addicted to this man made site. We understand that addiction is bad. There are many differences between a gambling addict and a responsible gambler. When you become addicted to gambling, you will make one wrong decision after another when it comes to gambling. Gambling cannot be done without money and if one wrong decision is made in gambling, the gambler will suffer financially. If a boy of insufficient age knows about gambling then it is more likely that he will become addicted to gambling because at that time he will not be able to make any decision with conscience but will do what he thinks is best. Gambling responsibly after adulthood will not bring any harm to the gambler at all. So before gambling we should be responsible first so that we have control over gambling.
