That's a gambling addict, looking at the picture, that mother gamble alone, why she need to go to offline casino instead of online casino? I don't see any reason why someone need to gamble alone if he/she is not a friendly person.

What do you mean by gamble alone, like you mean she goes to the gaming house alone? Well if that is what you mean I don't think there is a problem in that aspect, even men do gamble by themselves alone going to the gambling house. It shows confidence or being able to understand what you are doing without help from other people. In the case of the woman, she doesn't look like a learner but someone who is experienced in the game and moreover those who gamble in visual are experienced gamblers and high risk takers. You can't be a visual player without being able to understand risk taking. She is a gambler, that is what it is.

If it were my mom then why the hell not? I'm pretty open when it comes to it and would probably enjoy some family bonding with some malding experience though. If it were someone else though, I don't particularly think I'd give a damn unless they were dying in front of me. I don't think I have the right to judge others when I myself am gambling every now and then, regardless of any age difference between me and them. If it were a kid I might offer some advice though but this is an old lady. I'd probably get attacked instead of being appreciated when I offer any advice really.

I don't mind if my mom gamble provided it doesn't affect or prevent her from doing other things she should be doing with her life. Why will I prevent her from doing something that I am doing. It will be fun discussing and analyzing match statistics with my mother, not everyone will get such a feeling in their entire life.

That's your opinion and I respected that, Especially if you know your mom is a responsible gambler, We have no right to interfere with what they do but what if she's too old? Didn't you think about what might happen to her? in terms of her health? They should be at home and do something else rather than go out and spend time and money on gambling. As a child, even though my mom and I do the same thing and I know about her gambling, I still don't tolerate it as if you're giving her an advice on what to do. Gambling should not be consider as a normal bonding and we should focus on healthier things. This is my own opinion on your post only and I respected yours.

The old lady was really into online games, but you could tell she was getting super annoyed after playing for a long time like she was having a rough streak with bad luck, maybe losing a bunch of money.
I might feel a mix of pity and worry, thinking about how gambling for too long can mess with your head and your wallet. Some might be understanding, while others might be thinking about how going overboard with gambling can mess up your mental health and money situation. People might talk about being careful with gambling and having support for those who need it.

Gambling isn't bad actually and people gamble for some reasons. We don't need to judge someone unless we know it was for the sake of making money and thinking gambling would be a good source of income, I certainly disagree with that. It is just our choice and a responsible person knows what is best for them and what is not.

If that person gambles for pleasure, I don't need to worry but if that old mother gambles wanting to make more money in order to feed his family- that is another story. She should divert his mind and find other ways to earn money, not in gambling with only a very small chance of winning.

But there's no mercy in casino, regardless you're a good gambler or gambling addict, the casino will get benefit.

I will be worried, I think that's the first reaction of a son when he sees his mother gambling.
Not just about her health but also because I might be lacking in giving her what she needs to stop this kind of habit. Mothers who stay at home and take care of the kids are mostly stressed out and they need some time for themselves so they can freshen up, away from all the noise, the housework, and other kinds of stuff that they worry about.
If it's a mother of another person then I think that's their own problem. We don't know the reason behind why they do that and it's difficult to just judge people based on what they are doing. Most assumptions are wrong and there are deeper reasons why they end up in the gambling place.
Maybe I could ask why but I don't think I will be giving her more funds just to gamble more. That's just wrong. It's like suggesting to her to bet more and if she loses it will add another stress to her life. Better, to just leave them alone, in my opinion.

The mother who do gamble is not the activity after the have kid, it will be the one before he get married.And how the kid will get worry by seeing his elder mother to do gambling.Not possible one until she start to loss the money for the family expenses.This will reduce the food for their fanily per day,So he will do the reduce of cooking food for the family by no time available one to cook.Sometimes she doesn't have money to pay the school fee for their children and no money for the family expenses.Sometimes she won't pay the rent and get some arguments with their house owners.This also lead to shifting of house by the way of argument with the house owner of not paying rent.

I won't be comfortable seeing my elderly mother gamble, that's shows that the men in her life are not responsible, be it the the husband children or brothers, any elderly woman gambling doesn't have responsible men in her life, who can call her to order and advise her,but in most cases lack of financial assistance can cause an elderly woman to gamble just to pay her bills , it's not actually a bad thing but this is just how the society sees it,

Really that normal that we would really be having those kind of concern since they are our family and we dont really like that there would really be bad things that would happen to them and this is something
that we dont really like to happen into them considering that gambling is really that very risky and something that harm. As seeing your grandmother who do really have that a fun time on doing gambling
then it isnt that bad as long you do see that she's really that responsible on the things she's doing in terms of financial management or control. Having fun with gambling isnt that bad
but you do know that it wont really be that something good if you have that passed up into those limits on which it is something that must be avoided. Gambling isnt bad if you are really that responsible
on what you are doing or simply on what you are dealing with.

Before you could see this it is assumed she has been doing this for long even before getting to this stage of life, well to me it means nothing or I don't see any crime in gambling except for the fact that she looks very exhaustive showing her bad side of the gambling attitude.

I bet you that if she was making profits there will be no day anyone will judge her rather her fellow women would loved to join her to be making same prediction, currently it looks so abominable why because of her current outlook and situation at hand maybe who knows if she was on a win people could have surrounded her wanting her to share game with them.

Let us not conclude whatever we might see from afar without knowing what the real case could be.

Different people I know have their own different ways of reasoning and ways of judging certain issues which I think is also valid irrespective of the fact that it doesn't tally with my own opinion. Gambling I believe should be played by young people who are still single and in their youthful ages and not parents who have birthed kids that are aged enough like me to know the advantages and disadvantages of gambling.

Parenting comes with a lot of responsibilities and most of the responsibilities relies on the financially strength for them to be solved and if a mother can engage in gambling, it's very likely to drain her financially thereby leaving her financially incapacitated to solve some of the problems of the family. If for any reason I happen to my elderly mother gambling, I'll be extremely worried and would do everything within my strength to make sure she stops gambling and anything that's related to it. I won't be doing that to stand my authority as her son but because I don't want her to go bankrupt in the future because of gambling.

Hell no.
If it was my grandpa or father I would have just linked their gambling habit to probably the fact that they loved sports in their youthful years and that led to them still gambling

On other angle I will even link my gambling habit to her, and if at her age she still finds herself gambling, there will be no doubt it might be be from the lineage. Though on a real ife I didn't see my grandmother loving gambling even my mom, but my mom loves sports activities and played woman football during her youthful age.

Quote from: Cantsay on January 08, 2024, 04:43:29 AM

Like, the post you quoted above stated, since they’re are of old age it’s more likely that they can come down with some sort of illness like blood pressure unlike youths or younger people that can easily get through losing their money – some old people find it difficult to let go of their money, imagine that kind of person losing to a game they bet to. To me I won’t allow her gamble, I’ll try as much as possible to talk her out of it. Yeah, I know it’s not an easy thing to do but I’ll still do my best.

To be honest I will not be okay with it seeing her still gambling at her age except she is doing it for fun, if she couldn't make it while she was in her younger age I kind of wonder if it's now she's gonna make it.

I strongly believe that seeing myself in a casino will make people think less of me, it makes people look at you like someone who is useless, not to talk of you passing by and seeing your mother in a casino, you will feel like a train ran pass through you.

Till today I don't like going to any casino with my legs, I will rather find a online casino and shoot my shot, but honestly, this woman must be in a very bad position to expose herself coming to the casino like this, she is older, meaning she understood what people are saying about gamblers, and I am sure that some people will already be gossiping about her involvement in gambling.

People are really suffering in this world, they sometimes have no choice than to do something they never had in mind to do, it's not easy that's why elderly people are also trying their luck too.

First I think Op would have tried to clone the woman's picture more for the sake of her privacy protection. Hence, I won't be surprised if someone in same jurisdiction you are comes to identify the woman from the picture.

Having given that little observation, mothers who gamble didn't start that at old age, they started as either spinster learning from their brothers or boyfriends. Then another level is when they are married to a gambling husband, they learn from him and most times such habit is difficult to drop when the woman is no more especially when you have been having some winning.

So, I'm not surprised to see a mother in a gambling house because I know she didn't just wake up to start playing it even though it is awkward to see women gambling in my jurisdiction because gambling is a male dominated activities.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

It depends on the kind of gambling or where he is betting, if it is a lottery that is very popular here I need not worry as it is very popular here young and old are betting in the hope that it can change their lives and their family, and it only took minutes to bet here.

If it is a casino whether online or offline, I have something to worry about, as playing in casinos is very alarming for elders, especially for mothers, we all know that elder people have ailments like high blood pressure and this may shoot up if they play in casinos and they may forget to take their medicine and this will lead for their health to deteriorate, although there is no age for people to gamble but if's our parents who we know have ailments that will be alarming.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

I think it will be the same with different cultures mate, I've seen elderly in a land based casino playing, so it doesn't matter if you are from Africa to Asia, the effect of gambling to everyone is real. But I guess you can't blame them, same as you, regardless of age, you want to win some money and you take that risk, so you lose some you win some.

Regarding the question if we will be comfortable with our mother or even older sister playing, of course not, but how can you stop them? They might just be having fun and to be entertain. Maybe there will be issues if they were going to ask you some money to gamble, but for me, when my father was still alive, I give him money to gamble and play every week because I believed that he is just enjoying his life.

Gambling is a game of readiness to accept whatever results that comes out of it that is best suitable for the fittest due to its unguaranteed predictional nature.
I haven't seen a woman who tends to gamble for fun other than chasing after making profits.
I don't even find any acceptable reasons how and why my own mother should develop such feelings of catching fun in the gambling While I am aware of the negative occurances of ones is not responsible to control its emotions at when losses a stake which I can beat that most women are heartedly fragile to take control of their emotions at a depression time.
Women or a responsible mother is never fitted in for their passionate ness of chasing profits in the field of gambling and it would be such disrespecting and shameful that my own mother is reportedly found emotionally broken down at the public firm at the caused of her gambling.

It is not easy if you lose, especially if you bet a large amount of money in the game or if you have a share of the money you bet and you made an agreement that if you win, you can share it depending on the percentage that you agreed to.
Of course, it is natural for us, and it is common for us to experience a range of emotions in such situations. When I see my mother losing while gambling, first I would be concerned for her health, which might lead her to stress and other issues that she might face upon losing the game, and then I would be disappointed and sad to know that she just spent her money like that.

I would rather open communication with her in a respectful manner and give her words that might awaken her conscience.

If I’m not mistaken the game is Keno in the picture right? Here in Philippines, It’s very normal to elderly gambling especially on lottery based game and bingo. It’s quite a norm here since elderly doesn’t have that much things to do and they spend some part of their of their time playing small bet lottery for a chance to win big.

The woman in the picture is not even older than elderly here that still gambling on lottery shop or bingo shop. I believe this is a case to case basis depending on how your society accepts gambling because here in my country woman that gambling even elderly is not a big deal.

Personally I won't complain much if she does her gambling activities online or secretly at least we will understand that she's trying her luck to see it she could make out something tangible to assist her family but seeing her boldly gambling in a local shop says alot about her shameless and irresponsible she has become due to gambling addiction. In my culture, a lady who gambles is going to be regarded as an insane woman so I don't think I will ever accept any lady from my house hold to be seen or associated with any gambling activities because they can't control it when they become addicted.
