To me it's morally unacceptable to see my elderly mother gambles, i know that in some part of the world it like a normal thing, but in my own culture you can't see a woman gambles talkless of an elderly mother.
Though it's not that harmful if it's been done for fun, but it portrays an ugly picture about her if she is from my place.

I have seen many cases of elderly people in casino gambling which is a normal occurrence in my region. Anybody can gamble as far has they are up to the age of accountability. I don't still see anything wrong with people that gamble whether old or young.
Everyone has the right to do whatever they want to do as far as they want and it's not illegal. When we gamble too frequently without any discipline, we could finally end up becoming addict to it and the less attention we pay to our gambling lifestyle the more problem we could finally cause to ourselves and mindset. Gambling is more of understanding of the concept so that we don't finally take decisions that would create consequential effect to our wellbeing.

That's why the gambling arena is only devoted to adults. Because their thinking is more stable and more responsible no matter what results they have obtained. So it's more about the maturity of thinking and how to manage finances.
But for the problem of nature and thinking it goes back to the person in my opinion, we can classify that people who have age can be more mature in gambling, sometimes a lot of them have crazier emotions that can make them impulsive, so I think it's not fair to classify it based on age, maybe if it is compared with understanding and knowledge it is more suitable.

Not bad if she's going to gamble with very tiny amount but it is giving me a different feeling that she's spending a lot.
That's the time that I'll play the role of her parents telling her that she shouldn't do it anymore. Yes, she's grown up and should try to enjoy her life but I like her to do other things to enjoy with not with gambling if it's too much.

If they can be responsible for themselves, that's fine, but we know that in gambling, we can lose that responsibility at any time so we won't be able to control ourselves well. For older people, it's best not to gamble anymore, let alone try to chase wins, because that will make them lose a lot of money. We don't know when they will win, and because it is sports betting, it will be very difficult because it requires analysis and luck. Maybe they can manage the finances to buy the bets but that doesn't guarantee they can remain responsible if they gamble for a long time. And it's even better if they don't gamble too often so they can avoid gambling addiction and still enjoy betting. That's why the gambling arena is only devoted to adults.

If that's my mom, it's a different story. I wouldn't be happy to see her gamble because she's going to lose her money entirely because I know her personally and how is she doing.
And the others might feel the same for their moms, it's not a problem if this happens once in a while but I am still worried at all if that's once will have that much a lot of money involved per stake she does.
Like losing a $1k per time she gambles, that's worrying when I know how the status of her life is.
I'm the same way, sir, I won't let my mother gamble because I also know my mother, even though my mother is dedicated to gambling, for example. but I myself know how age can affect emotions and the freedom of thinking, maybe even narrower because of stubbornness.And the others might feel the same for their moms, it's not a problem if this happens once in a while but I am still worried at all if that's once will have that much a lot of money involved per stake she does.
Like losing a $1k per time she gambles, that's worrying when I know how the status of her life is.
Moreover, my mother only has a job with a small income, so it would be very unethical for her to enter or be in the world of gambling which could potentially lose her pension money.
Aside from that, I've seen how people deal with this situation when their moms have been addicted to gambling. I just can't take the effect and impact of it to the actual moms that have became addicted.
They have sold everything, forgotten that they've got families and their minds are focused on gambling whether win or lose.

Obviously it would be very worrying and very sad to see our mother, who of course is already elderly.He should be able to have fun and be happy in the warmth of family gatherings with children and grandchildren, but instead he becomes addicted to gambling, which will clearly have negative impacts that can be felt.
Gambling addiction experienced by those who are elderly will affect their health and psychology because they can feel pressure from adrenaline or pressure due to unpleasant results.
When conditions like this occur, it is clear that it will also affect how the body and soul cannot be normal like the elderly people out there.
What I would do when I have mother who is addicted to gambling is apply more firm pressure such as confiscating some of the money they have and limiting the places they can visit, including casinos or betting shops.
This will be able to put pressure on reducing gambling activities carried out.

If your grandmother would be listening into your advise then its good but if its not then its her choice but as much as possibleit would be always that best that you should really be letting her know about those possible problems that could arise in too much dealing with gambling. For entertainment purposes then its good
but if you are tending to make constant money or winnings then its bad.
There is one thing I understand about our parents especially mother's sometimes they ought to know the best so, even when you are trying to buy their minds to make them understand what they are doing wrong they would find out that you are seating on their heads probably because they have making so much fun with you that was why you are acting as an adviser to her.
Although I have tried talking to an elderly woman, this is not gambling related discussions but to another areas of our lives but i tried to advance she refused saying that what did I know, that is little girl of yesterday like wanting to talk to me? And said mama not so but this is the right ways to do that, on a short not we both start having issues so i have to avoid her and do right part of my side to let her go.
The bottom line is that, whenever you are trying to correct and elderly woman or man and they noticed that you are not up their Son's and Daughter's age they wouldn't give you that attention instead they would see as an insults.
if its not really that handled well if we do speak about not to be able to get a hold of it on right manner and we do know that women are more really that emotional than men? This is why we do assume out
that they would really be having those impulsive manner on the time that they would really be losing on doing gambling so we would really be thinking about those probabilities and this is something
that you would be urging for you to do something.
If they would really be insisting then just let them be on which we do know that its not something that we can stop once their mindset has been fixed. We do know that once womens
would really be taking that kind of step and dealing then stopping them would really be impossible but somewhat it isnt really that bad on making those kind of
suggestions and having those caution calls about on the things that they are really that doing. Being worried is normal yet we do know on what are the risks
that it could give out.

If it's my first time finding it out, I think I'll be worried. There is that thinking, what if she will lose the money that is intended for the house I.e. bills and groceries? But once I observe and things are seem to be manageable by her, that is going to be the time that I will calm down or be confident that there are no problems are going to be experienced later on.
I agree that in some places, the behavior is deemed to be normal, like for example here in our country or place. I saw lots of elder people here who play gambling but they do it in the afternoon when they are now done with their obligations to their kids and in their house. This is their way to relax.

There are old people who are fond of gambling. That's just the way for them to spend their days. Since they don't have work anymore or even heavy responsibilities in their households, many of them can spend time playing games.
There's no problem with this if they are only gambling according to what available extra savings they have. Many old people are living off their pensions and savings. Some are even earning from the businesses they've established. But if an old person doesn't have extra savings, gambling isn't for him.
Some parents who don't have any activities will certainly make them feel bored and will look for activities they like, including gambling, but if they gamble just for fun, this doesn't matter to them because it won't stress them out if they lose.There's no problem with this if they are only gambling according to what available extra savings they have.

Yes, it is true that some of those who have retired do have sufficient savings for their needs, but if they continue to gamble very often their savings will certainly run out and it would be better for them to just gamble for fun and not make them addicted.
Gambling for fun and gambling for the sake of trying to make money are not different in terms of the possibility of becoming addicted to it. Even those who gamble for fun could also be addicted themselves. Even if they they are not expecting to win big, if they are hooked on to it, they could stick to it and do it over and over again. So I think the best way to approach gambling is to bet small amounts. Gambling for fun can still bankrupt anybody.

Why should I not be comfortable if she is gambling responsibly. But I will prefer she should do it online instead of offline using betting agent. Because as I saw that image, that is a betting agent shop and I will not like to see my mother there. This is because in my country, only young guys are common in such a place and that would be an embarrassment for my mother and me. But if it is online that she is doing it, I will not be worried at all if she is gambling responsibly.
I find this funny because this is what I am experiencing now!
To tell you my story, I often meet with my GF almost every week. She has a grandmother who frequently gambles (e.g. 2-3/week) using the funds which should be allocated for the monthly obligations on their household. From time-to-time, the grandmother wins but she mostly losses her bets in the process. As a way to recuperate with the stress, she often goes ballistic inside their house, displacing her stress with her family members.
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.
Based from the story that I just mentioned above, I can have an answer to your question OP based purely on my experience.
Most elderly people do not have things to do at their house. They either just sleep or do household chores in a daily basis to kill some time. In order to at least be satisfied, they often gamble as a way of their entertainment since they do not work anymore.
Unfortunately, this brings tons of problems if they do not have the urge to control their gambling fantasies and satisfaction like what happened to the grandmother of my girlfriend. While I do emphathize with her grandmother, still, that cannot be a reason for her to continue gambling since she is also using the funds for their monthly household operations.

I'm quite happy because she's not a gambler and doesn't even know gambling apart from traditional card games which are often played by young people in her village, but I often see women 45+ years old who gather in one house to play card gambling, I think as long as it's done fully responsibility is not a problem but it will be a problem if gambling affects their emotions when they loses money which means they cannot accept it, and in my opinion in countries where gambling is legal then seeing adults and even old people gambling is not a strange thing because they can freely gamble without fear of breaking the law because gambling is legal there.

Anyone is free to gamble, that is their own decision and not mine, if I can't help them in any way or means to make her life better then I must be very careful of not being a hindrance to what makes her happy, there are some people who have completely find gambling as a means of joy to them, they gamble to get rid of dulling moments of their life, try to avoid being worried about life and get more excitements in gambling than focusing on life huddles and cuddles, but I'd she's not gambling the way it is expected, I may be forced to step in advising her.
I agree, if I see that there will be no problem and she is happy with what she is doing, I will let her continue that. Why would you stop the person if it will not cause any problem, besides, you will only come in when you see that gambling is not good for your elderly mother. We can't help but worry but first see if it harms her or not, if not just let her enjoy it.
January 09, 2024, 06:01:07 PM
There is no law stating that gambling is for the young or for men only. So that leaves me to a simple and straight forward answer. Which is yes. I will be comfortable seeing my elderly mom gambling as long as she is not yet, and addict and she is gambling responsibly. If on the process of gambling she got lucky and won very big in it. Big to the extent that she does not have to gamble anymore, and she is rich. Will you not follow her and enjoy the riches?
Instead of getting disappointed when you see your mom gambling you can teach her the best gambling options and also teach her how to play safe when gambling. Especially to know when to stop gambling.

This is not about law, this is about morals and virtues as a parent. I wouldn't be happy seeing my mama gambling where boys are gathered, what exactly is she looking for? I will happily prefer she does it on her phone if she insists rather than seeing her standing over there looking frustrated and thinking of what next to do. Now imagine this woman that was captured and video posted on the internet, if it were to be your mom, don't tell me you will be happy to see it.
I will buy her phone so she can do that at home and I will make sure her account balance is limited, I don't want to be hearing monthly allowances has finish on the first week of the month. If you hear that as a child, you wouldn't be happy and you will definitely send her another payment to make her feel comfort but don't be surprised if she use the money for gambling the following day.
