Topic: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? - page 9. (Read 1361 times)

I have yet to see any such picture in our country of an old lady regretting losing a gamble like this. But when it comes to men, I believe it. I also believe that there is no difference between women and men in different countries of the world. There is no age requirement for gambling. As a result, women or men are conducting gambling in all those places. Looking at the picture you mentioned, it is very easy to imagine how disappointed that woman is. But it seems to me that gambling for the elderly carries more health risks than financial risks, so a gambler should be careful about his or her health.

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.

I will be worried because as and elderly person their some health condition attached which is almost inevitable, high blood pressure appears most time in the elderly age, so gambling is an emotionally thing, my mother gambling habit might affect her if she loses money in a gamble, just for instance is she play a game that's remaining only one event to be successful and suddenly the game lost, this may trigger blood pressure, ordinarily am not against anyone gambling but because the nature of gambling, no how responsible someone is in gambling if you lose you most be pained, you will want to gamble more to win and as this is going on, the emotional stress becomes unbearable which is not ideal for elderly people.

OP one of the things that pushes people, be it young or old into gambling is when they eventually win or someone predicted a game for them and they actually won and maybe it might be a period when they're experiencing some financial constraints and as a result, the money they won aided them alot so that's what causes more interest of people be it young or old.

Sometimes, betting codes are even advertised by market women who maybe would have won through the source that brought the booking code and you know market women doesn't hide things as anything or any information that comes to them, they publicize it to everyone in the market.
This case of this woman is the picture is rather unfortunate because from the look of things, the woman have been deeply involved in gambling to an extent that whenever she loses bets she's very expressive and this is a very bad habit as this can lead to some health challenges like HBP as a result of shock in a situation when she play and couldn't win.

It's really gonna be so bad if her children finds out that she's this deep in gambling if at all the children is not aware that their mom is deep in gambling. Our parents doesn't need to get involved in things that will jeopardize our future as such should disengage themselves from anything that will pose as a threat to the well being of the children in the future

When he gambles just for fun and doesn't turn into an addict, it's only natural.
But when it frustrates him and always wants to try—and try again to win, it has to stop.
It is not good for someone who is already elderly to feel stress because of gambling, this interferes with their health indirectly.

After all, why should he continue to gamble, as a family or child, he has to give him restrictions and understanding that it is not good.
It's better to do gambling casually, just as entertainment, not for a place to earn income.

If an older person plays a lot in a casino, it is up to them to know how to play. Furthermore, from what I have seen in the behavior of the elderly, they are always in favor of things that can benefit them a lot. If they are a winning person, there is no problem. because he is making money, the problem is when a person like that Starts to lose money and sees things in a different way, for example if he is thinking about doing something else besides playing in the casino and he can't because his time Consumes everything there, And the elderly people do not give much Importance to that , because where they feel good, they are still there.

In the case that we are playing in a casino , we younger people look for more games to entertain ourselves, but the majority of older people go to a casino to play games alone and they are very passionate about it, it is difficult to tell themselves to stop doing that Activity , Because of what I have always Said , as an elderly person , it is like when I was a child, they always do what they enjoy without worrying about anything, you have to take care of them a lot, because if they spend the money for themselves, buying Medicine or something like that is What I don't know. must do.

The gambling industry was spread with many people in your own family.So even your brother or mother or father may do the gambling in your circle gambling store.The OP should not get embarrassed by this,if she do the gambling with some responsibility will be good,So he will bring the money to your family.Many countries woman doesn’t involve into the gambling,because it was their own belief.Some online gambling site was scam,she is doing gambling using the agent.So this will be the safer one for her compared to the some scam online site.


Why you are not giving her gender equality and doesn’t allow them to play the game which he love to be with it.Only thing you need to worry is she is playing with experience or doing the random betting.Because the loss will hurt you more than she playing in the gambling site near your circle.

I am lucky because my mother is not an active gambler, and if my mother were an active gambler then I would definitely forbid her from continuing to do that, what I am worried about of course is her health because women are old, susceptible to disease and just imagine if she gambles continuously then she will definitely forget to take care of herself, money can be earned but health is very difficult to maintain, therefore take care of your parents wherever they are, love them and try to talk from heart to heart when you find out that your mother is a gambler, make her aware. Parents, especially mothers, usually need attention, but she gambles because she feels he doesn't get attention from her children.

Actually that's what is happening to my mom now and I'm not worried about her because I know she's a responsible gambler. If you see that your elderly mother can handle gambling, why wouldn't you be comfortable if that is her hobby. We can't avoid worrying and that's normal because we love them, we don't want them to be harmed.

You will find it difficult to see a woman gambling in a physical casino in my country, and when you see one, people are always surprised. I know there is nothing bad about women gambling, but I don’t just like the idea. I do feel somehow when I see women gambling, especially if I notice they are addicted to gambling. From the picture that you posted, maybe the woman has gambled beyond her limit, and maybe she doesn’t have anything left with her. That's why she is frustrated. Both men and women do get addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is not one-sided, so don’t think because she is a woman she can’t be addicted.

When men gamble in my society, most people do see gamblers as irresponsible people in the society. Since men do gamble more and you will hardly see women gamble in my country, whenever anyone is seen to be a gambler, people believe the woman to be a useless woman. They believe women like that don’t have anything to offer their children, because when they see their child to be a gambler, how will they even caution the child since they are also gamblers.

Seriously I won’t like the idea of my mum to be a gambler, most especially if she is addicted to gambling, because I know what gambling can cause if you are addicted to gambling, if she is gambling for fun, and I know she is not addicted to gambling, then I don’t have any problem with that, but if she is addicted to gambling, am going to complain about that.

There's no way that you couldnt really be worried because we do know on what gambling could bring and this is why it would really be always best that you should really be watching their moves and telling them
that they should really be careful on dealing with gambling which we do know that it could bring out that devastation if they would really be letting or making themselves that engaged too much.
Gambling isnt bad as long they would really be that responsible towards their actions on which it would really be just that normal that you would be having those kind of worrying because we do love our
parents or grandparents on which if they do come into a point that they are dealing with gambling then it is really just that a normal approach or reaction to be that skeptical on what they are doing.

Even though I am a gambler maybe for this issue I will be a little opposed if my ancestral family such as my mother, father or grandparents are still gambling.
It's not a matter of egoism or anything by forbidding them to gamble but with the age that is no longer young then I think it's not too appropriate for them to do even though I am also a gambler but I don't want to see my family in the same situation as I am doing.
Maybe there will be situations where this kind of prohibition will backfire on myself because there will be words when I still gamble so don't forbid others to gamble but the problem is age and maybe responsibility in this case. Not that I want to restrict anyone from gambling because that can be done by anyone but for parents to do something like this in such a blatant manner then I don't think it's very ethical to do.

Maybe she has lost money that her husband gave to her for household things or maybe she lost the money leaving to her to pay the fees of their children. This must have been a behavior that she caught up with from a very younger stage in her life even maybe before she got married because for it to have followed her thus far in her life it means that she is not new to it. If she were my mother, I would be very worried and would not trust her to hold any money because I understand that she has a gambling problem and I also will try and look for help for her.

If I find this, I will most likely feel quite worried, considering that he is too old so it is no longer the time to continue being involved in gambling. It would be better if this time was used for more positive things, such as chatting with family and worshiping to get closer to God. Indeed, when talking about death, whether young or old, death will come at any time. However, if you are old, your life expectancy is relatively small. So what's wrong with using it for better things at that age?

This gambling is too risky, even those who have income can lose their income in an instant, let alone those who don't have income, where do they want to gamble? It's better if, for example, he has some savings, what if he doesn't? Will he beg his children?

I would be honestly as elderly mother if she is gone gambling it means things will most likely precipitate even further as I don't see any escape route if she for example gets addicted and plays all the house,food money and every other money in the gambling lotto club.

In the first place there is no need for an elderly mother to be playing gambling unless she is in a very bad economic situation which still can be resolved from a little help from her kids,I would definitely not like to see my mother gambling that is for sure.

Can you imagine how relax she is in a betting shop What about her husband? I'm asking because African homes have descipline and most of them don't go to this kind of place, it always full of people with different people especially some crazy dudes that are not okay upstairs. Now imagine a mum going to such dangerous place where thugs go and sit and also watch matches, this is not cool in my opinion.

I will not allow my mum to go this place even if she loves gambling, when she can comfortably play any kind of bets on her phone. This place is not for females to even visit, if it was even the dad I can manage it considering the gender but as for a woman? No I wouldn't low that to happen.

As long as she is happy with it and what she did does not affect any members of the family then why not? But yeah not to the point where she is addicted to it and being an irresponsible gambler.

We are par excellence a forum where privacy is respected, so, what would you think, even if it does not have a media effect, but, if the person in the photo is a relative of yours.(!?)

OP, it is not necessary to show a woman who may be tired or the photo is a fake, we are a betting board, not about how I feel about others when they bet, unless they are my friends or family, people lose or win, it is something you don't know.

It's not that I'm against the topic, but it is the context that bothers me.

In this part of the world, older people gamble quite a bit, so it is common to see older people in casinos.

The mother gambling is not the different one,because the parents gambling may affect the kids to get into the gambling after their schooling.The parents may not teach them about the gambling,but the fact is gambling interest will be the hidden factor to the kids by inheritance of their parents skills.The mother who do the gambling also should take care of the kids,because the kids may get into the bad habits if the mother care was missing in their family.The gamblers may not affect by the game of elders.If the care of the mother may affect the children on the continuous game made by the mother and even not spending money for their children.

This is to the extent that society has collapsed to,  and for something that has not been with us for so long such as sports settings and other gambling games to have taken control over the society and some are now giving away their morals to this and even though the society is warning about the danger of gambling elderly people still gets involved in gambling and at some point, we have some of them who are even addicts.

But for sure,  I won't be comfortable seeing an elderly person gambling and not talking of my own parents really I can't take it,  imagine how the child of that woman will feel seeing his mother in the casino looking frustrated.
