Gambling isn't something that should be done by aged people as the effects might be too risky for their health.
Older people are always advised not get involved in things that'll stress them mentally because of their age and gambling is one of the things that can seriously l stress somebody mentally and that's why I don't think it's wise to play gamble at old age.
Topic: Will you gamble till old age or not - page 11. (Read 2227 times)
You can get out of it if you want but I think it will be hard for you in old age. In my opinion, those who are attached to it from a young age may never come out of it in old age. Because it is a means of enjoyment as well as a means of earning money.
If someone started gambling at young age, it doesn't mean that they won't stop it. They would if they find reason to stop because nothing last forever and change is also constant.
I believe that most gamblers do gambling because they have no other financial means to survive whilst knowing that it is all about their luck. To hope on luck for financial resources is not sustainable and so if some gamblers have a sustainable income, they would leave gambling. Therefore, it means those who started gambling at young age can also leave, when they find better jobs, a greater percentage of gamblers engage in it because they lack finance or jobs.
But then also we have to be fair in our dealing and try to strick a balance between gambling for fun and gambling to meet the end need,
Usually for people who like to gamble, have the concept of getting rich quickly or quickly multiplying their money instantly, in my country many people fall into or are trapped on online gambling sites. Maybe this person who is trapped has seen his friend win the jackpot from gambling, then follows in his friend's footsteps. It's best to avoid this business, as far as I know the gambling system was created by humans, This system that was created is not to win every player, in my opinion not. The dealer will never lose because since the system is designed to beat the player, Players who hope to win from gambling are losers
It is not necessary for us to avoid gambling but it is a need for us to know our limits. Getting into addiction it is not because someone told us that we have to gamble but instead, it is our will to do that. We can't blame these influencers either because that was their way of making money (maybe we could say not in the right way) but we are old enough to determine if that is right or wrong. Perhaps, we can decline but because of our greediness, we thought that gambling could be the way. Well, talking about until when I'm still gambling, I can't say when as I gamble as long as I can make it.
Everyone who gambles are for the win and profit. If you intend to gamble and you're rich enough and you have no problem of losing then if that's the reason for you to gamble is totally for fun, that's what we've been hearing from the money but is kind of odd reasoning. Because if you ask someone why is he/she gambling, it's all about the money from the start and you'll be happily taking cash when you do so. And regardless of your age, nobody wants to gamble and just lose it without even saying that you want to make some win and money.
I will have to agree with what you have said, but then, its also very good to realize that gambling is actually not all about making the money and all that, it is actually very possible to gamble for fun and not all the money, there is absolutely nothing odd about this, gambling for fun does not mean you should not be happy when you win money, but it just means that when you lose money instead , you shouldn't see that as a problem .Its like one thread i created on this board sometime ago, unfortunately, i cant go looking for the thread now since its really been a long time, one can have good fun while gambling, be merry and happy when you win, but when you lose, be as well happy for the fun you are having while gambling. putting money first in gambling will only lead to gambling irresponsibly which can lead to a lot of loses and addiction.
You can stick to that idea that you're for fun and you are happy either you lose or win and that's not the important thing why you gamble because you just enjoy every single game that you do.

Again, gambling is all about making money. The way you risk your money, the possibility of losing it in exchange of multiplying your money, the intent is very clear.

I think you get it wrong here. If gambling is all about making profit, I think it would not be advised to gamble responsibly and gambling with what you can afford to lose. When gambling it should be in your best interest to gamble for fun and not otherwise because if it does not go according to your plans and thoughts you just might go nuts. It is true that most gamblers gamble with expectations but it would be nice you do that with what you can afford to lose and let go without chasing your loss because that alone likely results to addiction and it is not healthy for you as an individual.
I really do not see anything bad about it though but I think it will be bad if at old age one is still gambling with the mindset of making wins, profit or ends meet rather than gambling for fun because it is expected that at such age, one should not be bothering themselves with such thought as it could affect their health in one way or the other. At such age, gambling should be done responsibly and for fun and not to the point of addiction. It is understandable that at such age, of one decides to gamble then it is to do away with idleness or boredom as to be active and lively catching fun with friends and family. So it could mean entertainment for the old aged.

Gambling with the mindset of making wins and profit out of it sometimes is what leads to addiction and more losses. This is the reason why it is advised to gamble for fun. Yes of course gambling for fun is good as it keeps your thoughts and mindset free from wanting to gamble for profit because not always it is favorable that way and it would be nice being on a neutral stand . So if an old aged one should gamble, they should do it for fun so as not to complicate things for themselves because at that age they are prone to anything as a result of reactions based on external factors.
For gambling addicts, maybe their pleasure is in gambling, but they should be able to balance the money for gambling and for their own lives, but for addicts they continue to gamble without thinking about anything else in the hope of a big win that they will get so they are willing to sacrifice everything for gambling, this is something they must realize and they must fix it in the future, of course they will have other economic needs and even have a family.
If he's looking for fun, there are casino games that does not require real money to place a bet.
There’s no casino game that doesn’t require money and if you are pertaining to demo games then there’s no fun on it because you are not wagering money on it therefore it’s not gambling game.
Again, gambling is all about making money. The way you risk your money, the possibility of losing it in exchange of multiplying your money, the intent is very clear.
It’s true that you will have fun you make money but you can have fun too through the games you experience. For example when are down with 100$ then win a huge win equivalent to 100$. You didn’t have profit in general but your winning experience in the game makes you have fun.
It depends on how people enjoy the game but some people still have fun in gambling even though they lose some of their money as long as they are using funds that they can consider it as spare money.
I will have to agree with what you have said, but then, its also very good to realize that gambling is actually not all about making the money and all that, it is actually very possible to gamble for fun and not all the money, there is absolutely nothing odd about this, gambling for fun does not mean you should not be happy when you win money, but it just means that when you lose money instead , you shouldn't see that as a problem .

People have to understand that fun always come with everything you do. If people keeps doing gambling all over again, it doesn't mean that he enjoys what he is doing or having fun of it, but he aim for something which is to make money.

Yes and one of the childish things is that they might be a little bit selfish, they understand that their minds should be mature and that means being able to differentiate between good and bad sometimes they are still selfish like children, like I said before because they misinterpret the opportunity so they keep gambling because they want to get the winnings that are always expected, they are already stuck in that cycle like any other gambler.That's one of the goals of casinos, they want gamblers to get stuck in their own mindset of uncertain expectations, and they're already there to keep playing and chasing wins. Basically if they are too serious and ambitious in their pursuit of winning then surely whatever control they have previously set up will be lost and they will forget about it.
Honestly, I can't really be sure whether they will be firm with their decision to quit at some targeted time, because sometimes it's just nonsense, it's very difficult to avoid it. So I think it's more effective if you want to quit in the next few years then you have to start reducing the activity from now on, you can reduce the time to gamble and also the budget. This must be done slowly because there is no way with such addiction they can stop suddenly.
We must realize that we only use gambling as entertainment and nothing more so we don't get trapped into gambling deeply. Apart from that, we don't need to chase victory because the more we chase it, the more difficult it will be for us to get that victory. That will only result in us losing self-control and making us lose money.
They must be firm with themselves and know what they have to do, especially if it is gambling. And I agree with you that trying to reduce gambling activities from now on will not make it difficult for us if we want to stop in the next few years. And it can also allow us to save money to use it for other things.
I do not really see anything wrong with gambling at old age. If you do that responsibly and for fun without being addicted to the point of becoming a headache to your family then its okay as long as you are okay with it.To some point you should know when to call it a quit because at some stage at ones old age, you would not be able to engage in some kind of activities so it is better you start early enough to limit your gambling life style so as to enable do away with it at old age.
It true that there no problem whatsoever with gambling into old age as long as you can still have limits and gamble just for fun but at least it would be better in old age to gamble once week just to fill your free time and entertain yourself so you don't get bored.After all gambling is choice and a right of each person and no one can prohibit it.
There are quite a lot of people out there in old age who still carry out active gambling activities either using savings or money given to them by their children but this should be more strictly limited and controlled because it can also cause child misunderstanding of parent.
Wouldn't you also be little disappointed if you gave some money to your parents for the purpose of holding on when you wanted something to buy but instead the money was used for gambling.
Personally I would oppose what my parents did when they were still actively gambling but if it was just to get rid of the boredom of gambling once week or once month with small amount of money then it wouldn't be a problem that should be discussed.
I feel gambling at old age is no big deal though probably if an aged person gamble, maybe they are doing that just for fun and not for profit although if they get the wins, they can go with it but as long as they are not addicted but are gambling for fun and responsibly there should be nothing to worry about as that is what they do at that age that gives them joy in doing. It only can be in a situation where the old aged individuals are prohibited by the laws of their land to not take part in gambling then that is when we can say the aged can not gamble as a result of the existing laws of the land were they belong to.
Just as you have said, maybe some of the old aged do engage in gambling to avoid getting bored and as such, they would want to either go with their friends to casinos if they can or they gather together with their friends to gamble together.
Usually for people who like to gamble, have the concept of getting rich quickly or quickly multiplying their money instantly, in my country many people fall into or are trapped on online gambling sites. Maybe this person who is trapped has seen his friend win the jackpot from gambling, then follows in his friend's footsteps. It's best to avoid this business, as far as I know the gambling system was created by humans, This system that was created is not to win every player, in my opinion not. The dealer will never lose because since the system is designed to beat the player, Players who hope to win from gambling are losers
Good point dealers always work in their own interests but gamblers should not expect to win too much. No one can guarantee victory here many times it depends on luck since there are gains and losses in gambling it is not easy to know when it becomes too much. Therefore it is important to focus only on the present problem and think about how gambling is causing danger in a person's life. A person suffering from gambling addiction should not engage in activities where there is a possibility of danger in fact it is important to help him recognize danger and ensure that he does not jump into that danger.

Yes, exactly, and indeed I also think the same as you that whether or not someone is addicted cannot be measured by the age factor at all, as you say young or old it doesn't matter, and I think it's more about the person himself, although maybe older people are more mature in terms of thought but that doesn't always make them think more realistically in seeing gambling, there is a chance of winning and if they are very serious about it then obviously whoever it is and whatever age they are they will definitely pursue a victory that is not promising at all.
Of course, not all retirees always have the right mindset as I said above, and it's only right that no one can know what's really on their mind, it's not uncommon that they can think of something even beyond our expectations. So the point is that whether they are addicted or not cannot be measured by who they are, how old they are, only they know what they will do.
Older people often look childish and want to win from gambling, so they will try to win Of course, not all retirees always have the right mindset as I said above, and it's only right that no one can know what's really on their mind, it's not uncommon that they can think of something even beyond our expectations. So the point is that whether they are addicted or not cannot be measured by who they are, how old they are, only they know what they will do.
But people who have gambled should know that gambling can tempt them to continue playing. And if they continue to chase wins, they will experience many losses they would not have expected. It's because they want to win so badly that they keep playing.
We have to determine whether we will continue playing until we are old or whether there is a target age at which we will stop gambling. And for now, it's better to just do what we want. If we still want to gamble, we continue gambling and see what will happen later.
That's one of the goals of casinos, they want gamblers to get stuck in their own mindset of uncertain expectations, and they're already there to keep playing and chasing wins. Basically if they are too serious and ambitious in their pursuit of winning then surely whatever control they have previously set up will be lost and they will forget about it.

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention measures to addiction.
To be fair, I never thought about gambling until today. Although I go into gambling. So I don't plan on gambling until old age. I will try to get out of the gambling platform before that. Although all my friends gamble and earn a lot. But when I tell them to gamble for the rest of their lives. Friends say he will play for 40-50 years. So if I get addicted to gambling then it will take a long time to retire from it. Which is a lot of trouble. If I consider the good of my family, I should hope to return before old age. Because gambling can be played till the age of 40. After 40 years can not be played under the pressure of family or children.
I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.
There are so many of us that are responsible gamblers and we only gamble to entertain ourselves not for making profit. Since gambling is done for fun, it becomes part of us, this is because we enjoy the fun, and some persons uses it to relieve them after a long day stress at work. We always assign some portion of our income for our gambling activities because it has become a habit in us. I know that some of us hasn't thought of quitting gambling because we are responsible gamblers.

I will answer first.
I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.

Age is just a number, and as long as you have not completely lost your critical thinking and logic skills you should be free to choose your own entertainment. Maybe certain checks should be in place, which should be true for gamblers of all ages, to make sure you are gambling within your means or maybe get a simple "check up" screen every year to make sure you have basic reasoning skills, could be contemplated. The important factor is whether you are still competent to make financial or risk based judgements, which do diminish as you get very old.
You can get out of it if you want but I think it will be hard for you in old age. In my opinion, those who are attached to it from a young age may never come out of it in old age. Because it is a means of enjoyment as well as a means of earning money.
If someone started gambling at young age, it doesn't mean that they won't stop it. They would if they find reason to stop because nothing last forever and change is also constant.
I believe that most gamblers do gambling because they have no other financial means to survive whilst knowing that it is all about their luck. To hope on luck for financial resources is not sustainable and so if some gamblers have a sustainable income, they would leave gambling. Therefore, it means those who started gambling at young age can also leave, when they find better jobs, a greater percentage of gamblers engage in it because they lack finance or jobs.
There are many gamblers who continue to gamble despite having sufficient money. Every human being is greedy for money. Whatever income he has, he tries to earn more. Considering this aspect some may opt for gambling. But yes those who do not have employment try harder to earn money from anything. But winning or losing in gambling is entirely a matter of luck. If a gambler finds such action, he can take a break.

Here we are some people participate in gambling as a hobby and some people participate as a result of their gambling addiction. But those of us who participate in gambling as entertainment must stop gambling at a certain time. On my part here I would say that all the gambling I participate in is for entertainment. I can quit gambling whenever I want. But when I am old I will never care about this gambling. Because if you lose gambling in old age, it will be very difficult to accept that defeat. Moreover, if you gamble in old age, people will take it badly. I will always conduct myself religiously in my old age.
