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.
This your question it's look like a rhetorical question because someone that like gambling has no specific time of quiting gambling but it is a perpetual activity of them. People gamble even in their old age but at that time they gambling rate has reduce to minimal level.
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.
Not all gamblers are fun and those that are fun are few but the ones that are for earning are more than fun gamblers, the responsible gamblers are equivalent to addicted gamblers because they are of the same line of action or gambling.
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.
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.
This year you stated here is the climax or the peak of gambling. A responsible gambler as you Op put it cannot leave gambling at that age because that is the most active age of anything if the person is not sick. And as I said, the only thing that can remove gambling from some gamblers is just dead. And this just someone that is drinking and you set a time for him to quit drinking or smoking, it is not possible.
