The answer to whether I can gamble till old age depends on the reason why I'll have to gamble till my old age, I believe that at old age people must have good reasons to engage in any activities, because their bodies must be tiring. If gambling gives me fulfilment and i have enough savings to gamble, so even if i lose it won't affect me emotionally, then I'm good for it. At old age it should be about what really makes you happy because at that age death can occur at anytime. Although personally I'm not into gambling, so i don't see myself gambling in old age, but who knows i can become very rich and decide to gamble responsibly in my old age, just for adventure and the fun of it. No matter my financial situation in my old age, whether rich or poor, I'll never engage in gambling for the purpose of making money, that'll be desperation and not good for the mental health at that age.
This is why it is good to do all our hustling when we are young, so in our old age, we'll focus on relaxation and engaging only in things that makes us happy.

Of course, because the level of gambling is different, when we are young we are free to do anything as long as we have money, but when we are old doing work is difficult and if you get a pension it's not much, would be better if that the money was used for more useful things rather than using money for gambling, old age is a time when we need to rest and spend time with family without having to think about gambling, therefore while we are still young it is better to reduce gambling activities little by little so that when we are old we can easily stop doing it.
So it won't be a good decision if in old age, we still gamble to satisfy our ego. We will encounter financial difficulties and that means we may also cause difficulties for our children in the future. If you have gambled from a young age and really want to leave gambling when you are old, you should immediately learn to control yourself so that you can reduce your gambling time slowly. And when we are old, we can stop our gambling activities because we had more than enough gambling when we were young. We can also tell about the dangers or impacts of gambling to our children or even other people and always remind them to be careful when they gamble.I even see gambling as something for the youths and I don't really feel comfortable seeing those who are supposed to be retired from active service, still lining up in gambling shops. It makes me scared as I picture myself in that situation which I presume to be a failed life even if it might not be true. I will not do that anyways because by that age, I should have establish a good business empire that will be managed by my children while I watch from behind.

Personally, I don't think old people are supposed to be be allowed to engage in activities that nerve-wracking and that's why I wouldn't be engaging myself in gambling or any other activity that'll make me feel nervous whenever I pass the age of 50 years. Gambling is a fun engagement to some people but a very nervous one for me and the feelings I get whenever I gamble isn't something that should be happening to me at old age.
And because of that fun, many people forget to stop gambling. If we are 50 years old or more, health problems are something we have to pay attention to because our stamina has decreased a lot. And if we still gamble frequently at that age, we could experience health problems more often because gambling will bring us many surprises. If we are unable to see it, it will have an impact on our health and we could have a heart attack while we are gambling. It will cause problems for us and also for our family.Of course, in my opinion, old age is not the right time to spend the remaining money we have on gambling, it is better to use this money as best as possible to ourselves in old age because who knows, one day we will need something so there is no need to ask money children who might make them a burden.
if we gamble, of course our children will not be happy, just imagine if currently your parents were heavy gamblers in their youth, even in their old age, your parents are still active gamblers. You definitely don't like seeing the attitude of your parents who carry out these activities, this can become a benchmark for ourselves so that we are better off avoiding gambling in old age so that our children do not think badly of our attitudes, providing education to children about gambling is important so that our children do not get too deep into the world of gambling that detriment of them.
In old age, we should use this life more to enjoy our old age rather than using it for things that are still related to the world because we have gone through it and maybe we have also got it. We also definitely don't want our children and grandchildren to see us still gambling frequently and they will ask us to stop gambling. If that's the case, we have to know which is more important in our lives, while gambling is just an entertainment for us that we often use when we are still young. By stopping gambling, we can also spend more time with our family, which will give us more peace of mind because we can also improve family relationships to become closer. if we gamble, of course our children will not be happy, just imagine if currently your parents were heavy gamblers in their youth, even in their old age, your parents are still active gamblers.

I think a question like this will be best answered by simply going to a brick n mortar casino and observing the many old people that are gambling there every day.
I think a lot of them cannot work anymore and they dream of a huge jackpot hit that will help them to boost their Pension fund.... or they have enough money, but they are just bored and they looking for some entertainment to keep them busy.
More like that's their only past time now that they're done doing work although I agree with that they're not working anymore, I can't say that it's a certain thing. I have seen a lot of these old people still working or are coming from work when they arrive in these casinos although these old people really don't have that classic 9 to 5 job, some of them are probably taxi drivers or something that's not really the same as a basic jobs out there. I don't think that it's their goal to boost their pension though, I feel like most old people that are retired and are gambling don't really have that thing in their mind, they just want to spend their days relaxing and it seems that most of them have gambling as their way of relaxing. Regarding the question though, I feel like it's too early for me to think about that, I haven't even started putting money in my insurance and pension so I can't really talk much about whether I will be gambling when I get old. I think a lot of them cannot work anymore and they dream of a huge jackpot hit that will help them to boost their Pension fund.... or they have enough money, but they are just bored and they looking for some entertainment to keep them busy.

Not all forms of gambling are nerve racking, for example limit poker can be a very relaxed kind of game as there is a limit on the bets you can make and if you are gambling at the appropriate limits for yourself then you could play for hours and only lose a small amount of money, even if you are not very good at it, so I could see many people still gambling until their old age since it could be a good way for older people to keep their mind sharp.

If you are still gambling in your old days then you lived a unfulfilling life already because at a young age you should have set your strength in your dreams and goals, by old age I expect you to be relaxing and enjoying the little time you have left, remember that every thing about you at that time is old, your age, your heart and your brain, you shouldn't be gambling at a old age, and now that you are still young its best to work smart and harder so that you won't have to keep trying to make some money at a very old age, that's not a good thing to pray for.
The younger you are the higher your strength, this is why it's good to stay focus and avoid wasting your youth days on things that doesn't matter, the best time of our lives is our young age, once you passed that there is no going back, some people are full of regrets because they wasted their time, do not be like such people, do something that will keep bringing you money if when you are old and can't work anymore.

We can also tell about the dangers or impacts of gambling to our children or even other people and always remind them to be careful when they gamble. It is more difficult to cure gambling when we are older because we don't want to do anything else. Even when we are young, we don't want to do anything if we often gamble, especially when we are old. But I think if we gambled a lot from a young age, we might have spent a lot of money and could probably spend everything we had to gamble. Therefore, it is best that from now on, we can reduce our gambling activities and focus more on supervising our children and accompanying their lives so that they can develop better than us. By guiding our children from now on, they will also guide their children, meaning our grandchildren, not to spend money on gambling and, if possible, stay away from gambling.
The best thing would be to work hard when you are in your prime so that you can have a lot of wealth for when you retire, and once that time comes, if you make it alive and healthy, you can just sit back and enjoy life, and gambling should be a part of it. You can have your own house, your car, and everything else that you need in your life and have enough money to gamble whenever you want, not to earn money, but just to get entertained and have some fun since you don't have anything else to do and it's all your choice for how you want to spend your time.People who focus on such things early in their lives might miss the actual fun, though I don't mean that someone shouldn't have fun when they can but many people go wrong with things such as gambling, they take it too seriously and start thinking that they can make a fortune from it and that makes them lose whatever they have instead of getting a fortune out of it.

I will most likely gamble until I am older, health permitting, yes. Most gambling is online now so it’s easy to place bets from the comfort of your own home.
Occasionally though I go to a physical bookies, just for a change. A lot of the people in there betting are older men actually. They specifically bet on horses, I think it’s a generational thing. They like to walk to the bookies every day and sit in there for a few hours watching the races they’ve bet on. It’s probably a social thing for older guys, have a chat and a coffee etc.
Those that only gambled online do not understand how big is the social aspect on a physical casino, it is true you can gamble faster, cheaper and more comfortably from your home but the social aspect is nowhere near what you can find at those casinos, and it is one of its greatest charms as you can find people from all walks of life there and have interesting conversations or even make new friends, something that is not easy to do at that age.

Gambling at old age depends on the individual because if you take gambling as a means of entertainment when you are young, you will still see it that way even when you are old because you will be less busy and need to have some fun to make you remember of the days of your youth. I can say what will happen tomorrow, but from my own side I will love to gamble at old age if my children are all working and doing well. It means that I just have to relax and gamble with my old friends while we gist of the past days and so on.
This makes sense.
Gambling can be for any age as long as it is within the legal age limit and even way past retirement age. If you really see gambling as a means of entertainment and to have fun, then there is nothing wrong if you will still continue to play past your prime. As long as you have the funds to bet and play without compromising your priorities in life, then go on. But if you know it to yourself that you still haven't build your retirement fund once you grow old, then better to think twice. This is because you have to put your obligations to yourself first above anything else after you already do your job as a parent (assuming that you will be one). With this, you won't be a burden to your children once you no longer have the capacity to work and you will have a good lifestyle that you will enjoy for the rest of your life. One must not be a one-day millionaire to avoid preventable troubles later on.
Gambling platforms may have more advantages for the older age people. For example, an older person is usually able to control his emotions. They can take the right decision without hesitating between victory or defeat, which is difficult for others.
Furthermore, an older person has more gambling experience which makes them better and able to make better decisions about different gambling strategies.
Financial stability also increases in the case of seniors, allowing them to gamble in a tension-free environment. As they are older they are socially valued. They can spend their leisure time in gambling.
- You're partially correct. I believe that age is not the most critical factor; what truly matters is how long a person has been involved in gambling and the lessons they've learned from it. Older individuals may indeed have a wealth of life experience, but if that experience doesn't pertain to gambling, it may not be particularly valuable in this context. On the other hand, a younger person who has spent a significant amount of time immersed in the world of gambling, learning its intricacies and strategies, could potentially outperform an older individual with less relevant experience.Furthermore, an older person has more gambling experience which makes them better and able to make better decisions about different gambling strategies.

Deciding whether to gambler or not is indeed a decision that is difficult to prediction if when we were young we already liked gambling activities, however, every human being must have their own principles of life when they are old or in the future. I myself have these principles because I have our own point of view towards gambling, in my opinion gambling will never end if we continue to do this activity and are worried that we will be addicted to it until we get old and of course that is not very good, we definitely have a family and we definitely want our children not to follow the footstep of gamblers like ours, would not it be good if we were old and would give good guidance to our children and grandchildren instead of spending money on gambling?

No one knows about age and we don't know whether we will continue to gamble when we are old or not because we don't know for sure if we haven't felt it yet, but among us we definitely have plans for the future when we are old 50 and above.
I personally have my own plans for when I am old, maybe I don't want to do these activities although I have money to gamble because when I was young I was satisfied doing these activities. and when old age is mentioned, it is no longer the time for me to continue doing it, maybe I will spend my time at home enjoying my old age watching television and enjoying playing with my grandchildren without having to gamble which might bother my children if my children give me money I however I use it to gamble instead, not everyone has a pension fund when they are old so I think I will stay at home doing more useful activities while I can.
When a person is young their old age seems to be so far away they do not even think about it as it may seem as if it may never come, it is because of this reason that teachers and other people often ask them questions about their future so they begin to think about it, however knowing whether you will gamble during your old age or not seems like a difficult thing to guess, as only those that really love to gamble will know they will like to do so even at that age.I personally have my own plans for when I am old, maybe I don't want to do these activities although I have money to gamble because when I was young I was satisfied doing these activities. and when old age is mentioned, it is no longer the time for me to continue doing it, maybe I will spend my time at home enjoying my old age watching television and enjoying playing with my grandchildren without having to gamble which might bother my children if my children give me money I however I use it to gamble instead, not everyone has a pension fund when they are old so I think I will stay at home doing more useful activities while I can.
I cannot provide a certainty to answer this kind of question. There may be times when you have to stop gambling sooner than expected depending on the family's financial condition. So far I have prioritized my family's needs, some of the remaining money from my income is used for investing and the other part I use for gambling. When my income starts to decrease, I will stop gambling. I made this choice so that the money that should be used for family needs is not taken for gambling.
If you have convinced yourself that you can stop gambling and can still think about earning income for your family's needs, that means you are not a gambling addict, maybe you are just a gambler who might just have fun by gambling as entertainment, but only you know about yourself. it's good if you can still think about your family's needs because not all gamblers can think about that, I also do the same thing as you so I understand what you mean.I can also stop gambling at any time, as long as it is under good control, I gamble just for fun and it is still just entertainment, it will not be a big problem for me, but if we talk about how long it is true, we cannot measure the time when we will stop, but the sooner the better because of course not many families want us to gamble for too long.
I'm not sure if I'm going to reach a certain age. I don't think that I will grow really old.
Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I think that I'm not going to make it. Another thing is that I hate making long term plans.
You never know what is going to happen tomorrow, so making plans about what you are going to do with your life at the age of 70 or 80 seems ridiculous. I will keep wasting time and money on gambling in the upcoming years. I have no intent to quit.
Mapping out plans for long-term, ofcourse that doesn't suit our standards, one could not predict what will happen the next minute or hour, this is life and it comes with unexpected results, more reason we should prepare ourselves to face the worst. For me, I'm sticking to making good plans that I'm aware won't affect me. Old age will catchup with all of us, is just a matter of time, some of us will live up to old age while some will not, we just hoped for the very best out of life. Why would I want to engaged in gambling activities till old age? Ofcourse I'm able to gamble at my youth and have experience both good and terrible scenarios in gambling. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I think that I'm not going to make it. Another thing is that I hate making long term plans.
