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.
Topic: Will you gamble till old age or not - page 8. (Read 2227 times)
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.

Gambling is from the mind and not from the age so even when you are old and you mind is there to do it, you are free to do and I have seen old people in the gambling halls though they are not much compare to young guys in the gambling halls. And another thing we have have to know is that, we have to work hard when we are young so when we grow old we can rest and enjoy our youth labour. Really it is not good when you are gambling at the old age. You gamble from the youth age till old age, Why? It doesn't look nice. You can sort to other businesses and do business at your old age and my gambling. Now when you enter the betting hall and you didn't see any of your age mate how will you feel? It will s better for him to do business and leave gambling for the young.
When we are old and enter the betting room but don't see friends our age, we won't be as excited because we can't bet with each other. Indeed, gambling doesn't wait for us to be old or for us to be young because gambling can come to anyone regardless of whether they are young or old. But when we are old, we should enjoy our old age and no longer think about gambling, especially if we were young, we could make a lot of money and have a business, which means we no longer lack money. It would be better for us so that we can focus on old age and maybe donating some of the wealth would be better than using it for gambling. When people are elderly, they should rest, they should not make too much physical and mental effort, mainly because they can easily have diseases linked to the heart, which in a way would easily cause them great harm. for example while a 25 year old person can gamble and lose money in a casino and not get sick because of that loss, let's take an example that a 25 year old person placed $1000 on a bet and lost everything but the money he put in this bet it was money intended to buy food, the guy was sad about the loss of the money, but because he is young he can easily work until he saves the $1000 and buys food
Now looking at the same scenario with an old person, something like a 65 year old person, if a 65 year old person takes $1000 and puts it in a bet and loses everything, then this old person who is 65 years old He could have a heart attack due to him being very nervous about having used money that was meant to buy food for himself. and as he is 65 years old, he will not have the physical strength to work and save the 1000$ to buy food. That's why, in my opinion, old people shouldn't play games, it's not good for their age, I wouldn't play if I were old

When the gambler was get into the younger ages,So he get more affection to the gambling.Most of the experienced gambler will play the gambling till their old ages.Being an gambler,I had wish to play the gambling till my old ages.But to play the gambling at the old ages,you should hold the money for the old ages.The gambler should build the assets which give the regular income at the old ages.Mostly the house rent will be the suitable one for the gambler to play the gambling at the old age using the rent money.So it’s easy to rotate the money at the old age time for the gambler.Or else it’s hard for gambler to play at old age.

I'm unsure whether my answer will remain the same as I age, but I want to quit gambling before I turn 60. I understand that there might be a lot of free time during retirement, which could lead me to consider gambling again. I'm interested in finding out about other enjoyable activities since I'm unsure whether I'll still be able to visit the casino and gamble at that age or have the funds to do so.
Why would you select age 60? I'm just curious. I would say that if you aren't sure if you'll have the funds available at age 60, then maybe gambling right now is not quite such a good idea. 60 isn't really all that old either. I understand peoples cognitive decline starts to kick in around that age, but most people in their 60's are just as sharp as they were in their 50's or perhaps even 40's.
As I reach the age of 60, I will come to rely on my monthly pension. It would be unwise to continue gambling at that point in my life. Furthermore, the pension amount provided in our country may not be sufficient to cover the medical and daily expenses required for senior citizens.
I myself to stop gambling is conditional with my situation later, if the age of 60 is still enough money and I still need pleasure from gambling, I will be happy I will do it, but I don't think it will be like that as long as gambling, especially if I really become People who are busy until old age later.
Gambling for me is just an entertainment so there is no reason for me to quit. Quitting is for those who are addicted to gambling. For now I still has no time for it, maybe next time when time comes I have extra money. From now on I will be gambling responsibly of course.
This is subjective and depends on the development of your personality, if you feel you still need entertainment from gambling and you have enough money, I don't think it will be a problem, but I remind you not to force the pleasure of gambling if your finances are not so good, more Good looking for fun that does not spend money. Gambling is from the mind and not from the age so even when you are old and you mind is there to do it, you are free to do and I have seen old people in the gambling halls though they are not much compare to young guys in the gambling halls. And another thing we have have to know is that, we have to work hard when we are young so when we grow old we can rest and enjoy our youth labour.

You can sort to other businesses and do business at your old age and my gambling. Now when you enter the betting hall and you didn't see any of your age mates how will you feel? It will be better for him to do business and leave gambling for the young.
Many of the old people decide to even gamble more than they did while they were young, but then it still has its own high limitation that the gambler needs to set up on their own at that age.
Gambling for me is just an entertainment so there is no reason for me to quit. Quitting is for those who are addicted to gambling. For now I still has no time for it, maybe next time when time comes I have extra money. From now on I will be gambling responsibly of course.
If you consider gambling only as entertainment and never get addicted to continuing to do it with any money, I think that is also quite good for you because you can still live in peace when you don't gamble. I also don't often gamble blindly except when there is money that I really want to spend on gambling, because I will never use my daily necessities to gamble even though it can give me entertainment and pleasure when I win. 
We may not entirely know who we will become when we grow old, however, we can choose a path that will make us a better person in the future. I understand that you were young and such juvenile age is when a lot of mistakes are made, but our fate isn't just randomly spun, we make it happen, and in your case, it could have been your environment, peers, etc. Also, don't be so hard on yourself; no one's story is perfect as they may have flopped in one way or the other too.
It's normal when we are young to make many mistakes, but if we can learn from those mistakes, we can become wiser in responding to what happens to us. We can also make better decisions than before. And regarding our decision not to gamble in old age, that is each person's decision because old people may still gamble. After all, they want to remember when they were young and gamble with friends in their youth. However, some people decide to stop gambling when they have a family because they don't want to experience problems that will impact their family. The important thing is that we can be responsible for ourselves and not get into any problems.
Gambling for me is just an entertainment so there is no reason for me to quit. Quitting is for those who are addicted to gambling. For now I still has no time for it, maybe next time when time comes I have extra money. From now on I will be gambling responsibly of course.
Yes, as long as you are still in proper control and consider it as entertainment there will be no limits for you to gamble even when you are old, because everyone has their own life choices even though I also think the same as you, I might be different and maybe I will stop when starting to have grandchildren or looking old, because it is better to find entertainment and pleasure by playing with grandchildren and family than gambling.I think gambling until we are old will not make us continue to feel happy, instead we will feel bored with boring games because we are used to gambling that is played for too long, obviously it will make us feel bored even though it is still just entertainment, at least limit the time when we have to stop gambling. So being able to enjoy old age with your family is very important. because entertainment is not always through gambling.

Well, gambling in old age can be very fun, most especially if the man have a lot of money and is financially comfortable, and he also have good friends too who are financially comfortable too, i can picture several evenings and night they all sit around a table, with drinks and some good meat to eat, then gambling and chanting and just having fun, what other way to enjoy ones retirement if not to do that which one loves and do it with other people who are very happy doing the same thing. So yeah, for me, i will still gamble even in old age, as long as i am very rich, and have reliable sources of income, and my gambling is mainly for entertainment purposes and not to try to make money, for anxiety kills faster in old age, so it's very risky to try to deal with anxiety from gambling loses in old age.
For myself, I honestly will not target how long I will or should gamble because of course gambling is still a bad activity especially in terms of risk and impact, especially if my financial condition does not allow it in my old age and I might look for other fun activities rather than gambling. Yes I agree, it's true that as we get older our anxiety will also increase, so for me it's better to reduce gambling from now on, I don't target to gamble in old age because if you just want fun then there are many other things that are fun and also certainly not risky.

Gambling at 60 have different interpretations with the most likely that the person did not meet up in life. It could actually be a sort of habit or addiction which no one can dispute but at 60, priorities ought to change and some of the habits of younger people seize being enticing. I do not wish to continue gambling at 60 because by that time I should be relaxed and enjoying the proceeds from my investments, traveling when I need to and doing light exercise and not to engage myself in anything that will be emotionally demanding. This age requires a lot of rest, both physically and mentally and gambling is surely not one of such things that brings rest in any form.
Old age is actually a gift that should be used very well. Apart from my personal comfort and peace, I will spend a great part of my old age mentoring the next generation. I have to transfer my wealth of experience to the next generation and that is a way of ensuring my legacy is passed on.
and this is why they would really be doing things which they do seem that they could really be able to attain such peace and entertainment.
For some then gambling is never been that a peaceful thing but rather it do gives out that kind of stress or something that worries them.

The important thing is that we can be responsible for ourselves and not get into any problems. 
I can’t really predict the future but all I can say is that if I still have passion for my favorite games when I get old and I still can access my internet to make my betting online without any issue or if I can work down the betting shop without feeling any pains due to stress or bond weaken base old age, then I think I can still place a bet.
That's true having a passion on something is what matters and we no that in gambling irrespective of the challenges and risk involved on gambling there are so many fun on gambling especially when we go to betting shops and listening some funny conversation and discussion there is this excitement you will feel. So just like you said future determines if I will continue gambling or not, but with the passion I have for sports and betting perhaps if at my old age I still have the strength to gamble, I will like to gamble by going to the gambling shop to play it myself in other for me to engage myself on those gambling discussion because I have aserious passion on gambling discussion, and perhaps by that time my goal of gambling may not really focus on the wining aspects but because of the joy I may be deriving from it.
`
Actually, there is nothing wrong with having plans for our future. At least we have guidelines; that's up to us if we try to make it happen in the application that's arguing. It's just like my experience before: I didn't want to become a gambler, and I even said then that I would never become a gambler.
But what I said didn't happen because I was still a gambler and tried to do it here in the crypto space. But this doesn't mean that I gambled in crypto gambling was bad, of course not, because I'm not an addicted gambler; I'm just doing it just for fun. That's what I do if I win, thank you; even if you lose, thank you because you enjoyed and were entertained; it's that simple.
We shouldnt overlook the bigger picture. Trajectories alter. Aversions become passions tomorrow. Congratulations on considering gambling as amusement and taking both wins and losses in stride. Even pleasant gambling has risks. Setting limits and being watchful are crucial. Staying grounded is as important as enjoying the ride.
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.
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.
My first question to you is, How old are you? How sure are you that, at the age of 42, you will stop gambling? Why do you stop gambling? Apart from the things I have already asked you, let's assume that you can do that, and that is what you know about yourself. You can do it; why don't you start now? Why wait until you're 42 years old when you can quit anytime you want?
Maybe later, at the age of 42, we can't say that you suddenly had an addiction to gambling. Do you think you can just stop gambling if you become an addict? These are just some of my questions.
That gives people goals to look for, so who am not judging that behavior, but in reality no one knows what kind of person they will be when they grow old. At least i didn't have a clue. In fact i was quite naive about it and if i told my younger self what i am doing. I guess he would be all over for the idea of bitcoin and futurist tech. And probably tried to live as some kind of crypto anarchist.
I also think he would be disappointed on my choices, like my gambling. I had a vision of being someone successful but i didn't know that would require me to grow
But younger me was also an idiot, if i would listen to that person, it would just mean i hadn't grow at all.
We may not entirely know who we will become when we grow old, however, we can choose a path that will make us a better person in the future. I understand that you were young and such juvenile age is when a lot of mistakes are made, but our fate isn't just randomly spun, we make it happen, and in your case, it could have been your environment, peers, etc. Also, don't be so hard on yourself; no one's story is perfect as they may have flopped in one way or the other too.
