There are some old people in my family which are paying cricket fantasy games. They usually talk about the games and their performance is matches almost daily. It is obvious that if any younger guy in family will listen about this, he will also be eager to know more about this. How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?

Communication, this is one way to be able to emphasize to those older people who often talk about or do various activities, you must be able to discuss that they must keep their distance or at least discuss these games outside the reach of children or the younger generation in your family.
Hearing or seeing this activity too often cannot immediately make feel curious and try it, but over time it can have the impact of wanting to try what some parents do, this is reality that anyone should be able to avoid.
Even though they may not allow their children or the younger generation in your family to take part, it will be much more dangerous if they try and take part in such activities out there, because they can get out of control and even tend to cause undesirable things to happen, such as addiction.

Moreover, you also have to give direction and advice to all the younger generations in your family that every activity that has been carried out by these older people should not be imitated, let alone just tried for fun.
You must be able to provide good education so that they avoid any activities related to gambling or betting games.

Is it that possible that you will allow children constantly see you do a thing and you think they won't imitate you in doing so too behind you just because you had spoken to them not to do it. It's should be that you don't do it right in front of them at all because it's a mirage to assume they will adhere to your caution.

Children learn about 90% of all they start with in life from the older people that are always close to, what they see them do, talk, or listen to all the time. Children look up to us and in their innocent mindset they are consumed with the believe that we the older generation to them knows the best and whatever we're doing is the best which makes them follow our footsteps.

Anything you don't want your kids to engage in never do it in their presence, gambling games is a fun and entertaining activity and you think children wouldn't want to have fun too with it after they have been seeing daddy , uncle and older cousin's that are like their first role model meshing themselves in it ???

It's going to be very hard because of what environment you grow up with, and obviously it will have a big impact on the young generations specially if they see the old ones playing and gambling and so they can influence them.

I guess the best thing to do is try to talk to them early so that they won't be sway on playing or at least lessen the effects on them. Just tell them to just focus on their study and what having a good education can do for them in the future. And so you will also guide them, this is not just a one time attempt, you should stay with them specially if you are the parents.

Absolutely can happen but this only tends to occur if said younger audience doesn't have anything their attention is concentrated in. Find him a hobby of sorts really or something simple he can do that can lead to something he can aspire in the future. Not necessarily studies, even drawing or building figures can be a good past time as well as a push towards jobs related to those industries. Those are the more relatively light or easy methods of trying to get him away from the influence of gambling though.

Outside of that, it's purely just communication with the other party. Trying to talk them out of stopping convos like that around the kid or having a completely separate space for them instead would be for the best. It depends on the age but at a certain point, maybe around 17,18, if the issue still persists, just let them try it out for a bit. At least they know what they're doing and has someone to guide them unlike if they try to enter alone and blow god knows whose money.

Yes, the older generation can be a factor that causes the younger generation to engage in gambling activities. We must be able to realize from the start that gambling is a bad act, especially if the younger generation continues or learns what the older generation does, it will have an impact on their future, because usually the younger generation learns. from what they see and hear, if you see the older generation carrying out gambling activities in front of the younger generation or children, it would be better if you gave advice to the parents not to carry out gambling activities openly in front of the younger generation, this will influence younger generation to follow in his footsteps.
If the older generation is still determined to carry out these activities without considering your advice then you must be firm and make the older generation afraid and not reckless in using gambling in front of the younger generation.

actually the environment is the main factor for the younger generation to carry out positive and negative activities, I mean if your environment is dirty and likes to throw rubbish carelessly then the younger generation will follow these actions, just as your environment is full of gamblers then the younger generation will also follow the trend what parents do and will really influence the younger generation if they let it go, and if your environment is filled with positive things then the younger generation will also be carried away into doing positive activities, so the main point is actually that the environment really influences the growth and development of the younger generation if you want The younger generation or your children are safe from negative things, it would be better if you moved away from an environment that does negative things such as gambling.

The secret with kids, despite being attentive and wise, they don't cease to obey the most kind of adults. Often get them goodies, engage in different form of exercise with them, could be trekking and dancing. The kids won't have reason to sit around where gambling discussion thrive. Having fun is their major priority, like a utility. Provide the kids with fun events, use it to purchase their loyalty. When you've noticed they are loyal and ready to listen to your instructions, henceforth, share your advise with them. Begin by correcting those who already envision being gamblers like the older generations they've been listening to their lengthy conversations. Follow up with studies, asking kids about their assignments in school. Lastly, instruct them to take siestas, once they get used to sleeping in the afternoon. Nothing will ever attract them to the company of gamblers. They'll begin to think better and act reasonably, focusing on their studies and resting when necessary. Reward their performances in school. It's simple to drive kids away from bad influence. No need rushing it, or advising them to stop being with the older ones. They'll gradually begin to change and start a fresh behavior, once you begin to follow such routines as these. It's just the few I can add, but you're expected to have a unique way as well. Depending on the emotional intelligence between you and the kids. Good you noticed this earlier, and seek for means to save the kids. We can't depend or wait on the government for everything. It's our duty to take it upon ourselves to restore our nation's dignity.

A lot of the things we do while growing up were things we saw our parents or elders do while we were kids. This should be part of the reason a topic was raised here suggesting that we should not gamble before our kids ekse they will emulate us and this can have huge negative impact on them.

So the direct answer to this is a yes, the old generation does influence the younger generation to adopt gambling. Just imagine how many coverts a family will have when the dad happens to hit a life-changing jackpot. Even people that hears the testimony will join up to several generations to come.

The fore fathers are all into gambling, and they all did it for fun, this is normal thing, but as time goes on they start betting money and valuable things, this should have no issue with your family, I grow up with my parents and they have never gamble in my front before, I knew my grand father too and I've never seen him gambling before.

Children only tend to do what is been practiced around them, if you or anyone in your house is not into gambling I believe things will be fine, and while you kid grows up the next thing to do is avoid giving him space, not the tiger parenting type but good monitoring, you will be able to know the type of friends he keep in school.

Gambling is not a curse on your grand children because of your own parents are into gambling, it makes no sense, keep your environment clean, kids do whatever they see, set a good example around them, and teach them about the wrong friends that can change one's destiny.

You know most of the things we find ourselves doing today is as a result of what we saw the older ones doing or discussing about. No matter how our elders tries to hide things from us we still find out what they are trying to hide from us when we start growing up and for me instead of hiding a habit that someone feels it's not okay for another person that is close to them to get involved in why not come in the open and tell them about that habit and the disadvantages of them being involved in such a habit rather than keeping it away from them. It is believed that no matter how you hide things from the younger ones, someday they're gonna find out and they will feel it has advantages that's why you kept it away from them and before you know it they're already involved in it.

It is important to let our younger ones know about a habit that we ain't much comfortable with and tell them the dangers in it as it will help them to stay away from such habits because they are already aware of the harm it will cause to them should they get involved.

In order to properly manage younger need to create a suitable environment for them. And in this case those who are elderly members of the family should think about this matter. The younger always try to follow the older. When a family has a discussion about a topic almost most of the time, the kids will be encouraged to learn about that topic. I think if you can convince those members to point out the negative aspects of the discussion, then those people will definitely try to refrain from discussing the game. If they take precautions, it can stop its impact on the younger.

Thing is, you can't really control what the kids in your family will do next. You can only influence it. The key is to not suppress their interests but guide them to understand what their priorities should be. Games are cool, cricket fantasy games especially are super fun, but they shouldn't let it get in the way of their studying. Just keep in mind that every individual has a unique way of understanding so know what peeks their interest.

I believe that we must understand why "we bet".
Do you do it for fun? it's great! Are you doing it to "make money"? stop!
you have to study mathematics, finance and a (bit ;D of) statistics and then we'll talk about it again about the argument...

obviously (my personal opinion) gambling seen as pure fun is literally fantastic and amazing.
my father played the "lotto". I never played a euro even though he followed it every week for many many years.

so even if a person is exposed to certain topics, it doesn't mean he ends up repeating certain behaviors ::)

Older people need to be careful what they discuss and the language they use around young underaged people who they know they can easily influence. The situation will be difficult to control, unless you are able to tell the older people to be more careful when they discuss about their cricket games. Before these people start these discussions, they have to be sure that there are no young people in sight who may be influenced to want to try out gambling at their early age due to their discussions.

Growing up, children pick up a lot from the people around them, which is why it's usually advised to avoid doing bad things in their presence or discussing adult topics around them. A child learns best when they are young because they process information more quickly, believing that everything they see or hear is good and wanting to learn more or even do it themselves. Children should not be exposed to adult content in order to prevent them from learning from it. Even though kids can learn things on their own these days thanks to computers and other resources, although it's preferable if they don't learn all this things at home from their parents or family members.

To stop them from learning about cricket fantasy games and gambling you need to stop discussing about it in their presence and also you need to stop playing it when they are around and the most important thing is to educate them about the dangers of gambling and how bad it is for them to participate in it, also if at all possible, you should also make up lies to them in order to discourage them from playing in the future in case peer pressure influences them. At these young stage children are likely to believe what their elders tell them.

Habits or behavior usually come from the frequency of things we see, say or hear. So it's not impossible that the older generation could cause gambling habits in the younger generation if the younger generation continuously listens to this.

We know that the younger generation is a generation that's hungry for experience, they usually want to know and try everything (especially new things), if this innateness is triggered by something else, then that happens.

We must teach our children what will be useful to them in their lives, and this initiative must come from us, the parents.

Children do not understand what is bad and what is good until their parents explain the difference to them, it is our task to try to give the children the best we can, but what they will do when they grow up will depend only on them.

It seems to me that people get acquainted with gambling when they reach the age of majority, in this case everything will depend only on their choice, parents here can only advise something, but will not be able to influence much.

The first point of stop is for the parents to desist from discussing and disclosing their gambling habit to their children. Such parents should learn to live responsibly and understand that parenting is something important. Whatever you do around the kids, they pick on it easily.

You can't have children in the house and you expose them into what they are not yet ready for because they might even be learning and practicing in it in a more dangerous way. Okay just imagine where the child gets hold of his father's phone while he was still logged in to the gambling app and the child bet on the total balance in the account and it was lost  Probably you have $100,000 on the account.

Wrong exposure can be bad for children.

If you must secure them when the discussion begins you can asked them to limits their discussion since is affecting the life's of young people, go directly to those old men or old generation as you said to reduce their discussion not to infects or poisoning the heart of those young people. As an educated individual you are always protect them and make sure they don't involved in a discussion with those old men otherwise they might gets affected, then sometimes it all depends on personal interest whomever that doesn't have interest for gambling may not pick up interest and to look into their discussions.

You can invite the younger generation in your family to do other things while the older generation gathers and talks about their appearance. You don't need to be confused about this because what you need to pay attention to is the younger generation in your family. As long as the younger generation in your family is busy and keeps themselves busy doing these things, it seems safe for them not to get carried away by those things.

Indeed, sometimes the younger generation begins to be interested in taking part in conversations with the older generation. But if their parents remind them to do things the way they usually do, they will quickly abandon the talk of the older generation. Maybe you can tell the older generation not to talk about games and gambling too often if the older generation is around. This is to prevent the younger generation from getting carried away with the conversation.

Everything needs to be discussed carefully between you and the older generation. At least, that's what my extended family does, especially when there are things that our younger generation shouldn't listen to. And so far, it has worked so I suggest the same to you.

You may try to explain how gambling works and how it makes people poor in the long run but it is up to this fella if he will listen to your words or follow the actions of his older family members. In the end he will do what he is gonna do. He may even get angry and call you a boomer if you overdo it. If you really like this youngster you need to be smart about the words you choose. If he has the smarts, he will get what you are trying to tell him and realize how dumb his parents really are which will bring a whole new set of problems.

Let us get this right. The old men are playing cricket game for fun or they are using it to gamble? But let me assume that you mean that they are using it to gamble because if they are just playing the game for fun, there is nothing bad for your child to also know some things about sport in life, not everything is about studying, life is also about exposure.

If the old men are using it to gamble, the only thing that you can do is to encourage your child, let him know what gambling is and how some people can be addicted. Let me tell you something, the problem is not about gambling, but about addiction. Just always advise your child how gambling can lead to addiction and what can come out of addiction.

You advise will let him know not to waste money on gambling and the child may likely even not gamble and if he later gamble, he will still remember your advice not to get addicted.

The older members of the family can explain to the younger generations about the game they are playing if there's constant communication between the family I don't think there will be any problem at all as long as they limit their exposure to this type of game which may lead to gambling.

If the children have respect for their elders and they are taught the values of the most important thing in life and what they should prioritize I don't think there will be a problem when they are growing up being exposed to this type of game.

      -  There is another topic here in the gambling section: you shouldn't show children how you play gambling online so that they don't imitate you as much as possible. This is what others do, so as much as you can, don't show it, and even if you keep it a secret from them, you should also explain that gambling is not good for children like them.

So, I think this is the best solution to the topic you made, mate, as long as you can do it secretly so that minors don't hear or see it so they can focus properly on their studies.

You'll have no way on stopping them if it's the talk in your family. But if you can change the attention of theirs by having some other things to get introduced to them. Then that's possible that you'll revert the attention of the younger ones into the things or hobbies that you're going to tell them.

So, it's all about distraction and it will depend on how interesting is the activity, story or anything that you're going to say to them. Because if they don't find it attractive and they're just going to give you an idea that they don't like to listen to you, you just have to give it up and despite being concerned on them, you did your best but they've chosen what they want to hear.

Firstly, you have to understand that Cricket is a game, except for the gambling approach given to it which is somewhat vague in your OP.

Taking part in games isn't bad, its part of the exepcted curriculum of schools, however, you have to explain this to the younger guy and let him know that he must have his education prioritised over the cricket games while growing up but also be careful as you may not want to waterdown his interest, in cases where playing cricket as a carrier is the person's destiny, be careful enough not to kill entirely the passion the person has for the game.

Do you believe parents are role models for the younger generation? The younger generation will absorb and follow what is in their environment, including the habits of their parents. So parents need to set an example and be a good role model for their children, especially as the younger generation you mean is still at an early age. Teach them to be responsible individuals, you can do this to prevent them from listening to their parents' conversations discussing cricket betting or sitting with them watching matches on television.

Assign responsibility to them in all areas related to their daily lives, you can also ask them to focus more on their studies. Build communication with them by asking about their daily lives, including the field of study they are currently pursuing. If necessary, offer them a small prize if they get the best grades at school, in this simple way they will be more motivated because they get support for what they are doing.

Our ancestral gambling attitudes does not get transferred to us in this our generation because gambling is a physical entertaining event that is not genetically related or transmittable from one generation to another, so when our own parents are gambling, we cayb choose to be a gambler or not, this is our own decisions, also if they gambles but we were raised in an environment that does not permit for gambling, we may not have like on gambling, because the environmental influence also contributed alot about gambling because we often see it around us.

Being concerned itself alone shows that you are reasonable and wise at the same time, older people should be sensitive and cautious about the younger ones around them, it goes a long way in inculcating good habits in them rather than being a bad influence in their lives. Good or bad, what young people start learning at an early age might be difficult to let go of when they are old, it might become part and parcel of them as it's part of their foundational life.

My advice for you is to first let these young people know the difference between gambling and gaming (casual). If it's being done without any money involved, there is nothing bad about it, it's just gaming and playing. But if money is involved, they should know that it's not a good thing for the persons of their age. Let them know only the bad side of gambling and the danger therein. But most importantly, if money is involved in any gaming activities, you older people should never let the younger ones know about it if they are not of adult age. This is applicable to both offline and offline activities.

This is going to be a problem as you can't stop the younger family members in your family from associating with the older guys but what you can do is to talk to the older guys to be careful of what they discuss when the younger family members are around. Let them understand that they're impacting the ideas to want to try what they're discussing about and it can have a negative impact on their life as they'll start picking interest in gambling from a very young age.

Also take time to educate the younger family members so they understand the effect of gambling and let them know the negative effect more and that gambling shoudn't be considered a career path in life but as a means of entertainment that should only be done with spare money. If you put this idea in them, they'll grow up not been interested in gambling and the discussion by the older family members won't have an impact in their life. We should be careful of our environment as they affect us always.

It depends to a child if they want to be like one of their seniors, I believe that being involved in a gambling or gambling addiction is not hereditary but it can be pass to the younger generation because of the exposure of a child to that kind of activity which is really not suitable for their age. Kids are curious in everything, they have a habit that what they are used to seeing, they will do until they grow up.

I don’t see any problem in loving a sport and talking about it a lot. Members of your family obviously like the sport and talk all about it within themselves.

Yes, there is a good chance that the younger ones in your family could also feed off the enthusiasm of other family members and could begin to love, watch and discuss about the sport as well. I still fail to see a problem there. There’s also a possibility that the younger ones won’t develop much interest. You yourself don’t seem to share in their enthusiasm that much.

Having an interest in the sport and taking about it doesn’t mean other aspects of their lives would be neglected. While studying is undeniably still very important, it’s also fine and healthy even to indulge oneself in leisure and other fun activities.

Don't talk to the young people, talk to the old ones to stop doing that in front of them. I bet they should understand it more especially if they also have kids of the same age.
By talking to the kids you are just wrecking their innocence about the fantasy game. It's better if they know nothing about it.
But if it's too late then might as well keep them away from those old people that you said are playing it, maybe that way you could at least avoid them from getting attracted to it.
Sports is already a fun game for the kids because of it's competitive spirit. Kids don't need to put a bet to enjoy watching them so it will be better if they stay away from gambling. If they are your kids, you might as well keep checking their phones too while they are asleep and that's when you talk to them when you find out they are into gambling.

I have always said this that it is not right for older ones discussing about gambling in the presents of the younger ones or their kids because gambling could be an addiction and could ruin ones life who is not in charge of its emotional being at a depreciation or appreciations period of times.

Younger people nowadays are fast adopting and
quite enhancing to their endivoirs more than the older people whereas, they could adopt gambling uncontrollably and unconditionally with the eagerness of all to make money through it.

When I was growing up I met my dad being a womanizer and I grew up hoping to be like him too because I feels it is a good habit to be inherited.
I am still dependent to my parents yet I have got multiple girlfriends already then my dad shamed at me and asked me to let go such unprofitable lifestyle. It was then I told him that he should be proud of me because I am his image living after his legacy.

This is absolutely the effects of being loosed to the kids because they are fast learning most especially to unproductive engagements.

So I would ask every gambling parents not to learn in controlling their gambling experiences and not even the exciting (winnings) is Worth sharing in the midst of the kids because they have fragile and a sensitive abilities in adopting manners and lifestyles.

It can contribute for young generation to have an interest on what they are participating since constant discussion towards cricket fantasy games will create a curiosity on their side and provably young people in your family would provably try it so that they can also discuss their experiences to their old family member. And once they enjoy it either they would have a lot of fun with it or worst they get addicted then can't control their daily habits.

If you are worried about your young generation of family might experience the worst then its better to guide them up and open their minds about harsh reality of gambling so they could pay attention with it. Also don't push them to stop because you don't like it since you will just create a separation with them since for sure they will not follow you. Just make them realize that this is expensive way to have fun and for sure once they get enough they are the one who decide to quit.

There's nothing wrong with this, it's a healthy relationship if they are open about their individual achievement and their passion for one game

It depends on the age of the children if they are very young their fertile minds should not be exposed to something that will hinder them from focusing on the most important things in life, if the youngster can easily understand and he is nearing maturity you can talk freely in front of them provided that you will explain the positive and negative effects of what they are doing, its better that the elder in the family will be the one to explain this, than learning this outside of their homes, which will put them at risk.

As someone already mentioned, healthy communication is so important when it comes to getting kids to focus on school instead of games.  What I've found works is to set specific times that they're allowed to play - maybe after homework or only on weekends.  Making those rules clear upfront stops the arguing later. It also helps to talk with them about their goals and dreams and how getting a good education unlocks opportunities. 

The key is explaining it in a way they relate to, not just barking orders to study more.  And also realizing some gaming in moderation is normal and ok too.  I think it's all about balance.

Yes, it's actually a way to have a healthy relationship which is to have a discussion regularly including the daily activities and the same hobbies, just like gambling, with another family member. Which can also be compared to having a bottle of beer with your relatives and having fun with them.

Aside from that, if it's like a family gathering it means the kids and the adults have their own group of enjoying the gathering. The kids play with the other kids, while the adults enjoy their fun talks with adults. If the kid gets curious about gambling which he possibly heard, the adults can give a few words to that certain kid and explain the positive and negative effects of gambling.

Success can occur if the younger generation in your family doesn't pay much attention to the casino activities carried out by their parents, maybe the percentage is only 40% and most likely that 60% will run a casino. In my opinion, the environment has a very important influence in encouraging someone to gamble, especially in a family environment so it is very quick to do it.
So from here you can see the character of each young generation in your family, whether they will be easily influenced by casinos, there is definitely one of them who doesn't like casinos, so you have to provide good education to them so that they will be better in the future.

Children learn from the behaviour of adults around them. I remember smoking already smoking some trashed cigarettes because my father was an addicted smoker. What you don't want the younger ones to perform, don't do it before them. In fact, don't even talk about them when these kids are around. I discuss gambling with friends outside the house because I don't want my younger ones to know that I indulge in it. However, teenagers or adolescents should be informed about gambling. This is because they will be exposed to it in school, social media or anywhere else. So these sets of children should be taught about responsible gambling and the consequences of gambling addiction. They should know that gambling is not an option for them now because they have more important things like studies, social skills and others to handle.

you will not be able to stop what is inherited by human DNA, well here we are talking about gambling, when there is someone who gambles in your family then he will definitely pass on this trait to his future descendants, which of course is not all of his descendants who will get the inheritance DNA ^(habit), if he has 3 children then 1 of them will definitely be a gambler.  Apart from that, when your surroundings discuss gambling, sports or whatever is around you, it will automatically spread to those who are listening, they have to be able to blend into the conversation so they don't look like fools.

it all depends on each person mindset, even though you are the young generation in your family while your whole family gambles but you dont want to gamble to avoid bad effects, of course whatever happens you won't want to know about gambling and I say this also about a strong stance not to try gambling even if your family is a gambler.

and if you are starting to think about stopping gambling in the younger generation, maybe you can give advice to other younger brothers and sisters not to try gambling by telling them about the bad effects of gambling too often and dont force yourself to tell the older generation every once in a while to stop betting because its like forcing other people enjoyment rights which you dont deserve and you have to understand that because someone who is old usually does not have other fun activities so they choose to gamble maybe just for their fun activities so dont occasionally tell them to stop gambling but try advise your younger generation not to engage in even the smallest amount of gambling and dont appear pushy.

You can join in the conversation and give add in a tone of gambling being bad in your own. Attempt to draw the conversation to things that get people addicted and how gambling can hurt people and their and near ones lives. You can also introduce websites that list such bad events and allow the younger member to read and ask questions.

It is a type of manipulation but a necessary one, in order to save their immature brain from falling into the wrong path. As they grow older, show them how gambling works and also show them the demise of addicted gamblers. If they are mature enough by then, they would not touch gambling at all.

There are two options:
1. Kick the old people in your house.
2. Move to a new house, country, etc without them.

Don't argue with me by saying moving to a new house is hard, need to respect or care with the old people, don't have enough money etc, that's mean the case will never ever solved except when their time comes.

You can't do the first option since out of respect for sure you will just ignore what they are talking about. And option two maybe hard to do especially if you only have limited resources and you might struggle to find new house to stay.

Much better if you deal with those things they are talking about and just tell them not to talk about those things since their are young people listening to their discussion. For sure they will stop and understand your point and I'm sure that they don't also want their young kids to get involve with gambling at early stage. Proper discussion can settle all of that so they should engage and be open with this discussion so they can set some rules once there are children's listening to them.

There are a lot of people here who have expressed personal opinions and observations, so I've decided to go down a slightly different road. I've found a couple of interesting scientific articles that are relevant to this topic.
One (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5723410/) is about assessing genetic and environmental components of gambling addiction. While this research might have its limitations, it points out that male gambling seems to have a greater genetic component than female gambling, and environmental impact is noticeable on women but not on men. Taking that into account, perhaps the older generation discussing gambling has a different impact based on the sex of those of the younger generation.
The second article (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10899-023-10211-4) explores the impact of parental gambling on children, and it says that maternal gambling (compared to paternal gambling) is associated with higher risk of lifetime gambling problems of children. So perhaps there's also a difference of who among the older generation discusses gambling.

I think you are giving a suggestion or solution that is too difficult my friend although basically it is a pretty good action for prevention, of course there will be many reasons that are a big barrier to doing or following advice like you  said, an I'm sure maybe only a small percentage can do that without any preparation. I think if there is one parent in your family whether it's your parents or your grandparents who likes to gamble then one of the things we can do is not to leave the neighborhood but I think we should help them to resolve their bad habits, whether it's trying to make them stop or even just reduce it.

Because of course even if you go away and stay away from the neighborhood there will still be times when you come back, and also on the other hand if you are not the victim who is carried away on the other hand there must be other family members who are also carried away. So I think that even though you are still young, there is nothing wrong if you confer with other family members to help eliminate the bad habits of the elderly in any way and I think there are still several ways that can be chosen  such as some good advice to them or even if it is still not possible then you can put the parents in the shelter of the elderly and not give them access to any gambling.

In my family, not many of the younger generation join in chatting or listen to the older generation discussing, because according to the family it's not polite, but if there really is a younger generation out there like that, I don't think it's easy for them to be influenced by the gambling habits of the older generation, because Usually every young generation has an ethic not to join them and listen to that.

I think they should focus more on their studies rather than following the behavior and gambling habits of the older generation that is with them, although sometimes there are younger generations who are addicted to gambling because of their family environment or their circle of friends but not many are like that. My advice is that it would be best to advise the older generation to keep anything related to gambling away from the younger generation so as not to be influenced and learn about gambling, especially the younger generation who are underage.  >:(

I think you have a point, it's just about each one's thinking, even if they get a win and tell it to the young people in the family, if he himself is not interested in gambling then he will not be carried away by gamblings, because he has a strong stance because he knows gambling will damage his future if they have become addicted, and I have also heard the saying "Even if you win it's the beginning of defeat Even if you are rich it's the beginning of poverty".
But the saying "the fruit does not fall far from the tree" may also be true. But whatever, it's up to you to decide which things are good for the future, which are bad things that will cause difficulties in the future. The elderly should be able to set a good example for young people, not by inviting them to gamble if it is to tell stories it doesn't matter but it should also be considered that telling stories can attract young people to join gambling because they dont have a strong stance, except for those who have a strong stance,  maybe they won't be tempted by gambling at all.

Its obvious that the younger generation, especially those under 18, is influenced by the habits of the elder age, particularly their gambling habits. Research on behavior has demonstrated that the situation in your family is a component of a wider social trend. Youngsters imitate the interests and habits of their role models, particularly well-known adults.

There is more to this issue than just talks. Communication and family work need to change. Establish a setting that honors education and other constructive endeavors. The secret is to strike a balance and provide compelling arguments for individuals not to bet. Teach younger members about the dangers of gaming, the value and enjoyment of learning, and the advantages of education. Our goal is to prevent children from gambling and divert their attention toward enjoyable and constructive pursuits.

Isn't it simple ? Keep them away from such conversations and things that lead them to being carried away.
Young ones get influenced by people who are around them and so it becomes our duty to keep them in a happy surrounding.
You will have to keep them in surroundings where studies become a higher priority.

Yes, it is true that the environment is one of the driving factors for children to be affected by gambling, because usually we often see this and one day we will definitely try it too, it seems like we cannot avoid this situation, so indirectly we must always supervise our children and never Let him try gambling with parents who are in the circle, maybe guiding them is one of the right decisions we take, but this will not have a big impact on our child if we don't supervise him and forbid him from touching gambling games.

Moving away like relocating to a more serene environment where gambling is not prominent is surely a way to reduce children from picking from older generation gambling addiction. I have known of newly wedded or couples who just started bearing kids relocating out from the old environment to a new one because they want a different training from where they are coming from. People relocate because of certain habit they find not good for their children. So yes, relocating is a very good solution even though it wii require finance to accomplish because most of the environment that will not ghetto like lifestyle are more expensive.

The same in our country, the younger generation is not allowed to listen or even participate in the discussion of the adult generation. The younger generation is only allowed if they are directly being asked or asked by an adult regarding a specific topic. But if their tradition is the opposite, the adults should not let the younger generation listen to their gambling conversation because this will only make them curious and might be the trigger to start on gambling at an early age.

We can do it through discipline and having open communication with all the members of the family, it's better that all the members of the family not talk these things in front of their kids until such times they are old enough to understand what these gaming and gambling are about, kids are exposed to everything in the internet and there will be a point that they will gaming and gambling.

So instead of learning it from outside sources where they will be lost on how these things work let us be a member of the family and be the one to explain this to them so we can properly explain this to our children, the good and the bad sides of gambling should be considered when teaching them to our kids so they understand it and address this when they old enough to try this.

People never change, it's a mistake to hope them to change their habit. They're just change it temporary, sooner or later they will talk it by accident. Old people always think they're correct or they repeat it but say sorry, sorry isn't the solution.

Yeah it is, the point is eliminating the cause, not gambling in hoping someone to change.

Talking about any sports in the presence of these kids naturally have no adverse effect on them but when you discuss it as gamble, saying you probably make money off these games, regardless of the fact that they are kids, they would want to try it out maybe they would make their own money.

It's very important you to bring it in their presence that you gamble off your knowledge about the sport it should rather look like for the love of the game you have got so much knowledge about the game. Kid have a way of learning so fast especially when it has to be a bad habit, they would be swift with adopting such knowledge, if they finally get interested in discussing the game with you, you could possibly bring in their academics into it and discuss with them such incorporation helps them better.

Do you know why the gambling was still available in the community after 50 years of survival,this only due to the generation move of the gambling games.If one cock fighter was engaged in the gambling,he will teach the same cock fight to his son and his grandson.So by this way the cock fighting will be moved to the next generation.This also apply to the better of the cock fighting.Not only in the cock fight,this also the same phenomenon of the horse racing.Their was one proverb in my country,Like father and like son.So the cock fighting son will be like his father.No one need to say  him to behave like his father.He will do the cock fight and earn like his father.So this way of the approach to the cock fighting make the cock fighting to survive more than 50 years.In some country cock fighting was survive more than seven decades.

I think that will starts from you if you want to alter that situation. If you're into an extended family I think the head should be the one to enforce that gambling is prohibited even to be talked while at home but if the head is the one that initiates it, that's a real problem. Being apart from those who do gambling will stop it.

Well, sometimes the old people are right in their opinion because they have more experience and they are telling things based on their experiences. The new gamblers may not know about the things which the experienced gamblers know and therefore we can say that there is no alternative to experience.


Of course, if you talk about gambling in front of kids, sooner or later they will get to know about it and may get influenced to gamble if their elders are gambling and are much involved in gambling. Kids won't care about the end result or outcome of gambling, if they found their parents and elders brother sisters involved in gambling, they will just want to do the same and may force their parents to give them a chance to play and gamble.

Why not tell your older family members to only speak about gambling when the kids aren't around? I think within a family it should be possible to talk openly about issues and that there is the respect to not influence the upbringing of your kids. For me it all depends on the age of the kids, it's fine if the grand parents take their 14 year old grand children to play lottery or scratch cards. Also, isn't it possible to play fantasy league sports without betting real money on it? My experience with fantasy sport is very limited, but I think we can make a difference between the sport itself and the money being placed on their games. My grand dad gambled a lot and took me with him when he played the lottery every week and it didn't have a big impact on my own gambling. These days I rarely play the lottery and it's probably my least favorite game to play for money. Just be open with your family and tell them not to influence your underage children.

It is true that little boys and girls can retain everything they see in their brains. Here your family talks about gambling in front of young boys and girls I think that gambling and sports betting should never be exposed to young boys and girls because they will eventually become interested in gambling after hearing this. To stop all of this I would advise everyone in your family to keep the conversation away from small children. After that, they should not have such discussions with small boys and girls. It is good to discuss anything related to studies in front of the children to make them focus on studies.

I suppose "playing" was what you mean where you said "paying" right! By the ways, why do you dislike the cricket so much or you just want to break that generational bond from your kids?

Sports doesn't lies inside the gene, it's a physical appearance of it that makes people to fall in love with it. If you want your own children not follow the same pattern of love for cricket, you have to learn to make the kids stay away from them, it's might look like too odd but that is what I think is the best for the children because they are easily influence by what they see around and hear about. You may also talk to the elders not to say such things when you children are around, they will do as you say for the sake of them.

You might also want to start teaching them to love other new sports that you think might not affect them. It's not that hard, all you need is to spend more of your time with the children and give them all the attention they need to stay focus on what you want them to learn. You might also want to enroll them into other sports that doesn't involve them into gambling such as racing and other out door activities.

It is their fault of the elderly person in your family which are talking in front of the young generation.I think the young generation needs to be preserved very well from bad habits which honestly nowadays in the time where we live are in a lot of places.If we do not keep them safe by talking openly in front of them for bad things it is normally that they will be impacted and there is no escape from this.I think the elderly should talk about how studies will help you achieve a better life overall compared as if you do not study and end up doing really ordinary random jobs and not good ones,that is what elderly should do and not talk about cricket fantasy games.

Your take on family gambling and generational interactions is great. It ignores implicit learning's importance. While young people rarely engage in gambling talks, what about the subtle cues? Body language, excitement, and disappointment during debates are powerful teachers. Young people are often aware of environmental undercurrents even when not actively engaged.

Think about it: Lack of direct conversation doesnt mean no influence. Thinking ethics will prevent youth from embracing such practices is naive. Unspoken lessons in their environment can be equally influential, if not more so. While studying is important, can we disregard the ambient impacts of such familial habits? Isnt it harder to create an environment where healthy habits are modeled and discussed?

I want you to stop for a moment and think about this- all the older people in your family who play these fantastic game addicted to it? How is their lifestyle are there in depth because of these games how about their relationship with their spouse and their kids? If everything is okay with them I see no reason why you should act as a gatekeeper to prevent the younger ones from learning a thing or two from them.

Why do you want the younger generations of your family to focus only in studies? It's not healthy for anyone to focus only in one aspect of their lives, especially studies, which is a very stressing and exhausting one, which naturally demans the individual to focus on another matters to relief and relax through entertaining activities, including gambling, so they don't get exhausted, neither develop further diseases for that reason. There is not problem in being a studious person, while taking some breaks from times to times to gamble or do any other leisure activity.

You just have to guide the younger generations of your family to do this in a balanced way, explaining them the importance of the studies and the importance of having a moment of pleasure between the duties of daily life. Also, explain the risks of gambling and enlight them about the fact it's not a money making method, therefore, the older generations of the family must be losing money on long term. Is that what they want for their lives as well? I don't think so.

Hardly can you solve problems these days aggressively. The elderly people will feel harried, due to the hard thoughts of leaving a house, where to go, etc. When solving a problem, endeavor to amicably settle dispute for both parties to remain friends. If Op applies your haughty advise, the chaos can lead the older people to a heartbreak. First they need to be told, about the future impact of their discussion on the kids. Only a feeble-minded person will drive his relatives, neighbors or whoever they're to OP, away without prior warning. You've got nice decision, anything is worth it for the safety of those kids, but they're stages to every action. The two above can be applied when they're too stubborn and doesn't want to stop despite being warned by the OP. Remember freedom of speech. They didn't bully the kids. The old people only are having such discussions, ignorantly. Not everybody is privileged to be as intelligent as you're regarding the effects of discussing about gambling around kids. What if these kids hear similar conversations amongst school peers, without Op's knowledge, he'll be helpless. He should be thankful he's aware of the occurrence of such an open discussions. The aim is to change both the adults and the kids, hence it's crucial to be rational whenever we are hurt and wish to make decisions. Dialogue solves lots of problems, not even daffy behaviors of those elderly people can be exempted. Aggression, worsen issues, and we end up achieving grief, hatred and harebrained results.

I think that to avoid having situations where an elderly person in your family who is a regular at gambling leads to more games in your family playing games as well, you will need to look at their age first, then you need to look at what activities they all the days these young people have been doing, and where do they get money from and what is the maximum amount of money that these young people in your family can have per month. Let's imagine that in the first case you know that your young relatives are minors, in this case you could tell your parents so that they can inform the elderly person that they are involved in gambling so that they don't play in front of underage children. , I think that the elderly will have to respect the decisions of the parents of minors

In the second scenario you discover that the young people in your family are of legal age and unemployed and that their sources of money come from their parents' pockets, so you can talk to the elderly person so that he doesn't say anything to the young people about gambling anyway. Don't make young people start gambling and lose the little money their parents give them and then start selling their parents' goods to gamble. because we need to realize that getting a job is very difficult nowadays and everyone wants to earn a lot of money quickly and easily, young people because they are unemployed and in despair due to lack of money, they used all means to continue playing because they thought that you will be able to make a lot of money quickly

In the third scenario, you would know that all the young people in your family have jobs and wives, so you wouldn't have much to do other than give a warning to the elderly person not to say anything to the young people about gambling in the case of young people already are involved in gambling, then you can sit down with them and talk to them about the importance of not looking at gambling as a way of getting rich quick or a fixed income. You could also tell them about the risk of them becoming addicted and losing everything: money, jobs and wives

Indeed, playing will not always yield to addiction 'coz it is dependent to what kind of a person you are. To any kind of game, greed will be the underlying factor towards addiction. If they are playing cricket betting and they happened to be profitable in such way, the it would be fine adopting such habit especially if the individual to learn such behavior is no longer a minor; therefore he already has is own decision with almost everything. But if it is somehow a negative activity to ones who are doing it first, then I see no reason why it should be passed down to younger ones.

To be honest, in my experience, cases like this are difficult to find a solution for other than high awareness of these people. what I mean is, old people who still like to gamble. I remembered a thread discussing DNA and gen for gambling. in short, based on related threads. based on references to research results and scientific data, what our parents and ancestors did can be passed on to their descendants, including a love of gambling and so on. which means that without these old people discussing games and betting, these young people also have the potential to be interested in gambling maybe one day.

But the point of what we are discussing is not that, but what the solution is for the case that occurred in this post. and as I said at the beginning, a high awareness of not discussing things that younger people, especially those still in education, should not hear is the main thing. whatever it is, it's not just about gambling.
With high awareness, let's say we are an example, we will not show our children playing slots, or even talk about betting on football or cricket. Do things that are appropriate in front of our children, or those that still need guidance. So, that's the point. Second point, invite our children only to the part that is their focus. for example learning, or what can be understood at his age. Thus, what you don't want is at least a precautionary measure. anyway, I'm sure there are much better suggestions from the community.

Do you trust that DNA can affect a person without any actions from the family? These behaviors are passed down to the kids through discussions, like OP's case. A child that's not exposed into gambling won't begin gambling just because his grandfather was a gambler. A catalyst must be added in the child's life, that'll push him into gambling activities, growing up. Kids tend to learn from their society; where they grew up. A child with parents or relatives that disdain gambling activities won't have any reason to venture into gambling, despite having a DNA of a gambler. I'm saying this because in psycho therapy, family rules matters, a child follows rules according to his family's love and hate for a specific thing or action. Children in environments where gambling are discussed, will think it's a normal rule of life to gamble. Hence, the problem with society why we have well trained children living a different life outside their family rules is peers association. They can influence themselves, if a child from a home where gambling is seen as a normal activity meets another child with hate for gambling, one person can be influenced. Hence the confusion sets in, and parents can conclude that something is beginning to change about the life of their child. So, the problem doesn't get solved completely by disassociating the kids from the gamblers. It requires strong self discipline for a child to be the influencer, and not the influenced. That's where your point of teaching our kids and guiding them on appropriate lifestyles, gets valid. Those kids won't remain in that compound forever, they also attend schools. To be on a safe side, closely monitoring our kids after school and asking them relevant questions is quite necessary. Through, their answers and behavior, parents can determine if their child is having a bad influence.

naturally young people will learn things that they see older people doing, they are curious about it and definitely want to know, so that's for parents, never allow your youngest family members to see adult things before their time, they are still in the learning stage, they want to grow up to be successful people in their education, if they have gambled at a young age then their grades will definitely be bad at school, I never show my activities when playing slots to my children, they have a high curiosity, I will destroy their mental state if they know how to play slots at a young age.

Are the old people rude or arrogant and don't listen to what is said to them? I believe old people know the language of love very well, and if someone asks them gently about this and tells them that they shouldn't talk about gambling or anything as such when there are kids around, they should easily understand that and avoid doing that in the future without any problems. If you become rude and tell them aggressively about this, it will hurt their feelings and that is not a good thing because older people are important and deserve respect.

So, the issue must be handled with care as it can become a sensitive issue if it's handled badly. There should be a way will make the elderly understand the concern and the kids will be safe from getting interested in gambling or betting and will focus on things that are important to them.

In many cultures gambling is much like smoking. It's not something you'll go to jail for, but it's totally prohibitive to do it in front of the kids.
Just as kids are more likely to start smoking if their parents also do it obvious to them.

Thankfully gambling is easy to put within certain confines. So unless someone is a problem gambler that should seek help, they should be able to limit this activity to times when it is not inhibiting their interaction with children. This is the best practice according to many experts.

If you are really that caring about that someone whose really be able to listen when those adults been talking about gambling then if you are somewhat on older age
and pretty aware on how gambling works then telling him/her about complications of gambling would really be better on where she at least aware on what are those
risks. Gambling isnt bad but as much as possible it would be better that you do step away from it considering  that risks tolerance and addiction control would really
differ into each person on which means that habit could be mold up basing up on the surrounding or environment that you are living with.

Perhaps it would be enough to tell and agree with those people who are older not to talk about gambling in front of the youngest members of your family, assuming they are mature enough to understand the implications of a early introduction to gambling, then they will gladly be careful not to introduce a young member of the family into gambling, specially playing lottery.

In the case they underestimate the issue and are not willing to stop talking about it in front of children, then it would be more productive to tell children not to get close to those adult people in the family or even better: talk to the parents of the children so they will keep a tight supervision on them and won't let them to roam around and listen stuff they are not supposed to.

Make them understand the risk of gambling and of course encourage your older family member not to talk about gambling in front of the gambling especially if you are just living in the same house. The older family member should be more responsible and should be the first one to understand the risk of it, I’m also against to this and I hope that you can educate your Children as early as now so they wont try it.

Talk to those old people not to share any information about gambling and avoid talking it while they are in the house because Children nowadays can easily understand it and they are into technology as well so most probably they can just search for it. Proper guidance is the key here and if you think that they will get exposed early in gambling then better to give the right information already and discourage them from doing it especially that they are still minor and don’t have that much money to gamble with.

Yep. Which is why you shpuld be very careful about allowing young people into your offices when you’re gambling. To tell the truth I myself was exposed to gambling at an early age. Cause way back then my dad used to invite people into our house to play chinese pokers with. And although that wasn’t the match that sparked my gambling journey, considering it was the height of the pandemic that introduced me truly to this world, the same couldn’t be said for some of us, as well as the younger audiences in the flock.

Nothing inherently wrong if you’re already an adult and you’ve been gambling, it’s a way to pass the time after all. What would become a problem though is if you’re not responsible at playing it, which for example includes letting younger people just watch you waste money willy-nilly.

Teach them real stories of how someone ruined his life at a young age because of gambling. Yes, we're gamblers but teach these children that they shouldn't gamble when they are still young because they don't have money to use.

If they're going to gamble at a young age, they will be dependent to their parents and that's the reason why they're going ruin their lives. It's about the practice that they will develop through their times and as they grow older, they'll always try to look for it.

And by developing that practice that they will be used to, that's hard to eliminate even if they will promise themselves not to gamble again.

If you really wanted these old guys not to influence the young, you'd have to make them stop lying, drinking alcohol, smoking, beating their wives... You'd have to make them into flawless beings.
That said, if you think that talking about gambling is the cause young people gamble, you should stop talking about every single controversial topic. By analogy, talking with a teenager about sex can cause them to start their sex life earlier. Talking about drugs can make kids start using. Talking about suicide can make a kid commit it... and so on and so forth.

Yes because younger generation often mimic the older people.  We can see it on the family when there is an older people that is smoking, we can observe that their children or younger relatives will take the habit of  smoking.  Same goes with drinking liquor.  So it is not surprising to see kids of a gambler become a gambler one day.

Maybe they dont mean to influence the young ones in your family the wrong way. Maybe they just want to bond with the whole family, the old and the young and cricket is the game they thought of. I remember my uncles when I was young that they thought us this game too. We had games with them but we prioritize our studies. Maybe what you can do is to offer an alternative game that everyone in the family can enjoy. Too much of anything can be a distraction to studies or other important things so we should teach the younger ones first to know their priorities.

It’s a continuous cycle that doesn’t seem to have any end. Kids born and raised in a certain society would while growing, watch learn and pick up a lot of things that would help sharpen and form their personalities and their lives.
While kids tend to watch and copy the activities of adults and people around, I believe kids can still not gamble or smoke despite having family members all around who gamble and smoke. They don’t necessarily copy just any activity they happen to observe constantly.

Their intentions might be good, and they might just want to bond with the younger ones. The impact is always there from anything to anything. The old people in a family have responsible to manage the young ones' activities. That's actually the reason for the bond is needed.

The Bond should be a way to have open and honest conversations with the younger ones about the importance of balance and prioritizing their studies. Explain to them that while it's great to have fun and bond with family, it's also important to make sure they're not neglecting their studies or other important things.

This is the importance of making this gambling activity something that is private, where only a few people know about your gambling activity, which is only played in certain places such as casinos or closed places rather than in public or open places that can easily be seen by children. And also this gambling is only played at certain times.

This needs to be done because a child's level of curiosity is still high. Meanwhile, this gambling can only be played by certain people, who not only have enough money to play, but that person must also have the ability to be able to control themselves over their gambling activities. and abilities like this cannot yet be mastered by children. Meanwhile, a child's tendency is to always want to imitate what his parents do. And when we often gamble in front of our children, this will motivate the child, so that when they grow up they will want to gamble. And this is what drives why many young people are involved in the world of gambling.

By educating them on the risks and letting them know its not all sunshine and rainbows. Gambling can and will cause problems if you let it. You are never going to keep gambling 100% out of sight. If you have television you will see advertisements, if you have casinos near you you will see signs, if you have friends that gamble they will discuss it. IMO, it's better to educate your young ones vs trying to hide it.

In other word, it should've talked in a private so that kids will not hear anything you say. So they don't have any idea about it. Many parents forget that today's generation is very curious, adaptive and adventurous wherein everything they hear and see has the potential to imitate them when they grow up, especially now that everything is searchable in the internet. If you want your kids not to do things that isn't for them, be a responsible parent and show them what is the right things to do in life.

if you want to cut the family inheriting gambling to the younger generation , then let them live outside your community or best far away from what you have been from the beginning .

it will be hard for them to leave that inherit gaming , imagine how they woke up and sleep daily hearing and living with Cricket , because this is the problem if the family is gambler and caring nothing for their youngsters instead they love them being with them forever.

this is also something like being a drunker , if the parents and family are drinker then for sure their son/daughter  will be drunker also .

let go of the plan if you cannot make them live far from those gamber family members.

Teaching real stories like that doesn't seem to have any effect because you are still gambling. They will think that if gambling destroys someone's life, why are there still so many people gambling like you did in front of them? I'm sure you know what I mean.

It is true that gambling at a young age has a bad impact on the future, but we as gamblers should be aware not to gamble in general in front of them so that they don't know much about the gambling activities that we do. Providing education alone is not enough if in our environment there are still many people who do gambling unless the environment has rules not to gamble openly in public places and this is known by many young people which will influence their minds, indeed the young generation does not have enough money to gamble but if they do bad things like stealing their parents' money was just for gambling like their parents did, I think they would think of every way to keep doing it if there were still lots of people gambling in the surrounding area.

That is why parents must be able to stay away when they want to talk about personal matters so that their children do not hear or know about personal matters and do not arouse their curiosity. The current generation of children tends to be more critical and want to know many things, many of which they are not allowed to know. This is what every parent who has children who are growing up must pay attention to so that they can provide good guidance to their children. And if there is an older generation who wants to gamble, it would be better for them to gamble in a place where there are no young people so that it doesn't arouse the curiosity or wonder of the young people.

The younger generation should not be exposed in this kind of conversation. Because what they used to see might adopt and influence them to think it is right since that's what they're seeing from the adults of the family.

Thus, if the adults are talking about gambling, much better to let the kids go to their room or do some activities. This way, they are not expose at a very young age to gambling to think it's just normal. As a parent we need to become a role model to our kids and be responsible to keep this kind of conversations between adults only.

Observing the behavior of their elders, young individuals may pick up habits that can influence their own actions. It is important to set a positive example for the younger generation and encourage responsible and healthy behaviors regarding gambling. Try to communicate to the older generations first to not communicate about gambling when the younger generations are around in their presence.

That's what should be done when gathering at the parents' house and adults should separate the children so that they are not with them if they discuss gambling or something that has a bad impact on children or young people, I don't think any parent wants to their children are influenced by the bad habits of their parents or adults in their family, although there are parents like that, maybe they are not good parents

Fortunately, where I live, there is a custom where children have to be respectful and avoid when adults and older people are having serious conversations so as not to disturb them, let alone listen to their conversations because it will disturb them, so usually young people or underage children will avoid them without having to. asked to go to the room or go somewhere else.

Of course, because running away from the point of the problem is not a complete solution although there are some who think it's the best but I think the better thing to do is like you said, eliminate the problem not run away from the problem, because the problem is if you run away okay maybe you won't be affected by the problem but on the other hand you have to think that there will be other members of your family who will indirectly be affected by it because it is impossible for most of your family to go to leave the parents who are addicted to gambling, and the problem is even more complicated.

Besides, the suggestion is too difficult and will require you and other family members to spend a lot of money because moving to a new place or house is basically not free and you need money to rent or buy. So what is better in my opinion is that you have to think about other alternatives with your other family members, I can't give advice because only they know about what is the best solution that can be done and that makes sense in such conditions.

People can't stop talking about what they love, and although the younger generations might overhear these conversations, it's not necessarily a problem if they are well-guided. IMO, it's beneficial for them to be informed about such matters even at a young age, so they can be aware of its risk. As the older generation, especially parents, it's always our responsibility to guide our children.

Keeping these topics away from them doesn't guarantee they won't encounter them, as their world extends beyond our immediate circle. They will meet new people in life, and discussions about gambling, for example, may still come up. If they are aware of the risks, they will be better equipped to handle such situations maturely.

It is difficult to eradicate gambling habits in the family, what's more, the person who carries out gambling activities is the oldest person in our own family. The experience you are experiencing has happened in my area, They have a family of around eight people, all of whom are active gamblers, all inherited from their parents and older siblings.

In such cases only one thing can solve the problem, namely faith and the priest, there is no other or other way to leave the family life and look for a new life, maybe it can be avoided from all forms of gambling activities.

What's more, in the family there is unemployment, every day everyone in the family enjoys money from gambling, if that happens all generations will have an impact on gambling, so as I said above to prevent the younger generation from getting involved in gambling.

The only way to do this is for adults to discuss this privately and not in front of the children, the adults should first inculcate things that are important and not expose them to something that will harm their fertile minds.
There is a time for everything and it will come when the kids are of age where they can understand the family's passion but it should be the focus of their action and their dreams.
Everything can be attained with the right communication at the right time if cricket fantasy is the family's traditional passion it should be introduced at the right time and with the right motives.

It is not the younger generation you should be stopping,  rather, you should be stopping the older generation from playing such games and having conversations about them in the presence of children. As far as all these habits are done in the presence of children,  they must take note of them.

A child's mind can easily absorb anything. They are very curious to know and practice what they know. You do not necessarily need to sit them down in a classroom and teach them what they should know, they learn by observation.  This explains why most children behave the way other people in their environment behave.

Adults should learn to do certain things in private where children won't see or learn from.  It is way easier to prevent a child from learning certain things than forcing them to  get rid of habits they have accumulated already.

Quite so, the kids can hear such discussion anywhere. The training we render the kids is what matters. It's easy to caution the kids not to be in an environment where gambling is discussed. In disciplining kids, be strict. They'll comply. Confronting the adults, can relieve the discussion for a short moment, until they start such discussion again. But, being serious about the kids, can stop or restrict them from gambling. And anyone around one found listening to gambling discussion can be reported by a fellow kid to their parent, OP. Thereby keeping the children safe and being monitored by an eldest child amongst the children. Taking actions on the gamblers and leaving the kids unsanctioned, solves no problem. As they'll have a myopic view of the impact of such discussion in their life, when they get to adulthood. The society is getting too careless on kids, and we must triple our guards on the innocent kids around us. Though it's not an easy start, but a good beginning can yield nice results on the long run. It's natural for kids to completely trust their parents more than strangers. Due to lack of attention, from the parent side, these kids begin to trust people around, more than their parent.

Cricket is a tradition already in many countries eventually the kids are going to be exposed to it since cricket games are on TV. But just like NBA games on EA, the younger generation will learn these fantasy games faster than the real ones since they can play them on their phones.

If they are able to gamble in the cricket fantasy game and these kids install the app, I guess they may also learn to gamble. Every generation is different though, they're gonna handle gambling differently if not guided.

Prevent your younger generations from gambling, before they create a mess out of your family name, just because your family are into gambling from your past generation doesn't mean you should set the same example to your younger generation, or what have they achieve becoming gamblers so far? As if it's something one can be proud of.

Gambling is something you should do secretly and silently, it's not something to be publicly proud of, because only 1 out of millions of people end up winning the jackpot,.

Gambling creates this ill madness in all gamblers that there is no other easy to make money than this and I have watch this ruin so many family, if you are still supporting this nonsense then good luck, you will watch your younger generation turning your family name into a piece of joke, they wi create shame and fixed it your family name.

It's like people are not aware of the issues with gambling, you don't want to take gambling as your only saviour in this world, it's a risk of your life and time, you must involve yourself in a way that you won't hurt your life and future.

Yeah, that makes sense but still you did your duty of giving them some warning that they shouldn't do it.

Another step is you're right. When we gamble, we have to stand on our words to them that they shouldn't gamble and we shouldn't do it in front of them for at least for them to see some example on us.

It's hard for those that can't do it but it's one way for them to give proof that you're giving them an example as an adult and a role model to them. As long as you've got a strategy or any other way of giving them some reminder will do.

"Can" they? Surely we can say that they could, there is a possibility of that happening but I believe that we can't really make it work, I believe that young generation has their own trends, looking back now my parents read a lot more books than I ever did, why? Because they didn't had computers, or even TV for a long time in my nation, my parents got TV in their home when they were young, like 10-12, so before that they didn't even had TV, nowadays we have our phones act like a tv and computer at the same time.

So trends and what the generation does change all the time, it's weird to act like you would be able to put something into them, like putting gambling habit into a new generation, I doubt we can, if they don't want to then they won't.

Old generation can raise gambling habit on young or current generation, if that old generation has achieved something in gambling. If persons grandparents or great grandparents simply gambled from time to time or did it frequently, then future generation wont have any impact because of that. But, if relatives have won in a lottery, got lucky and caught jackpot, or simply won a huge amount, then this might trigger future generation to start gambling. There is no such gene as «gambling». It is not passed on from generation to generation.

Nowadays any young person with the use of social networks is exposed to so many dangers, that an "old" relative, maybe! is perhaps an infinitesimal part of the problem.

This issue has more to do with a social aspect than with gambling itself, but I ask you, the same does not happen with drugs, child abuse, etc.

So, the issue it is what we can do so that young people do not get involved with complex issues before their time, not just gambling, and everything has to do with the family and then cultural environment in which these children develop, and that is difficult, but if such situations exist in your community, unfortunately it is an aspect that in the long term will depend on the individual.

They are aspects of a coin toss, there are individuals who grow up in quite toxic environments, drugs, prostitution, gambling, but they get ahead.

You are right, there are no genes that can pass on gambling addiction from generation to generation unless they often hear gambling activities from their family discussions, it is possible that this can trigger to influence the new generation to make small bets in gambling, they hope to win high profits to be able to tell stories told his family that he could have the same luck as the older generation. I don't think the OP can persuade him to focus on other activities because he lives with a family that is already addicted to gambling, so it's hard to pull him out of the gambling habit his family has inherited.

I think it is possible to answer this question with both yes and no because;

Yes, if the older generation constantly chats about the reason for their ongoing gambling habit and gambles in front of the new generation of children, they will indirectly transmit the gambling habit to the new generation. In particular it can be easily said that the older generation passed on their gambling habits to the new generation as younger family members grew up taking their older family members as a reference during childhood.

No, because today gambling continues to increase its popularity and appears in every aspect of our lives. In particular, we see that the new generation who can access easily to the internet, can now access gambling services more easily due to digitalized casinos and advertisements. In fact, while there is a minimum age limit for gambling in physical casinos, unfortunately, we can see that the new generation of children can access gambling more easily due to the fact that some of the online casinos don't comply with the laws and rules for gambling.

So, if we are to comment on the subject from a general perspective I think both answers are possible and can be supported with justified reasons. This is why I gave both answers and was able to give logical and valid explanations and reasons for both.

I agree with your opinion, that there are no genes or hereditary gamblers, but gambling is a habit of someone who has done it, whether for a long time or recently, and this behavior will make someone addicted because there may be two factors, namely hobby. as entertainment or at the same time making a profit so that you are addicted to continuing to do it.
Therefore, the older generation may have experienced what I said above, and this will trigger the younger generation to try gambling because they only saw or perhaps heard stories from the previous older generation.

Normally, this could affect the young generations of their family. Although in the end it will still depend on each individual. However, when children often see their parents gambling or betting on anything and it becomes a routine, and they always witness it, the memory of that will be recorded in their memory. Moreover, if children know how happy their parents are when they get gifts from gambling, then they will also realize that gambling can give them money and make them happy. If it's just once or twice, it probably won't matter. but if they do it many times and the children see it firsthand, then this will encourage the children to have the same thoughts and the same desires.

Additionally, this  may also give addition influences for some certain other families, if one day they experience trauma as a result of this gambling, because sometimes in a family, they experience difficulties and in the end experience a little violence at home because their father or parents are abusive due to losing gambling and running out of money. So, actually, it will affect various things.

Well, it will depend on the age or parents. If they are doing gambling games, then they have the responsibility to guide the young age to do gambling; if the young age has a habit of gambling, then it's the older age's fault that they got influenced; if they don't want the younger age or their son to do gambling, then at the start they should not let the child be interested or even have an idea about the gambling game or gambling things. And yes, mostly children or this generation, most of them got influenced by old age or by their parents or grandparents. But even without the influence of old age, the child could be influenced easily right now by many means of gambling, like social media platforms, by their friends, and many more.

there may be no hereditary gamblers, but if a person is continuously expose to gambling related activities, he may form a habit as well. but if they will see it on an occasional basis, like when your football or basketball team is playing, i don't think such young person will be a habitual gambler. they will more likely see it as a form of family entertainment or bonding activity among family members.
also, if a young person may see his older family got addicted in gambling, and got so much troubles, either he will follow the steps of that person or change his path not to have the same kind of life. this will depend on the person himself, it is by no means in the genes of the person to be a gambler.

Old generation people spending time on gambling could have impact on the young generation. In my country old generation people can be seen playing cards around the beach region after their work. This is kind of leisure for them. Nowadays it is possible to see old generation playing in one part of the beach and the young generations on the next end of the beach. Young generation follow old genaration and as these are simple games it easily gets attracted.

The old generation people was totally addicted to the gambling because of the long involvement to the gambling,So the old generation will try to teach the gambling to their son or grandson to make the good impact to the gambling sites.If the gambler doesn't win any good money from the gambling sites will not share the gambling to the next generation and help the gambler to save from the loss.Actually it was loss by their opinion,but from my angle they had loss the big opportunity to became the richest person in the world.So the old generation who had their hand in the gambling site should help their next genertaion to earn some dollars from the same gambling sites.The old gambler should teach the good and bad tactics to the next generation people to manage their loss to the gambling sites.

It still depends on how the young generation would take the gambling activity they see or hear from the old generation. Even if the young generation only sees it occasionally, it doesn't mean they will only take gambling the same. They can either be more aggressive in gambling at an early age or not, the fact that they are exposed to gambling, it still has a  possibility for the young generation to get into gambling.

In this age of information technology, children can easily gain access to gambling information. Online gambling advertisements are common on diverse social media platforms which which exposes the younger generation to gambling. The role of parents and guardians is to protect underaged children from practising what they have been exposed to. Now it would be wrong for the people who should be protecting these children to be the ones exposing them to gambling.

Some parents don't have control over how they gamble and the children are aware that they have gambling disorder. Some parents have gambled with money that was meant to be used for feeding or other expenses and the children are observing this unhealthy character. There are cases when parents send underaged children to go and stake games for them in some physical bet shops. Gradually these undergaged children will begin to seek means to gamble.

Children learn by observation, that is why you don't expose them to anything you don't want them to engage in. But this doesn't dispute the fact that grown-up children should be educated about gambling to help them overcome peer pressure.       

 

First of all, if you have a gambling habit please dont show it to the family especially a kid ;D, because the kid has a big curiosity they will ask anything including gambling unless your kid is 21+ at that age he probably knows already.

But the habit of gambling in my opinion is because of ourselves, not the older ones because if the young generation knows the truth, then they dont wanna touch it. But there are so many factors going to play, ads are everywhere and tech is easy to get.

Usually the younger generation will get carried away with gambling games due to the influence of the environment in which they live. He often sees parents gambling, so he thinks it's a normal thing to do, so the steps we have to take are of course communication and education about the importance of studying first.

The fear is that if they quickly get to know gambling, their studies will be neglected and they will even stop because they are too comfortable with gambling. Because with gambling it will be easy to make money, this is what the younger generation thinks. In fact, behind gambling there are many effects that can be obtained and usually the younger generation doesn't care about this, only when everything has happened do they regret it and realize it. So the most correct solution is communication and continued education about gambling.

There are a lot of things that may induce interest of Gambling to a kid be the motivation be in your house or not. And not all gambling are the same. It's a good idea to restrict your kids from gambling as it's easily addictive. You can prevent them from gambling by limiting their financial reach and planning their schedule. Don't give them your cards and provide them pocket money just what they need.
As well kids should be taught about responsible gambling from early age be it on often overlooked fair games. Games played on fairs are where children start their first gambling. Sooner or later they would be introduced to gambling, it's better to develop them to make the best decision for themselves.

I am one of the younger guys here. How can I instruct older generation to avoid something ? If I oppose them, they term me as rebellious and tell me to shut up.

In addition, I think environmental factors have more influence on the personality of children - children, besides you have to limit financial reach, only give pocket money according to what is needed on the other hand you also have to really be able to look after the activities of your children, don't let you miss which is because you are negligent or don't pay too much attention to your child's activities and also on the other hand you will definitely be surprised when suddenly your child is involved with gambling even though it is still in the early stages.

On the other hand you will not be able to if you only provide understanding in theory, although it is quite good for their mindset but there must also be some actions that will be a driving force so that they really understand the dangers of gambling. Parents must really train their children so that they can have a disciplined and responsible personality, and also for your last statement, honestly I don't agree if they have to be taught about some games that have elements of gambling even though it's not real gambling, but still in my opinion it's better to teach them to do other more positive things only.

If the elderly behave in this way, it must be avoided. Instead of giving children a logical solution, they tell them to shut up and make the problem bigger without solving it. But there must be an elder person in the family who is responsible for managing the family. In that case I think if you can explain it to him or her then he can easily convince those members of their mistake and give them the right suggestion. But even if you understand the point, it is better for you to remain silent there as they will not pay any attention to your words. If gambling is openly discussed in the family, the younger ones will be encouraged, so there must be limits to those discussions.

That will possibly influence them because the moment a person listens, it also creates interest in them. And yes, they will do some research in order to widen their understanding and how the games are played. But it doesn't mean that those people (the younger generation) will fall into it as they also have their minds to decide if they want. Your take on this is to warn them and help them understand what could be possible outcomes if they were gambling. Gambling is a choice, not the thing that we force others to gamble.

What does the older generation teach or guide the younger generation about gambling which gambling is not a good thing. In my opinion, as bad as the older generation will not guide them into something that is not good, even they should prevent the younger generation from doing something that is not good or not good, because the older generation does not seem to want the younger generation to experience what they have experienced,  even if there is an older generation that guides or teaches gambling to the younger generation, in my opinion it is a mistake made by the older generation. Why is that? Because first, gambling is not a good thing. Where gambling can make someone worse than everything. Second, gambling can damage health, mentally, damage relationships. Third, gambling can lead them to things that are beyond reason, such as crimes that will harm others or other crimes.

You are right, even if they do not guide the younger generation to gamble, they can also be influenced by advertisements on the internet. And the older generation should provide supervision to the younger generation, even if they don't provide 24/7 supervision, they should give examples of the bad effects of gambling which is to prevent them from gambling when they see advertisements on the internet.,

Younger people learn things easily that why so many company say keep out the reach of children, if you are a soccerbet gambler for instance and you gamble with a printout papers make that those papers are kept where you children will not see them that's if you have children, this gambling of a thing can be dangerous to children, addiction is one of the problem we are facing in the society today, I think we should try as much as we can to help the upcoming, gambling is very difficult to control the habit, so many people got into one habit or the other because of the people that they grow in their custody, I have a friend that's a smoker, I aske him why are you into this he told me that his dad smokes a lot and that's where he got influenced, let's minds what we do in their front.

Totally indeed a choice on which it isnt something that you could be able to force someone to gamble because people will eventually leant it up if they are really that interested and not if they aren't.

When it comes to influencing youth then it could be possible because we know that whenever we are exposed into something and this is our first time on seeing it then curiosity would come into play.
Somewhat its true that whenever someone been exposed but still not an assured thing that they will be doing the same thing, it will matter on self will and decisions
because not all be seeing something will directly be engaging because there are who are sensible about on the things that whats happening around.

it is really just that there are ones who do easily get hooked just because it do involves money on which human beings are really that weak when it  comes to this.

If someone listens to a story from another person, he may be curious to know more, so he will start to find out about it. He will also find out about how to play the game and will likely find out how to bet on the game as well. It is normal for someone to be interested in something they don't know about, so they will try to find out. And that's what will happen if children hear stories about gambling from the adults around them. The children can find out on their cellphones so they can understand, and they will also see whether it makes them more interested or whether they will miss it. That's why if there are adults who want to talk about gambling, they need to find a place where there are no children so they can have more freedom in telling the story. This is to avoid children's curiosity so they will not find out about it.

The gambling was the game easily get into the bucket list of the younger generation,even if the old generation teach them.Because the marketing of the gambling will reach the younger generation easily who addictive to the social media now a days.If the old generation teaches the younger generation,they will teach the gambling fully.So the gambler will get to know about the greediness,which was the cancer to the gambling.The new generation gambler will avoid of the greedy in their gambling game,if they joined because of their friend referral,surely the friend teach them.But the teaching of the risk factor was not possible in friends refer.Some friends will teach you for their referral bonus from the gambling sites,So they won't say all the risk in the gambling sites.Get the comlete guide from your old generation people,who teaching you gambling.

Of course. Influence came from people who are good at something. We inherited if not all but most of the ideas from the past like gambling. Here in my country gambling was mostly influenced by foreign explorers, traders and invaders during the old days specially the Spanish and Chinese. It was passed from one generations to another generations.

Old generation can influence the younger persons perspective when it comes to things that they are not familiar with and is taking an interest into because of frequent exposure. Having kids or minors around when adults are talking about gambling can pose a significant impact over a child's developmental thinking about gambling. It can either persuade them and encourage them to try and see for themselves, or won't pique them at all. It's a case to case basis. But for me, it's still better to not involve kids into adult matter such as gambling. Kids below that aren't in their teenage years still do not have the capacity to grasp the pros and cons of gambling.

For me, the age that is better suitable to have gambling's pros and cons would be when they hit the puberty stage because at that age they become curious. It's better to educate them at home about the advantages and disadvantages rather than for them to know it from their peers which can't really provide in depth details that are needed for awareness. Kids and teenagers are both minors, but introducing it to a very young age will be a no-no for me. In encouraging minors to focus on their study instead, you must set a good example first and tell them about the benefits of finishing a degree and cons of getting addicted in gambling.

The culture of the environment in which a child grows remains in him. If people in your family are directly involved in gambling and it is continuous then it will definitely affect the next generation. Your family members are regularly discussing gambling directly in your family and the junior members of the family will grow up listening to those discussions or watching the activities of your senior family members. As the younger members of the family slowly learn to understand, they will talk about gambling and in doing so, they will also show an interest in gambling at some point. I gamble no one in my family knows because I don't want gambling to affect my family I am gambling I will gamble If any member of my family ever develops an interest in gambling it is a different matter.

You can trust your older siblings to advise the older generation to stop engaging in gambling activities, or you can trust siblings from your parents' family to discuss adult issues with them to limit gambling discussions so they don't influence the younger generation. But we can't blame the older generation for being temperamental and unable to control their emotions, they tend not to listen to other people's suggestions and they always underestimate the suggestions or thoughts of the younger generation.

It's true, it's like this in our family. Because our parents often gamble and sometimes they themselves fight over gambling and we see it, but I don't see anyone addicted to gambling or gambling just because they see their parents gambling, most of them are high school and college students. They are told that they cannot gamble because they are young and they know how dangerous gambling is.

Just say it properly and how bad it is for children, if they think about it they will understand it. This is what happened to us.

There's a grand rule in life - people will only listen to what they wanna listen to, the rest would definitely be merged up as garbage... So no matter how much effort you put in letting the young child know nothing about this, they'll definitely do worse if they want. Haven't you seen cases that the most protected children become notorious armed robbers and rogues?? What happens on the way?? Nobody knows!!!

---

but you've got great hopes - cus everyone won't chose the same path.. so if they aren't kept away, one of them might be committed to it.

The older generation are beclouded with the ideology that they know better since they are older and have passed through different life experiences that you being the younger generation that's only coming up haven't experienced or tested. There's this phrase that says: what an old man sees sitting down, a young man standing can not see it. I think this just a way to make the young feel inferior whenever they are with the elderly people and are having a debate or deliberation about an issue with variant opinions. They just want you the young to buy theirs as the best because they are old with the experiences you have had yet. As they say, the words of the elders are wisdom.

Addiction comes with irresponsible gambling so even if there's a gambler in your family member we can't be in this situation if we responsible enough to know our priorities. And also its lame reason for anyone to point out that they suffer from this because they have a lot of gamblers on their family since they are the one who can decide what to do and its just they didn't manage to control his actions and decisions done while gambling.

Gambling is really bad for children but if they are well guided and exposed about the risk for sure they would never be in this situation. Also we could tell the old people to minimize the discussion while there's a child around since this could lessen the exposure for young people to engage with gambling.

Agree with you, that when someone gambles uncontrollably then this will become a habit for him and this behavior is not good for the future, but if he only sees gambling once or twice then it is not certain that the person will follow it because maybe he doesn't understand it yet. . or confused about how to gamble. If we look at sports betting, of course we will enjoy the thrill of the game, not only who will win, sports betting will also create closer relationships between family and friends and that is the positive side.

From the experience of the older generation in gambling, it will certainly be a lesson for the younger generation in making decisions, whether it is good or not to imitate and the younger generation must guard their minds well and always be introspective. so that you don't take the wrong steps and for the good of your life in the future.

It can cause but only affect to a certain extent.

If you a young person who lives in an environment of gamblers, then chances are that you are most likely to be influenced by their decision. You would be exposed to their actions as your curiosity would compel you to actually attempt/try the said act.

But even if a person is exposed in an environment of gamblers, there is still that chance that he/she would not gamble. Being exposed to gambling means knowing the risks involved- if the person wants to try and play the risks, then he/she would gamble. But if a person would want to avoid experiencing such kind of risks, then he/she would not even attempt to gamble.

At the end of the day, it really depends on one's decision over it. Personally, I would suggest that prevention is better than cure- stop exposing your kids into any form of gambling. If they are curious about it, then guide them and show the realities of gambling.

Yes, that's what really we worries they tend to follow the behavior of people around them or you could say those closest to them, such as (older siblings, cousins, parents). They can't yet filter what is good or bad so that children can do it independently keeping quiet, like smoking, maybe the parents don't know yet but the child is already outspoken in the surrounding environment and other people know about it and if it's like that, who is bad if not the parents who are thought to be lacking in educating the child.

parents/older generation must set a good example for the younger generation to develop and achieve their goals so that their future is bright. If they follow bad examples such as gambling, drinking alcohol in front of them, smoking casually in front of their children then their future will be bleak if they follow this behavior, but if given support or a positive example they will go on to a bright future.

yes that is true, I mean you see, the older generation should not teach gambling to the older generation because it is unethical for the older generation to teach bad things to the younger generation. After all, many young people today are addicted to cellphones, they can't be away from cellphones all the time, this can also trigger them to become a gambler and may also be addicted, because there are also many gambling advertisements on the internet that they might know about gambling. The older generation should take care not to teach something that has this unfavorable point of view. By teaching gambling, I think this could damage their future because everyone knows gambling has a dangerous impact on the addict.

You are right, even if they teach gambling, it is unlikely that they will also teach about risks and what things should be avoided to avoid risks, so it is likely that they will only teach gambling not by explaining things that must be avoided to minimize losses later. If they teach gambling, in my opinion, they must fully, including the things that must be avoided, they also need to teach. Do not let this young generation fall into deep gambling so that there are dangerous things. So teach them completely, not half and half, if it is to plunge them, it is best not to do it, because the younger generation must have a good future.

You are basically talking about the influence of gambling on younger generations when they see someone else winning a huge amount and it's true, that children or younger people can easily get influenced if they see something that is considered to be a sort of achievement, and having a lot of money is nothing less than an achievement, and children don't often see how the money has been gained and whether the method is good or bad or they should do it or not because they aren't mature enough.

So, if children see someone becoming rich all of a sudden and if they ask how it happened and they are told that the person won a huge amount from gambling or a lottery, they will start having that image in their mind thinking that one can become rich through gambling or lotteries and they might become curious to try it whenever they can.

Yes, maybe it's like that because quite a lot of children become gamblers because their parents invite them to gamble, for example at family events, or these children see how their parents gamble on the computer or other media. So more or less the older generation can cause gambling habits in the younger generation.
And if you want to stop this gambling habit in your family, you can just not gamble in front of them and not discuss various things related to gambling. But this is not completely successful, because the younger generation in your family could gamble due to the influence of their playing environment.

Young generations or kids would copy what old people shows them or act in front of them, so yes gambling or discussing about gambling would somehow lead to it.
It is also their guardians or parents job to make sure that the kids or young generations know that there are things that old people tend to do that could be bad for them.
Sometimes even if they are in a bad environment kids or young generations only needs a good role model to understand the difference between good and bad habits that could destroy their future or health.

The answer is an emphatic yes. We are influenced by what we see and what we hear, so as long as these young lads keep seeing and hearing the old folks talk and gamble on cricket fantasy game, they will certainly want to replicate what the elderly ones are doing.

You can help them by hiding all your "poisons" from them so they they won't get to see it. Educate them on gambling and make them see reasons why they shouldn't gamble until they've attain the appropriate age.

Yes, children can imitate their parents in gambling using the devices they have, especially if they have often seen their parents gamble in front of them. They will not have difficulty playing gambling games. By watching their parents gamble, they will slowly understand it because they also learn from their parents. They will probably often ask their parents how to play it so that they will understand more and know how to play it. Parents have to be really aware of this because children now know what they want and often they imitate what their parents do. As parents, they must be able to educate their children by providing good examples and an understanding of good and bad so that their children can understand it well.

That's right, and the influence of what we see raises curiosity and interest to get involved in the activity, especially if they see that the parents do gambling like it's very fun and also another thing that can attract them more when the parents get a win there then obviously at least they will also definitely ask and ask to be taught how to do it and how to get a win like them.

I think it's almost impossible for you to help them by hiding the "poison", it's quite difficult because obviously they are all part of a family that is always united under one roof, so maybe one thing that can be done is in my opinion to give the younger generation an understanding that this activity is really not recommended because of the very high level of risk, and you can also be able to understand that their age is still young in the sense that their journey is still long and they should focus on other things that are more positive for a better future. Give them an understanding that gambling can threaten their future, hopefully they can understand the understanding you provide for prevention.

If a parent wants their child to gamble like them in the future, that parent can discuss gambling directly in front of the child or gamble directly. If the matter is such that a parent or a family member gambles but that family member is addicted to gambling or is involved in gambling, then that member will try to hide the gambling from the family members. People in different families usually have different thoughts about whether their children will gamble in the future or not. Some family members may think that if their child gambles in the future, it will not be bad, while some families think that if their child gambles in the future, he may become addicted to gambling. Many families do not want their children to gamble.

Children really get influenced easily when they see someone who is rich, you are right. Even adults tend to gamble because they want quick money which is a negative notion which makes people to bet above their budget and lack proper management of their bankroll.

Regards to children, that youthful pulse is always there to over step bans. Seeing some who is rich and being exposed to gambling maybe from the father, they will want to try too. It is worse with children who are already use to soccer and are fans of a certain club especially clubs in EPL. This is why we see so much underage having access to gambling. Parents have to do certain things discretly and not unnecessary expose their children into things that they are not ready for yet.

And even if they are addicted, they can still taught us the correct way of playing it, so that we will not end up to be like them. Some times it's better to open a topic like this because there is always a chance that the youngsters are going to stumble upon gambling one day.

We all know that addicted people are trying to hide their bad habits to the people that they know. Another scenario is, even if let say the older generation is well-disciplined and taught the younger ones the things that they should do, there is still a chance that they will change. This is how uncontrollable gambling is. Let us only hope for the best though that everything will be just fine.

if the Young generation keeps hearing and learning from the older person then there is no doubt
that in their maturity Gambling will be their key also to make money if not to use for enjoying .

because I believe that what we are hearing constantly becomes  positive impact even if this is truly a negative one .

Just like Liquor in my experience , My father keeps drinking in front of us since i was a baby and as I grow older,
I starts tasting beer(the remaining from their bottles) yet it taste so bitter , but eventually ? it turns interesting for me
and yes at the age of 12? I start drinking and become an alcoholic when i turn college.

this proves what you  said here that it will Influence young of what the old are doing .

I agree with you that children mostly take after their parents so parents should continue to exercise caution when it comes to gambling so these types of clubs don't have a bad influence. A parent has immense control over their children's experiences. Given that personality is mediated through decision making processes involved in important life outcomes it is likely that parents personality influences their children's life outcomes. Therefore if parents are not exposed to gambling this type of habit will not develop in children. It is natural for young people to follow someone who is rich because they tend to become rich by trying. But it is likely to lead them to more problems.

There are massive impact of activities performed by older generation on younger generations, individuals often choose that path which is discussed all the time in front of them because they think that as they find such way as a beneficial way then this will give them good reward too as everyone wants to examine their luck once in a life.

According to my point of view first of all order generation should not talk about gambling in front of their children and all those who find gambling as a bad activity and learn lesson from it will never share about it with their children and also will not leave their children to the same thing. If olders generation are unable to keep quite their gambling then younger should use their mind to not involved in such risky earning through which these older generation have lost their money and also people give less or no respect to those who become losser in gambling. Always choose path of those who advent technologies and make their life happy through better earnings instead of those who always face loss but never gain anything from gambling.

One thing with kids these days they're sensitive when it comes to learning, just like what the word imply charity begins at home, some children are into gambling not because they like it but right from their childhood they always hear the word bet, just imagine seeing your dad coming out from a betting shop everyday that child will also want to know what's happening there.
So in a family that always talk about bet it's likely that the child will grow up with that mentality even if they don't put it to practice at that early age that mindset of playing bet will always be with the child.
There's no much work to do, just keep your gambling habit a secret from the younger ones, I think you can also speak with the old ones in your family, they'll understand you. that's the best thing to do

And that is happening by many gamblers because parents serve as a mirror to their children and what they saw to their parents, they also gain interest in knowing it as well. Once there is a gambler in the family, we can also expect that some of the new generation will follow. But there is nothing wrong with that if there is any, as long as it is guided properly, they will never fall into addiction. And as long as the family members have no problem getting involved in gambling, then it was okay and I know many of us gamblers have the same history.

What children could see to their parents done is always right for them that's why there's a huge chance that they will follow the activity done by their elders so we should not get surprise about it since it happens all the time. If old people are not careful with their words or actions done for sure this can contribute for their your generation to participate since curiosity will come first at their environment and if they see the people near them especially their relative doing gambling then for sure they follow it to. I can say its bad for them if you think there's nothing wrong about it since engaging with gambling at early age can open up on other possibilities that they can do more worse than that.

If it gambling that they place bets on by staking money or other valuables on, then it is bad and unacceptable to have such discussions in the presence of kids, especially under-aged children, but if they are discussing other sports activities such as football or tennis without betting on them, we can say that they discussions are not a bad one since they are getting involved in this games for the fun and recreational activities aspect of things.
So it all depends on the aspect of the games that are involved in a discussion on in the presence of the kids, most time, kids or young guys who want to gamble may not even be interested in such discussion since it may sound boring to them since he wants, to experience the whole thing first-hand personal involvement.

Do you really think the younger generation listens to what the older generation is saying? It seems to me that they don't care at all when there is so much entertainment for every taste around. The older generation has seen nothing but chess, so they too enjoy today's variety of entertainment and they have a right to discuss it. Besides, it is not easy to understand Fantasy games even for an adult, let alone a teenager.

That's what I meant before, that the tastes of the younger generation and the older generation will definitely be very different so it's impossible for the older generation to influence the younger generation, even though it's possible if they have the same hobby, namely gambling, because it's not easy to make someone become a gambler without their desire. in him to gamble let alone learn from the older generation.

I'm sure not many of the younger generation want to gather in a place with the older generation because they have very different tastes in games and the conversation is very difficult for the younger generation to digest, that's why most gamblers from the younger generation will only be influenced by children their own age. have the same tastes and the same chatter in their discussions about gambling.

It's indeed the mistake of the parents if the children are exposed to gambling or any other activity that isn't suitable for their age because parents need to make sure that their children are only involved in things that are good for them and their upbringing because when they grow up if they are seen doing something wrong, society won't blame the children for what they have done, but it will blame the parents that they couldn't raise the children in a good way or teach them what's good and what's bad.

So, the mistakes that parents make when their children are very young will have a great effect on their future upbringing. That's why, as you said, parents should be careful that they don't do anything like that in front of their children and they should also keep an eye on the activities of their children.

if the older people in a same house talk about sports(not gambling) is normal they will just talk about what player how well played they very less often talk about I betted this much amount on that tea, etc.
and I don't think the younger generation or anyone will care about sports if he/she personally don't like sports,
but if the younger person like that sport and know a lot about that game and players then may be he/she also starts to bet on sports.

Through the social media and the gamblings online sites are too much popular and easily accessible that even if the old gamblers do not talk about the gambling sites, the young generation will still get into the habit of gambling from the near and dear ones, from the society, from the friends and families.

In the old days, the old generation had influence on the younger generation but in this social media era , social media has more influence on the younger generation as compared to the older generation.

See, you have to be wise about whom you advise and what.

If someone considers you and your suggestions - Give them some.

People who are not open to any suggestions and believe what they do is right, just stay away from them. You shouldn't give advice to someone who doesn't want it or you know won't consider it.

I agree that some old people get reluctant with age and it's hard to explain anything to them, hurts more when they are your family members.

Oh yes, and it takes ages to make that generational change happen. But that does go away with time because people develop wisdom and understand what's good for them.

I don't think any generation has ever promoted gambling and yet it's such a problem. In fact, most people gamble when they are alone and try to hide it from others. You will not see someone bragging that they are gamblers, unless of course, they hit something big.

They can also unintentionally talk about gambling when they're making money, so when he bet a right team or player, then he cash out, it's either he bought a stuff/foods etc as reward or flex it to his wife/other people if he make money through gambling.

So when someone bet in sports, it's not always they're only talk about sports.

You shouldn't just cut it off at the bottom and it seems like you don't understand the whole of what I have said because in the first and second sentences it is clearly stated that adults or parents should emphasize talking about, doing activities and also discussing those activities out of reach of children.
From what I have said, it is clear that it is related to not showing all these activities in front of children.

I know that children will always do whatever makes them curious and do whatever they see even though it is an activity that is not good and they cannot differentiate between good or bad, from here we should be able to provide education and understanding.
Moreover, providing education and understanding more frequently can shape children character and personality so that they can avoid or think that they should not participate in certain activities.

That right and we must always show them what is good for them and then avoid all forms of activities that could worsen their development in the future.

It will take ages to happen if aside from talking about gambling there's also gambling happening in front of the children and they might get a hard time to erase this habit with if those actions has been present in the house and you can't  tell to your old family member that you don't like it.

We must step up on this and put some rule regarding on gambling since if we allow those old people to play for sure our child will follow since they really think its fun to gamble and its good for them to try it.

People doesn't aware that they are promoting gambling unintentionally since they think having a topic related to gambling is normal and they are not aware that they are simply installing some ideas about gambling to other people listen to the discussion they made.

Perhaps because when they started talking about it, they didn't realize that there were children who started listening to their stories so that the children could know what they were talking about. Children can also ask the older generation directly about what they don't know so that the older generation will answer straight away and not realize that it is the children who are asking. This unconscious factor from the older generation is what triggers children's curiosity, and there is a possibility that these children will ask the older generation again when they are alone, and their parents are not there.

Indeed, there should be a rule at home that if they want to talk about gambling or things that are not appropriate for children to hear, they must first leave the house and find another place so they can freely talk about it. This is only to avoid the curiosity of underage children so they will not feel curious about the topic being discussed.

Actually in a situation like this if the benchmark is only talking about cricket I don't think it's a big problem because we know that it's a sport but if the discussion is more directed at betting etc. related to gambling then that's a problem.
Even though we know that currently gambling is not only the elderly and even children can clearly access it easily, it is only advisable if in the end the role of adults in the environment or at home must also limit it a little. Although gambling is also free for anyone to do, it would be better if children who are still clean are slightly reduced about intake like this because if they continue to be crammed about things like this then it can make the development and behavior of children not in accordance with their age.

Agree with you mate nowadys environment matters as we all know that there are many people who are talking negative Effect of young generation cause they don't care what they do so the best thing to do by the parents of young generation is keep thier children away those  negative guys and focus on the study.
We can not control other people if what they are talking or doing so parents must adjust they need to focus on thier children.

Well, we must always consider the things that are good for us, we have Always known that things are customs, and many of us call them that, good customs and they are the ones that are passed from generation to generation, personally I am in a casino not because someone older than me has taken me to a casino, I Knew that for a long time, but you can say that things when it comes to the youth of now yes, the social networks, all that influences the new Generations, for that reason we have to give a lot of emphasis that things can be Directed in that Direction and not in the one that someone from an old generation does not have taught us that path , in the person , I would say That these things When they are not like this are quite bvious to many, and it is based on the fact that many more things can be done if you want, but just as social networks say.


Social networks are now the ones that most influence young people, children and even adults themselves, so apparently there are many more things that can influence decisions, now you only need to see some type of advertising for someone to own a casino, or know Anything that has to do with casinos, with sports betting or knowing the most exciting casino platforms, that is something obvious, we can also see that on any social network, there is always a casino that they promote, apparently they are not casinos that are from the Cold , they are casinos focused on FIAT money, but things can still be seen like this, personally I think that when it comes to doing things efficiently, it is more on the same TV you can see how great advertising is. in casinos, so now the influences are only found on the internet, in TV Advertisements, in everything , things are Always like this, it is clear that when it comes to casinos the advertising is very big, just as when it is done in the forum.

Yes, even though the current era is different and the younger generation can access via social media and recognize gambling from environmental factors, the role of the older generation is still very important in educating the younger generation, the older generation is also influential and can be an example for the younger generation so even though the environment is full by gamblers and online gambling is widespread everywhere as long as parents can give firmness to the younger generation not to gamble then that doesn't happen but it all depends on the education of the people around them if they care about the future of the younger generation then they can gamble silent keeping quiet so that the younger generation does not know about these activities and the role of parents in limiting their children's internet access so that they do not access things related to gambling, that matter the younger generation will be far from the risk of gambling.

Environmental conditions heavily contribute to shaping a person's behavior. Moreover, a habit also may arise from such a condition. This signifies if the subject is a young person or a kid who still requires a role model. You stated yourself that the current condition affects how the younger people behave. It would be absurd if you continued the aspect in which the kids evolved into.

Conversely, if you want to direct them to embark on studies, you should create an environment where such kind of behavior is encouraged. They already get exposed to gambling things, there is no way to change that but to critically relearn about such kind of habit. Whether it is a good one or a bad one.


Note that social media gambling advertisements or information is regulated especially for kids. So, I doubt that affects much.

Could gambling be used to teach people something in addition to being dangerous? The old can teach responsible gambling by telling the difference between fun activities and bad behavior thanks to their wealth of experience. A method like this helps young people learn how to think critically and make good decisions. Wouldn't it be better to give them the tools they need to make good decisions instead of keeping them safe?

Along with that, the idea of "gamble silent" is a paradoxical one. As important as it is to keep kids away from bad effects, censorship might not be the best solution. Speaking openly about the truths of gambling might be a better way to go about things. Instead of something that could be dangerous, the older generation can teach the younger generation about balance and the value of money. In order to give a generation that is not only aware but also smart about the decisions they make, they can offer a balanced view by talking about their experiences, both good and bad

You are making a costly point, gambling has been for ages and the old generations are technically promoting it when the new generation naturally learns about it. If they would not promote gambling, then the activity and history must end and see if the next generation will ever know about it. Frankly, what you are doing in your family or environment will always affect the young ones there, this is no matter how much you think you could hide it. Some younger ones are so smart and you might think they don't know what is going on but the truth is that they know it only that they do not often want to talk about it or they might resolve to do it behind you.

But as gambling can't go into extinction, all we can do as responsible adults is to make sure that we keep it as much as possible for those who are not of legal age or who are not wise enough to gamble. If they know in any way possible, it's responsible that we guide them on the consequences of gambling and how to protect themselves, and for them to avoid irresponsible activities even at their young ages.

Always in the hands of their parents,  as guidance can be met if they are doing the right thing trying to explain with what are the possible effects of things that they are witnessing, not all can adopt as environment really affects the mindset of each individual,  without the guidance of their parents or their guardian they might misinterpreted what they are witnessing.

It's more on how you help those young minds,  as culture can be drive if there's the right understanding and allow to avoid making big mistakes following things that can be avoided.

There are many ways can cause someone convinced to become a gambler, not only because of old people or their parents.

If he live in a country where gambling is legal, he can see the gambling ads almost everywhere.
Social medias, articles, or any sites sometime accept gambling promotion, if not the user can promote it by themselves.
Friends, colleagues etc also can introduce someone to gamble.

Everything has a risk, including "life".

At this time without us even telling, someone already knows about gambling, as well as the younger generation. With the rapid world of technology and digitalization, people can get the information they want. And at this time who is the young person who does not have a cell phone and has a social media account. I think almost all young people have cell phones and social media accounts. Which while related to the advertisement of this gambling site is like a mushroom scattered everywhere, so it is impossible if young people today do not know about gambling at all.


So no matter how much we hide our gambling activities, this still cannot prevent our children from entering the world of gambling. But even so, openly showing our gambling activities to a child is not a good thing to do.

The new generation learns a lot from the old generation, especially a bad habit people can learn more quickly. Gambling makes people dream of financial prosperity so people get hooked on it very quickly. But dreaming of gambling income is not as easy as making it a reality. You cannot save the new generation of your family from gambling even if you want to. Because gambling sites promote them in such a way that it attracts the new generation very quickly

Yes, it should be like that, the new generation must learn from the experience of the old generation, especially in terms or bad experiences, which of course can make them at least not follow or fall into the same hole as the old generation experienced. Yes that's right, none other than the cause of many people who come to get involved is because of the winning opportunities that exist in the activity, they think that they will be able to get a win or income easily just because they see some people who are lucky enough to win a certain amount in the session they do.

People do not think to think logically and common sense that nothing but luck can lead them to victory, while on the other hand anyone will never know when he will be lucky, which is why usually they will only be able to get victory by first sacrificing a lot of defeat. And yes, that is the main problem, which is that casinos are very smart in attracting audiences to get involved, no matter who it is, there must be really serious precautions.

The thing is, a topic being regularly discuss can cater interest from the people who are hearing it.  Curiosity always rise up when some unfamiliar thing is discussed again and again.  So I won't be surprise if a person even if in the first place was not interested asking question about the topic being discussed again and again. 

Same goes with an activity where a younger generation often witness their parents, uncles, aunties or grandparents does.  Like drinking and smoking, gambling is established to be somehow hereditary or kids mimicking adults activities especially when these adult often make the younger people to be their errand guy for betting/gambling.

I think you explain a different discussion of this topic, but I agree that the technological era can have a negative impact if users misuse technology to access gambling, the main influence is because of gambling advertisements in any application and very easy access to online gambling. So we cannot blame the older generation in this case, because they do not intend to influence the younger generation to follow in their footsteps, they definitely want the younger generation to become successful entrepreneurs to make their families proud, so it is advisable for the older generation to hide gambling activities from the younger generation so that they affected by gambling at a young age.

Talking about kids, they'll have multiple factors, in future, that'll lead them to gambling, but they can be stopped or trained not to fall for those factors. You can't say that all the kids or adults in gambling legalized countries would venture into gambling, due to ads. When we train kids the right way, it helps kids to follow the right route of life. So, parents need to help the government in the fight for gambling addiction in the life of growing kids. If nothing is been done, they'll go through a difficult time, growing up and won't be able to resist the ads like you said. Hence, in the case of OP and his kids or younger siblings, it's important to teach or help them avoid these people while still toddlers. And, they've been numerous contributions on what should be done with the adults, who tend to alter the future of these kids or influence them in the wrong way. In all the responses, risk is also involved. Since we can't determine the relationship between Op and his elderly neighbors or friends. Which results to the kids, listening to their conversations. When these kids are allowed to sit or play around environs where gambling is constantly a topic of the day, it'll affect their mental health and victimize them into falling for gambling adverts. They all fall in same category as kids that watch their dads gamble or follow them to gambling rooms or shops.

Don't stop the younger generation, what you need to talk to is with the old ones that whenever they talk about cricket games and bets, they should look at their surroundings and don't talk if the young ones are on their sides.

That's why if you're going to stop the young ones, they'll be even eager to know what's happening and will try to gamble and bet on cricket games. But if you tell it to the old ones, they will be aware that they shouldn't talk about it when there are kids around them.

The online gambling had huge advertising using the social media,before only the rich people do the gambling in the separate place in the online mode alone.So the gamblers was hide from their family members,they will go to casino without knowing of the family members.Old gamblers had huge space to get away from the influence of the family members in the gambling by the gamblers.The gamblers who had settled their entire life using the gambling will surely share their idea of gambling to their younger generations.The old generation was the root cause of the fifty percentage of younger generations to the gambling community.The old generations who loss money from gambling site won’t teach their younger generation.

No one would just start placing bets on a sport that they like if they are not into gambling in the first place. So, young people hearing elders talking about a certain sport will only make them curious about the sport and the names being taken and that wouldn't at all persuade them to start gambling. A person would start gambling on sports events once they grow up and have an urge to gamble in general and if they like a certain sport and have been following it for a long time, they might start betting on it.

So, there should not be problems of any sort if old people or elders are talking about a sport or a game, but it can be a problem if they are talking about gambling or placing bets and stuff in front of young children who are sitting among them or are listening to the conversations as that can make them think about what they hear.

This seems like a stupid question sorry to say, you started with a story that in your family the older ones use to talk about gambling and you also said that it's obvious that if any younger guy in the family listens to them the younger one can get carried away and start gambling too so why are you asking how to stop such thing?

You already know that not talking about gambling or not gambling in front of the younger ones will limit the exposure to gambling, isn't it? That's why I believe this is stupid, young people easily copy the holders ones either good or bad that's why we need to be a good example for the little ones.

When you see a kid out, behaving like a thug, the first thing that comes to mind is his home, someone inside must have brought the kid up this way without realizing the consequences, gambling isn't something you want to pass on to your kids.

Unfortunately this habit can be introduced to younger generations by the behavior of their parents and other people around them, but in many countries areas where gambling is allowed is often restricted except for online sites. Care should be taken not minimize exposure to gambling related activity, but if you think about certain sporting events there is a lot of this sort of advertising around. You also need to keep an eye on the sort of content they are finding on sites like Twitch as well, which can often have people playing slots or other casino games, even the microtransaction or loot boxes type betting within normal games can lead someone to pick up these sort of addictive habits.

Is it too simplistic to blame older people for youth gambling? Consider the complexity of this change. An instrument of democracy, the internet has fostered addictive behaviors like gambling. Not only the old passing on habits to the young, but a cultural transformation where digital ease meets human fragility. While seniors may have traditional gambling experiences, they did not create the current situation. Respect for the elderly should not blind us to the intricacies of technological impacts on social behavior. Isn't their quiet due to shame or a wish to protect the young from their mistakes? We must balance critical analysis with empathy. Responsible gambling and risk awareness should be promoted, especially online. We must go from generational blame to collaborative responsibility. How can society teach kids and adults about the hazards and appeal of internet gambling? Open communication and reasonable procedures are the solution, not blaming others.R

The easy accessibility of online gambling sites can increase the risk of younger individuals being introduced to gambling at an early age. Parents play a crucial role in minimizing exposure and educating younger generations about responsible behavior regarding gambling. Sports events and online platforms can inadvertently expose young audiences to gambling-related content. The integration of microtransactions and other forms of in-game betting within video games can contribute to the normalization of gambling behaviors.

It's essential for old people to be vigilant and monitor the content their children are consuming, taking proactive steps to limit exposure to potentially harmful material. Raising awareness about the potential risks associated with gambling and promoting responsible gambling behavior is essential in mitigating the impact on younger generations.

Most of the time that's the thing that can happen to those young adult,  if you stop them they will be more eager to continue and it can only create collusion and possibly a big gap between you and them, as they will think that you are preventing them to learn more about it and to win a possible decent amount to enjoy.

Otherwise you should focus yourself telling to those adults who are already engaged with gambling not to talk about it in front of those young people  to prevent interest to build inside them. Maybe they are more open and will listen to your sentiment.

Are they aware of gambling and your involvement in it? If not, they might not have connected this cricket fantasy game to gambling yet. However, if they discover the association of these two, their curiosity about gambling may arise.
I believe that it is inevitable to be unaware of gambling, but you can guide them on being disciplined and aware of associated risks.

I apologize if what I said was inaccurate and a little far from the discussion this time. And I also agree with what you said that "we cannot casually imply that the older generation is the one who gave rise to gambling habits in the younger generation."
And in my opinion, which parents and whose parents want their children to become gambling addicts, even though the parents are gamblers. And even a thief does not want his child to become a thief too, he wants his child to school and be able to achieve his goals.


However, even so, I still often find some parents who play gambling in public and open places, such as at the ronda post or in the market and on the side of the road. and when this continues, it will provoke the younger generation to do the same.

Op if you win $100,000 in a bet with small amount of money, will you tell your family younger ones to play gamble? Or if you see them playing games will you stop them? We have to be sincere. And the best way to stop the next generation to stop gambling, it must from you, you have to stop gambling and preach the gospel to them to stop and make sure that the up coming ones in the family do not see anyone one playing gamble in the family because if they see then definitely the youth generation must be affected. And that is why it is good to not to play gamble in the present of the younger kids.

I strongly advocate this. But maybe at younger ages their minds are not mature enough to accept that gambling leads to more losses than wins and they should not gamble if they want to conserve their money in a safe manner. Gradually they can be taught about the math behind the gambling scenario and how the casinos always win if played for the long run.

Its tough but like sex education and adulthood, gambling should be explained to youngsters, with the rise of fantasy sports and different forms of "veiled gambling" - this is important.

You are right, because someone who is familiar with gambling tends to do gambling regardless of others and does not care about the advice or direction of others. because their thoughts have been washed by gambling, they are addicted to gambling and even if someone forbids it, it could be that a person who is addicted to gambling argues with the person who forbids it.

This often happens, because it is not easy to get rid of the thoughts that have been controlled by gambling. all they think about is winning in gambling and they don't think about the losses they have incurred, with a lot of gambling will result in losses not wins because the chances of greater defeat cannot be hidden. So if those who are old are still fond of gambling, I hope this will not happen to their children.

If you are the gambler with more familiar with the game than the techniques,So you can have huge possibilities for winning the game.The gambler should not hear the advice of the other gamblers,because no one know their own position and holding money compared to himself.So use the money which you hold as free money into the gambling site.Because many gamblers had use to loss their money which holding for important reasons.If the old generation was in gambling still their old ages,the younger generation of that family automatically get into the gambling was the common thing.

Unfortunately I'm not a gambler who understands gambling techniques properly, so I can't get continuous profits because I also only believe in luck in gambling not really believing in tricks or patterns in gambling. do you believe in tricks or patterns in gambling to get easy wins? because as far as I know there are people who have tricks and patterns to get easy wins in gambling but what I see is that they always get defeated, it's good that they keep thinking positively but the number of times it doesn't always produce.

Even if I was a gambler who understood gambling techniques I would not teach my children or family members, because even though this is profitable but not a good thing, so I myself always hide my gambling activities because I don't want my family members to know about this. because I think they will be disappointed if they find out that I do gambling activities even if it's just on weekends.

Or they can lose a lot of money to the point that they reach the bottom. In such situation the older member of the family becomes a scare story that you tell youngsters to warn them what can happen if they do what that person did.
-remember uncle Joey? He lost his car in a bet and had to ride a bicycle to work whole winter! :D

So, bottom line is, if you're an unsuccessful gambler you will not cause young people to gamble because they won't see you as a role model, just like we don't see drunkards as role models.

Hiding gambling activities from other people or with your own family is good and there are also bad impacts, but I focus more on the positive impact if you gamble in secret, it is for the good of your children to avoid gambling and later when they are adults they will have a healthy lifestyle without gambling. .
This effort breaks bad family habits from being passed down to the next generation because gambling, even though it is considered entertainment, will still have a bad impact on those who do not have control over their own thought patterns and once again I appreciate your efforts that you will hide this activity forever and keep it away your family from gambling.

Kids always pick up whatever they see their parents doing and since as a father I am the first role model  for my kids that awareness maker to always watch my back any time I am engaged in activities that are only allowed for adults and I allow them to just be kids and play around never can I expose or make them know that I gamble and that has helped me a lot,  but notwithstanding,  we can also be the first teacher of our kids but such teaching should come in at the right time when they have attained the age to be able to comprehend such knowledge.

Every problem has a cause or the root where it originated, and if you know the cause of a problem, you can easily know where to start solving it. Like you have said, the old people in your place are always talking about gambling and the game. Do you expect that the kids will not be interested? Definitely, they will, because young people are usually very inquisitive about something. So, to solve the problem you speak of, prevent the children from being around where those elderly people are talking about gambling.

I think this is definitely family matter and families should take care of their kids very closely. I think its not good to force block your kids from gambling. I would rather suggest parents to be accepting, listening and become good teachers. I think parents should teach their kids about how exactly gambling works and its risky points. Gambling is fun activity unless you are addicted to it. I would never scare my kids away but would like to see them with high self confidence.

This is why on the time that we are already becoming parents then we should really be that responsible on the things that we are doing.We cant really just that easily show on things which we do know that it could bring out some impact into our kids growth specially when we do speak about gambling. Im not saying that its bad totally but we know that it is something an activity or thing which it is really that needing to be avoided
specially if they are really that still on young age on which they arent really that matured enough or emotionally prepared for the things that they are dealing with.

Somehow not all things that havent been showed would really means that they would completely be able to avoid gambling because on the time that you would really be that able to encounter
things along the way even if you havent been able to see it into your parents or older people then it is really still that likely you would really be able to engage with it.
There's no way that you could really be able to avoid and everything would vary or depend on the control you do have.

That is all and you have said it all. If one is successful in gambling then he will tell the younger ones that it was gambling that made him to be like that, if there was no gambling he wouldn't make money to that extend and the younger ones in the family will be motivated to join gambling and want to make money like their elder brother.  And with the successful story of the first gambler in the family the elderly ones in the family will not warn the younger ones to abstain from gambling and if they do it will only for those committed religious leaders and family members. Joey was a chronic gambler and he was not careful enough to deal with his gambling addiction.

I am a person who always makes my own decisions and does not depend on anyone so that I can do a special activity, I know that people who have more experience than us can show us paths to follow, or examples to follow, casinos are not It is necessary for them to say it and that thanks to a person we are getting into the habit of going to a casino, on the contrary, I am one of those who think that being in the casino means that things have to be done by one's own decision and not by what tell us, there are many who tell me to do activities, but it doesn't catch my attention, I do what I like and I don't have the need to depend on anyone to do my things.

I live my life the way I want it, there are activities that some friends have taken me to, among them going to drink alcohol every weekend, but that doesn't attract my attention, occasionally social mode yes, but not every weekend During the week, the same thing happens with casinos, I play because I like it and not because someone else does it.

At this rate, If the young ones already know how to play then there is no stopping them from this, but surely they can play for sure  but if they get addicted then it is their problem, and if they do not then it is OK to play a bit, you can not stop the young generations today with playing gambling, and it is still better to prevent them from knowing than to let them have knowledge about gambling,

For sure they will eventually have knowledge about it so for sure getting them a little knowledge and exposing them to little understanding will not certainly hurt them as we all will eventually get to be exposed to it someday, I think it is good for them to get a little understanding about it, and it is  our duty as elders to confirm and eventually teach them about this and not preventing them from anything, they should learn on their own that Gambling has some risk involve and not just about winning, and getting rich,

For the most part just keep them away from the conversations.  If it's witholin your own family just tell them to talk about gambling away from your kids.  And yeah if gambling is a heavy part of your family's culture it can definitely get them turned onto gambling themselves.  It's hard either way because of how much kids are exposed to everything because of the internet.

These days kids are more observing and easily grabs what we're discussing. As suggested having these kind of conversations away from kids is really good. Fantasy leagues have been more popular in my country and some people are lucky to win whereas the majority just spend like they're buying a lottery ticket. Surely young generation will follow the footprints, and they're much aware of these applications as they're openly promoted on televisions.

of course everything has an impact, whether it's hidden or not hidden. everyone has their own rights, where they have the choice to carry out their gambling activities to be told openly or hidden, but I prefer to hide it because as I said before I was afraid that my family would be disappointed by knowing my gambling activities. and vice versa, there are also people who openly share their gambling activities with their friends or family, why is that? And vice versa, there are also people who openly tell their friends or family about their gambling activities, why is that because the thoughts that people have are different so there are those who can accept gambling by seeing it not bad there are those who see gambling as bad. here lies the difference. even though my family allows me to do gambling I still don't want to tell them because I don't want other members of my family to follow in my footsteps by doing the same thing where they will follow my gambling activities especially with family members who are not old enough, I don't want this to happen.

And indeed I also do not want the younger generation in my family to be familiar with gambling or even addicted to gambling. it is very undesirable, because as you said even if it is considered only for entertainment, of course the bad effects must exist. so by considering gambling as entertainment alone does not mean that it can cover the occurrence of addiction.

I myself am not married but have a nephew who is still in school, and I don't want this young generation to get to know gambling, let alone get addicted to it. with their habits that can just do what they see, this makes me always hide my gambling activities, because I don't want them to get to know gambling before they are adults, also when they are adults  they will know gambling on their own. and at that time maybe they will have thoughts to tell the gambling they do if they have done gambling in adulthood, and at that time I have to help them not to gamble excessively which will ruin their lives later.

So they have to learn what is best for their lives so that they don't get to know gambling and do gambling so that it makes them addicted which will destroy their lives. and I think the family should pay more attention when they are not yet an adult,  if they are an adult and then let them get to know things outside by themselves it is not a problem.

It's a good idea for parents to teach their children good things, because guidance from parents is very important, even though they will let it go later, but it doesn't hurt if parents teach good things from an early age so that they can determine good things correctly. gambling is not wrong if it is done properly, it's just that many people have become victims of its effects where they respond incorrectly to gambling, and this should be avoided. if you really want to gamble, it doesn't matter as long as you can respond to it properly and correctly.

Although they will recognize gambling at a later age when they are adults, of course the family does not want them to become addicted to gambling so parental guidance is important so that they can determine what to choose later. because it is better to prevent than to cure.

If that's already open in the grasp of those young people, it's not impossible that they might find interest in that kind of gambling. No doubt that a portion of those kids will follow  the footprints and will start their way playing or betting with the same gambling activities, we can't remove that fact, people are mostly influenced by the community that they've got.

Seeing and following those old folks when they see the enjoyment residing in them will establish that interest in those kids. It's
need to be careful if you don't want to be blamed or if you don't want to see your kids following that same patterns.

So the conclusion is that as long as we are considered older in a family and we engage in gambling activities, it is better to never show these activities to other families so as not to give rise to gambling habits in other family members, including our children.
Because sometimes there a family as the head of the household who ignores the bad effects and gambles in front of the family and their children and creates curiosity and then the whole family tries to gamble and I once knew one family gambled, it was very bad.

They talk about but do not sound like they are addicted to it. Or are they? It is not in your place to try to prevent the younger generation from it. Rather engage the old people in a conversation during family dinner and ask them how they were able to gamble responsibly after all these years. Ask them what they recommend or advice for any young person who wants to try out this fantasy cricket or any other game. When you have this conversation with them be in charge of if and steer it the direction you want it go. Let them talk about how they deal with winning and losing, chasing losses, budgeting.

This is what I mean, I don't want this to happen to my family members because I also want to stop doing this one activity, it's just that there is still a feeling of wanting to gamble so I only limit my gambling activities by playing gambling only once a week, not like I used to gamble every day, and I  always force myself even if I don't have money, I look for money to be able to gamble. but now I have been able to limit my gambling activities to my family too. But now I have been able to limit this gambling activity and this is a good thing for myself. there is nothing wrong with actually sharing our gambling activities with our family too, but this gambling has different perspectives in the family, some can take it well, and vice versa there are also those who take it badly.

I can't imagine what bad things will happen if a family is all fond of gambling, it is likely that they will have economic and financial difficulties quickly they will experience drastic changes where this  change is not a change from negative to positive, but this is a change from positive to negative, and of course I can think that if a family likes to gamble they will experience great losses.

Yes, this is very important as a parent role, but telling children about the risks and danger of gambling can only be done when they can understanding it and understand what gambling is. As a parent, you must have a firm attitude toward your children so thats your children don't disobey them in the future, but the point is The main thing is, don't let the younger generation or your children take part in your gambling activities. If you want to do it, do it secretly, don't let your children find out about the gambling activities you use, as longer as they don't know what gambling is, then it will be safe, maybe they can know when they grow up and this is the right times for you to give your child insight into the dangers of gambling for the future.

When parents teach gambling to their children, they must be aware that their children can lose control of themselves, especially since they are still children whose psychological condition is still unstable. They will easily become angry when they experience loss, the same as when their wishes are not fulfilled by their parents. His parents can teach them to have self-control, which will also be useful for other things. But parents must remember that a child's personality will be different from other children. Perhaps they can control themselves until they grow up, but who knows?

Parents can only educate them well. And to teach them about gambling, it's best to wait until they grow up and understand the meaning of risk, self-control, discipline, patience, and so on. And if parents want to gamble, they should not do it in front of their children because they are observers who quickly understand what they see. That will trigger him to find out more on the Internet.

I agree with you. If a person had a bad experience because of terrible intuition or their own intemperance, why is it necessary to listen to their negativity. Experience in gambling is gained through personal trial and error; other people's experience is far from always applicable by others

That is something that we have to get used to thinking like that, because I am one of those who think that you should Always do things for yourself, not because others tell you so, I lived in an environment in my family where the majority Were engineers and I am but an Environmental Engineer , something very different from the others mentioned in my family, my father is a national guard and my mother is a teacher, for example, it was not one of them that I chose my career, that is why when I am going to think about different things to do, I don't let myself be carried away by what others have done, nor because it serves as an example, good things do have to be taken as an example to be able to do things better and have some judgment, but not everything.

If my mother had told me that I had to be a teacher, I was very sorry, but I would not have studied, because it is not what I like and that is why when I saw certain things that I Disliked , I did not do them and I did not like them. the Consequences Mattered.

I don't think there is much we can do to help our young generations. Environmental factor is playing a vital role in your situation. We cannot just make it not exists. If old people are doing something that may cause young people to get involved in gambling then we can try to tell the old peoples. But I  doubts that will make them understand you. The generation gap is here very big and trying to help the children won't do any better. If the elders aren't listening then why would the young would.

It's unkind of a parent to start teaching gambling cons and pros to his kids. Gambling could be a fun activity, discussing gambling around kids, is quite very early. Would they be able to grow up without participating in gambling? and the fact the child has been lectured about the importance of gambling responsibly doesn't guarantee he would, as an adult. Hence your idea is great, waiting till they grow up is a smart move. The guardian needs to follow procedures. If the child isn't interested in gambling, what importance would it be to teach him gambling ethics? Doing that can send him into gambling prematurely. When not under our watch, he'd make a series of mistakes. Parents who gamble should be able to detect symptoms of gambling in the life of their ward. If discovered, they can initiate the idea of advising him not to make mistakes or gamble irresponsibly. The benefit of following procedures like what I wrote above, is to avoid the anger, agony, blame, and transfer of aggression in the life of our ward.

Because if we abuse the discussion of gambling, and lecture a kid on it, when he grows up, he'll easily learn to blame the parents for being the reason for his addiction, if he gets addicted. And blaming other people only worsens the situation of the child. His emotions and mind would convince him that all he's going through was as a result of his parent's carelessness. Thereby, transferring the aggression to his parents, instead of seeking help, the family will be at war. Parents understand that a few careless behaviors we exhibit to our child can ruin the home when he's grown. So, if you're planning on talking about gambling with a toddler, Pierre, please it isn't worth the stress and mental disorder it could cause him in the future. Allow the child some time to grow and decide where he wants to belong. Then, choose the right moment to inspect his results, then issue advice. Whenever things go wrong, he should blame himself, than his parents. Blaming ourselves helps us to heal; by taking responsibility.  

The gambler at the adult age,the gambling involvement will not affect him at anyway.But if the gambler was get into the gambling at their younger ages,he will get money from their parents for each game.If he loss all the money,they will get into the crime to get the money for the gambling.So the elder should take care of their younger children in their family.The parents should find the exact talent of their children,it help them to move forward of their children in the right way.The kids who get addicted at their young age will not keep their mind in the broader way,they will satisfy with their small winnings from the gambling site.

Let them just learn their own lessons at their own pace and time.
We can't force them to change their path and believe that they will really change for the better.
Sometimes they need to realize things on their own because the change will come from themselves.

At least we can always give them some advise on what they should do and shouldn't do because we've gone through with a lot of things especially in gambling.

It's true that we can't force them but leaving them some words of wisdom and tips might just teach and make them remember the important lesson that they'll realize soon.

Yeah, some may become expensive realization or if they listen, it will cost them less money.

Indeed, the young adult will continue to find ways to get money to gamble, once they already lose what they've got from their parents they will seek for other source to the point that they may steal which really possible when someone got involve into gambling, they need to please the desire inside them and they will do even things that they not usually do.


Letting them to follow the path if you have that chance to change it? Personally, if I'm on that shoe, I will not allow that. Trying to find a better ways to keep them safe and not to repeat that same mistake if it's already in the family or in the culture where they belong, though your point is valid, if that young mind will see it that way, because most of the time, they will not see it that way and instead, they will just continue the process.

Your only move here is to give them warning that gambling isn't for them to explore yet and that it's not a fun thing to be a part of it at a young age, as others have pointed out already, let them fuck around and find out, let them learn the lesson themselves, you've guided and warned them already, there's nothing that you can do from then and there. Or if you're the assertive kind, you can always just tell those uncles to stop talking about fantasy games when there's a function in the household and that kids are nearby.

That's not the mindset, there's a lot of stuff that you can do that can influence the younger generation and not all of them have the same approach so it looks as if there's not a lot that we can do, when it comes to gambling it just so happens that guidance and prohibition is the only thing that you can do with too much prohibition being such a bad idea because kids will just try it anyway. Even if the gap is just too big, they're functioning adults already so they have enough brain capacity to read the room regarding this kind of stuff and wisdom doesn't come with old age so even if they're old, that don't automatically make them correct.

If you are always carried away within your family and you do not notice that minor children or young people hear or see, it appears that you are becoming careless with what comes out of your mouth about gambling. That's not a good habit. We adults should adjust, not the children around us.

We are the ones who understand more, so we should have the initiative to avoid them, or if we can't avoid it, we should explain it to them properly so that they don't have curiosity to try or find out about the gambling that you are doing. So, let's act as role models for the children around us.

Adults seriously need to be careful of what they say or do around children because these children learn by observation.  This is the stage where their characters and habits are being formed.  And what ever they learn as kids, they grow with them. A child who is exposed to gambling at an early age (whether consciously or unconsciously) might get so addicted to gambling as they grow that they will find it difficult to get separated from it. Adults have a role to play here, help these children live a comfortable and normal life when they grow up by showing and saying around them things meant for children consumption only. Let them have the privilege of choosing which path they want to follow themselves when they become adults, so they can be solely responsible for their own decisions.

The children are their reflection of the old generations,if the old generation was from the trading background.This leads to the young people to learn the trading at their younger age compared to their own generation kids because of their parents.The traditional trading and skills was followed by their younger generations.By the inheriting habits the children of the old generation gambler also get into the gambling by nature.They will do gambling better then the experienced gamblers by nature.The important thing in this was the young generation gamblers will not get addicted to gambling because they will start to hear the words from their parents and grandparents.

There was a story I was always told when I was a kid that a family of alcoholics will have more people grown to be alcoholics same thing as smokers and I think this will also apply to gamblers because the more the elderly ones keep discussing this issues in the presence of their underaged, the more crave they might have to wanting to try this stuffs out for themselves but I think gambling is always a personal decision and one who is self disciplined wouldn’t still gamble no matter how much influences they get as there are also cases where a child is born into a family of smokers but still never smoked for once.

I agree with you a bit because it’s true that it’s very challenging to keep the current generation away from gambling, Because there is a lot of promotional campaign in our TV or other social media which our new generation gets involved in gambling very easily after a certain time. So i think every family should create awareness about it to their children.

I agree with you mate, as it is better for adult to keep their gambling discussion away from their kids so that the children don't end up practicing what they heard from their parents. This is why gambling discussions can be done when they have gone to school or when they are not around the house.

I have seen a family that because the father discusses his gambling activities with his friends in the present of his son. unknown to him that his son will go and practice what he heard and saw his father doing. It is very dangerous to leaf out children into gambling because we discuss about it in front of them since they will think that it is something good.

Like i always say and will continue to say, gambling is not necessarily a bad thing that we should try to discourage people from doing or engaging in it, where it all becomes bad is if it is being abused, so, what i personally feel is more appropriate for us to do is for us to keep teaching and preaching responsible gambling, primarily, gambling should be seen as a fun thing to do, the making money part of it should be secondary, but the whole issue of irresponsible gambling starts when this is being twisted, like the gambler places their need for money as the primary reason why he or she is gambling, and doesn't even consider the aspect of gambling for fun, this are things i believe we should discourage and i believe we will have a better gambling society coming and going forward into the future.

At 13 years a child's decision is his and the blame goes to him if he ends up making the wrong choice. Gambling isn't for kids under the age of 18. A teenager below the required gambling age bracket in his country is expected to abstain from participating in gambling. Insisting on going against the rules would be to his detriment. The duty of his parents is now over, and all he's been told about gambling at a younger age should be enough to guide him not to gamble recklessly. Then if he decides to gamble after 18, it's right, but demands adequate supervision from his parents. Mistakes are around the corner for teenagers who choose gambling at an early stage. Parents shouldn't fight their kids over gambling, instructing the young lad is necessary in helping him avoid addiction. Aggressively resisting them from gambling would improve their secret gambling activities. And the parents won't be able to detect when the child is on the wrong gambling path. Looking into the environmental factors, matters a lot, as all growing youth have multiple lessons to learn from their environment; now or later.

Winnowing out the good and bad factors is the duty of the parents. Kids don't know much about a few things; pros and cons of gambling. Money talk sweetens the ears of every child. Purchasing new toys triggers their interest in finding quick means to earn money. Kids are handed out mobile phones to communicate with parents, when out of home. Parental guide on the phone is great, but kids seem to bypass them with a few tricks they'll learn from schoolmates. Hence, the child can gamble on the same phone his parents are supposed to receive notifications from Google that his ward is visiting prohibited websites. Keeping a close eye on the child helps in catching him when cheating the parental control rules. Parents are expected to work very hard in monitoring the internet activities of children; no excuses. While the environment, school, peers, etc add a new attitude to a child, parents are expected to review those behaviors, and then decide whether to remove or allow them. So that as an adult, the child will not be welcomed into a more difficult world.

The older people are talking about games and the results of the games with themselves, and the younger ones are listening to them. Do they in any way talk about how much they wager and how much they win from any single game that they bet? If not, then there is nothing bad that they are doing. All I see is that those people are just talking about games and nothing about gambling or winning.
 
If there is anything that those younger ones are supposed to adopt or learn, it is that they will learn about sport and might enjoy watching the game. Maybe if they want to get involved in gambling, it will be them themselves who will have to lecture themselves about gambling based on the love that they have developed for sport or any other form of game that they are watching.

Well, on many occasions we have heard people talk about their experience in the game, it is something for us to take experience and learn, in any case when we are in a casino we must be very emphatic people who must always have self-control, just putting Play what we are willing to lose, that is normal, but those of us who have always had grandparents, they have given us their credit, and it may be that some say that caisnos are very nice to have fun or something, but it is also good to say that Los caisnos will always be a company where we as players must be very careful, always our grandparents, or people who are older than us, at some point they have told us about this because it could be a cause to do some type of activities, in my case When I was very little, I asked my grandmother about the casinos and she told me that it was dangerous, that every person who got into it lost money and became addicted, that there were many people who lost houses and everything. .

When my grandmother told me that, I was scared, but it remained in my mind that why casinos existed then, then I didn't think about that anymore, and well, when I was already an adult, I already had a different way of thinking , I know that casinos are companies that will always have an advantage over gamblers because they have to ensure their profit and that is something normal, something that we must see as extremely important to know well what we are thinking about, of course all this This is what people who have more life experience can say to us at any given time, however one takes advice and also makes a filter of the things that one can accept and consider for one's life, such as good, bad and bad. This makes us what we are , in some cases it is like that, in others there are books, financial advice.

We cant really be able to deny that in the eyes of those young people who do able to see those older ones then they would really be believing on whatever the things that they've been saying and doing.
On which it would really be giving out that kind of huge probability that it would really be giving out that kind of influence in speaking about on the things that they are dealing with. This is why
as a parent then we should really be that watchful when it comes to our actions because if we do really make out those things in front of our kids specially gambling then most likely
they would really be walking on the same path as yours. If you dont like for your children to be gamblers then better not to let them see in the first place.

 :D
Better not to lead them to have that interest if you don't want your children to follow that same path, if you care enough for their future I agree not to give them any idea about it, or if in case they are seeing it with other people from you community better to be their to answer each question that theyhave in mind.

It's true that the influence from the culture or nature where you are living do have that weight when we talk about development of child interest, especially if the parent itself have that affiliation with gambling.

The culture or nature is the two influence for children as you rightly have said. In the case of nature, I think that can be explained with what happens around the house where the children are raised. If the father have some obnoxious character, he is suppose not to be displaying them in the front of his children because they would naturally imbibe into it. And also if there is bad teaching or learning process in the neighborhood, social gathering or school which are also agents of socialization the children are most likely going to exhibit it. Therefore, there is need to take children away from certain illicit behaviour so that they can grow like children and not to learn character above their age because they are not yet equipped mentally to handle such habit like child gambling.

And just like on what i have said that we oldies or mature people do really know on what are the imposed risks of gambling on which it would really be just that understandable that we shouldnt really let our kids do able to touch up that area because risks on making themselves addicted would really be there and we do know on what are  the consequences once you are hooked up with gambling addiction. This isnt really just that talking about gambling addiction but also other things which would really be affecting you out negatively specially if you do deal up with excessive manner
then you would really be  that ending up on a bad way. We do know that everything which is excessive would really be that bad. This isnt really that something that could really be
that ideal on letting them see about these things.

I like your opinion as you elaborate the intension of my comment. That's reality, as children are still dwelling on what they are witnessing and, for them, those things that they are seeing from adults are something that they can follow, without proper support to make them understand them, those things will grow inside them, and they will simply follow it as, for them those things are normal.

We as adults/ parents should take that responsibility to make sure that those young folks will inherit good things and not those that we don't want them to grow up with.
