401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation on: January 21, 2024, 09:55:56 PM
If the younger generation is involved in gambling, they can lose control of themselves because, at a young age, they are vulnerable to becoming emotional, and ultimately, they will be triggered to use more of their money. The younger generation needs to realize that they don't need to gamble, and with the guidance of adults around them, they can give them the understanding to stay away from gambling. They don't need to seek pleasure from gambling games if they know there are bad impacts behind gambling. They can use other activities to get pleasure so that they will not experience gambling addiction like other young generations. This is where parents and teachers must continue to guide these teenagers so they will not try to gamble.
402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: January 21, 2024, 09:29:23 PM
I wouldn't scold him if I knew he stole my money, but I would ask him to talk privately. I will ask him why he stole, and if I know that the money was used for gambling, I will explain that gambling has risks and that if it is stolen money, he can be caught by the police if he steals it from someone else. I will not report it to the authorities, but I will ask him not to do it again.

If a teenager is scolded, he will become wilder and more difficult to advise. They tend to want to explore their curiosity and do what they want. As parents, we may need to take a different approach, especially since they are approaching adolescence.

If the child wins a lot of money, I'm not sure if the mother will be disappointed and angry. However, the mother could be disappointed and angry because the money is used for gambling, whereas the mother does not like seeing her child gambling. But the mother will still forgive her child because I'm sure the mother will love him.

yes, that's true, because I think it's like that too, because I myself have a friend who likes gambling and when he gambles he can't be bothered even if he is called, it's unlikely he will respond to our calls, this makes me think that gambling can affect Their thinking becomes more focused on gambling, and makes them not care about other things around them. In my opinion when they become addicted to gambling, it makes it difficult for them to see the conscious side, and as you said, because in their minds there is only gambling and gambling. Also, with them like that, in my opinion, they won't see the loss they have experienced and it will definitely be a big loss.

I agree with you I think these three things are important for those who want to gamble including us too. because if we can master these three things, I think they can avoid big losses and also with gambling addiction, in my opinion it should be avoided, but with their thinking like that,  in my opinion it will only lead them to gambling addiction. I think this applies to those who have a good mindset, so they can see the negative side.
These are people who like to gamble, and they don't want to be disturbed when they are gambling. We have to understand it, but if they are not gambling, we can advise them not to gamble too often, and they should do other things to divert their minds. We can invite him to do other activities so he can see that other things can also provide him with fun and entertainment. By frequently inviting them to do other things, they will open up their minds and realize that they need to reduce their gambling activities and do other things. But if no one is willing to invite him to do other things, he will not give up his gambling activities, and maybe he will become addicted to gambling without anyone knowing. It will make his life start to fall apart and can impact his health too because he will not stop gambling to eat or carry out his daily activities.

Yes, these three things will help someone to avoid problems that can arise after gambling so that they can enjoy gambling as they should. They will not gamble excessively because they know what impact gambling has on them, so they will really take care of themselves seriously. Yes, they can avoid big losses and gambling addiction because they have a wise mindset in using gambling as entertainment. And if more gamblers were able to do so, the number of gamblers addicted to gambling would decrease.

Thank you for this advice, and I am baffled with some responses on this thread at times as some will even encourage such a bad attitude. Your work is your work and gambling is gambling, the two should not mix. Even if you can't control the urge to gamble at work, that means that you should be extra careful because something might be fishy and will never be good for the person. Imagine, even at the time of doing the work that delivers to you your daily bread, you can check your gambling platform many times in just an hour, and you think that is still normal? This is an addiction and it is not too late to stop it, and the earlier such is fought, the better.

I've fought a whole lot of app addiction like that before and I won easily, it only takes some awareness of the conclusion of whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Once you can reasonably conclude that it is wrong, then the determination and discipline to fight it are what you should reach out for. Once you can be successful in fighting it in a day, or two and going to the fourth day, I am certain that you will have defeated it, and you will not even remember you have such a bad practice any more. But it will persist if we are idiotic and believing that we are doing what is good while it is actually bad. Even if you are not caught or penalised by anyone at work, it is morally right that you are focused on what you are doing unless it is just the type of job that is so informal or that gives the free time/room for that.
Yes, gambling and work should not be combined because they are two different things. Work can provide us with income that we can use to meet our daily needs. Meanwhile, gambling is an activity that can provide pleasure, sadness, entertainment, and so on. And we are not allowed to gamble at work because it violates workplace regulations. We must know that the workplace is for work while we can gamble wherever we want when we are not doing anything or have free time. But that doesn't mean that if we take a break at work, we can gamble because this will depend on the situation and conditions at the workplace.

Yes, we have to conclude whether our actions are right or wrong. Let's just ask our little hearts how we would feel if, for example, we were a boss and saw that our employees were gambling at work. We don't want our workplace to tolerate this attitude because other employees will do other things at work where there are already regulations that we cannot do outside of work. After all, it can interfere with our performance. We cannot be indifferent to this because we have been accepted to work at our workplace, and we should be able to respect it by working as well as possible. We can't waste it because finding work is very difficult nowadays and we must face tough competition. If accepted for work, we still must compete with other employees to show our achievements.

a common problem that gamblers often do is when they don't want to lose but they still gamble but when they lose they brag and blame other parties and this is a very ridiculous incident that gamblers often do.
I understand that there are gamblers like this, in fact almost all the gamblers I know still have this kind of character when they don't want to lose or lose, they keep betting because in their brain they have the assumption that they want to try to get a big win even though logically their mind already says it's impossible to win big while being unlucky and gamblers like this are like going against their own minds who don't want to gamble and are forced to do so.

the feeling of wanting to continue gambling actually only depends on your mindset and for me, if a gambler has a good mindset, of course when he wants to gamble again he will firmly adhere to the guidelines in his own mind not to gamble anymore and secure his budget so he can gamble responsibly.
This has often happened in many places, and there are gamblers like that who don't want to lose, but they still gamble. We can try to understand it because they may be a little frustrated with the losses they get, so they act like that. And we also don't need to be too close to them, especially when they have experienced loss because later we might be blamed too. We should stay away from them and do what we want to do, and if we want to gamble, we should gamble alone in our room so that there are no people like that. They can't realize that that's what happens in gambling, and the more they want to win, the more likely they are to experience losses that could be bigger than they imagined. They may not be able to achieve a win yet, so they will start looking for someone nearby to blame.

If gamblers have set their mindset about gambling from the start, they will not try to gamble excessively. They will continue to guard themselves when gambling and will leave the casino when they have had enough gambling. They will not want to use more money to try to catch up on their wins or recover their losses because getting it is difficult for them.

This actually depends on where each person lives. If you are in a country where gambling is legal, of course talking to other people about the gambling you do will definitely feel like normal. However, if you live in a place where the majority of people reject gambling activities, of course, silence is better. At least you don't harm other people with your gambling activities.
Yes, that's true because by living in a country where gambling is legal, we can relax in discussing gambling and don't need to be afraid of the law. But it would be different if we lived in a country where gambling was prohibited. Maybe we will not freely talk about gambling and will choose quiet places or at home to talk about gambling. And for people who often talk about us or the gambling we do, we don't need to listen to them and choose to go away and leave them because we have nothing to do with them. And as long as we don't disturb the people around us and they are okay with the gambling activities we do, that means they can accept us regardless of whether we gamble or not. Each person can determine their choice to gamble or prefer to do other things, which is their wish. They can talk about us, and as long as we are not disturbed, we just let what they say about us.

All of us at some point when we are doing anything in a casino, if we are playing with slots, with dice, with any game we can get money, it's expensive, the more we sign, because we want to keep winning and this is something that always goes away to fulfill, especially in players who are novices, this type of thing always manifests itself, when they are playing we see that there may be many reasons to quit, other reasons to continue, even if you are a novice and you like the game then you will not hesitate to continue playing and betting, but before all that, I think it is a very intelligent and sensible thing to do is to allocate money willing to lose, and if that is achieved, well, if you win, excellent, you make a good return of funds. , but in the case that nothing is won, then we have to assume, that is what we must do in case of losing, there is no problem, if we insist because we can lose much more, such as dispossessing more, putting in more money, that is not It is recommended because we would be going against our own rules.

Now, when we are looking for things to do to have greater confidence, that is, if the person allocates an amount willing to lose, let's say 40 USD, and if the person wants to go crazy, or wants to play in a very crazy way, they can do it, but as long as When the premise is to take care of the money, if the money is lost, well that's the end of the party, nothing else is done, otherwise the things that can be done are different, that's why when we play in a casino we have to have the Maybe above all, not only budget management, if we want to learn well about casinos, their games, we have to know how to play and see if we can make more money, it is something unique, if we do it very well, otherwise We managed to achieve very good results, as I said carefully , to remain calm , you know that you can't put in more money.
And we shouldn't have high hopes of making money from gambling because we have seen many gamblers who have lost a lot, so we don't need to gamble for too long. Indeed, we can make money from any gambling game, but we must remember that making money from gambling will not always be achieved because there will be times when we lose. And if we realize this, we will not try too hard in gambling, let alone hope to make money. Beginner gamblers want to win because they have seen several gamblers who have succeeded in winning several gambling games. And that is why we have to be wise in playing gambling and not force ourselves to try to win the gambling game. We don't need to think about the hope of winning from gambling, and we should try to enjoy the gambling game.

A gambler must allocate a certain amount of funds to gamble and stay within his limits so that he does not experience more losses. When we gamble in a casino, offline or online, we really have to choose a gambling game that we think makes us comfortable and can enjoy the gambling game and with an amount of money that we can afford so that we don't need to feel regret because we have used a lot of money to gamble. By always understanding the limits of gambling, we will not put in more money because that can trigger us to lose self-control and end up using all the money. It can cause a person to become frustrated because he has lost a lot of money, and if he is a gambler who often gambles, he will not just stop, but he will try to return to the casino to recover his losses.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 21, 2024, 03:26:39 PM
~snip~
reanalyzing the analysis of the experts will help the gambler to have a firsthand information on the predictions and why it was kept the way it is by the expert. That would be extra work for the gambler, coupled with the amount of money he has paid to the expert. Many wouldn't want to engage into such stress again, they'll wager the amount of money that looks substantial for a big win on the prediction, because it's from an expert. The gambler would think it's accurate, then he'd definitely make it big. That's always a bad experience for gamblers in money aspect. In most case if the prediction works at some point the gambler won't stop buying the predictions. He'd stick to it despite seeing he's not winning anymore with the expert's help. It's fine that we may not mind wagering more money, even when we are losing out money.

But of what use would it be patronizing, over and over, an expert who contributes to the losses. It'll be great for the gambler to do it himself, since no difference is spotted. The player may get luckier using his prediction compared to what the expert has to offer. I've realized that gambling requires not much stress, doing lots of research and analysis. Investing little time predicting the game can be profitable than reading all the sport channels for hours trying to know what a football result will become in the next few hours. What will be of the match will be, and no amount of research would change it. The casual prediction has worked for many gamblers, including myself. Those games you thought wouldn't be positive or yield profits, ends up playing in your favor. While the ones we think is sure, ends up disappointing us, the gambler.
At least, it will increase gamblers' knowledge, which will be useful for analyzing other matches. And if they can get useful lessons, they can also improve their analytical skills to be even better because they can get lessons from other people. It may make him spend more time than usual, but it is worth doing because this can help them improve their abilities. But if they don't want to study the analysis and place their bets immediately, they won't understand what and how the person who predicted the bet can get the analysis results. But if they don't want to study this analysis, they can reduce the amount of money they bet so they won't lose as much if their chosen team loses.

Indeed, gamblers must be able to learn this analysis so that they only depend a little on other people's predictions and can search for and obtain good sources of information to provide the data they need. Obtaining this data requires time and practice to find the source of the data. Of course, by looking for the data source, they can get this information, which they can then use to analyze each match that will take place. Becoming a match analyst takes time, and you cannot get this ability quickly because we have to learn continuously to improve this ability. If they can get analysis from a pro, they will also increase their knowledge, improving their analytical skills.

Experiencing defeat and losing money when gambling is a natural thing, but it depends on how we can respond to it. Namely by implementing limits so that we don't experience too much loss of money and of course by implementing these limits we can avoid gambling addiction because we are too chasing losses. We must be able to accept that losing is part of gambling itself and must be prepared for any outcome of winning or losing and can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Indeed, by implementing things with limits, we can be disciplined and gamble responsibly and not cause things that are more detrimental to us (addiction) and we can take examples of people whose lives have been ruined because of gambling so we can learn that excessive gambling makes life worse someone gets messy and of course we don't want to experience something like that.
Yes, it is normal to experience loss and lose money, but what is unnatural is that many people still cannot accept their defeat and still want to gamble to recover their losses. That would increase their losses even more, and they would not know when to recover their losses. It doesn't feel good to experience loss, but if we can realize that this is a consequence that we have to accept when gambling, we can accept it well. We also won't gamble any longer because we know there is a possibility of experiencing more losses.

By having good discipline and responsibility, we can use gambling as entertainment because we know that chasing victory will only make things difficult for us, and we will not try. We will learn to be responsible gamblers when gambling because we don't want to gamble excessively, which could result in losing even more money.

The most basic thing is to give children an understanding about gambling, both in terms of winning and also the bad effects of gambling itself.
Indeed, at the age of 18+, a child is starting to be able to think for himself and is happier with his choices. However, in order to prevent evil, it is very important to continue to guide him even if the child doesn't like it. What's more, the problem of gambling is that we are adults who gamble without showing it to other people, especially children. because the bad impacts are very dominant compared to the good impacts of winning at gambling
Yes, that is what every parent must do with their children so that they are not involved in something that could harm them. However, it's not easy because teenagers want to try something without anyone knowing, so this can make them slowly fall into something they couldn't have predicted. But if teenagers can be closer to their parents and grow and develop while being supervised and guided by their parents, they will not want to try many things that could negatively impact their lives. And if their parents want to gamble, they can do it elsewhere so their children don't know what they are doing. This will prevent children from knowing about gambling, and they will not try to gamble because they already know about it from their parents.

We can't just conclude that making too many picks can make us to loses more when we bet. Things are different the way we bets is different also. Some persons belief that if they pick more games or matches, their possibility of winning would be low while others thing the opposite is the case. We don't need to affirm it to everyone pointing that if we choose more games we could lose more. Professional gamblers does not care about how many games we are selecting but only after the sure and predictable games. Any how we choose to bet is all left to us and we don't have to see other people as doing the wrong things.
Yes, we really can't just conclude because each person will be different in their choice of betting. But by choosing small bets and with small amounts of money, at least we have minimized the amount of money lost because we are cautious in placing bets. We don't want to experience many losses just because we want to win, even though we know that when placing bets on sports matches, we need to make an analysis that will give us which team has a chance of winning. Professional gamblers also won't take too big a risk by choosing a lot of matches, especially if they don't know much about each team that will compete. They are better off placing bets on teams they know because that can increase their chances of winning.

Good point,  timing is a factor when discussing complicated things like gambling,  though we are already in an Era where gambling is no longer a big deal,  there's still a chance that your partner will not agree with what you are dealing with, but if you put it in the position where  both your mood is in the same place, you can use it as opportunity to discuss things where you and your partner  can openly provide your sentiment regarding to what you wanted him to realize.

Good communication helps not to increase  risk but instead  it will serves as a safe guard when you deal things the right way.
Yes, that's what he meant by discussing this gambling problem with his partner so that no misunderstandings would occur. This will allow them to discuss more closely and express what they want. This is why there must be openness from the wife about her gambling activities to her husband so that the husband can understand that his wife only gambles periodically and is still able to look after herself and be responsible for her gambling activities.

If her husband advises her to start reducing her gambling activities until her wife can give up gambling, that would be even better because neither of them would think about allocating funds for gambling. They can shift their money allocation to other things that are more important than just gambling.

I agree that the truth is that saying that you play cunningly to get benefits is not all true. I think what makes gambling players think all of that is true is to establish themselves that they are not the ones who are wrong when they lose at gambling. when in fact, gamblers always want more winnings and cannot control themselves to stop playing when they have won. if they can control themselves to stop playing, surely all of that will never happen and the players can have fun with the winnings they have achieved.
It is normal for gamblers to always want to win, but they also have to realize that they will not be able to win too often from gambling games. They must be able to restrain themselves well so they can be responsible gamblers when they are gambling and not use a lot of money. Those who are lucky can make money from gambling, and only a few people have that kind of luck. Being a responsible gambler, they can enjoy gambling games as entertainment and will not try to chase victory because they realize it is difficult to obtain. They would prefer to enjoy gambling as it is and let luck take its course.

~snip~
Does this science in gambling guarantee winning? In my thinking, no technique can guarantee a 100% winning rate. Thus, instead of looking or trying to follow principles to win, it is best to control the amount we stake and our level of expectation. Most times, it is the hope that kills. Nobody should be deceived into believing that there is a shortcut. Gambling is 100% uncertain so, principles will help curtain loss but not winning.
No one can guarantee victory when playing gambling, but at least with this knowledge, gamblers can study it to find strategies for playing gambling. But I agree with you that it is better to control the amount of money we will bet and not have too high expectations from gambling because we will still have difficulty getting that win. Yes, hope will kill our expectations, so we experience loss when gambling. And before that happens to us, we must try to control ourselves by always limiting our gambling activities.
414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: January 20, 2024, 10:43:52 PM
I agree with that, winning or losing at gambling is based on luck, and more losses dominate therefore we must be able to limit the gambling that is done as you say, and indeed gambling should be done carefully,  so as not to taking wrong actions that make us fall into gambling which loses us large amounts.
Luck is indeed one factor in winning gambling, but I think luck is also not the main factor because as far as I know, many people who are lucky actually lose to smart people, Slot or dice games may rely on luck if we are beginner gamblers , but sometimes bookies have cunning tricks in managing the game so that in the end those who rely on luck will also lose.
 In my opinion, gambling also has knowledge and even analyzing the game is an important thing in gambling. If luck was the main factor in gambling, wouldn't the bookie not have to bother to cheat the game?.
 Winning because of luck does exist, but if we look specifically, of course the winning percentage will be very small and will not happen continuously in the game. I very rarely see lucky people who can win lots of wins and sometimes luck only favors 1 or 3 rounds at a game, while the rest I think is the bookie who controls the game to drain our money every penny.
No one knows that he is a lucky person because the meaning of a lucky person here is that he always has luck when it comes to gambling. And as long as he has luck, he can win because something "moves" him to choose the gambling game or which one he should place as a bet. We don't know whether the dealer will be cunning enough to prevent gamblers from winning. However, even without being cunning, the casino still gets the biggest profit because many greedy gamblers or gamblers want to recover their losses, so they use more money to gamble. There is a science in gambling, and every gambler who wants to play must study it until they master it. Bookies don't need to bother cheating to get big profits, while only a few gamblers can get lucky, so that's where the casinos can get their profits.

Winning due to luck is a very small percentage because we are still determining when luck will come to us, and we can only find out by continuing to gamble. But if we continue gambling without stopping, we will only experience more losses, and that does not guarantee that our luck will come. And it's the casinos that will make more money than the gamblers. That is why every gambler must be responsible for his gambling activities so that he can prevent large losses but can still enjoy gambling as entertainment.

If your "hope" is tied to gambling results, then you are not in the right business and you should stop gambling all together. Gambling is not for any hope reasons, its for fun and you should be trying to have some fun when you are gambling. Meaning, if you win then you are happy, if you lose then you just gambled and had fun, those should be the emotional things that you are feeling.

If you have emotions outside of that, then you are not really doing a good job. For example, in this case we are talking about having a potentially "hopeful" result, that means you hoped for something and you should not be hoping, hoping for something means that you are going to end up being sad when what you hoped for doesn't happen and that's wrong.
That's true because having hopes from gambling can deceive those who still return to gambling because gambling will not give you easy wins. There will probably be more people than before, especially those who are still curious and want to keep winning, and they will continue to deposit more money to gamble. If that's the case, that hope is hope while they are still experiencing loss.

When playing gambling, we will experience increased emotions, especially when we experience losses of any amount. And this emotion will increase when we experience more losses, so we will only be triggered to gamble even more. Hoping for gambling will only make you unable to enjoy gambling, which aims to pleasure you and other people.

As a wife, opening up and informing your partner that you have involved in gambling does not seem appropriate. Most men would perceive it as a sign of desperation and risky behavior caused by their expectations of the best from their spouses, rather than random women who gamble as another source of money. Facts: Most men consider women who gamble to be idle and lazy; perhaps they have no right to evaluate any activity because the women in issue are grown enough to know what they want; anything that makes you happy, do it.
It's okay if the wife tells her husband that she also gambles. But a wife should be able to see when her husband is not busy and relaxing so they can chat about many things. It will also increase the closeness between the two of them so that there will be an interesting discussion between them. Maybe initially, the husband could not accept his wife's explanation, which was normal because if the husband gambled and told his wife about it, his wife would definitely do the same. So that's only natural. The wife can explain more about why she gambles to her husband, and the wife should be honest with her so that her husband does not get too angry. The wife can also say that as long as she gambles, she can be responsible well, and maybe later, her husband will ask her just to stop gambling because there are serious impacts behind gambling. And if the husband asks the wife to stop gambling, the wife must obey him and not indulge her ego because it is their household.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 20, 2024, 09:45:42 PM
A gambler should know how much risk he can accept, but most gamblers don't care about this risk and instead gamble more often and use a lot of money. They consider all risks to be the same no matter how much money they use, so they will not give up until they win. Gamblers who do not want to see the risk of losing their money getting bigger will try to maintain balance by not betting a lot of money and also always trying to control the amount of money to bet.

However, the greater the risk, the more gamblers can get big wins, but it's not worth doing, especially for gamblers who don't have a lot of money. They will only waste their money if they immediately bet with big money because that means they have the opportunity to experience a bigger loss.

Gambling can either been seen as negative or positive activity, it depends on a person's point of view. Gambling is an open activity in which anyone can participate without any pressure from others. Besides, this is a free world, and I've worked hard enough to pay my bills, so I won't tolerate any type of abuse from anyone; after all, I'm not looking for an entitlement post in either religion or where I work. We are citizens who work sufficiently forceful to ensure that we create our primary income for ourselves and our families, and we do so while simultaneously creating change for pockets.
Many people think that gambling is bad because they have seen the impact it will have on people who gamble and the people around the gambler. But gambling should be neutral and doesn't need to be played for a long time, let alone using a lot of money, but that's what we are. We still forget these two things, money and time, so we continue to gamble even though we have lost a lot of money or have been gambling for a long time. And that's what makes many people still choose to hide their gambling activities because they don't want people to call them irresponsible gamblers. But some openly gamble and don't want to listen to what other people say because that is their business, and they still want to gamble.

I'm not an often sports gambler, I'll bet when I see a decent opportunity, with low openings for error. There's no guaranteed bet for sure, but I prefer going for safer options, betting for the teams I deem as superior and more likely to win.

Personally, I believe that the lower the risk isn't necessarily the best technique. For instance, in the crash game, withdrawing at x1.10 multiplier is far worse than winning a few games with larger multipliers. A win with a 2x multiplier will outperform multiple wins at 1.10x, and it's something I've experienced myself. The risk is actually much lower aiming for 2x.
Agree with you that taking low risk is not a good gambling strategy. For those who want to enjoy gambling and earn profit from it, there is definitely no alternative to take risk. At the beginning of gambling I thought I could gradually increase my bankroll by taking less risk but that was wrong because after I won a few matches in a row with low skate bets, when I lost a match I lost all my winnings and I had additional losses. If one likes to bet he must take risks. I research before taking a bet and then take the risk. If I lose, I don't regret it because I assume that I will lose there.
If they are gambling to make money, they will probably take bigger risks because it corresponds to their expected results. But they have to be able to accept the result if they lose, and many gamblers are not ready to accept the result. They want big winnings, but they are not ready for the risks, which makes people frustrated and stressed to see the reality. When they have lost in a row, they should already know that it is time to stop gambling and will not continue gambling, whatever the risks. But even though people cannot accept the results, they will continue gambling another day, so whatever the risks, they will continue gambling. They should be able to try to reduce the risk so they don't have to grieve for a long time.

You just reconstruct what I just said in your first paragraph. LOL

Anyway, I understand your concern about the grandmother having fun without spending a lot of money. However, what if gambling is the only activity that brings her joy, without causing stress or fatigue? It always varies from person to person what they enjoy doing in their later years. The best approach is to have a conversation with them and show that you can empathize with their interests.
Forgive me. I have no intention of reconstructing it. Perhaps because I was a bit sleepy, I shouldn't have written that part. I'm so embarrassed by you. Once again, I'm sorry.

Ok, here's my response. Hopefully, I won't do it again. Indeed, there is no limit to someone's suitability for gambling because it depends on how they feel when gambling. Maybe the grandmother still feels capable of gambling and can control her emotions even if she loses, but no one knows how long the grandmother will be able to do that. Maybe the grandmother thought of it as entertainment in her old age, and they would return to gambling another day. But it's still not good for them because after all, it can have an impact on their health. After all, in gambling, many surprises can take them by surprise.

A grandmother must have found an activity that can make her have fun other than gambling. I often see some grandmothers in my neighborhood who spend their time gardening, sewing, or doing casual sports with grandmothers their age, and they really enjoy their time. They often gather at one of them's houses to enjoy tea and reminisce about their youth. That would be better for them than gambling and would not make their children, grandchildren, or whole family busy looking for where they are. But I agree with what you said about inviting her to have a conversation that can show that we empathize with the grandmother. That could give the grandmother an understanding not to go to the casino too often and that she should keep herself busy with other activities.
