Do not make curiosity to people around you while you are playing gambling.

[Smartprofit]

Gambling addiction was a serious problem that happens in almost all countries. Many people go into gambling coincidentally and watch their parents or closest family or friends play poker cards or other card games or even go to offline casinos because of curiosity.

They were playing gambling because of curiosity and never thought much about gambling or how they became addicted to gambling in the future. They are just smart enough to hide their gambling activity from others because they do not want others to know that they like gambling.

I am reading this article that telling she played gambling since eight years old and her dad was a compulsive gambler.

That is one example of why someone becomes a gambler, but I believe many others known gambling because of other reasons.

You can play gambling, especially if you play online gambling but we never know if what we did in gambling can attract people beside us to follow us playing gambling without knowing. Always look around you before you spend your free time playing gambling and not making others curious about what you did.

So how are you playing gambling? Did you play alone in your rooms or in your home or in the public area or do you have a special room just to spend your time to playing gambling?

Yes, many people react aggressively to information that you are gambling. 

Gambling is one of the entertainment options available.  However, many believe that this is a very stupid and harmful activity.  This is not true, but it is very difficult to convince them.  People are very often overly categorical. 

They do not want to accept someone else's point of view, which is different from their picture of the world. 

Therefore, I do not advertise my addiction to gambling. 

I play alone.  I create a super comfortable atmosphere to play - with a glass of red wine or a cup of cappuccino.  I turn on my favorite music.  I sit in a comfortable chair.

Players or audience are not alone responsible in bringing in people around. It includes everything starting from the way game is set, ambiance and etc. More fall in at first due to offers provided to try out. Marketing is the key to cover everyone around. But yes through word of mouth and by people around are other reason as well. Nothing can be done unless and until one has control over himself. Its again everyone is responsible.

I think the bad influence of parents can't be used as measure to determine a son or daughter will also develop that same bad behavior, because there are also many cases where the children completely reject the activity their parents were involved in a negative way when they become adults. It's not hard to find someone who don't drink alcohol because they had a negative experience with a drunken father or mother during the childhood and the same goes with gambling.

It looks like in cases similar to the one presented on this article, sons get inspired and somehow even admire the father including his mistakes, so they follow the same patterns. But if sons have a critical approach towards the addicted parent, they will most probably not commit the same mistakes during their adulthood.

However, genetics work in a way the addictive behavior may appear later again in a next generation...

This is something that might work when you are playing the games online, that does not just give you privacy but at the same time it protects such instances from happening since you can more or so prevent people from getting involved or even kids from associating with such things, therefore I do think it's more of a probelm when you are gambling in person and even allowing kids to see or experience it otherwise, There are people who get agitated and take it out on their families as well, therefore this is something that is far to personal, this would only involve the person who is gambling and the person who is allowing to see and experience therefore it's not something that can be controlled by casinos for sure.

It is sad when an adult exposes a young child to gambling activity - as kids can be very impressionable. Like a lot of things in life, bad habits can be learned by how you are raised and the environment around you, even if that is not the intention of the person with the problem. Far too often people with a gambling addiction can be so engrossed in their own life and misery, that they forget the ripple effects that it causes to people directly around them - besides the financial aspect, it can result in them losing self respect, cause anger issues due to lack of control, take up all their attention and many more. If younger generations do not have a guide they might follow in the same footsteps or worse, because they think it is normal.

This is ridiculous; well, depends on the culture. I have been living in two different culture and I have never found gambling to be something which can be shared with someone; mostly not even with the friends. No one knows I place bets on sports other than some of my friends I made here and some other platforms. Why would even anyone know; at least someone from the family? Well, when it’s addiction, it’s hard to keep secret.
Nevertheless, I didn’t get why she mentioned the biggest win from Royal Flush as worst day. Anyone?

Sometimes satisfying a child's curiosity by answering questions is enough to help a child make a good decision in the future. If your environment is an environment where there are different forms of gambling activity, don't think that keeping your child away from what is, and always under constant supervision will help the child, it is best you educate the child and tell him about what is going on around him so he can be make a good decision and be comfortable to talk to you if he has questions.

The major problem is that not talking about gambling and other habits heightens curiosity in children by not telling them about it. If parents learn to talk more to their children and explain the dangers of habits the case of starting to gamble out of curiosity will not have resulted in many.

lockdowns made us play online only. it's best that way than attracted to the bright lights of traditional casinos.

sorry for not reading at all the link. but how did an eight-year-old girl play casino? if she was with her BFFs i think it's normal like how we do it when we were kids. curiosity and the thrill i guess. we like doing it when it's prohibited.

I don't think it was exactly like she started gambling from the early age. She used to play poker and that's out of fun only; learned from her dad. But that's later turn into an addiction. Later, she used to go into local casino to play the poker. Poker is one of the most addictive game by nature. I used to play it a lot back in the day but these days, I have managed to play few hands a month or a week.

Honestly, if you're letting your kids watch you gamble unsupervised the problem is not with them or the gambling casino you're in, the real problem is you and your bad parenting. There's a reason why an age limit is imposed on activities like this and of course, that is to avoid exposing younger individuals to this kind of addicting venture at a very early age. If you would gamble, be it online or offline, make sure you don't have kids sneaking right behind you watching you play, or at least let them watch and inform them about the detriments of gambling so you start them young.

Exactly. Although of course environment plays a huge role in influencing a minor to gamble later on in his life, but this exposing shouldn't come from your immediate guardian out of all people. Honestly parents that do this must stop and reconsider their actions because that kid will one day live his own life and your neglect right now will have serious detriments to the child's future later on

After all, traditional casinos are starting to close and operations are limited during the lockdown, so it will be very strong to gamble at online casinos. Then there were more massive lockdowns in some countries, and many traditional casino workers experienced a decline in income.
What we can do is gamble in a closed place and avoid people including children under the age of 20 from imitating what adults do when gambling.

So how are you playing gambling? Did you play alone in your rooms or in your home or in the public area or do you have a special room just to spend your time to playing gambling?

Im a gambler who do play games online which is mostly done on dawn or going in past 12midnight which simply shows that there are no people who could see me on playing gambling and also
i dont like for me to be seen by my wife that im playing gambling but honestly i shouldnt really be afraid at all because it is really just for the sake of fun and not for income.

It is true that curiosity could really result into this on where people behind you or able to see you would really be giving out some influence and might cause up some curiosity
specially into your children which you should be careful or even with your family members if you arent married.

Be careful because this is indeed happening even though it is just on slightest chance of influencing other people.

Curiosity doesnt have limitations but if we are on the right mind and being aware towards our actions or getting some experience then it would really be depending neither you would stop or would tolerate
on what you had learned and this is where people do make their own fate in regarding into their actions that they had made since we know that not all would be having similar perception on things
specially on gambling because there would be people would be finding out for this thing to be interesting and what matter most is that they could make quick bucks.

[agg2702]

at least to be a gambler must also have ethics and norms, lest the people around us follow in the footsteps we do.
indeed there is nothing wrong with just playing but we don't know whether the people closest to us can be addicted or not and this is the worst thing.
at least don't show something about gambling to your closest people like your spouse and children even if you are a gambler.
and I personally do that, even though I seem to be egotistical in this case but I will protect my spouse and children from getting involved in gambling even though I am in it.

I'll suggest you pay attention to your writing as, it seems like a translated work or perhaps, a little review could help correct errors and make the write up a better read.

Well, I'll like to put out something, its never gambling until its bet upon. It mustn't be money or something of real value but, a challenge or a can do and can't do is all it takes. So, its just a game until the introduction of a stake. Many adults might see a youngster playing games that are often gambled upon and it amuses them should the youngster be getting a hang of it but, it actually instill courage in this youngster towards gambling.

So, it feels wrong to display certain habits that are not really uncounted or allow youngsters to play certain games, games that are being gambled upon.

how are you playing gambling? Did you play alone in your rooms or in your home or in the public area or do you have a special room just to spend your time to playing gambling?

I don't have a special room assigned for myself when I gamble but since I have small kids at home, I do gamble at late night after tiring shifts from the office and to ensure the kids are not disturbed, I gamble in a separate room which was at some my study room during my younger years.

I gamble alone and in a separate room not because I am addicted to gambling or am shameful about it (neither I am proud about it though) but because I understand that my gambling and entertainment means must not become a source of disturbance for others.

Hiding your addiction (if you are actually addicted to gambling) can be even more dangerous because at least people around you, can help you out if you are getting out of control.

The influence that others can do to those that are not yet gamblers is big. Just like me, if it's not with those people that I've used to watch play card games and with money on it, I won't be curious enough to learn what they're playing. Even if I'm just a kid watcher by that time, I've learned the mechanics of those card games that they've used to play and until I've learned other gambling games too. That's the sad part especially the kids that have been prone to those gamblers, they're likely to have the same experience as me and will grow up as a gambler and hopefully, they'll control themselves.

i guess a lot here have the same story as yours. at a young age, you will really get involve in gambling if people around you are in gambling. the most common game that we will see is this card game. as a kid, you will really get curious how things are working with them because some can sit for hours and hours just to satisfy their desires in gambling. so if you have kids at home, and you don't want them to try any gambling game yet, better start observing the routine of the adults, should not hold any card game or any type of gambling when they are around.

Yes, if you're in a community or neighborhood where it's mostly your relatives that are surrounding you. You'll have that time that you have to do what they also do because it is what you see everyday. That's why as a kid, you have no choice but to watch them since they're mostly doing that everyday. Even if your parents will advise you not to play that game, you'll still be able to watch and learn by just being a bystander whenever they play card games and other games that they gamble with on that place.

Its your money then no one would really be having the rights to stop you on what are the things you've been dealing with but somehow peoples views and perceptions do changes which this will really be affect you later on
because treatment or the way they do talk to you would surely be different once they do know that you do play gambling.

Being a gambler is somewhat being frowned upon on the society which is typically bullshit way of thinking which is totally not really that right at all and speaking if i do play when someones around or watching me

then of course, i do play no matter what time and where am i.Its none of their business if i do have the feeling  on liking to play.

Many of us are started gambling out of curiosity because we have seen it in our parents and friends but since we know now the harmful effects of gambling, we should play discreetly out of the eyes of our kids and those who should not be gambling like jobless people, there will be a right time for them to play but not when they are young, so yes I agree that we should not let our children see us gambling.

Even we don't want out children to saw us playing gambling, in the long run they'll found out that betting would be a form of entertainment while having chance of winning lucky profit. Eventually you'll be the one who used to influence them by means of role model to them. What I suggest here is to minimize those activities and educate them that this type of activity would not give us benefit in long term. Open them the potential effects of gambling, and don't hid what reality is.

Do came from you or not then it cant really be avoided since we are already in digital world and if you dont like your children to get involved with gambling then you should really avoid on letting them see on what
you've been doing but there are instances where they are really prone or expose to these things online and this is where parenting is important but talking for another people then it isnt really just their
business on what you would gonna do with your money because it is something that they dont own on what had been spent.
