Teaching your kids to gamble.

[Ryker1]

Parents? They are responsible but most kids are learning gambling from the internet not from their parents so the growth of technology has to be blamed if we want to blame something. But as a parent it is important to talk about money to our kids and importance of managing it then these teens will know how much to spend because its not going to be their money on most cases.

Well that is right --parents will not teach their kids how to gamble, that is just because kids are very aggressive and curious about gambling so they are looking for ways how to learn it and perhaps they will become under influence with someone else around them. These days people are prone to the internet many of them have their own internet at home so that is possible that through the internet source some kids learn how to gamble. We have a lot of streamers out there that are where they can learn. So that parents should always be responsible for what their kids do and not involve in that early stage of gambling.

There is the case of increasing number of underaged gamblers, will you still teach your little kids to gamble?

The answer will be "no" for most users, but truth is that in reality, most parents who gamble teach their kids indirectly to gamble without knowing, how?

for Sports betting - You indirectly teach your kids to gamble when you leave open your online betting slips, and drop carelessly within the reach of the underaged your offline slip if you didn't bet online. Kids are very inquisitive and take cue from their parents and guardians easily.

You indirectly teach the underaged to gamble when you speak freely and excitedly about how you their parent or guardian placed some bets, visited a casino to have some fun and so on. (be careful what you say around the underaged, they learn quickly especially from someone they look up to.
 
You also contribute to the increasing cases of gambling when you hide answers about gambling from the underaged when asked. If your kids or any underaged around you becomes too curious about gambling, educate them and let them know the perils of underaged gambling and why it is for adults, answer their questions and clear their doubts, so they don't go find out about gambling themselves.

kindly bring to our notice other ways user's have unknowingly contributed to the increasing number of underaged gambling, so we can take corrections and make amends where necessary.

I will definitely tell my children about gambling.  They should be aware of this and not make mistakes. 

I will tell them about the Russian writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.  He wrote wonderful psychological novels.  Publishers paid him handsomely for his work.  However, he could not use the received royalties.  He lived in poverty.  He had huge debts.  Creditors threatened him with death. 

Unfortunately, Fyodor Mikhailovich suffered from gambling addiction...

He lost all the money he earned at roulette. 

About this he wrote a wonderful novel "The Gambler".

That is a nice strategy, by teaching them by way of historical examples kids can more easily learn the pitfalls they need to avoid once they grow and they decide to gamble on their own, after all it is known that people do not really respond really well to pure data and statistics and instead learn a lot more when they hear specific stories about the events that happened to a person on particular, so this seems like the optimal strategy to teach them about some of the dangers of gambling addiction.

My father was a big gambler and was quite good at it. I don’t know how much sports gambling he did, if any, but I know he loved cards and made a visit to Vegas at least once a year.  He taught me how to play gambling type games but never taught me about the gambling aspect of it.  My father preached having good strong morals and being a good kid. As with anything else (smoking / drinking etc) he simply said you can do so when you’re of age. I think that was a pretty good way to approach it.

Kids are naturally curious on things which gambling wont really be an exemption thats why as a parent then you should really be responsible on guiding your child as best as possible.
No parent would really be teaching off their kids on things which could really put them on harm but not all parents would really be like that though yet there are some who doesnt really care
and this would really reflect out on what kind of parent you are but there are situations which cant really be avoided that your children would really be exposed
on bad things which you couldnt able to handle or been aware off.

Regardless of these, those kids will still eventually learn to gamble. Even in a family where no gambler on board, there are still lots of ways why those kids will be exposed to gambling in the future.

Actually, we should not make this a big deal and just trust our kids not to be truly addicted. There are kids or young ones who are exposed to their friends that gamble too much but they are not affected and following the same. If really concerned, have a good talk with our kids, like during lunch, dinner, etc., and educate them about gambling especially the risks. We can also share our worst experiences for them to picture out the possible scenarios.

That's awesome, my parents haven't used to it and if they've used to it now I could've got an opportunity to share when I experience losses. This gives peace of mind.

My father too gave me the same piece of advice, he's no more. He used to drink and smoke, and when I restrict him he used to say you too can do it and you should know your limits. In one way it looks like allowing kids to experiment everything, but initially there mind need to be prepared for win and loss. Because every kid won't consider a loss as fun, soon after the loss mind think about different things.

Kids tends to learn faster by observation. Educating them on the risk involved in gambling at early age might save them the chances of taking unnecessary risk in the future. We leave in a global society where exposure and information dwell on the shores of our own disposal. Even if parents hide their gambling adventure from their kids definitely they will learn from their peers who might have learnt it from else where so information will keep circulating. Going down to earth with educating those kids will go a long way to save some addiction in the future

I suppose to teach my kids but as they are not yet interested in this, that never makes sense. I think there is an appropriate time when to tell and teach our kids and it was more advantageous when their minds are old enough to carry responsibility as gambling won't fit anyone. And I just let their time focus on their studies coz we don't know if they can handle their emotions and might fall into addiction once they know it. That is the thing I've worried about.

Dont need to tell because they would really engage with that if they would get interested or curious about it but its not really necessary for you to teach them about it but it wont really
be bad if you do let them aware on how things do work and how reality do works and if on the time that your children is engaging with gambling then its better to make
them realize that engaging with it would really be needing some good control and be aware about addiction because this would really
cause lots of problems.

I agree, no matter what the parents will do, their kids will eventually find its way to gamble. The best choice as a parent is to educate your child about gamble and what are the cause and effect if they do engage this kind of game in the long run. Kids brain are still developing so they always wanted to try something that they never did. I think it's best also if you avoid them from seeing those gambling games and teach them in the right time. Fill their time with games or learning something useful in the future then teach them later about the games that has some consequences.

For now, I think the best way is not to let them see that you are gambling or any activities related to gambling games. Because it will stick to their minds that you are playing those games and later on, if in case, they will encounter it, they will realize that you are gambling. So as much as possible don't let them see any gambling activities if you don't want them to be in this industry. We know that at some point, they will encounter gambling but if they haven't seen you gamble, they may think about it. As they mature, they will understand the real consequences of being in the gambling industry. At a young age, would be hard for them to grasp the importance of what you are saying.

There is the case of an increasing number of underaged gamblers, will you still teach your little kids to gamble?

This is a common issue here in my place too. Cause parents allow their kids to play gambling. 9-15 years old here in my place starting entering the world of gambling even though it's a small number of bets but I think that if he time will come and then they are getting an old man for sure they will bets a big amount.
I think all these kinds of issues start with their parents cause kids did not do some things if they didn't see their parents or other older people doing gambling. Must be better if parents must be strict to their children especially in terms of gadgets cause nowadays many online gambling sites.

Well thanks for sharing as this would bring more help from our part towards other gamblers that don't know how they are luring their youngsters to gamble either now at their young ages or in future when they are in right ages.
yet this is gambling that must be considered as delicate for people who does not know how to treat gambling correctly .
gambling will be a best way to enjoy our day but this is also very risky if treated wrongly so lets help each other and also our love ones .

As kids are learning gambling practices from another sources of informations, I think it's an extra reason for parents to present this subject to their children faster, because the alternative of not introducing gambling to underage people doesn't exist nowadays with wide access to the internet by almost everyone. It's not a matter of if, but of when.

Here in my country, although gambling is illegal, some TV channels display gambling propagandas (especially 1xbet), where poor people from the slums suddenly earn insane amounts of money by betting at the platform. The idea of the marketing is always the same, although they change some details to make it more interesting and less repetitive. Without any doubts it's a big risk for young people from these areas to watch such ads without their parents around to explain what they see on the television doesn't represent the reality.

will you still teach your little kids to gamble?

I don't think parents teach about how to gamble but rather what gambling is, but usually this can only be done by parents who are able to explain well to their children most would prefer to hide it. Parents should tell their child about gambling and all the consequences of gambling.
With internet era where all information is easy to get as long as connected to the internet, will be very good to give knowledge about gambling so that children can be more responsible with all the activities they do including gambling if they are interested in doing so.

Yes, I agree. Rather than teaching kids to gamble, teach them about gambling. There is a big difference there. Teaching kids to gamble is bad. Teaching or educating them about gambling is good. With the internet being very open even to minors or young kids, it is proper for parents to enlighten them about gambling, what it is, what are the pros and cons of gambling, why it is bad for underage kids, why it should be avoided even by adults, etc.

I think it's not that parents allow it per se, but rather kids at those age range are able to access information that they aren't supposed to be able to access. The internet is free, it's there, just give them internet access and they'd be able to get info on a LOT of stuff, gambling included, so it isn't really that odd as to why they know about some stuff about it. I'm just glad how valid ID's are given only at around 16 to 18 and above, cause really, if it was given at a younger age, you'd probably be able to see what some kids can do with it.

It is responsible for every parent always to watch out and take care of their children, not to do something that can ruin their lives in the future.
It is not easy as the era has already changed and not be the same as our era before but we must do that if we do not want our kids to lose their hope to have a better life because of gambling addiction.
I think it is already happening in many places as many parents are busy with their works while their moms are also busy playing with their gadgets and their kids do not get their attention while parents think that if they fill what they need, it is enough for their kids.
So it is better if we do not teach them about gambling but we should monitor everything they do so they do not go to the wrong things.

[Xinarae*]

Agree because the tendency of children to gamble increases from their parents they will be attracted to what they will see when they grow up. Gambling has ruined the lives of many families and people gambling hinders children from growing up there are many families who are busy with their own affairs and do not pay any attention to the children that's why in the age of technology, through the internet they are involved in various bad deeds along with gambling. Gambling addiction has increased that's why parents need to be strict and spend more time with them.

[Apes]

It's true that the era of underage gamblers is booming now, disgusting when I see my younger brother currently gambles the lottery every day,
the goal is just to make extra money from passive income I tried to stop him and even by my parents but he didn't care.
this is a big problem when a underage gambles, there should be an age limit that prohibits him from accessing gambling sites. and I think now he is already addicted it will be even more difficult to prohibit in the future.
