[ADVICE]Boy Wins $46k from Sports Bet but Can't Tell Strict Religious Parents...

[YOSHIE]

What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?

I think that child already understands his family situation, of course he knows what is good and bad when he wins gambling, he definitely understands his family situation.

But if something like that happens to me, of course I choose to be silent for a while, instead of having to rush to tell my parents where the money came from, there are actually many choices that a child can make with winning gambling money, so that his parents do not scold and suspect, because he is unemployed.
For example: online gambling is currently very secret, only we know the wins and losses, except: we are too overwhelmed with wins.

I think that the child can just take the money and go to the bank or investment, there is no need to take large amounts of winning money, he can take what he needs for himself, after that he could go out of the area for a while to dispel his parents' suspicions, that way it would be better, if one day he wanted to give the money to his parents, obviously they would think that the money came from his job. wandering, not from gambling.

One such topic several months ago stated that the son had won Hughes amount of bets from gambling but his father, being religious, had to return the gambling money to the casino authorities. Although his family is not very well-off, his father out of religious sentiments has banned gambling and forced him to return his gambling winnings to the authorities.
The exact same thing happened to you, except the son won $46k on the bet but didn't tell his parents until now. There is a kind of fear operating in his mind that if his parents are informed and if his parents do not allow him to spend his gambling winnings for the family then the boy will face a big loss. According to me the son should inform his parents about this. If his parents allow him to spend money for the family then where is the problem?  And if Nao allows to spend, then his parents must be informed about this.

I agree he should keep it in bank, or maybe he could say it to his parents little by little . Until they will accept what happen, I am sure even though they are religious they will forgive their child, it is not good for them to have a bad feelings or to get mad to their child and not forgive him. I am sure that he also wanted to help his parents and that could be an answer to that thing.

The thing about a "Lie" is this.... it takes a while, but the truth eventually catch up to you. I think he should just withdraw the money and donate it to his church or to some good cause. He should then stop gambling to prevent such things in the future..... because he should not have to feel guilty about the money that he won through gambling.

A lot of people will continue gambling and eventually lose all of that money or they will develop a gambling addiction and then his parents will be even more disappointed.

Someone recently won $46,606 from making a correct prediction on one of the matches in the on-going 2023 FIFA Women World Cup competition from his wager of $10 on a sports betting website. The person is unemployed and within the ages of 20 - 23. He lives with his parents who are strict religious people that frown on gambling and other youthful vices. His parents are certainly not going to be happy that their son engages in gambling despite winning such huge amount of money. He doesn't want them to be upset with him. He says he's going to keep it a secret. I disagreed with him because despite having strict parents, they are going to be mad at him for a little while but I don't think they'll tell him to return the money. What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?

It is a good question. I have heard similar story in my country that the parents asked the boy to return win back the the company and since it was not from my community, I didn't know how the matter was resolved. But in such situation, I advise the boy to invest the money in bitcoin. He should open Electrum Wallet and go to exchange or any other platform that sell bitcoin and buy them then transfer them to the Electrum wallet. And from there too he can be selling little by little to pay some bills.

If it were me, of course I would be honest, even so, I would not lie to my parents, even though in the end they would be disappointed and scold me. At least the money can be used for something good, for example invested in a business or donated so that it can be useful in the future , no matter how bitter we are going to receive, it is better to be honest with our parents.

I also have parents who are religious, of course they will beat me and scold me if I have to be honest with them, after all, it doesn't hurt to tell everything to our parents, because we don't know the results of their reactions to the gambling we play and happen to win money. big, believe that being honest and open will make your parents appreciate your honesty more

He won't give all the money to the church and I don't know of how many people that will give all to the church likewise. I know people build churches and donate to them in different ways but they are people who are already made and this guy is just being lucky and it might be the only time he will get that lucky. If he wants to give to the church, he can remit 10% of the money to the church that is $4,600. He needs to manage his way through the money despite the way his parents will feel but they will come around later.

Is telling his parents going to do him any good? Will the money be safe with 2 more people knowing that you had less than 50 thousand bucks sitting inside the house? Are the parent's trustworthy, given the fact that they'd much rather let the kids keep secrets instead of being upfront with them cause of these stupid consequences? If the answer is no to one or more of these then I suggest he keep his money to himself and invest it for his future when he finally move out. They say blood is thicker than water but if that's the case then it's much easier to drown in blood than in water, and if I were to be given the choice between the two I'd much rather drown in the latter. I feel like I'm going on a tangent here but all I'm saying is, not everything must be revealed or told to your parents especially if it only concerns you and not them.

Friend, donate them to church, if you are very religious, or just invest in your home.

 This is not the subject of this board, in my opinion, it could talk about banking management, etc.  But at the family level, what can be done?  Only each individual knows that, family or religious problems should not influence before or after, because obviously you do it before the result.

 And there is the problem, your dilemma must have occurred before, in any case, as I said, it seems to me like a story you are making up, but if it is not like that, that is my procedure anyway.

Take the profit and spend it wisely, you don’t have to tell the whole world about this and if your parents are strict about it, just keep it a secret and stop gambling now especially that you won already. Religion are very strict when it comes to gambling and you should respect and follow that. Guilt may be there but at least you have the money where you can use to help your community and your family as well, just have a decent job and for sure they will not ask about your money.

If i were on such condition then i would definitely be hiding those winnings knowing that your parents are really that seriously doesnt allow for you to deal up with gambling on which it would be normal that they might be

asking out on giving back those winnings but its true that its unlikely that they would really be asking out such thing knowing that this isnt something a small amount that would be given back but we cant really tell out because there are parents who do really stick into their principle on which means that on the time that they would really be able to know on whats the source of those money then for sure we cant really be able to conclude
that it would really be given back or would be kept out.

If we're that kid or person then i would simply be investing those amounts for me to be able to take advantage and wont really be that totally a burden to my parents since you could be able to make
income or profits because you do already have the capital if you are intending to have some business online or whatever plans you would be having.
Its a matter of choice because if you are a person who dont like on lying on your parents then you would really be honestly be telling it no matter what the condition.

This sound so good to be true, $10 is too small to win $46,606 amount, how did he amount odds in that manner because if my calculations are right, he need 4,000+ odds to actually win that amount, that's like $10 x 4660.6 odds to get that amount he won and I'm wondering if there is other options in female world cup that is capable of accumulating to this number of odds, not to say how he is going to explain to the parent how he won that amount, evidence is needed to convince even parent that add not religious believers.

If he provide evidence of winning to the parent and they rejected the money, the player should not force the parent into accepting the money but that will be a delusional thing to do, that's a huge amount of money to free off the house debts and pay a couple of bills. I believe he is an adult from the age you described, he should keep the money to himself and pay school fees and other important something money can do for him, this is 21st century.

If thats a win from casino games it is possible. How such a big win happened with sports betting and there is no source from which the information is collected. In our forum already similar news about a guy from Nigeria winning big money out of very small bet was discussed. It was the same, the boy's father is religious and he made the boy return the winning amount to the betting company. Maybe the same incident is reiterated in different form.

19-Year-Old Boy Wins ₵10 to win ₵900k, His Father Asks Him to Return Money: "I Don't Like Sports Betting"

[danherbias07]

20-23 years old, unemployed, and still living with the parents. Not a good combination.

I won't tell my parents if I am in his position. They actually won't care if you won or not, all they want is you outside of the house, making money for yourself, and who knows maybe get lucky and find a girl.
So use that money to find a job and maybe in 3 to 4 months, get the fuck out of the house and make your parents happy by being responsible for yourself. They've done their job and you are of legal age so stop relying on them for your everyday needs.
They pay our bills, they pay everything actually as long as we are with them. A big win in gambling doesn't mean that money will last forever unlike having a decent job with decent pay, it's the real investment.

[Cryptomultiplier]

If the boy can't tell his strict religious parents, the question I have for him is, what made him bet in the first place. He must have known how strict his parents are and still don't give a damn.
It is his lucky break. Let him re-invest some part of the fund in cryptocurrency HODLing for future purpose, that's if he knows what cryptocurrency is.
Also, moving out of the house is a good step but trying to explain how he got the funds to afford his own place is going to be an issue unless he moves in with a friend who is working at a 9-5 job while claiming he is squating and looking for a job himself.

I would incline myself for the first option and buy and Hold BTC in the long run.
Though, depending on where the guy is from, he could also try his luck with stocks, assuming he is old enough to have a glance on the way markets work.

This story also sounds rather strange to me, because in most cases, strict religious parents would teach their children from the beginning on avoiding things which go against their belief, he could have been peer pressured into it, though.

[harizen]

What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?

I don't think we can have a good answer here since we don't know the actual feeling being in that boy's situation.

First of all, that boy knows his own family more than us and he surely knows what's the best thing to do compared to us. If he wants to keep it secret then it's none of our business anymore to contradict or be against it since again as I mentioned, he knows his family more than us.

Just trust that boy as I'm sure he knows what's the best approach. He is building experience after all.

There is nothing wrong in sharing the joy with and winnings with the parents.  I would definitely tell my parents about the wins since it does not affect me negatively and at the same time that I will apologize and make a promise that  I will avoid gambling to the best of my ability to make the minds of my parents at peace.  I will accept any scolding or punishment my parents will give me since I am sure that they won't kill me for gambling.  Besides I am already at the legal age and can decide on things I wanted to do.  Though promising them about avoiding gambling is for the respect and assurance that I am still heading their advice.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Not everything is fiction my friends. I know it sounds too good to be true Because you haven't seen it happen. Still , it doesn't mean cancel the fact that other people have seen or experienced it. I won't try to convince anyone or show receipts of our conversation. For people asking about the religion of the boy's parents,it is Christianity.
Just to add that the $46k has been converted to dollars. In his local currency, it is around 20million.

Each has its own price. "What money can't buy can be bought with a lot of money."
I'm sure the OP's case is exactly that. Yes, religion forbids this and that, but we are humans, and we are all sinners. And so the temptation of such money will find an excuse for the guy. You can imagine winning from several positions. The guy did not steal this money; he was lucky, and if you start from the foundations of religion, then nothing in this world happens without the blessing of God. That is, winning is precisely a gift, and refusing it will be a denial of a gift from the Higher Forces.
I don't think there are any parents in the world who, because of religion, would wish their son a worse life than it could be with this money.
Well, if there are such fathers, then I feel very sorry for their children.

20-23 years old, unemployed, and still living with the parents. Not a good combination.

In every country it is different, if in Asia maybe aged 20-23 years most of them still live with their parents whereas outside Asia I think they have been taught to be independent from an early age so that at that age parents want their children to go out of the house and look for their own life or find a side job to make a living instead of living with parents and still bothering parents.

I also think that if a child tells the truth maybe it won't make his parents angry, besides, parents who are religiously devout will also understand and have experienced their youth so they need to be introduced to religion and still make mistakes, that's only natural, so I don't think there is anything problem as long as it's honest and I'm sure the child's parents won't scold him. it's true 20 - 23 years old unemployed and living with parents is not a good combination.
