Gambling by financial dependents.

Topic was about a 18+ person. He is no longer a child and most likely knows how tough it is to earn money. People should stop acting like «18+ is still a child». At that age people already have great plans for future, as it is time when many choose university to go to and the type of future they want.

Also in topic like, this, I have noticed that people keep on talking often about money. Money, money, money. Of course gambling is built on money, but some gamble for fun, some gamble without spending money. If we put aside money from gambling, then is it really that bad for young people?

He is not a child but I think his mind is not as mature as that of others and he would have no idea about earning money and could not understand the difficulties that comes in an earning way. Once a person start to earn then he can better understand that how difficult is to earn and then to handle all activities with limited amount.

People are talking about money because as far as I have an experience is that almost everyone is gambling just to earn money and if they were gambling for fun then they don't take loan for it and will not make gambling as a Burden for them.

This board is dedicated for gambling discussions that involves money and not the other gambling type that you are describing which is “gambling without spending money”. I’m curious if you can give an example about gambling that doesn’t involve money that is still on topic on this board?

It’s obvious that user here will always incorporate money on gambling because money is the only way you can gamble in the casino. Without money, you are just simply playing games since it doesn’t contains risk or simply you didn’t gamble.

Every boy has to grow up to be a man and that involves making mistakes, gambling and all those risky stuff it's what we youth do, it's how we relate to life.

If you observed that he us a responsible young boy then I guess your job should be to advice him not to get addicted to gambling, do it does ruin him at a young age, even better teach him a thigm or two about how to make sure he is on the right part cause from experience you would have little result talking him out of it, so it's better you show him a better way.

Gamble for fun in your spare time, not as a money-maker. Really smart. Without expectations, you can enjoy life. This is about living fully within your means, not winning or losing. The issue at hand. I know how to make money, therefore gambling wont get you rich. Nothing more than relaxation. Knowing this puts you ahead. Key? Control. You must have. You're setting yourself up for a fall without control, and nobody wants to be there.

Be moderate - moderation is key. It controls spending and ensures you dont get caught up. What about addiction? Avoid that road. Really challenging. However, setting limitations protects you from regret and lets you enjoy your leisure time. This is a life lesson, not just gambling. Be strategic, in control, and long-term.

Instead of gambling for fun, it actually becomes a serious problem where they gamble too much, including having inappropriate expectations. Gambling must be done with good awareness, don't gamble without awareness so that you can consider gambling as a sure source of money. I think we all know how to make money in a good and correct way, not by gambling, because gambling is likely to result in defeat.

with those who have too much hope in gambling and respond incorrectly to gambling, they tend to become addicted and get stuck in that cycle, I agree with you, maybe moderation is the key, also with spending we have to pay attention so as not to get us trapped in an addiction that is difficult to cure. because when you are addicted, it will most likely only make the situation worse, the chance of improving the situation is very slim, and can almost be said to be non-existent. In my opinion, if we do gamble then we must be able to set limits on the gambling we do, the aim is to ensure that gambling is not done excessively, because if gambling is done excessively then what will happen is problems, even if you win, you will be addicted. gambling on the possibility that the winnings that have been obtained could be lost again.

There's more to gambling than meets the eye; it's a psychological battlefield. The idea? Easy: be mindful when gambling. The execution? Very little. Why? Because you will lose more than just money and perspective the moment you start viewing gambling as a source of income. The harsh reality is that gambling is a trap for failure masquerading as a haven for easy money

If you can't recognize when to stop, then addiction isn't just a possibility; it's a destination. Being moderate is like having a full lock, door, and home all rolled into one. Limiting scope? That's not advice; that's need for staying alive. If you can't collect your winnings, it doesn't matter how big the jackpot is. Why? Why? Because the never-ending loop of winning, losing, and repeating is a trap that leads to disappointment after promising excitement

[Dewi Aries]

Yes I agree with your idea that indeed gambling is nothing more than an activity to have fun when you have boring free time without putting any hopes or expectations, but what is unfortunate is that only a small percentage of people understand this, in my opinion it happens because from the beginning they only focus or focus too much on the "chances of winning" which is actually not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, they try to use gambling to change their fate instantly or that means they think that gambling is a way to get rich quickly.

One of the things that makes me unable to make gambling a place to earn is because after all there is absolutely no certainty in producing wins because everything goes randomly, I'm not saying that you won't be able to win but what must be remembered is that because there is no certainty that can guarantee you to win, it means that all wins will only occur by "chance" and also means that there is absolutely no element of consistency in it while on the other hand the possibility of losing always lurks you whenever you gamble. Therefore, I do not understand the mindset of people who try to make gambling a place to earn, and it has been proven as you said that there have been many incidents that we can make examples and lessons that such people end up with a lot of downturns, so instead of earning but in the end they suffer a lot of losses, this must be understood and do not let you go down the wrong path and belief in gambling.

When someone can used gambling to have fun in his free time and don't have expectations anything about winning on gambling, he will not have to gets trouble because he knows that gambling is not a way to make money. He will not playing gambling using too much money, and not too focus to win on the gambling games because he knows that's difficult. He just wants to spends his free time in his daily activities and will stops before his free time is ends. He will playing gambling easily and not thinks about the winning or losing because he realizes that gambling have that two outcomes.

We can't make gambling as a place to earn because gambling itself is not like that and only a ways to have fun in our spare time. And if someone trying to used that as a way to make money, he will needs to be ready to see a losses that can increased anytime because that can cause him getting lose much money. Playing gambling needs to moderately so we don't have to gets any problems because many people already have it and they are difficult to solve. Many people getting addicted to gambling because they used gambling excessively without control their gambling activity so that makes them used too much money and the worst is they becomes addicted to gambling. We must prevents that happens to us by always limiting ourselves when playing gambling so we knows how long we can playing gambling and not using much money like other people.

Well that's the point, as you said that when a person does not put any seriousness and purpose other than fun in gambling then most likely he will not have too much trouble especially in his financial situation, I'm not saying that this type of gambler will not lose but by having a non-exaggerated approach then this will be able to help them to avoid various bad possibilities such as losing large amounts of money or addiction, because their goal is just to seek pleasure in the midst of boring leisure time that they have so winning or losing doesn't matter and they will definitely be able to stop even if they basically lose.

Yes as I said earlier that one of the reasons why gambling cannot be used as a means of making a living is because there is absolutely no certainty for anyone to actually always produce a win at the end of the session, everything always comes suddenly or happens by chance without you knowing what causes you to get a win. So this is clearly the reason why we should not put the intention and goal to produce because it is clear that as experienced by gambling addicts that they experience a lot of problems and downturns due to such goals. I'm sure that no one wants to end up having a lot of problems in their life and that clearly means that you need to be able to control and treat gambling the way it's advised as you said which is to put limits on everything such as limiting the amount of budget, the time of involvement and also the expectations in mind.

I just noticed this a few days ago one of my siblings has been a bad addicted gambler, and I have to come back here to discuss it because it’s similar to this topic he have a bit of stealing and gambling at the same time and my parents has been worried about what is going on on his life. He is not concentrating in his studies at school every time he’s talking about making money making money and one day I ask him this money you are talking about what is your plan on making this money he said he have a game and he starts to even convince me to give him some money to play the game by the time I took my time and investigate. I find out that this guy is so much gambling and it has been a problem to my family.

What about play money? Or use "a wish" as an equivalent of money ? Btw, everyone use gambling unconsciously with kids, when they challenge them in something. For example, parents often do like this "beat me in X, and I will buy you a toy. but if you lose, you will have to wash dishes". This is gambling+motivation and there are no money involved. An on the other hand such people later claim that "they will never show kids gambling, never gamble in front of them, never teach them how to gamble".

Having known that he is an addicted gambler you have to help him heal. If your parents will react negatively to this then you can keep it a secret and then give him a proper guideline as the eldest to enable him to escape this addiction. If he is not given the necessary support he will continue and might start doing worse things to feed his gambling urge. Begin by telling him the implications of gambling addiction. Then, threaten him that you will get him arrested if you see him gambling. Since he is still young this can frighten him.

When I was growing up my dad would always instruct me never to play football because my elder brother dislocated his leg when he was playing football with friends and so my dad hated seeing us playing football. When he tried to stop us and it wasn’t working, he started issuing threats and it worked out since we became afraid and then stopped. I think you can adopt this strategy. In addition, deactivate his online account, reduce his upkeep money and also go to the betting shops where he gambles and tell them never to allow him to gamble. This pause can help him regain his sanity.

I agree with that, when gambling is seen as a source of income then it is likely that we will lose more than money, the idea of being able to earn money easily in gambling is a trap for many people, but this is also because each individual's thinking is wrong in interpreting gambling, they have been deceived by the fact that it is easy to win at gambling. There are also quite a few cases of gambling which is seen as the main income but ends in disappointment and big losses. In fact, the loss is more than money.

At first they gambled perhaps for fun or excitement, but in the end they became addicted to gambling and this actually made them experience losses themselves financially or otherwise. It's true what you said, endless defeat is a trap, after that happens we have to be aware so we can get out of it, because it's impossible to continue being in that detrimental cycle of addiction, we certainly want our finances to improve but not by how to gamble.

Your family needs to make an effort to get your sibling away from gambling as soon as possible, as the longer the period of time a person remains addicted, the more difficult it is for that person to improve their condition, it seems your sibling has the mistaken notion he can make money by gambling, so try to show him this is not the case, but be very careful, as at that stage it is not rare for him to believe he is in complete control and he can stop gambling whenever he wants, so he may take offense because of your advice.

However, setting limitations protects you from regret and lets you enjoy your leisure time. This is a life lesson, not just gambling. Be strategic, in control, and long-term.

Yes, that's right because gambling is not a money-maker. Many people knows that but many people still trying to makes money from gambling. If they can realizes that playing gambling will not gives them much money, they will not trying hard playing gambling. They will not used much money to gambling and always limits their money to avoids big lose. Playing gambling is just for fun so they knows that makes money from gambling is difficult and will not trying.

If they can playing gambling moderately, they will not have a problems because they will not spends too much money. They will remember their reason playing gambling and will not breaks their rules or even using much money. They thinks that win money from gambling is just a bonus so they will not trying to make money. They will let the luck comes to them and just thinks about the having fun. It will helps them enjoying playing gambling in their spare time.

Well that's the point, as you said that when a person does not put any seriousness and purpose other than fun in gambling then most likely he will not have too much trouble especially in his financial situation, I'm not saying that this type of gambler will not lose but by having a non-exaggerated approach then this will be able to help them to avoid various bad possibilities such as losing large amounts of money or addiction, because their goal is just to seek pleasure in the midst of boring leisure time that they have so winning or losing doesn't matter and they will definitely be able to stop even if they basically lose.

When someone playing gambling for fun and not too serious, they will have a chance to enjoy their spare time because they don't thinks about making money from gambling. They will knows that is not easy to make money from gambling so they will not decide to used much money to playing gambling as that can makes them losing much money. They will prefer to playing gambling moderately and limiting their money to avoids the big lose. They wants to prevents the bad things that can happens after they ends their gambling activity because they knows that can attracts their minds to thinks about their lose. If they can prevents the bad things that can happens, they will playing gambling responsible and will not lets them in a big risks.

That's why gambling can't be used as a source of income and only for having fun with some money. If many people knows about this, they will have a chance to avoids the bad things such as losing much money because they will not wants to gets trouble. We must knows what's the reason we playing gambling so we don't have a goals to make money from gambling, especially we already see many people failed to make money from gambling. They only gets lose their money without having a chance to make money from gambling. It's why they must prevents the big lose by using enough money to playing gambling because gambling is not gives a big chance to make money. The important thing from this is how we can limiting the amount of budget so we don't lose the big lose.

They say  "we learned the hard way".. this is what addiction is all about. When we are too persistent to gamble because we thought we had the formula to win but failed to evaluate if our strategy is working, then that's obviously being one sided and we will never know that we are addicted. That's why I say we learned the hard way because some people does not listen from the advise of their family and they still keep going, however, the moment they'll lose everything, that's when they realize they already ****** up... That's just life man, some figure out early, some late.

I agree with you if you explain it in the right way he will definitely understand everything. If you insist on him the situation may become worse in which case you have to explain the bad side nicely. Creating awareness in this regard applies to the addict as well as to others in society. Learn about Addictions A person is addicted to something it is also necessary to know its harmful aspects. It is also important to know that any type of addiction is a mental problem or disease.

A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?

Some financially dependent persons are not addicts , most of them that I have seen are wise and they are doing well for themselves when it comes to gambling .peer group influence might be one of the factors that can influence a financially dependent person to gamble , ordinatily some of them use the opportunity to steal money from their parents or guardian So as To Gamble with their Peer groups But the wise ones might use their little savings To try luck And To know If luck will shine on them.

I have seen financially dependient Person who gamblesfrom his little pocket money while we were in School And fortunately for him luck shined on him And he won a huge amount of money And invested it wisely And that changed the situation of his parents .however, wether financially dependent or not If you are wise definitely you are wise But If you are not wise people around you might influennce your decision more about gambling .

Gambling in front of children is really bad. After growing up the bad tendency of gambling will fall into them. If the environment is bad the family does not have to do anything for the development of the children. But with good environment comes bad environment. Not all environments are the same Children need to be engaged in natural environments to keep them away from gambling tendencies.

We have the influence that we need and letting our guards down will not favour anyone of us. We have children, we should give them the best care and treatment and not treat them as if they're mature, when we talk about mature it simply means showing them the basic necessities of life and struggle. Never raise up a child in such an unconducive environment where gambling is daily routine. We know how fast and adaptable children can be, they learn with the slightest chance they're seen.

That's true mate. Kids are so impressionable and very inquisitive too. They have this inquisitive nature that drives their curiosity about things around them, so it's our responsibilities as adults or parents to guide their curiosity and protect them from unhealthy influences because they learn pretty fast and if not well nurtured or guided, they might get the wrong impression of things and their curiosity will surely drive them to want to try it out, especially things that they shouldn't be doing. Gambling isn't an activity for children and it'll be very harmful if a child begins to have an insight about gambling and start practicing the activity. It's not just about the financial harm it can cause to them but because of the addictive nature of gambling, gambling can be very addictive, even difficult for some adults to break from. So whatever we do we should try our best to raise our kids and the kids around us in a way that they'll not be exposed to things that are as harmful as gambling.

She also fears that her son might start stealing from her if he doesn't have access to the money he needs to play.

The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother insists that he stop doing it. What advice do you have for this boy?

If a person is a dependent and lives on the money of his parents, then he is unlikely to gamble. It is clear that he does not steal this money, but asks his mother. It is also clear that he plays with his savings, but from the outside it looks like his parents give him money to pay for necessary expenses, and he spends it on the game. As a last resort, you should not talk about it, especially if the person is a responsible player. Being responsible is good and it prevents many risks. But it’s better to wait until you earn enough yourself and then play.

If a boy below 18 years of age who has no income gets involved in gambling and after getting involved he becomes addicted to gambling then when he cannot manage money for gambling but he can go in wrong direction to manage money. We see many drug addicted boys and girls who, if they don't get money for drugs, misbehave with family members and commit various misdeeds. A boy under the age of 18 who is involved in gambling must be brought out of gambling addiction and the family must supervise the matter so that the boy does not become addicted to gambling. Because it will not be good for the family if the boy gets addicted to gambling and he can definitely commit such misdeeds.

It is very difficult to prevent young children from gambling in Burdwan. That's because the smartphone is going very easily in their hands, which is becoming very difficult to control. If kids are not controlled from smart phones they are getting involved in gambling at a very young age and very well become addicted. Due to which children should play a controlling role in the use of smartphones.

[Mia Chloe]

It is very difficult to prevent young children from gambling in Burdwan. That's because the smartphone is going very easily in their hands, which is becoming very difficult to control. If kids are not controlled from smart phones they are getting involved in gambling at a very young age and very well become addicted. Due to which children should play a controlling role in the use of smartphones.

In my opinion it isn't. If you should agree with me , logically a kid is some who isn't up to the age of 18 and therefore can't be trusted to make proper decisions for themselves and therefore need guidance. Some people will even argue that an individual up to 18 years of age is still a kid. The entire idea is mainly the ability to make mature decisions. Therefore parents are the ones responsible for kids who gamble at a very early age this is because they should be the ones guiding them and if they fail to do so the kids may fall into wrong decision making based on their sorrounding environment and peers.
