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?
Most gamblers hardly admit that they are gambling the wrong or they are gambling addict . Well the stealing he might be saying the truth but we can't still tell. But concerning the responsible gambling and stuff , is hard to believe. Though he may be gambling responsible due to the fact that he should started, but one thing about addict , is something that grows with time. Like he have Started with the right mindset of gambling for fun and to make extra bucks, but he will get to point were all he about is how to hit the jackpot quick or how to get rich quick with gambling.
Especially when he don't have someone to guide him , I'm speaking base on experience, I knew of someone that started gambling with the right mindset of gambling wisely, but as time goes he mind became clouded with greed in gambling which lead to being a gambling addict for sometime, but was able to get his self back after losing a certain huge amount of money that literally got him reckt. Just tell your nephew that he should be careful of the way he approach gambling, because gambling can either help ones lives or ruin it .
The longer duration that you would really be that dealing with gambling with, then the more chances or possibility that you would really be finding yourself that being addicted into it and this is something that
you must trying out to see or look upon on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling. Never ever make yourself that easily get addicted with gambling. Its not really that bad to gamble
as long you do make yourself that being responsible on the actions that you are taking, then there's no way that you could really be falling out on such possible problem in the future. It would really be just that
up to you on how you would really be gonna handling out yourself because on the moment that you do already make yourself having that kind of hopes on getting rich then this is where issues would really be happening like on gambling addiction.
