Will you gamble till old age or not

[Ruttoshi]

I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.

There are so many of us that are responsible gamblers and we only gamble to entertain ourselves not for making profit. Since gambling is done for fun, it becomes part of us, this is because we enjoy the fun, and some persons uses it to relieve them after a long day stress at work. We always assign some portion of our income for our gambling activities because it has become a habit in us. I know that some of us hasn't thought of quitting gambling because we are responsible gamblers.

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention measures to addiction.

I will answer first.
I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.

Actually, I don't plan to gamble at all, if I feel I want to then I will whether it's 30 or 60 as far as I can afford to gamble. I have no idea how my old age will be, and thinking about gambling at that time wasn't even in my teeny-tiny thoughts.

Don't bother yourself with such deep thoughts now which you can figure it out at that time depending on how you want it to be.

[bitbollo]

If you play for fun or as a hobby I don't think there is an age at which you should stop.
I really don't think it makes sense.
Then if you see stopping playing as retiring and therefore a way to have a lot of free time... that's a whole other matter.
Personally I bet for some periods but in some others (in some cases even years) not, I have absolutely no interest...

[Mr.right85]

It’s not uncommon to have aged persons gamble, sometimes amongst themselves.

It’s more of how old you are at a time and if your still sound in mind and body despite your age. If you feel the need and your still capable of coming up with the predictions on games of interest, then you could as well keep up the gambling.

I still see myself trying out some bets if I could still come up with my own predictions and have the funds for it. Perhaps gamble with some friends for meetups while watching some games but, I wouldn’t base my bets on a prediction that isn’t of my origins that’s where I can call it off on gambling.

This would actually depend yet we know that there are oldies who are still really loving on playing gambling despite of their age and doesnt mind whether they would really be that still pending and do really engage on such

activity. Well, its our money that would really be used and not on other people on which there's no way that people could stop us out on what we are tending to do as long we dont really wreck ourselves.
Gambling doesnt really limit out people whether they would really be that old or young because we are really that free on what we do tend to do so because it is really just that for entertainment
in the first place. The only thing on here is that we should  really be still that responsible on whatever things which are really that our priorities but since we are old then
its not really that something that we do have in mind and we do usually be thinking about having some relaxation considering that we are already that bit old.

[Oshosondy]

I will quite gambling when I do not see it as fun again. If I do not derive any fun from gambling, then why I mine gambling. This is not by age or anything than the fun that I am having when I am gambling.

If I have grown up, maybe I will quit gambling but I do not think so, especially if I still have the fun when I am doing it.

[Stepstowealth]

are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.

Many gamblers do not know when they will stop gambling, they just have the believe that something will someday make them stop, but sometimes they never stop. If you gamble for long, it becomes more difficult to stop especially as you age, that is the same with any other habit that you start from a young age. If you have not accepted yourself as a gambler and you will not like to be a gambler in your old age, it is better you stop now while you still can before it becomes more difficult.

When we are young we think that everything in this life is simple. After a while, we realize we were wrong. That's what you think now, but in reality, the need for dopamine isn't going to go away and you need something to fulfill it. Let's see what you say when you're 45. I'm sure you'll still be gambling.

I haven't even thought about quitting gambling as it brings me more positive emotions than negative. I will probably quit gambling if I realize that it has become a problem for me.

[Juse14]

If I had no interest in gambling and considered that gambling was part of my personal enjoyment then I would never have decided to gamble. Here I don't know when I will die, maybe it could be tomorrow or the day after that I will leave this mortal world and I don't know whether I will be given the opportunity to live until I'm old, but I always pray that I can live until I'm old and until I can really improve myself and leave gambling completely. And according to the religion that I follow, gambling is an activity that is haram to do, so if I continue to gamble until I am old then I will only accumulate sins, which is when we get older, at this age we should be more focused on getting closer yourself to God.So if I could leave gambling right now then I would

I will most likely still be gambling occasionally, at least till something comes up. Not that i even need to but its just sometimes fun to punt a few hundred and see what happens. Half of the fun is probably the social aspect of it, talking to the people in the casino chatroom, putting up some rains for the chattors. If online crypto casinos dissapeared and only offline ones or fiat only were left, i would never gamble again.

[wheelz1200]

I think I will end up gambling more when I get older.  As ypu have less and less financial liabilities more free money opens up and time.  As you get older ypu have more and more free time on your hands.  It is a good form of "competition" as long as you play within your means.

You'll never know. There will be circumstances that you'll find an urge to gamble especially when you see or know someone close to you gambling as well even at an old age. I don't think there's some certainty that you'll gonna quit gambling when you're getting old, hence, the fact that most gamblers are already not that young too.

I don't think this is something that you can plan, we are emotionally attached to gambling at some point, and if we treat gambling as an entertainment portal it's hard to part ways on something that will give you happiness, your gambling days will be over just when you least it like you have something important to do or you find something that will replace gambling as a form of entertainment, there's really no specific time really.
If you are in full control of your gambling you can end it anytime, it's hard to plan something when it comes to gambling, some quit for a time being and some permanently quit unexpectedly.

Only future me can answer this, I don't know what it will be in the future I'll still be active or not and that's why I'll just let this question answered by future me.

I will answer first.

You don't say that because how old you are right now? You'll never know if that's going to be followed when you're on that age. But if you're true to yourself and you are planning to quit by that age, fine.

But as for me, just like what I have said. I can't say if I'll do the same as you or not by the time when I get older.

[Twentyonepaylots]

Gambling is a form of entertainment, when boredom strikes then all you gotta do is find anything to play with. I'm not sure until when I will gamble, or until what age I will gamble as long as I do it on my free time or killing my time as I entertain myself I would do it. In my country, there's nothing that much an elder person would do aside from taking care of their youngins or grandchild, their main thing to do is to play with other old people, I guess that's their way of feeding their inner younger self as an employee back then where they can't do much of their time and working for themselves. You can gamble as long as your happy with it, not sacrificing so much from yourself. The question would be, where will you be getting your money to gamble when you get old?

[letteredhub]

Where an age to stop gambling should become a concern is when the individual is playing gambling for making money but when it's some mainly for fun to entertain oneself as an activity I don't think there's an age to watch out for in stopping it. Playing gambling for fun at an old age can be a source of happiness as a hobby  but when playing for sake of making money each loss can bring you more grieve and dragging you closer to your grave.  I wish I know what the future will  hold for me at +70 year but if am still to gamble at that age it wouldn't be for money but for entertainment seeking.

It depends. I mean, if my passion for other stuff dies out, who knows? Gambling is much more accessible now compared to the past after all so even in old age, one can easily get access to casinos that you can play in. There also aren't any restrictions, plus if you manage to get the idea of gambling in your head when your old, I reckon you have a lot of money for your retirement fund. If not, well, I don't think I ever will, I'd just probably plant a garden or something realistically. The idea is basically out there, just depends on whether I'd grab it though.

Kinda curious, where did 42 come out? Is there a meaningful reason or did you just throw out a relatively middle-aged number there?

[Sandra_hakeem]

Everything that has a beginning must have an end... nothing last forever.
A time will come when the passion and urge to gamble will reduce spontaneously... The more you try to gamble, the less successful you become.. you'd have no choice but to quit permanently.
I still see old, shakky men being led to the club house by Thier paid companion... Funny though.

I will stop gambling if I get bored with the game. But if we talk about age, maybe I will stop at 40 years old. In my opinion, the older we get, the more needs we have, such as our children's school fees or our children's wedding expenses. So maybe when we are old we will stop gambling because there are too many thoughts and needs, maybe it could also mean we don't have time to gamble.

The most important thing is that I didn't stop gambling because I went bankrupt, that's a condition experienced by addicts

[JoyMarsha]

are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.

If it is about knowing when exactly I am stopping gambling, that's what I can't foresee now. The only time I know that I am about to stop gambling is when I know that I am not that vibrant in analyzing games the way I did before. Once I notice such changes have been made in my body, I will peacefully stop gambling without minding the time it was(old or young age).
My life principle is never to stay put in something that I know that I can't keep on with, no matter how fun it is.
