Will you gamble till old age or not

[Casdinyard]

Possibly, especially if I grow old to be that type of whiney grumpy old man that the little kids laugh about. See by then I figured I'd have a future that's set for me, money so I don't have to worry about retirement til I die, and possibly a family that I am proud of supporting me emotionally. Gambling would only come to my mind if I were as lonely as I am today. Plus it's a little unbecoming when you turn old and you're still busting your balls out gambling what little money you have left. Gambling I still may pick up on every now and again especially during out of towns, but that only involves trying out the general atmosphere and vibe of new-age casinos by then and not necessarily because gambling is still part of my life. So yeah, I hope that in the future when I'm old and gray, I don't have to gamble anymore.

Surely I will gamble in my old ages,because I will save money to live in the old ages.So the money which I was saving also include for the gambling at the old ages.I will earn the money till my 55 years and hold the money to gamble above the fifty five years.The addiction is not the cause of this reaction,the affection towards the gambling was the main reason for this.If the gambler get the affection towards the gambling,So he plan to live the gambling till their dead.Same was the opinion of myself being the gambler.

How are you so sure that you will have enough money to have some money for gambling, I feel like that's a pretty odd addition to your retirement plans, wouldn't you be better off traveling when you're old rather than spending those days gambling? Either you're lying that you're going to do this or you're addicted to gambling but you're too scared to admit it, also people that aren't addicted to gambling do not really say they're not addicted, it has the opposite effect of making you more guilty of what you're trying to say that you are not.

We should be able to realize that chasing the world will not be fulfilling because the world will change and we will not be able to keep up because we will never be young again. Those of us who are old will be replaced by the young so that we will not be able to compete with them and will only be spectators. Those of us who are getting older must think about leaving gambling one day so that from now on, we will be able to reduce our gambling activities. Moreover, we don't have a big chance of winning much money apart from just losing more money from gambling. If we can reduce gambling activities from now on, when we get older, we will be able to quit gambling. There will be no hard feelings about leaving gambling because we are satisfied with gambling and it is time to enjoy life in old age with our family.

Yep, it's true that old age is the time to rest, there no point in chasing an increasingly changing world, its time for the young to express themselves.
I hope that in my old age I will do more positive thing to avoid negative influences such as gambling, therefore I will reduce gambling from now on, I occasionally use gambling but within reasonable limit and am able to control myself well so thats not gambling addiction.
I think that with my situation under control like this, in my old age it will be easy to give up gambling because when I was young I was quite satisfied with thats.

[Nerdy doctor]

If someone gambles when they are old, of course this will add to the problems that will arise from the gambling they do. When they are still young, of course if they lose in the bets they play, it will certainly be easier for them to control themselves. it will be very difficult to be able to do this if we are old, therefore it would be good if we have entered old age to no longer do activities such as gambling because we already have many responsibilities and this will be very difficult for us. fulfill our responsibilities if we are still gambling.

There can be problems that could arise from gambling but only if you willingly let such problems happen. And I don’t think it would be any easier for a young person any more than an old one when losing out on your bets. I would think it could quite easier for an old person as being old and more experienced with gambling issues, it wouldn’t faze you any longer if you win or lose.
As for responsibilities, when you get elderly, you get less responsibilities as your kids, if any would have all grown up and left to live their own lives. You only have yourself to look after now.

When we are old, we can provide a way for those who are still young to express themselves and show their abilities to be able to compete with others. Meanwhile, those of us who are old can do activities that suit us to avoid world problems that we should not be involved in. We must be able to avoid negative influences that can come to us if we continue to do things that can have a bad impact on us. We must remember that we are getting older and it is time to leave all the activities that once accompanied us and we can use the time we have with our family. Maybe in the past, when we were still actively doing many things, including gambling, we often forgot about them and now is the time to give everything to them so that they have a good impression of us as their parents and even their grandfathers.

[Outhue]

This is entirely bad but I am more concern of the state your brain will be at when you grow older, we have different bodies and while some start ageing they start getting weaker, that includes the brain too, so I think it depends on what will unfold when you are at the old age, the future is unpredictable and not everyone will grow old before they pass on, sadly.

There is a possibility that you will add more to your problem when you keep gambling at your old age and it's also possible that you will find more joy in gambling at the age because you will have less responsibilities on you, as you can see it's harder to even know what will happen, so it depends on you.

I would say it's not a good thing generally, because at such age you shouldn't be streesing yourself trying to make money, even if you are risking only what you can afford to lose, at this time you should be enjoying the fruits of all what you have sow in the past, or your children taking care of you, apart from relaxing and having good balanced diet I don't think you should be getting involved with gambling.

Yes I agree with you, maybe I will also do as you said more positive things that have nothing to do with gambling. by doing other things like chatting with friends or going fishing, or gardening maybe it's better than gambling. Although I've seen some people who are elderly and are in casinos, some of them are even physically unwell (disabled) but they still gamble because they have a lot of money and maybe that's how they spend their old age. But if I have a lot of money in my old age, I'm thinking of buying a large plantation or a farm. That way there are activities for me too.

Many of them are still chasing the winnings in gambling, even though it's risky but they still chase it whether they think so they don't think about anything else, I gamble only on weekends, so I myself am confident that I can quit gambling especially now with my new job making me always have things to be responsible for, so it increases the possibility of me not gambling anymore even if it's only on weekends.

Too much money pushes many people to gambling to spend their free time. Because gambling is a fun place and those who have a lot of money do not have any plan to earn from gambling. he goes there only to enjoy gambling so it doesn't matter to them whether he is young or old. But it will not be the same for everyone. each person's plan may be different like you.

Many of them are still chasing the winnings in gambling, even though it's risky but they still chase it whether they think so they don't think about anything else, I gamble only on weekends, so I myself am confident that I can quit gambling especially now with my new job making me always have things to be responsible for, so it increases the possibility of me not gambling anymore even if it's only on weekends.

Gambling is very risky so if one does not have a lot of money then he should not spend much time in gambling because gambling addiction can destroy him because he does not have a strong financial backup. So your plan is commendable.  It is very difficult to control yourself from gambling and to stop gambling at any time.  But if you can do it, it will be good for you

There are some pensioner age gamblers who stream games on Twitch btw.   Gambling is very popular with age and is a good thing as a game to keep your brain active like any other game such as crossword puzzles etc.   Also sports betting is very popular and many types of fairly casual gambling is think is quite ok at any age

Although gambling basically does not depend on age but still we must be able to balance things according to the situation, and also although those who are old have the freedom and right to whatever they want to do including gambling but on the other hand it is best as you suggest that when we are old then it is better to find more positive activities because it will also have a good impact on our lives, such as for example filling time with sports or anything that has a good impact.

But sometimes there are still some of those who gamble to enjoy their old age, of course it depends on the choice of each person if indeed they have strong control and limits in gambling it is not a problem and also correctly consider that gambling is only an activity for entertainment. The point is that if you can manage it well about any activity it will not be a problem, provided that you must be able to limit yourself so as not to be addicted, but well it is true that basically it is better to avoid activities that have a negative impact, especially if we are already in old age, I am sure they also do not want to enjoy old age by always experiencing many problems due to the impact of gambling, especially financial.

I disagree with you, if I like gambling, I will follow my favorite teams, and most likely I will see opportunities for some profitable bet, it is unlikely that I will be able to resist not making a bet. And I never spend too much time on it, so it's never detrimental to my family. I don't need to play every day, for me it's enough to do it several times a week. In retirement, I will most likely have even more free time, my children will become adults and I will be able to do what I like.

That because they are older people who use gambling as an activity or activity that can entertain themselves, especially retiree who doesn't have job or part-time activity every day.
It is normal that more and more older people still like to gamble even though we know that what they are doing is mistake.

If they still live with their children and have several grandchildren, then you can be sure that gambling is the second choice because they will prefer to spend daily time with their grandchildren and guiding them in their studies.
Personally when I am old I still gamble, I will use limits as much as possible so that bad things don't happen which could cause number of problems such as financial problems.

I don't know about him but I kinda have same plans and to enjoy gambling when I retire.
I would "probably" have enough money because I am working towards making that money.
With my investments and other plans I will have that money but if in some case I do not have enough money then I will avoid gambling.

[Westinhome]

Being the gambler from my younger age,I would like to do the gambling till my old ages.Actually I had my separate saving for the old age gambling,every gambler who like to do the gambling at the old age should do like this.Because at the old age we don’t have enough money for the gambling.So we should ask our children the gambling money.So for this reason,I had my separate saving for my old age gambling.

Everyone has their own way of playing a role and I have also met many elderly people who are actually rich people who still have fun in their gambling activities using their pension money to gamble. I think maybe in their youth they were used to gambling so that when they were old they couldn't get away from it gambling or maybe are addicted to gambling, it is quite sad to see parents who gamble in their old age.
Indeed, there is no prohibition on this and it is each individual's human right because he uses his own money and hopefully this will not be a big problem for his family.

It's good if you can arrange your gambling schedule so that you don't visit gambling sites too often. Doing other activities besides gambling will have a positive impact on yourself, so you don't need to worry about being addicted to gambling.

It's okay if you don't agree with me. But can you guarantee that if you are still gambling, you can still have good self-control and not spend too much time gambling, even though you are old and maybe your children also don't approve of seeing you still gambling, even if it's just for fun. We know that gambling can tempt us to continue gambling another day and those of us who are experienced in gambling may still gamble another day even though we already have limits on when we gamble. It would be better if we were in retirement, we could get closer to our family. Of course, we could also get closer to more spiritual things.

[GigaBit]

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.

There is no way to know in advance when a gambler will stop gambling or when it will start. Because the gambler can only quit gambling when he feels that he should quit gambling. I have seen many people who want to quit gambling and then go back to gambling. But when a person gets older, he should definitely give up gambling. Because it has various effect. If one takes to gambling in old age, any major loss can lead to physical complications. We should stop gambling after a certain age. I think people in their 60-70 years should stay away from gambling. If that is not possible then it would be better to come out slowly.

Gambling is always available, but it requires a lot of self-control, especially as one ages. Gambling freedom comes with responsibility. I've seen the patterns: rapid winnings, thrill of the wage, and then, financial troubles, addiction. individuals have the right to select their hobbies, but with age should come insight to see gambling for what it is: a sort of amusement that may easily go out of hand. Setting limits is important, but so is knowing gambling's financial and emotional risks. The house always wins, and odds are rarely in your favor

Gambling can be controlled as a recreational pastime, but management is key. Education, understanding, and control - not prohibition - are the goals. As we age, we should prioritize activities that enrich our lives rather than damage them

Many of them are still chasing the winnings in gambling, even though it's risky but they still chase it whether they think so they don't think about anything else, I gamble only on weekends, so I myself am confident that I can quit gambling especially now with my new job making me always have things to be responsible for, so it increases the possibility of me not gambling anymore even if it's only on weekends.

I thank you in advance, and I hope everyone can also leave gambling. Especially those who are addicted to gambling, they must be aware of the harmful effects of gambling. But I have no intention of demonizing gambling, because gambling also has positive things, namely providing more fun and sensation when playing, but if it is done with self-control that can limit their gambling activities, so that there is no severe addiction to gambling. because there is a future that they have to face, it is impossible for them to spend their lives just gambling but if they have unlimited income it doesn't matter hahaha.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

It's the same way I will not work for someone forever, gambling till old age is stupid, what do you want your grannies to learn from you? Dirty gambling habits?
We do gamble daily with our day today activities unknown to us and that can go on for a length of time. But you see the casino, online and shop betting, I don't want to do that forever.

And immediately it's no longer fun for me and I start borrowing to gamble, then I'mma never near gambling sites again!

It really depends on the level of self-control of each person has since I do not think there is anything wrong with an old person playing some hands of poker with their friends or making a friendly sport bet with them as well, however if we are talking about unhealthy gambling habits then they should definitely quit as soon as possible, as someone that is young at least has the chance to eventually recover all the money they have lost through their hard work and investments, but someone that has reached that age does not have the time to recover all the money they could potentially lose if they are not careful.
