Will you gamble till old age or not

[Yamifoud]

Usually for people who like to gamble, have the concept of getting rich quickly or quickly multiplying their money instantly, in my country many people fall into or are trapped on online gambling sites. Maybe this person who is trapped has seen his friend win the jackpot from gambling, then follows in his friend's footsteps. It's best to avoid this business, as far as I know the gambling system was created by humans, This system that was created is not to win every player, in my opinion not. The dealer will never lose because since the system is designed to beat the player, Players who hope to win from gambling are losers

It is not necessary for us to avoid gambling but it is a need for us to know our limits. Getting into addiction it is not because someone told us that we have to gamble but instead, it is our will to do that. We can't blame these influencers either because that was their way of making money (maybe we could say not in the right way) but we are old enough to determine if that is right or wrong. Perhaps, we can decline but because of our greediness, we thought that gambling could be the way. Well, talking about until when I'm still gambling, I can't say when as I gamble as long as I can make it.

You can get out of it if you want but I think it will be hard for you in old age. In my opinion, those who are attached to it from a young age may never come out of it in old age. Because it is a means of enjoyment as well as a means of earning money.

If someone started gambling at young age, it doesn't mean that they won't stop it. They would if they find reason to stop because nothing last forever and change is also constant.

I believe that most gamblers do gambling because they have no other financial means to survive whilst knowing that it is all about their luck. To hope on luck for financial resources is not sustainable and so if some gamblers have a sustainable income, they would leave gambling. Therefore, it means those who started gambling at young age can also leave, when they find better jobs, a greater percentage of gamblers engage in it because they lack finance or jobs.

I agree with you Gozie51 for what you said about being able to change one habit with time,  and gambling is one of such habits that someone can stop if really the person is determined to stop at all costs,  this is because in gambling we have a lot of things that can negatively affect those who take it as means of getting an income and if it be perceived that way it then means that the gambler will have every reason to keep gambling and at some point even slide into addictions which could be a more dangerous situation to handle along the line.

But then also we have to be fair in our dealing and try to strick a balance between gambling for fun and gambling to meet the end need,

Gambling isn't something that should be done by aged people as the effects might be too risky for their health.
Older people are always advised not get involved in things that'll stress them mentally because of their age and gambling is one of the things that can seriously l stress somebody mentally and that's why I don't think it's wise to play gamble at old age.

Yes and one of the childish things is that they might be a little bit selfish, they understand that their minds should be mature and that means being able to differentiate between good and bad sometimes they are still selfish like children, like I said before because they misinterpret the opportunity so they keep gambling because they want to get the winnings that are always expected, they are already stuck in that cycle like any other gambler.

That's one of the goals of casinos, they want gamblers to get stuck in their own mindset of uncertain expectations, and they're already there to keep playing and chasing wins. Basically if they are too serious and ambitious in their pursuit of winning then surely whatever control they have previously set up will be lost and they will forget about it.

Honestly, I can't really be sure whether they will be firm with their decision to quit at some targeted time, because sometimes it's just nonsense, it's very difficult to avoid it. So I think it's more effective if you want to quit in the next few years then you have to start reducing the activity from now on, you can reduce the time to gamble and also the budget. This must be done slowly because there is no way with such addiction they can stop suddenly.

And they must realize this by reducing their gambling activities to avoid difficulties when they really want to stop gambling. Often, people get caught up in their thoughts, which makes them think that they should be obeyed even though that is not necessarily true. And that makes them misinterpret the odds because they want to win. Perhaps they should stop gambling for good so they don't think about winning from gambling.

That's the way it should be, whether they are young or old, they should be able to realize it so that they can make precautions or reduce and basically some restrictions that should be done. Honestly I don't care if they are old or young, in gambling they are the same and it all depends on themselves and their own personalities. We can't assume that those who are older are mature in their thinking and choices, it won't always be like that even though our assumptions usually say that older must be more mature. And that's the wrong thought, they make a mindset that will indirectly make themselves trapped or create a trap for themselves. So before gambling or getting into gambling it's better to do your research first, if you can't withstand all the risks that are there I think it's better not to do it because it will only make it worse and add to the problem.

We must realize that we only use gambling as entertainment and nothing more so we don't get trapped into gambling deeply. Apart from that, we don't need to chase victory because the more we chase it, the more difficult it will be for us to get that victory. That will only result in us losing self-control and making us lose money.

I know how hard it is to get our minds around gambling especially if you're already in the addiction phase, it's very difficult, your logic and greed will keep arguing between the facts and the uncertain expectations. I hope you can give your logic a little time to think realistically that this is gambling to test your luck, nothing more than that and don't overdo it if you want to survive until the end of the journey.

They must be firm with themselves and know what they have to do, especially if it is gambling. And I agree with you that trying to reduce gambling activities from now on will not make it difficult for us if we want to stop in the next few years. And it can also allow us to save money to use it for other things.

For the problem of whether or not they are firm in applying self-control, I think it's true that it will come back to themselves, only they know what they feel, every gambler has a different way, so that means they also have their own way to overcome it if they really want to stop. Of course, as I said before, there is no way they can instantly stop gambling especially for those who are already addicted. So a more effective alternative is that you have to start from now on to reduce it so that when you reach your target to stop you will have no difficulty stopping because your interest must have decreased to gamble.

There is no difference when they gamble because the only difference is how they can control themselves in gambling. They are not responsible gamblers if they are older but cannot control themselves. But some people are younger but can control themselves well, prevent themselves from losing a lot, and become responsible gamblers. That's what every gambler needs as long as he gambles, and if they can't do it, they will only experience a lot of losses while they can't win. This mindset does not depend on a person's age but on how a person can respond to what must be done rather than just pursuing or following their desires.

It is very difficult to control our thoughts if we have a gambling addiction. We will not see what gambling addiction, greed, logic and others are because we only think about gambling, winning and enjoying it. We won't think anything other than that. Yes, this is gambling. We don't need to test our luck by continuing to play because that could cause us to experience a lot of losses.

That is if they have their own way of controlling themselves. Each gambler knows how to control himself, but because they are covered by their ego and desire to win, they forget to control themselves. Someone who gambles for too long will not be able to remember when he has to stop because his goal of gambling is no longer to get pleasure but to win. That would be different from his original goal, and he would suffer more defeats. And when the money was gone, he realized he had made a fatal mistake.

If we talk about health, of course elderly people who have poor health are certainly not advised to continue gambling. If they gamble, it can make them feel excessive tension or excessive stress. But as long as they think of it as fun it will probably be fine. But personally, maybe when I get old I will stop. But I don't know when that will be.

And actually, if we talk about health, it is not only recommended for elderly people but also for young people. If tension and stress can endanger a person's health then staying away from things that can cause stress must be done, whether from gambling or other things.
In fact, if gambling is done based on fun and entertainment then it will not cause stress. But if we are too serious about doing it then we are prone to stress. Even trading can trigger stress if it is not done the right way.

It depends on the person the kind of reaction they have towards gambling, it is true that an activity in which you lose money can be an activity which can increase your stress levels, and in that case those senior citizens should avoid gambling as it could hinder their health, but for the ones that are able to entertain themselves in this way and reduce their stress instead I do not see the need at all for them to stop gambling when it is something that brings joy to their lives.

[GideonGono]

I am not sure since I grow up with my Grandma and she usually gamble with her friends to enjoy and pass time, I think that it would be normal for some old people right now sine they aren't into technology so it is their way to have fun and enjoy their time.
But for us I think that it would be a different story so I am not even sure if I would be gambling when I am old.

Right. I am glad your grandma is still having fun. But hopefully, everything is under control and the bets are something she can afford to lose.

People are wondering why they seldom hear or see older people gamble or play online, technology is the reason behind it. Online betting has become a trend in our generation only so we have the least expectations for the old ones to adopt it, especially when there are options like land-based casinos and peer-to-peer.

And as we grow old, it is normal that something changes. So there is always the possibility that betting becomes the least of our priorities when we get old. While there are also people who are not fond of betting they become interested when they get old.

That's a small part of the entertainment that your grandmother enjoyed with her friends and I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as they aim to have fun. I also often meet my grandparents around the house gambling and it's not a large amount but they are very happy with what they get in maintaining harmony between friends. Maybe those of us who are still young don't feel that way, but there will come a time when we are old and we will feel the same way.

Age certainly acts as a factor in gambling where as young people we can brainstorm and research into gambling as much as we do when we are old. Moreover, in old age, our brain gets tired, so the nervous system does not want to take extra stress, but due to excess stretch, we do not remember many things in old age. So after a certain age limit one must take a break from gambling. Most of the 60-year-olds are affected by old diseases, so some people cannot take mental and physical pressure at this time, so it is better not to involve them in some analytical jobs like gambling.

[naira]

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.

It's difficult to determine when to stop completely, but personally I certainly want to stop as quickly as possible and really stop completely. But on the other hand, the gambling I do currently is not as aggressive as most other gamblers. I mean, I only play when I want and don't force myself to bet every day. Because I am quite busy and don't have time to visit the casino. So this also reduces gambling activities, I realize that this condition is quite ideal and free from addiction. Considering the people closest to me, no matter how busy they are, they still make time to gamble and I think this is quite disturbing.

[Webetcoins]

It's hard for me to quit gambling even though sometimes I admit that I'm addicted on it but there are still times that I can snap out of it or go back to being responsible again. Gambling gives me happiness and profit. That is why.

In your case @OP, maybe you are tired of your losses and you are addicted on it for you to decide to put an end in gambling. Alright, it's up to you because at the end it was still your life. You aren't a big loss in the gambling industry anyway, as there are still young people who will replace your position, especially now that online gambling is very accessible almost anywhere. Thanks to the cheap smart phones and internet.

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.

People first enter this gambling platform as entertainment and then slowly adopt this gambling platform as a means of earning money. Whenever a person uses this gambling platform as a means of earning money, people slowly become addicted to the gambling platform. Whenever a person becomes addicted to a gambling platform, it becomes very difficult for him to get out of this gambling platform. It is very difficult to say that a time comes when he cannot get out of this gambling platform in any way, so he dies due to gambling addiction in his old age. So all those who are involved in the gambling platform should leave the gambling platform after reaching a certain age. As a person grows older, different thoughts start working in him. Meanwhile, if you lose by participating in the bet in old age, then more thoughts will work. If so, his health will be at risk. He may even die of over-exertion because an old man can never carry the same thoughts as a young man. So I think a man should quit this gambling platform before he gets old. I will leave this gambling platform before 40 years.

Psychologists say that there is a difference in thinking between people who can control themselves and those who cannot control themselves when gambling. The first ones gamble for pleasure and in no case for money. They understand that they came to have fun - whether they lose or not is not particularly important, the main thing is fun. But the second generation of people believes that they can earn money on a regular basis, and if they lose, they become furious.

And all this does not matter at what age, this judgment applies to everyone.

Age is not a barrier in gambling, we're the ones that would choose the brighter sections to fall into. Joblessness is basically among the reasons why most individuals are into the space, they're here to print as many profits that would be equivalent to their undying desire. But I'm certainly sure it these same people have a job, they wouldn't waste their time other than focusing on the main job till after salary.
The big question pops up when we have succeeded in earning good figures from gambling, will one gamble till old age, that's absolutely out of the picture. 

[mirakal]

You can get out of it if you want but I think it will be hard for you in old age. In my opinion, those who are attached to it from a young age may never come out of it in old age. Because it is a means of enjoyment as well as a means of earning money.

If someone started gambling at young age, it doesn't mean that they won't stop it. They would if they find reason to stop because nothing last forever and change is also constant.

I believe that most gamblers do gambling because they have no other financial means to survive whilst knowing that it is all about their luck. To hope on luck for financial resources is not sustainable and so if some gamblers have a sustainable income, they would leave gambling. Therefore, it means those who started gambling at young age can also leave, when they find better jobs, a greater percentage of gamblers engage in it because they lack finance or jobs.

Gamblers can actually leave gambling if they really want to. They will put an end to it once they will realized that gambling has never done something good in their lives except consistent losing. Or once they have gained sustainable source of income that even with the absence of gambling, they will sure to survive. Although the process might not be easy for addicted gamblers, but if they are determined to stop gambling, they will really find ways to do it.

[benalexis12]

What old age are you talking about if you continue to gamble? I asked this because, in the time we have now, most of the 50-year-olds have had feelings about their bodies or health.

Do you think that if an old person has feelings, they will still think about gambling? It seems that the former is not realistic if, for example, at the age of 60 and above, there are still many people who gamble. Is there anything else during this time? I don't want that to happen to me, and I don't plan to do that even as I get older. Although I know that the world of gambling has no age limit,

Myself too have the similar thoughts, but I don't know how good will be the situation. I'm not sure of my financial situation, health and I don't know how bad will be the addiction. Based on these factors would be the gambling. By those days we don't be thinking of spending time, because we won't get much time as we will be busy spending good time with our grand children.

There's no way on knowing on what would be the future looks like on which it would really be always depending on whats the financial status you do have or even with your health because if there's none of those things to be problem in the future specially if you do have the money which you could really make use for that gambling activity then it would really be that doing that but of course everything would really be getting in line with your interest or into the opportunity that you are having on that particular time. We know that we do gets old then it wont really be that could be avoid about having some health issues but if there's none then you might have financial but if both arent a problem then most probably you would really be that aiming for other things on which you would really gonna
like to do since not all would really be that interested on playing gambling on the time that they have left on this world. Some would really be focusing on travel and some would really be just that focusing on spending their time with their family and cherishing out those short years that they have left.
