I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it!

[Renampun]

The Australian Government once said about abolishing gambling ads as a means of reducing gambling activities amongst underage people. But, I think they'll be no successful way of stopping young people from gambling. As it's in them. Most articles here also say things like gambling addiction being hereditary. That means gambling can be hereditary as well. Because I just watched from a distant two kids below 10 years, staking bets, after a long argument about who the artiste of a specific song is. They later staked close to 40 cents each, for the person who gets the answer right. Then they went ahead to verify. And I lost sight of them. I thought about, how come or who thought these kids about betting money during a long argument. I was able to memorize, back when I was a kid. We easily said, how much would you bet if it turns out I'm saying the truth; during an argument. It made me understand that, despite during those days we had no phones or access to the internet, gambling is somehow embedded to the brain of humans. Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

There are a lot of advertisements scattered about gambling nowadays so don't be surprised, even small children now understand about gambling. Apart from that, I am also quite sure that there are many small children who see adults in their family gambling, this also triggers them curious about what is called gambling, it is difficult to make young children completely avoid gambling, all we can do is educate them about the dangers of gambling at an early age.

[pawanjain]

As someone who started gambling at the age of 15, I don't believe that restricting gambling advertisements is successful in keeping young individuals and kids away from gambling. The reason for this is that, unfortunately, gambling can enter our lives for various reasons not just because of an advertisement we saw. For example, the circle of friends is a very important factor in acquiring the gambling habit and this was the biggest factor in my turning to sports betting at a young age (almost kid). On the other hand, physical betting offices and physical casinos especially within the country can cause many young individuals to show interest in gambling. Especially, with the abuse of legal age restrictions by the staff of such businesses many people can easily access gambling and acquire the gambling habit. For this reason, I definitely don't think that restricting or blocking gambling ads is the only solution. Nowadays, when it is possible to acquire gambling habits due to many different reasons, restricting or completely banning gambling advertisements can only lead to a very small percentage of young people and kids turning to gambling. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to find a complete solution to this situation.

Makes sense. I must ask what was the trigger that got you started with gambling just a minor age of 15 ?
I personally think that if gambling is done within limits then it's actually good because it can make us happy if we gamble for fun.
But the problem arises when we cross our limits and it happens so easily with gambling that we tend to lose our control quickly.

[tjtonmoy]

As human beings whether we are child or an adult, we like to stake something valuable to us in order to prove our self right. We had this mentality even before gambling was invented. Where do you think people got the idea of gambling? It was already in us and some people thought that it could be a way of entertainment. So they took the idea and put a specific thing like money to bet on something and make it a game. And they created those game in a way so that they can also make money.

I think this is how gambling was invented. We like to stake something valuable to achieve something. It's in our nature. That's how a normal people operate. But those people who run a casino, took this opportunity and made it a business. So no one learns it rather it is already in our mind.

I see it like this. A single strand of thread could not be strong. But when you put thousands of threads together it becomes so much stronger. We like to bet on things in life which are so small that we don't even notice it. For that reason we can't describe it as a proper gambling because people have changed its meaning by making it a business. Those people who run gambling platforms have found a way to combine those threads to make it stronger and call it gambling. And that's how it is.

During the years I mentioned, we were following many football matches with my high school friends and chatting about the teams by making predictions among ourselves. Later, we saw that a betting office was opened very close to our school and although we didn't meet the age criteria we wanted to try our luck in betting. We started betting easily because the staff of this business didn't request any identification information and ignored the minimum age rule set by the government for gambling. At the very beginning of the process, we were having fun among ourselves with very small amount of bets and winning a good amount of money based on making really successful predictions. Of course, over time this process turned into a gambling addiction and I became addicted to gambling when I was only 15 years old. Even though I only had pocket money during the periods I mentioned, I generally used all my money to bet but I definitely didn't bet with borrowed money.

This process continued for approximately 1.5 years and then with the ambition to give up this addiction I got rid of my gambling addiction in a very short time. This was a great success and a very important experience for me. Nowadays, gambling has become just an expensive fun method for me and I gamble only for fun within my budget in a disciplined manner.

The gambler who had sports background in the school days will automatically get into the sportsbetting of the gambling sites.Because they may learn the specific sports rule at the time of playing during the school days.If the game is football the gambler may use the football in the sportsbetting by knowing the rules and the key star players of the international club.By the sports knowledge the children can easily earn the money from the gambling at their adult age.It was most important to earn more at the adult age.

Cant make out that conclusion though yet im a sports guy in elementary days which i do really have interest with NBA and this is what sport im really that a fan of, but you do have some point that sooner or later on which you would really be able to engage yourself into something like gambling or betting on which it could be avoidable depending on what kind of type of person are you.
There are really things which you cant really be able to resist on trying out on the time that curiosity would really be kicking in. Its up to you whether you would really be avoiding or would really be engaging on controlled manner. There are ones who could really just make out bets but occasionally, there are ones who would turn out to be a heavy bettor.

It would really be that according into your own interest and the severity of betting amount will really be according on how addicted you are with betting.
Its true that even on how hard our parents would really be doing such monitoring but due to easy access nowadays and too much exposure then its impossible that
you could totally hide it from them.

[Betwrong]

It all depends on how parents educate them, sometimes a child can imitate what they see and hear what is around them from their environment, if they are far from gambling it will definitely not have a bad impact on them even though the government prohibits gambling advertisements I think that too It won't help if the environment is still heavily associated with gambling.

I also often did that when I was little and that was also due to the influence of my school environment where they always asked us to bet on the football games we played and we bet on football matches between class A kids and class B kids, yes, even though it wasn't using big money but still gambling can be affected by the environment as well and it will continue to be embedded into adulthood.

You mean teachers were encouraging kids to gamble? OMG. I can't believe it's possible anywhere. Those teachers should be fired, in my opinion.

It's easier than said. Even if you teach or lecture your children, you can't stop them from exploring things, and gambling is one of them. Parents can't monitor their child's activity 24/7, so they will never know if their child is gambling. In short, the person itself explores things like gambling by nature. The most possible solution for children not to do gambling is to abolish gambling itself, which we know is impossible, so what will we do? Maybe more censorship, especially on social media and television, or on all platforms that children can access. I personally do gambling, and I don't want to go to the point wherein my country will prohibit the gambling, whether online or physically. So it's up to the parents on how they will guide their children; it's their responsibility. If a parent itself does gambling and you let your children witness it, then you as a parent are irresponsible.

You are right. Well, not in my case. No one told me not to gamble when I was a kid, so, I didn't even know it was a bad thing to do. And I gambled once; three of us, 10-year-old kids chipped in on one lottery ticket, and we actually won like 10 times of the ticket price, but I'd never gambled since then until I was like 30. But maybe if I knew it was something forbidden for kids to do, I'd gamble more, idk.

This is the nature of gambling and unfortunately as I mentioned it applies to everyone at some point, regardless of interest and level of knowledge.

If we are to track back how we all started with gambling, some of our stories will be funny because then we were young and things we then were not to be compared to how we behave now in gambling, children were mostly restricted from gambling, because of the requirements for money in other to gamble, you have your own privilege of gambling even when no one knows about that, but I wonder where you got your money from then to gamble

It will be a memory that will never be forgotten because maybe many of us gambled secretly so our parents wouldn't know. And it's a story that we can tell again when we're hanging out with our old friends so that the memories will come back. But indeed, childhood is full of many things, especially gambling, which we may not realize at that time that what we do with our friends is gambling. We still keep repeating it with our friends because we like the game. As children, we get money from our parents to gamble with our friends.

Since you said you became addicted to gambling and used your entire pocket money for betting if you would have continued betting then you would have done the same as an adult.
It's good that you were able to give up the gambling addiction because it would have ruined your life otherwise.
This shows how easy it is to get started with gambling and get addicted to it while how difficult it is to leave this habit.

I agree with you that gambling is not possible without knowledge and less experience leads to more risk. Sports betting requires a lot of knowledge To understand sports betting you should be familiar with the betting types and markets. Betting on game dust often varies from place to place so make sure you familiarize yourself with the types of bets and markets available for sports betting before you put your money on the line or else you risk losing more money than making money.

If you have proper dedication to do something  then anyone can't stop you. Few months previous I don't know what is gambling but now I do gamble. I am not that much kind of professional gamble but I do gambling. My gambling journey studied from YouTube advertisement. I share this in in a post the advertisement was 1xbet advertisement. I am not 18 + now but I do gambling scenes something 6 months or maybe before that. I know this is against gambling rules but my dedication to do something that's help me to learn about gambling. I belong from a middle class family. Gambling help me a lot to be a self depended person. I am not only the person who gamble under 18 I have many friends who also gamble. If you have property dedication to learn and if you know how to many management then kids also do it. We are I sport lovers and maximum of us used to gamble in sports. Because of loving sports too much we have quite experience in games and because of the experience we take risk for sports beting.

Yes now that I look back at it, most of my childhood memories consist of gambling bets not with money but with toys that we seems to enjoy back then,
Not fully knowing that we are already gambling at an early age we just think that it was a game and it is not bad since we are playing and paying with toys not with money.
P.S I am talking about cards and marble ball.

True, although gambling basically depends on luck but if you have absolutely no experience then I'm sure you will suffer more losses, especially if you are too serious or ambitious in gambling. And also yes experience and skills will be very useful if you do skill-based gambling such as sports for example, because it is true there skills and knowledge are needed, it will be useful to increase your chances of luck.

So before betting I hope you can learn about the skills or knowledge that is needed, by doing research first about the club you are going to choose, see their performance and match histroy, if indeed it looks promising enough then you can start your bet, no need with a large amount, but just allocate a budget that you can be responsible for if you lose in the end, because still even though this is skill-based gambling and knowledge you will still need a little luck for the final result, so with a minimal budget then at least you will not experience a large enough loss if you end up losing.

You have a good point, man. Football is one of the top-rated games in the world and I believe that more people win based on the options they pick or their predictions from football, because football has more options than other games in casinos, but still I have no doubt that winning doesn't come all the time in gambling. Some days are meant for gamblers to lose, and some days are meant for gamblers to win, and still it isn't a good idea for gamblers to over gamble just to recover the lost ones (it's going to make them lose more).

[FanEagle]

There needs to be some sort of thesis and tests done on this before we could come to a real conclusion. Anything else would be just made up and guesses. Wagering or betting between each other and gambling on sports games are not the same thing. The idea of "I do not think you can jump from this height" to wager with our friends and joke around is not the same as "Bayern will win this, I bet 100 bucks on it", those are two very different things.

So, I would say yeah betting with our friends on would you or won't you etc etc is inbuilt and even if we remove every single person the world above age of 1 year, so all the babies grow up together and build a whole new society somehow, I can guarantee you that they will bet with each other, but betting on sports is not that common for them and would probably not happen. That's a whole another system of thing, and didn't really happen until much later in human society as well, the whole casino mindset I mean.

No one can stop you, especially when it involves money. Since winning money is purely luck-based, people will always want to try their luck. While gambling does carry some risk, it has, in one way or another, benefited a great deal of people. This is evident in the efforts made by gambling websites to sell their products. You're set if your gaming habits have an arbitrary limit. The world is becoming smarter; you're not even 18 yet and you're gambling, yet most gambling websites don't require a KYC to properly verify an individual's age. On top of that, the children want to earn money, thus the simplest method for them to get money is gambling with small amount of money bets can be placed. And gambling at a very young age is not advisable.

We stake to earn good money from the system, often we lose and it's left for us to either bet again or move on and wait patiently for another day, because different days comes with different opportunities. We are acquainted and knows the next unpredicted moves of gambling. Knowledge is key information and with the possession of these basic knowledge, one can reduced the means of losses and embraced good streams of earning from the system. Everything done are followed by gradual steps. Gambling requires a gambler to understand the system and knows how to comprehend the situation he or she faced.

It will be a memory that will never be forgotten because maybe many of us gambled secretly so our parents wouldn't know. And it's a story that we can tell again when we're hanging out with our old friends so that the memories will come back. But indeed, childhood is full of many things, especially gambling, which we may not realize at that time that what we do with our friends is gambling. We still keep repeating it with our friends because we like the game. As children, we get money from our parents to gamble with our friends.

I don't see anything inbuilt about gambling, all we have to do is to make sure that we don't bet too regularly. Gambling is not something we tell people around just to show off what we had made so far from it. We need to keep things personal and don't allow unnecessary things to affect our gambling lifestyle. We need to try as much to gamble like a professional that we tend to be not just anyhow. The more we gamble, the more we can understand about what gambling is all about. Making profits as a gambler can sometimes be more of luck and you will need to do some findings to know some kind games that frequently gives you profits.
