Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ?

[cabron]

Cricket is a tradition already in many countries eventually the kids are going to be exposed to it since cricket games are on TV. But just like NBA games on EA, the younger generation will learn these fantasy games faster than the real ones since they can play them on their phones.

If they are able to gamble in the cricket fantasy game and these kids install the app, I guess they may also learn to gamble. Every generation is different though, they're gonna handle gambling differently if not guided.

Prevent your younger generations from gambling, before they create a mess out of your family name, just because your family are into gambling from your past generation doesn't mean you should set the same example to your younger generation, or what have they achieve becoming gamblers so far? As if it's something one can be proud of.

Gambling is something you should do secretly and silently, it's not something to be publicly proud of, because only 1 out of millions of people end up winning the jackpot,.

Gambling creates this ill madness in all gamblers that there is no other easy to make money than this and I have watch this ruin so many family, if you are still supporting this nonsense then good luck, you will watch your younger generation turning your family name into a piece of joke, they wi create shame and fixed it your family name.

It's like people are not aware of the issues with gambling, you don't want to take gambling as your only saviour in this world, it's a risk of your life and time, you must involve yourself in a way that you won't hurt your life and future.

Teach them real stories of how someone ruined his life at a young age because of gambling. Yes, we're gamblers but teach these children that they shouldn't gamble when they are still young because they don't have money to use.

If they're going to gamble at a young age, they will be dependent to their parents and that's the reason why they're going ruin their lives. It's about the practice that they will develop through their times and as they grow older, they'll always try to look for it.

And by developing that practice that they will be used to, that's hard to eliminate even if they will promise themselves not to gamble again.

Teaching real stories like that doesn't seem to have any effect because you are still gambling. They will think that if gambling destroys someone's life, why are there still so many people gambling like you did in front of them? I'm sure you know what I mean.

It is true that gambling at a young age has a bad impact on the future, but we as gamblers should be aware not to gamble in general in front of them so that they don't know much about the gambling activities that we do. Providing education alone is not enough if in our environment there are still many people who do gambling unless the environment has rules not to gamble openly in public places and this is known by many young people which will influence their minds, indeed the young generation does not have enough money to gamble but if they do bad things like stealing their parents' money was just for gambling like their parents did, I think they would think of every way to keep doing it if there were still lots of people gambling in the surrounding area.

Yeah, that makes sense but still you did your duty of giving them some warning that they shouldn't do it.

Another step is you're right. When we gamble, we have to stand on our words to them that they shouldn't gamble and we shouldn't do it in front of them for at least for them to see some example on us.

It's hard for those that can't do it but it's one way for them to give proof that you're giving them an example as an adult and a role model to them. As long as you've got a strategy or any other way of giving them some reminder will do.

"Can" they? Surely we can say that they could, there is a possibility of that happening but I believe that we can't really make it work, I believe that young generation has their own trends, looking back now my parents read a lot more books than I ever did, why? Because they didn't had computers, or even TV for a long time in my nation, my parents got TV in their home when they were young, like 10-12, so before that they didn't even had TV, nowadays we have our phones act like a tv and computer at the same time.

So trends and what the generation does change all the time, it's weird to act like you would be able to put something into them, like putting gambling habit into a new generation, I doubt we can, if they don't want to then they won't.

Old generation can raise gambling habit on young or current generation, if that old generation has achieved something in gambling. If persons grandparents or great grandparents simply gambled from time to time or did it frequently, then future generation wont have any impact because of that. But, if relatives have won in a lottery, got lucky and caught jackpot, or simply won a huge amount, then this might trigger future generation to start gambling. There is no such gene as «gambling». It is not passed on from generation to generation.

[famososMuertos]

Nowadays any young person with the use of social networks is exposed to so many dangers, that an "old" relative, maybe! is perhaps an infinitesimal part of the problem.

This issue has more to do with a social aspect than with gambling itself, but I ask you, the same does not happen with drugs, child abuse, etc.

So, the issue it is what we can do so that young people do not get involved with complex issues before their time, not just gambling, and everything has to do with the family and then cultural environment in which these children develop, and that is difficult, but if such situations exist in your community, unfortunately it is an aspect that in the long term will depend on the individual.

They are aspects of a coin toss, there are individuals who grow up in quite toxic environments, drugs, prostitution, gambling, but they get ahead.

You are right, there are no genes that can pass on gambling addiction from generation to generation unless they often hear gambling activities from their family discussions, it is possible that this can trigger to influence the new generation to make small bets in gambling, they hope to win high profits to be able to tell stories told his family that he could have the same luck as the older generation. I don't think the OP can persuade him to focus on other activities because he lives with a family that is already addicted to gambling, so it's hard to pull him out of the gambling habit his family has inherited.

[BitcoinTurk]

I think it is possible to answer this question with both yes and no because;

Yes, if the older generation constantly chats about the reason for their ongoing gambling habit and gambles in front of the new generation of children, they will indirectly transmit the gambling habit to the new generation. In particular it can be easily said that the older generation passed on their gambling habits to the new generation as younger family members grew up taking their older family members as a reference during childhood.

No, because today gambling continues to increase its popularity and appears in every aspect of our lives. In particular, we see that the new generation who can access easily to the internet, can now access gambling services more easily due to digitalized casinos and advertisements. In fact, while there is a minimum age limit for gambling in physical casinos, unfortunately, we can see that the new generation of children can access gambling more easily due to the fact that some of the online casinos don't comply with the laws and rules for gambling.

So, if we are to comment on the subject from a general perspective I think both answers are possible and can be supported with justified reasons. This is why I gave both answers and was able to give logical and valid explanations and reasons for both.

I agree with your opinion, that there are no genes or hereditary gamblers, but gambling is a habit of someone who has done it, whether for a long time or recently, and this behavior will make someone addicted because there may be two factors, namely hobby. as entertainment or at the same time making a profit so that you are addicted to continuing to do it.
Therefore, the older generation may have experienced what I said above, and this will trigger the younger generation to try gambling because they only saw or perhaps heard stories from the previous older generation.

There are some old people in my family which are paying cricket fantasy games. They usually talk about the games and their performance is matches almost daily. It is obvious that if any younger guy in family will listen about this, he will also be eager to know more about this. How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?

Normally, this could affect the young generations of their family. Although in the end it will still depend on each individual. However, when children often see their parents gambling or betting on anything and it becomes a routine, and they always witness it, the memory of that will be recorded in their memory. Moreover, if children know how happy their parents are when they get gifts from gambling, then they will also realize that gambling can give them money and make them happy. If it's just once or twice, it probably won't matter. but if they do it many times and the children see it firsthand, then this will encourage the children to have the same thoughts and the same desires.

Additionally, this  may also give addition influences for some certain other families, if one day they experience trauma as a result of this gambling, because sometimes in a family, they experience difficulties and in the end experience a little violence at home because their father or parents are abusive due to losing gambling and running out of money. So, actually, it will affect various things.

[Assface16678]

Well, it will depend on the age or parents. If they are doing gambling games, then they have the responsibility to guide the young age to do gambling; if the young age has a habit of gambling, then it's the older age's fault that they got influenced; if they don't want the younger age or their son to do gambling, then at the start they should not let the child be interested or even have an idea about the gambling game or gambling things. And yes, mostly children or this generation, most of them got influenced by old age or by their parents or grandparents. But even without the influence of old age, the child could be influenced easily right now by many means of gambling, like social media platforms, by their friends, and many more.

there may be no hereditary gamblers, but if a person is continuously expose to gambling related activities, he may form a habit as well. but if they will see it on an occasional basis, like when your football or basketball team is playing, i don't think such young person will be a habitual gambler. they will more likely see it as a form of family entertainment or bonding activity among family members.
also, if a young person may see his older family got addicted in gambling, and got so much troubles, either he will follow the steps of that person or change his path not to have the same kind of life. this will depend on the person himself, it is by no means in the genes of the person to be a gambler.

Old generation people spending time on gambling could have impact on the young generation. In my country old generation people can be seen playing cards around the beach region after their work. This is kind of leisure for them. Nowadays it is possible to see old generation playing in one part of the beach and the young generations on the next end of the beach. Young generation follow old genaration and as these are simple games it easily gets attracted.

The old generation people was totally addicted to the gambling because of the long involvement to the gambling,So the old generation will try to teach the gambling to their son or grandson to make the good impact to the gambling sites.If the gambler doesn't win any good money from the gambling sites will not share the gambling to the next generation and help the gambler to save from the loss.Actually it was loss by their opinion,but from my angle they had loss the big opportunity to became the richest person in the world.So the old generation who had their hand in the gambling site should help their next genertaion to earn some dollars from the same gambling sites.The old gambler should teach the good and bad tactics to the next generation people to manage their loss to the gambling sites.

It still depends on how the young generation would take the gambling activity they see or hear from the old generation. Even if the young generation only sees it occasionally, it doesn't mean they will only take gambling the same. They can either be more aggressive in gambling at an early age or not, the fact that they are exposed to gambling, it still has a  possibility for the young generation to get into gambling.

Well, it will depend on the age or parents. If they are doing gambling games, then they have the responsibility to guide the young age to do gambling; if the young age has a habit of gambling, then it's the older age's fault that they got influenced; if they don't want the younger age or their son to do gambling, then at the start they should not let the child be interested or even have an idea about the gambling game or gambling things.

But even without the influence of old age, the child could be influenced easily right now by many means of gambling, like social media platforms, by their friends, and many more.

In this age of information technology, children can easily gain access to gambling information. Online gambling advertisements are common on diverse social media platforms which which exposes the younger generation to gambling. The role of parents and guardians is to protect underaged children from practising what they have been exposed to. Now it would be wrong for the people who should be protecting these children to be the ones exposing them to gambling.

Some parents don't have control over how they gamble and the children are aware that they have gambling disorder. Some parents have gambled with money that was meant to be used for feeding or other expenses and the children are observing this unhealthy character. There are cases when parents send underaged children to go and stake games for them in some physical bet shops. Gradually these undergaged children will begin to seek means to gamble.

Children learn by observation, that is why you don't expose them to anything you don't want them to engage in. But this doesn't dispute the fact that grown-up children should be educated about gambling to help them overcome peer pressure.

First of all, if you have a gambling habit please dont show it to the family especially a kid , because the kid has a big curiosity they will ask anything including gambling unless your kid is 21+ at that age he probably knows already.

But the habit of gambling in my opinion is because of ourselves, not the older ones because if the young generation knows the truth, then they dont wanna touch it. But there are so many factors going to play, ads are everywhere and tech is easy to get.

There are some old people in my family which are paying cricket fantasy games. They usually talk about the games and their performance is matches almost daily. It is obvious that if any younger guy in family will listen about this, he will also be eager to know more about this. How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?

Usually the younger generation will get carried away with gambling games due to the influence of the environment in which they live. He often sees parents gambling, so he thinks it's a normal thing to do, so the steps we have to take are of course communication and education about the importance of studying first.

The fear is that if they quickly get to know gambling, their studies will be neglected and they will even stop because they are too comfortable with gambling. Because with gambling it will be easy to make money, this is what the younger generation thinks. In fact, behind gambling there are many effects that can be obtained and usually the younger generation doesn't care about this, only when everything has happened do they regret it and realize it. So the most correct solution is communication and continued education about gambling.

There are a lot of things that may induce interest of Gambling to a kid be the motivation be in your house or not. And not all gambling are the same. It's a good idea to restrict your kids from gambling as it's easily addictive. You can prevent them from gambling by limiting their financial reach and planning their schedule. Don't give them your cards and provide them pocket money just what they need.
As well kids should be taught about responsible gambling from early age be it on often overlooked fair games. Games played on fairs are where children start their first gambling. Sooner or later they would be introduced to gambling, it's better to develop them to make the best decision for themselves.

In order to properly manage younger need to create a suitable environment for them. And in this case those who are elderly members of the family should think about this matter. The younger always try to follow the older. When a family has a discussion about a topic almost most of the time, the kids will be encouraged to learn about that topic. I think if you can convince those members to point out the negative aspects of the discussion, then those people will definitely try to refrain from discussing the game. If they take precautions, it can stop its impact on the younger.

I am one of the younger guys here. How can I instruct older generation to avoid something ? If I oppose them, they term me as rebellious and tell me to shut up.
