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

[Webetcoins]

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.

You are basically talking about the influence of gambling on younger generations when they see someone else winning a huge amount and it's true, that children or younger people can easily get influenced if they see something that is considered to be a sort of achievement, and having a lot of money is nothing less than an achievement, and children don't often see how the money has been gained and whether the method is good or bad or they should do it or not because they aren't mature enough.

So, if children see someone becoming rich all of a sudden and if they ask how it happened and they are told that the person won a huge amount from gambling or a lottery, they will start having that image in their mind thinking that one can become rich through gambling or lotteries and they might become curious to try it whenever they can.

Yes, maybe it's like that because quite a lot of children become gamblers because their parents invite them to gamble, for example at family events, or these children see how their parents gamble on the computer or other media. So more or less the older generation can cause gambling habits in the younger generation.
And if you want to stop this gambling habit in your family, you can just not gamble in front of them and not discuss various things related to gambling. But this is not completely successful, because the younger generation in your family could gamble due to the influence of their playing environment.

Young generations or kids would copy what old people shows them or act in front of them, so yes gambling or discussing about gambling would somehow lead to it.
It is also their guardians or parents job to make sure that the kids or young generations know that there are things that old people tend to do that could be bad for them.
Sometimes even if they are in a bad environment kids or young generations only needs a good role model to understand the difference between good and bad habits that could destroy their future or health.

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 ?

The answer is an emphatic yes. We are influenced by what we see and what we hear, so as long as these young lads keep seeing and hearing the old folks talk and gamble on cricket fantasy game, they will certainly want to replicate what the elderly ones are doing.

You can help them by hiding all your "poisons" from them so they they won't get to see it. Educate them on gambling and make them see reasons why they shouldn't gamble until they've attain the appropriate age.

Yes, children can imitate their parents in gambling using the devices they have, especially if they have often seen their parents gamble in front of them. They will not have difficulty playing gambling games. By watching their parents gamble, they will slowly understand it because they also learn from their parents. They will probably often ask their parents how to play it so that they will understand more and know how to play it. Parents have to be really aware of this because children now know what they want and often they imitate what their parents do. As parents, they must be able to educate their children by providing good examples and an understanding of good and bad so that their children can understand it well.

That's right, and the influence of what we see raises curiosity and interest to get involved in the activity, especially if they see that the parents do gambling like it's very fun and also another thing that can attract them more when the parents get a win there then obviously at least they will also definitely ask and ask to be taught how to do it and how to get a win like them.

I think it's almost impossible for you to help them by hiding the "poison", it's quite difficult because obviously they are all part of a family that is always united under one roof, so maybe one thing that can be done is in my opinion to give the younger generation an understanding that this activity is really not recommended because of the very high level of risk, and you can also be able to understand that their age is still young in the sense that their journey is still long and they should focus on other things that are more positive for a better future. Give them an understanding that gambling can threaten their future, hopefully they can understand the understanding you provide for prevention.

If a parent wants their child to gamble like them in the future, that parent can discuss gambling directly in front of the child or gamble directly. If the matter is such that a parent or a family member gambles but that family member is addicted to gambling or is involved in gambling, then that member will try to hide the gambling from the family members. People in different families usually have different thoughts about whether their children will gamble in the future or not. Some family members may think that if their child gambles in the future, it will not be bad, while some families think that if their child gambles in the future, he may become addicted to gambling. Many families do not want their children to gamble.

Children really get influenced easily when they see someone who is rich, you are right. Even adults tend to gamble because they want quick money which is a negative notion which makes people to bet above their budget and lack proper management of their bankroll.

Regards to children, that youthful pulse is always there to over step bans. Seeing some who is rich and being exposed to gambling maybe from the father, they will want to try too. It is worse with children who are already use to soccer and are fans of a certain club especially clubs in EPL. This is why we see so much underage having access to gambling. Parents have to do certain things discretly and not unnecessary expose their children into things that they are not ready for yet.

I want you to stop for a moment and think about this- all the older people in your family who play these fantastic game addicted to it? How is their lifestyle are there in depth because of these games how about their relationship with their spouse and their kids? If everything is okay with them I see no reason why you should act as a gatekeeper to prevent the younger ones from learning a thing or two from them.

And even if they are addicted, they can still taught us the correct way of playing it, so that we will not end up to be like them. Some times it's better to open a topic like this because there is always a chance that the youngsters are going to stumble upon gambling one day.

We all know that addicted people are trying to hide their bad habits to the people that they know. Another scenario is, even if let say the older generation is well-disciplined and taught the younger ones the things that they should do, there is still a chance that they will change. This is how uncontrollable gambling is. Let us only hope for the best though that everything will be just fine.

if the Young generation keeps hearing and learning from the older person then there is no doubt
that in their maturity Gambling will be their key also to make money if not to use for enjoying .

because I believe that what we are hearing constantly becomes  positive impact even if this is truly a negative one .

Just like Liquor in my experience , My father keeps drinking in front of us since i was a baby and as I grow older,
I starts tasting beer(the remaining from their bottles) yet it taste so bitter , but eventually ? it turns interesting for me
and yes at the age of 12? I start drinking and become an alcoholic when i turn college.

this proves what you  said here that it will Influence young of what the old are doing .

I agree with you that children mostly take after their parents so parents should continue to exercise caution when it comes to gambling so these types of clubs don't have a bad influence. A parent has immense control over their children's experiences. Given that personality is mediated through decision making processes involved in important life outcomes it is likely that parents personality influences their children's life outcomes. Therefore if parents are not exposed to gambling this type of habit will not develop in children. It is natural for young people to follow someone who is rich because they tend to become rich by trying. But it is likely to lead them to more problems.

There are massive impact of activities performed by older generation on younger generations, individuals often choose that path which is discussed all the time in front of them because they think that as they find such way as a beneficial way then this will give them good reward too as everyone wants to examine their luck once in a life.

According to my point of view first of all order generation should not talk about gambling in front of their children and all those who find gambling as a bad activity and learn lesson from it will never share about it with their children and also will not leave their children to the same thing. If olders generation are unable to keep quite their gambling then younger should use their mind to not involved in such risky earning through which these older generation have lost their money and also people give less or no respect to those who become losser in gambling. Always choose path of those who advent technologies and make their life happy through better earnings instead of those who always face loss but never gain anything from gambling.

One thing with kids these days they're sensitive when it comes to learning, just like what the word imply charity begins at home, some children are into gambling not because they like it but right from their childhood they always hear the word bet, just imagine seeing your dad coming out from a betting shop everyday that child will also want to know what's happening there.
So in a family that always talk about bet it's likely that the child will grow up with that mentality even if they don't put it to practice at that early age that mindset of playing bet will always be with the child.
There's no much work to do, just keep your gambling habit a secret from the younger ones, I think you can also speak with the old ones in your family, they'll understand you. that's the best thing to do

And that is happening by many gamblers because parents serve as a mirror to their children and what they saw to their parents, they also gain interest in knowing it as well. Once there is a gambler in the family, we can also expect that some of the new generation will follow. But there is nothing wrong with that if there is any, as long as it is guided properly, they will never fall into addiction. And as long as the family members have no problem getting involved in gambling, then it was okay and I know many of us gamblers have the same history.

What children could see to their parents done is always right for them that's why there's a huge chance that they will follow the activity done by their elders so we should not get surprise about it since it happens all the time. If old people are not careful with their words or actions done for sure this can contribute for their your generation to participate since curiosity will come first at their environment and if they see the people near them especially their relative doing gambling then for sure they follow it to. I can say its bad for them if you think there's nothing wrong about it since engaging with gambling at early age can open up on other possibilities that they can do more worse than that.

If it gambling that they place bets on by staking money or other valuables on, then it is bad and unacceptable to have such discussions in the presence of kids, especially under-aged children, but if they are discussing other sports activities such as football or tennis without betting on them, we can say that they discussions are not a bad one since they are getting involved in this games for the fun and recreational activities aspect of things.
So it all depends on the aspect of the games that are involved in a discussion on in the presence of the kids, most time, kids or young guys who want to gamble may not even be interested in such discussion since it may sound boring to them since he wants, to experience the whole thing first-hand personal involvement.

Do you really think the younger generation listens to what the older generation is saying? It seems to me that they don't care at all when there is so much entertainment for every taste around. The older generation has seen nothing but chess, so they too enjoy today's variety of entertainment and they have a right to discuss it. Besides, it is not easy to understand Fantasy games even for an adult, let alone a teenager.

That's what I meant before, that the tastes of the younger generation and the older generation will definitely be very different so it's impossible for the older generation to influence the younger generation, even though it's possible if they have the same hobby, namely gambling, because it's not easy to make someone become a gambler without their desire. in him to gamble let alone learn from the older generation.

I'm sure not many of the younger generation want to gather in a place with the older generation because they have very different tastes in games and the conversation is very difficult for the younger generation to digest, that's why most gamblers from the younger generation will only be influenced by children their own age. have the same tastes and the same chatter in their discussions about gambling.

[fullhdpixel]

This is why we see so much underage having access to gambling. Parents have to do certain things discretly and not unnecessary expose their children into things that they are not ready for yet.

It's indeed the mistake of the parents if the children are exposed to gambling or any other activity that isn't suitable for their age because parents need to make sure that their children are only involved in things that are good for them and their upbringing because when they grow up if they are seen doing something wrong, society won't blame the children for what they have done, but it will blame the parents that they couldn't raise the children in a good way or teach them what's good and what's bad.

So, the mistakes that parents make when their children are very young will have a great effect on their future upbringing. That's why, as you said, parents should be careful that they don't do anything like that in front of their children and they should also keep an eye on the activities of their children.

[cafter]

if the older people in a same house talk about sports(not gambling) is normal they will just talk about what player how well played they very less often talk about I betted this much amount on that tea, etc.
and I don't think the younger generation or anyone will care about sports if he/she personally don't like sports,
but if the younger person like that sport and know a lot about that game and players then may be he/she also starts to bet on sports.
