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

[BitcoinPanther]

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.

The thing is, a topic being regularly discuss can cater interest from the people who are hearing it.  Curiosity always rise up when some unfamiliar thing is discussed again and again.  So I won't be surprise if a person even if in the first place was not interested asking question about the topic being discussed again and again. 

Same goes with an activity where a younger generation often witness their parents, uncles, aunties or grandparents does.  Like drinking and smoking, gambling is established to be somehow hereditary or kids mimicking adults activities especially when these adult often make the younger people to be their errand guy for betting/gambling.

At this time without us even telling, someone already knows about gambling, as well as the younger generation. With the rapid world of technology and digitalization, people can get the information they want. And at this time who is the young person who does not have a cell phone and has a social media account. I think almost all young people have cell phones and social media accounts. Which while related to the advertisement of this gambling site is like a mushroom scattered everywhere, so it is impossible if young people today do not know about gambling at all.


So no matter how much we hide our gambling activities, this still cannot prevent our children from entering the world of gambling. But even so, openly showing our gambling activities to a child is not a good thing to do.

I think you explain a different discussion of this topic, but I agree that the technological era can have a negative impact if users misuse technology to access gambling, the main influence is because of gambling advertisements in any application and very easy access to online gambling. So we cannot blame the older generation in this case, because they do not intend to influence the younger generation to follow in their footsteps, they definitely want the younger generation to become successful entrepreneurs to make their families proud, so it is advisable for the older generation to hide gambling activities from the younger generation so that they affected by gambling at a young age.

There are many ways can cause someone convinced to become a gambler, not only because of old people or their parents.

If he live in a country where gambling is legal, he can see the gambling ads almost everywhere.
Social medias, articles, or any sites sometime accept gambling promotion, if not the user can promote it by themselves.
Friends, colleagues etc also can introduce someone to gamble.

Everything has a risk, including "life".

Talking about kids, they'll have multiple factors, in future, that'll lead them to gambling, but they can be stopped or trained not to fall for those factors. You can't say that all the kids or adults in gambling legalized countries would venture into gambling, due to ads. When we train kids the right way, it helps kids to follow the right route of life. So, parents need to help the government in the fight for gambling addiction in the life of growing kids. If nothing is been done, they'll go through a difficult time, growing up and won't be able to resist the ads like you said. Hence, in the case of OP and his kids or younger siblings, it's important to teach or help them avoid these people while still toddlers. And, they've been numerous contributions on what should be done with the adults, who tend to alter the future of these kids or influence them in the wrong way. In all the responses, risk is also involved. Since we can't determine the relationship between Op and his elderly neighbors or friends. Which results to the kids, listening to their conversations. When these kids are allowed to sit or play around environs where gambling is constantly a topic of the day, it'll affect their mental health and victimize them into falling for gambling adverts. They all fall in same category as kids that watch their dads gamble or follow them to gambling rooms or shops.

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 ?

Don't stop the younger generation, what you need to talk to is with the old ones that whenever they talk about cricket games and bets, they should look at their surroundings and don't talk if the young ones are on their sides.

That's why if you're going to stop the young ones, they'll be even eager to know what's happening and will try to gamble and bet on cricket games. But if you tell it to the old ones, they will be aware that they shouldn't talk about it when there are kids around them.

The online gambling had huge advertising using the social media,before only the rich people do the gambling in the separate place in the online mode alone.So the gamblers was hide from their family members,they will go to casino without knowing of the family members.Old gamblers had huge space to get away from the influence of the family members in the gambling by the gamblers.The gamblers who had settled their entire life using the gambling will surely share their idea of gambling to their younger generations.The old generation was the root cause of the fifty percentage of younger generations to the gambling community.The old generations who loss money from gambling site won’t teach their younger generation.

No one would just start placing bets on a sport that they like if they are not into gambling in the first place. So, young people hearing elders talking about a certain sport will only make them curious about the sport and the names being taken and that wouldn't at all persuade them to start gambling. A person would start gambling on sports events once they grow up and have an urge to gamble in general and if they like a certain sport and have been following it for a long time, they might start betting on it.

So, there should not be problems of any sort if old people or elders are talking about a sport or a game, but it can be a problem if they are talking about gambling or placing bets and stuff in front of young children who are sitting among them or are listening to the conversations as that can make them think about what they hear.

This seems like a stupid question sorry to say, you started with a story that in your family the older ones use to talk about gambling and you also said that it's obvious that if any younger guy in the family listens to them the younger one can get carried away and start gambling too so why are you asking how to stop such thing?

You already know that not talking about gambling or not gambling in front of the younger ones will limit the exposure to gambling, isn't it? That's why I believe this is stupid, young people easily copy the holders ones either good or bad that's why we need to be a good example for the little ones.

When you see a kid out, behaving like a thug, the first thing that comes to mind is his home, someone inside must have brought the kid up this way without realizing the consequences, gambling isn't something you want to pass on to your kids.

Unfortunately this habit can be introduced to younger generations by the behavior of their parents and other people around them, but in many countries areas where gambling is allowed is often restricted except for online sites. Care should be taken not minimize exposure to gambling related activity, but if you think about certain sporting events there is a lot of this sort of advertising around. You also need to keep an eye on the sort of content they are finding on sites like Twitch as well, which can often have people playing slots or other casino games, even the microtransaction or loot boxes type betting within normal games can lead someone to pick up these sort of addictive habits.

Is it too simplistic to blame older people for youth gambling? Consider the complexity of this change. An instrument of democracy, the internet has fostered addictive behaviors like gambling. Not only the old passing on habits to the young, but a cultural transformation where digital ease meets human fragility. While seniors may have traditional gambling experiences, they did not create the current situation. Respect for the elderly should not blind us to the intricacies of technological impacts on social behavior. Isn't their quiet due to shame or a wish to protect the young from their mistakes? We must balance critical analysis with empathy. Responsible gambling and risk awareness should be promoted, especially online. We must go from generational blame to collaborative responsibility. How can society teach kids and adults about the hazards and appeal of internet gambling? Open communication and reasonable procedures are the solution, not blaming others.R

The easy accessibility of online gambling sites can increase the risk of younger individuals being introduced to gambling at an early age. Parents play a crucial role in minimizing exposure and educating younger generations about responsible behavior regarding gambling. Sports events and online platforms can inadvertently expose young audiences to gambling-related content. The integration of microtransactions and other forms of in-game betting within video games can contribute to the normalization of gambling behaviors.

It's essential for old people to be vigilant and monitor the content their children are consuming, taking proactive steps to limit exposure to potentially harmful material. Raising awareness about the potential risks associated with gambling and promoting responsible gambling behavior is essential in mitigating the impact on younger generations.

Most of the time that's the thing that can happen to those young adult,  if you stop them they will be more eager to continue and it can only create collusion and possibly a big gap between you and them, as they will think that you are preventing them to learn more about it and to win a possible decent amount to enjoy.

Otherwise you should focus yourself telling to those adults who are already engaged with gambling not to talk about it in front of those young people  to prevent interest to build inside them. Maybe they are more open and will listen to your sentiment.

Are they aware of gambling and your involvement in it? If not, they might not have connected this cricket fantasy game to gambling yet. However, if they discover the association of these two, their curiosity about gambling may arise.
I believe that it is inevitable to be unaware of gambling, but you can guide them on being disciplined and aware of associated risks.

So no matter how much we hide our gambling activities, this still cannot prevent our children from entering the world of gambling. But even so, openly showing our gambling activities to a child is not a good thing to do.

I apologize if what I said was inaccurate and a little far from the discussion this time. And I also agree with what you said that "we cannot casually imply that the older generation is the one who gave rise to gambling habits in the younger generation."
And in my opinion, which parents and whose parents want their children to become gambling addicts, even though the parents are gamblers. And even a thief does not want his child to become a thief too, he wants his child to school and be able to achieve his goals.


However, even so, I still often find some parents who play gambling in public and open places, such as at the ronda post or in the market and on the side of the road. and when this continues, it will provoke the younger generation to do the same.

[Agbe]

Op if you win $100,000 in a bet with small amount of money, will you tell your family younger ones to play gamble? Or if you see them playing games will you stop them? We have to be sincere. And the best way to stop the next generation to stop gambling, it must from you, you have to stop gambling and preach the gospel to them to stop and make sure that the up coming ones in the family do not see anyone one playing gamble in the family because if they see then definitely the youth generation must be affected. And that is why it is good to not to play gamble in the present of the younger kids.

[TheUltraElite]

I believe that it is inevitable to be unaware of gambling, but you can guide them on being disciplined and aware of associated risks.

I strongly advocate this. But maybe at younger ages their minds are not mature enough to accept that gambling leads to more losses than wins and they should not gamble if they want to conserve their money in a safe manner. Gradually they can be taught about the math behind the gambling scenario and how the casinos always win if played for the long run.

Its tough but like sex education and adulthood, gambling should be explained to youngsters, with the rise of fantasy sports and different forms of "veiled gambling" - this is important.

You are right, because someone who is familiar with gambling tends to do gambling regardless of others and does not care about the advice or direction of others. because their thoughts have been washed by gambling, they are addicted to gambling and even if someone forbids it, it could be that a person who is addicted to gambling argues with the person who forbids it.

This often happens, because it is not easy to get rid of the thoughts that have been controlled by gambling. all they think about is winning in gambling and they don't think about the losses they have incurred, with a lot of gambling will result in losses not wins because the chances of greater defeat cannot be hidden. So if those who are old are still fond of gambling, I hope this will not happen to their children.

If you are the gambler with more familiar with the game than the techniques,So you can have huge possibilities for winning the game.The gambler should not hear the advice of the other gamblers,because no one know their own position and holding money compared to himself.So use the money which you hold as free money into the gambling site.Because many gamblers had use to loss their money which holding for important reasons.If the old generation was in gambling still their old ages,the younger generation of that family automatically get into the gambling was the common thing.

Unfortunately I'm not a gambler who understands gambling techniques properly, so I can't get continuous profits because I also only believe in luck in gambling not really believing in tricks or patterns in gambling. do you believe in tricks or patterns in gambling to get easy wins? because as far as I know there are people who have tricks and patterns to get easy wins in gambling but what I see is that they always get defeated, it's good that they keep thinking positively but the number of times it doesn't always produce.

Even if I was a gambler who understood gambling techniques I would not teach my children or family members, because even though this is profitable but not a good thing, so I myself always hide my gambling activities because I don't want my family members to know about this. because I think they will be disappointed if they find out that I do gambling activities even if it's just on weekends.

Or they can lose a lot of money to the point that they reach the bottom. In such situation the older member of the family becomes a scare story that you tell youngsters to warn them what can happen if they do what that person did.
-remember uncle Joey? He lost his car in a bet and had to ride a bicycle to work whole winter!

So, bottom line is, if you're an unsuccessful gambler you will not cause young people to gamble because they won't see you as a role model, just like we don't see drunkards as role models.

[tusandii]

Hiding gambling activities from other people or with your own family is good and there are also bad impacts, but I focus more on the positive impact if you gamble in secret, it is for the good of your children to avoid gambling and later when they are adults they will have a healthy lifestyle without gambling. .
This effort breaks bad family habits from being passed down to the next generation because gambling, even though it is considered entertainment, will still have a bad impact on those who do not have control over their own thought patterns and once again I appreciate your efforts that you will hide this activity forever and keep it away your family from gambling.
