Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling?

[Lanatsa]

If I find this, I will most likely feel quite worried, considering that he is too old so it is no longer the time to continue being involved in gambling. It would be better if this time was used for more positive things, such as chatting with family and worshiping to get closer to God. Indeed, when talking about death, whether young or old, death will come at any time. However, if you are old, your life expectancy is relatively small. So what's wrong with using it for better things at that age?

This gambling is too risky, even those who have income can lose their income in an instant, let alone those who don't have income, where do they want to gamble? It's better if, for example, he has some savings, what if he doesn't? Will he beg his children?

There's no way that you couldnt really be worried because we do know on what gambling could bring and this is why it would really be always best that you should really be watching their moves and telling them
that they should really be careful on dealing with gambling which we do know that it could bring out that devastation if they would really be letting or making themselves that engaged too much.
Gambling isnt bad as long they would really be that responsible towards their actions on which it would really be just that normal that you would be having those kind of worrying because we do love our
parents or grandparents on which if they do come into a point that they are dealing with gambling then it is really just that a normal approach or reaction to be that skeptical on what they are doing.

A woman (elderly) was spotted in a gambling shop seriously making predictions on virtual gaming and with the way she plays it appears that she has been gambling for a long time now. But what really caught people's attention after spending much time gambling for that day  was her reaction which expresses frustration and disappointment from someone that must have lost a pool of cash to unfavourable gambling prediction's for the day.

You will find it difficult to see a woman gambling in a physical casino in my country, and when you see one, people are always surprised. I know there is nothing bad about women gambling, but I don’t just like the idea. I do feel somehow when I see women gambling, especially if I notice they are addicted to gambling. From the picture that you posted, maybe the woman has gambled beyond her limit, and maybe she doesn’t have anything left with her. That's why she is frustrated. Both men and women do get addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is not one-sided, so don’t think because she is a woman she can’t be addicted.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

When men gamble in my society, most people do see gamblers as irresponsible people in the society. Since men do gamble more and you will hardly see women gamble in my country, whenever anyone is seen to be a gambler, people believe the woman to be a useless woman. They believe women like that don’t have anything to offer their children, because when they see their child to be a gambler, how will they even caution the child since they are also gamblers.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler

Seriously I won’t like the idea of my mum to be a gambler, most especially if she is addicted to gambling, because I know what gambling can cause if you are addicted to gambling, if she is gambling for fun, and I know she is not addicted to gambling, then I don’t have any problem with that, but if she is addicted to gambling, am going to complain about that.

[Sanugarid]

Actually that's what is happening to my mom now and I'm not worried about her because I know she's a responsible gambler. If you see that your elderly mother can handle gambling, why wouldn't you be comfortable if that is her hobby. We can't avoid worrying and that's normal because we love them, we don't want them to be harmed.

There are places where it's  normal and a regular thing seeing elderly women gambling in a gamble shop but in this part of the world it is uncommon and for that it seems weird seeing such an elderly woman seriously gambling and that's why many persons are pondering about her engagement in betting.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

I am lucky because my mother is not an active gambler, and if my mother were an active gambler then I would definitely forbid her from continuing to do that, what I am worried about of course is her health because women are old, susceptible to disease and just imagine if she gambles continuously then she will definitely forget to take care of herself, money can be earned but health is very difficult to maintain, therefore take care of your parents wherever they are, love them and try to talk from heart to heart when you find out that your mother is a gambler, make her aware. Parents, especially mothers, usually need attention, but she gambles because she feels he doesn't get attention from her children.

[usekevin]

Why should I not be comfortable if she is gambling responsibly. But I will prefer she should do it online instead of offline using betting agent. Because as I saw that image, that is a betting agent shop and I will not like to see my mother there. This is because in my country, only young guys are common in such a place and that would be an embarrassment for my mother and me. But if it is online that she is doing it, I will not be worried at all if she is gambling responsibly.

The gambling industry was spread with many people in your own family.So even your brother or mother or father may do the gambling in your circle gambling store.The OP should not get embarrassed by this,if she do the gambling with some responsibility will be good,So he will bring the money to your family.Many countries woman doesn’t involve into the gambling,because it was their own belief.Some online gambling site was scam,she is doing gambling using the agent.So this will be the safer one for her compared to the some scam online site.

Actually that's what is happening to my mom now and I'm not worried about her because I know she's a responsible gambler. If you see that your elderly mother can handle gambling, why wouldn't you be comfortable if that is her hobby. We can't avoid worrying and that's normal because we love them, we don't want them to be harmed.

Why you are not giving her gender equality and doesn’t allow them to play the game which he love to be with it.Only thing you need to worry is she is playing with experience or doing the random betting.Because the loss will hurt you more than she playing in the gambling site near your circle.

If an older person plays a lot in a casino, it is up to them to know how to play. Furthermore, from what I have seen in the behavior of the elderly, they are always in favor of things that can benefit them a lot. If they are a winning person, there is no problem. because he is making money, the problem is when a person like that Starts to lose money and sees things in a different way, for example if he is thinking about doing something else besides playing in the casino and he can't because his time Consumes everything there, And the elderly people do not give much Importance to that , because where they feel good, they are still there.

In the case that we are playing in a casino , we younger people look for more games to entertain ourselves, but the majority of older people go to a casino to play games alone and they are very passionate about it, it is difficult to tell themselves to stop doing that Activity , Because of what I have always Said , as an elderly person , it is like when I was a child, they always do what they enjoy without worrying about anything, you have to take care of them a lot, because if they spend the money for themselves, buying Medicine or something like that is What I don't know. must do.

[taufik123]

When he gambles just for fun and doesn't turn into an addict, it's only natural.
But when it frustrates him and always wants to try—and try again to win, it has to stop.
It is not good for someone who is already elderly to feel stress because of gambling, this interferes with their health indirectly.

After all, why should he continue to gamble, as a family or child, he has to give him restrictions and understanding that it is not good.
It's better to do gambling casually, just as entertainment, not for a place to earn income.

[Richbased]

OP one of the things that pushes people, be it young or old into gambling is when they eventually win or someone predicted a game for them and they actually won and maybe it might be a period when they're experiencing some financial constraints and as a result, the money they won aided them alot so that's what causes more interest of people be it young or old.

Sometimes, betting codes are even advertised by market women who maybe would have won through the source that brought the booking code and you know market women doesn't hide things as anything or any information that comes to them, they publicize it to everyone in the market.
This case of this woman is the picture is rather unfortunate because from the look of things, the woman have been deeply involved in gambling to an extent that whenever she loses bets she's very expressive and this is a very bad habit as this can lead to some health challenges like HBP as a result of shock in a situation when she play and couldn't win.

It's really gonna be so bad if her children finds out that she's this deep in gambling if at all the children is not aware that their mom is deep in gambling. Our parents doesn't need to get involved in things that will jeopardize our future as such should disengage themselves from anything that will pose as a threat to the well being of the children in the future

This specific image led some Nigerians to ponder why an elderly woman would engage in betting. Questions arose, with some wondering whether the woman aimed to elevate her blood pressure or if she had used shared contributions for virtual betting.

I will be worried because as and elderly person their some health condition attached which is almost inevitable, high blood pressure appears most time in the elderly age, so gambling is an emotionally thing, my mother gambling habit might affect her if she loses money in a gamble, just for instance is she play a game that's remaining only one event to be successful and suddenly the game lost, this may trigger blood pressure, ordinarily am not against anyone gambling but because the nature of gambling, no how responsible someone is in gambling if you lose you most be pained, you will want to gamble more to win and as this is going on, the emotional stress becomes unbearable which is not ideal for elderly people.

[Fundamentals Of]

There are old people who are fond of gambling. That's just the way for them to spend their days. Since they don't have work anymore or even heavy responsibilities in their households, many of them can spend time playing games.

There's no problem with this if they are only gambling according to what available extra savings they have. Many old people are living off their pensions and savings. Some are even earning from the businesses they've established. But if an old person doesn't have extra savings, gambling isn't for him.

I have yet to see any such picture in our country of an old lady regretting losing a gamble like this. But when it comes to men, I believe it. I also believe that there is no difference between women and men in different countries of the world. There is no age requirement for gambling. As a result, women or men are conducting gambling in all those places. Looking at the picture you mentioned, it is very easy to imagine how disappointed that woman is. But it seems to me that gambling for the elderly carries more health risks than financial risks, so a gambler should be careful about his or her health.

[dothebeats]

Let them have it. They know so well that they will be losing money to gambling, but they continue in doing it thinking that it might be their lucky break that time. I wouldn't feel any sympathy to people who know full well that their actions could potentially harm them or anyone around them, especially if they faced the consequences. It's just another human making poor life decisions and getting the results of what their actions are. I'd certainly not feel comfortable seeing someone in distress or frustrated because they lose, but I'd say I'll be fine with it.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

Maybe if that happened to my mother. I would strictly forbid it because gambling in old age will increase her blood pressure and this is very dangerous for her health. As a child who really cares about his mother's health condition, of course I will forbid it and it's better to be at home doing more useful activities or watching TV at home because even though I gamble I won't let my mother gamble, let alone gamble carelessly. Especially if she doesn't know what it is before what about gambling is the same as it is just a waste of money.

Indeed, gambling can be used as a medium of entertainment for elderly people, especially if they meet at a gambling table and meet old friends so that elderly people will continue to gamble even if their money is tight, but I don't recommend this to my mother because after all I will entertain him in other ways or give him enough money so as not to make him gamble.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

Every individual is allowed to gamble, both male and female are allowed to gamble as gambling is a form of entertainment. The only time I'll be angry with my mum gambling is when she's not gambling responsibly and she has become an addicted gambling. If she's addicted, she'll be using money that was supposed to be used for other things to gamble. She might use money that was supposed to be used for cooking to gamble and she'll lose all and become frustrated.

If she's not over gambling, she is not addicted and her gambling is responsible, I'll be comfortable with her gambling. I might follow her to the game shop sometimes so I can keep my eyes on her to make sure she's not gambling irresponsible as that's why her gambling activities will become dangerous to her and her family. Some mother don't have self control and it can make them become very irresponsible.

[reagansimms]

I would be very worried and not at all comfortable if my elderly mother was still actively gambling, especially since she deliberately came to a gambling shop just to fulfill her desires as seen in the picture. I don't want my mother's habits to make her depressed, her mind disturbed by the defeat that befell her. Due to frequent trips to the gambling shop, household work was neglected and she also didn't have time to take care of my father.
People her age are no longer worthy of betting in gambling places, especially if she is an old woman who has big responsibilities at home. As a child, I always sent money monthly to my mother so she could spend more time at home instead of having to work to earn money herself.

[AprilioMP]

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

It wouldn't be comfortable if I found my mother gambling like the person in the picture.
From the picture, an elderly woman says you come to a gambling place to gamble traditionally, not online.

For me, it's not a good sight even though it was done of his own free will. Even if an elderly woman wants to gamble, then using an online betting site will get a different assessment.
Instead of not knowing how to gamble online so he comes to see a betting agent, he can ask someone else he knows to teach him if asking for help from a child is not possible for him.

Gambling is for people who have a history of unhealthy illnesses, especially people who have heart disease and high blood pressure, except for healthy people without a history of any disease after being examined.

When he gambles just for fun and doesn't turn into an addict, it's only natural.
But when it frustrates him and always wants to try—and try again to win, it has to stop.
It is not good for someone who is already elderly to feel stress because of gambling, this interferes with their health indirectly.

After all, why should he continue to gamble, as a family or child, he has to give him restrictions and understanding that it is not good.
It's better to do gambling casually, just as entertainment, not for a place to earn income.

In my opinion, it's best to stop if you're still gambling in your old age, because even if it's just for fun, it will cause losses later, but what you say is true, if it turns into an addiction, maybe that's understandable, but what you have to pay attention to is don't until he loses self-control which makes him addicted to gambling because this is not a good thing, even if the aim is just to have fun, but every once in a while he might feel annoyed with his gambling which always loses, and this triggers them to become stressed.

if they gamble once a day, maybe they can be said to be addicted, even though the goal is just to have fun, and if they do it every day, even if only once a day, in my opinion, it could have an impact on their thinking and behavior, which could be changes, therefore in my opinion it is better to limit their gambling, don't gamble too often and always remind them about the big risks that will occur if they become addicted to gambling. because if that's what makes them happy then it will be difficult to make them aware.

[bakasabo]

If I see my elder relatives gambling, I would really be worried. But not because they gamble (they are adults, they make their own life decisions, I have no right to forbid or manipulate their lives), but because they have turned into gambling to solve financial problems. If they gamble just once or rarely, then it clear that they do it for fun (but that is also a tiny problem, that instead of searching fun in gambling, they should search for having fun win activities with family or close people). If they gamble for big amounts and often, then there is something about money. And it is my duty to help them, than they would search for solution in gambling.

[ethereumhunter]

No one will feel comfortable or worried if they find out that their mother is a gambler who has been gambling for a long time. They will try to make their mother stop gambling because it is no longer appropriate to do so, so their children will try hard to convince their mother to stop gambling. We don't know what will happen to a mother who often gambles because it could also be related to her health or finances. The mother may lose her money in a short time, which will affect her finances or her health will be affected because she has experienced losses from gambling. Moreover, older people should realize that gambling is no longer the place to seek pleasure or to make money because there will be many problems that can arise from gambling.

[Agbamoni]

There is no law stating that gambling is for the young or for men only. So that leaves me to a simple and straight forward answer. Which is yes. I will be comfortable seeing my elderly mom gambling as long as she is not yet, and addict and she is gambling responsibly. If on the process of gambling she got lucky and won very big in it. Big to the extent that she does not have to gamble anymore, and she is rich. Will you not follow her and enjoy the riches?

Instead of getting disappointed when you see your mom gambling you can teach her the best gambling options and also teach her how to play safe when gambling. Especially to know when to stop gambling.
