Older men vs Younger boys in gambling, Which enjoys Gambling for fun the more?

[Marykeller]

Really speaking, older men are the ones to enjoy gambling most than the youth. Since they (old men) have experienced and accomplished the majority of life's goals, they know how to follow gambling without putting too much pressure on themselves to win a bet before giving up or even betting more than they can afford to lose.
Therefore, since they are no longer responsible for caring for and supporting their family(because their kids have all grown), their old age should be a time to relax and have more fun while gambling.

We are of the same mind that if we compare who among the young and old gamblers will make gambling a fun activity then I am sure that most people will mention that it is the old gamblers who are most likely to make gambling a place to find entertainment, the reason is because of course as you said that people who are old have gone through many phases in their lives in the sense that they are quite experienced in some things and also maybe most of them have succeeded in achieving their life goals. and another reason in my opinion is from the maturity factor where someone who is older they have a more mature mindset and can consider everything they see, so this allows them to have a good approach to gambling and not expect everything they see, And the other reason in my opinion is the maturity factor where someone who is older they have a more mature mindset and can consider everything they see, so this allows them to have a good approach to gambling and not expect to win because with a mature mindset they will be able to know that gambling is not the right place to make money, and with that obviously then most of the old gamblers will make gambling a place of fun by betting small amounts to complement and enjoy their retirement.

[ethereumhunter]

It is true that age is not benchmark for gamblers to have the right approach and attitude towards gambling, but on average gamblers who might gamble for fun are those who have had lot of experience and of course these are gamblers who are older.
For gamblers who are still relatively young, I sure they will tend to have big ambitions to make money or aim to get more wins for the sake of profit, this is reality that happens lot.
It just that the perception will be different if an assessment like this is carried out by people out there who don't know anything about gambling, those who only think that gambling is all bad will assume that whether young or old are the same.
You can ask people in your environment and ask them about things like this, the answer that will be given is that all gamblers are still gamblers, which is bad activity and there is no difference because the problems that occur will remain the same.

But for those of us who are also gamblers, we will be able to assess how experienced gamblers and gamblers who are still relatively new or young gamblers have their mindset and approach.
We will find ambitions and goals that are quite significantly different.

It could be that older people will often gamble because they have more experience in gambling so they can gamble just for fun and not to make money. They already know what the consequences will be if they gamble and try to make money, resulting in them losing a lot of money. They don't want that to happen, so they just gamble for fun to enjoy their free time. But those who are still young and don't have much experience in gambling may be too passionate about gambling, so they will try to make money from gambling. They should be able to realize that it will only cost a lot of money because winning from gambling is very difficult and not many people can get it. Young people should not gamble too often and fill their free time by doing other things that can benefit their lives positively. However, young people are vulnerable to losing self-control because they are often emotionally unstable when they experience defeat.

We, as gamblers, already know that we have to have the mindset that gambling is about getting pleasure, so we only need to enjoy gambling as an activity that provides pleasure. We don't need to try to win the gambling game because we know it will be difficult for us and we can lose a lot of money before winning. By realizing this, we will only try to gamble moderately and will not exceed the limits we have created.

you're right about this.

Most young people are so focused on business and building their carrier that if they even give in too much into gambling, it might become a serious setback to them becoming more productive at their workplace. The youthful period is the time you strive to getting things right and because for most cases, you're not all they financially strong its always more of building your financial life and ensuring that you make the most profitable investment. Looking for a means for a multiple stream of income could be the major reason behind most young person going into gambling but for the older folks, they've lived out most of their productive days and so gambling for them could be more of fun and bringing their wealth of knowledge in the said gambling into reality

One is careless and one is full of experience, who do you think will enjoy something as dangerous as gambling the most? The older men I believe, because there was a time when they are young and reckless too, they must have lost a lot and win a lot, in that older age, they will have regrets at heart, saying if they have knew.

I haven't seen a older gambler that start gambling at their older age, they already have a taste of gambling at their younger age, maybe in school or other, if you don't have passion for gambling you won't look at it when you are older.

This is why its harder for older men and women to accept Bitcoin, they are used to real estate and lands investment in the past, for many years of their lives and Bitcoin came around, it's already going to look like a piece of joke to them, that's why they are stubborn when you try to introduce Bitcoin to older people.

[Twentyonepaylots]

For me, older men tend to enjoy gambling more because. First, I think that they are financially stable, and for sure, they also have their savings with them. So whenever they lose, it is okay for them; they won't be frustrated when they lose. They can bet freely because they have the money with them. Also, I think the experience that they gained when they were younger affects them today. They are more mature and disciplined when they bet. They are not chasing money anymore; they just bet for fun.

In the case of the younger bettors, I think they can still bet for fun, but I do think it really depends on their money or financial capability. But most of the younger bettors tend to bet or gamble because they are building for the future. So it is really hard to gamble for fun. Especially if they always lose. So they need to take a break for some time and calculate the risk when they bet.

Like young men can not be more experienced than old one? Or be less careless ? I saw opposite situations, when younger people cared more about money, while older people start to "lose connection to clear mind" and do strange things. Older people can be reckless, because they have nothing left to lose. And at the casinos I mostly faced people 60+, while younger generation was more busy with things they can do, that older people arent able to do due to age or dont understand (modern technologies). It is impossible to tell who get more fun in gambling, as each one is an individual. For someone old-school slots with cherry is a lot of fun, when other finds modern design games boring.

Good point. And older men are retired from their regular daily jobs so they really have the free time to enjoy. And they are indeed wiser due to their years of life experience. Poor old men are often seen gambling, unlike young men who always try to allocate even a small budget in order to bet. Old men are more disciplined.

And since we belong at a young age, we can only try to bet responsibly and learn from the old men. However, a lot of us succumbed to temptations and only learned the hard way. Experience gives us the best learnings although it is not necessary for us to experience worse scenarios in life.

If older men have good self-control, they will be able to enjoy gambling as a place to have fun and not have the desire to try to win. Especially if they already have a lot of experience in gambling, they know the limits, so they will not exceed those limits. They know how to have fun by gambling, so they also won't use a lot of money because that could trigger them to lose self-control. They can also be disciplined with the time and money they spend gambling so that they don't chase after winning, and when it's time to stop, they can stop themselves.

Meanwhile, younger people who still have emotional outbursts when they experience defeat will be provoked to continue gambling because they cannot yet limit themselves to gambling properly. These are the ones who will use more and more money until the money runs out, and they don't realize that they have made a fatal mistake. But they must remember that young people will have financial difficulties because their finances are still limited. If they instead choose to make money from gambling, they will only be disappointed because they will experience more losses than wins.

There is always other side of the coin. I see that younger people are more financially independent than older people. It is exactly older people who face financial difficulties. While younger generation can always find a work, older people work work wherever possible, usually on a low paid positions. In such case, younger person would be more free, have more possibilities - could get more fun, when elder people are limited with finances, and they dont need much to get fun. Long story short - every gambling case is unique, every person that gamble has own experience.

Perhaps it could be said like that, but the older generation has savings, whether their pension money or money from other things they can use for gambling. And although the younger generation can get jobs more easily and earn more money than the younger generation, they have the obstacle of being unable to use their money wisely. But it all comes back to each person who will do it because even though he is of the younger generation, as long as he can use gambling well, he will not experience any problems while he is gambling. Conversely, if the older generation is provoked by their emotions in gambling, the older generation will not be able to enjoy gambling properly and will only spend more money.

In general I think it is not quite correct to compare two generations with such long period between ages. At 10, at 30 and at 60 completely different things are fun for us. People different age enjoy things differently. This is so individual, that it is impossible to create one true vision or get one correct answer. At different age people have different experience, different income, different interests. This is like running a questionnaire what taste better, Coca Cola or Pepsi.

Perhaps that is true because the age difference will also make their choices different. That's why everything will return to assessing each person at different ages. If everyone could have good self-control, they would all be able to get pleasure from gambling and be able to enjoy gambling well. They will not experience problems with self-control and can also stop gambling when they have had enough. But those who don't have good self-control will only experience the problem of losing more money, and the worst thing is experiencing a gambling addiction.

No. No way. Self-control does not make gaming safe for elderly guys. Like everyone else, they face hazards. Experience isn't immunity. Understanding gambling's psychological traps and addiction dynamics is more important than age. Though they recognize the limitations, the exhilaration of gambling might obscure them faster than they realize.

Stop simplifying and stereotyping younger people's financial prudence. They may be more emotional, but they can develop self-discipline. Instead of advertising gambling as a harmless pastime for the elderly, we should educate all ages about the risks and encourage responsible behavior. Knowing when not to gamble is more important than controlling it.

Since they (old men) have experienced and accomplished the majority of life's goals, they know how to follow gambling without putting too much pressure on themselves to win a bet before giving up or even betting more than they can afford to lose.

I understand your view and plight and I must say that you are constructive enough. But again, you brought that view out of a school of thought, however, in another school of thought, it might not be like that. This is why I conclude that whether you are right or wrong, we should base it on factors. We can't just assume all the good things you attributed to the old people and believe it is the same reason for gambling. What if they are gambling because they actually need money? This is why we have to treat it individually because what some old people are facing is what the young people are facing, and some young people are even more financially independent than some old people, so it can't be the same for all categories.

Nonetheless, I believe that the reason why they gamble has to be ascertained first, it is not all the old people who are financially independent, they might be pushed to gamble just like the women who appeared in one of the OPs on this gambling section of the forum. It is true that the minds of young people are on fire for worldly things, but their motives could vary as well.

As someone who deals with human behavior and age-related tendencies, I believe that maturity typically brings self-control. This may improve one's ability to enjoy gambling without its risks. I think its naive to think everyone can have good self-control.

Age, self-control, and gambling are not black and white, in my experience. Some gamble responsibly as leisure. Set limitations; follow them. However, some, regardless of age, cant resist the temptation. This is a complicated interaction of psychological, social, and maybe hereditary components, not just willpower.

You and I support fun gaming by identifying these differences and promoting responsible gambling for all ages. Education, awareness, and, most importantly, developing self-control-friendly surroundings without judgment are key.

That's entirely correct and I agree with it.
Well, I think they are done with enjoying gambling but because they are not reckless like you said, they are the ones who enjoy it more because there will always be no regrets after they are done gambling.
Also, they are in control because of their experience. They know gambling is just a game with a risk and it must not be taken seriously so they won't be spending too much for it. This goes back to the question of whether they enjoy it more. Young ones are reckless, so the chances of them gambling and crossing the line are there which afterwards is all stress because of losing.
I've seen old women play cards and I can see that when they go home despite losing, they are still smiling and can do their house chores after their game. Discipline. They know when to stop because they've been there and they know how to still manage to do the things at home and not sulk after a loss.
They could gamble for hours and it will have no effect on them, it's just entertainment for them.

Hi gamblers,

So, a particular discussion on the gambling board which I am part of; actually put this question into my head, and I thought I should ask the gambling community here, so we could possibly have some fun discussion it.

And the question is very simple, Between the older men (talking of from 60 years old and above), and younger men (talking of from 18 to 45 years of age) which of this category of men actually gamble for fun the more?

When you talk of someone in their 60s, its expected that such a person should be financially stable as they worked hard in their youthful days to enjoy their old age. And if they choose to gamble I believe its more of the social well being than the money and they could actually enjoy this kind of setup.

As for the younger men, I think the fact that gambling is more of a financial thing means if they are winning they will have the fun but if it turns out to be chasing loses then gambling cant be considered fun.

But between the two, who gets to have fun I think its not a age group thing but all depends on each independent individual!!

If I was to answer this question, I did say that the older men are more likely to be gambling for fun, than the younger men, and this is due to several reasons which I am not going to mention yet, but will see users who share in this same view of mine will be able to also come up with same reasons.

So, feel free guys and ladies, lets discuss.

I think I might have given the reason behind why older men have more fun above  👆👆

[ARTOIS]

The only difference in betting is experience and complete knowledge about this field. Age does not play any role. You may find a young person playing for fun more than an old person, especially if he has a large budget. As for the old person, he may be addicted and find no fun in it.
You might tell me that an old person does not give importance to money. How can that be? The only goal of betting is money

[kingvirtus09]

Honestly, I can't say which of the two feels that way more because there are young gamblers who have been gambling for a long time just enjoying themselves, and there are also old people who are playing gambling for the first time and not for fun. just the aim here.

So that means it's hard to predict. Now if I were to guess him, I think that even though I'm not sure, there are more old gamblers who just play for fun gambling, and only a few are a little dependent on gambling, because most of the old gamblers know how to manage themselves in gambling.
