Does having children have an influence on gambling habits?

[TopTort777]

They still, it will serve to them as a reminder that they're no longer a single guy and they have responsibilities and obligations to cater. That's why for single and married gamblers, they need to remember the situation that they're on right now and their life is no longer their life because of the life choice that they make. Speaking of the married gamblers, they know that marrying someone is going to shoulder them another life and that's why they need to prioritize that than themselves.

It sounds like before becoming a parent, every gambler is not a responsible person No doubt that my life has changed after becoming a father. First years of being a parent I have dedicated most of free time to a kid. But having or not having children does not mean that this is a line when you have to be responsible and not responsible gambler, and have other obligations and supporting family. It not like that before marriage and kids I led carefree life, and all of sudden, after leaving doors of maternity hospital, a switch turns in me and I become a completely different person. What has changed, are gambling sessions (become shorter) and their regularity.

this is about obligation and when you have children there are lots of obligations that needs to be in and that will effect the regular gamblers life when he was still single and when he is married and has a family.
in the past that he can lose all his day job pay in gambling ? this time nope they will not because instead of losing they need to keep those money for Milk and foods .
and for me this will come how good that person is , if he did no change even when having family then he is not a deserving parent .

Totally agree, friend, it is because of the lack of self-control that gamblers can become addicted to gambling and we can see that addicts will become more aggressive when they see the opportunity that they might get, but it is not certain that they will get it easily, that's why they play excessively without limiting the money he will use for gambling.
And especially if the gambler already has children and a wife, if he is really unable to maintain good control related to gambling, then his family will definitely experience quite severe suffering, so it is truly a shame if a father or husband cannot limit and maintain control well because his children and wife will also feel extreme sadness over this carelessness.

Lack of self-control in gambling just makes someone used more money to playing gambling and that means, he will lose his money. He will difficult to recover his losses in gambling if he lose and difficult to win in gambling. He will gets his emotion becomes high and becomes more aggressive because he feels that he can recover his lose. He will not thinks that if he lose his self-control, that can caused him playing gambling excessively and lose his money without have a chance to gets his money back. That will impact his financial in his family because he will used his family's money to playing gambling without thinks about his family needs. Once he lose his minds, that will be the time for him to lose much money and his family will gets the impact because of his carelessness.

That's right, many gamblers are willing to spend their money to bet in the gambling games they play because they don't have good self-control and when they have experienced a lot of losses, they will try to get up and recover. Their condition is very difficult and requires struggle and process. it will take a long time to recover from this condition.
And what you say may be true. The gambler is thinking whether he also needs to use money from his family's needs to gamble because he no longer has spare money to gamble, so the only way is to use money from his family's needs.
And from this bad common sense, it is certain that the gambler will harm himself and his family, and his wrong actions can harm everyone around him.

Gambling is not for the poor people.

Well Kinda agree with this tho everyone can gamble but in this position of family I would consider to pay everything for the family needs first rather make gambling first

It's good that his wife knows that her husband is a gambler and I hope she also knows the risk of the gambling. In case, someday, her husband loses a big amount in gambling there will be no surprises for the wife as she already knew that her husband was risky money and it could turn out that he could earn a jackpot and if not, he could also lose all his money. Its better for both partners, husband and wife, to know each other activities and they both should have mutual trust between them.

Yeah I know the wife knows that his husband plays gamble and he set a monthly budget so he can't play more than that and he actually one of the members stake.com signature campaign. When family is build up we also need build a trust and I agree with you

Sure gamble is one of the biggest challenges many Nigerians are facing today,what ever you are doing today you need to apply it with sense because when it happens nobody can assist you even if you have assistant they will laugh at you,why am saying this as a family man you should know you have much responsibilities to take care of your home and reduce bet
A man got married he wasn't taken care of his wife and kid because all his money are being use for beting and in many Nigeria hospital they doesn't treat patents without money and his wife  was sick this man run around to get small money to deposit before treatment,no one accept to give him due to his gambling life style finally this young promising young girl of 28 died just like that and aboundoned her child ,let this be a leason to us ,we shouldn't trust bet 100% percent,you can play small if at all you want to play ,play bet with sense and also remember you have responsibilities and try as much as you can to save , because when it happens, nobody will come for you ,your children we be your power when you are old ,so try as much as you can to put them in school don't use all your money for bet
Stop the harbit of beting so your family can grow .

When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?

They would most likely want to change for the better since they have to provide and be there for their kids. But honestly it still depends on the person. If even after becoming a father and he still doesn’t learn how to be more mature and careful then maybe he just isn’t a responsible person in general and nothing not even a family can change that.

for me the only important thing here is that how that gambler change her habit once
they have their own child because of the obligations and the responsibilities that they  might
be missing once they continue dealing with gambling.

When I became a father, my life changed. I realized that now not only my well-being depends on me, but also the well-being of my family. That's why I've become much more careful in gambling. I realized that risking too much means jeopardizing not only my finances, but also the future of my loved ones. Now I prefer safer ways of entertaining and investing to ensure our family has a stable future.
My children are my main treasure, and now it's very scary to take risks, you can say it has greatly influenced my style of playing poker, for example.

Yes, being a father means you are the head of a family. and some people will depend on you so if you are involved in any bad addictions they will have an effect on your family. Especially addictions like gambling will attract kids a lot and kids will get involved in it very quickly.  So when one becomes a father he should be careful and not harm the family for his own temporary happiness. So it is better to keep yourself under control and keep yourself safe from these things

indeed , try not to expose the kids in our gambling activities.

I have no experience in this matter because I am not married yet. Moreover, gambling is a precarious thing, you have a family and you live on a tight budget, now if you gamble and lose your money, you will face a huge problem. Also the expensive expenses behind the children are best not to hurt them in any way. If you quit gambling after having children.

and in that situation I agreed and salute to that man until now that he change his life for his family.

In my opinion, having children does not affect gambling habits at all. Gambling becomes a habit, and having children or anything else will not affect it.
