Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

[Cookdata]

Students at school should not gamble it is illegal because they are underage. Students at college and university in poor countries should understand how hard living in poverty is. It does not make them rich the should be thinking about education not gambling.

Not trying to justify actions but not everyone is lucky to have parent that cater for needs. There are parents that are poor and are still able to provide for their kids need but not everyone and that's why you see a lot of university student gambling. When you check the money used in gambling mostly is either their school fees or up keep money for textbooks and assignment. They risk the money to make more so they can have something before they get another stipend.

If the government want to fight this, they first need to banned physical gambling place around school area. You find it difficult to see tertiary institutions that doesn't have a gambling place where student comes and waste their money unless it's far from town. School public wifi also need to banned some casino website, this way they wouldn't be able to access some popular casino online. This might not be the best solution but it will do some control to student gambling addiction.

But if you observe, gamblers gamble more in those places where the financial situation is bad. They think that only through gambling they can normalize their financial situation by making a profit, but the results are different. Those who start dreaming of earning money through gambling, at some point they cannot concentrate on their studies. If they lose in gambling, they start gambling more to recover that money. School and university students forget their responsibilities and run only for money. In the case of adults, even if gambling brings bad situations, they are able to understand it to some extent, but those who are minors cannot come out from that pressure.

You should know that college and university students in poor countries are always looking for means to earn when they are in school, so they believe if they end up gambling it’s going to increase the amount which they are having with them, so mostly people from poor countries are always taking gambling as a source of income, which at the end most of them do end you being addicted to gambling because they are always desperate to make money from gambling. Most developing countries, even if you are educated, there is no assurance that you going to get a good job, so most of them are just going to school, just because they want to be a graduate, but they are not sure they will be getting a good job.

Well not just in poor countries mate. In many developing countries, gambling is taken as a major source of income for Many youths. They see it as the quickest and easiest means to make money on line. Gambling is risky as we know but it's more like an activity that many see as easy.. students are much exposed to such thing in school. That because they barely have people to watch their actions. They might be influenced by peers, especially the wrong ones who may have one or two ways around gambling and show some kind of lifestyle while in school.. this would affect their education alot than they actually think. But since there's no one to watch them theh might not care much..

Thier is a great relationship between education, poverty, and gambling in developing countries, many students inmy regions are really facing this significant economic challenges leading some view gambling as a potential means to supplement thier income or alleviate financial stress .

The old saying is that gambling is a tax on those who are bad at math.  I think while it may have negative effects for those who view it as a potential income source, it also does some good.  I know that in the USA there are states that use their lotto to provide extra funding for school teachers to buy supplies and it has helped out tremendously.  Ironically teaching students to be better at math so that they don't view gambling as a potential income source.

Maybe this your suggestion will work to an extent but to a large extent, it won't work because students can still gamble online. Gambling has come to stay whether you like it or not because since the coming of the online gambling and casinos, gambling has gotten a wider coverage and can’t be controlled because even when the countries governments try to control it, people will still use VPNs to have access to the gambling sites.

When we discuss the issues of gambling we cannot discuss only its negative effects. Although gambling can undoubtedly result in financial losses, we commonly witness its positive score in terms of taxes/donations brought about by this activity. In fact, other sectors such as education are among essential areas funded by lotteries. We need to be clever when doing it and create awareness about how knowing maths and statistics can make us more critical in handling such issues.

As you indicated, I believe that in the US, certain states do utilise lottery money to promote education.

For example, some states use it to pay schooling, and others use it for teacher pulse scholarships.  The pulse  I believe that educating kids about financial management, statistics, and probability may help them make wise gaming selections.

 Additionally, learning maths may help people develop their critical thinking skills, which will help them assess risks and make wise decisions.

 We can enable people to make knowledgeable gambling decisions and lower the likelihood of unfavourable outcomes by advancing financial literacy and math education.

Banning gambling outlets around tertiary institutions is a direct way to promote an alternative that might be even more dangerous and addictive than the formal. Now, all that could stop them on an online field is network. If that’s out of the way, they would get so much comfort in gambling and no one gets to know it.

Am orientation at schools would yield a better result and perhaps, a good standard of living.

Quite true but I still believe that banning physical gambling from the school area could bring some positive result which at least would reduce the number of the students who are most likely to be exposed to it physical which is an added advantage to the students.

It's not everyone that yet believe in the online gambling because many people have this believe that whatever is going to be online or internet based platforms that has to do with making any payment, they do not subscribe to it and that's the little advantage that might come off this, else moving a gambling shop from the school environment might make only a few impact.

When I was in school there were some gaming places around the school where student used to play games for fun. Those gaming shops have gradually disappeared because of online games and online casinos. Students can now easily play their favorite games online while sitting at home and they are even getting involved in online casinos. No matter what kind of government restrictions or bans on online gambling students use VPN. Students try to gamble by hiding the age and most of the time they harm their studies and become addicted to gambling. The steps taken by the government to ban online gambling sites are largely not being implemented due to the use of VPN and they are becoming addicted. This is the most terrible aspect of a society.

To prevent students from gambling, parents should be vigilant about their phone and computer use and regularly monitor their every activity.

Sad reality, the best thing is to utilize every resources that the government have to prevent those young students to get involve into gambling, proper awareness and school guidance and more specific information about what might be the bad effects of gambling, as you mentioned, it's very difficult to stop this as even the government have that capabilities to ban it with their jurisdictions gamblers can still find ways by every means that the internet  access can offer.

Slightly off topic, no matter how high a degree we attain, it doesn't guarantee we'll easily find a job with a steady income. In fact, nowadays, degrees can reportedly be purchased for free, without having to spend a lot of time to earn them. And it's not surprising that many students gamble. After all, students now have their own cell phones, and with online gambling now widespread, it's likely they're familiar with, and even engaging in, gambling. It's no longer a major issue, but rather a common occurrence. Furthermore, we know that students are often hungry for a lifestyle, and one way to earn money is through gambling. Although this is inherently wrong, many do it.

Mere looking at this, physical gambling shops are becoming obsolete because now gamblers can always get the fun and the result they are looking for from online platforms. You don't even need to go stake your selected games in a gambling shop when you can always do that on your own in the comfort of your home.

Concerning gambling in schools, we can actually stop that even though all schools decided to abolish gambling activities around the school premises. Students can always go outside to gamble and get the kind of results they are looking for without any problem.

I think that a ban is not the best way to discourage people from trying gambling. Of course, such establishments should not be located in close proximity to educational institutions. But in reality, students are not the wealthiest clients of casinos, so they are more likely to choose the online version since it is more affordable and convenient. It’s better to actively promote financial literacy teaching people how to properly manage and allocate their money rather than simply prohibiting something.

Cookdata, you have a very good points concerning students whose parents are poor and unable to give them enough money to cater for their needs and hence they engage in gambling in order to help themselves. I have seen such situations in my school days but it doesn't actually end well. It makes the situation even messy and not alleviate it.
I had a few of my course mates then who even gamble with their school fees and not because their parents were poor and could not afford their school fees.

Yet, there are some disciplined students whose parents were also poor but they instead go out and look for some jobs to do. Some become labour to mason and others do other types of job to support themselves. I know lack of money is one big reason for students to gamble, but gambling is not the only escape route.

[arabspaceship123]

If students lucky to have parents which cater for their needs they should not gamble. If parents trust their children by funding their education they must respect everything the parents have done. Parents fund the clothing and food needs of their children. If they use the money to gamble they are lying to their parents.

If they want to protect children in those areas gamble posters and physical gambling places near schools and universities should be banned.

Current schools do not teach children and adolescents the most basic things in the world, the schools seek to form people to be slaves of a system under which we live, they do not teach them things that are fundamental, they do not teach them how to do business, they do not teach them about the dangers of addictions, they should also teach them about the dangers of minors when gambling or betting, the education I received in my country is not like that, imagine in Europe if it is like that is why they are superior in many aspects.

They are supposed to teach all you mentioned so that they won't fall victim but the problem is that, these teachers don't teach outside the scheme of work, there's is no extra scheme of work that captures this things you mentioned, thats where the problem is, you'll agree with me that it is almost impossible for teachers to teach things that's is not in the scheme of work but you raised a good point because if all these things were being part of teaching in various schools as the basics, with this information, if those children grow to become adults, they will approach gambling with a different mindset as such they won't get addicted if they eventually go into gambling.
