Gambling Then vs Now

[Ever-young]

Gambling used to be a game of chance,but now it’s a business of addiction.The lesson stays the same,gambling as of then and now entails a whole lot of lessons,where losing meant walking home empty,but wiser.Meanwhile,real wealth isn’t built on luck;it’s built on patience,skill, and discipline.

Unfortunately not very many people actually learn from their losses, rather than getting wiser as your said, they get even more foolish and most time revengeful, seeking for other opportunities to get back at the casino for making them lose money, only for them to come back just to repeat the same process, and trust me, it gets even harder for such folks to break out from such an endless loop, no matter the amount of loses they experience.

I remember when I was still in highschool, gambling was rampant in the classes and they're all hidden. Because once our teacher or adviser knew about the gambling that's happening inside the class rooms, first they're going to confiscate the money and so it's all goodbye. Unless the amounts were big, they're going to return it still but with the need of calling our parents so that they're going to talk to them and tell what we've done. It's easier now that I am older, no one is going to stop me and I can do whatever and whenever I want to gamble. I just miss the old days.

I think most of us miss those emotional days now, only those who have played gambling secretly inside the classroom, they can understand how much thrill comes from hiding it, and at the same time, the fear of getting caught, that all together bring a deeply intense form of entertainment.
Anyway, these were really good, but they should not be done, especially in the case of students today, because now students are much more digital, so they can easily move towards a worse path at this time.
And in the present time, this issue is having a very negative impact on students, because when students are involved in gambling now, they become very deeply addicted to it, and such incidents are very common.

The shift is relatable. As an underage, gambling can feel like rebellion and pure thrill. The moment you are of legal age, there is change in excitement, it gets less about the rush then more about managing risk and making smarter choices. You begin to view it as just entertainment that requires discipline, not just adrenaline. The fun is there still, yet it's balanced by awareness with control.

It's because we've grown mature and so, we've got more awareness and control to what we do. Yes, the fun remains but it's not the same fun when we have nothing and able to gamble back then when we were younger. The time flies so fast and it's unstoppable, all of those memories of the past on how we started to gamble were gone and can't even be remembered and how we try to hide it from the others because there's a taboo belief when your friends started knowing you're a gambler, they'll go away from you.

When I was a minor, I saw men that made many mistakes with gambling, and it cost some their happy homes, so I have always seen it as something that can ruin life and somehow have some fear of gambling. I can relate to that feeling when you hide to do something you were warned not to do. Not just gambling. And then when you are at the valid point, you feel less concern.  It's just that coward feeling from kids. Every child has done something like that. One thing that changed with my experience of gambling is realising that gambling isn't that bad or even terrible when you gamble responsibly. Like not using money meant for something important to gamble with the hope of winning to repay them.

It's certainly fun, but the fact is that those who really want to gamble will always find ways to do so, so prohibitive measures don't work very well in my opinion. Although your story is interesting, I hope you can control yourself today despite the wild urge to gamble. I didn't know about gambling in school, and it wasn't until my student days that I tried roulette with the Martin Gayle strategy. I thought I was a genius, hahaha, but imagine my disappointment when I lost a small deposit of real money. It was such a nerve-wracking and challenging experience for me, hahaha. Now I remember it with a smile, and I completely understand why the Martin Gayle strategy isn't the best.

Don't worry about me, I've grown as a man already and I can manage myself and control my emotions very well. And money back then when we were studying was a lot because it's only given and not earned by us. I don't know about others who's able to work at a young age and if they can accept to gamble their hard earned money easily because it's most likely that they can't.

I think most of us miss those emotional days now, only those who have played gambling secretly inside the classroom, they can understand how much thrill comes from hiding it, and at the same time, the fear of getting caught, that all together bring a deeply intense form of entertainment.

It was one of the good memories of the past and we don't recommend that to the young ones today. It's totally a different setting back then but now, I'm not sure how it goes in the schools and how strict the staff and teachers there. Plus, the younger generation now have a different interest but due to technology and ease access of gambling, we'll never know how they're doing if it's about gambling.

As a child i had the same experience too, i saw people gamble at my local betting center, i saw some of them fight had arguments, but i knew that all thay did happened because of the after effect of a bad gambling day, and i told my self that i wouldn't gamble ever because i did not waht to be fighting like them, but as i grew up i realised that there is more to gambling than just that, Although i was scared and anxious at first but as time went on it became a normal thing i do, and it has not brought about any issues too because i try to control my emotions and not react based on emotions.

Exactly, that’s what i said in one of my posts. When you’re young, you don’t have control. When you grow up, you realize the seriousness of the situation and start seeing things in a rational way. If you’re not greedy and have a budget set aside for gambling, you’ll be able to have fun in the long run.

You should know that these days, we are having a lot of incredible increase in it's particular d those gaining interest are not all getting it right, friendliness is one of the major reasons to why gambling was initiated in the last, bit today, many have seen it beyond that, which is not too bad when more potential opportunities had been seen in it, despite that some also are getting the whole thing on a wrong idea about gambling, that it's a source of income for them.

Most of us compare young vs adult gambling experience. But what if then is an adult and now is a seniour or person who has retired and lives on a pension. How does gambling experience changes during that time period? Adults suppose to be smarter gamblers than young gamblers who have recently opened a game of gambling. What about people in age? Are they even more smarter gamblers than most of adults?

You simply can't compare two different styles of play, many of the kids were used to a type of play that wasn't played before, now the young people are used to things that are absolutely strange for the old players, so it's useless to define who is better or which generation is the best.

Just curious, for those who started gambling before you were even allowed to.. how does it feel now that you’re finally 18+ or 21+ and can actually do it legally?

When I was younger, it had that “forbidden fun” feeling, like doing something you knew you shouldn’t. The thrill is different, and I never really thought about the risks or losses back then. Now that I’m older, it’s not as wild.. I take my time before betting, think about bankroll, and I’m more aware of what could go wrong.

For those who’ve gone through both stages, what changed for you? Do you still get that same excitement, or does gambling feel more like strategy and control now?

Truly most times, there’s always more fun in doing what seems illegal or what we’re not freely allowed to do than compared with what seems common and allowed to do at anytime, anyday.
I am sure now, gambling will not be viewed with same eyes now as compared to back when you had to gamble with free money and not money labored for.
For those who stated gambling for a very long time even before they were 18 and are still modestly in it already learnt a lot of lessons and shouldn’t be expected to be reckless with their games and as such, even if they haven’t gotten the actual break they desire, I think by now they should have racked in more profits than losses.

Everything feels same except being more conscious.

We can't really comprehend or compare gambling then to now cause there has been a huge change andunlike then where we find it hard to get access to gambling while still tender, I think there's no much attention to this generation because gambling has been versatile such that one can be at the comfort of their home and gamble thereby probing the young one's to addiction at sn early stage.

I started gambling at a young age, it’s part of our culture. Kids would go to what we call perya. Back then, children could also join, but now the perya staff and other gamblers drive minors away from betting, even from just watching. How I wish I were as restrained now as I was when I was still a kid. These days, it’s all about profit and taking bigger risks. Looking back, before I got into crypto, I couldn’t have imagined I’d be betting like this.

Currently it's hard to see even minor gambles just because of the fun because of how the world has turned out to be now. Right now you are bigger and exposed to needs; you have bills to pay, so you are gambling with the hope of winning something bigger. If not for your daily needs, at least money to use for something else, even if it's for fun, but you just try hard to win something bigger. It's no longer the way you gambled when you were small.

I never had the privilege to gamble because back in those time, there wasn't casino then in my place. The only thing available that time were snooker games and whort games where people play against each other, you can decided to bet against each as player to player or you can decided to bet on the player to lose or win, it was dy d that time and everything used to be cool. There is tense of losing money because you don't want to lose what you have to another person.

I did have another one we do play that time while in school games. The school has banned it several time but the students always have a way they brings it back. We do used our launch money that time to bet against each other and who ever win takes the money. There were times we do bet with launch, as in the food bought and which player that emerge as the winner will go away with the food. I was flogged many times because of this but you know adolescents stage, very stubborn.

Everyone was young, wild and free back then. We tend to enjoy gambling because it's exciting upon knowing doing it, the thrill that it gives and being unemployed teens, we thought that it's a good source of making money.

Until we have realized that it's not and there's more to it that we can do and enjoy. The exciting remains in me and that's why I have not stopped but regulated my own gambling activities.

I was so active before that I have to do it once in a while and some moments like everyday although I can do it now from doing it on a daily basis, but I still try to limit myself.

That's true  when we're young, we don't know any limits, and it was the same with gambling. We chased money and played risky games without any strategy at least that’s how it was for me. But I didn’t spend my own money, i used my parents’ money instead Now things are different, and i can say that i gamble responsibly, though not as often as before. I place more bets than play slots, but sometimes I mix them up. Overall, i agree with you  it’s important to set limits.

We did chased money and thought that it will be the easiest way to make money and so, the younger people tend to be more addicted than the older ones.

And with that admission of yours, I guess that all of us that have gambled when we were young didn't used any of our money but our parents.

We learnt from all of those craziness that we did when we were young and have nothing to think about life but only having fun.

Nowadays, with the technology that we have, young kids have access to basically anything. But it is the parents' prerogative how they will handle their kids in terms of access to these gadgets that will enable them to log in in those gambling sites. As the technology is fast evolving, parents should also know how to address such risk to their kids. The access will surely be easy and fast and so one thing they can do is instill the good values. So even if they are in front of those gadgets, they already know what to do even without their parents' directive.

The difference is there between gambling as at then and now, before we don't really have online gambling and then also, people are not well informed about gambling the way we got used to it this time, but today, everyone already have access to gambling by the use of online gambling platforms with our different devices for the suitability of having fun, once we can afford other conditions to gamble with our own money.

You can use any form of parental control tool to manage where your children can access and where they can't access, but immediately they are growing up and start associating themselveswith friends, then there is a limit to how you can control their online life since you can't go out with them all the time to school premises and other places where they socialize.

Not my experience, but the few of them I have see gambling that are not up to the legal age usually don’t have a good strategy or even know what bankroll management is and how to practice it. One thing I know is that they are usually in th comment section of tweets punters post and you’ll see them either asking for codes or asking for people to help them fund their accounts, I know a few of them in my area, we have had discussions about it because apparently the gambling centers don’t regulate the age allowed to bet in their shop, as long as you have the money and the game you want to bet on they’ll do it for you, sometimes they even lie that it was an adult that gave the the code to bet and they’ll believe it.

honestly speaking, this is how it used to be the majority of us ventured into gambling because of excitement and curiosity and not having a good grasp of it. At that time it was more of a game than a risk particularly at a time when the money was not actually ours. When we got older, the truth would strike us, we began to feel that losses count and that the bad habit could easily take away both time and peace. Those childhood errors have defined our current perception of value, patience, and the necessity of curbing our greed.
