Gambling Retirement Plan

[DubemIfedigbo001]

Every sphere of work has a certain number of Year in service.  Even Entrepreneurs have a certain age they plan.to work and hand over to their children or any of their predecessor at old Age.
I've seen quite a number of post asking the different times and hours that people gamble with, when yo gamble and when not to gamble amongst other post but it seems gamblers donot have any plan to retire from the gambling activities and hand over to the younger ones.
I think gambling should also have a retirement period. Not a specific age like the government works but like a personal commitment at a certain age. To hand over the gambling activities to the younger generations.
Maybe before that time you as an individual can have a target and work towards achieving it then you take that as a retirement benefit from all your Years of gambling.

This is interesting...
I never knew gambling is now an asset that is handed over to your successors as inheritance. This is as funny as it does not make any sense. Of course, at some age in the future, you can choose to quit gambling if you no longer find it entertaining.
If I happen to quit gambling in the future, I would never encourage any of my children gambling if they have not been gambling before, it is better such an offspring maintains his peace.

Gambling is not as serious as talking about retirement plan, but for any one who takes it that serious will keep gambling until he can't no more, not that he will have to set a date for him self, because even if he does he will still end up gambling after that,

Gambling is for entertainment is not like a job or something you will want to get a retirement plan for lol

Gambling is never a work or business for real gamblers, but its a plain entertainment, so I don't see any reason that gamblers will consider retiring as well. People will only stop gambling if there is no availability of funds, or when they are no longer seeing gambling as something entertaining for them, but only as a source of stress that make their negative emotions so high.

And while gambling retirement plan seems good to hear and to think about, but in reality gamblers do not retire, they just stop gambling for good when they can no longer afford it or manage the risk that gambling brought.

Besides all of those points you've mentioned, I don't understand why one would want their children to adapt something like gambling from them when they know that gambling is a risky thing, and someone who doesn't have enough control and patience might ruin themselves through gambling. Based on the fact that parents always wish that their children only have positive things in their lives, and they see no problems and hurdles throughout their lives, I don't think a sane parent would ever want their children to inherit their gambling habit or anything like that.

Other than that, I totally agree with you for saying that gambling is not a work or business or a source of income that some people consider it, it is merely a source of entertainment and it should be taken that way. Even if someone doesn't take it as an entertainment, they should at least know that it's risky, and they should only spend amounts they can afford to lose to try their luck and see if they can actually make something out of it or not. If they win something, that is great, and if they don't, they should stop right there.

It is difficult to apply it to yourself because we even break the simple rules we make for ourselves, let alone retiring from gambling, someone can retire from gambling if he really doesn't have the money to gamble and the fitness doesn't allow it.

Gambling is not a job that people can retire from it they can only abounded gambling when some people see that their not gaining anything ever since they started the gambling, rather they lose their money always that is what is leading most of the gamblers to quit betting.

So gambling is all about what someone wish for himself if you like turn the gambling into the only source of income none will ask you one to retire from it, accept your realize that you only lose allots of money from the gambling workout single return this kind one they won’t tell anyone to stay away from the gambling.

As we've got a retirement plan for our jobs as we get older. Maybe it can be the same with the gamblers.

If they reach a certain age, like 50s-60s then that's the time they should stop gambling.

Because what they need to work on is their pension and on how they're going to budget that.

They can no longer put that at risk if that's all what they've got but, if they have other source of income and they can afford to gamble. They're free to do that.

‎From your own perspective, gambling seems to be like a job, not specifically like that of government jobs but something to have a age rate to retire. But no, gambling isn't a job because it's not a source of income.

It's an individual decision to stop gambling. One can stop immediately after they start, while some can gamble till old age. Gambling doesn't have any specific period to retire, just as they have a time to start.

‎It depends on how the individual views gambling, because there are older men who just keep themselves busy with gambling after retirement from their jobs, most of these older men I know aren't addicted to it; it's just fun and entertainment since they have less to worry about.

The word retirement sounds a bit official. But its different for those who gamble regularly consider it as a part of their life. Though  gambling is not like any job or source of income. But since it is given a lot of time for a long so it has also been asked about retirement from it. If you want, you can understand in your way of thinking that when you want to refrain from entertainment like gambling. Because people do different types of entertainment at different ages. Which gives them pleasure. Gambling is such an entertainment platform where any person can get entertainment for a long time if they bet responsibly. But after a certain age, people refrain from everything. In that case, when a person should refrain from gambling or when stay away from gambling is being discussed.

If a gambler ever have this kind of mindset, I would say, it would be a very big challenge for him to accomplish this target. Because saving for your retirement is quite difficult when you know you have no assurance about it. So you need to decide for yourself because it is your retirement and no one else will take care of that but you.

Honestly, I thought I had read it wrong. Gambling is not a job and it's not a business. Gambling is just entertainment, so being entertainment, there are no great reasons for people to retire, unless they want to spend more time having fun with other forms of entertainment. Even if someone is good at sports betting or card games and considers themselves a professional gambler, ideally they should gamble for fun and only stop gambling if they ever win a lot of money.

Gambling isn’t a job where you have a retirement plan, and it’s not a business you should pass down to the next generation either, unless you’re the owner. It’s not even a skill you should teach to the next generation; it’s more of a habit. You should stop whenever you feel like it. If you think your profit is enough already or you’ve lost too much, then quit anytime. If you are persistent, you can keep gambling as long as you stay responsible.

Same reaction here mate! I mean no one is stopping anybody from gambling for a little profit but they shouldn’t take it too far to the extent that they’ll start thinking of a “retirement plan” like who the “f” even thinks about that. Like, I am almost 70 so I need to make proper plans on how to make enough money through gambling so I can quit.

It has been established that the outcomes are not certain so how do one work towards achieving the goals of retirement? If you’re tired of gambling just quit.

[Vaculin]

I am confident to say it will never work for gamblers. Gambling is originally made to bring out fun and entertainment, so I don't see there is a need to put retirement on that thing.

However, if you are among those gamblers who are gambling just to put food on the table, and raise your family from your gambling income, then I have to say retire from that kind of mindset. You are not just risking your own life, but even the bright future of your family as well, especially if that simple gambling hobby leads to serious addiction.

There are skilled based games in gambling, don’t forget. A great poker player can actually decide to retire and pass down his poker skills or the secret to his skills to the kids, that one is kinda actually possible. But what’s not possible is a gambler who plays luck based games like slots, roulette, or even sports betting to say he wants to retire and pass down his skills to his kids, what skills exactly? Cos from what I know about these type of games, a player’s skills alone don’t make him win.

There is no specific time to retire from gambling and there are no specific rules. Play when you want and quit when you don't. In this case, you get complete freedom. There is no such thing as retirement in gambling, some people gamble until death as long as they have money. Even in old age, many people gamble just for entertainment. Retirement is taken from those jobs where there is physical, mental and manual labor. Those who gamble do not seem to have come here to work, but rather to relieve fatigue after working. So there is no such thing as retirement in gambling.

Some activities lose their appeal over time; gambling can be one of those activities for some people. I, for example, intend to stop someday. For now it's fun; who knows when it will stop being so? I just didn't understand one thing: your retirement will be paid for by yourself, right? Because governments barely pay for workers' retirement, let alone gamblers'...

A gambler who wants to quit gambling doesn’t have to wait until old age, there’s no specific time required for that. If you truly want to quit, you can do it right now. I think as long as you still have two things, the desire and the money, there’s no reason to stop, even if you’re already old or have retired from your job. Everyone needs entertainment, especially in their later years and gambling can be a form of entertainment.

I feel like for most people gambling comes in at all very different times in one's life depending on their situation and circumstance in life. Some people start out young, some even start middle aged, or some start gambling when they are very very old, maybe even close to death! I would be very intersted on seing the risk tolerance when close to one's death bed i'm sure that risk tolerance is crazy high of you woudl like hand them a phoen with a casino and said how much do you want to bet? I bet it woudl be high...

Interesting point, but I think gambling is a bit different. But in gambling there’s really no kind of “legacy” you can pass on. Every player is on their own, playing with their own money and taking their own risks.
In my opinion, the most reasonable approach is to treat gambling either as entertainment with a limited budget (which is probably the most realistic option), or simply as a risky activity where you should have a clear exit plan beforehand. That way the question of “when to retire” kind of answers itself.

What about those who are considered professional gamblers is it possible they’ll pass on their gambling skills? But I personally don’t think that’s likely to happen; after all, gambling offers no guarantees, and players face risks that are inevitable because they can’t be avoided. When it comes to gambling, the right approach is certainly to treat it solely as entertainment, not for other purposes like seeking or chasing profits. Setting limits whether on the budget used or the time spent gambling is important, as you said, and that makes more sense. And as for when to stop, I think we’ll each have our own judgment, but clearly, once you’re married, it’s better to quit.

The casino will not plan our retirement for us neither will any other person be responsible for this all because we are gamblers, except we take it as a cross upon ourselves and manage what we do, we can try to make adequate preparation and plan towards our future, if we have anything related to gambling retirement plan, we can still go for that on our own, because no one want the best for us than what they could ever wish for ourselves, at the end, no one also with the responsible for the consequences we might face as a result of gambling.

OP, it all depends on the person and their attitude toward gambling. If we take your personality, for example, your attitude toward gambling can be defined as viewing it as a profession or a type of employment that, by definition, deserves a pension. Honestly, I can't read this without a smile and some pity for you, as a somewhat foolish person, since any other sane person wouldn't have come up with a topic for conversation in a gambling section, like a talk about pensions and gambling. Think about what you can pass on to your children based on your post. How do you know how to win at gambling? You're more likely to pass on your gambling addiction, which could get even worse in your children's lives.
I see a large number of people here who are "professional" players, and yes, I understand their standard of living and the unemployment rate, or perhaps rather laziness, because they can't find a normal job and are forced to build hopes of getting rich "here and now."

I understand that repeating it is useless; however, gambling is entertainment. How can entertainment lead to retirement? To me, this topic is just a mess, sorry.
