Asking someone to hold your money is a sign if you're have a bad money management and they should teach you instead of agree to hold your money.
I think the average gambler or man has bad financial management, I experienced that being a wasteful person and could never manage my finances. I once a few years ago my savings ran out due to gambling, but now my wife is assisting me to manage my finances because I entrusted her with it, so I can be more organized now to gamble even with small bets.

I think there's nothing wrong with entrusting someone or one of our families, be it our wife or mother, to manage finances so that they don't run out easily because of gambling or waste in financial management. I admit honestly that indeed I have bad financial management  Cheesy
Well that's true as most people with good financial management skills don't tend to gamble. They see it as unnecessary risk, and reward ratio is too low. But i personally know some people with good financial management skills that just love gambling so much that they want to take the risk. They are just good at keeping seperate balances for it so that they won't be blowing their budget. Not every gambler gets so addicted that they want to compromise their budget. Those are just the addicts you hear about. Lots of people with addiction that are battling against it every day can manage their addiction. And i am not at all downplaying others problem with gambling. I am just saying that it's definitely not for everyone.
Yes, even for gambling it looks like we need management so that it can be controlled, besides if you don't manage it is rather difficult to avoid losing a lot of money at gambling, I don't care about managing finances because I also often play gambling, but thanks to giving trust to those closest to me to manage it all be fine.

I am not a gambler who is too serious so it is impossible for me to become an addict, sometimes gambling just fills my free time, I don't make gambling a source of income either, give trust to the people closest to us if we can't manage finances so I don't lose a lot of money.
