My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention measures to addiction.

Yes I think that I will still gamble when I am an old man. Nothing wrong with enjoying casinos once you are retired. I think that everybody needs some thrill in his life and as long as I can afford to gamble I would like to do so. Maybe I am a bit biased because of the first time I ever visited a casino after turning 18. There was an old guy in suit and only white hair, his date however was only 20-25 years old. She was the most beautiful Asian woman I have ever seen in her evening dress. So if I ever turn 65 and are single again and I will celebrate my birthday in casino with a beautiful model. It was so much fun watching that couple bet money on roulette with that huge age difference. In the end everybody has to decide for themselves how long they want to gamble and when they will stop. Just make sure you have something else in mind to do with all your spare time.

Correct. There's nothing wrong about it. It may actually be the last thing that I can enjoy in life, especially for those who love sports and will still use sports betting for the addition of excitement of the game. I am seeing myself still betting on NBA games even at old age, if I am ever lucky to live that long.
The only wrong thing that I could see in doing this is if the money is not from me. This made me realize that I should try saving money that will be for myself if the kids will have their own families when they grow. The retirement funds won't be enough, I doubt it ever is, I need money that could sustain my needs and habits so that I can still have a bit of enjoyment in my life.
The good part about this is, we ain't like the old people like our grandfathers that will need to go to the place where they will bet. It's easy access for us thanks to the internet and the gambling sites that are being created left and right.
