Re: If your son who is over 18 asks you how to bet on soccer, would you help him?
Imagine your son, who just turned 18, comes to you, saying, "Dad, I would like to learn how to bet on soccer." He asks if you can explain the basics, like understanding odds, analysis techniques, and the risks involved. What would you do 
I know that, as a parent, you want to support your son’s interests but also worry about the potential downsides of gambling, which is normal from my point of view (well, I think teenagers may become addicted to gambling more easily than adults).
My question is: Do you take this opportunity to teach him about responsible betting, or do you try to steer him away from it? Also, if you are still supporting him financially, would you allow him to use the money you provide for betting? the money you work so hard for...

If the money my son had was the result of my own efforts and he tried to use it for gambling I would refuse to help him, since that would not be the use I was expecting for him to give to that money, however if he was already earning his own money and asked me for advice, I would give it to him, but I will try to make it abundantly clear that he should only wager a small amount of money and the rest must be used for the things he actually needs and to invest in his future.I know that, as a parent, you want to support your son’s interests but also worry about the potential downsides of gambling, which is normal from my point of view (well, I think teenagers may become addicted to gambling more easily than adults).
