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 Huh
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... Smiley

P.S.: Whether you’re a parent or not, you are welcome to share your opinion! Wink
Teenagers protest against any ban, so I believe that the child should be explained the basics of sports betting, while warning about the possible problems that arise with excessive passion for gambling. It would be better if he tried to make a few bets, of course, only with the money he earns himself, so that he could feel the "value" of this money, as well as the bitterness of loss from losses (which will definitely happen).

In this vein, these bets on football could serve as a good financial lesson and gently wait for the son to lose interest in gambling (without direct bans).
