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...

To start with I wouldn't build a future that would see my child going in to gambling at such age. Even if it happens that he gets in to gambling. It will be base on fun for his favorite game and not an escape route from poverty. An 18 years old child should be more concerned and bothered about their future rather wanting to indulge in to gambling. It all goes down to the kind of future you prepare for your children. Parents need to take up their responsibilities and not let this be an option for survival for their offspring.
