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 
First I would want to find out from my son where that interest to start gambling was coming from. I want to know if it's from his peers – the peer pressure thing. I've seen a lot of teens do stupid things they wouldn't ordinarily do on their own but for dare that came from their mates. These kids are pushed to prove a point to their mates and then take up the challenge. If my son's interest were from his peers, I would bluntly refuse him. Then warm him of the dangers inherent in it. Of course, teens and youngsters are prone to getting easily swayed and addicted to gambling than advanced adults. So, they need guides when it comes to such a sensitive issue.BTW, why did the example have to be a son? We equally have daughters (girls/women) who love to gamble too.
