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...

P.S.: Whether you’re a parent or not, you are welcome to share your opinion! Wink

Yes I would teach him about responsible betting. As of how to bet on soccer, that's not something you can teach anyone about. I'd suggest him to Google it and I'm pretty sure the result would be better than me teaching him. Btw, in my opinion 18 is too early to start betting. I'd suggest him to wait until he's 21 at least. Also I'd tell him that those who say they can teach him how to bet on soccer and make money from that are just charlatans.
