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...

I don't really know as I don't have a parenting experience before.. but the I'm from Africa and we are more of cultural practices. No African parent will actually teach his son something he knows that's not good. They are very strict and I'll not allow it. Gambling is not something we can be proud of and it can ruin someone if they get in too early.. it's something you do when you might have had a good source. Imagine what it would be like fr a child who just crossed 18, wanting to gamble and he knows he still ask he parents for money to cover up his expenses.. it's would've wrong for him to go into gambling and waste the little money he earn from his parents
