There is a very big possibility that old age men would get more addicted because they are retired and have fewer things to engage in, so here we can also include the fact that in Philippines people are not too rich so after retirement must of the old men will problem resort to gambling just to meet up their financial desires or goals at the very late age and that could even lead them to chase losses and then probably end up addicted.
It's not a question of age in my opinion, both young and old can get trapped in gambling, in my opinion it's a question of education and social background.
If you think a game can give you a living, you're very wrong, because this is very difficult and almost never happens.
Educational background doesn’t apply here because I know for sure guys who are very educated infact they are also high school teachers that are so so addicted to gambling, young has something to do for a living yet wasting up his day with gambling, so if we say level of education we can probably think about it as street wise education and not book wise because if we ever consider it book wise then my graduate gamblers are not even supposed to be anywhere close to it know who well it’s addictive.
