[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to me that Gen Z boys love to gamble. What's the reason behind this? Is it because they are not aas hopeful about the future and are hoping for a quick "fortune"?[/quote]

Yours like to gamble.  Don’t stereotype. [/quote]
Studies say 58% of college aged men are betting online, and that is from 2023. It's likely way higher now. This isn't a one off parenting issue, this is a societal trend. [/quote]

For a lot of people it’s a hobby where they don’t bet more than they can afford.   My husband loves sports and to make it more fun he puts in $20 bets. [b] I don’t think it’s a “new generation” problem.  All ages do this betting[/b] and all ages will have a small percentage who think they can make money this way and end up losing tons [/quote]
Sure, but it's so much incredibly easier now. It's so much easier to click a few buttons on your phone vs the betting days of yore. You are comparing apples and car washes. [/quote]

so true! i remember when my DH and I first met in college he would place bets with a bookie. Once he was off his parents generous payroll and had to earn his own money he stopped gambling. Glad he didnt have access to online betting at the time!! would have been too easy to spiral. [/quote]
