    I bet if some teen is gambling and their dad sees that he is always winning he will help him out instead of telling him not to do it.

    Online gambling sites are now banned in the US, but that change just happened recently and there are problem gamblers around the world.

    I think teen gambling is a major problem; many young people do not have the discipline. Sometimes teens will resort to crime to feed their habit.

    I took a year off after high school (high 90s marks), saved $25 000 and entered university. I thought I was pretty smart, but I didn't really have any discipline. I discovered online poker and had enough winning streaks that I thought I could beat the game, but I was playing at too high stakes and I tilted badly. I failed my first year of university, and lost my savings and went into debt; cleaning up now.

    There are many young poker players who play well, have bankroll management skills, and make a lot of money playing online poker. ie. 19 year old Jimmy Fricke recently won $1 million in a big tournament, and regularly cleans up online tournaments for thousands of dollars, and there are several teens who earn thousands per week and think they live a ballin' lifestyle. However, for hundreds of other teens, ganbling becomes an addiction that spoils their lives.

    im okay with gambling if it's your money you're wasting, and if you get that money in legitimate ways.

    teens squandering their parents money though, not cool.

    oh well.
