Default Re: Positive Side of Underaged Gambling

I know that undreage gambling can be a problem, but i dont see much of a difference in problems between underagers and legal gamblers. As stated, 16yo's have less to lose. I have tought/coached a couple of my friends/family who where underaged to play online and make good money. Essenstially, I didnt think much about it as I had always played Magic The Gathering with them, and as i switched to poker and made money, it only seemed natural to help them do the same. As discussed on these forums before, good magic players transfer their skills to poker really well, andthere for all my friends became winning players at instant speed.

I would ahve to say u can't generalize when it comes to this issue. It is case specific. Underage gamblng is not the problem, irresponsible gambling is. If a 15 yo steals his moms CC and runs to play poker that is bad. If a 15yo avoids working fast food cause there are soo many ppl pissing away money on PP, how is that wrong?
