Yeah true

you need to teach kids how to gamble, like how to drink

Yep

If my kid was good at blackjack I'd encourage them to keep doing it

its not really a hard principle, go it with x amount of money, expect to lose it all

ya know a good way to teach kids about gambling? Let them use their own money.

blackjack is closer to a game of skill than chance

Teach the kids how to be adults, so we have less post teens around.

Only like blackjack or poker or sports betting though, not pure chance like craps or slots

you can play blackjack and always beat the house

but they don't like card counting

not illegal, but they will kick you out

My kid can do what ever with his money, I will just make him feel bad if he looses it. Lessons and such

hey, he can buy candy or he can gamble

Same if he wins, talk about luck and how he had it and might not again, spend it wisely. Lessons and such

Yeah I regret saying kids gambling is bad, they should be mocked if they spend their allowance on a slot machine and then want more money

they shouldn't get dinner that night to really teach a lesson

Yep, like how I mocked my son for wanting “a hat in time” the game..

I've heard that game is decent tbh

Me to but I’m pushing for more online play (he needs to socialize more)

so you mean 90% of all games these days?

real hard push

AAA games that is

Sports? Online socialization doesn't do as much iirc

Na, that’s a myth. I hear him playing with his friends from school. He has gotten much better at communication over the last few months.

Good step, if he's really that isolated.

But still, the in-person stuff will be a major step forward I think.

if you live in a major city, there may be meetups and such for whatever hobbies he has.

And if you ever been in a good guild with many friends, that can be a small community. I want him to try and build that with friends at school so they can make RL plans. Sons kinda nerdy but super smart. But yeah, 100% he playing football next year.

touch football i hope, otherwise thats a good way for him to quickly become not smart

If he's straight, he's also gonna want to meet chicks. Certain types of hobby meets are best for that. ;- )

E=mc2 they little at 10.

Football's good for that too though.

wise dad applies the physics of scale to risk assessment of CTE

its not the speed of impact, but how often

I like wise dad's son's odds here.

brain doesn't do too well if you keep shaking it around really hard often

Soul doesn’t grow without it in my opinion

give that brain a little shake

just saying

As long as you're not passing the shake gradient
