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

2018-09-23 21:55:38 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:55:49 UTC  

blackjack is closer to a game of skill than chance

2018-09-23 21:55:51 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:56:04 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:56:08 UTC  

you can play blackjack and always beat the house

2018-09-23 21:56:16 UTC  

but they don't like card counting

2018-09-23 21:56:29 UTC  

not illegal, but they will kick you out

2018-09-23 21:56:33 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:56:51 UTC  

hey, he can buy candy or he can gamble

2018-09-23 21:56:58 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:57:04 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:57:24 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:57:36 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:57:48 UTC  

I've heard that game is decent tbh

2018-09-23 21:58:12 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 21:58:35 UTC  

so you mean 90% of all games these days?

2018-09-23 21:58:38 UTC  

real hard push

2018-09-23 21:58:51 UTC  

AAA games that is

2018-09-23 21:58:52 UTC  

Sports? Online socialization doesn't do as much iirc

2018-09-23 21:59:41 UTC  

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.

2018-09-23 21:59:48 UTC  

Good step, if he's really that isolated.

2018-09-23 22:00:11 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:00:32 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:01:13 UTC  

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.

2018-09-23 22:01:49 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:02:07 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:02:18 UTC  

E=mc2 they little at 10.

2018-09-23 22:02:21 UTC  

Football's good for that too though.

2018-09-23 22:03:03 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:03:06 UTC  

its not the speed of impact, but how often

2018-09-23 22:03:13 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:03:21 UTC  

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

2018-09-23 22:03:46 UTC  

Soul doesn’t grow without it in my opinion

2018-09-23 22:03:59 UTC  

give that brain a little shake

2018-09-23 22:04:09 UTC  

just saying

2018-09-23 22:04:28 UTC  

As long as you're not passing the shake gradient

2018-09-23 22:04:48 UTC  

there are plenty of other sports that are little less brain killers (soccer, basketball, or baseball)

2018-09-23 22:05:08 UTC  

or if you want him to be a real man, fuck football, go to rugby

2018-09-23 22:05:23 UTC  

heheh

2018-09-23 22:05:28 UTC  

I Just don’t think you guys have kids. They are kinda little pussies. Slow and weak compared to what we were. No fight as school since my son has been, like in the entire school. Shits dif
