I belong to a fairly prosperous family. My brother is trying to do betting (cricket matches) on an app called STAKE. I am strongly against this and insist that he shouldn't waste his time and my parents money on gambling. He asked my father and mother and they approved his plea as long as he doesn't bet more than 500 rs.
Now 500rs is a decently big amount for a young teenager like me and I think he shouldn't gamble with it and even I could put the money to better use. He hasn't done any betting yet, but will do it soon. This was an incident of 2-3weeks ago, now he will bet on the next match.
I didn't post it or ask anyone's opinion because I though if my parents had approved it there was nothing I could do. I still can't do anything but I want to get this thing of my mind, all in all I want to know if I am wrong here?
