Well for me I will choose both I could live simple even im playing gambling it doesn't matter at all, but if playing gambling will result to addiction and affect my life and family then that's the point I will choose whether to continue playing and get addicted more, and my family will be ruined or choose my family over my hobby. And the obvious answer I will, of course, choose my family, and for the better of my life, gambling is just one of the factor that can make you happy and entertain you, for me, I know that happiness could ruin something including my life and others around me then I will leave it and find another things that could replace it.
Decisions to make our better life is very hard for us to make because we don't know or predict what will happen in the next hours or seconds. To have a better life, we should all know some positive ways and things that we want in our future. Money help us in better living and also help us in financial problems. Like you, i will choose my family to have a better life with me. Material things doesnt matter anyway as long as we happy together and healthy.

There's a difference between a desperate gambling addict who is always trying to win the jackpot, and a professional gambler who makes a living playing Poker and Blackjack. Either way, family should always comes first and be given first priority.
The professional gambler can act wisely in gambling games, so they don't have to spend all of their money to win some cash. They know when to stop the games and leave the places without any feeling, and they can control themselves in the gambling games. If they have family, they will choose family than to play gambling because they know that the family is everything for them and the family means for them. A wise man will have a right decision for a better life.

People do not realize how often they gamble in life. We take risk always for desired result. But we have to work harder and be well prepared to lessen the risk
I think we should thoroughly distinguish between how things look from within and without
The point is, it may seem to us, who have no experience in a certain field, that some folks are taking extreme amounts of risk in that field. But they may just know their thing so well that it doesn't feel even half as risky to them as it looks to us, the outsiders. And they are not gambling in the common sense of the word but rather carefully evaluating the risks and taking action only if the risk level is below a certain threshold, given their own skills and expertise
Better to gamble on things that earn you a living, in my opinion. Example, you own a successful farm and occasionally gamble on weather/rainfall or bet on competitive online farming(stimulated farming) games
That actually confirms what I just wrote. It may look to outsiders like you are gambling, but since you know your field so well, it doesn't feel like gambling at all to you personally. Put simply, you are making appropriate decisions based on rational considerations, not luck or chance
So if a person chooses to play gambling as a family, he should be taken to counselling because he chooses the wrong option. The family will always be on our side, but gambling can't always be on our side, particularly if we don't have money. Just need your family to help just solve your problem when you become addicted to gambling, and I'm sure the family will take care of you. But that only happens if you have a strong family feeling, and when you have problems they won't let you down.
Family should always be a priority. Actually, i've decided if I have my own family I will completely leave gambling wether i'm gaining a profit or not. It's not good if you have a gambling habit and at the same time a family, that will only cause into misunderstanding. But guess what I often see here in our community, those husband whose wives is in abroad often go to bar and playing gambling using the money their wives sent to them from their hard earned salary. I guess, priority depends on ones personality.
Well,,, if you want a family you better prevent the gambling addiction now rather than wait later if you are worried it will become a difficult choice. Make gambling a past time or a hobby that does not take up too much of your time, whether or not you have a family,,, whether or not you have a job. Do not wait for the need to come, just prepare for that need;)
yes you are right instead reaching at the addiction point in gambling i think a gambler should be careful from the beginning that he should not become an addict and make the gambling only a source of income, i think not only in gambling but in every field of life we should keep our family in first priority.

If we are alone in life and nothing we know to spend in to, gambling could make us happy for a while, but it cannot escape the fact that having people around is what will make us truly happy and contented in life and gambling would just be factors on it.
Gambling could be just part of life and not life this if people understand many things will get resolve by its own means. Play to enjoy and have fun this will make everyone happy and less of stress too even if you lose some as you are playing for fun and not exactly for money .
I would also say that gambling is already part of my life, I am not doing it on a daily basis but I do it regularly, I mean most of the time we lose but my experience in gambling is so positive, I have more happy experience than sad that's why I still gamble until now.
other people have difference views in gambling because everyone of us has different treatment in gambling, if we are responsible, we willy surely enjoy it even for long term.

only few people has no one besides them because we all have family and friends so if we dont have anyone meaning it is our choice and not destiny.i hate the idea that people are playing and betting to hide from loneliness because we are the one who can decide our happiness and this cannot be bought by using gambling area.
We all know that being an addicted gambler is a very tough spot in our life, but what if you need to decide what to choose, your addiction or you family? i.e., the given situation will be that you need to decide on the spot if you want to pursue your "career" in gambling or make a good simple life with your family? what will you choose?
I will also choose my family over gambling. We should always treasure all the memories of our family because it's more valuable than winning in gambling. Even you stop your career in gambling there is still a good opportunity for you and you just need to find a new good career where even your family will support you. Having a simple life with your family is one of the best blessings in our life that's why we should treasure it than anything.
Of course, there's no debate and options here, it's always our families that's why we've tried playing to be able to give our loved ones a better future and hope for it. There's no way anyone can prefer gambling over their families, perhaps there's but a total idiot and a total gambling addict doesn't have self-control. To have a good life you need to know when to save money and when to gamble.
It's debatable if there are certain situations that we have to consider. We thrive to work for the future of our life and as well as our family so if you're in the good race of your career why you would give it up to give them the best life that they can later? I think it's a very tricky question and you can apply every answer base on your reasoning and the possible future situation that you may see. Anyway it's an opinion based answer so there's no wrong nor correct.

Gambling or family, obviously the chosen family. from my point of view gambling will not give you big money or happiness. many heavy gamblers / addicts even make themselves damaged with a bad mental state, I mean we often see that most of the gamblers always end badly and only a small number succeed because the betting game ends in zero (zero-sum)

I'll choose both. I will live a simple life with my family and gamble. Because I can't quit gambling so easily. Gambling is like an everyday job for me. But I will try to gamble less. However, comparing the two, I will give more priority to my family. Because family is everything to me. Without gambling, I can stay but I cannot live without family. So I will try to live an average life with my family.
Thank you
Thank you
I will choose the family first before anything else because family is the last place to fall back to. I so much Cherish my family that; I will never use what belong to the family to another, all because I want to satisfy myself. My decision will be to embrace the family and never choose anything contrary. Life is delicate and should be handle with care.
It's not always one vs the other man. Gambling is a problem only when you start to borrow money from others to feed gambling needs and get into debt trapt but if you learn to live your consequences of gambling losses and experience it while you become mature, then surely you will never have problem with it and won't have to choose it at the expense of something else.
Very important to learned and understand the consequences and knows the proper treatment within this activities before engaging in. Gambling addictions is the well known bad effect of this activity but if you have good knowledge you'll be able to aware yourself to place limitation and remove any unrelated emotions to keep you far from greed and uncontrolled aggression.
