Up to what extent of addiction is that? it's hard to judge based on the given situation, there's no actual situation and what things that addicted gambler can sacrifice just for him to pursue and won't stop his addiction.
But as for me, family first. You can gamble as many times as you want but trust, bonding and love from the family can't easily take back. Sure you can be happy as you gamble but there's a limitation for everything you do like the vice of being a gambler.

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 think i would choose my family over my career in gambling because we all know that gambling really does not gives us any benefit that it only gives us serious emotional problem like addiction, impatience, greed, etc, that is why choosing our family would be worth it because it will be better if you just take your responsibilities rather than become an irresponsible person. 
I am the backbone of my family and their hopes in the financial sector, and to be an active gambler I must consider it a lot, because my family is a valuable treasure for me and they will be things that I will prioritize and I will not take risks if I became an active gambler.
I only play when I have extra money that I limit and have fun, and if I lose I will stop playing with the capital I have prepared and if I win I will stop playing when in a winning position.

I think OP's question will depend on how addictive the person is because if that person is making a living with gambling and can support his/her family then for sure he/she won't leave gambling just like that but majority of people will choose their family because gambling are just there anytime you want while your family can leave any time they want if you don't take care of them.
Making a choice might be a bit difficult to those who are addicted to gambling because most of the time they will choose gambling over anything else if you ask them on the spot that is why there are those who does not only lost there assets but also lost there family.
Gambling is a very addictive vice and it is very important that because entering in gambling you have a strong will to avoid from too much addiction so that if you are faced with a decision to either continue pr quit in gambling then you can decide on the spot.

Once after knowing my family is depending on me, I'll not risk into gambling. With what I have I'll try to fulfill the needs of my family. If things go good surely with the support of my family once again after making my family members life better I'll get into gambling. Until I'm Single I can make my own decisions, but when my parents and family change to be dependents my decision should be taken on a common thinking.

I think you can't have a career by gambling or winning in gambling. Perhaps it is possible to build success and careers in gambling as a casino directorate or casino staff, but as a gambling player I think it is not possible to build such a success or career. Therefore, my preference would be to live a simple life with my family. In this way, I think that I will be happier and I will get more advantageous offers in case of a career. Again, the first choice is to be the player, not the player, because the gambler cannot make a career.
Even though money has very much importance in life as it gets us things.
I'll surely choose family over anything.
Gambling may be uncertain and full of risks but family is for certain and worth the risk.
So, I'll surely go with a simple life with my family.

For me, If I have a talent for playing different gambling games I will probably pursue it because it's my talent that gives me happiness and money if I won. But, if you do not have any talent in playing gambling and sometimes you just wasting your money on playing so you should rather choose your family and just use the money in making them happy. I will also choose my family over gambling and I know it will be the best decision in my life.
I have been through it even though it is not easy, there is no other way that I can be proud of except by diversifying sources of income. Prioritizing family and good karma at the top, and reducing my addiction to at least not considering gambling is the only way I live. I must compile many long-term plans with what I do in accordance with the risks faced.
Is that even a choice? I wouldn't even have a hard time choosing between gambling and family. Of course, I'll choose my family over gambling. I wouldn't dare to lose my family just for gambling. And I don't think I can consider gambling as a "career". Gambling is about risk and that's not career. In your career, you're doing what you want that can help you provide the things you need and want. Yes that can be done in gambling but in a real career, it's not an everyday risk.
Family is always the priority, gambling is not that important compared to your family.

I am sorry, but this question kind of sounds retarded. Someone wanting to pursue "career" in gambling does not mean he is an gambling addict. There are lots of positions available when one will want to pursue a career in gambling. You will never get a proper answer to this question. Highly likely an addict would choose to gamble over their family. After all, they are "addicts".

I will choose my family, and if I am addicting, I will try my best to solve my problem even if I need to spend money to cure the addicting. For me, my family is everything, and maybe at that time, I will realize that I make the wrong decision of playing gambling until I addicted to gambling. I prefer to have or make a good simple life with my family because the family will mean for me. I will not let them disappointed with me again, and I want to make my family happy.

Only a crazy man would choose gambling over his own family.There are no other things in life that can stay with you for the rest of your life which is your own family, for better or for worst.Gambling isnt a thing that you should engage on for the rest of your life.This is only good if you do have money but not all would last long yet you can mess up your own life in a short time
specially if you do lost big time.
So if you dont like unfortunate situations then better to think twice on how you should treat up gambling on a moderated way.
That's perfect! If you are in your right mind, I don't think you will choose gambling over your family. But hey, there are addicted gamblers that do prefer gambling over their family and so the ending is bad. Later on, they will regret about their decision. So I guess we are pretty much clear about what to choose for the betterment of your life.
Unlucky for that family to have that kind of father which doesnt even recognized on whats the importance of his own family which gambling cant give.
People do make their own decision in life and outcome will vary or depend on which one he choose up and its clear on which one is good or bad.
Common sense will able to tell you.
Gambling addicts are called addicts for a reason, and addiction could lead you to choosing the bad choices in life. As for me being an addict? Nope. In a just if scenario that i'm an addict? How the hell would I know, I haven't been one, nor could I understand how their mind works. Also OP, learn what "addict" means, and remove the mindset that all gamblers are " addicts" Thanks.
Now considering the normal scenario of choosing between gambling and family, I'd choose family. Obvious choice hello? Gambling ain't a career. Its a hobby, a way to relieve stress. Who the hell has gambling as his career? Even players in tournaments are there because they're good, and thats it. They don't consider that as their bloody main source of income.

Gambling at the expense of the family amount to being irresponsible head of the family it is pity that we might have some few gambling addicts who fell to this category of unmindful individuals I hope if they reading these comments they should have a rethink and change their attitude.
They are called addicts for a reason. And reasoning doesn't work on addicts. The very fact that they turned into addicts is already an irresponsible thing in their part. Now considering you're sane, and you chose gambling over family, then your pretty crazy. Just a thought though. I think the family should be our first responsibility and i think this gambling hobbies or addiction should not bother our family,
A career in gambling was not a bad idea as long as you are disciplined enough in your money or not addicted to the point that you don't have money for your family.
What do you mean I think. Remove that. Family should be our first responsibility. That's an always. A career in gambling was not a bad idea as long as you are disciplined enough in your money or not addicted to the point that you don't have money for your family.

Isn't that obvious? of course, I would still choose my family over gambling I am not some sort of psycho that leaves my family over it. Besides, I am not a gambling addict, I've only played once an in a week and just only for entertainment not to earn a profit. Regarding the given situation, I would still choose my family rather than pursuing a career that could harm my family besides, I could pursue another career that would not be harmful to mental health and to my family.

Addiction is our choice so choosing to control ouselves to not lile that is also depends on us because we have the right to decide what is wrong and what is right to do that can affect our family lives. I want to have simple family with no financial problem but the reality is not easy because every family needs money so the others gambling their money to change their lives which is better but be wise when using our money because it takes huge risky for our future family needs if the capital lose. We can both have a simple family life while playing woth controlling using money.
