This was the discussion topic we were having last night, a bunch of gambling friends and one of them an expecting dad. There were counter arguments that his child also would turn out a gambler like he is.

The arguments were that it is his in his gene and that'll pass on to his child, since every one in his family was a gambler.

The counter argument was that the child would make a logical decision and genes won't play any part in this.

Which brought us to another important question what if turns out a gambler would they both play together. Would he be comfortable?

Amid this he walked out and texted me he didn't wish to gamble anymore, so wanted your views on this.

When you become a dad, you are no longer responsible for yourself but for another human being exactly and the first role model that child will have is the dad, the first hero that child will have is the dad, the first person he would want to become before being conscious of his own identity is the dad which means those things that you wouldn't want your child to take from you, you will drop it and yes being a parent can change a gambler.

I have seen chronic drinkers whose all emissary to stop drinking fell on deaf hears but the thought of his son seeing him do all sought reset his thinking faculty to a moderate taker of alcohol same goes for every social habit we pick up during our adolescence age. However, this will only be applicable to someone who has the consciousness of being responsible with which without that, what gives him joy is his priority and nobody else matter.

First of I want say that I agree with those who said that inclination to gambling can't be inherent. Secondly, kids when they grow up tend to behave in contradiction to what their parents do. For example if parents smoke their kids don't smoke and vice versa. I know there are other opinions on this, but that's what I know from my experience. From what you have written I have an impression that your friends were joking mostly and also that none of you is actually an addicted gambler. And that's a good thing. Keep it healthy, guys. Gambling can be fun if you don't let it ruin your life.

In many cases children don't follow parents patterns when they see it in a negative way, in a traumatic way. For an example: If the child has negative memories about the parents drunken, he will probably stay away from alcohol. The same can happen about gambling, but if there aren't negative memories about parents + gambling, there are higher chances this child will gamble too.

But we can't predict it, the child may gamble or may not gamble, it's a surprise and everything parents can do is to be prepared to deal with this situation better as possible if it happens.

You will never be a parent anymore to your kids if you are an addict to gambling. Because you cannot have time for your family. You only think about how you gambling. You don't have time anymore for your family. Because your time is focus on gambling. Even your money is in gambling. It might bring you to a miserable life. That will destroy your family relationships.

There are some things that genes can play a part it but i don't think that gambling is one of them. But the child can indeed gamble or do things if he/she reguarly see the parents doing because they want to copy them most and be like their parents most of them. So by quitting, the parent is making a positive decision for himself and for his children.

Genes are actually connected with the medical diagnoses like schizophrenia and gambling as an addiction has not one role in the genes transfer to the children. There are few gamblers which are gambling for the joy.

Most of the percent is gambling for the profit and a large percentage of those that are gambling for the money can be influential for their children. Their habits can be passed to the children if these parents have bad raising methods. Habits are collected through the life.

The parents have a big role in the habits; Another big role has the society in which the children are circulating. Parent don't have to quit the gambling; they should just lower the influence of heir bad habits to their children by not showing the same.

Most people's attitude are being control from their environment

But if the kid able to rational enough to not affect by their parent's environment , they are true warrior since it's difficult to stay away from bad habit,right ?
Religion and family really affect on person's behavior ! Those are important things !
Yeah that's true , I am one of those people who thinks that an environment has a big role, big effect on how your life running , is it heading into the right way or not etc it's really rare case where a kid far from their parents habit. They do usually imitate , take an example from their parents. So you better really planning to stay away from gambling before bad things come in the future and destroy your life later.

About the gambler boy, they have their own future. If dad does not introduce gambling to his son, they will not know the gamble easily. If the father is happy with the gambling and wants his child to feel it too, the father may be teaching his son a gamble, but that does not sound so good. And if the father feels gambling is too risky, the father will prevent his son from becoming a gambler like him. But still the way life is in its own hands, anyone can become a gambler because of their own way and in their own way.

There would be a lot of factors concerning a parent who would have a kid, but in my opinion, it would be really life-to change. I don't have a child yet but thinking about it, my priorities would change, especially when you talk about your child and the schooling and necessities that you child needs would be the first one. There would be no time to gamble and in everything, the best part of life would be having a family, not gambling. 

As for your friend, I hope he does well with his child in the future. Probably be like close friends and gamble together. That would be fun.
Gambling may not be a hereditary trait of course.But if you want to make a model to your future sons and daughters,better to stop gambling anymore.So he did only the right thing.Parenting could be somehow difficult at first but i know it will be learned.Yes it's really a life-changing experience.Hard but fulfilling inside.

Being gambler is a choice and not hereditary. For me it is not comfortable to gamble together of one of your family member and i am sure that source of capital is came from one. This could ruin the life of a family but if you are a father make sure you can limit yourself specially if your son or any other family member is also a gambler because you can easily deliver your advise to make them away in addiction in gambling.
If you are already a family man then you should really be responsible on how you do guide your children into the right path.Lets say we are really addicted on gambling but in our minds we do already know on how gambling can affect us if you are really concern then you wouldn't really like for your child to follow the same steps of yours.You are totally irresponsible if you let them follow you and worst case you are playing at the same time with the same source of funds which will ruin up the financial situation of the entire family.

Dads these days...  Cheesy

Is seems stupid to discuss this br. Do you think gambler call or inform their parents while they are playing in gambling site! I am think that you shit mind to understand that parents involved in gambling.
Gambling and sex are same both would not be explain to elderly people. There is no problem on investing the gambling sites when there is no one care your gambling as a big issue. Kick out them and play what and play whatever option you like.

The genes argument is nonsense, there is nothing wired on our genes that makes us gamble.

I understand from what you are saying that he is not a responsible gambler, that at least sometimes he gambles more than he would like and then regrets. Having a child can change his behavior but in many cases it doesn’t’. You’ll tell us later how he’s doing.


Nonsenses! Not just genes argument, starting comment and some other comments can be described with same word.
I'm a gambler and I'm a father. Did a child changed me, of course yes, in many ways. Gambling is just an activity, like drinking alcohol, recreational drug use, partying, extreme sports, there are many examples activities that can hurt or or makes us even dead if we enjoy in them too much. I have many vices, buy I can't say that I'm addicted too much to any of them, I just love to enjoy in everything that this life can offer. I will try to teach my kids to be moderate in everything they do, too much of anything can be bad! That works for healthy things too, running is good but why don't you run 1000km everyday, you would die from overheating.

If by the time you're a parent you haven't stopped that bad habit then you better re-consider what you do with life. Why become a parent in the first place if you enjoy vices that could ruin a family? Was it an educated, mutual choice to conceive? If yes, then seek some help to quit gambling. Don't tell yourself that you can hold it to reasonable amounts, you probably know better that this can't always be true and it's an irresponsible way to think.

There are no gambling genes in a person's blood. Although we see there is a family that mostly are gamblers, it is not due to heredity. Someone imitates the behavior and deeds of those closest to them. When a father gambles in front of their child, of course their child will accept it as a lesson that will certainly be applied in the future. That's because the child sees his father's habits and not the genes.

Genes has nothing to do with this and if he do able to pass that gambling habit into his child then he should blame those people around them or even himself because he do let his sibling to get involve with gambling.We do know that if we do able to see our loved ones who do engage with it higher chances that we would able to do the same thing.Its the consequence but still he cant able to pull out his son its just a matter of self discipline and restrictions.
