I think that it is unusual that most of the members of a family gambles and they take it as a profession.
Gambling should be a type of recreational activity and not some type of a routine or take for a financial support.
Also, I believe that in a family which members are all gamblers, are influenced and supported by their elders.

I know one family back in the days, his father is involved in cock-fighting, he has 4 kids and two of them gets involved as well. I know it because I grew up with those 2 kids are we are best buddies. However, as we gets old, one because an engineer, and one still involves in gambling, he has a job in our local casinos. So I guess, once it runs in the family, it will continue for generations. But personally, I won't think my kids to get into the world of gambling as I know they might fall and became addicted.

Well there are few here but I guess not all members of the family are gambling. Males dominate in gambling while female were not. So if there are female in the family members then high chance they could not involve in gambling. Anyway, gambling as a family is not an ideal. It means a disaster especially when there is a problem financially with being addicted to betting.

Wish for the rain? Then deal with the mud too.
I can't believe that there is kind of family like this. 'Cause you know, usually it would be your parents who would be the first one to discouraged you on getting involved in any kind of this activity. I must say, they were cool  Grin. I'm pretty interested to know their history though; how they start, or did they have huge conflict once about gambling, biggest winning, something like that.

As for your question, well I haven't seen anyone similar with the family you mentioned. And I also do not expect any of my friends to have a family with a same manner as your friend... you know, gambling here in the country I'm livin' in isn't a big thing, to even go further with such situation  Tongue. Anyway, please let us know their history, I'm pretty sure they have a good story   Cheesy.

This is something which rarely you hear where all the siblings are professional gamblers and doing well in the gambling world. If someone if making money and knows how to make it and legally as well then, no harm I would say in that. Also, I hope you would have got some tips from this family and can help you to make some winning form the gambling.

It's inevitable to see a family with two or more who gamble because they start to adopt what the other member is doing, knowing that they live in a single house. But of course, not every family is like that, some other families are conservative that is why some are hiding it from them.

I and my father are the ones who sometimes gamble because we are the only guys in the family. However, as an older brother, I don't want my siblings to get involved in gambling. But I am also honest with them that I gamble and that I don't have to hide it from them.

Background, they are indeed of mixed Chinese descent, their family from grandfather to father is indeed a good bet, in his day.
It's no surprise since most chinese are known to have an entrepreneurial mindset and is very practical in terms of managing their spending habit. Not only that, even China is also known for being a great risk taker with regards to how money is circulating into the economy, more likely a "capitalist".

And yeah, I think that background alone is enough why these people achieve their success in gambling and any other business ventures.

You should've asked them what's the secret in gambling,
that's the problem, they don't want to give tricks, how they play until it works.

He replied, just like you play, that's ... gamblers. The answer.

they have huge losses too right?
At present there is no real loss for them, only the success of the barrage that I see, in the future I don't know.
It hasn't been seen.

As a whole they are quite professional in gambling and fighting, I myself can't digest it in my brain, every time place a bet, definitely win.

indeed the lucky family in the world of gambling, jealous of to see it. positive.

You should've asked them what's the secret in gambling, you have tons of audience here ready to read and absorb their strategies.

Going back, I like what you said, that they aren't afraid of anything, meaning, no harm or danger despite of being successful in gambling. This just means that their winnings are comming from their legal bettings, and they are really lucky (I might used the word talented), in gambling.

One other good idea here to ask is how they handle their losses? Perhaps, they have huge losses too right?

Livecasino, 20% cashback, no fuss payouts.
Don't know anyone in my life who is a gambler but who also has a professional gambler in the family but I know that children in my culture often see their mothers and grandfathers gamble but only with their own families during festive occassions, and get togethers that sort of thing. Gambling outside that circle is frowned upon we don't have actual pro gamblers:)

@Ryker1,
their age: first 40 years, second 35 years, third 30 years and the last 25 years, work, they are currently trading business, self-owned.

As I know they gambled, never mixing gambling money with commercial money, foreigners.
They are quite proficient in managing finances, all the money from the gambling they use for luxury, such as; buy a car, clothes, vacation etc.

@FontSeli.
They very often bet sports gambling (soccer), poker and dice.

@Quidat.
I mean, you have a family, for example: 3 biological families, what are all three gambles.

Rarely do I find an entire family become gambling players, because in my opinion gambling is not a profession or occupation.
Even in my country gambling is prohibited by the state, so it's a little difficult to find one family who likes gambling all.
For me, this is compounded by the fact that luck plays a decisive role in gambling. I consider it rather unrealistic that 4 people in a family are successful, professional gamblers.

Additionally, one would also have to define "professional" in more detail here. If these people are just about positive at the end of the month, for example, one can certainly not speak of professional gambling. If these people can earn their living for a longer period of time (> 1 year), then it is more likely.

I don't have friends who succeed in gambling, but some can make money from gambling. But I don't know how much they can make since they don't tell me about the money they can win. If one family has gamblers who can succeed in gambling, I think it will be good to share or teach others so they can win together in many gambling games. It is about how we can open mind or accept that one of our members' families is a pro gambler, and they don't disturb the other with what he's doing. If that family can do that, I am sure there will be no problem inside the family because of each other respect for what other people doing.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
[1]. Are there friends in this forum that are the same as my friends...! yes, I mean in this forum that one family is involved in gambling.
[2]. It's good, if we teach our brother or sister to bet in gambling like we have today....!
[3]. Or we don't need to tell our families money from gambling and also we are not involved in gambling...!
[1]. As if this is not something new, certainly a lot of involvement in the family became a professional gambler and it has happened a lot, but in my life experience I have not found such a friend.
[2].If for them this does not become a burden even their economy improves because the gambling they play is good, because the family has fully supported it.
[3].I think gamblers like me will not tell the family and it's better to stay quiet not to accentuate it because if you already look addicted it's hard to treat if the family doesn't agree.

And whatever people have the freedom to teach gambling to their families or not. But I will not teach anything about
gambling to my family, I'm afraid that the people I teach will become addicted and if that happens I certainly feel very guilty.

[1] I don't personally in this forum who's family is involved in gambling but in real life, I've met some. My grandmother used to have a small casino and one of my family's friend is involved in gambling and all of them is lucky and skilled in card games.

[2] Personally, I let my brother and sister learn everything on their own and be responsible for their actions. If they want to gamble they can as long as they are not going to burden others with their action and ready to handle the outcome of it.

[3] It doesn't matter if my family or other people know if I am involved in gambling or not.

We are five in the family and none of us is a professional gambler. As a matter of fact, my parents are not fans of gambling. Not only are they not fans of gambling, they also heavily discouraged us to gamble when we were little kids. My older brother and I are the only ones who gamble in our family. While we are not hiding it from the family, we are also not teaching each other to gamble. Me and my brother would sometimes discuss on which teams we should bet on, though.

By the way, what game does this family professionally play?

i like your story . its rare to a 4 members of the family that are succesful and pro in gambling . is that means all of them are lucky and skillfull ? wow but you didnt include of the history of their mothers  . are thier mothers or father involved on gambling before ? because being skillful or pro in gambling can also be inherit  .  i have a friend and thier family allows him to gamble because my friend is in his right age  . my friend is a guy , he is only allowed to gamble but his sisters are restricted while she gambles secretly and she dont tell that to her mom

What's strange to me is; my friend has 4 siblings, all male, only his mother is female, so all four of them are all professional gambling players and they are a huge success in the world of gambling.
I wonder what is the background of their family. It would be better to share some information regarding to how they succeed from gambling industry since most people failed to achieve a similar milestone when it comes to gambling. Their experiences, tips and insights could help us distinguish a clear path to success even though some of the games played are based on luck.

Singapore have high cost of living though..

No more Rekt and Bust
Cool way to be accepted by society if the family can prove themselves in this journey. It is real journey in modern society to be "whitelisted".
Regarding the questions: Only me and my third brother have the interest to share our inside analyses with each other and we justify our reasons in case of a big loss.  I doubt teaching the secrets to relatives will add something valuable in our lives, so better to be safe rather than explaining the solution for gambling addiction.
