Gambling can be genetic and passed on to offspring, but I have noticed that females are not addicted as male when it comes to gambling and that gives me doubt about it, or maybe that is how it is in my region, men are most into gambling. Or maybe the gene is more concentrated in men than women.

No one can blame addicts, but any bad deeds done by them can be punished. The more fact we need is that addiction is not good, it can lead to a kind of life someone do not wish for himself, the reason we should use just the amount of money we can afford to lose and nothing more than that.

I don't think gambling is a traits that can be passed from one offspring to another, gambling is a game just like other sport which is mainly attracted to the males. Traits that can be passed from one offspring to another are temperament, emotional traits, the DNA is in charge of it, and gambling is not controlled by DNA. Gambling lifestyle only becomes serious when their is no self control to make decisions how to go about gambling.

I think gambling could actually be passed on from a parent to a child. Let me paint a scenario here. Let's use a situation where the addict is saddled with the responsibility of taking care of the child as there is probably no one at home to watch the child, the urge to gamble could arise and due to the lack of control he may have, might decide to take the kid to the casino or gambling house.
As the child grows up, he may grow up with this attitude.

As for adults who have already smoked, it will remain like that.
Maybe it's not related to DNA but maybe how we can choose which one to use and that's more personal.

Seems you're contradicts yourself.
If you said the environment is full of smokers, then you will become smoker too. But you said it's depend on your personal choice, this mean environment do not always make the adult become smoker even he surrounded full of smokers.

But the OP is about the transfer of gambling from parents to kids - which is not possible - because not all the kids become gamblers if the parents are gamblers. However it is also one of the possibility that gamblers kids refuse to gamble incase they dislike gambling.

Don't forget almost all parents often advice to not follow his bad habit or don't become like him at all and teach why they shouldn't become like him, his kids will know why the reason.

I don't understand why most people view gambling as an illegal/criminal/bad thing to do, because if you can control yourself you will know gambling is good for your mind and health due to stressed out of working entire days.

This is a good comparison, we should understand that it is our choice to get addict into something and most of the time if the Children sees the addiction of their parents, they started to hate it. In the situation of my friend, his parents is a liquor addict and when his parent get drunk, they became insane and starts to hurt his siblings so this kind of trauma makes them hate beer, and that is also a proof that addiction can’t be inherit. We all have our own choices here especially if you are already on a legal age, always choose what’s best for you.

That is correct personal choice is a different thing and addiction is an other. But we can not say it at all that just because our parents were smokers - kids are smoking. My father was a chain smoker. But none of my sibling likes smoking at all. Why it has not been transferred through genes? because it is not in DNA

Yes, you are right. If the environment around the children does not have children who smoke, it could be that later when they grow up, no one will smoke either.
As for adults who have already smoked, it will remain like that.
There are also those whose fathers don't smoke at all, but their children are surrounded by smoking children, which makes them smoke as well.
Maybe it's not related to DNA but maybe how we can choose which one to use and that's more personal.

Very well said, but gambling and smoking are entirely different, there's no thrill in smoking while there's a huge thrill in gambling because you have a chance to win big money if you will try to risk money. Sometimes we are influenced if we see people inside the family that are winning in gambling, which will result in curiosity and we will also try to experiment on our own.

-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

Let me just use an illustration to give my input on this topic. Looking at Ronaldo and Messi, it's clear that Ronaldo built himself due to constant practice (which is like him picking up the habit) while Messi is naturally gifted (which is like footballing is in his DNA). Without much debate we know Messi is mile ahead of Ronaldo although some will disagree and that's solely due to Ronaldo's personality and respect for hard work. Now when you're born with something, you're naturally gifted in the area and it would be evident when you work on that gift.

The gambler would inherited the act is likely to be more addictive then the users that just got addicted due to some circumstances. He would picked up the habit would probably let it go if he gets an alternative to gambling but he would has a family history would die a gamble.

Gambling is an addition - it is not transferred through DNA - like smoking is an addiction and it is not transferred through DNA as well.
Many kids do not copy their parents bad habit. Some of them do. Like our parents use to smoke and we didn't like it all. That is a personal choice but nothing to do with the chromosomes.

Well, i have observed this from my neighborhood, that most of them have turned into gamblers. Maybe heredity still counts as whatever the tree, so is the fruit. But having an environment that is full of gamblers may also have a big effect on the young ones. It's like their young minds have been motivated that gambling can make them rich, or the reason that they don't struggles in life. However, when they grow old and mature, they will eventually discover the real effects of gambling, and its their choice whether to do the same or just get rid of gambling.

Me as well, my neighbor turned their house into a small mahjong place wherein most of them are the players and other of my neighbors as well. I remember a time that a police came to their house but due to the influence of the owner in the compound, police turn around and left. It is prohibited to play a local gambling without a permit and license from the government, but people will still play since there will be a chance that they will get more money when they win. Environment do affects a person behavior and also what will he about to do in his life in the future, but that doesn't mean be cannot be change, gambling addiction doesn't run in the blood.

I'm not sure about the DNA thingy though, maybe it has, but I think it's probably on what they see on their parents that is pass from generations to generations, not DNA per se. If you see you parents at a young age, have gambling sessions in your house (this is prevalent is Asian Culture, playing mah-jong). Definitely you can inherited this as you grow old. So it is still the environment that is the influencing factor and I think majority of gamblers some kind of interaction or exposed to gambling when they are very young. But we have a choice, whether to fall victim or not.

I think, in general, it's harder for people to stop their addiction when it's genetic. Most of the time, they will always come back to what makes them happy or what makes them feel fulfilled or something. It will be hard to overcome that, but that's just how you will know how strong the person is with willpower.

Comparing them to someone who has just gotten into the habit it's doing it is challenging. I think there's no significant difference.

The same if we are genetically skinny or fat, no matter what exercise and changing our eating habits we do, our body will still remain skinny or fat. While there are some cases where they successfully change their body but the effort that they put is too much and if they will stop trying, they will quickly go back again on their original form.

The same thing can be experienced if we are genetically addicted to gambling. It sucks that we are built on that way without even trying to while to some people they became addicted because they keeps on gambling although it can be much easier for them to quit it since it was not genetically inherited to them.

While it is true that your specific genetics can create in people certain tendencies, at the same time I think we give to them to much weight as people can overcome those tendencies and become whatever they want.

Some people may have tendencies which make them more likely to become addicted, but as long as they are disciplined they can live their lives without ever falling into addiction if they develop themselves in a way that makes them more resistant to those temptations.

But as a parent then you should really be mindful on your activities which you do know that it could give out negative effects or something that could be seen by your children and as a guardian then
we arent that dumb that gambling could give more negative effects rather than on positive ones because if we do really talk solely about entertainment then we know that gambling isnt
the only choice for that but there are things which you could eventually engage without needing on spending money or needs to deal with gambling.Its true and just like what most people been
saying that this isnt something that could be inherited but rather depends on the behavior and different taking of an individual.We might be close or identical on DNA but doesnt mean
that everything would really be passed on.

Sadly most parents and guardians even though know the fact that their public actions affect the kids, they are not keen on their responsibility but rather give priority to the type of activities that entertain them such as gambling. Kids might see them doing these gambling activities thus inherit those traits when these kids grow up. As for the DNA imprint, it is quite vague and debatable since most of us do not believe that but who are we to refute when we cannot also show that the parents' gambling traits aren't imprinted on the gene of their kids. We cannot say that the statement is true if we cannot produce any proof that what we are telling is correct.

As far as I know alcoholism can be transmitted on a genetic level as this disease affects genes, destroying them. You can easily notice it in families which have an alcoholic father in the head of the family and live in poverty. This is unlikely to happen with gambling as it only affects a person's psychology. So if you are into gambling it does not mean that your children will have the same hobbies.

I wouldn't be so sure about that sir. If you're a gambler you can also inspire your child, and if him/her likes it, they will start to gamble like you, and this should be avoided, like the smoke, many people start to smoke in

young age because of their parents (they see it, they see the way that they moved hands while smokin ecc.).

I disagree - my father was a chain smoker and none of his kids liked it. We don't smoke because we have seen our father battling hard to quit smoking when he learnt that he is not going to survive. WE have smoking we really do. I wish no one ever smoke in their lives so that their kids do not suffer at all.

Its a personal choice but there are things which could really trigger out or would really be convincing you to do so just because your father or someone do permits you to do so thats why it does really
give out some impact even we do say that we dont like it but on the time you've been seeing it for how many times then most likely you would really be dealing or doing it on the future.
Behavior cant really be inherited but something that could rather influence you into your future actions but of course not all would really be that easily get influenced if you do have that fixed
mindset or beliefs in life that you do strictly follow or do depends on your preference.

It all depends on each person's choice, I have several friends whose fathers are addicted to gambling, but my friends are not interested in gambling
at all. Even my friend thinks negatively about gambling, therefore gambling can't necessarily be passed on to our descendants if we don't affect
our children. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much if we are addicted to gambling, not necessarily our children will be addicted to
gambling too. It all depends on how a person is affected by gambling itself, so if we don't want our children to be addicted to gambling,
we must provide education about gambling. In fact, I find many people addicted to gambling even though their parents are very religious,
in the end how to control ourselves to the environment around us is very important.

Gambling is a bad addiction. It never spreads through DNA. This is a social problem. It may be that someone in a family is addicted to gambling, and seeing him there, another member of the family may become involved in gambling. Someone can involve in gambling with his gambler friend. And if someone gambles for entertainment, gambling can become an additional addiction.

True, no matter how a gambler is addicted to gambling, gambling can never be found in their DNA. Gambling addiction is caused by continuous exposure to games and gaming activities and anyone interested in doubling their funds can easily become addicted to gambling. Being closer to an addicted gambler can automatically make some one who is not in to gambling to inherit the mindset of a gambler and when this is not controlled by the person, it will become another problem for both parties.

Yes this is true, gambling addiction is not in the blood, addiction comes from to much exposure of games . If you look at every gambler very well you would get to know that they have serious love for game. Saying gambling addiction can be inherited is like also saying hobbies can be inherited too.

Gambling is no exception but it is a behaviour it is not transferred through DNA. However children can look up to parents and either they would choose to gamble or they would disapprove to gambling. That too is the personal choice. My friend said his father used to take drugs and they have seen so much trouble in their home.They don't like to smoke at all - because they hate smoking and drug.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

There is no relationship at all with blood factors, DNA or other hereditary diseases. If parents let their children see the daily routine, it is an indirect form of education. Especially about gambling when you express your excitement while playing in front of the monitor screen, it has more of an effect on the child's psyche and will start to find out and learn without hesitation what you are doing.
