This can be inform of trait that could make the person to have vast interest in gambling. There are some persons whose fathers are crazy gambling master and having child that have almost thesame love or interest in gambling activities is possible. Gambling addiction depend on how frequent we gambling and what makes us to keep gambling whether for the love we have for it or the little profits we do make from it. Gambling addiction is real and many victims have different reason why they became addicted to gambling.
Yes, gambling addiction is a real thing that can happen to anyone who plays gambling and we never know when we can become addicted.
Only being careful when playing gambling can make us always aware that gambling is an activity that can make us forget what we must do and that is independent of hereditary factors.
If a father is a gambler, it is not certain that his child will become a gambler, especially if, from a young age, his son has seen his father's bad habits so that he can say that he will never play gambling in his life.
Everything will depend on how a person can carry himself well and behave better than his father.

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.

It seems that it is in the DNA and that it can pass more easily to the children. It depends on how much the child is exposed to gambling. Men have a much higher chance of a gambling addiction than women, because of the different area of interest. That's not to say that women aren't prone to addiction, though. But it could also be that the father is heavily gambling and that the son is not gambling at all. That is again due to the DNA from both parents.
This is just another excuse for being a gambling addict, we cannot blame our parents for our own decision and that gambler might use this excuse so he can avoid being interrogated. I don’t think it can be passed to your DNA because gambling is just a game, and we can argue that those who are good in sports their children can’t be good as well, because its all about your trainings and sacrifices. There’s no Doctor that can say your DNA is too exposed in gambling, so for me it can be inherited. 

And you are right, it can't be. If people's attractions and "quirks" were in the DNA, you'd have children craving the same foods as their parents. Have you ever seen that happen? I haven't. Children develop their own taste and there are things they don't like early on in their lives but can acquire a taste for later on.
You often see parents who are good at math have children who are good at languages and bad at math. You often see children of people who keep bees being allergic to bee stings. You don't inherit these things.

The only thing people seem to inherit are diseases, including mental.

We cannot blame a person for having a genetic predisposition to gambling. However, if the addict is not trying to distance himself from gambling, we can blame him if he does not make an effort to get rid of the addiction. Our country, city, living conditions, climate can all be things that encourage us to gamble. We must not forget to strengthen our own will. Gambling should be viewed as a means of entertainment. We should stop gambling in every stressful moment. It is a pity to have a gambling addict in the family. Children imitate their parents. If we want to get rid of this situation and leave a clean future for our generations, we can try to taste different tastes of life.
If the parent are too exposed, there’s a tendency for their children to follow the foot steps of their parents and if they are a gambling addict, most probably their children can also be a gambler but that is not because of the genes being inherit, I guess its more of a choice. Gambler can control himself, I don’t think this is from a genes of your parents because my father is a gambler, but we are not. Let’s not think this way, and blame no one with regards to our gambling decision, again its always our choice.

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.
Genetically or some words that do connects out with genetics is something really off or not really relevant if we do talk about passing something into your children which its obviously a behavior not really

a part of genes or something thats why i dont really see the connection in between.IF we do make out some comparison in between physical structure attainment and behavior its totally a different story.
I dont know on why people do really been talking about inheriting gambling behavior considering that this is something which cant really be obtained through genes.
So its totally non sense if you do ask me.

I don't know.

He just said that.

Just because someone made money from gambling and despite being addicted, he thinks that it's okay to pass on that addiction and let it be inherited by their grandsons or sons.

It's really an off and odd comparison. Maybe there's a better explanation on that matter but for me, I don't see anything clear with it and it shouldn't be done.
Shouldnt really be done but instead we should do our best on not letting our sons and daughters on touching up gambling since we do know on what are the things that they could possibly experience which
isnt really that good because not all does have that good control when it comes to emotion when dealing with gambling. Anything or do talk about activities cant really be passed through genes.
Its not clear since its not totally relevant nor connected at all and just like on what others been saying which is actually true and on point.
I agree.

With our best capability, we shouldn't let them go near gambling despite we're gamblers because we understand what will be the bad effects to them.

We're not restricting them to gamble but it should be done at the right age and when they can support themselves and not with our pockets.

I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is gambling can be hereditary ,
Quote
Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.
This is one of the most unusual phenomena in analytical psychology, and there are many indications of inherited behaviors.
I live in a city known by the expanding growth of gambling activities before the advent of the internet and modern games, and everyone notices some of the families, many of whose members are famous as gamblers since their father inherited it as a behavior from their grandfather.
The problem is that it's not possible, until now, to acknowledge the seriousness of such studies because not everyone who has one of his fathers was a gambler will also be a gambler.
We also note the lack of this among women, meaning that the phenomenon is monitored and analyzed in men only, which makes coming up with a reliable result very difficult and will remain within the field of Speculation on the max.

- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?
I also have doubts in this fact. But I don't deny, children have parental traits. In this case that fact must be taken into. In a nutshell, generation after generation has been inherited so far, so why gamble shouldn't on the list?
Quote
-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?
Why not, if needed, can be fixed with psychologist therapy. Although it is inherited, I don't think it's a big hard thing that can't be changed.
Quote
-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?
Everything has a limit and once this limit is crossed it can never bring good thing rather than worse. Now you call it habit or addiction. And in this case gambling addiction or being a habit are both worse things

Well. This argument is hard pill to swallow. I know this. But I think being person who loves risks may pass from genes I think. Some people are always living in relaxed manner. For generations they never take risks and work at mediocre jobs etc. But some people love adrenaline, some people love to gamble away their money. Some feel stressed but some enjoy risks and gambling. Its possible.

Definitely right because after all, we have different environments and some acquire traits that are close to gambling and eventually they developed it to be more exactly the same as gambling and just one move and they find themselves playing casinos or any other games that involve betting. They cannot know for themselves that they are already addicted to it until they lose some big money and when they do, they will have some idea and depends on whether they want to stop it or not because addiction cannot be cured just by knowing you have it, you need to be patient and to be motivated to stop it from avoiding the things that triggered your addiction.

I think that there is a fundamental difference - in one case, you can correct the habit (behavior pattern) simply by abstaining and "forgetting" about the addiction, in the other case, no matter what you do, the "addiction" remains at the genetic level and this must be controlled all your life in order to avoid it. However, I have big doubts about the fact that there is some kind of genetic predisposition to gambling addiction.

Gambling which 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 gamble by his gambler friend. And if someone gambles for entertainment, gambling can become an additional addiction.
At last someone gets to understand. It's more of a social problem and it's very difficult these days for one not to try there lucks with gambling following the many advertisements that goes on these days. Viewing a show on your TV screen, the next advert your most likely to see is how somebuser have made off with an easy win off some prediction on a gambling site ormaybe you've got a neighbour, a friend, sibling, parent or so that does a lot of gambling and at times is met with some wins. Justblike that you feel like trying your stars and gradually builds an addiction towards gambling. It's just the way it is, no inheritance involved.

If we want to get rid of this situation and leave a clean future for our generations, we can try to taste different tastes of life.
The most important thing is for parents not to gamble near their child or who can be seen by the child because even, when parents do not give an example of gambling at all but in life over time a child will continue to gamble because it is influenced by friends and the surrounding environment and not from parents. In this case it proves that gambling itself will continue to grow even without having to be exemplified by parents, moreover if parents give an example, then of course a child will never be able to avoid it.

But then just like what one of the replies stated here, no matter how parents hide their gambling activity from their children or forbid their child to gamble, these kids when growing up will find gambling in its own way.  So I think it isn't the best approach to prevent kids from gambling without explaining why they should avoid it.  The reason should be explained profoundly so that kids can understand it very much.  So in a time when these kids encounter and get involved in gambling activities, they have the knowledge of why they need to control their gambling activities.

This kind of deep knowledge will be beneficial to those who have a tendency to indulge themselves in pleasure or inherited gambling traits because their rational thinking will possibly counter anything that might lead them to gambling addiction.

Their environment really contribute on what child can take in future since if they gamble and their children see it for sure they will take this as normal activities which they can join. And if their parents will not care if they see their children's already starting to gamble then maybe we can see them grow as a hardcore gambler in future. So at early stage on their lives parents should open up this kind of discussion and let their children aware on this then tell the risk about engaging on this activities since early education can save them to get away on addiction.

Well. This argument is hard pill to swallow. I know this. But I think being person who loves risks may pass from genes I think. Some people are always living in relaxed manner. For generations they never take risks and work at mediocre jobs etc. But some people love adrenaline, some people love to gamble away their money. Some feel stressed but some enjoy risks and gambling. Its possible.

The ones that do though,the ones that take risks and gamble away their money,by doing so they are also throwing away their relaxed manner of living and that is a huge loss in my opinion,so sure inherited genes are possible but why awaken them when they are in a deep sleep,and this awakening can do a lot of harm as we have seen many examples.

A lot of people who love adrenaline go to the casino,offline or online and they play there feeling a lot of emotions while gambling but in the end the only emotion they will feel is regret,rage and sadness.This is for the majority while a minority can walk away with a huge jackpot.I would rather keep these genes sleeping rather than awakening them and put my relaxed lifestyle at risk.
