\- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

This is too much to believed already. Gambling-habit is related to DNA?

What's the connection of this? Not all articles you see on the web is legit.

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

Gamblers are just human regardless of what culture they used to.

It's obvious that any forms of gambling-related checking or what you are trying to point out are also applied to all people. I don't see any reason why should they be exclude on the usual checking methods.

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

Same as answer as above. They are also human therefore addiction will depend on how far they will managed it along the way.

Addiction can’t be inherit, its not on the genes and you can have the choice either to gamble or not.
I used to see my parents playing some game cards in our locals, but look at me now I’m not a gambler that much and I only play occasionally so I really think this is still your choice and not because of someones genes. Gambling is something that you can learn because of money, and nothing more.

- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

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

- Its not DNA but its rather a personal kind of choice because ive known people who are showing or going opposite even if their surrounding do engage with gambling activities.

- Nothing is different because everything would really be basing on your choice.
- Nothing is different whether you had get on being influenced or on your personal choice then it wouldnt matter. There's no difference to that.

Gambling is anywhere so it's up to the person if they will enter the world of gambling. It's a choice not came from everywhere cause if you have a mindset that gambling is good and bring you a lot of money then that kind of mindset is not good cause gambling is base on your luck you can not win every bet but you were lost big than winning. The main problem of the gambling addict is the gambler itself if they let gambling will take over them and fall into a trap.
Everything could really be depending on someones decisions on what are the things that they would really be tending to get engaged off and something that do talks about gambling behavior then this is something that

had been acquired and its not really hereditary which i dont really see the relevance for it to be considered to be like that.Even your parents are involved in gambling activity but if you child or
son does have their own will and find out that it isnt something good for you then you would normally be  avoiding it off as much as you could which i could say a very normal thing
for a person to make out decisions basing on what they do know or simply with their self awareness.

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 ,

I am not so sure I agree with the results of the research, I could understand if there were a few genes that could cause compulsive behavior which causes all the different kind of addictions that we see.

However something as specific as a particular gene which regulates our gambling behavior seems to be something awfully specific, especially when we consider that gambling games should be a relatively new invention and as such there should not have been enough time for the evolution to create a gene specific to gambling.

-Not good to blame someone who is addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA, A person's fate can be changed by that person, including addiction.
-Of course they can, it's better now than in the past because we have psychologists who can help relieve the suffering of gamblers, consulting with several methods to control it.
-Yeah, worse addiction.

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 think it does not have to do with the genes perse, but it has something to do on how the child is brought up with.

If the child, while growing up, was exposed severely to an environment where everyone around him suffers from gambling addiction, chances are that the child would inherit such lifestyle, thus sparking his curiosity. What matters is that, the child is exposed to an environment where learning and curiosity exists. Of course, genes may be a factor but it wholly depends on the environment and lifestyle he/she is brought up with.

I try to explain this to enter the category of motivation. Although gambling is considered bad, motivation also enters a person based on internal and external factors. It could be family and friends. Then it could be that it comes from your own research where you have access to the internet and watch gambling based advertisements so that you are motivated to push yourself to know about gambling.
After that, compare it with the OP's condition about what he felt and experienced. Isn't it not necessarily the desire to gamble that suddenly appears except? there must be a driving factor. Cause and effect here have a great influence on one's decisions.

Probably, this could be cause that in some family there are many players. In my one, we're not gambler, I'm the only one that sometimes loves to put some bet (anything of serious), but to my father's family (his brother)

were big gambler, maybe this can explain my sort of passion for gambling. If this is true, hope that my child won't be gambler.

hi,Op;
I am not a player by condition but by conviction, there is always a lot of information on the negative side, a lot of negative documentation, eye I do not mean you (OP) in general to Internet.

There is a study that mentions the index of evil and it is discussed in depth if people are born "bad person" in that sense and given the world we live in, it is good that a gaming gene can be inherited, it is not so bad for society.

So, and in a certain way the point in question is... as it happens with other professions and/or abilities, nothing guarantees that good or bad habits are inherited and consequently, although these genes exist, each individual story is different.

I don't believe its in the gene. Its always about the  influence of environment. When you grow up  along with people who plays cards at home but not betting money, I'm sure you lean how to play but maybe not to gamble. You could be triggered to gamble when you  are inside a casino. Playing cards with family members are fun but when there will be money on the table, its already influencing a person to gamble.

It is not enough to inherit a gene to manifest a certain inclination.
in biology the manifestations are always a mix of genotype and phenotype and excluding very rare and very particular cases, only one of the two factors is not enough to create a certain inclination. there is always a mix. E.G you can be an addicted gambler just because you have a lot of friends that play heavily ...

I never blame someone addicted to gambling because it's in their DNA because I think we actually have a choice to be a gambler or to be someone we want to be. We choose our way of life independent of DNA because we choose for ourselves what we want.

If a person ends up being a gambler, I don't think it will have anything to do with his DNA but it is his choice even if, seeing from his DNA, he has descendants as a gambler.

What method do you mean? Is it a method to overcome gambling addiction or something else?

Gambling addiction is probably worse because he must only think about gambling and how he can have the money to continue gambling. Not even for his life or when he would stop to work on anything else.

It's really difficult if they gamble because there are descendants or parents deliberately gamble near their children, these habits will certainly form in the children themselves to grow up in the gambling environment. Such a case will be very difficult to control in the usual way, because the usual way to control gambling comes from oneself. Well, if the case is that the child lives in a strong environment in gambling, then there is no other way to deal with it except with an expert or something like a place where they will be guided to avoid or eliminate the gambling habit they experience.

Okay, I am kind of frightened by what you just brought up now. My father was a gambler but I didn't think it will be genetically be inherited.
I thought it was my friends who should be blamed with at why gambling had been my hobby and I still think of it right now. We use to play poker when we were kids so I got used to putting money at every game I would play and that's while I am growing up.
Maybe. It could be inheritance but I still don't think it that way. It could be my fault too by being too curious about it. Some fault from my Dad by letting us see what he is doing.

Gambling isn't hereditary but rather habitual wherein our kids could also follow in our footsteps if we allow them. We can't blame our ancestors because gambling is a personal choice and a personal decision. No one forced us to do it and we have the freedom to choose our path. If our parents or family members are into, we could actually change our own paths.

If anyone wants to succeed or fail in a fast time then gambling is the only way. Gambling can change your position quickly at any time that you can't even imagine. You are more likely to fail if you do not have to be prudent when gambling.

genes rule at least 50 percent of a persons propensity to gamble irrespective of sex

This is very high so if one of your parents is hooked on gambling, some scenarios and companions can get you into gambling and you can easily fall for it because it is inherent in you, parents who have stopped gambling should double their effort so their children will not become addicted to gambling because of the high percentage of them carrying the urge, this is something new many of us here do not know this study.

Not in my blood I think but I love gambling, well, when I was still young, I can already see my relatives gambling, especially on card games, so I learn when I was a kid and I bring it until I matured. Gambling is really risky but as long as you know how to control yourself, you will be able to enjoy it despite the fact that you lose most of the time.

Admit it or not, most gamblers are losers, that's the reality, but we become more losers if we don't gamble responsibly.

LOL that's the first time I have heard someone to say that gambling can be genetic.
I would never believe that because habits can be changed and gambling is just one form of entertainment.
Nobody is born a criminal and similarly nobody is born a gambler. It's just the surrounds that put the thought in the person to start gambling.

I am sorry to burst this bubble but there is no gambling gene, gambling is not wired into our DNA. My parents, grand parents and my uncles are not got into gambling. My Dad has never seen a casino from the inside and is against any games that involved money, and still I love gambling. As soon as I turned 18 I visited my first casino even though my parents were strictly against it. In my opinion the interest in gambling comes from friends who have similar interests and not from genetic connections in our body. Also what about the many children who want to be the opposite of their parents? I would expect many children who see their parents gamble to not do it.
