Micheal Jordan gambled away $5 million dollars in one night[1], he is a Billionaire, but that does not remove the fact that that's a hell lots of money to gamble away in just one night, you might want to say he is an adult and a Billionaires, and he is free to spend his money in which ever way he wants - understandable... Now, what about his son?
Marcus Jordan is just 19 years old, he spent a whooping $50,000 dollars in one night in Las Vegas on gambling and drinking in a strip night club[1][2][3], the report shows he threw away $35,000 in gambling while $15,000 went into drinking alcohol and girls in the club, and do not forget that it is illegal to drink and gamble under the age of 21 in the state of Nevada where they live....
The young lad even posted that night's expenditures on his Twitter account where he said , and I quote....
This (from the articles) I believe happened in 2010, but I believe it's a fresh story for those of us getting to know this for the first time,
What do you make out of this story, should we really allow our children to live such a lifestyle like gambling and night clubbing, most especially, when they are still under aged?
Let's discuss about this..

This is really a situation where the African saying "LIKE FATHER LIKE SON" comes in. Just from your quotes of what both the father and the son said, it doesn't seem to me that they were really bothered about the whooping sum of money that was spent, and I guess those gambling sites would really have been dancing so hard those nights. My first question was how did Marcus come about such amount of money if not from his father? Which means his dad which I believe has already provided him with all the luxuries of life still pumps in huge sum of money into his son's account and he knows fully well that it will be squandered. So I believe every family has it's ethics of raising a child(Ren).
Personally I don't think letting children underaged gamble is right as it is also against both gambling and betting regulations if almost every country that allows betting and gambling
