Gambling is not good for everybody whether it's an adult or young, it is only good for some set of people with the right psychology for it. These set of people might fall or not fall at the legal age, yet they must still be restrained until they have the full right by law to gamble. I know that Micheal Jordan would have regretted what he did that night, and this could be reasoned by such story not repeating itself.
And as a parent, I don't think it is responsible for any parents to allow their children to gamble until they reach the freedom and legal age where parents have no total control over them anymore. Even at that, parents should still be advising and counselling their children on how to live a good life, where gambling responsibly should be among.

I don't think that this topic is about Gambling. It's more about being humble and have some decency, while you are living an easy life in God-mode and you have everything served on a silver platter. 
Michael Jordan decides what to do with his money and how to teach his son some life lessons(if he's ever going to teach him about anything).
Life always comes back and bites you in the a$$, it doesn't matter how rich you are.
I don't have children, but if I had any children, I would never give them money for gambling and strip clubs. Even if I was a millionaire or billionaire, I would never do such thing.

I have a daughter and usually females are rarely attracted by strip clubs or gambling so I start advantaged in this way.If I had a son though I would make sure to show him by examples what this action brings now and in the future and to educate him on a case by case basis until he learned that everything that comes from something that you do not sweat for will not stay long with you,for example the money you win from gambling.You go back to the casino until you lose everything and that is the law of life otherwise we would have seen casinos made millionaires (I mean except people who win multi million dollar jackpots).

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?
I have posted several times on this forum that my kids may not know that I am gambling, that I would prefer only my wife to know about it. I still do not know what would be my conclusion about this yet, if it is right thing for someone to let his children to know if he is gambling or not. But I am still thinking that it would be most appropriate to let them know but to teach them how addiction can be and how to avoid it. But as of now,I am having plan to just hide it from children and yet let them know what is gambling addiction and how to avoid it. 
- 5M$ dollars is equivalent to 290M in our money. That kind of value here is that you have your own company to speak of. In Michael Jordan's situation, that kind of value to him might be a coin or he just doesn't care about it. Now, regarding his son, we don't know if Michael Jordan knows that his son gambled that amount or maybe He knows where He might also tolerated His son for this habit.
Of course, if I were a parent at that age of my son, I would never allow my child to gamble like that just to enjoy his life. Other rich people should teach their children how to value money, and they should learn to work hard for it before getting it so that they grow up knowing and knowing how to appreciate the money they worked for.

We are going to be using Micheal Jordan as our case study :
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..
