This was the discussion topic we were having last night, a bunch of gambling friends and one of them an expecting dad. There were counter arguments that his child also would turn out a gambler like he is.

The arguments were that it is his in his gene and that'll pass on to his child, since every one in his family was a gambler.

The counter argument was that the child would make a logical decision and genes won't play any part in this.

Which brought us to another important question what if turns out a gambler would they both play together. Would he be comfortable?

Amid this he walked out and texted me he didn't wish to gamble anymore, so wanted your views on this.
My father is a gambler all his life and growing up I’ve seen him do his thing I even know the people he gamble with and became my friend as well but I can say that I never got the gambler side of him because I value money so much its not that I haven’t tried doing but not like him that he can’t go a day without gambling. So I think it really depends on the child if he/she knows that doing such will bring no good then he/she will decide if he/she wants that kind of life.
