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.
I don't think so that it will pass through by genes but it might give a big impact to children when seeing their parents and also the environment . I have a cousins their father is really a gambler and knows lots of kinds in gambling but even one of the siblings don't know how to play even a simple game.
Here in my country it is normal that the parent and their daughter/son play together, I can see that they are enjoying and felt comfortable gambling .
