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.
There is no real bond when a father likes to gamble and make his son play gambling because of a father's genes problem, it's just an old story that is outdated is not right for me, the main factor of gambling addiction is the association of a child who goes into gambling, for me is very common for teenagers at their age, does not rule out gambling will not be avoided, starting from the classic game and just a momentary pleasure from growing more and more into to get into the real gambling hole.
