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.

Genes has nothing to do with gambling. My family are really fond of gambling, but I am not. Maybe some may think that gambling addiction is in their blood line because most of their family members are enjoying gambling.

This kind of fatalistic way of thinking is a big mistake the fact that all your family does something does not mean that you need to follow the same path and this applies not only in the negative but not on the positive as well, I knew a family in which everyone was a doctor and they were trying to push their kid to be a doctor as well but he didn't wanted to do it because he did not like it and wanted to be something else, so you must remember that we are completely free to choose our own fate.
