I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is
gambling can be hereditary ,
Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.
You have jumped to conclusions. The article itself states:
Slutske says that there is probably no specific “gambling gene”
So we have another study that points to conclusions that we can by no means take for granted. Pubmed is full of studies that draw opposite conclusions, and in all cases the scientific method has been followed.
I doubt very much that there is a gene that makes you addicted to gambling. Some people are genetically more prone to addiction than others, yes, but fundamentally it is the environment, education and life circumstances that have the greatest influence.
