As far as I know alcoholism can be transmitted on a genetic level as this disease affects genes, destroying them. You can easily notice it in families which have an alcoholic father in the head of the family and live in poverty. This is unlikely to happen with gambling as it only affects a person's psychology. So if you are into gambling it does not mean that your children will have the same hobbies.
I wouldn't be so sure about that sir. If you're a gambler you can also inspire your child, and if him/her likes it, they will start to gamble like you, and this should be avoided, like the smoke, many people start to smoke in
young age because of their parents (they see it, they see the way that they moved hands while smokin ecc.).
