I know most of you might think I’m an irresponsible gambler after reading this. But let me share a bit of my story first....

I started gambling when I was around 10 years old, IIRC. It was because of family influence, and yes I eventually got addicted. Hard to admit, but it’s the truth. over time though, I’ve seen some positive outcomes from my gambling experience. I became wiser, more calculated, and a bigger risk-taker and I was able to apply that mindset in running my own business.

Now, I’m a father, and my 17-year-old daughter is starting to gamble too playing slots and even doing some sports betting. I don’t know how to feel, part of me feels oddly proud of what she’s doing.

What does that make me?
You need to stop her by all means, she's a woman and eventually get married one day and it's not going to help her at her husbands house and believe me no man would want to keep a gambler as a wife despite the love they may both have for each other but it won't help matters, and again you might be lucky and it might kind of favor you but note all don't have same grace, if gambling favors you it might wreck her, and again she's a woman, just stop her it's not good for her, I will definitely affect her future if she should get addicted to it.
