[experience]; In one family all professional gamblers.

[YOSHIE]

So, the story goes like this;
Yesterday I visited a friend's house, he has been a citizen of Singapore, so I have long, not met my friend, he contacted me, then I visited his house.

What's strange to me is; my friend has 4 siblings, all male, only his mother is female, so all four of them are all professional gambling players and they are a huge success in the world of gambling.
In terms of economics they are classified as successful, if they bet gambling ever joined, they do not hide and worry anymore to their families.
Honestly I am proud to see them succeed in gambling and lucky families.

So, arise in my mind and the question arises.....!
[1]. Are there friends in this forum that are the same as my friends...! yes, I mean in this forum that one family is involved in gambling.
[2]. It's good, if we teach our brother or sister to bet in gambling like we have today....!
[3]. Or we don't need to tell our families money from gambling and also we are not involved in gambling...!

Thanks.
Regards.
Yoshie.

1. You mean bitcointalk members with a family of gamblers? I can't say but I've also seen some families who are heavily involved in gambling. I don't consider them as successful though because of their debts.
2. I don't mind teaching them how to play poker/blackjack and other games but I won't force them to place a bet.
3. I don't think there's a need to hide it as long as you are not bothering them (i.e. borrowing money to gamble or worst stealing from them)

[electronicash]

its not strange to me. brothers always share and each other what they learned. but there is still something like a taboo to it when parents are around. my parents and brothers knew i'm gambling in the nearby makeshift casino but there is no talks about it when our parents is around. its like we whisper questions how much is loss in the previous session.

[Ryker1]

Well, I have also a question that arises in my mind. How old are they? Are they responsible enough to manage their money and have their own stable job to sustain their habits on gambling? Those are very simple questions but it has a perfect answer if I know your response.
[1] In this forum I don't have but there are too many of them in my neighborhood. The father and the sons will go to gamble but not include his mother and sisters.
[2] This is very crucial if your brother and sister don't have a job or even underage, there is a qualification before you get involve in gambling to be considered, perhaps at the right age.
[3] There is no need to hide if this is not against your religion and in your country where you live.

i really dont see much that kind of setup to most families. maybe for brothers but along with their mother, i dont think so. or maybe their mother is already part of it in his friend's case because they are already successful in gambling. they are lucky as not many people can be successful in gambling.
 gambling is not for all people. i wont teach it to my brother or sister but rather will tell them to finish their education and get a real job or business
and if youre in gambling, no need to hide it from anyone else if youre not harming them. because sooner or later, they will know that you are into gambling.

[pixie85]

Gambling is not all fun and positive experience. It all often ends in tears.

I would never try to get my siblings involved in gambling and not because I don't like it or think it's bad. I like it but I don't want to take responsibility for other people's mistakes and misery, especially people who are close to me and who I will have to keep seeing in that mess. It should always be their choice. If they choose to gamble I will not interfere but they should be aware of the consequences.

[harizen]

I think for a family like that, I will assume they were able to sustain their long-term gambling activity because they have a stable and strong business or source of income to the point that a loss in gambling can be covered easily. That reason alone makes them become comfortable in doing gambling since they will never bear any losses.

As a result, no pressure at all when doing gambling and they become successful in the long-run.

So, arise in my mind and the question arises.....!

1. I knew lots of families who are involved in gambling here but not to the point they are successful in doing it. It's just that doing gambling became part of their daily lifestyle since then.

2. Not necessary though. Only if they asked me for some advice and tips.

3. It depends. There are families who are open about it while on the other hand, there are strict too in terms of doing gambling. As for me, no one stops me from doing gambling, of course as I continue to become a responsible and disciplined one.

Well I guess it sounds quite normal to me, every one can be taught how to gamble, every one is free to gamble what's wrong is when you gamble in out of your league, like spending too much and some sort of that. Well I think they are all taught by their elders in the family, inspired somehow when their elders won and getting a bunch of money and so they also push themselves to do the same. Here in my area I know some people, relatives that hosts a gambling house (underground) illegal but that's the life I get used to, and sometimes I play with them. Don't tell the police lol  

[BALIK]

I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary.

Typically one successful individual in a family will bring the rest of his/her family members into his/her line of work. If this is gambling, then it's only natural that the family members would also be involved in this industry.

This is particularly true when you're talking about a skilled gambling profession—such as a professional poker or baccarat player. Experts can pass on their knowledge to their family members, thereby making it much easier to succeed.

I find it unlikely that you'd see a bunch of successful luck-based gamblers in a single household, since that would be an extraordinary rarity.

[RapTarX]

All of questions depend on the culture of a nation. To most of the people from India, gambling isn't good at all. Therefore, there's very tiny chance of people having such condition in a family. Hence, it's too unlikely that people will encourage their brother/sister to gambling.

What's strange to me is; my friend has 4 siblings, all male, only his mother is female, so all four of them are all professional gambling players and they are a huge success in the world of gambling.

You didn't tell us what kind of gambling your friend's family plays. It would be interesting to hear what kind of gambling game you can achieve a stable winning result.

So, arise in my mind and the question arises.....!

I don't have any friends who are constantly earning money from gambling.
I myself only gamble for fun so I recommend my friends to play just the way I do.

[serjent05]

Well, I have also a question that arises in my mind. How old are they?

Possibly, they are at a legal age since they can't be called professional gambler if they are still minors.

Are they responsible enough to manage their money and have their own stable job to sustain their habits on gambling? Those are very simple questions but it has a perfect answer if I know your response.

OP stated that they are successful in field of gambling, meaning they have above average kind of living.  I am sure they are responsible enough to manage their funds, else they will never be a successful professional gambler.


[1] My friends are quite conservative so they avoid gambling activities, so no.
[2] Well, in a family, sharing is caring.  If someone find a strategy on how to have a wealthy life, then the member that know it will definitely share it.
[3] Depends on the culture of the family, if the family are open minded then most probably they will share their gambling experience if not then, all is kept in a secret.

1. You mean IRL friends? I know some gamblers but i cant really that consider for them to be successful which might be totally opposite into your friends the way you do describe them.
2. No, i wont consider it even though im bit profitable in gambling field but i dont have the plans on sharing or teaching my younger brother or sister.You wouldnt know on what would happen to them.
3. Its a must thing that you shouldnt tell anyone and hence, you do play for entertainment right? If it comes to the point that you are living with it then theres no
way that you can hide it naturally and it would be surely exposed of.

[Baofeng]

I think this is not new, in other professions you can find similarities. Just like family of doctors or nurses, aunts, uncles, cousins, everyone is involved in this professions because that how they are "build" so to speak. I know a lot of gamblers, family of gamblers that has been involved, from the parents to the sons and daughters. And I think this is what we call influence as they move on the same circles. In this forum though, we don't know the identifies of everyone and I doubt that someone will come out to tell that he is related to this and that user. It is good? well it depends, just like I said, if that is what the father brings food to the table, then it is. I think sooner or later your family will find that you are gambler, so it really up to you to tell them face to face or let them know until it's too late.

[Ayiranorea]

Teaching about gambling to our siblings and making them gamblers is an easy task, but guiding them to be a professional gambler isn't easy. Particularly to be a professional gambler he/she requires a huge fund. From my personal view, even a professional gambler have lost big to attain this position. Initially large fund backup is a must, and continued learning on strategies is a must. Very few can get this access.

[btc_angela]

This is more than a rule than an exception, family of professional gamblers or at least being involved in gambling is nothing new, like in this case, Are The Mizrachis Now The First Family Of Poker?.

[2]. Case to case basis, if your sister or brother doesn't want to involved themselves in your gambling then you can't do anything about it right? You can't just simply force it to her/his face and just tell start gambling because you can make a lot of money.

[3]. I'm not sure about this one, as most gamblers are really good as hiding their habits that turn into addiction.

[FlightyPouch]

My family usually do tongits after lunch or sometimes before a siesta but we children are not allowed to join. Just my grandma, grandpa and all of their children circling on the table and betting a peso. It is fun but when my grandparents died, that tradition is also stopped. We are not professionals but it is kind of a tradition.

[StephenJH]

Cool way to be accepted by society if the family can prove themselves in this journey. It is real journey in modern society to be "whitelisted".
Regarding the questions: Only me and my third brother have the interest to share our inside analyses with each other and we justify our reasons in case of a big loss.  I doubt teaching the secrets to relatives will add something valuable in our lives, so better to be safe rather than explaining the solution for gambling addiction.

I wonder what is the background of their family. It would be better to share some information regarding to how they succeed from gambling industry since most people failed to achieve a similar milestone when it comes to gambling. Their experiences, tips and insights could help us distinguish a clear path to success even though some of the games played are based on luck.

Singapore have high cost of living though..

i like your story . its rare to a 4 members of the family that are succesful and pro in gambling . is that means all of them are lucky and skillfull ? wow but you didnt include of the history of their mothers  . are thier mothers or father involved on gambling before ? because being skillful or pro in gambling can also be inherit  .  i have a friend and thier family allows him to gamble because my friend is in his right age  . my friend is a guy , he is only allowed to gamble but his sisters are restricted while she gambles secretly and she dont tell that to her mom
