Inherited gambling

[livingfree]

I don't know.

He just said that.

Just because someone made money from gambling and despite being addicted, he thinks that it's okay to pass on that addiction and let it be inherited by their grandsons or sons.

It's really an off and odd comparison. Maybe there's a better explanation on that matter but for me, I don't see anything clear with it and it shouldn't be done.

Shouldnt really be done but instead we should do our best on not letting our sons and daughters on touching up gambling since we do know on what are the things that they could possibly experience which
isnt really that good because not all does have that good control when it comes to emotion when dealing with gambling. Anything or do talk about activities cant really be passed through genes.
Its not clear since its not totally relevant nor connected at all and just like on what others been saying which is actually true and on point.

I agree.

With our best capability, we shouldn't let them go near gambling despite we're gamblers because we understand what will be the bad effects to them.

We're not restricting them to gamble but it should be done at the right age and when they can support themselves and not with our pockets.

I think, in general, it's harder for people to stop their addiction when it's genetic. Most of the time, they will always come back to what makes them happy or what makes them feel fulfilled or something. It will be hard to overcome that, but that's just how you will know how strong the person is with willpower.

Comparing them to someone who has just gotten into the habit it's doing it is challenging. I think there's no significant difference.

The same if we are genetically skinny or fat, no matter what exercise and changing our eating habits we do, our body will still remain skinny or fat. While there are some cases where they successfully change their body but the effort that they put is too much and if they will stop trying, they will quickly go back again on their original form.

The same thing can be experienced if we are genetically addicted to gambling. It sucks that we are built on that way without even trying to while to some people they became addicted because they keeps on gambling although it can be much easier for them to quit it since it was not genetically inherited to them.

Genetically or some words that do connects out with genetics is something really off or not really relevant if we do talk about passing something into your children which its obviously a behavior not really

a part of genes or something thats why i dont really see the connection in between.IF we do make out some comparison in between physical structure attainment and behavior its totally a different story.
I dont know on why people do really been talking about inheriting gambling behavior considering that this is something which cant really be obtained through genes.
So its totally non sense if you do ask me.

We cannot blame a person for having a genetic predisposition to gambling. However, if the addict is not trying to distance himself from gambling, we can blame him if he does not make an effort to get rid of the addiction. Our country, city, living conditions, climate can all be things that encourage us to gamble. We must not forget to strengthen our own will. Gambling should be viewed as a means of entertainment. We should stop gambling in every stressful moment. It is a pity to have a gambling addict in the family. Children imitate their parents. If we want to get rid of this situation and leave a clean future for our generations, we can try to taste different tastes of life.

If the parent are too exposed, there’s a tendency for their children to follow the foot steps of their parents and if they are a gambling addict, most probably their children can also be a gambler but that is not because of the genes being inherit, I guess its more of a choice. Gambler can control himself, I don’t think this is from a genes of your parents because my father is a gambler, but we are not. Let’s not think this way, and blame no one with regards to our gambling decision, again its always our choice.

It seems that it is in the DNA and that it can pass more easily to the children. It depends on how much the child is exposed to gambling. Men have a much higher chance of a gambling addiction than women, because of the different area of interest. That's not to say that women aren't prone to addiction, though. But it could also be that the father is heavily gambling and that the son is not gambling at all. That is again due to the DNA from both parents.

[GiftedMAN]

Gambling is a bad addiction. It never spreads through DNA. This is a social problem. It may be that someone in a family is addicted to gambling, and seeing him there, another member of the family may become involved in gambling. Someone can involve in gambling with his gambler friend. And if someone gambles for entertainment, gambling can become an additional addiction.

True, no matter how a gambler is addicted to gambling, gambling can never be found in their DNA. Gambling addiction is caused by continuous exposure to games and gaming activities and anyone interested in doubling their funds can easily become addicted to gambling. Being closer to an addicted gambler can automatically make some one who is not in to gambling to inherit the mindset of a gambler and when this is not controlled by the person, it will become another problem for both parties.

This is just another excuse for being a gambling addict, we cannot blame our parents for our own decision and that gambler might use this excuse so he can avoid being interrogated. I don’t think it can be passed to your DNA because gambling is just a game, and we can argue that those who are good in sports their children can’t be good as well, because its all about your trainings and sacrifices. There’s no Doctor that can say your DNA is too exposed in gambling, so for me it can be inherited.

And you are right, it can't be. If people's attractions and "quirks" were in the DNA, you'd have children craving the same foods as their parents. Have you ever seen that happen? I haven't. Children develop their own taste and there are things they don't like early on in their lives but can acquire a taste for later on.
You often see parents who are good at math have children who are good at languages and bad at math. You often see children of people who keep bees being allergic to bee stings. You don't inherit these things.

The only thing people seem to inherit are diseases, including mental.

This can be inform of trait that could make the person to have vast interest in gambling. There are some persons whose fathers are crazy gambling master and having child that have almost thesame love or interest in gambling activities is possible. Gambling addiction depend on how frequent we gambling and what makes us to keep gambling whether for the love we have for it or the little profits we do make from it. Gambling addiction is real and many victims have different reason why they became addicted to gambling.

Yes, gambling addiction is a real thing that can happen to anyone who plays gambling and we never know when we can become addicted.
Only being careful when playing gambling can make us always aware that gambling is an activity that can make us forget what we must do and that is independent of hereditary factors.
If a father is a gambler, it is not certain that his child will become a gambler, especially if, from a young age, his son has seen his father's bad habits so that he can say that he will never play gambling in his life.
Everything will depend on how a person can carry himself well and behave better than his father.

[noorman0]

There is no relationship at all with blood factors, DNA or other hereditary diseases. If parents let their children see the daily routine, it is an indirect form of education. Especially about gambling when you express your excitement while playing in front of the monitor screen, it has more of an effect on the child's psyche and will start to find out and learn without hesitation what you are doing.

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.).

I disagree - my father was a chain smoker and none of his kids liked it. We don't smoke because we have seen our father battling hard to quit smoking when he learnt that he is not going to survive. WE have smoking we really do. I wish no one ever smoke in their lives so that their kids do not suffer at all.

Its a personal choice but there are things which could really trigger out or would really be convincing you to do so just because your father or someone do permits you to do so thats why it does really
give out some impact even we do say that we dont like it but on the time you've been seeing it for how many times then most likely you would really be dealing or doing it on the future.
Behavior cant really be inherited but something that could rather influence you into your future actions but of course not all would really be that easily get influenced if you do have that fixed
mindset or beliefs in life that you do strictly follow or do depends on your preference.

Yes this is true, gambling addiction is not in the blood,  addiction comes from to much exposure of games . If you look at every gambler very well you would get to know that they have serious love for game. Saying gambling addiction can be inherited is like also saying hobbies can be inherited too.

Gambling is no exception but it is a behaviour it is not transferred  through DNA. However children can look up to parents and either they would choose to gamble or they would disapprove to gambling. That too is the personal choice. My friend said his father used to take drugs and they have seen so much trouble in their home.They don't like to smoke at all - because they hate smoking and drug.

It all depends on each person's choice, I have several friends whose fathers are addicted to gambling, but my friends are not interested in gambling
at all. Even my friend thinks negatively about gambling, therefore gambling can't necessarily be passed on to our descendants if we don't affect
our children. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much if we are addicted to gambling, not necessarily our children will be addicted to
gambling too. It all depends on how a person is affected by gambling itself, so if we don't want our children to be addicted to gambling,
we must provide education about gambling. In fact, I find many people addicted to gambling even though their parents are very religious,
in the end how to control ourselves to the environment around us is very important.

Gambling is an addition - it is not transferred through DNA - like smoking is an addiction and it is not transferred through DNA as well.
Many kids do not copy their parents bad habit. Some of them do. Like our parents use to smoke and we didn't like it all. That is a personal choice but nothing to do with the chromosomes.

But as a parent then you should really be mindful on your activities which you do know that it could give out negative effects or something that could be seen by your children and as a guardian then
we arent that dumb that gambling could give more negative effects rather than on positive ones because if we do really talk solely about entertainment then we know that gambling isnt
the only choice for that but there are things which you could eventually engage without needing on spending money or needs to deal with gambling.Its true and just like what most people been
saying that this isnt something that could be inherited but rather depends on the behavior and different taking of an individual.We might be close or identical on DNA but doesnt mean
that everything would really be passed on.

Sadly most parents and guardians even though know the fact that their public actions affect the kids, they are not keen on their responsibility but rather give priority to the type of activities that entertain them such as gambling.  Kids might see them doing these gambling activities thus inherit those traits when these kids grow up.  As for the DNA imprint, it is quite vague and debatable since most of us do not believe that but who are we to refute when we cannot also show that the parents' gambling traits aren't imprinted on the gene of their kids.  We cannot say that the statement is true if we cannot produce any proof that what we are telling is correct.

While it is true that your specific genetics can create in people certain tendencies, at the same time I think we give to them to much weight as people can overcome those tendencies and become whatever they want.

Some people may have tendencies which make them more likely to become addicted, but as long as they are disciplined they can live their lives without ever falling into addiction if they develop themselves in a way that makes them more resistant to those temptations.
