Myself, I used the stock market. I explained that the stock market is a form of gambling. Like poker, the stock market relies on making mathematical predictions. Stock market is also swingy and there are not any guarantees. Once I used the stock market example my family started looking at poker differently and are very supportive.
Maybe some other CardsChat members can respond with their approaches to give you more ideas to ease this pain.
