Do you come from a gambling family?

[Vegas77]

My father's side of the family loved playing poker, every Friday night was poker night at the house. If for on my dad's lap and watch. He taught me to play when I was ten. We went to the horse races a lot and eventually my entire family moved to Vegas. Playing poker and loving the game is in my genes. I'm not a champion, but I've won tournaments and I play every day. Poker is in my genes. What about you?

 

[dreamer13]

No, I'm the only one who plays poker, all my relatives don't believe that you can win something without investing anything, for many poker and casinos are scammers who deceive players.

 

[Joselmb31]

No, I'm the first in my family to play and they see me as a weirdo, but over time they accepted it.

 

[CaptainMooti]

My father was big into gambling, not so much anymore because he did not have the tools that I have these days to become a great and profitable player.
Not sure about my grandfathers but everyone else in my famuly has been looking at gambling as throwing away money..

 

[mina271]

no i'm the only one who plays poker and they don't really understand what poker is either, they think if you sit at the computer for more than 8 hours every day and play then you're addicted. I tried to explain that sometimes you have tournaments that even last longer than 10 hours, but they have little understanding for something like that. but since I haven't stopped playing, they leave me alone now. I know my family loves me and they want to protect me in some way and they really hope that one day I might stop playing.

 

[sincos]

Of my relatives, only my nephew plays)

 

[redmast]

I'm not from a gaming family. On the contrary, I was discouraged early in my poker career from gambling.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

my father used to play, but he didn't allow me to participate, he said it was addictive, today I play about 8 hours a day (sometimes even more hours) I consider it relaxing and relieves a lot of stress, today I have a son who plays and two granddaughters, I'm teaching another one grandson

 

[Whaevoz]

No gambling in my family.

My parents would occasionally host a high stakes home game.

I'm the first poker player in my family, it's hard to convince that poker can be a profession, of course without fixed profits. I haven't had a big win in poker yet to show the gains, but I'm looking for that win to take away this distrust of my family

 

[Cooking]

That's definitely not my case. My mom don't like poker and my dad doesn't even know how to play. I learned to play by myself when I was 18 and when I was in college I met a couple of friends that liked poker too.

 

[Sschafell]

yes my father was a player and i grew up at the gaming table, i always liked it and i was always competitive!

 

[efranto2286]

Hi, I'm the only one in the family who plays... although my grandfather, may he rest in peace, played cards... he liked it

 

[odonob]

Good question. Yes, my father ran a card table in his spare dining room. I can remember the craic that was had. Wads of notes on show which did impress a young mind. I think that may have given me inspiration. It looked exciting!

 

[Narcys]

No, I'm the only one who plays poker

 

[Forkliftgu22]

Yes on my father’s side 3 generation of bookmakers. My uncle also owned a bingo hall for while I have seen both the good and the bad of gambling. I’m personally not a big gambler stick low stake for fun and the odd sports bet.

 

[emirlidan]

pretty far from it.

Went to vegas once with my parents as a they heard about the place and it was on their bucket list. Mom put in $20 into a slot machine she won 7 dollars on the first spin and cashed out to never bet again that weekend.

 

[Newmy12345]

Heavens no. Not only do I come from a family, but a country with a very very negative opinion about gambling poker included. Unless Im a famous pro on tv, Im a paria

 

[navicula]

I am not from a gambling family. Maybe I'm the only one gambling...

 

[blata8ruga]

My father loved to play poker and he taught my brother and I when I was about 12 years old. He would stay out all night playing sometimes. One time on a family trip to Mexico the 3 of us went out and found a local game and played all night. Great memories to have now that he is gone due to cancer.

 

[GNuTTz]

is it in the blood?

No, I don't believe so. I've been very competitive every since I was a young child playing various sports and games. My family haven't ever been big gamblers. I must have evolved into a bit of a gambler

 

[afecho]

As far as I know I'm the only poker player but my Grandmother did play a lot of Bingo.

 

[moularaki]

No one in my family plays and don't gamble

 

[EmptyHouse]

I don't come from a family that plays poker. My dad plays the lotto sometimes. I only play poker and only my mother knows it.
