Let's say your daughter was 19, recently out of high school, still living at home and she is dating a guy and it turns out he is a professional gambler....would you approve of her dating him? Why or why not?

no....period. You have to have something to fall back on. If the dude was attending college or had a college degree I may reconsider.

No Pinnacle doesn't offer a 401k or a pension plan. I may however still say he is welcome to watch football on sunday at our place.

SURE

Because let's face facts here. at 19 there is NO WAY she would EVER marry him. like most 19 year-olds the relationship lasts AT MOST one year and then they break up especially if she is going to college - she will get involved in college life and join "I Felta Thigh" Sorority and soon dump him

If the pro gambler was a chick, sure. My daughter would have to be a lesbian... no dating any guys whatsoever until she was 40 or so. Then maybe.

Depends on his pedigree, is his last name Walters, Baxter, Brunson, Reese, Mindlin, Negreanu,etc..?

Just kidding, are you f*@king nuts, I'd cut her off, and ground her until 45.

In all honesty, it would come down to a case-by-case basis(IE..he better be the real deal..full of promise)

Regardless of earning potential, would you wish your grandchildren have the demands of professional gambling for a parent?..the legalities?..the booms and busts?..the penthouse..the outhouse..and back again.

Be it casino exec, shift mgr, floor mgr, pit boss, dealer, SB Mgr, wiseguy, runner, BM of any shape or form,etc..

The risks and questions, the ups and downs, make for an easy lean against.

Lest I forget the concept of time, as like w/restraunteurs, gamblers lives leave lil' or no free time..be it by demand or choice.
