The need or desire to bond with a child is a poor excuse to introduce them to or encourage them to gamble. Do kids really have spare money sitting around that they can afford to spend playing the horses? I have seen way too many people get caught up in the high of gambling and essentially ruin themselves and their families financially.
Racing today is nothing like racing was when most of us started. Racing was a social outing. Almost all betting occurred at the track. Today most betting occurs behind a computer in a mostly unsocial setting. Do I want my child sitting behind a computer for hours betting on races. Hell no!
