A lot of great posts, leaning towards the father-son thing rather than the mentor-student-gambling thing, and I agree with a lot of the posters here that it's a great way to share some time with your son, and have something to discuss nearly all the time. Also will give you a great insight into who he is, and what inclinations he might have. I have two grown sons that have always known my interest in this game, and both learned just as much as they wanted to. They can both discuss handicapping with me, but all their bets combined in a year doesn't equal one slow week for me.
But, it will always be a subject of mutual understanding that I have with both of them.
