Never
If you mean a gambling problem, Not really. Problems and habits are things you acquire over time. it isn't in your DNA nor will it be passed down to future generations. That's like me having a habit of popping my knuckles. My children won't be born with the problem but the might develop it over time.
In the world of financial management, a common principle is that great reward cannot be achieved without great risk. The balance between these two extremes governs the behavior of financial managers. Their job is to reap the highest returns on investments while limiting the amount of risk placed in each investment.
Gambling : Putting something at risk on an uncertain outcome
Gambling itself is not inherently considered an act of dishonesty; it is a legal activity in many jurisdictions and is based on chance and risk. However, dishonesty can arise in gambling contexts through cheating, fraud, or deceptive practices. Whether gambling is viewed as honest or dishonest can also depend on individual beliefs and the specific circumstances surrounding the activity. Overall, it is the behavior surrounding gambling rather than gambling itself that may be deemed dishonest.
The risk-to-reward ratio is a measure used in investing and trading to assess the potential reward relative to the amount of risk taken on an investment. It compares the amount a trader or investor stands to lose (the risk) to the amount they stand to gain (the reward). For example, if the risk is $100 and the potential reward is $300, the risk-to-reward ratio is 1:3. This ratio helps traders make decisions by balancing risk and reward to ensure that potential gains justify the risks involved. A higher ratio, like 1:3, suggests that the potential reward outweighs the risk, which is typically preferred by investors looking for more favorable outcomes. The ratio serves as a guide for setting stop-loss and take-profit levels, helping to manage risk while aiming for profitable returns.
My personal opinion is that profit is the reward of risk avoidance rather than risk taking.
reducing risk... gambling...

A risk that equals or is less than the reward.
Unhealthy risk-taking behavior is a behavior that puts you at risk for a bad consequence. Healthy risk-taking behavior is a positive tool in an adolescent's life for discovering, developing, and consolidating his or her identity. :)

The four types of behavior are: pro-social behavior, anti-social behavior, risk behavior, and health behavior. Risk behavior involves engaging in activities that have the potential to harm oneself or others, such as substance abuse, reckless driving, or unsafe sex.
