then what do you mean? does opening company to get rich? if yes, I guess that too gambling. because opening the company was the same as gambling with the hope that the capital can be re-issued and can benefit. because if the business you open fails. it will make you lose. and in conclusion it is also a gambling

Oh please! Why do we even get to talk like this sometimes? These two should never be placed on the same level. When you are opening a company, you have one sole purpose, which is to use your idea and skills to make profit and even though things may not turn out as you want, it would be rare not to make it work if you have quality skills and an idea that can sell.

However, in gambling, this is a totally different case entirely, whereas you have no idea, clueless as f**k, no skills and all you have is luck, and in that case, you are really prone to losing everything unless you are just some very strange lucky man and even at that you have also been able to dish yourself some brains in the process.

Maybe he is a gambling addict, so he likes making a company (maybe he means to make a business because the company is too broad) like it's gambling. Logically gambling and making the company very much different, such as land and sky is too much to compare it.

Making a company needs special planning, while gambling just needs a capital to bet on. Making a company needs special skills while gambling just needs luck (I have not found a specific strategy to win any gambling) only. Making a company needs a lot of consideration while gambling just needs greed.

Gambling is part of life, but if you gamble Bitcoin means you want to take the risk it's because gambling can give you two option. Be poor or be rich. Waste your money in gambling without even thinking your needs then your done, but gambling with wise decision then your okay with it. We cannot just conclude what gamblers feel, it always depends to what we want to do. Don't gamble with shitcoins always gamble with pure one.

You can live a normal life and get rich without gambling. It can make you either poor or rich.

Well, there was one topic "is gambling a sin", so this is something similar. While gambling itself isn't sin it could lead to sins, gamblers need to be responsible, that's it.

Wow, can't believe you are triggered. Calm down, bro, a nerve might explode.

That is nothing. I opened topic some time ago and asked something like "why everyone is gambling for fun and no one to win money" and I have to tell you I've never seen anyone so pissed about it like this guy, he has responded the same way like he did it here.

People who are experiencing these things are only people who are going to the casinos for the purpose of earning money. If you are a gambler and you are gambling for entertainment, you don't expect to win or lose but you expect to have a good time. You do not expect to earn money from it as just spending your time in a casino is enough value for your money. We can view this in different ways but going to a casino is really not a sin even if you fall into your explanation as not all gamblers want to earn money, some even view it as a bonus of having a fun time in a casino.

Gambling is just a game. Just for fun and make their own selves a relaxation. But if you don't know what it means and how to manipulate it to your own, or how to handle your self from this addiction, it's not a good for a self relaxation.. It's called addiction and losing money for nothing. And it's called sins.

Yes, gambling itself is not a sin in fact its a source of entertainment and recreational activity but it is mainly one of the reason that makes people commit sin if gambling is out of control, gamblers tends to compromise things such as time for relationship, family and above all if he will bet the compromise money that suppose to be for family use.

I don't think it's sin to gamble and so I don't like to call it sin in any sense, again this is moral policing at it's best considering you're wearing a gambling site signature and calling it sin is weird. What are your credentials to even go into this and what knowledge do you posses to come to this conclusion, I don't understand this ideas of yours. Many of your points are not true at all, times have changed and you're yet sticking to old concepts.

Well anything wrong is always wrong whether someone consider it or not. Wearing a signature for gambling site doesn’t change the nature of gambling. In fact it is a bold step by anyone to tell the truth. Have you ever heard by any employee of the cigarette industry that smoking is not injurious to health? We can’t change nature of the things tobacco was injurious to health a century ago, it is now and it will be injurious to health even after passing centuries.
It really don’t makes any sense of sticking with old concepts but it is about sticking with the truth. You may not have courage to speak the truth but don’t criticize the truth.

Gambling has never been part of life. You can live a normal life and get rich without gambling. It can make you either poor or rich. But it is going to be your choice whether to be poor or rich because you can gamble and be aware of your limits. Gambling can teach you lots of things, but once you are addicted to it, it will turn you to the dark side, and it will be hard to get out of it. And by the way, what do you mean by shitcoin and pure one?

There is never a choice for the gambler. He can wish to win but he cannot choose to win. Gambling is a luck dependent game and most of the times, the house has edge over his players so it is almost impossible to defeat luck and house at the same time. This game has destroyed happy families. One must never try it at the first place because it is a way too addictive.

I think nothing is ever really a choice even if it's only a minut detail of yourself you can never really be sure of anything. Knowing that gambling is a luck dependent game like you said, it's just going to be a chance for you to really win and there's nothing you can do about the but prepare and limit yourself.

Gamblers will not recognize sins, even if they already know gambling is a sins, but they will still gamble because of the appetence that control the human psyche.

These are all interesting answers to a question that most gamblers do not want to face or admit too.
But we all know they are bad for you as sins are if you get down to the root of the problem if it is a problem for you that is

Gambling is against some religions as it leads to all of these things described in the opening post.
So the next question you would need to ask one's self (if you are engaged in a way it has become an overwhelming problem in you life) is if it has gone this far and if so then you should seek help to stop committing this sin in your life.

The seven deadly sins are based on: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth.

It has come to my intention that gambling is related to the SDS. Not all of them, but I believe Pride, Greed, Wrath, Sloth are what makes of a gambler.

Pride: The will of not losing. The gambler always strives not to lose as he always wants to win not matter the cost. He would throw his life, fortune, even his beloved ones for the sake of money. ( I am talking about a very addictive gambler.)

Greed: A gambler always wants to gain money even if he is already rich. Why buy two houses if you can buy one? Why do you need more much money when you already are living a good life?

Wrath: A gambler will not be able to control his emotions when he loses which will be the result of releasing his anger on people around him or even hurt himself.

Sloth: A gambler wants easy money, easy life, easy things. He does not make efforts to gain money. That is why he resorts to gambling because he can get two birds with one stone; money and fun.

The mentioned above are within the human nature. It is a challenge for yourself whether you are able to control them or let them take over yourself. It is up to you to decide.

I could not agree with you more mate. The number one negative factor that a gambler should eliminate in himself is greed. When a gambler wins in a betting, he should be have a goal of how much target he want to win for that occasion and then came back another day. I have experienced it myself where i already won and did not go home so at the end i lose all.

People become addict of this game. Plus the greediness for memory make them stay at casinos and lose everything they have. Actually this is all about the game of emotions, you don’t have to work hard and just play some stupid games and if up are lucky that day, you will win. Then emotions cover you up and compels you that this is such an amazing source of money, and people get convinced and lose next time.

I think Envy should also be included because it is essentially another factor for someone to start gambling. They are so frustrated with their lives and they see someone that they know that became very successful and they can't take that.

Nice article, I like the way you make the use of words and imagination to compare it into gambling to explain these. I just want to add that on the issue of 'pride', I think this should be referred to as 'urge'. This is because most people have a very serious and uncontrollable urge that keeps luring them to play even though their brains keeps telling them to stop because they might lose.

Human are greedy creature and it's always will be. All we can do is just how to control it before it's over-capacity or got addicted.
Family support and religion play the main role !

Once they win, they have a pride , it's also dangerous if they can't control it.
I'm ever win 0.09 but when I keep play it, I loss it all eventually !

Gambling isn't a sin at all it depends on the persons and the gambler now you seem like a person who doesn't like gambling so you consider it as a sin but for a gambler it is everything for him he tries to make a income for it or tries to fulfil his dreams so it isn't sin for him , i consider gamble perfectly fine as long as you are not addicted to it

I think that you explain it is not from the various sins in gambling, but more to the effect of playing gambling or it could be bad effects in gambling.

I bet that you got this idea on the Anime "The Seven Deadly Sins" which is really connected in gambling. What you have said was true, this seven behavior of all of us is so hard to manage whenever we trigger it. Mostly when we are playin gambling, all of this sins are provoking us to gamble even more, to believe that we could win in gambling if we are going to continue, thought the truth is not.

If talking about human greed, I think not only in gambling that greed will happen but in life or other prophecies will also cause greed that has been trained since childhood if want to have something that really wants to have more than one or two and a thousand, greed already exist in our own lives and it depends on how to respond and control every event with ourselves, so not all gamblers are greedy there may be some, if they get a victory yes it's luck he can not be called bad thing to the 7 points you mentioned , they are human characters that have existed from childhood in practice to adulthood how we control them. Too creepy for such a title placement.
