Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
Gambling is certified as sin, because most people who get involved here is became greedy but not all of them.
Because there are some gamblers played for fun only.

Greediness is the one that leads us to sin but gambling itself is not a sin. It really depends on the output of the gambling activity. There are some that are becoming addicted and there are that are just normal gamblers.
I completely agree, you cannot be greedy in gambling because it will only lead to loses, just be always cautious of your decision because you do not have the advantage in this game. Those who are greedy may experience big loses because no matter how lucky they are and bag some good money but they will not be contented and just stop.

It's opposite gambling can make you greedy and it's up to you on how you are going to manage your emotion. If you will let your emotion go deeper then that's the one that will make you greedy and it will make you go sin, when you don't have money anymore but you still want to gamble it is the reason why you want to keep on gambling.

There are religious people that are going to point out that gambling is a sin but I had two points for it. That will become a sin if you are able to make yourself addicted with it because when you are already addicted on it, that's the start to become greedy. And when you are greedy, you will think about of money all the time and that's a sin.

Either you are religious or not, it is a sin to gamble and everyone know this thing and it does not require any rocket science knowledge to know this stuff. Either way we are going to repent for what we have done someday later so just be prepare for whatever it is. I dont really think of it as a sin or not however I do know that this is sin.

actually, I know all people know that gambling was not okay. But some are still doing gambling even it is not okay to anyone because
they gamblers are motivating themselves that in gambling they can become rich one day, even they've lose most of the time in the games, they're not loosing their hope, due to dependent on their luck.

Gambling is root of all devils.Last night i tripled my deposit and losted few hours later.That's how industry works.
As I already said somewhere in this topic gambling itself is not sin, but it can lead to sin, you are example of that. You won, become greedy and you lost all, now you are blaming gambling, only one you should blame for your losses is yourself  Wink
Actually, greediness isn't gambler's fault since it's part of their emotions since it trigger as opportunities are close enough. However, if a gambler don't control that emotion and he lose because of that, that should be consider as a sin as he don't discipline himself in gambling.
True, greed is in all of us but i didn't say it's his fault he is greedy i said it's his fault he lost money.

playing gambling with money you dont own is.
Why is that a sin? It's stupid, but it is not a sin.

In my opinion perhaps gambling is a sin if you are religious and a Republican.
And if you are not republican then it is not sin?   Cool

No, it is in yourself how you think about playing gambling.
For me its not the way it is not said that it is a sin to gamble .playing gambling with money you dont own is.

There are religious people that are going to point out that gambling is a sin but I had two points for it. That will become a sin if you are able to make yourself addicted with it because when you are already addicted on it, that's the start to become greedy.

In my opinion perhaps gambling is a sin if you are religious and a Republican. There are no really specific passages in the bible that is against gambling. But there are warnings and passages about wanting money, loving mammon, coveting thy neighbor’s goods, lying, cheating and stealing. If you are a desperate, greedy, or wants to have some fun.


When we are basing on biblical aspect then gambling isnt a sin but mostly people would really commit sin when they do gambling too much which would results into bad doing when comes to a time you already got addicted too much which would makes you greedy and doing already bad things just to gamble.If you treat gambling just for past time,i think it isnt a sin after all.

yeah in others only but in my religion its not a sin. Gambling would be a sin if the money that we gamble is get in bad or you scam someone just to play gambling IMO. Well anyways i don't see some if we gamble and its a sin only the bad people would get some sin if the money that they gamble get in bad

God nooo !!! why would it be a sin to gamble. some people gamble to try their luck and some people gamble for entertainment. Gambling is fun for most of the people. Just don't gamble too much and just do it for fun and everything is still good. Wink

I think we need to establish what is sin before we put this argument into the right perspective, what constitutes sin? I think a lot of people don't seem to have a clear understanding of what sin is and that's the reason for their comments.

You are saying, because you have lose your money in gambling. But if you win in it, than you will said that gambling is a best source of earn money. But i don't think that gambling is a root of bad ways, You should know that gambling is a field, where we play different types of games, and use our skills and luck than we get reward.

However the bible clearly condemns the love of money.
Religions were created just to ensure people are leading a happy life. Hence we need not look for exact definition of what religion is saying about gambling. If you are religious, it would be better stop gambling as for no reason gambling could be justified for a anyone's happy life.
[/quote]It is clear religion says that gambling is a sin, but I do not agree that religion is created to make our life happy because the happiness felt by each individual human being is different.
For example: many people feel very happy when they win money from gambling, it's different when they get a bonus from the company where they work.

It is sin for me, but not for you. According to everyone, the situation is different. For a person who is generally religious, gambling is a sin, for example I can say sin according to my desire.

For example, there are some religious days in our country and it is a great sin to play gambling these days. He also encourages a bigger sin if he plays in regular casinos.



Were in the same page mate, I also do believed that gambling is a sin too. it maybe true that the gambling is not in the Bible but there is also no gambling place in heaven only here on earth we had it. But I respect the opinion of others here if gambling for them was not a sin.

If you believe gambling is a sin, why are you promoting bitvest.io?    Just asking it seems like a conflict.    That is a good point though is it a sin to make money off of gambling?   (Investing in the house.)

The problem with all of these things is where do you draw the line. 

Well, not all people have the same religion as him, so to others it might not be a sin.
He only thinks his rules apply only to him Smiley
Well if we are rely on bible we will see that gambling is one of the hated of jesus. So for me its a sin. no matter what if its involve with money its gambling that we can say it is a sin..
We know we are promoting almost gambling casino but we are just a promoter or we are just renting our signature just to make few bucks but we are not gamble anything ..

I'm not sure where this is in the bible.   However the bible clearly condemns the love of money.   So maybe that is what you are referring too?
Nothing in the bible says gambling is a sin and i never read that word i the bible. The love of money is written in the bible so you are right they love money and they become greedy that is why gambling is a cause of sin. Because some are love money and they want to gamble to win big.

Gambling is certified as sin, because most people who get involved here is became greedy but not all of them.
Because there are some gamblers played for fun only.
Where did you read that it is a sin, when you say certified it is like there is an official statement saying in general that it is a sin. I doubt if it is applicable to all if there's any, in our country some illegal gambling are prohibited but I don't believe it is prohibited because it's a sin.

Moreover, please do consider that there are so called legal gambling which is supported by the government or operated by the government like a lottery in our country.

I bet that you don't know the book  that we called "Bible", it is where you could read that gambling is a SIN, that our lord God is prohibits us to do. But we are always violating most of his rules, and we are just obeying ourselves. If the Government said that it is illegal then most of us are not going to do gambling anymore, but when it is God who said that it is a Sin and shouldn't be done by anyone in the first place, we didn't listen.

So, in short, it looks like that we didn't fear God, instead we fear to the people who have position in the Government.

If you do not mind, can you give us the exact verse where gambling is written as a sin in a holy scripture we called "Bible"?  I am kinda curious about it too since most religious sector of Christianity stated that gambling is a sin and yet they do lottery whenever they are in need of budget and host a lottery for fund raising.
