Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.

sin or not its depend on each people. some religion said it was sin, the other religion not said that. but for me, gambling is a sin, but life is gambling. its like a dice, sometime we are up, sometime we are down.

Yes it is a sin, i know it and already know it from long time ago
but i dont know why i still gamble, i feel this is addicting.

Right, because I see all religions forbid gambling and most patently prohibits gambling is islam. Because islam gives some reasons about gambling one of them because it is so detrimental to the players.

it is not a sin in my opinion and it is not even a sin in my religion although that doesn't stop it from being legal according to the law. the government and the law seems to think differently about gambling than regular people do.

Bible does not say or mention that it's a sin, but Bible mentioned something about love of money or greed. If it's for fun or entertainment I guess it's not considered as a sin.

But the bible does mention gluttony and greed. Often it speaks of it. It does speak of gambling as well. The one story (forgot the name) the man give his eldest son money and not the younger. The elder son gambles and buys gifts and has partied till he has none left.

To me gambling is a sin but on the other hand I'm still playing for my own reason, I don't know the reason why but it's feels like there's something that I can't explain. It's fun? addicting? entertaining? etc...

Are you religious?

Cause if you're not, nothing is a sin.

You don't have to be religious for something to be a sin dude.

Well, if you are religious, you will not gambling though, because there is a rule about to not gambling. On the other hand, for people who is not religius, will easily gambling without think about sin.

Not really. Gambling should be considered as any other marketplace activities. Whether you buy shares or invest in bitcoin, it is still technically a gamble. The house is simply offering you a fair opportunity to win & lose money.

Be rational when you gamble though.

Yes, gambling is a sin. But better don't think and talk about sin on gambling, gambling is for fun and no need care about the sin, but if you scare about sin and hell, better you not gambling.

Yes, it is a sin because it's a vice.  It involves greed because you want to take away others money as your winning.  It also depends on your religious upbringing.  Even a small bet can be called sin if your conscience dictates it.  It's up to you if you would continue.

Gambling is nothing but winning money from others. so what special is there and why people are involving religions in this gambling really i don't understand. gambling is a game, it made to entertain us so please don't take this very personally. No religious will tell to play gamble it is up to us. if you like you can play or else don't play that's it.

"Is it a sin to gamble?"

I guess that's dependent upon the creator....what does your book say the creator thinks about it?  We all have different belief systems but if we judged the tree by the fruits it produces, then maybe we could come upon a consensus as to the true benefits of the activity....Let's start by asking: Does gambling create wealth or destroy wealth?

Gambling is not a sin! Doesn't matter what any book says, only bad thing in gambling is when someone ignore family and other important things cause of gambling. Spending money that is needed for some important things. But its not just gambling, other things can also make people to forget and ingore important things in life. Basically sin clis not in things around, it can be in us. We make things look good or bad.
Simply follow words that are written in every casino, gamble with responsibility. Don't spend more then you can afford, don't ignore kids at home cause of gambling, and everything will be OK. Overdrive in anything is not good. Be moderate in everything and you will not have problems with gambling or any other addiction.

in some religions like Islam gambling is a sin but in other religions it may not be a sin. some government consider gambling illegal so if you are not obeying your state law it is also a sing.

That's right, in the religion of islam. Indeed barred from gambling because it risks and dangers in the gambling is extremely complex and can harm a gambler. We know if someone does gambling have certainly gambling as his heart and always use greed (not all players), not only that she also did gambling brutally and finally get the defeat. Gambling in the eyes of islam is prohibited and unlawful, because uncertainty contain elements of gambling.

of course gambling is a sin ,everybody know that ! but it's an easy way to earn money without any problem Cheesy
I agree if you say it's a sin, because it is the truth. but I do not agree when you say it's easy to make money from gambling, because most people who gamble, ended up with losing. it proves that it is very difficult to make money from gambling
Well to me it's not actually a sin on its own. But perhaps it is a very strong influence on doing bad things. Tempting you to do even more bad and inhibit that mindset.

yeah totally correct.

And addition to it, if gambling have a negative effects on your living, especially with your social responsibility, then treat it as a wrong doing and consider it as a sin.

but if it doesn't actually affects any one then I think it should be fine.

But always try to think if your religion consider gambling as a sin.


This Gambling is made for our entertainment, so I too agree it's a sin. In this gambling not only a few people all most 90 percent gamblers lost their money here the only number of individuals can make money in gambling. So let's treat this is a fun game, not a money making machine it's totally wrong.
Gambling is never a sin for sure. It neither harms the religion nor any culture. But personally i don't do a lot of gambling
because its just waste of money not sin though.
