Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
I think that it is ok to gamble because most if these people have worked hard for there money and if they want to spend it that way i think that we got nothing to say about that.
I do not like to judge people in that sort of way.

There is no sin to gamble when it's just enjoying your money the way that you want to enjoy it, i really dont see the issue with that mainly because it isnt one. The easiest way to be saying it's a sin is if you lose and you get too upset and do irrational things.

Well how would it be a sin to gamble?HuhHuh There is no way that you can tell us how to spend our money other than 10% tithe and 80% to family
the other 10% is our choice right??? well that's how i see it.

No it's not. People who think so , think that because of religious beliefs that doesn't make it fact but to them it is a fact. But we are not discussing if religion is right or wrong or true or false we are discussing if gambling is a sin. So to some it is. It is dangerous to gamble i'm sure everyone can agree on that. I'm sure we all know the wins you can get and also the losses.
Yes, this thread is going something wrong people are discussing not related topic here. The main question is it a sin to gamble or not but here some religion matters are discussing. Yes, some religion also not accept this game but discuss an exact topic. Gambling is the risky play here win, and loss is not equal many times we see the loss so it is a sin.

when talking about gambling is a sin, this obviously depends on the religion you profess. if according to my religion, obviously gambling is a sin, because it haram.

True, every religion which we own cherished beliefs have several procedures to respond to some of the activities there are in the world. So it depends on your religious beliefs and cuddle, as each command and prohibition in some religions are different and have their own reasons. so you don't have to give up this rebuttal

Why would it be a sin, I consider gambling as fun and enjoying and its not a sin at all, maybe if its forbidden by your religion its a sin but other than that its not.

Gambling is consider as Sin in few religions and few of them allow it. So it depends which religion you follow. If you see it above the religion, it can be fun and enjoyable for those who has a lot of money and afford to lose. On the other hand, a person with less amount of money and if he intends to gamble and if he loses then gambling is miserable for him.

Gambling is a sin. Or maybe not. Never heard something exactly. But I think in the way of addiction it may be a sin. You know all this people who bet their cars and houses and stay their families without a roof. But if you play just for fun and you are sure it's not an addiction I think it's ok.

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.
So why is it a sin if you don't mind me asking? To me it seems like playing a game and then automatically being marked to be sent to hell is a little extreme, don't you think?

Yes its up to us as individuals to make up out minds by ourselves. There many things that can be dangerous but we choose to let that happen to us.

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

Yes it is 100%, and it is a very bad sin, and if you are into it you should stop and get out of this game, below are some Noble Verses from the Noble Quran:

Quote
"They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth God Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider-  (The Noble Quran, 2:219)"

"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.  Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?   (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91)"

I don't consider it a sin. This is the free world. Let people do what they want with their money and time. If you kill people it is a sin, but gambling? Greed is just a human emotion, it's can be bad, but a sin? Nope.

why would it be a sin lol.you dont cause any harm to anyone, and its like spending money for happiness. sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. but i believe if you start spending your entire income on gambling you are hurting your family so thats heading towards sinning?

I think in some cultures it may be viewed as a sin. I know all most every culture and religion teaches the dangers of greed and gluttony.
That is why there so many different laws about gambling in different parts of the world.

Gambling is not a sin. Life is already a gamble itself. We always choose between two or more different things which we don't know the result and that is already a gamble. The word "gambling" is characterize by many people as a bad manner or habit but gambling is a way to entertain yourself. Gambling becomes a sin if it becomes a way to hurt someone.
