I boarded a bus going home from the bank yesterday, then I remembered some football match had few minutes to kick-off then I brought out my phone from my pocket to place some bet, immediately I opened the bet app a man sitting next to me, tapped me and said that gambling is Satanic and I should desist from it, at first it sounded so funny and made me laugh but with a serious face he further said that it's manipulated by demons and that's why the house would always have the higher edge. He said he used to be a gambler but stopped when he discovered that and that there are demons helping the casino and sport betting owners to manipulate people into becoming addicted and getting more money from them, they give to selective people knowing fully well more people would lose and they'll gain back what they lost when more bettors lose the old man made it sound real but I don't believe that, i think he's lost too much in gambling before he stopped and is looking for anyway no matter what to discourage people from being like him or he's just being too superstitious. What's your opinion about this please?

Everyone has their theoretical view and ideas about gambling , just like you said in your story a man told you gambling is satanic, well that's his idea but it common knowledge that gambling has a negative on people, it doesn't matter if you win or lose once you get addicted you are gone. Thinking about it logically he might be right about the spiritual side of gambling or maybe he has lost a money in the games. In whatever we do, know that excess of everything is bad, don't let gambling have a negative impact on you

As I understand it, this old man meant that these demons represent our vices - greed, anger, envy and pride. Not without reason in some religions these manifestations are considered mortal sins. It is in gambling these manifestations can meet in one gambling session and are in fact the very factor that allows casino owners to receive additional profits. In order not to succumb to these vices you need to learn to control yourself. The one who will not learn to control himself better to stay away from temptation, as in principle did this old man.

Agreed, when these vices affect a person's rules and principles and release emotions that should not be present in a person, can be called the apostles of the devil, clearly those actions do not belong to the morality of a human being, vice refers to actions that go beyond the rules of law and human morality. From a scientific perspective, it is a disease related to psychological pressure that causes damage and crazy thoughts to the brain, but no matter how it is explained, gambling is still a pleasure that should not be involved in if one wants to maintain morality.

Even eating the food we need to live can be turned into a vice. This is what happens when a person does not set limits for himself and this leads to sad consequences, including those related to health. The first thing a person should realize is that any entertainment should know the measure and learn to control their desires. Since gambling is very closely related to greed, anger, envy and pride must be extremely careful not to create problems.

Gambling should really be treated up that way on which on the moment or time that you wouldnt really be having those kind of intents or typical or a must thing to deal up with gambling
then you are really that derailing yourself in overall essence on how gambling should really be dealing up with. One of the most common issue of most gamblers is that they do become
that too greedy and being that too hopeful that they would be able to make up some big money. This is why it would really be that important that you should be realistic
on to deal with gambling and dont make yourself that too desperate.

This is a case of superstition and being religious he feels playing of gamble is the handwork of demons but is far from the truth, the best he would have done is to tell you the disadvantage of betting rather than bringing religion into it. There's no connection between gambling and demons, you gamble without compulsion from anyone so one should draw a line when betting when to stop and quite

When it comes to religion, people don't see gambling as a good activity for humanity to involve themselves.
Since people have their own believes then we are not in position to argue with them. You might believe that gambling is fun and is another way to make money apart from your current job, but some people will argue with you that you are talking rubbish giving you different instances where it was started in their religious book that gambling is bad and one is not expected to gamble. It could be true or wrong but we need to respect everyone opinion about gambling and go for what works for us without much arguments.

You right and the best is to put away religious and belief away but if one must follow religion then he or they must be ready to abide by their book of low.
If you watch clearly none of these books actually gives good preference to gambling and they speaks against it entirely, but as a gambler who knows what he doing he can go for the fun and gambling responsibly because I believe the reason why people says gambling is demonic is because they are gradually or entirely falling into addiction and would be very hard for them to have control over gambling.

I always say that anyone can believe what they want to believe but they should stop manipulating people into believing they are doing wrong, thereby making them think their own way of belief/lifestyle is the right one. This is what religions are built on, an ideology. You would see some religions brainwashing people to do unspeakable things in the name of pleasing their gods and they will mind-control them to the point that they would think what they are doing is right. This is not different from this context, but that is if you let them.

If gambling is what you want and you can adhere to responsible gambling, why not? Many do it for fun, some manage their portfolio well and some even make money from it. Just don't let it control you and you will be fine, rather than letting anyone's ideology infest what you want for yourself.

You are right religious beliefs has made people to reason clockwise though it's painted to be true only if they believe it, I am not saying that I am don't have what I believe on but even as that I know how to handle things the right ways and I also applied responsible gambling. I think they whole of this talks is about people who put their religious first and not minding that gambling has been in existence since the origin of man and I can never spit away by the religious people therefore, I give ways to those who are too religious and I don't want my gambling practice to be affected neither do I gambling irresponsibly.

In order to describe complex processes, unusual causes and effects, vivid emotions, a certain linguistic apparatus is needed.

That is, a large number of new terms and definitions are needed that carry new meanings. This person talked about demons that take part in gambling on the side of online casinos. Of course, no demons exist in nature.

However, to describe various events and phenomena, some people may need such a concept as a demon. This is especially important for people with a magical mindset.

For people with a scientific mindset, there is no need to talk about the intervention of demons when it comes to serious gambling addiction. Serious gambling addiction is really very similar to demonic possession.

All people tend to not accept responsibility for their actions and shift it to someone else. Even if these are mythical or religious characters. But in reality, only we ourselves live with the consequences of our actions, and therefore we need to understand that it is better to calculate your chances of winning than to hope that some god is benevolent. Or Fortune, it does not matter, in any case, mathematics makes the view of phenomena pure, and this applies doubly to gambling.

We don't believe in that kind of assumption because we know that gambling is not something that can be controlled by such beliefs. People who believe in such rumors are clearly just fooling themselves because it's not true. If we win, it will not be because we are guided by various spirits and beliefs, but rather because it is just one opportunity and may not come again.

So, my call to gamblers is to keep in mind our true situation as gamblers. We should always remember that the only things that make us win are luck and a little knowledge.

... I won't be shocked to hear some people come up with the idea that crypto and forex trading are all demonically controlled that's why we see a lot of people making losses compared to those making profits. God nor Satan don't concern themselves with gambling. Those supernatural beings has more important things to concentrate on.

Gambling is just like every other leisuring activities that an individual could use to catch fun and fill entertained doing it the right way with some responsible conduct. And just like the man in the Op, many people have developed the attitude of looking for where and what to direct a cause on for their own doing. knowing fully that there's an house edge existence in gambling it's more sacrosanct reason why the gambler should hedge on responsible gambling to avoid losing so much to the house and not in a case where the gambler may have developed a compulsive gambling attitude only to turn around scrambling on where to put a blame on as the reason for his gambling misfortunes/losses.

You made a valid point by saying that the man should've cautioned the OP about the disadvantages of gambling that can lead to addiction, instead of bringing superstition into it. There's no proof that that demons or spirits controls gambling businesses, people take risks everyday by making choices that they don't know whether it'll be profitable or not. The old man was probably a former gambling addict and doesn't want people to go through his experiences. If he had been a responsible gambler that perhaps hit the jackpot and managed his resources well, he probably won't be telling someone that gambling is evil.

I knew I would met here on forum the question like this. Most gamblers are superstitious people who believe in various stuff like knocking the wood, crossing fingers, winning color for their wearing and other nonsense. Thus, it is no wonder that former gambler ^{(finding himself at yours side in the bus)} believes into supernatural creature which controls the gambling. Get over it.

The mentality and beliefs that some people possess can be literally unexplained and terrible to regulate.Some people have their own beliefs religiously and this intensely regulated and affects how they respond,interact and relate to.Been religious definitely doesn't have or lay an outcome to gambling.
However, religions practically opposes gambling and it never operates hand in hand with a lots of religious teachings, beliefs and references from the bible.It will be clearly seen that gambling has no place in the religions and spiritual approaches to pertaining to gambling.

Maybe some people believe that is superstitious so people must avoid before something bad happen to them. But they can not force people to follow their suggestion because people are free to choose what they want to do. If they want to still playing gambling, nothing can stop them except themselves so when you meet that people again, you can say that you will stop your gambling activity and thanks for the suggestion. But you can still playing gambling when you don't meet him because you like to playing gambling because you have a good control so you can prevent the big lose. People know that religions prohibit gambling so that will depends on each people. If they still playing gambling even if they know that is prohibit in their religions, they will return to casino and playing gambling. We can only suggest but the decision will be up to them.

It is common in my country for people to blame demons for their mistakes, carelessness, foolishness, and mediocrity. When criminals are caught they always blame Satan for pushing them to engage in the crime. If you were oppurtuned to know this man's gambling history you will be surprised that he was a careless gambler who never took any precautions during his gambling days. After he had lost so much, he would generally blame demons.

His claims are false because it has no scientific or even religious backing. This mindset is one of the superstitious beliefs that people blame after they have failed to do their homework. Anybody familiar with gambling will know that the house has more advantages and if you are not comfortable with the area arrangement it will be better to stop gambling than to blame demons.

But if it is related to context like this, it is actually an excessive and unreasonable belief because the dealer has system in each game so they can set it and so is the same with the provider who has way of playing the game with random algorithm, so this is not about manipulation done by the devil.
Indeed, there are some people who believe and have the belief that all mystical things can help to provide luck like someone who asks for lottery numbers in special place and prays to be given numbers so they can win the jackpot, but that is the belief of the gamblers themselves and not about what the dealer does who uses the devil to manipulate the game.
But I sure that over time and the development of the era with various increasingly sophisticated technologies, it can slowly make people more able to understand how gambling works with all the games and bets in it so that beliefs about mystical things superstitiously will disappear and be forgotten by everyone.

In fact, you will be discouraged from gambling only when you repeatedly lose gambling bets. When you have lost a lot of money gambling and because of that you have lost a lot of wealth. A younger brother close to me gambles a lot and he does so every day. He gambles with the money he gets from his daily wages. He will win thrice in a week and lose the rest of the sides yet he does not stop gambling. It is a big addiction and he also gambles by partnering with new gamblers.

Even though your younger brother has lost a lot of money by gambling, he still cannot get away from gambling because he is addicted to gambling. The worst addiction is gambling. Those who gamble once every week lose all their wealth and become destitute. But those who are intelligent will never spend extra money on gambling. Whenever a person starts spending extra money on gambling then he will become addicted to gambling so we have to keep these aspects in mind while gambling.

I always like to gamble by measuring certain time and money and then betting on gambling. As if you choose the time then gambling one day per week will be best for you. On the other hand if you gamble considering the pocket capital then it can be limited. According to me everything should be done according to rules and by proper planning. A lot of money is needed whenever you want to play independent gambling. If you get addicted to bringing back your lost money, you will lose more money.

Chasing up profits is never been that recommended on the time or moment that you do play gambling on which we know that this is something that a very common human being behavior.
Speaking about superstitious beliefs then this is where other people do really rely on their bets or gambling choices on which they've been believing that this is something that will give out some sure win
or positive outcome into their gambling activity. We do know that when it comes into this aspect on which luck will really be always the main determining factor for a certain individual for them to be able to win up on their gambling session. Somehow its not bad to follow up something into your gambling dealing but make it sure that you wont be finding yourself desperate or trying out to chase loses on the time that you are on the losing situation.
