Let's say I lost $100 in gambling and I have not won any single round. I might say as a Catholic that it's because the devil is within the casino helping them out to make me lose when the reality is the house edge is what makes it all happen. It's just like what the man said on the OP. There might be a time he was a gambler too because I doubt he will go to that conclusion without even experiencing some losses in his past.
Well said. I personally do not believe in superstitious stories, I believe in the principle that everyone has a free choice, Fate, decision to decide and not necessarily influenced by any demonic or satanic stuffs, this is ridiculous how Satan will control someone to gamble and cause the loss of that person, so others who won weren't manipulated or we only loss when satan is involved, we need wash our brains and understand what gambling really is before we involve satan.
