I saw these scenes in hollywood movies but never thought that these are practice in reality in the prisons. The purpose of moving criminal to prison is not only that he do not commit crimes but also his character is build up and he come out as a better person. If criminals keep play gambling, do fighting and take drugs in jail, then the purpose is not fulfilled.
In some country it's typical that when a drug Lord or rich people arrested and in behind bars some are still treated as if they didn't commit crimes and do glings and make the people their slaves. Some officials were allowing it since maybe they get also something from them. If only their will be a stricted rules and officials will be too faithful in their obligations these things will not happen. It's mind blowing that there are government officials that are still doing it.

Oh man, despite that gambling is forbidden is post USSR prisons, everyone in jail playing cards and dice. But compared to this peaceful casino in Nevada, in our prisons everything can happen much worse. For example, it's easy to lose your life during the game, meaning from that time he owe his life to a winner, so winner can ask anything from loser, even to kill someone. Not a fun fact, but enough mind blowing i thought.
Fantasy, this is not happening in this days for we have the international law for human rights. If this really happening in your place then report it immediately. Let us help preserve humanity and resolve issues regarding on human abuses. I can't bear to see these people have this kind of attitude, an animalistic kind of behaviour. Well, we are animals but we are rational and able to think than the rest of the animals.

I guess somehow people are rude but they are also people that has born innate kindness. It is just they are also victims of abuses to which it affects their attitude.

I think this is really happening in the real world that they owe their lives to the winners in gambling that even you report or accuse them from their crimes, it will be useless because they are already in prison that they are no longer afraid to commit crimes. I know it is an act of insanity and animal behavior that the winner can freely ask anything to the loser, even they kill someone or themselves. Still, we can't do anything about it if the prison officers are not strict and not responsible enough for controlling prisoners.

Agree, prisoners, don't have much to do in the cell so gambling is one of their main games. To make the activity more thrilling, they are executing this kind of consequences since they don't have nothing to do especially those prisoners that has a life sentence.

According to the study, they find out that inmate gambling is very common in prisoners.

~snip~
well that's the risk when playing at a gambling place because it can give you instantaneous losses but when you get a profit you can become rich instantly but the benefit ratio is very small than the disadvantages, so whoever the person when he wants to gamble should at least have realized that the money can be. just disappear instantly when taking a wrong position.

The ratio of getting losses will be bigger than the winning ratio because the house doesn't let the gamblers get the winning most of the time. We have the risk of losing the money, whether we realize or not, so before we lose all of the money, we can stop gambling because that can prevent the worst situations.

~snip~
but he already ruined his life by doing that kind of act which was robbery . robbing is worster than gambling , all robbers are infact more involved on gambling because they arent afraid of loosing anyway  .

 if they lost they can just rob again , ez pz for them . what we are talking on here  is only an example  , all kinds of people can be involved on anything but its how they control them selves

Yes, he already ruined his life by robbing, but he prevents other things that can make him get double bad things by losing the money in the gambling games. That is an example, but if that person knows about the bad thing in gambling, he will not playing gambling, and he will use that money for other things. And if he doesn't have the money, perhaps, he will steal the money again, but not for playing gambling. Yes, in this thing, controlling ourselves will be necessary to prevent the worst thing that might come to us.

Gambling is such a huge industry in Nevada that even the state prison had a casino inside it for 35 years. That's right: inmates could play blackjack, craps, poker, and even bet on sports inside the "Bullpen," a stone building on the prison's grounds in Carson City from 1932 to 1967. A new warden from California shut it down that year, saying gambling was a "degradation" to the inmates. - Source

"LOL" eternal debate..

  • In the early days of FedEx, CEO Fred Smith took the company’s last $5,000 to Las Vegas and won $27,000 gambling on blackjack to cover the company’s $24,000 fuel bill. Source
luck in the middle of trouble "LOL"...

  • A male gambler called Brian Zembic is known for doing anything to win a bet and agreed to have breast implants and keep them for one year in return for $100,000. He won the bet and 20 years later still has 38C breasts.Source

After reading the 51 mind blown facts about gambling in the opening post, it turns out that the world of gambling is full of
surprises and miracles. Maybe my way of thinking about gambling has changed a little after reading the mind blown gambling
facts in the opening post. But I thank you for this topic, a lot of important information that is interesting I can get.

The list can be be longer because there are unreported cases too, if you are a celebrity or a big businessman with reputation people inside the casino will make a buzz on you outside of the gambling hall because you are a news maker, if you are not but losing a lot they can or they cannot record you, it depends if you are newsworthy or buzz worthy.

The Nevada State Prison Used to Have a Casino for Inmates.

This is a very interesting fact, I would have never imagine that a prison will have a casino inside it and that somewhat this will be approved by the warden, but this just goes to show us how popular gambling is around the world, wherever there is a gathering of people that is big enough people are going to gamble, I suppose this is because people love to take risks and the promise of gambling of bringing a lot of money in a short amount of time is simply too alluring to pass.

lot of things are prohibited by the catholic church but they are doing it. priest even violating laws like raping the nuns, some gotten pregnant but it seems fine to their archdiocese.

if members are not allowed to gamble, they'd find out the whole city wouldn't go in the church anymore and they will not collect fundings from its members. catholic church is the most hypocrite church in the world.

If this thread is going to devolve into what the church can and can't or shouldn't do, then let me chip in by telling you what they should do. They should pay taxes! Do you know that churches in US could reduce the average american taxpayer's burden by nearly $90 billion us dollars?

At the beginning of the pandemic they tried to claim they should be allowed to stay open because they are an 'essential business.' But they don't want to pay taxes like an essential business. Doesn't seem right to me.

The fact is, most religions frown upon gambling, and yet nearly everybody has gambled at some point. There's almost no point even mentioning it to followers anymore.
Didnt expect for them to claim about being an essential business which it isnt supposed to be that way but we cant really escape into that reality and if they do accumulate that much then it is really worth for them to get taxed.About on most religions frown about gambling then its just already  a common word that came from them.People do get used to it already and you do say that majority might
already had the experience on playing gambling.This might be  little off topic but really worth to be discussed.

the church itself in my country gamble on politics. they support opposition today which they even promote these politicians on sunday masses before the election. they lose and still their arrogance call for people power like the separation of church and state is ignored. this is how churches gamble their way to let their politicians stay on power to get favors. 

without these favors, these priests would have been sentenced to death. i'm glad one of the recently died and this is the one who supports insurgents.


Im a catholic but im pretty much aware on how these priest do get involved into these immoral things which im a bit shamed of and i cant really blame someone to criticize the religion as a whole
due it had been tarnished out by the church organization itself and thats the sad fact that do happens upto present.


That is actually a fact and most catholic followers are blinded by saying that the decisions of the priest does not reflect on what they really believe. It would actually set a bad example since they are the ones that preaches on what was said to be followed. Lets just hope that some of them really adheres to what they are preaching for since hating on them won't really stop them from doing what they want. Gambling can be addictive and I guess they can still get bad habits.

Religion is not related to gambling for it is not being taught in Roman Catholics. The priest are also human being wanted to get fun and that they discretely done gambling of course not wearing their uniform. Just like some police officer I know doing stuff when not in duty. Gambling is not bad but it is the effect to which gambling could influence.

You are right. It is not because of who he is, but it will depend on how he wants to avoid gambling. Even if he is a robber, but he knows that gambling can ruin his lives, he will not play gambling because once he plays gambling and loses control, he will lose all of the money. As long as you can have control in gambling, you know when to stop gambling, it will not be a problem for you to play gambling. But we already know that many people will lose their control in the end because they forget about what they need to do.
