Topic: What do you call Betting in your culture? (Read 154 times)
Betting is just a way to lose your money over time. You need to understand that it could be quite dangerous in long run. Instead, invest your money and time in Forex Trading.
Ofcourse, I'm aware that gambling is prohibited by certain society or religion(like Christianity)
What source are you using for that information? It is inaccurate. Christianity is concerned about gambling due to the dangers it poses to individuals, families and society, but gambling and games of chance are not prohibited by Christianity.
I did not mention gambling in my post. Gambling to me not equal to Betting. Gambling is taking big risk.
But if by gambling you mean taking big risk or being financially reckless in Betting or other things, I can guarantee you that GOD's Words does not encourage that. It's immoral hence a sin.
Bet but don't gamble.
Once again, we are discussing Betting, not gambling, so beware of blasphemy.
Gambling is frowned upon in my culture and even so there are still many casinos in my region but mostly they cater to wealthy tourists visiting.
In my country's culture also gambling is not allowed, even my country also prohibits gambling activities. But still, illegal gambling keeps
popping up, because some of the people in my country like to gamble. Because it was prohibited by the state, I was forced to play online
gambling. It must also access the gambling site via a VPN.

In my country, some forms of games are prohibited but in general, gambling is allowed which includes physical casinos as well but while playing on online gambling sites I don't find any restrictions as far as I know unless the gambling site itself prohibits the people due to their license norms and conditions.
Maybe you haven't seen some conditions and prohibitions for online gambling. There are countries that allow physical gambling. But they're banning online casinos because of the competition.That's why it is important to know that and maybe you'll gamble online and it won't excuse you.
That makes sense.
As long as you're not doing anything wrong against to the law and you're uncertain with that then it's better to do nothing.

my country's social culture teaches that gambling is a bad thing...Gambling can lead to addiction and gambling addiction can cause a family breakdown. I personally think that thought is acceptable but if gambling can still be controlled then it will definitely have no effect on the family. I still play betting but only bet with my favorite football team, I'm not an addict.
In my culture, I believe casual betting between friends or on major sporting events is fully acceptable. Nothing more than a few dollars though. When you starting getting into hundreds or thousands of dollars (Canada), it starts to become unacceptable among most people. If you do it most days, people will believe you have a serious problem.

Depend on what kind of betting we are talking here , But if this is about Living then i am betting also for my life .
and also betting is far different from gambling , so i think there is nothing to argue here even if there is bible mentioned or none.

In Philippines there are so many names for it or terms it would depend on how and what game would it be.
For betting I think it would Pusta when you are betting on something,
And now the famous term when it comes to cockfight is Talpak.
And also gambling or betting could also be called Sugal and the heavy or addicted to it are called Sugarol.
And it isn't considered as a bad thing at all it just depends on how you would handle it.

Interesting. But I'm actually talking about betting not gambling (taking big risk). Ofcourse, I'm aware that gambling is prohibited by certain society or religion(like Christianity). Gambling is actually immoral but what I'm referring to is Betting, Prediction or Lottery, they are actually not immoral if done in moderation or with safe games/competitions/event. It's OK to use betting, lottery (casting lots) to randomly distribute prize/values to winners. I still don't see anything wrong in that. But it's not ok to gamble or take big risk in betting, lottery or prediction market, those are gambling actually.
My Religion is ok with Betting or casting Lot, if done right

I think that is because people know that bet, whether to use money or not, is prohibited in their religion. But some people who know about that will be okay to gamble.
Maybe when people gamble, they will use money and risk that to make money. If that is free money from the other needs, maybe that will be okay. But if that money is for buying food, that will not be okay. It depends on each person's perception because we can not blame people who are still playing gambling.

Gambling is forbidden in my culture and it's illegal gambling silently consumes an individual's thoughts actions and behaviors even after repeated attempts. Gradually all economic family or social relationships start to deteriorate then the person becomes a explanation for mental disease someone within the name of business someone with the offer of lucrative rewards is spreading it through the holes of society. In many cases it's seen that the influential people of the society provide fuel behind it during many of us know that what they're doing is illegal or unjust.

No suitable answer yet. The question remains, what is Betting called in your language or culture. Or doesn't anyone has a name for it in his/her native language. To be honest, I'm really curious about what they are called in other tongues to help me determine how acceptable they were in olden days or whether they even existed in the olden days.
Please don't derail so your post will make some sense.
You are looking for the terms used for betting in other languages? Still the meaning of the betting is going to be betting and every religion differs from one another so if you are following one then it may be right for you but it doesn't mean others were wrong.Please don't derail so your post will make some sense.
From the old age the betting existed in different forms even there are some kings lost their wife to other kings while betting.

What I've heard the most is that the game is a bad habit.
Game isn't bad. It's the habit that makes it bad when you're playing too much of it and it affects your normal life.There are people who have ended up ruined by gambling, though they are far from the norm, and I tend to believe that those people, even if the game didn't exist, would have ruined their lives otherwise. In other words, gambling problems are a symptom, not the cause.
When they've out of control, that's the problem start to exist and it's hard to deal with it because they cannot even beat it on their own. Mostly, they need a helping hand to overcome it. Is it acceptable to Bet (not necessarily with money) in your culture/language? Still trying to understand why the modern world hardly see it as something we should engage in. The funny thing about this is that most humans today regularly or occasionally Bet without realizing it.
Do you know that the Holy Bible didn't condemn betting? infact, servants of the CREATOR even engaged in betting to help them determine the mind of the CREATOR on something. It's actually called "Lot" (casting Lot or something)
So, what do you call it in your culture, is it considered a bad thing, if yes ,why?
Christianity followed by most of the people in thisnworld followed by other religions but as per the Bible money that comes from the greed state of your mind then its not going to withstand and also said the same in multiple statements and all of them are against free money so its good as long as you know that you are mot doing it for making money.
