The seven deadly sins are based on: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth.

It has come to my intention that gambling is related to the SDS. Not all of them, but I believe Pride, Greed, Wrath, Sloth are what makes of a gambler.

Pride: The will of not losing. The gambler always strives not to lose as he always wants to win not matter the cost. He would throw his life, fortune, even his beloved ones for the sake of money. ( I am talking about a very addictive gambler.)

Greed: A gambler always wants to gain money even if he is already rich. Why buy two houses if you can buy one? Why do you need more much money when you already are living a good life?

Wrath: A gambler will not be able to control his emotions when he loses which will be the result of releasing his anger on people around him or even hurt himself.

Sloth: A gambler wants easy money, easy life, easy things. He does not make efforts to gain money. That is why he resorts to gambling because he can get two birds with one stone; money and fun.

The mentioned above are within the human nature. It is a challenge for yourself whether you are able to control them or let them take over yourself. It is up to you to decide.

Their are lot of this type of quotes which clearly describes what are the sin's of gambling but even then their are users who are still gambling and which can't be controled

Don't you think that you gone a bit too far with this headline and topic? Why would someone post this? What are your intentions? You don't have your own life so you are watching what others do, and of course judge them?
I wonder what is it in the mind of the people who post this kind of threads, about what you think? Do you just post to be paid and because your campaign ask from you to post in gambling section?
Clearly you people don't have your own life and anything else smart to do. I love to gamble and I enjoy doing that, what will you do now? Everything you wrote doesn't have any connections with reality, you don't know what is gambling you don't know any gambler. I will come back to see your answers on my questions, but I doubt I will see any.

Wow, can't believe you are triggered. Calm down, bro, a nerve might explode.
Too many dumb questions. But it is okay. I will answer them all.

1- What is your definition of "a bit too far". The headline and topic are clear. I used to gamble a lot and have many friends who gamble with me. That's why it has come to my attention that the seven deadly sins can be related to the gambler.

2- why would someone post this? . Why not?

3- what are your intentions? . Well, I want to be the most powerful Jedi ever.

4- I like to observe people. But I think you are contradicting yourself. You just proved that you also watch what others do. Otherwise, you would not post such a comment blaming me for posting this topic. Why do you care anyway?

5- My campaign does not tell me to post on the gambling discussion section. I am posting this because why not? This topic has never been stated before.

6- Clearly, you are not in a position to judge me. Who said I do not have a life? Grow up.

7- I did not attack any gambler. If you were smart, you would have figured out what I was talking about. But you are as dumb as your questions.

8- what will you do now? . Nothing, I will go and watch Rick and Morty.

I think that nearly all of these traits are common to most people, regardless of whether they are a gambler or not. Nearly everybody is greedy, and wants to earn good money with minimal effort, that is just wishing for optimization. If you ask anybody, would they rather work hard for x money, or be given x money for free, they would almost all choose the second option, unless they are complete idiots. Wrath, I do agree is a tell-tale sign of a gambler, when they lose their money they then begin taking extreme risks to recover it, like betting their remaining bankroll on ridiculously low odds, whilst saying "fuck it". People rarely do such stupid mistakes unless they have been tilted previously.

Those characteristics will not really become a problem unless taken to the extreme after all all of us have a desire to have a little bit more that is what impulse us to work hard to learn and improve ourselves in that case a desire like that is a positive one since it pushes you in the right direction however those that have a sick desire for material possessions will rely on activities like stealing or scamming which is not only illegal but very damaging for the people that performs those actions.

So what's else you expect them to be already decide that there is no way for them to win and simply play without having any greed or pride , gambling is surely not the right way to earn money but being greedy comes when they already made a good amount of profit but are still craving to get more profit that's wrong

How about Lust, Envy and Gluttony?
I think these seven deadly sins are all connected to each other, for example:
Lust could be look as Greed, a lust for money, a lust to win.
Gluttony could also be look as Greed or Lust, you are always hungry for winning, money, fame and everything.
Envy for Pride, you are feeling jealous because you keep on losing and then your pride keeps feeding your ego and you start to think all about of yourself.

All of these deadly sins explained one thing only, that when you are in all of these state, you are starting to become selfish. So therefore being selfish is a sin.

A presence of mind could always help us to think properly.

People decide to gamble when they already mature and prepare enough !
And IMO, greed is everything but it's human nature !

That's why gambling shouldn't be introduce on children or who are not ready to gamble because the consequence is too great !

It's not human nature. If so, then majority of all gamblers will be like that. What I called them are the "traits" that can be acquired by gambing once they fall for it.

For reference:


Basically "for me", those traits above are just bound to happened when someone fall on the trap of "loving gambling". If that is a natural effect, an average gambler must experienced it too but no since they can control it.

Open for responses.

All of those 7 deadly sins would really be committed by means of playing too much gambling.Those will really come out and would really result if you do play too much or engage on it without any moderations but this would be entirely depending on what kind of person you are because usually motives and actions would really vary into ones personality since from the beginning.If you are a type of person which is greedy in the very first place then expect it would come up with another deadly sin is already being posted above which i do completely agree with those things.If we are not sensible enough with our actions risk on falling into that pit of sins would be high. Always play gambling without any involvement or do have a target goal which will force out unpleasant things.

Addiction in anything is not good. Be it gambling or alcohol or power. But I don't agree with one adjective that you have used for gamblers, that is sloth. Gambling is extremely adventurous by nature. A person who is looking for easy money, will think of some other way but not gambling. Because gambling is full of uncertainties. A lazybone and easy money lover will not even come to this gambling industry.

Also you have missed few good points about gamblers. Those are,

1. Risk takers
2. Adventurers

A gambler needs to have these qualities and because the risk in gambling is higher than any other industry, the risk adjusted reward is also higher.

I agree with this more than anything else stated prior in this thread. I primarily gamble for the rush and also for the money. There are definitely people out there with some with the SDS described in the OP of the thread as a result of gambling, but it doesn't mean you can't gamble and have the sins.

Tl;Dr Most people gamble simply for recreation and not for money. Not everything in moderation is good (drugs, for example), but gambling is okay as long as you don't start mindlessly gambling.

Gamblers will not recognize sins, even if they already know gambling is a sins, but they will still gamble because of the appetence that control the human psyche.

When it comes to drugs it would be an another story because moderation wouldnt be suited on that thing. On bolded part i do see the opposite thing where people do mostly gamble due to the sake on making money because when we do talk about recreation there are lots of other options on where we can engage on.

There two types of gamblers, the one that wants only to play the game and the other one is to win the game. Gamblers may not admit that gambling is a sin simply because they have their own beliefs. Addiction in gambling is a great sin for me because that is the time when money controls your mind and body. You can still prevent yourself from falling into pieces, just learn how to be more responsible.

I think the topic being discussed is natural and there is no problem, as long as it is not out of line, still in the context of gambling, in fact beyond any bias discussed both the loss, the profit, even the sinfulness is not a problem, it can be a material or information that we can , even this is a very interesting topic for me, when many people are discussing the huge profit and income of gambling, we will also know what sin we will get if we play gambling as a religious creature, all complete in this forum.

Delivering words like this prove to me that your a real gambler and all of this are based on your own experiences and i salute you for that,you have a big respect and concerns to you co gambler thats why you triggered to create topic like this and mentioned all the  fundamentals a gambler must do either he want to lessen if not may stopped or wanted to grow in world of gambling..many gamblers dont admit this reality thats why until now they dont really know what is belongs to the future,if they will continue gambling or will focus i real life legal and fair.

Hope you will continue this legacy OP that even .if you wont change you destiny because of being engaged in gambling,atleast you can saved souls for better future..again I SULUTE YOU OP..

I believe that what you have written here is the truth because Everytime We gamble we feel the pride of being a winner especially if we have experience it. For the greed that's when we didn't stop instead of just putting limits. a lot of people have been triggered by this thread so I will just watch. Haha.

Yeah there are two kinds but the people who only wants to win the games will get addicted by over time.But we can't say gambling or gamblers or sin we can only call addiction is a great sin because people can't control their own feelings.

Gambling is part of life, but if you gamble Bitcoin means you want to take the risk it's because gambling can give you two option. Be poor or be rich. Waste your money in gambling without even thinking your needs then your done, but gambling with wise decision then your okay with it. We cannot just conclude what gamblers feel, it always depends to what we want to do. Don't gamble with shitcoins always gamble with pure one.

Gambling has never been part of life. You can live a normal life and get rich without gambling. It can make you either poor or rich. But it is going to be your choice whether to be poor or rich because you can gamble and be aware of your limits. Gambling can teach you lots of things, but once you are addicted to it, it will turn you to the dark side, and it will be hard to get out of it. And by the way, what do you mean by shitcoin and pure one?

then what do you mean? does opening company to get rich? if yes, I guess that too gambling. because opening the company was the same as gambling with the hope that the capital can be re-issued and can benefit. because if the business you open fails. it will make you lose. and in conclusion it is also a gambling

I could not agree with you more mate. The number one negative factor that a gambler should eliminate in himself is greed. When a gambler wins in a betting, he should be have a goal of how much target he want to win for that occasion and then came back another day. I have experienced it myself where i already won and did not go home so at the end i lose all.

If talking about human greed, I think not only in gambling that greed will happen but in life or other prophecies will also cause greed that has been trained since childhood if want to have something that really wants to have more than one or two and a thousand, greed already exist in our own lives and it depends on how to respond and control every event with ourselves, so not all gamblers are greedy there may be some, if they get a victory yes it's luck he can not be called bad thing to the 7 points you mentioned , they are human characters that have existed from childhood in practice to adulthood how we control them. Too creepy for such a title placement.

I bet that you got this idea on the Anime "The Seven Deadly Sins" which is really connected in gambling. What you have said was true, this seven behavior of all of us is so hard to manage whenever we trigger it. Mostly when we are playin gambling, all of this sins are provoking us to gamble even more, to believe that we could win in gambling if we are going to continue, thought the truth is not.

I think that you explain it is not from the various sins in gambling, but more to the effect of playing gambling or it could be bad effects in gambling.

I don't think it's sin to gamble and so I don't like to call it sin in any sense, again this is moral policing at it's best considering you're wearing a gambling site signature and calling it sin is weird. What are your credentials to even go into this and what knowledge do you posses to come to this conclusion, I don't understand this ideas of yours. Many of your points are not true at all, times have changed and you're yet sticking to old concepts.

Gambling isn't a sin at all it depends on the persons and the gambler now you seem like a person who doesn't like gambling so you consider it as a sin but for a gambler it is everything for him he tries to make a income for it or tries to fulfil his dreams so it isn't sin for him , i consider gamble perfectly fine as long as you are not addicted to it

Human are greedy creature and it's always will be. All we can do is just how to control it before it's over-capacity or got addicted.
Family support and religion play the main role !

Once they win, they have a pride , it's also dangerous if they can't control it.
I'm ever win 0.09 but when I keep play it, I loss it all eventually !

Nice article, I like the way you make the use of words and imagination to compare it into gambling to explain these. I just want to add that on the issue of 'pride', I think this should be referred to as 'urge'. This is because most people have a very serious and uncontrollable urge that keeps luring them to play even though their brains keeps telling them to stop because they might lose.

I think Envy should also be included because it is essentially another factor for someone to start gambling. They are so frustrated with their lives and they see someone that they know that became very successful and they can't take that.

People become addict of this game. Plus the greediness for memory make them stay at casinos and lose everything they have. Actually this is all about the game of emotions, you don’t have to work hard and just play some stupid games and if up are lucky that day, you will win. Then emotions cover you up and compels you that this is such an amazing source of money, and people get convinced and lose next time.

These are all interesting answers to a question that most gamblers do not want to face or admit too.
But we all know they are bad for you as sins are if you get down to the root of the problem if it is a problem for you that is

Gambling is against some religions as it leads to all of these things described in the opening post.
So the next question you would need to ask one's self (if you are engaged in a way it has become an overwhelming problem in you life) is if it has gone this far and if so then you should seek help to stop committing this sin in your life.

There is never a choice for the gambler. He can wish to win but he cannot choose to win. Gambling is a luck dependent game and most of the times, the house has edge over his players so it is almost impossible to defeat luck and house at the same time. This game has destroyed happy families. One must never try it at the first place because it is a way too addictive.

I think nothing is ever really a choice even if it's only a minut detail of yourself you can never really be sure of anything. Knowing that gambling is a luck dependent game like you said, it's just going to be a chance for you to really win and there's nothing you can do about the but prepare and limit yourself.

Well anything wrong is always wrong whether someone consider it or not. Wearing a signature for gambling site doesn’t change the nature of gambling. In fact it is a bold step by anyone to tell the truth. Have you ever heard by any employee of the cigarette industry that smoking is not injurious to health? We can’t change nature of the things tobacco was injurious to health a century ago, it is now and it will be injurious to health even after passing centuries.
It really don’t makes any sense of sticking with old concepts but it is about sticking with the truth. You may not have courage to speak the truth but don’t criticize the truth.

Gambling is just a game. Just for fun and make their own selves a relaxation. But if you don't know what it means and how to manipulate it to your own, or how to handle your self from this addiction, it's not a good for a self relaxation.. It's called addiction and losing money for nothing. And it's called sins.

Yes, gambling itself is not a sin in fact its a source of entertainment and recreational activity but it is mainly one of the reason that makes people commit sin if gambling is out of control, gamblers tends to compromise things such as time for relationship, family and above all if he will bet the compromise money that suppose to be for family use.

People who are experiencing these things are only people who are going to the casinos for the purpose of earning money. If you are a gambler and you are gambling for entertainment, you don't expect to win or lose but you expect to have a good time. You do not expect to earn money from it as just spending your time in a casino is enough value for your money. We can view this in different ways but going to a casino is really not a sin even if you fall into your explanation as not all gamblers want to earn money, some even view it as a bonus of having a fun time in a casino.

Well, there was one topic "is gambling a sin", so this is something similar. While gambling itself isn't sin it could lead to sins, gamblers need to be responsible, that's it.
That is nothing. I opened topic some time ago and asked something like "why everyone is gambling for fun and no one to win money" and I have to tell you I've never seen anyone so pissed about it like this guy, he has responded the same way like he did it here.
Hilarious. +1 for this.

Oh please! Why do we even get to talk like this sometimes? These two should never be placed on the same level. When you are opening a company, you have one sole purpose, which is to use your idea and skills to make profit and even though things may not turn out as you want, it would be rare not to make it work if you have quality skills and an idea that can sell.

However, in gambling, this is a totally different case entirely, whereas you have no idea, clueless as f**k, no skills and all you have is luck, and in that case, you are really prone to losing everything unless you are just some very strange lucky man and even at that you have also been able to dish yourself some brains in the process.

Maybe he is a gambling addict, so he likes making a company (maybe he means to make a business because the company is too broad) like it's gambling. Logically gambling and making the company very much different, such as land and sky is too much to compare it.

Making a company needs special planning, while gambling just needs a capital to bet on. Making a company needs special skills while gambling just needs luck (I have not found a specific strategy to win any gambling) only. Making a company needs a lot of consideration while gambling just needs greed.

Yeah, he i think he was right because when you are risking it means you have to choose and it is considered as gamble. Not every gambling is a bad influence or habit it is just how you see it. By having a perception you can always look different on so many things so i guess gambling is always a part of our life.

That is the problem.
Some people do not separate these two from each other.
Entertainment purposes or for solely earning money. Because if it is the latter then they will undoubtedly end up losing everything because as everyone here knows, gambling is a game of chances and to land a profit you have to be extremely lucky.
If they end up with nothing and bust they will view gambling as a sin because it leads them to a road they would rather not be in which could be a sort of hell for them.

Deadly sins are true and concrete if we may think of it but also we have our own perspective and belief in life, maybe you look gambling as a tool for evilness but if we take a closer look to 'why' then we can say that it's because of money and we all know the saying 'money is the root of all evils'

Most of the people that into gambling always tell other people that they are doing it just for entertainment but technically they really want to earn money from it, both angle has a point so it's just how we think of it.

I'm not sure those original sins are related to gambling.  I think most people who start out gambling are just looking for fun, and not for a better life, easy money, or any of that.  It's an escape, just like drinking booze is at first.  Then, given enough time at the casino it becomes harder to live life without gambling.

For myself, gambling has always been just something fun, a pastime.  I wouldn't say I've reached the point where it's problematic, and I'm hoping it never does.

Will,thats not true ,that gambler needs an easy money,because this is not also an easy task or work of how to winning in gambling games in a good way.actually according to this statement that gambling is part of the seven deadly sin thats belong in sloth and pride that supposedly is not true,because the  the sinful of the man is only belongs to its self behavior and not belong's the things he would doing,because gambling is only an instrument an part of enjoyment and not to overtake your pride and power to your co person.

I agree, things are depend on the perspective of the viewers and how they used that thing. It just became bad when you got addict on it where you are in a point that you are greedy to win a huge amount but forget that you already losing your money. You must be responsible when you enter the world of gambling and must have a self control.

Nope, his points and explanation are all accurate. He is just explaining the general behavior of men when gambling and match it up the seven deadly sins which I strongly agree since I experienced this kind of behavior when I'm playing. People are usually playing gambling for fun and also to have a fast profit since you will not gain 100% + profit in a seconds in investment or in your job.

And that is really what perturbs me a lot as to why someone would sit in their right mind and say the only thing they want to do with their life is never to reason, come up with ideas to create investments and all they want to keep doing is finding how to get lucky.

Even if they eventually get lucky, it is not like they always do anything tangible with the winning as their greed always make them to throw it all away back in gambling. With the way people think on this forum, I guess it is about time I started considering owning a gambling platform myself.

The fact that people think that gambling is made as a part of life away to make living, is what makes them fall to their greed, gambling shouldn't be a thing that you must do, it is something that kind you want to do when you have some extra money, it was meant as an entertainment not as job, because otherwise it will become an addiction and causes you as far as losing all your money.

Right.But still lot of people are doing gambling the wrong way.Even if they have less amount of money to support to the family's needs,they will resort it to gambling hoping the amount will be doubled or tripled in just a day.And once they lose,it will result to anger or wrath.I believe all kinds of people have these different negative traits,it's just that others are able to control their emotions rather than bargaining them.

Well, with the accordance to christian teaching the seven deadly sins are the cardinal sin which includes greed,pride,lust,gluttony,envy,wrath and sloth and so if we relate it to gambling then surely there is something that can link to those seven deadly sins much more on greed because gamblers will often to be greedy, and the lust of aiming more and more money or even sloth because mostly gamblers will nothing have to do just to gamble and they forget any other responsibility for their love one's.

I used to quote this that mostly humans are slaves to their desires and temptations. These are also very easy to manipulate. Mostly gamblers are weak at controlling their emotions and no one can ever understand himself well. Gambling should be voided no matter how much appealing it is because the end results are a way too horrible for having some fun or taking a risk.

Gambling is just a game and telling should be avoided isnt really proper either yet we do still need some enjoyment thats why we do tend to play gamble but the risk do only happen when you are already committing mistakes due to your emotion and the feeling of getting greedy because gambling do always talk about money and people do love money this is why people do fall into the pit of addiction which will really be the main reason why we do mess up in the end.

I believe that is just a way certain people always console themselves, by thinking they can just keep gambling their way through out life. Basically it is a human nature like for engaging into something unnecessary, they all need some reasons. By consoling themselves, they are actually cheating them themselves. Yes, nothing more than that.

You are certainly right as gambling should never be perceived to be part of life, and it is a life that each and every one who gambles has decided to choose and few people are always there trying to control this nature so it does not get out of hand while a lot of people always end up screwing up badly.

Yes, gambling is a choice as far as I am too concerned but a part or way of life is a big NO !

I really do wish a lot of people understand this and they do not end up turning to screw themselves up by having a totally different mindset in the long run. The problem with certain people is that they expect so much from gambling which is the reason why I have seen some people here comparing gambling to opening of companies. It is really funny where some people always end up getting that sort of mindset from which is the reason we have so many insane gamblers today than sane ones.

No doubt that man is born greedy by his birth and it’s a natural thing and no one can do anything to stop it. The only thing that one can do to remove his greed is to control himself and build some patience in him that one day he will get everything he wants, just he needs is a little bit hard work. Family’s support will make you more intense gambler, you should say that family’s opposition; that’s the right word.

Basically, man becomes like that because of the possibility of having a personal benefit. Being able to have profit relied on the person's interest because if something would be gained from the action that you are going to do, for this case, it's greediness in gambling, you would gain winnings but only if you win. It's different on other stuff like helping someone out.

Yeah, we certainly cannot conclude what gamblers feel since everyone will certainly know what makes them feel right or not, however, greed is the worst of all the sins of every gambler. So many people who have been gambling today and ended up turning into addicts ended up doing so as a result of their greedy nature. Gambling finds a way to tap into some part of your thoughts and if you allow it to take full control based on how you perceive it, then, you are done for.

Gambling can be either played for fun or profit only. There is nothing else that it can give to the players. For those who consider it as a good enjoyment in spare time, they should put limit to their fun and those who have false ideas like becoming millionaire with gambling, they need to consult a good doctor because their brain apparently is not working in the way it is supposed to.

Every game in gambling has a bad influence or a bad effect on you and your life till play it by putting bets of different amounts. If you are playing any of the gambling game just for fun purpose or to try something new in your life, that is fine and even your family would not stop your if you visit that place for one or two times but when you will start playing to earn, then gambling becomes bad for you.

because it is forbidden by religion. so if I think before it's too late it's better to stay gambling game it's because gambling is one of the unloved jobs above

True it is forbidden by religion and true that its better to say no to a game of chance than suffer the consequences. But "job"?? Gambling is not a job. Its a mode of entertainment and for some it is a method to make some extra cash. You should never look into gambling as a way of earning because it is not so. The casino owners are the ones who are running the business and mind you its a very profitable one.

So if people enter gambling thinking it to be a source of income then they are doomed for sure.

Well, some religion do frown at gambling, but that does not make it evil or anything related to it. If you are not performing any fraud, scam or a hoax, but play a fair game, then you are good. Gambling is a game and shouldn't be considered as a job, because there is a possibility of winning and also a possibility of not winning. One shouldn't depend on it for living.

Regardless of whatever reason that is, gambling ultimately results to someone being poor or rich mentally/financially. Most of the gamblers gamble due to the hope that they are clinging to, meaning they view it as a way of alleviating their financial struggle by relying on an unpredictable means of acquiring money. Gambling creates this illusion wherein an individual is stuck on an endless loop, thinking that they can lift themselves up from their current position to a better position financially. But in the end, it only makes their situation worse, not just financially but also spiritually and mentally.


I agree. Relying your financial status on an unpredictable outcome would only result to an individual losing more and making his situation worse. If one is stuck on this problem but he/she thinks that they can lift themselves out from this situation, then there is this conundrum that is present.

The reason why some religions prohibit gambling is because they are aware of the bad effects of gambling what it can lead the person to do - potentially harmful things to their family. Religious leaders dont want the people to go to the wrong track and hence they do so.

However if you stop a person from doing something their curiosity will rise and thus this often leads to people daring to gamble. What should be done is people educated properly about the bad effects and hope that it has some effect on their minds.

I agree with the point  that you made and relations because it is definitely one of the reasons why People help other people to stop gambling and that’s the outcome that they are going to get if they get addicted. It’s better to stop the cause then have a remedy when it has already started. I agree that properly educated people have better ways to cope up with the changes if ever but Sometimes it doesn’t work.

I don't really care about the things that religions tell us to do or not to do. They are just a set of rules, like the law, but unlike the law you're choosing to obey them and aren't forced to do so. I'm not religious and I don't follow their rules. I have my own, they're called ethics. Gambling is completely fine according to those rules.

Personal preference is what gambling is all about.
When it comes down to it.
You are the one wagering with your money not somebody elses so you are taking your destiny in your own hands and should not blame it on sins or fictional mumbo jumbo.

I do not know why people are bring religion into this conversation because gambling should not have anything to do with it. ::)

Gambling is not all about sinning. It depends on the person on how they treat it. For me, it's an entertainment where winning is just a bonus. You just test on how lucky you are or you just want to kill time.

I agree with you, a lot of people say it's a sin. But I think everything that is related to money is a sin. Think about trading and investing? Same there: greed and wrath. And even when one is dealing with money in a daily life he faces the same problems. The only way out is just not to take money that seriously and consider it as a game.

Its your choice what you want to do in life and definitely your own choice if you want to gamble or not. However there is something called experience and knowledge about things - those who have gambled know that in the long run gambling only leads to profit for the house and not the player. Mainly these people are the ones who advice other novice/less experienced people about the bad effects of gambling.

You dont need to think of this as religious stuff. There are atheists too and then there are people who are addicted gamblers and those who detest gambling.

There are other forms of entertainment without involving money. Killing time?  That's the lamest excuses if you are going to gamble. In my view, the argument of gambling is a sin as per religion can be trace back in the Bible. However, as a human being we still have a choice to make, and even it is against your religion, if you see no problem gambling then I don't consider it committing a sin.

It's up to us, we know what's the effect of gambling, but if you still chooses to do so then its your fault. But please stop with the gambling is a sin because of religion argument here.

Guys, my thread is not about the effects of gambling... It is about the seven deadly sins which I consider to be part of the gambler. Plus, religion has nothing to do with the seven deadly sins. And speaking of religion, especially Islam, it does not forbid gambling because of the sins, but simply because you need to make efforts to gain money, not just take people's money with zero efforts. That is from the perspective of Islam.

You said it right dude. That is why in some religions gambling is considered a sin. Gambling it addicted can also lead to thief, and lies. If they are too addicted and they ran out of resources but still want to continue so the tendency is they will steal other people’s money. They will also lie and invent stories just to get people’s sympathy and get money.

The dilemma is, no one is ready to listen to you. Once I ask someone who gambles to quit that game for the sake of his family, he start abusing me. He thinks I am more interested in his family than him but I was really shocked at him. The way he was praising gambling and continuously claiming of gambling as best source of income, I was really shocked and astonished.

There will be no wonder with his behavior and imaginations. Most addicted gamblers do not fulfill their family responsibilities which makes them thinking like that. Until they themselves realize the actual dangers and sins of gambling, there will be no possibilities for them to come out from gambling.

The sad part is, when they are realizing, probably they might have nothing left. It means sometime their family members also would have left them as they do fail in each and every aspects of normal human being. Gambling is good when it is within some limits. But most gamblers starts that way but over time, they do increase their limits and finally get addicted. Once addicted their life starts ruining.

Well now that i think about it, it does indeed make sense, all the deadly sins are in fact a part of an addicted gambler's personality, Greed,Pride, Envy, Wrath, Gluttony Sloth, and most of all Lust, the desire for money and power is what drives a gambler the most, and they all explain the reason behind an addicted gambler's actions and behaviors.

Why do you care about religion it nothing but all a business and you think people in your religion don't gamble I'm sure there will be several people who gamble even when it isn't allowed in gambling

Just because we have the freedom to do whatever we want to rather we can do whatever we like to does not mean everything is right. There are people who get affected by our actions because we all have bonds and relations. These relations suffer whenever a mistake is made. Gambling is not only going to hurt gambler but his close ones too but if someone is okay with that, its mean of him.

I agree. Every adult has the right to decide what moral rules to follow upon condition that nobody gets hurt by his/her actions. I think it would be better if in those countries where gambling is prohibited they were paying more attention to awareness-raising activities rather than to enforcing some rules. It's a known fact that people sill gamble a lot in the places where it is prohibited only the process takes the form of more sinister appearance there. Same goes for prostitution and soft recreational drugs. Those things should be regulated by the state, but not forbidden.

And I believe all the sins are directed toward a person through one door and that is gambling. When a person goes into a casino, he start losing all the positive aspects he had once. He start telling lie and start dishonesty with people. He start drinking and consuming drugs and then the bad times start when he lose all what he had in his pocket. So better to retrieve yourself from this evil.

It is not only about gambling, but also in every other field like politics, relationships, and so on. Like it or not, these sins are within the human nature. They are locked up within us, and the moment they feel the urge to emerge, they do. I would be lying if I said gambling has only drawbacks, but if you are addicted to it, it will harm you.

It is like smoking or any other thing. If you eat too much, you will get fat. If you sit for a long time, you will get sitting disease. Everything is done excessively will harm you.

I don't even know why they are singling out gambling for sin when we have all sorts of trading platforms running which operate in the same way as gambling and can be as addictive as well. Why aren't forex trading or even gold, silver and the rest of the commodities on the stock exchange treated the same way? I don't think it's fair because in all of them you have to hedge with your money until a time to make profits or losses.

I never said that. It is the person who is doing something who is supposed to judge their actions as right or wrong. Gambling is wrong according to someone may not be true for another person.

Again, every gambler should understand the implications of their gambling habits. If they are having a bad time with their family due to their habits then they should stop gambling or reduce the frequency of gambling.

It is an addiction if done too much. But failing to realize that the effect is bad is being stupid.

We all are sinners, someone more, someone less. My own I do not believe in all those bitten cheeks and so on, but I think those basic rules that written in Bible are just holding us from killing each other. Every single person as much sinner as he allow himself to be.

It may sound blasphemous but to be honest, the bible has little to do with the peace we have today. Remember that there has been a lot of war and killings in the name of "god" of whatever religion. The christians once launched a crusade and killed thousands of people or even millions. Then the muslim extrimist also have done so through whatever terror group. Can we say the bible was the leading cause of peace? I don't think so. Gambling is another issue, like something was extremely wrong with the act. No one is hurting anyone in gambling but themselves if they lose, so why is it a sin?

The number one sin of gambling is greed because though people will be winning, they should know exactly when they should say "hey i have won enough" but that rarely happens and then they start a downward spiral where they lose everything in the process.

If the Bible said not to kill each other, then why there had been wars done by Christians? They claimed that God sent them to make other people follow the right path. And the results were the bloodshed, discrimination, and so on. And added to that, the bible has nothing to do with Gambling. So, I do not why you related religion to what I have said in my thread. Get your facts straight from now on.

If you say gambling is a part of life, it is a stupid thing and thing that pushes you into a dark world. because gambling can hurt you and will make you fall poor and if there are rich because playing gambling in just a short time it will not last long.
being a good part of life is a positive thing or doing a good thing that will make you hudup calm and blessing. You are very mistaken if gambling will be a part of life, a suitable gambling game is just a moment to fill the void or entertainment for a moment.

Everyone in this world is a mix of good and bad. There is good in bad and bad in good - the Yin and Yang. You can see this everywhere in real life. A bad person will have some good qualities and a good person will have some bad qualities. Its upto the person dealing with them who is going to determine which side they want to see.

The holy books or so dont stop you from gambling. If you want to gamble forget about the world and gamble. The texts are there to guide you not to enforce you. What you do is dependent on your insight and conscience.

Gambling may sound negative in all aspects but still some people choose to do it.That's why gambling is only intended for fun and entertainment and not just to become a main source of living.It is there where pride,greed and sloth starts.People cannot control their emotions anymore especially if they keep on losing so they will just end up destructing their own lives.

Some gamblers do the bad things in the name of gambling, they tend to forced someone to give them money so they can gamble. This is how risky the gambling is because you will not just loss the money but yourself too. Some people think gambling is just a sin but I think it will depend on every gamblers decision.

those things which is OP mentioned above is clearly true that this is common mistaken from people who already being an addicted gambling with eventually those things can lead people to ruin their life and ruin their family but besides all of it people has do the Seven Deadly Sins such as OP said because they're too lazy to do works hard and want instant money

being a human, it is not possible to never commit a crime or do a wrong deed. As the saying goes, to err is human. We are not flawless. But like you said, some people are worse than others. At the end of the day, we all have hurt others in one way or other. But as far as we learn from these sons and give up on them, if think it is more than okay to screw up. A person must correct his path once he has learnt the truth.

Peep really need to reconsider their choice and change their taste or at least raise standards a bit high. Making gambling as one's part of life is the most stupid thing I have heard ever. Nothing can be as ridiculous, useless and dangerous as gambling is.

It can turn the life of a gambler into a living hell while making him a strong addict who won’t stop borrowing money and betting again. Anyone who loves himself will stay away from this.

Those who do bad things in the name of gambling need to mend their ways. If they are forcing people to give them money - the easy thing is to ignore them but if things become worse then they should take the help of local authorities law and order. While on the internet they can only beg in casino chatboxes - they would get muted very soon.

But if they took the path on their own will then who are you to judge? They will suffer but they wont learn their mistake or rectify it.

It is true that a lot of people get addicted to gambling and true that a lot of them are wanting to have an easy way of earning money but I don't think that some of them are gambling because they are wanting to earn money but also because they want to have some fun but I know deep inside that they want to earn but the real reason is just to have fun.

because gambling is prohibited by religions such as Islam and other religions. and it is also written in the book that the greatest sin is gambling. then before it is too late better self-conscious to stop doing gambling

So this would hurt gamblers religiously, thanks for informing them they will not go to heaven if they become addict. Youve a got a point here also, a spiritual point. Almost all the seven deadly sins are covered in gambling, so alarming, yet theres still people including those spiritual one who is deeply involved to it.

Self-consciousness should come to a human from inside and not from reading any religious texts. While it is true that religions condemn gambling even then the fact that gambling is leading to a bad loss should be understood by the person who is playing and not taught to them by some religious leader or so. Most people who start gambling know how bad the losing streaks can lead to but they fail to realize that in proper time.

Shows what you understand? That people dont even read these stuff anymore. They are greedy and thus they deserve the consequences.
