Gambling is not that sin if it gives you fun and it is also important that you have to control yourself it will be sin if you are losing a lot of money and you are not realizing that.
And you have to also save some money for backup otherwise the chance to be poor will be high.

Gambling your wife and kids or their future is a sin. But if you would use the money you allocated for your entertainment to try out your luck, its just fine. Just remember, if your action doesn't have any bad effects on any other living being, your are just fine with your journey to hypothetical heaven.

Indeed and that is also what people are saying, its really depending on how you look at it and what is happening at someone.
If you just do it for the enjoyment and it hurts no one it is no sin at all.

It will be only sin if you are losing a lot of money with gambling and there is a high change that you can lose a lot of money with gambling and that is bad.
But you have to know that losing is bad and that you have to realize that you must not gamble that much.

Yes, all the things that are dangerous to our happy life must be considered as sin. Gambling must be one of the greatest root cause for many problems in our life. So nothing is wrong in considering gambling as a sin.

I thought everyone would think of such things, because they adhere to a system that is important I win and let those who lose: v. until whenever gambling sin, as in gambling there are something things that force gamblers have to answer his money is gone.

Good answer. I mean not the answer you might get from a preacher, or whatever it called in different religions, but I think it's pretty good answer for a normal human being. If your gambling is causing no harm to anybody including you than gambling is not a sin.

Many people are not capable of thinking beyond a short visioned and narrow-mind.  The answer is something i do think is right. If you can gamble and keep it within borders so it doesn't affect
any others then it can't be called a sin.

But only very few people are able to keep gambling within their control without affecting to their routine life. So, majority of people find harder life with gambling. So, it can be a sin to many people IMO.

When your mind and body used to be in gambling there will be a possible effects you will get. With your daily gambling, it's like without gambling you don't what will happen to you even if you lose some you don't care even anymore. I think don't know if gambling is a sin or what, for me just controlling my self it's enough.

Definitely is a sin when the consequences of gambling are hitting straight to your life or that of your family members, beside that you will feel sad when gambling continuously as there will be more losses, this are all negative effects from gambling when you cannot do without it. In this case its a major sin. If you can control yourself and lets say you gamble only 30 USD a month from your monthly salary of 2500 USD and never gamble more than 30 USD per month, then this will not affect your or your family members life.

It is your life and you money so if you want to gamble then it is your choice and you should gamble, some people are becoming happy because of gambling. If you get happy from it then you should do it.

although it is a choice, I think that gambling is a sin, it's because you rely on the luck you have. if it was just fun it's probably not why. however, if you search for money through gambling, I think it was sinful, not all religions also prohibit it right? but if you do not believe in religion, then it is your choice, but I also sometimes gamble

its difficult to state a finality remarks since the topic gamble is link to sin.  Sin could be discussed in religious discussions or conversation based on the religions doctrines and views.  If it was wrong it will be based on the laws of a specific organization or institution and also for family values.  The explanation for the question "is it a sin to gamble" will have different views explanation due to different beliefs and doctrine interpretation for religions.  But if your heaven is Las Vegas then it is not a sin.

but seeing you trust rating i can tell you one thing that SCAMMING people is a sin in all religion so you should think about that 1st LOL

Gambling is a sin because it can bring up negative traits such as greed and selfishness; it’s how the world is corrupt. You have so much money but can’t share it with people around you. If you can’t control your gambling habits then it’s definitely as sin.

Your explanation sounded almost like gambling was the main reason behind constant civil wars in Muslim countries.
If you think that gambling is the reason why people are being  greedy and selfish then think again - it is pure human nature.

Gambling can be classified as problem, (or a sin as many of you would rather call it, because 'problem' is something that is caused by you, and sin is something you have very little influence over)
only when it creates more problems. Stop demonizing gambling - there are people who gamble responsible out there.

Actually, 99% of people who do have a negative nature of gambling and have a very bad impact on the society. they are more worried about gambling than their life in society, so that they do not have a friend and finally vent the pique with uncontrolled gambling.

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.

Gambling is not a sin as long as the money you used for it are not from illegal sources like scamming people.

It will only become a sin if you are so much into it and neglect the proper doings of a person to his self, and to people on his surroundings, always try to remember that gambling is only made for our entertainment, not for earning money or for being a slave of it.

It is not a sin to gamble in my opinion if the person wants to gamble the he or she shoud gamble. As long as they do not hurt other people with it I am oke with gambling.
