Is it a sin to gamble?

[durrrrdwan]

Gambling is not sin but it comes in category of norms just like telling a lie is considered bad habit and a liar is not welcomed in any society same gambling is a bad thing. It is prohibited in many societies by religion perspective just to save people from being victim of it which creates problems in society. It is kind a moral valued thing more than sin, in simple words.

For me gambling is a sin, because why are you gambling? Only for fun or profit? We are going to be honest we it the main reason why people are gambling is that they want to have a lot of money because they are hoping for it. And we all know that the love of money is the root of all evil things. So, when you run out of funds for your gambling needs then you can do bad things just for it.

Maybe some for fun and charity, in my country(I live in Europe), casino revenues contribute to taxes, for helping the poor, refugees, and unemployed people.

Many old people play slots after they got the change, playing for fun, only a few can win, they don't care losing money because they believe their money lost can contribute to the poor, which is a virtue. 

Where are you from? If you do not mind to tell us, your country is good.

I am a Finnish, and there are many refugees here, maybe over 300k refugees here, mainly from Africa and Middle Eastern. Although i don't like them, gambling gives them free welfare. Damn policy!!

We are working hard but no money for free, they don't need to work. VITTU!(FUCK in Finnish)

Are you a Christian? A muslim? If not, I don't think it is a sinful thing. Or is gambling in your country? If still no, why are you sinful? It is real life.

I think that gambling is really a part of our life. I am not referring to gambling games but in our daily life. We people really encounter problems in which we should have to gamble

It's very wrong, if you said it then you are already entered into the black ring (addiction), gambling. Because the majority of people in this world do not use the gambling, but they still can live very well and can also get something they want in a short time. So it's not about gambling, but into a matter of thought. If we are wrong to think and not be able to see all sides it will be bad

Well i think i have to defend my answer. I wasn't referring in gambling games mate. What am i actually saying is that in life all of us do really come to a point in which we have to choose to gamble in making our decision

Agree totally. Everything in life involves some level of Rik at some point. I mean we could be struck by lightning tomorrow. It probably won't happen but the odds are there and we know it does happen since we see it in the news. It just doesn't happen often.  Its like if you cros the road there is risk to be knocked over and killed. But we can improve pur chances substantially by being careful. However in the gambling world you can't reduce your risk % only the risk amount. Hence martingale strategy was born.

Actually the risk in gambling has many ways to be minimized yet it is still in a high risk margin. It was funny when you said about struck by lightning tomorrow but you are right your chance of winning is also the same % you get hit by lightning

with gambling there is always going to be a risk no matter what, if you dont want to get it just avoid gambling then and you will be safe

I find it noble they still trying to contribute to society. It's even better your government to make a sinning hobby to virtuous hobby. Spending all tax income to poor people is good. Give them equal chances, and yes that means also the newbie europeans. Although I have to admin 300k for such a small country is too much.

It is not a sin until you feel guilty.

You probably feel guilty because you have lost so much money and yet you are back on the casino hoping for a big win back.

You are disappointed with yourself but you just can't control it.

Next thing you know, you are on another losing streak.

Thoughts about how the money could have been better used linger in your head and mind.

You start feeling guilty & it is now a sin, a broken promise, and the loss of control over your own self.

[apriloni]

In most religions, or we can say that in almost all of the religions gambling is sin, and the reason of them is that in gambling when you play for money , you actually get the money of other and giving harm to other in that way.

I find gambling a game of chance or probability. If the chances of losing is very high and if it affects the individuals monetary status and social image, then it's definitely hurting his chances of earning a living. If he/she is coerced into gambling, it's also not right according to me. Gambling what you can lose is fine, but gambling to earn a living is just wrong. It's risky, could be filled with scam and tricks to dry your pockets.

it actually depends on the religion in my opinion if it is a sin or not, though in my opinion for most of them it will be a sin for sure

Religion only guides us on what is right and wrong but people deserved to be entertain in gambling. The effects of the gamblers will make him a sinner if because of gambling he will be desperate need of money and will resort to doing some illegal activities like stealing money.

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

what do you think mate? is playing gambling oks ? it definitely a sin because you are wasting your money instead of buying of your foods or something that you need you always take the risk to gambling , just because you think always that you are going to double your money in that easy say

[Jasad]

who cares, i am making nice profits now, as long as i make money, who cares?

yepp basically gambling are sin or not is your own personal problem ,
we are free to choose , but if talking about sin based on religion then it is a sin ,
most of us who gamble as habit will never care whatever it is sin or not ,
they will just do it and walk away.

What if he/she wins? and double his earning then he buy foods and something that he needs? Is it also bad? Yep gambling is bad if you are wasting your money like you just borrow money to others and play it in gambling then loss it again then borrow again and all in your life is full of borrows thats is bad! but if you are into gambling and you can take care of your money then thats not bad at all

We're doing things we shouldn't have done when it comes to religion. I think gambling can be a sin, but it totally depends on the way we're doing it: for profit, or for fun? And you will then know the answer to your question.

You are very wrong of, all the existing law that hangs on the law that we have. If we believe islam then gambling is one of the things sin. reason gaming is something thing that vote the fate and also a thing detrimental to either party. don't ever think that gambling is not a sin, because it's all already on the program

So you are saying that we will be punish because we are gambling to entertain ourselves? I do not think that is fair, gambling is like spending for something that you will enjoy, and you can also do that spending like watching a movie to get entertain, that is a waste of money too, is that a sin?
