Is it a sin to gamble?

[poplolnman]

It's only a sin if you're harming yourself , your family or any body else in your environment due to your gambling activities . Religions have mixed up definitions of sins and prohibited deeds that are enlisted in their holly books . That does differ from a religion to another , but i'd prefer believing my own definition that a sin is something that we can apply the right or wrong rule on it and that it's level of danger could affect not only your present , but your future or somebody's else present and future .

As long as we are not harming our self or anyone around us, playing gambling is not a sin. I strongly believe that it is not a sin but people who plays gambling make it looks like a sin. Their addiction in gambling has made them change and sometimes the change is just too much that their addiction had lead them to do bad things. Other countries seriously take gambling as a sin but some has treat as a source of income in which some people by playing relays this happiness/

gambling considered as a sin due its unfair system in there. it's indeed there's something called provably fair where claimed as a technology to keep between the casino earnings and player winnings always fair. but behind all of it there's a lot of people suffering lost and basically it's given to the chosen one who lucky enough to win. it's random indeed and fair mathematically but not fair socially , that's what i think.

In fact the debate is never ending because as i ever said everyone has their own opinions, even though the person is religious but they can say the gamble is not a sin. all of this depends on the person's personality but i'm agree with you as long as we are not harming anyone, who care with sin.

Gambling being a sin depends on each person's perspective. However, like you have said, using your gambling activities to hurt others is a very big sin and as long as that can be curtailed and you know how to control yourself, then no shit! Yet I believe, for those who are extreme in gambling, I do not see how they do not end up hurting the people around them.

If we are one with the intention of gambling only for fun then for sure we will not consider gambling as a sin, only those who are addicted and have ruin their lives will think gambling is a sin but they are wrong with that and they are just coward enough not to admit their mistakes, instead they blame it to gambling. If it's a sin then we are all sinners here, I don'a agree with that because gambling is just a form of entertainment to me.

It depends on your religion in my opinion and if you don't follow your religion then it wouldn't be much of an effect because you don't fully do or practice your religion right? That's just my point of view. Just like you said, you should face the music by facing what is right in front of you. In the part where you said all sinners, we are, if you believe there is a sin. We're only human.

It is a sin for some people right but we do have our own feeling on how to see this thing. For me I dont consider it a sin as long as I dont use the money to buy something. Everything that I won from gambling site will goes back to the gambling site so that is why I dont really care about that because I only win a small amount of money as well

Well that's how i see it as well. Aside from people whose religions forbid gambling, therefore it is considered as a sin for them to do so, i see gambling as a past time. Nothing to be taken seriously and not worth spending a huge amount of time.

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

Of course, it's not a sin if you do not take money from the family and do not deprive your child of simple things. After all, your conscience must definitely wake up, and so there is extra waste, personally your business.

The outcome will determine if you are making a sin or not, if you are just spending what you can afford and you do gambling for fun
then for sure you are not making any sin here, you consider only gambling for fun and that is necessary to avoid problem in the future.

[btctalk4life]

of course it is a sin but no one care about it

[siti25]

of course it is a sin but no one care about it

There are people who care about who does not care, it all depends on their individual personality. People who fear sin will care and choose to stay away from gambling, people who keep gambling mean they are not afraid of sin. If you already know that sin means that he will bear the risks. That is his choice.

Yes, it entirely depends upon the way a person thinks about gambling. Some people out there consider it as a sin. These are the ones who are actually seeking money in return of gambling. The other reason behind considering gambling as sin is the religious practices one might follow depending upon his believe. The fun seeking Gamblers do not consider it a sin and find it as a way to spend their leisure time.

what makes people feel so sorry and consider gambling as a sin are because of how the money making process in gambling feel like you are stealing other people money indirectly , 9 players lost out of 10 players and only 1 winner who get the prize . guess from where you get that prize? yeah from those people who suffering lost and in the end religion has a rule about that. pretty simple, would you like to obey it? go ahead , ignore it? be my guest.

People are always skeptical when it comes to winning money easily and they therefore term anything that is won easily as not being good. They therefore make a mistake when it comes to gambling because they think money can be easily won during gambling but in reality losing money is the easier thing to do when gambling.

In my own opinion gambling for me is pretty bad because once a person becomes a gambler he/she has possibilities to become greedy, selfish, full of pride and uncontented person, very fast to get mad.

Gambling is a seen in the eye of the law, however in reality gambling will become sin when they abuse it, since they want to earn a lot of money they were gambled toand take the risk because we're believe in our luck.
Moreover our instinct push as to do gambling, in addition our hunch make as confident because they also believe that we win in gambling.

There is no wrong in believing that you can make money in gambling if you are really showing it based on your actions and of course it should be seen on result. Problem will only happen when you are too confident that you can make money despite the fact that you continue losing, and when you lose that is when you did a sin as eventually it will affect your relationship with people that surrounds you, especially your family.

If losing too much which also affecting your personal needs because there's also instances that people lend just to proceed with their gambling problem and when they lose their money they can't afford to pay it back and that's how sin will appear as you are committed to pay your debt but how can you do it if you already loses it and it will just the same thing and same routine for an addicted person.

Definitely it differs with person to person. Some makes it a sign of virtue, some are making it sin, some are talking about the fun factor of its one side, some are just thinking not to work as it will cause harm. So that really depends on what are the beliefs of person as you have said. Gambling make your income less and then you are considering just bad aspects regarding gambling.

[Fatanut]

If it is a sin to gamble, then we should be able to conclude that taking risks (in life in general) should be considered as a sin. Gambling is nothing but taking risks but you take it repeatedly. Life is full of things like that unless you live in your mom's basement and you've never experienced anything in real life but use your computer 24/7. What's a sin is lying to your loved ones about where your money is going and why are you always out of money even if you have a day job. What's sin is recklessly gambling your money even if you know that your child is already hungry and needs some milk. Those are the sins that you commit once you are addicted in gambling but gambling itself is not a sin. It's the things we do in order to feed our gambling addiction that's a sin.

I've been reading replies from the past and they are saying that it's considered as a sin in their religion. How is that against your God and their morals? Gambling is just a game by itself. But it's not really a big of a deal if gambling is ever proven to be a sin or not. We all commit sins every now and then, some more often than others, and some worse than others. Just how innocent are you if your only sin was to gamble lol
