Is it a sin to gamble?

[lenovo16]

Whether gambling is a sin depends on your own morals. For me I see nothing wrong with gambling I gamble for fun not profit. I can see how some cultures can see gambling as a sin as there are problems associated with it that can affect people and the people about them.

That's true it depends on how you'll take things deep or light. When we gamble and we don't intend to hurt other feelings then that is just fine and you are not robbing others money then that's going to be a good thing as a gambler.

Considering gambling itself for those people who believe it is a sin because it feel like robbing money from other people.
I mean you take the other people money when you wager and won it as in the other side there is someone who lost at the same time.
If you don't believe in that kind thought and just feel it fine then it is okay.

That's by far in my understanding when you believe that you are robbing from others money just because you are gambling?
It's quite different feeling that when you gamble you had to think that way, I believe that there might be people who are thinking that way but they are few.

Few but there is , and it is could be a big deal for them .
As long as you feel you are not makes other people in disadvantage then fine go ahead continue it and don't feel guilty.
It is just for some people who feel that way and reasonable enough isn't it? How can you win on that 3x multiplier for example, where it come from? It come from other people losing! Simple make it as a sin for them.

Yep few but there is. That's what every gambler must do that we don't have to give other people some headache when it comes to gambling so that we do gamble with caution and not harming other people. Doing such things that are against the law when you gamble will do really result you to commit a crime.

I think its really depend on how your going to look it. Many are doing gambling in order to earn. They are taking the risk of loosing their money, still try to earn faster than usual.
So for me I dont think it will be consider as a sin, maybe it can be consider if you cheat while you are gambling. That is the sin for me, cheating. But as long as you follow the rule on the gambling site that you do , then you are not doing a sin.

Taking the risk of losing money in gambling isn't considered as sin. I'm mentioning it many times that gambling is no sin, what the sin is when you do something that is illegal for the sake of your addiction and you are getting what you want in gambling.

Actually, to gamble is not a sin which means as long as you take control and care of everything like the responsibilities that you have on your work and family. Doing such thing should not be too much because it might ruin your financial supports. I would say somehow it might cause to become sin if you didn't take care of your responsibility like as being a breadwinner cause everything will depends in you so much better funds for family should be set as your priority.

[God Fist]

I don't really believe it's a sin to gamble since you aren't hurting anyone or taking anyone's money thus not doing any kind of harm .
Because my definition of a sin is doing something that implicates hurting someone else or yourself . And i can't consider spending money on a pleasure activity is harming yourself that's why it's not on the list of sins . One must have his own definition and not blindly follow the definition given by religion because it's simply bullshit .

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

Interesting question  . For my own opinion, gambling is ok, as long as you don't have any wrong doings or you don't harm other person. It is never a sin. Some people are doing gambling just for their leisure time or just hobby only.

Gambling is a bad thing because people in the eager of more become too much attached with it that they don’t care about the harms this thing is bringing to their social life and it completely destroys the inner peace of the gambler as well.

Also, the society is not willing to accept these gamblers due to their bad impression on society. Gambling brings the gambler to the point where there is no way left beside suicide.

In my own opinion, gambling is not a sin if you are just playing gambling for only entertainment or fun, but if you take gambling as a scheme to earn profit it is a sin because you will get greedy in playing and you might lose all of your money in gambling that amy ruin your life.

In that regard it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Thinking all the time about earthly things, like making money with gambling for example, considered sin by most religions.

And you said it right about gambling for entertainment purposes. Since it's for fun only it can't be a sin, no one forbids to have some fun from time to time. That's just my opinion, of course, I know some religious people wouldn't agree with me.

[siti25]

To me gambling is a sin, for others it may not be. Many people think gambling is not sin but not a few also think gambling is a sin. Differences exist because human thinking is different and we have every reason. Some people think gambling is a sin because of religion, or because they think gambling is wrong. Differences are common, all we need to do is respect each other's opinions.

I do respect you opinion but still i dont get your point, i dont get why it is a sin? Is it a sin because of religion? But why? Those just breaking the law and rules like those illegal gamblings casino. But those legal casinos there are still a lot of playing with it. I think gambling is just for entertainment and just to kill some time and also money but sometimes it is profitable .

On the other hand, i think that it just bad to go to casino or do gambling because there are a lot of temptation and we dont know what will likely happen to us that we could make a big sin. As my self it would be a big sin if you do gamble your money that came from other and also from a loans or debts

Well, in religion it is said that gambling leads us in the negative direction, you must know that already. And I think religion forbids gambling as well so we do not fall into it. And in truth, in gambling, the win takes money from the losers. Negative impacts also appear to many winners and losers. Winners are getting greedy, losers are getting crazy to gamble and sometimes do anything to gamble. To me it already makes sense why gambling is a sin.
Apart from a religion that prohibits gambling, I myself do not think gambling is a good thing to do, whether for fun or for profit.

[South Park]

I think it depends on your moral code or your religious beliefs but even those that are supposedly against some forms of gambling create their own gambling games, I have seen people playing lottery in the church and the church organizing lotteries so I do not think the leaders of that church can argue against someone gambling in a casino.

[Ailmand]

As long as you don't gamble to make money from gambling than it is not bad but once if you start playing for money than you will be chasing for it and in this process you can lose all your money and that will be very bad for you and your family. So gamble with self control.

No, I do not think that it is a sin. What makes it a sin is if you would actually gamble with the money you are supposed to use in other things without any trace of restraint or control. When a person is showing signs of addiction that spells the onset of when it becomes bad.

[Jedie22]

For me, yes it is a sin to gamble because we are relying on luck to win money while we should save our money rather than spending it on unsecure investment.

I got your point by I think gambling will be a sin if you think it is a sin. As long as you think that you didn't do anything bad then you're all good. Many think that if you're a gambler you're just be a no good for everyone and in everything and you just know is to waste your money in nonsense things instead of saving. Nobody can understand what a gambler's feeling unless you put your feet into their shoes.

In simple way to understand gambling is really a sin. But in my own opinion, gambling is created to have fun and bringing people closer to each other. What I mean is we get to know more people as we do gambling. There will be no problem if we gamble only for fun. It will only become a sin when we started to hurt somebody's feeling and also when we fall into addiction.

You're right mate, as long as you didn't hurt someone else its not a sin. Gambling is just a way to relax from stress moment that we have encountered like on our work problems. On other hand, gambling with addiction will create to such crimes due to gamble a huge amount of money that may cause there entire life. Self control and provide some limits to gamble so that your mind will not be crazy which can think or create possible crime that might ruin your life.

Relating with religious beliefs gambling is a sin and I respect those claims and beliefs that they are implementing with their members. But that's something different and the first time of knowing that there are people who can take it to play lottery in the church or if I can remember that is something like a raffle and yes that's also a gamble but with a purpose.

Gambling is a bad thing only if you try to earn huge amounts of money in short terms but if one gambles for his own fun and for experiencing new things in life, I don’t think that anyone should think it as a bad thing. That’s true that gamblers in eager for more forget everything except gambling even they forget their blood relations also and that’s the biggest con of gambling. When the society is not willing to accept, then definitely inner peace destroys and this is happening with gamblers all the time.

[An0nyMoose]

IT is most definitely a sin to gamble. This isn't a question, it is a fact. Gambling = losing money = bad and sinning = bad so yeah they are one and the same - gambling is sinning.

- In the social aspect, people who do not know about gambling and they follow the religion, they always think gambling is a very serious sin because gambling is the place where greed becomes the most powerful, then this greed will destroy ourselves, our family and our society, it's just the place of the lazy, do not want to do but still want money, this is a bad behavior and should be criticized. However, in our minds, modern people, we always think gambling is just entertainment, if we do not affect anyone, we will not need to feel it is a sin, this is something I think is very accurate, each one has its own religion, we can not criticize others, right and wrong are dependent on each person, we can not force others to hear our opinions. We only live once, we should do what we like, do not care about the comments of others

[marlboroza]

Actually you missed point of why gambling should be considered as sin.
You see, church see love for money as sin, so when you are gambling you tend to win more and more money and somehow this is connected to greed and love for money. So, your fact (gambling=losing money=sin) is actually wrong.

[tabas]

IT is most definitely a sin to gamble. This isn't a question, it is a fact. Gambling = losing money = bad and sinning = bad so yeah they are one and the same - gambling is sinning.

How can it be "most definitely" sin? You gamble then you lost so what's the meaning of that? I can't see that you committed a sin on it, you just bet and you lost. I'll give you an example, as it looks you are pertaining to gambling as a bad thing so if you woke up in the bad morning, you committed already a sin?

But that is gambling, even if those organizing those events have pure intentions they are still doing something that supposedly goes against their beliefs, so I'm not sure we are going to agree on that point, in my opinion if a person is an adult and earning his own money then he is free to gamble if he wishes.

In Islamic religion, gambling is prohibited. So, why are you here if you think gambling is a sin? Just passing by? Well, I think for a  certain reason, maybe gambling is a sin because it triggers your greed in which they said it's a part of seven deadly sin

[ivantrinitron]

I dont think gambling is a sin, but there are people who cant controll themself, such people might cause many sins because they are mostly loosers who become mad after they have lost, I've seen alot of those.
