Gambling: The Seven Deadly Sins

[Aikidoka]

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

[iv4n]

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.

[JL421]

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

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.

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 !

[harizen]

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:

Human nature refers to the distinguishing characteristics—including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—which humans tend to have naturally.

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.

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.

[BCTBF]

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..

[crwth]

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.
