Gambling: The Seven Deadly Sins

[marlboroza]

Well, there was one topic "is gambling a sin", so this is something similar. While gambling itself isn't sin it could lead to sins, gamblers need to be responsible, that's it.

Wow, can't believe you are triggered. Calm down, bro, a nerve might explode.

That is nothing. I opened topic some time ago and asked something like "why everyone is gambling for fun and no one to win money" and I have to tell you I've never seen anyone so pissed about it like this guy, he has responded the same way like he did it here.

3- what are your intentions? . Well, I want to be the most powerful Jedi ever.

Hilarious. +1 for this.

Gambling is part of life, but if you gamble Bitcoin means you want to take the risk it's because gambling can give you two option. Be poor or be rich. Waste your money in gambling without even thinking your needs then your done, but gambling with wise decision then your okay with it. We cannot just conclude what gamblers feel, it always depends to what we want to do. Don't gamble with shitcoins always gamble with pure one.

You can live a normal life and get rich without gambling. It can make you either poor or rich.

then what do you mean? does opening company to get rich? if yes, I guess that too gambling. because opening the company was the same as gambling with the hope that the capital can be re-issued and can benefit. because if the business you open fails. it will make you lose. and in conclusion it is also a gambling

Oh please! Why do we even get to talk like this sometimes? These two should never be placed on the same level. When you are opening a company, you have one sole purpose, which is to use your idea and skills to make profit and even though things may not turn out as you want, it would be rare not to make it work if you have quality skills and an idea that can sell.

However, in gambling, this is a totally different case entirely, whereas you have no idea, clueless as f**k, no skills and all you have is luck, and in that case, you are really prone to losing everything unless you are just some very strange lucky man and even at that you have also been able to dish yourself some brains in the process.

Maybe he is a gambling addict, so he likes making a company (maybe he means to make a business because the company is too broad) like it's gambling. Logically gambling and making the company very much different, such as land and sky is too much to compare it.

Making a company needs special planning, while gambling just needs a capital to bet on. Making a company needs special skills while gambling just needs luck (I have not found a specific strategy to win any gambling) only. Making a company needs a lot of consideration while gambling just needs greed.

Yeah, he i think he was right because when you are risking it means you have to choose and it is considered as gamble. Not every gambling is a bad influence or habit it is just how you see it. By having a perception you can always look different on so many things so i guess gambling is always a part of our life.

People who are experiencing these things are only people who are going to the casinos for the purpose of earning money. If you are a gambler and you are gambling for entertainment, you don't expect to win or lose but you expect to have a good time. You do not expect to earn money from it as just spending your time in a casino is enough value for your money. We can view this in different ways but going to a casino is really not a sin even if you fall into your explanation as not all gamblers want to earn money, some even view it as a bonus of having a fun time in a casino.

That is the problem.
Some people do not separate these two from each other.
Entertainment purposes or for solely earning money. Because if it is the latter then they will undoubtedly end up losing everything because as everyone here knows, gambling is a game of chances and to land a profit you have to be extremely lucky.
If they end up with nothing and bust they will view gambling as a sin because it leads them to a road they would rather not be in which could be a sort of hell for them.

Deadly sins are true and concrete if we may think of it but also we have our own perspective and belief in life, maybe you look gambling as a tool for evilness but if we take a closer look to 'why' then we can say that it's because of money and we all know the saying 'money is the root of all evils'

Most of the people that into gambling always tell other people that they are doing it just for entertainment but technically they really want to earn money from it, both angle has a point so it's just how we think of it.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I'm not sure those original sins are related to gambling.  I think most people who start out gambling are just looking for fun, and not for a better life, easy money, or any of that.  It's an escape, just like drinking booze is at first.  Then, given enough time at the casino it becomes harder to live life without gambling.

For myself, gambling has always been just something fun, a pastime.  I wouldn't say I've reached the point where it's problematic, and I'm hoping it never does.

[cryptoalfs76]

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.

Will,thats not true ,that gambler needs an easy money,because this is not also an easy task or work of how to winning in gambling games in a good way.actually according to this statement that gambling is part of the seven deadly sin thats belong in sloth and pride that supposedly is not true,because the  the sinful of the man is only belongs to its self behavior and not belong's the things he would doing,because gambling is only an instrument an part of enjoyment and not to overtake your pride and power to your co person.

I agree, things are depend on the perspective of the viewers and how they used that thing. It just became bad when you got addict on it where you are in a point that you are greedy to win a huge amount but forget that you already losing your money. You must be responsible when you enter the world of gambling and must have a self control.

Nope, his points and explanation are all accurate. He is just explaining the general behavior of men when gambling and match it up the seven deadly sins which I strongly agree since I experienced this kind of behavior when I'm playing. People are usually playing gambling for fun and also to have a fast profit since you will not gain 100% + profit in a seconds in investment or in your job.

And that is really what perturbs me a lot as to why someone would sit in their right mind and say the only thing they want to do with their life is never to reason, come up with ideas to create investments and all they want to keep doing is finding how to get lucky.

Even if they eventually get lucky, it is not like they always do anything tangible with the winning as their greed always make them to throw it all away back in gambling. With the way people think on this forum, I guess it is about time I started considering owning a gambling platform myself.

The fact that people think that gambling is made as a part of life away to make living, is what makes them fall to their greed, gambling shouldn't be a thing that you must do, it is something that kind you want to do when you have some extra money, it was meant as an entertainment not as job, because otherwise it will become an addiction and causes you as far as losing all your money.

Right.But still lot of people are doing gambling the wrong way.Even if they have less amount of money to support to the family's needs,they will resort it to gambling hoping the amount will be doubled or tripled in just a day.And once they lose,it will result to anger or wrath.I believe all kinds of people have these different negative traits,it's just that others are able to control their emotions rather than bargaining them.

Well, with the accordance to christian teaching the seven deadly sins are the cardinal sin which includes greed,pride,lust,gluttony,envy,wrath and sloth and so if we relate it to gambling then surely there is something that can link to those seven deadly sins much more on greed because gamblers will often to be greedy, and the lust of aiming more and more money or even sloth because mostly gamblers will nothing have to do just to gamble and they forget any other responsibility for their love one's.

Gambling has never been part of life. You can live a normal life and get rich without gambling. It can make you either poor or rich. But it is going to be your choice whether to be poor or rich because you can gamble and be aware of your limits. Gambling can teach you lots of things, but once you are addicted to it, it will turn you to the dark side, and it will be hard to get out of it. And by the way, what do you mean by shitcoin and pure one?

There is never a choice for the gambler. He can wish to win but he cannot choose to win. Gambling is a luck dependent game and most of the times, the house has edge over his players so it is almost impossible to defeat luck and house at the same time. This game has destroyed happy families. One must never try it at the first place because it is a way too addictive.

I think nothing is ever really a choice even if it's only a minut detail of yourself you can never really be sure of anything. Knowing that gambling is a luck dependent game like you said, it's just going to be a chance for you to really win and there's nothing you can do about the but prepare and limit yourself.

I used to quote this that mostly humans are slaves to their desires and temptations. These are also very easy to manipulate. Mostly gamblers are weak at controlling their emotions and no one can ever understand himself well. Gambling should be voided no matter how much appealing it is because the end results are a way too horrible for having some fun or taking a risk.

Gambling is just a game and telling should be avoided isnt really proper either yet we do still need some enjoyment thats why we do tend to play gamble but the risk do only happen when you are already committing mistakes due to your emotion and the feeling of getting greedy because gambling do always talk about money and people do love money this is why people do fall into the pit of addiction which will really be the main reason why we do mess up in the end.

I believe that is just a way certain people always console themselves, by thinking they can just keep gambling their way through out life. Basically it is a human nature like for engaging into something unnecessary, they all need some reasons. By consoling themselves, they are actually cheating them themselves. Yes, nothing more than that.

You are certainly right as gambling should never be perceived to be part of life, and it is a life that each and every one who gambles has decided to choose and few people are always there trying to control this nature so it does not get out of hand while a lot of people always end up screwing up badly.

Yes, gambling is a choice as far as I am too concerned but a part or way of life is a big NO !

[wuvdoll]

Gambling is just a game. Just for fun and make their own selves a relaxation. But if you don't know what it means and how to manipulate it to your own, or how to handle your self from this addiction, it's not a good for a self relaxation.. It's called addiction and losing money for nothing. And it's called sins.

I really do wish a lot of people understand this and they do not end up turning to screw themselves up by having a totally different mindset in the long run. The problem with certain people is that they expect so much from gambling which is the reason why I have seen some people here comparing gambling to opening of companies. It is really funny where some people always end up getting that sort of mindset from which is the reason we have so many insane gamblers today than sane ones.

Human are greedy creature and it's always will be. All we can do is just how to control it before it's over-capacity or got addicted.
Family support and religion play the main role !

Once they win, they have a pride , it's also dangerous if they can't control it.
I'm ever win 0.09 but when I keep play it, I loss it all eventually !

No doubt that man is born greedy by his birth and it’s a natural thing and no one can do anything to stop it. The only thing that one can do to remove his greed is to control himself and build some patience in him that one day he will get everything he wants, just he needs is a little bit hard work. Family’s support will make you more intense gambler, you should say that family’s opposition; that’s the right word.

Basically, man becomes like that because of the possibility of having a personal benefit. Being able to have profit relied on the person's interest because if something would be gained from the action that you are going to do, for this case, it's greediness in gambling, you would gain winnings but only if you win. It's different on other stuff like helping someone out.
