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.

Yeah, we certainly cannot conclude what gamblers feel since everyone will certainly know what makes them feel right or not, however, greed is the worst of all the sins of every gambler. So many people who have been gambling today and ended up turning into addicts ended up doing so as a result of their greedy nature. Gambling finds a way to tap into some part of your thoughts and if you allow it to take full control based on how you perceive it, then, you are done for.

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.

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.

Gambling can be either played for fun or profit only. There is nothing else that it can give to the players. For those who consider it as a good enjoyment in spare time, they should put limit to their fun and those who have false ideas like becoming millionaire with gambling, they need to consult a good doctor because their brain apparently is not working in the way it is supposed to.

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

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.

Every game in gambling has a bad influence or a bad effect on you and your life till play it by putting bets of different amounts. If you are playing any of the gambling game just for fun purpose or to try something new in your life, that is fine and even your family would not stop your if you visit that place for one or two times but when you will start playing to earn, then gambling becomes bad for you.

True it is forbidden by religion and true that its better to say no to a game of chance than suffer the consequences. But "job"?? Gambling is not a job. Its a mode of entertainment and for some it is a method to make some extra cash. You should never look into gambling as a way of earning because it is not so. The casino owners are the ones who are running the business and mind you its a very profitable one.

So if people enter gambling thinking it to be a source of income then they are doomed for sure.

Well, some religion do frown at gambling, but that does not make it evil or anything related to it. If you are not performing any fraud, scam or a hoax, but play a fair game, then you are good. Gambling is a game and shouldn't be considered as a job, because there is a possibility of winning and also a possibility of not winning. One shouldn't depend on it for living.

Regardless of whatever reason that is, gambling ultimately results to someone being poor or rich mentally/financially. Most of the gamblers gamble due to the hope that they are clinging to, meaning they view it as a way of alleviating their financial struggle by relying on an unpredictable means of acquiring money. Gambling creates this illusion wherein an individual is stuck on an endless loop, thinking that they can lift themselves up from their current position to a better position financially. But in the end, it only makes their situation worse, not just financially but also spiritually and mentally.

I agree. Relying your financial status on an unpredictable outcome would only result to an individual losing more and making his situation worse. If one is stuck on this problem but he/she thinks that they can lift themselves out from this situation, then there is this conundrum that is present.

The reason why some religions prohibit gambling is because they are aware of the bad effects of gambling what it can lead the person to do - potentially harmful things to their family. Religious leaders dont want the people to go to the wrong track and hence they do so.

However if you stop a person from doing something their curiosity will rise and thus this often leads to people daring to gamble. What should be done is people educated properly about the bad effects and hope that it has some effect on their minds.

I agree with the point  that you made and relations because it is definitely one of the reasons why People help other people to stop gambling and that’s the outcome that they are going to get if they get addicted. It’s better to stop the cause then have a remedy when it has already started. I agree that properly educated people have better ways to cope up with the changes if ever but Sometimes it doesn’t work.

I don't really care about the things that religions tell us to do or not to do. They are just a set of rules, like the law, but unlike the law you're choosing to obey them and aren't forced to do so. I'm not religious and I don't follow their rules. I have my own, they're called ethics. Gambling is completely fine according to those rules.

[motoprose]

Personal preference is what gambling is all about.
When it comes down to it.
You are the one wagering with your money not somebody elses so you are taking your destiny in your own hands and should not blame it on sins or fictional mumbo jumbo.

I do not know why people are bring religion into this conversation because gambling should not have anything to do with it.

[TheKeyLongThumbI]

Gambling is not all about sinning. It depends on the person on how they treat it. For me, it's an entertainment where winning is just a bonus. You just test on how lucky you are or you just want to kill time.

[just_Alice]

I agree with you, a lot of people say it's a sin. But I think everything that is related to money is a sin. Think about trading and investing? Same there: greed and wrath. And even when one is dealing with money in a daily life he faces the same problems. The only way out is just not to take money that seriously and consider it as a game.

Its your choice what you want to do in life and definitely your own choice if you want to gamble or not. However there is something called experience and knowledge about things - those who have gambled know that in the long run gambling only leads to profit for the house and not the player. Mainly these people are the ones who advice other novice/less experienced people about the bad effects of gambling.

You dont need to think of this as religious stuff. There are atheists too and then there are people who are addicted gamblers and those who detest gambling.

There are other forms of entertainment without involving money. Killing time?  That's the lamest excuses if you are going to gamble. In my view, the argument of gambling is a sin as per religion can be trace back in the Bible. However, as a human being we still have a choice to make, and even it is against your religion, if you see no problem gambling then I don't consider it committing a sin.

It's up to us, we know what's the effect of gambling, but if you still chooses to do so then its your fault. But please stop with the gambling is a sin because of religion argument here.

[Aikidoka]

Guys, my thread is not about the effects of gambling... It is about the seven deadly sins which I consider to be part of the gambler. Plus, religion has nothing to do with the seven deadly sins. And speaking of religion, especially Islam, it does not forbid gambling because of the sins, but simply because you need to make efforts to gain money, not just take people's money with zero efforts. That is from the perspective of Islam.

[Glorious04]

You said it right dude. That is why in some religions gambling is considered a sin. Gambling it addicted can also lead to thief, and lies. If they are too addicted and they ran out of resources but still want to continue so the tendency is they will steal other people’s money. They will also lie and invent stories just to get people’s sympathy and get money.

The dilemma is, no one is ready to listen to you. Once I ask someone who gambles to quit that game for the sake of his family, he start abusing me. He thinks I am more interested in his family than him but I was really shocked at him. The way he was praising gambling and continuously claiming of gambling as best source of income, I was really shocked and astonished.

There will be no wonder with his behavior and imaginations. Most addicted gamblers do not fulfill their family responsibilities which makes them thinking like that. Until they themselves realize the actual dangers and sins of gambling, there will be no possibilities for them to come out from gambling.

The sad part is, when they are realizing, probably they might have nothing left. It means sometime their family members also would have left them as they do fail in each and every aspects of normal human being. Gambling is good when it is within some limits. But most gamblers starts that way but over time, they do increase their limits and finally get addicted. Once addicted their life starts ruining.

Well now that i think about it, it does indeed make sense, all the deadly sins are in fact a part of an addicted gambler's personality, Greed,Pride, Envy, Wrath, Gluttony Sloth, and most of all Lust, the desire for money and power is what drives a gambler the most, and they all explain the reason behind an addicted gambler's actions and behaviors.
