Asmodeus is the name of the demon behind betting. He is the prince of demons in hell.
Asmodeus represents lusts.
Like every other demons, his purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.
By the grace of God, I will be exposing its work of darkness here.

This demon lures people into his control. The moment he gets anyone under his control, the person is as good as 'finished' because he will continue to take up everything you possess and then invite other demons to destroy other parts of your life.

Many people started to bet just for the fun of it. You don't mind then if you lose or not. You just wanted to have fun. Then after many stakings, you then realised you can make a living on betting. You begin to calculate how much you could make if you place bets for a certain period of time.
Then you draft out the plan and it looks so achievable. You place the first bet, it BOOMS!, the happy hormone triggers. You try again, you win again. Then a third time, you lose.
You go back to the drawing board and restrategise.
You write out another draft of a new strategy.
This is how you will be trying every known strategy that you know everytime a strategy fails not knowing that no strategy works unless you dine with the devil himself.

Expose

You begin to have friends of like minds, punters, and bettors. You follow up on predictions online.
Liverpool to beat Fulham, Chelsea to score 1st half, West ham win or draw etc are those things that will fill your mind. You hardly concentrate on other things at this stage.
This stage is when the demon takes control of the mind.
Once demons take control of the mind of a person, he controls the person.
You don't do your work well; you hardly sleep well, your countenance changes. When people look at your face, they will ask you what you are thinking about.

Many times on this forum, you will read how betting has ruined people. That's the purpose of this demon, to ruin. He is very wicked. He keeps tempting you even when you don't have money. He will tell you to borrow, steal, lie to get money.
You could bet with money given to you to hold.
The aim is to take everything and even what you don't have.
The demon wants people to be useless. He wants marriages to fail. He wants men to lose their rights. He wants men to be useless. He wants children to be wayward.
When these things happen, the demon is happy.

Don't be decieved, this demon have agents here on this earth. They are owners of these companies. They sponsor events and sports tournaments.
They make it nice to the ears and to the eyes. They make easy for anyone to afford it. The truth is that they want you to start somewhere. You could start with #100 and in less than a year, you
could gamble away #1,000,000. They don't even mind giving you bonus.

Some of these agents go about advocating for gambling. Telling people there is nothing wrong in it. They fight against those who preach against it. They tell you it was designed to help the poor.

There are some agents whose work is to tell people how they are making it on betting. How betting is helping them. Some will tell you that it is because you don't know the tricks. It is all lies.
There is nothing like sure odds. Even 1.00000001 odd is not sure. So don't heed to people's temptations.

Can you be free from this demon? The answer is yes. The surest is through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. With simple sincere prayers, the demonic hold over the person is broken off and the person is set free. You will even begin to hate it passionately the moment the demon leaves such a person.

Let us read from others.

Read people's comments on gambling
This is from a person named Debbie
"Debbie is a self-admitted gambler who fears her 20-year addiction could ruin her family and her life.

"I'm addicted to gambling, and it has taken over my life ... I walk through a casino door and I'm not myself anymore. I become obsessed. It's like a demonic feeling ... I'm not Debbie in there. I don't know how to explain it. I can't control myself,"

On everything betting platform, they tell you to gamble responsibly. If you don't want to be responsible for your actions, just blame the devil or a demon for it. But if you gambled and won a 40m, na God. Abeg rest

The evils caused by betting is so enormous that you will imagine if this bet can be the reason for this.
The truth is that so many people underestimate this demon and you know what? He loves to be underestimated. He loves to be unnoticed. That's why some people don't believe there is anything called demon or devil.
As evil as this betting is it will amaze you to see that countries still legalise it. The people in the authorities can easily be influenced by this demon. He can gets his way into anywhere even in the church. Even among pastors. Even among strong born again, holy ghost baptised believers.
He uses his weapon, lust. Both young and old; male and female; believers and non believers are being influenced.
The victory is in Christ Jesus

The betting company tells you to bet responsibly. Just like the tobacco making company will tell you smokers are liable to die young. The alcohol producing company will tell you drink responsibly. The condom producing company will advise you that abstinence is best.
Do all these advises stop one from indulging into the act? They know that all they need you to do is to have a taste. From tasting, you sip. From sipping, you drink. From drinking, you get drunk.
Same thing with drug addictions. The first taste usually triggers the desire to have more.
The devil means no well for you. Be warned

No matter how much you tell someone that fire burns and it hurts, they will still go ahead to get burnt.
There are some you will warn about the danger of a thing, they will avoid the thing.
My message is to everyone. The same words that does not profit one will profit another. Some will read and be wiser, but the foolish will go ahead and be destroyed.
If you are that person that is tired of this gambling demon, you can follow this steps and you will be free. I can also pray with you if you want.
1. Confess your sins before God. Ask Him to forgive you.
2. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life.
3. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ
4. Start living for Jesus Christ.

If you need prayer points, you can ask me

The money some people can use to start up a business, buy a car; buy a piece of land; build a house; etc, have been wasted on betting.

Some have used money meant for school fees, house rent, feeding to bet and the money is all gone.

Some refuse to help people who need the money. They rather squander it on betting.
Some refuse to give tithe and offering. They instead place a bet with it.

Some fathers will receive salaries and waste the money on betting without thinking of how the family will survive the month.
You think it is just an addiction? It is this deadly demon working with the spirit of greed in you to perpetrate this evil.
You can be free through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ

Is it a sin to own a bet shop? Can betting lead one to hell, especially when one is betting with his own hard earn money?

ojaysam25:

Is it a sin to own a bet shop? Can betting lead one to hell, especially when one is betting with his own hard earn money?

Yes. As a bet shop owner, you support the work of Satan by impoverishing the people.
If you run an enterprise where people are committing suicide, going bankrupt, failing marriages, making youths useless etc. Will you call that a good business?
Betting is not from God. It is not even a business and so any business around it is not a business from God. Therefore, it is a sin and it would definitely take one to hell. There are decent businesses one can do.
People open bet shops because it is 'very profitable' What makes it so is the sin nature of it. Whatever is sinful, there is bound to be lots of patronage

He no go better for you and your Asmodeus!

When someone loses all his resources on gambling, he goes into sober reflection. He begins to promise and swear he will never gamble again. He starts recounting. Asking for forgiveness from people. Deactivating apps and stop visiting bet shops.
You think such a person will not gamble again? The truth is that the demon is still there. You will continue to bet so long the demon is still in you. You have to cast him out after you have detached yourself from those things that brings in the temptations.
Until you cast out this demon, you are still under his watch. He will monitor until you have another money, then the temptations will come again.
Note
It is the devil that tempts. When you feel strong urge to go into sin, it means there is presence of demons.

What makes it a sin. When one did not cheat or defraud the other. Some has also benefited from gambling. I have seen cases where lots of people receive games from Divine dream and won big.

Hmmm, games through divine dream. God does not operate that way. People get demonic dreams and they call it divine.
How is the money that is used to run the shop and maintain the bet companies gotten?
It is gotten from the many people whose marriages have crashed due to losses from betting.
It is gotten from those who committed suicide due to losses from betting.
It is gotten from people who have become emotionally disturbed due to losses from betting.
People that you say they benefited from betting. This means they benefited from the pains and anguish of people.
Those who really benefits are the betting companies. The system is programmed for you to lose. It was not programmed for you to win. Everyone eventually becomes a loser including those you say are benefiting.

Now, let's look at what those you claim benefits from betting do with the benefits.
Benefits are spent on more harmful habits like sex, alcohol, drugs and more bets.
Will you call this benefit?

When you see how someone who won one million through betting lives, a person who recieves #20k per month and manages it well lives better than them.
Rewards from betting is a reward that is not real. 1 million naira with a eyes full of greed and false hopes is nothing to those who possess it. However, 10,000 naira with contentment is wealth to those who possesses it.
The demon behind it will not make you see all these. The people are blinded.

Those who have tried going into betting for profit have got their fingers burnt.
Betting is a venture that doesn't leave those who venture into the same.
They were once happy. They are now sad
They were once rich.They are now poor
They were once organised. They are now people with disorders.
The demon behind betting is wicked and will keep making the victim miserable until suicide thoughts begins to come.

This man is speaking raw truth

From betting to suicidal thoughts.
Betting is capable of destroying a person's moral life. It doesn't matter the discipline you had as a child or the religious training you had.
It can make you a terrible thief
It can make you a pathetic liar.
It can make you a murderer.
It can make you a fornicator.
It can make you a masturbator.
It can make you wicked.
It can make you greedy and selfish

Home to win or draw -1X...odd 1.10
Draw or away 2X...odd 1.2
Over 1.5...odd 1.12
Under 3.5...odd 1.10
VIP odds
And so on.
If you think you will win because the odds are small or because you think the match is fixed, you decieve yourself.
Recently someone was with some millions in his account that does not belong to him. He was tempted to use some of the money on bet.
I don't know if he fell to the temptation or not.
For such person, this is what will happen.
He might eventually win, but his peace will be lost. He might have high blood pressure. He might have a heart attack. He would be emotionally tensed and distressed.
It might affect the person psychologically.

Now what if the person loses.
The person might not forgive himself.
He might start having suicidal thoughts.
He is now in dept.
He begins to pay for what he didn't enjoy.
People will mock him.
Friends might leave him.
The owner of the money will not trust him again.
His health will be at risk
So in either ways. Whether you win the bet or lose the bet, you ending up losing something.
The choice is yours.
Jesus Christ is the way out.

Manchester city Vs Borussia Dortmund

Chelsea vs Salzburg

These teams will be playing tonight.

You know what?
People are already tensed emotionally.
Many will lose money
Some have borrowed to place bet on this teams.
People might die by suicide, heart failure or other ways.
People will become ill.
People will be mocked
People will go into depts

My people be wise. Run to Jesus Christ now and be saved.

(rolls eyes) Here we go again.

You need to tell my friend that built his house from many bet9ja winnings this. You'd give him a good laugh, I can assure you.

HedwigesMaduro:

Not disputing.
He won many bet9ja bets and built his house.
If only you understand what that means.
He didn't win the company's money, rather it is other people's money they have lost. These money could be
1. Stolen.
2. Money for the upkeep of family
3. Children's school fees
4. House rents
I know you will say how is that your business. I tell you the truth, the whole system makes every participant guilty in a way.
Most of the money spent on bet are money gotten from evil ways. That's what your friend used to build his house.
For the fact he is prospering through gambling means that the devil intends destroying him without him repenting. I sorry for your friend.

God can be involved in making sure you lose your bet. He does that so you can be free. If you continue to win, it means you are never going to stop and that means the person is at risk of eternal damnation.
Some people call God to help them to win their bets. Some pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
The truth is that God doesn't want you to win the bet and also spend the money on yourself. God doesn't answer prayers that has to do with gambling. God wants us to prosper. He wants us to prosper in legitimate ways so when we share testimonies, people can be blessed.
Gambling/betting is a social vice and very harmful. Why would God want to bless you through that means. It is like praying to God to bless your prostituting business or cocaine pushing business and we are expecting God to hear.
