blym4real:It seems you've made a choice already. Otherwise I don't see how gaining from gambling is similar to gaining from a boss' sack. |

smoothpapuzy: How many times do people make such winnings? Do you know that gambling is addictive and has destroyed homes and families? I am a muslim and the ruling for us is clear: O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?

It is not a sin for an adult who is mature enough to understand the pros and cons of gambling to engage in it.gambling can actually serve as one's legitimate source of income. It is only bad and becomes a sin when it is done excessively and indescriminately as too much of everything is bad. Another case where gambling becomes a sin is when it is being done by a minor who doesn't have the psychological back bone to withstand the effects of gambling as this can lead him into stealing and other social vices. Conclusively,gambling is not a sin when an adult who makes his own money,who understands the implication of the activity and also ready to abide by its rule engages in it.it becomes a sin when he allows it to lead him into doing negative things. |

I'd be as blunt as i can, anything associated with uncleanliness/iniquity is a sin so gambling is unarguably a sin. Stay away from it and be just in all your ways then God will crown your efforts with success 3 Likes |

Game Let me educate some of us (nairalanders) that have little or no idea on this betting tingy. Life is gambling. Work is gambling, Falling in love/dating these are all gambling. Almost everything we indulge into happens to be gambling. Now as a graduate, university, HND etc...you are entitled to using your head in all you do. My story! I earn 40k in my present work place, I live with friends...Lagos isn't friendly with transportation, feeding etc. So, I put 100/200..and I earn 60k in two days with loads of data usage/time consumption/ maximum calculations etc.. and someone is saying IT'S a SIN Send your congratulatory messages... I won yesterday again and again. 1 Like |

[b][/b] Gambling is not explicitly mentioned in the bible but the truth is that there is this inner voice in you that tells you when something is not morally good when you do it including gambling. You and I knows what that inner voice is. For me all I know is that people who are morally good or wants to be morally good don't gamble. |
Re: Is It A Sin To Bet? by BlackLeopard(m): 5:54am On Mar 22, 2015 |
From religious perspective, anything that is worldly could be understood as a sin. If you gamble instead of praying, it's a sin. If it leads to hurting people, it's a sin. Cause -> effect. So I would worry less about if it's a sin, more about how it will affect your life, and your family, and your community. God can't act through you if you're lost, brother. Gotta pay attention to God within more than scriptures on this and that. |

tbaba1234: If you need music so much and spend all the money on new one? If you need music from countries it's hard to get? If you travel a lot just for gigs? If you make music and put all da moneyz on equipment while listening to others? If you _____ ... thousands ifs. All I'm saying measure in everything, every activity of life can lead to ruining that life in excess. |

Nothing is a sin unless you are a sin .....If you start having that thought that is a sin then it is. I have searched the scripture am yet to see a verse about gambling . Everything should be done moderately ....I will only see it as a vice if it is done excessively. 1 Like 1 Share |

In the bible, there were prophets. They prophesized, made Forecasts. Semantics. Betting is just a simple case of mathematical predictions. You get paid for making the right predictions. You win, you're a genius. You lose, you've been robbed. Betting becomes a sin when it becomes addictive. |
