very big sin

Blacks going spiritual over 'legal' things since 900BC...If I ask, what makes it a sin OP?

Let's not forget that sports betting is backed up by the law.
It has been passed into law by the Senate.
It aint a sin.

Muslims help yourselves with this
"They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In
them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is
greater than the profit. " They ask thee how much they are
to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth God
Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider-
(The Noble Quran, 2:219) "
"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of)
stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of
Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may
prosper. Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred
between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you
from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not
then abstain? (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91) "

Christians help yourselves with this
Proverbs 13:11 ESV / Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
1 Timothy 6:10 ESV For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Hebrews 13:5 ESV / Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
1 Timothy 6:9-10 ESV votes But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Matthew 6:24 ESV /“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to “get rich quick” (Proverbs 13:11; 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10). Gambling most definitely is focused on the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of quick and easy riches.

What is wrong with gambling? Gambling is a difficult issue because if it is done in moderation and only on occasion, it is a waste of money, but it is not necessarily evil. People waste money on all sorts of activities. Gambling is no more or less of a waste of money than seeing a movie (in many cases), eating an unnecessarily expensive meal, or purchasing a worthless item. At the same time, the fact that money is wasted on other things does not justify gambling. Money should not be wasted. Excess money should be saved for future needs or given to the Lord's work, not gambled away.

While the Bible does not explicitly mention gambling, it does mention events of “luck” or “chance.” As an example, casting lots is used in Leviticus to choose between the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat. Joshua cast lots to determine the allotment of land to the various tribes. Nehemiah cast lots to determine who would live inside the walls of Jerusalem. The apostles cast lots to determine the replacement for Judas. Proverbs 16:33 says, “The lot is cast in the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.”
