You say 'love of money' tell that to ur billionaire n multi-millionaire pastors that own one or more private jets, own very expensive cars, mansions, universities, sec/pri schools, use watches that cost $2 million. Despite that Jesus preached about vanity. Nonsense!

Is sport betting a sin?

Can one pay tithe from betting proceeds?

Men are really funny. What makes you think the church needs that nonsense money?

The love of money is the root of all evil. Its hard to see betters that are not controlled by greed. Besides most gambleres or betters are irresponsible. Quote me.

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.
Today pastors serve money n God wella. All of them wants to be mega rich in d expence of their followers.

The Bible makes no significant mention of gambling. Yet, it does offer a number of guiding principles that reveal how God feels about gambling.
The basic nature of gambling—winning money at the
expense of others—is at odds with the Bible’s warning
to “guard against every sort of greed.” ( Luke 12:15 )
Gambling is, in fact, fueled by greed. Gaming institutions advertise big jackpots, while downplaying
the poor odds of winning, because they know that
dreams of wealth prompt players to wager large
amounts at the casinos. Rather than helping a person
guard against greed, gambling promotes the desire for
easy money.
Gambling is based on an inherently selfish goal:
winning money that other players have lost. However,
the Bible encourages a person to “keep seeking, not
his own advantage, but that of the other
person.” ( 1 Corinthians 10:24 ) And one of the Ten
Commandments states: “You must not desire . . .
anything that belongs to your fellow man.” ( Exodus
20:17 ) When a gambler sets his heart on winning, he is,
in essence, hoping that others will lose their money in
order for him to profit.
The Bible also cautions against viewing luck as a
mystic force that might bestow blessings. In ancient
Israel, there were some who lacked faith in God and
began “setting a table for the god of Good Luck.” Was
such devotion to “the god of Good Luck” acceptable to
God? No, he said to them: “You kept doing what was
bad in my eyes, and you chose what displeased me.”—
Isaiah 65:11, 12 .

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.

Does it mean every politician is corrupt? Then money itself is corrupt. Do you know that you may have used stolen money or money gotten through illegal means before? Does that make you a sinner?
The church will tell you the truth but where you think you're standing beware lest you fall, yakata.

Well for d fact u dont wait for 1960 bet to eat some other persons does. And u dont have to tag them sinners because of a legitimate way of making extra cash for themselves. D truth is that tithing is also a form of gambling!. 99.9999% of christians that tithe do so because they expect returns for God. Some have been tithing all their lives n are still poor financially, (those that loose bets and they keep paying expecting to hammer) and some claim they have been rewarded (just like a custom I knw who will give to church n take from unfortunate importers).
