Whizzdom:


Depositing your money in the bank is not gambling.
Gambling is when you stake your money or something of value to play a game, which in the end, you may lose (lose all the money) or win.
But when you deposit your money in the bank, you are not losing the money if interest is not added to it.

if that's the case, why is UBA Bank deducting my money on a monthly basis from my ordinary savings account??

You need to understand that gamble didn't start today but right from the time of the disciples of Jesus. The bible says in-order for them to chose Judas replacement, prayed and gambled by casting lot (throwing dice) and the lot (dice) fell on Matthias. The root word for lot is lottery and the bible says the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous. Where does the wicked laid their wealth? The store it in the casinos, nairabet, state lottery etc; God wants to transfer their wealth to the believers and the only way a believer can access it is by playing these things after being faithful with their tithe to God and watch how the holy one of Israel will bless you one day after finding you faithful with the little he has given you.

And the lord holla to the church "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails, they might receive you into the eternal dwellings." Luke 16:9

My sister needs to see this, gambling is slowly taking control over her

Nice write up.. I like the way its organised, research put into it and the way it's presented; but it will not go down well with most people. That am sure of .

However, if u must bet, gauge ur pocket and wager for fun and always Remember the first guide to it... "Always bet what u will afford to lose"

keep it together. PEPs.

Whizzdom:
OP, nice write up, it is very educative.

Gambling is not even meant for anybody whether rich or poor. Gambling remits the spirit of uncontendment into the life of people, you always want more, more money, which in the end will make that person poor and confused.

I used to wonder whenever I pass a place where people bet and saw youths gambling their money away, what I wonder about is; How can you predict a match that as never happened? when you are not God. It is like predicting the future, when you dont even know what wil happen to you as at that moment.

God will deliver us from greed.

All things are lawful but not all things are expedient. Gambling is not a cool but thst doesn't make it evil.

Gambling can be addictive, yes but those bible quotes up there has nothing to do with gambling? if they are then I see no reason why I should invest in stocks and expect higher returns, I should be contented with my money and not invest at all.... Let nobody deceive you, no one is ever contented with what he/she has, even Carlos slim is still looking for ways to add to his massive wealth..

in Nigeria, banking system is gambling. what happens when the bank folds up?nobody to run to, not even the court. you talked about 'interest ', how much interest will be yielded in a soccer bet for it to be called gambling?

GAMBLING, to me it's just a mindset. greed makes people gamble. people pay to play games (with no returns), I mean other games like In an amusement park or so. the reason is because they luv themselves winning in decisions they make.

I see soccer bet as one of such, I have lost over 400k in it, guess what... I started with just 1,500naira.
I feel nothing about the loss cos it has also helped me solved what the FG can NEVER solve for me, 'school fees '!

were in the bible... did they say gamble is a sin

mhisbliss:
[size=16pt]Bad effects of gambling & why its a sin[/size]
The bible did not condemn gambling directly but it said alot of things that makes gambling a sin, am not conversant with those bible verses but i know some verses and what it says, some of those verses are

Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.

Hebrews 13:5
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.”

Ecclesiastes 5:10
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.

1 Timothy 6:9
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.

Ephesians 4:28
Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

Proverbs 28:22
A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.

I wouldn't get married to one, wether part time or full time, and I'm sure most people wont either.

Bad influence:
It expose you to bad and irresponsible people who have no future prospects other than gambling untill they suddenly become millionaires, they'll keep advising you not to quit gambling that Tommorow will be your turn and you keep going deeper until you become addicted

Its hard to raise a family with gambling:
Most people who are gamblers have dysfunctional families, instability, poor standard of living, little or no financial progress etc, ladies never get married to a gambler.

Addiction:
this is somehow similar to drug addiction, in the sense that whenever its time to gamble and you don't have the resources to gamble, you'd become restless, you start visualizing the best outcome if you take a risk and gamble, then you'd borrow or sell whatever you have just to gamble, thier clothes, mobile phone, cars, heck they can even sell thier wife. when you loose you start reflecting that you've been foolish all the while and if you win you will use it to gamble again and the bookies will collect it back.

its a waste of productive time:
The dedication gamblers put into what they do is worthy of applause, they scrutinize check and double check and put all time and effort in it only to loose woefully like they didn't put any effort into it, they end up in disbelief only to bounce back afterwards and resume thier gambling.

Society frowns at it:
gambling is not a job, only those who own the bookies make the profit, and they make it off you the gamblers, like the name implies its gambling, you invest in it but you're not certain if you will have returns or not, its shady, i personally see full time gamblers as unserious. Its a shady business so invest in something you can get sure profits from.

It instills the spirit of greed in people: greed is the mechanism the bookies employ to make sure gamblers keep loosing and only few get away with thier money the rest loose because of greed, those who play sports betting can relate to this, they introduced the odds system, the easy outcomes has little odds which brings little returns, but since the greed is there you will choose more of it to accumulate odds or choose a dangerous outcome with little chance of winning and play in faith, and 90% loose because of such cunning machinations.

It draws you away from God:
the only thing on your mind will be the thoughts of how awesome your life will be when you win because you have faith that one day you'll hit it big so you keep playing until you hit bankruptcy, believe me if you put all that faith in God he will reach out, his ways are surer than bet9ja.

It makes people to sink into debt or go bankrupt:
If you have a business no matter how its progressing don't go into gambling because that would be the death of your business, imagine you keep taking from something without replacement everytime, eventually it dries up because its a sure thing the ratio of loss is higher than gains in every instance.

It leads to depression and emotional anxiety:
this is common among those who is still awaiting the outcome of thier bet and those who keep loosing untill they felt like they're the mayors of looserville, then you hear the later saying the bookies are using juju and the former praying God make my ticket nor cut.

[size=14pt]My advice to gamblers and intending gamblers:[/size]

Its for the rich and emotionally strong people:
Am not judging, but dont go into gambling if you're clingy and emotional, its for those who can afford to loose, you see all the people in casinos gambling? Gambling is a fun thing to them, They can afford to loose because they're already rich, they stake what they can afford to loose without batting an eyelid, but you that intend to become rich from it ends up staking what you should have saved and when you loose you become suicidal and emotional.

Don't make it your profession:
do something with your life that is guaranteed to bring returns, dont base your life on heresay of people who won and think that is also your fate, we have different stories to tell and no two people will tell exact stories in life.

Don't go into gambling at all:
to avoid addiction, if you're in, its hard to get out, especially students its dangerous because one day you might use your school fees without considering how you got it and how important it is.

But entrepreneurship is gambling?

Gambling is a great sin in islam
Allah says : " 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.” [Quran 5:90]

Gambling is mentioned in the Quran, alongside drinking alcohol as an abomination, a sin, and a grave harm to mankind. It was made clear that prosperity does not come through gambling. Gambling, among many other things, causes families to break, societies to suffer, and the economy to deteriorate, damaging the ethical foundation of any decent society.

Yer BBM pin??

Op see list containing evidence of your ignorance

Lie!!!
One story in the Bible said that when Satan visited HeavenlyBet, God struck a wager with him over Job.

God: (eyes sparkling with excitement) Luciferous, Have you seen this game, his name is Job. I bet you he wouldn't fail me.

Satan: (laughs hysterically) Are you sure? Maybe you've forgotten my history so soon.

God: (visibly annoyed) Wanna bet?

Satan: (glanced through the heavenly window for some moments to watch Job inspecting his large farmlands, while tapping the golden frames of the heavenly window thoughtfully) Alright, I'm in!

You know the rest...

Moral lessons :

If gambling was so bad, God wouldn't have gotten involved.

Remember everything he does is good

So be it.

But on a serious note, if you say sportbet is sin then what stock market trade, forex trade, deposit for interest etc.
