First of all what is gambling?

Google search will tell you that:

1. Gambling is a game of chance for money bet

2, take risky action in the hope of a desired result, this second definition gives examples using gambling is stated like 'he was gambling on the success of his sattelite TV channel'

My point here is clear and simple looking from the second definition, the entire life is a gambling itself.

U went to set up a business with the hope people will patronise you, that is gambling, what if people do not patronise you.

Any investment with the hope of getting gains is a gambling, gambling is taking risk.

Even bible encourage gambling in Ecclessiastes 11 vs 4.

All investment we do it is hope to turn out good, which is the same as gambling, people that gamble also hope that their expectations turns out too and that is why I said "life is a gamble."

I think it's not a sin. After all, I feel lucky and ready for a big win! Seeking recommendations for a reputable online casino that offers a wide variety of games and is renowned for turning players into winners.

Have you been searching for a trustworthy casino but haven't had any luck? I know the feeling all too well. For what seems like forever, I've been on the hunt for a reputable gambling site that I can rely on. But after countless disappointments, I was ready to throw in the towel. That is until I stumbled upon https://uptownpokies-casino.com/ - Let me tell you, everything changed from that point on. This online casino has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. The games are top-notch, the customer service is excellent, and the payouts are prompt and hassle-free. Without a doubt, this is hands down the best gambling site I have ever come across.

What brings you pleasure? Maybe you like extreme sports? Or do you bet on jumps or races? Each person should have his own hobby, which helps to cheer up. For me, for example, this is casino slots empire . And I play not for the sake of a monetary reward, but only for the sake of the gameplay. This gives me self -confidence when I win. And if I lost, I get even greater motivation to correct my mistakes.

It is wrong to compare gambling with business
Gambling is fueled by greed
Bible condemn it
Greedy people will not inherit God's kingdom

If you're confused on what is right or wrong
Here's a principle
Ask yourself
'Will Jesus do this if he were around today?'
If your answer is strongly yes, it is OK
If you have doubts, it's likely not OK or you need to do further research

There is a huge difference between gambling and involving oneself in a profitable or service rendering business. They are not the same. You can whatsapp me on 08167469103 for us to discuss more on it.

Anything that is not of faith is a sin.
Romans 14:23

The devil controls gambling.. Some people even pray to God to win bets. Funny people. God is not in support of gambling.

Business is not gambling.

Business involves exchange with both parties benefitting.
In Gambling, when you win, others lose and when you lose, others win.

Gambling is driven by greed. Trying to win money that is not yours.

Imagine the many ills caused by betting everyday. Suicide, depression, debts, irresponsibilities and many more.

Go to betting houses, look at the people present there. You will see how destinies are being destroyed.
