Please, I need the opinion of only mature Christians. I had some discussions with people in the morning. I discovered some of them, who I revered as Born Again were involved in Sports betting. So, apert from personal consecrations, should a serious Born Again Christian be involved in betting?

No

Ask them to give you any instance in the scripture either in parables or otherwise where gambling was admonished.
Gambling as a believer will make your heart hardened towards the things of God. Is God a gambler? The truth is that gambling can never, will never make you řich or happy because it has no foundation. You can't just go from zero to 100km/h without crashing your head. They may win but that money will bring nothing but sorrow and misery to them even without them knowing. I was once into gambling some years back so am telling you out of experience and also biblically. If they really know God, they wouldn't be expecting God to bless them through gambling because it's nowhere near the few natural principles that govern wealth.

Thanks for the indebt response, but sports betting is a legal business. The Scriptures also didn't go against it, either

Agreed sir. But not everything that is legal in the eyes of man is approved of God. You can only be on one side, if you want to walk with God there are billions of legal things you can't do not because they are sin but because they will harden your heart towards God.
That's the difference between an overcome and those Christians running after signs and wonders. What you are sensitive to is what you will manifest daily.

God spoke to me in dream not to be involved in betting. I didn't even pray about it

God2man.

What God doesn't like is speculation if they are good at betting and they bet with the assurance of a net win position, then it's ok
