I laugh when people criticize Gambling whereas
its done by virtually all of us.
****************************************
What is gambling? When You put down your
money to buy a "chance" so as to get more
money thats gamble. Now bring this to reality.
****************************************
When you subscribe with MTN card to attend
"who wants to be a millionaire" game show. Are
u not buying a chance?



When MTN says send text for 100naira and u
stand a chance to win a House worth 15m, are
you not buying a chance?




Also, when you sign a raffle ticket from a church
promo to win a bike or generator or cell phone.
What are you doing? No be Gamble be that eh
omo pastor? Loool

Seriously, what's so bad or immoral about betting?
I don't think Betting and gambling are the same thing. to me, 'betting' sounds way cooler than 'gambling'

I don't know where people get the notion that gambling leads people to hell I don't see anything wrong in it. Its just like every other thing in life where you loose some, and you win some.
I just made 5k from betting in the barca and arsenal match, and my mum was like "Christians don't bet" and she ended up eating from the money undecided

so I really want to know why its bad.

You are something else. Been watching you for long. You seem to have an instinct for making money by yourself. Keep it up.

Abeg,Lets discuss business, How much did you stake with?#100?...And was it only Barca and Arsenal you chose to have won a whooping 5k?

So if someone in his mid twenties or thirty plays a game probably with a thousand bucks expecting to get like 15k it's haste to be rich??
how about traders that buys at 100 naira and sells at 200 naira?? what will u call that??

Gambling is bad but sports investment (PUNTING) is SUPER LOVELY. with sports investment, no greed, no emotions, no get-rich quick mentality but STRICT/MATURE business mindset.A gambler wants to make 1million betting with #100 but a sports investor uses a tested, working and trusted strategy to make constant and assured minimal income. Sports betting is a goldmine if u know ur way around it and it can make u go bankrupt,if u are greedy. it's better to win 2-3k with #1000 STEADILY than trying to win 10million with #100. click like if u know what i mean.

it is very bad, i am a victim or i am still a victim trying to find my way out. The money am supposed to use on myself, i just wasted it on nairabet. Infact i think betting is an evil spirit dat once u are infested u need divine intervention from God. I will never advice my friend or even my enemy to go into betting of any form. it is bad

It can a give sense of satisfaction that kills creativity.like winning a ps4 match and feeling the euphoria which is virtual. Imagine if dangote got satisfaction from gambling instead of investing...

#The damage comes when it becomes a Habit#
Yea. ..habit is always the problem. plus whatever takes the place of God in ur life is considered wrong doing, in other words, the only habit we should have is the habit of communion with God.

But then a trader and business men that a committed to their various jobs or business becomes wrong doing to God also because ur job always end up becoming ur habit.

So you see we where created by God just to leave his purpose/Will. when it's his will, u will play and win with ur first try. This Is where lot of people fail, u become a musician because u hear they make money forgetting it might not be God's will for u. U end up singing trash that even ur wife/husband won't buy and den u blame God.

The bottom line is we should always follow the will of God for our lives.

See how you misquoted the Bible? Who gave you the ideology that betting is making haste to be rich? This shows u don't even have deeper understanding of the principles of betting..you are just concluding with the pattern of playing of people who abuse betting principles
people turn the bible to their favour all the time.

its not if you've got a strong spirit of resistense,else its very addictive just like narcotics.which made it very bad cos some peeps might go extra mile to get the money to bet and might want to also go miles or do anything to win.which also made it bad.although I've been a winner of 20k with just #300 before anyways but I've not played it for months now and its not as if I'm mad about..

Let me know if you are interested in the Islamic perspective. Betting a form of gambling is strictly forbidden in Islam, talk about blatant Haram.
Re: Is Betting/gambling Really That Bad? by Pitakwa123(m): 12:37am On Mar 18, 2016
The bible does not spell out betting as sin.
In my opinion, if done in moderation, its ok but if not, then its sin.

Blessed is the man who does not condemns himself in what he approves.-Romans 14:22

So make your decision before someone pushes you into calling what you love sin
