Same meaning but different words.
Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
Proverbs 28:22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

God does not support it.

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

so I really want to know why its bad.

For you to win, someone has to lose

It also fuels greed and the love of money

Las Vegas, the gambling capital of America has some of the highest crime rates there

Then perhaps you have to ask for 'scriptural understanding' from the Creator.

the key word there is 'he that maketh haste to be rich ' which is all abouh the bet concept.

and hey Am not innocent, I stake too.

Re: Is Betting/gambling Really That Bad? by donhils: 8:37am On Mar 18, 2016

If betting is the only sin that anybody commits, then he/she is not really a sinner.

What is your definition of being rich? If one stakes 1k to win 5k? Does that qualify as making haste to be rich? If u win 100k, does that make u rich?

EroticAngelina:

what makes it bad?

bad in the sense that you end up being addicted to it and here are the aftermath.

You might start stealing cash to stake bet which means you are deprieving people their happiness which affects people around them too.

you may borrow cash to stake bet which might deprieve those around you their happiness too

salary for the month might end up in betting within a week, no food for house that month, pikin no go go school,

you might end up selling your property to stake bet.very bad

you might lie to your perents that you need cash for some thing important but end up staking bet with it

you may end up making enemies from those who borrowed you money

you might end up using money meant for cooking a pot of soup for 7days to stake bet, leaving family members in hunger

you might end up packing to the village to avoid those who borrowed you money and that is bad

you might end up beating your child, brother, mother, father, wife, husband due to the money lost in betting, transferring aggression to innocent people around you, that is bad.

You might develop IBP due to the shock when you lose a bet

Betting is meant for fun, stake what you can only afford to lose to reduce stress and IBP

you might use the money meant for school fee to stake bet, leaving your parents worried and looking for cash. If you are a female, you might engage in prostitution or sleepping around to raise the cash for the school fee, for a male, you might end up stealing your friends property or else where to raise cash.

Lots of student have with held their school due to the using their school fee to stake bet.

betting is bad when the effect causes pains to another individual around you
. It has multiplier effect so don't think it only affect you when you used cash you steal, borrowed, cunning moves, etc to get

the least is endless, so use your tongue to count your teeth because you might get burnt if you get addicted to it especially if you stake online or offline shop. But if you just did it out of fun with friends or neighbor around which is once in a while, then it won't be addictive and causes harm to you in the long run as long as you used the money your earned not by cruck or cunning move.

Betting or gambling is good or bad to the extent you win or lose money, the addiction part is left for you to decide how addicted you want to be to it.

Re: Is Betting/gambling Really That Bad? by hemmaoshos(m): 9:45am On Mar 18, 2016

Betting is fun but when you get addicted it becomes bad like your weed, tramadol, which ought to be vital for medical reason but people abuse it...Lastly, instead of me using my money to watch match or drink excess bottle of beer I stake it on good odds in return of my multiply. All are risk and good and bad investment..
