The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5).

Gambling is not something that I just “don’t like.” I love Sports Betting Malaysia and have always been fascinating with the mathematical odds of games of chance. Also, I adore horse racing. However, I do not put money on those things, due to the Religion principles outlined above.
