Bet is a sin, it decreases your wealth, but you don't even know it, if you realise how much you have lose to how much you have gain, you will abstain from it totally, it's like you are dashing your hard earned cash to apo agbana (bag of losses) 4 Likes |

It's definitely not a sin..
No single biblical reference to gambling.
The word 'gambling' just has a negative aura ..
Same way 'atheism' has a negative aura .
But It really isn't bad.
Everything you do in life is a gamble. 2 Likes |

Sport betting is a sin but sport trading is not... Most sport bettors engage in a 98%-2% winning battle with the bookies unlike traders who trade at 55%-45% chance having an edge over the bookies, it's all smart work/analysis (poisson formula)... So a successful punter, its no sin. |

it isn't a sin...betting is based in probability.. and we are engaged in a lot of things that uses probability as it one of its features... even the so called stock exchange market. betting in another perspective is a game: and we all know what involving yourself in a game means. it carries fun, promotes social ties with people and keeps u busy..not depressed. betting has its flaws like...the system mostly favours the owners & agents, it can be addictive (I believe this is where its a sin #lust and there could be over reliance on it as a source of income for ones livelihood (here u can say its utter foolishness although there testimonies of it be favourable) gambling is not a sin...another word 4 it is gaming is gaming a sin ? besides didn't our wonderful heavenly father in some way made a bet ..telling Satan how loyal job was to him...that was a bet # gamble why becos job could have disappointed God in the end and Satan's claim be right becos he has free will do u think that Christ's temptation was ordinary... he too had free will and could have chosen to disobey God n did what Satan told him... free will begat probability... so anything can happen but God is above probability.. n he is in control 2 Likes |

Re: Is Sport Betting Truly A Sin? by NarnieSnyper(m): 9:53am On Dec 30, 2018 |
Btruth: Bless you for this. I was about asking same question too but decided to read through first. Forex trading is almost same as sports' betting; You get to predict and hope the outcome favours you in the end. But some "holier than thou" will want to condemn it but since they have no biblical reference, they decided to keep mute. 5 Likes |

Btruth: Forex, stock, investment, crypto etc are still different from betting. But from a surface and loose perspective, since they all involve predicting before you win, then I can agree they are all like the same thing. Anyway, I don't see betting as wrong, it all depends on you, as long as you're 18+, and aware of the risk and heartbreaks. Then the rest doesn't concern anyone. 1 Like |

My own personal opinion.. Is not.. But doing it over to the extend that you can not take care of the basic amenities in your life and love ones around is a sin.. |
