To me sowing seed in churches is also a form of gambling, cus you stake and expect something in return but there is a chance you might not get what you wanted 4 Likes 1 Share |

gr8tone: Sport betting is not really a sin but it can lead you to sin. It is not a sin because people bet differently. Some people bet responsibly while many bet irresponsibly. The Bible warned us about seeking for quick money and the danger that comes with quick money: Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. (Proverbs 13:11) Many bettors seek quick money. It is the same with many who play the lottery or who engage in forex, and get-rich-quick schemes like MMM. Another danger with sport betting is that it can make some people desperate and lead them to make regrettable decisions. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (Timothy 6:10) When I was pastoring a church some years back, I was led by the Spirit to minister to a man who had a gambling addiction. In his desperation for quick wealth, this man had visited many native doctors and Alfas and had carried many sacrifices. Since the Bible is silent on the issue, I can only give my opinion on the matter. Sport betting is not a sin. However, it can encourage people to sin. It is like doing business of buying and selling. Ordinarily, the business is not a sin but it can make you sin. Many people rip off their customers, while there are some who go the extra length to keep buyers coming. God is against sin. Whether you are into sport betting or business or forex, you should ensure to never offend God while carrying out the activities. 1 Like |

For the fellow that played responsibly and with a stroke of luck won millions with which he built a house and set up a business, it is not a sin, for the guy that used his children's school fees to bet and lost, it is not only a sin but iniquity. 1 Like |

gr8tone: Sports betting is a form of gambling and Gambling brings along evil deeds like alcohol, telling lies, greed, grudge, revenge and murder. Gambling also causes disorders, disagreements and neglects in family life. There are many people who sell their religion, honor and country due to gambling and who tread on all kinds of sacred values. Finally you winning means somebody loosing & falling into the first two paragraphs I mentioned. |

gr8tone: While on site the way my carpenter who's an addicted gambler branded gambling for me I almost buy into it,but the holy spirit instantly fired two scripures into my spirit and the temptation dropped immediately. 1. It is the blessing of the Lord that maketh rich without adding sorrow. 2. We should work with our hands so we will be able to give to those that is in need. If you are sincere,and agree to go by whatever he told you, he will surely show up |

For those who know about Binary trading and Forex trading, I see no difference between these things and Sport betting. Some people earn all their income from Binary and Forex trading. So except those are sinful then can sport betting. 1 Like |

As popular/religious believed the Bible is a complete book. though, the Bible talk about love for money, the people against gambling or lottery always used this statement against the gamblers but them all forget that the reward for any paid job/work is salary, the reward for investment is profit. is salary and profit not money? The problem of gambling is control, a lot of e gamblers cannot control their stake (would not stake what they can lose). If Bible is complete without addressing lottery and gambling may be it was seen as investment. |

It's not a sin ,if you help your self with it(your winnings) Am proud to say ,I do play bet9ja every weekend and am helping my self and other with it , the last time I collected any money from my parents was when I was in year one, from my second year to this my final year ,am the one taking care of my self (the my profile from bet) Actually some parents hates hearing that there children do bet/ gambling , including my parents ,when they asked me why I get money from , I told them that I got NNPC fully funded scholarship covering my tution fee ,transportation fee ,feeding and sundry expenses ,and going to tell them my source of fund when am done with school ,but not now because they may get mad at me. My advice to other is : never you play visual game ,I advice people to play only live matches , and not all live matches and not every day ,; for me I play only on weekends or any top champions league match that falls between weeks, Again don't play too much combo like 10 to 24 ;; for me I play only 2matches ,highest 4 sure games and I go stake from 20k to 200k depending on the form of the club squad and there opponents Finally I can confidently say that I have up to 4.5 m in my bank account ,just from gambling ,for over three to four years now I can I haven't lost up to 8times ,but I can't predict for anybody , because am not God ,but if I play you are allowed to reprint my game or copy my coupon code . Have a nice day. 1 Like 1 Share |

Betting is a risk and many of the the simple things we do in this life are risks. However, betting may be addictive and addictions are terrible. Many people have gone broke because of this. Bet with sense. Take risk when you are sure of rewards. If your conscience tells you its is not good, lay off. |
