Hi poster,

my advice is research on what gambling is and is not and follow your conscience. A lot of things done in life is akin to gambling because there is always a probability(chance) attached. the link below will help.http://www.investorguide.com/gambling-vs-investing

Gambling or Betting is bad. There is no way you will beat the promoter of the Game. No matter how big

You win, he will surely collect it back from you. Promoters have the last lough. See all Nigeria promoter. They are very

very rich. Where did they get their Riches? From those they consider as fools. Stakers will always poor.  

Be wish, drop Gambling or Betting for Legitimate Business that will move your Life forward. It a useless Investment

If you called it so.

gambling is not a good thing. but if u get desperate, better to be careful how much money u spend on it, if u cant help yourself. not everyone will be lucky like this guy. also i wonder how much he lost before he won half a million pounds.

It is a sin, the sin of Covetousness.

Though gambling is not mentioned any where in the Bible, it falls under the sin of Covetousness.

According to the Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, Covetousness is a strong desire to have that which belongs to another.

Hear Jesus speaking "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

If you are Heavenly minded, and you desire it by all means and at all cost, then stay away from gambling.

God’s Viewpoint
The Bible does not discuss gambling in detail. Nevertheless, it does provide us with principles that help us determine how God views gambling.
Experience has shown that gambling reflects greed. The Bible strongly condemns greed, warning that ‘no greedy person would have any inheritance in God’s kingdom.’ (Ephesians 5:5) Greed is seen even when gamblers lose. According to one authority, the gambler “tries to win back what he has lost—looking for the ‘big hit.’ If he does win big, he bets bigger, and eventually loses his ‘big hit.’” Yes, greed is certainly a part of gambling.
Gambling is used by some as a means of feeding their pride. One survey conducted with compulsive gamblers showed that 94 percent considered gambling to be an “ego building activity,” and 92 percent said they felt like a “big shot” when they gambled. Yet, God says: “Self-exaltation and pride . . . I have hated.” Thus, Christians are urged to cultivate modesty and humility.—Proverbs 8:13; 22:4; Micah 6:8.
Gambling may also induce laziness, since it seems like an easy way to make money without the effort involved in working. But God’s Word clearly incites Christians to diligent, hard work.—Ephesians 4:28.
Moreover, what they call luck is so important to some gamblers that they become obsessed with it, making it their god. This is similar to the Bible account about men who were “setting in order a table for the god of Good Luck.” Because of their idolatrous action, they were destined “to the sword.”—Isaiah 65:11, 12.
No, gambling is not for Christians. As one magazine editor put it, ‘not only is gambling wrong but it is also a poor bet.’
, in all,while gamblin is not outrightly stated in d bible,certain godly principles helps us avoid it, becos everytin associated wit gambling does not originate wit God but originates with d devill, wether love for money,greed,pride and egotism, all dont ryhme with Gods will, shikena!!
