i think its sports investing not a sin...Just like buying shares and hoping on progress but the sin part is when u start using money fr every other thing on it and losing can lead to life damage

Humm...Robbing paul to pay Peter. It reminds me of heat transfer cliche

Money loss by one = Money won by you.
In this type of business, not every body wins.

Only the seller and few customers/buyers win

i do. practically every weekend. Its a way to take care of a few loose ends for the next week like fuel for generator, running around etc. Don't get me wrong though, its not a full time job for me. just something to earn some change aside my salary, i personally don't use school fees, rent or money for house upkeep to punt.\
Once i have a spare 1k by friday ,if i feel like punting for that day i'll turn it to 5k by saturday night...no boasting!
u can actually resist d urge to punt a large chunk? na u be d real MVP

Definitely not.
If anyone posits that it is a sin, you would then be saddled with the task of showing biblically how it is a sin.
Let's understand this clearer.
Many people tend to feel addictive acts are wrong, but in the end, they are not exactly inherently wrong. Its just the addictive nature and the possible tendency for that addictive nature to mislead the individual that makes it appear seemingly wrong.
However, I stand to be corrected on this.
certainly yes. Its a sin

Re: Is Sport Betting A Sin? by Chukzyfcb(m): 7:40pm On Sep 27, 2015
I laugh when people criticize Gambling whereas its done by virtually all of us.
****************************************
What is gambling? When You put down your money to buy a "chance" so as to get more money thats gamble. Now bring this to reality.
*******************************************
When you subscribe with MTN card to attend "who wants to be a millionaire" game show. Are u not buying a chance?

When MTN says send text for 100naira and u stand a chance to win a House worth 15m, are you not buying a chance?

Also, when you sign a raffle ticket from a church promo to win a bike or generator or cell phone. What are you doing? No be Gamble be that eh omo pastor? Loool

One time in history, eating chocolate was considered equal as the sin of the flesh........ so am not fazed if betting tagged a "sinful act"
Re: Is Sport Betting A Sin? by nolstagia: 12:19pm On Sep 28, 2015
Well I do not think sport betting is a sin because it involves predicting an outcome that is probable. If betting is a sin, then insurance business is also a sin. Nigerians should not confused legitimate business with the issue of religion because some religious belief even condemned payment of interest which is the main source of revenue for banks. i believe many followers of these religions still work in these banks and would dare tell their employers that interest on loans is a sin.

andyanders:


Listen, even some pastors can be addicted to tithe and offering. Looking at a woman lustfully is a sin just like taking her to bed when you are not married. Having to marry your job to the detriment of your family is a sin.

Anything you become addicted to, is a sin. When you are addicted to S3x even to your legally married wife, it becomes a sin.When you addicted to watching TV or video, it becomes a sin.

What of Churches that practice selling in the church- bazar whereby they can sell 1 goat of N10,000 to the highest bidder

"When you are addicted to S3x even to your legally married wife, it becomes a sin"

I strongly disagree with this, and im sure am not the only one who does
Re: Is Sport Betting A Sin? by Chizzled06(m): 12:13pm On Sep 29, 2015
Sports betting is supposed to be a fun activity, thoroughly regulated in developed countries that allow it.

But if you think you can accumulate wealth from gambling on the outcome of sporting events, then you're on your way to ruining yourself.
Sports betting, just like gambling is very addictive. With the wrong mindset, you can lose a lot of money faster than you could have imagined.

Remember that these betting companies are businesses. Very lucrative ones at that.
Re: Is Sport Betting A Sin? by Xtianart(f): 9:55pm On Sep 30, 2015
For you to ask that question, I am sure that deep down in your heart, you already know the answer to that. Roman 8:14 say, For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The Holy Spirit is your identity card as a Christian. He teaches you to know what is sin or not. Why don't you ask Him?
