I don't think Betting and gambling are the same thing. to me, 'betting' sounds way cooler than 'gambling'

I don't know where people get the notion that gambling leads people to hell I don't see anything wrong in it. Its just like every other thing in life where you loose some, and you win some.
I just made 5k from betting in the barca and arsenal match, and my mum was like "Christians don't bet" and she ended up eating from the money

so I really want to know why its bad.

....like say u know pipple wey play pool (coupon), u for know d bad side of it

Lazio just spoiled my #180,000 quid for losing at home.... e pein mey

This exactly the disillusion about betting! see the psyche? in your mind you feel you've already won 180k 'Lazio just spoiled MY......' before you know it you've earned/won millions in your mind and reality shows you a blank cheque! you have nothing until it's yours. I really hope some people could wise up.

Not knocking Christianity in any way, but sometimes, you just don't have no choice but to adore Islam. Everything that you'd come across in life has been documented in the Koran or Hadith. Muslims in the house, can you please help quote verses and texts where gambling/betting are categorically prohibited? Thanks

gudluckgreat:

See how you misquoted the Bible? Who gave you the ideology that betting is making haste to be rich? This shows u don't even have deeper understanding of the principles of betting..you are just concluding with the pattern of playing of people who abuse betting principles

There is what is called spirit led gambling as demonstrated by you in the match between Barca and Arsenal. In 2014, Arsenal was about to play

Bayern Munich in Germany after losing first leg at Emirates, i was browsing the net and i saw the odds that says Arsenal to beat Bayern 2-0

50/1....i said wow...i prayed and i said Lord if indeed Arsenal will win this match 2 nil let this odds change. I went out after about an hour i

returned and lo and behold the odd was reduced from 50/1 to 40/1....To cut the long story short:-

1)I borrowed £100 from a friend
2) I bet
3) Arsenal won 2-0 away
4)£4100 was paid into my account.

There is also spirit led gambling as demonstrated by the apostles in the bible.

A prayer partner of mine venture into it sometimes back, he went to God about it to inquire about it.
God gave him a clear word: Betting is ''unlawful money''
and he went through someone unnecessarily punishment for it.
So madam, bet is evil.....see hv warned yhu

I feel like I would get reallyyyy addicted to it if I was to try it. I don't know why

. Dont mind all these people saying stuffs. Gambling is only a sin when you do aseju (over do it). The bible only says we should watch our attitude towards money. Dont use gambling as a way of getting money. Dont gamble with all ur money. You can consult google for more info

You won 5k,, you feel excited now, good to hear soon you will open a thread seeking for advice on how to quit,, by then it's late already. Because addiction is what you really want to attain at this point,,,
Na you sabi

I will still get back to you, but tentatively, PROPHET MUHAMMED (PBUH) says and I quote "who so ever predict, soothsaying, gamble shall worship, supplicate and pray for 40days and night without acceptance by God Almighty, and should he/she dies within this period he/she shall end up in HELL FIRE.

Will come back for more detail both in bible and Quran.

mirabel001:
it's a sin coz it might destroy ur life if care is nt taken

marriage is a sin, borrowing is a sin, buying on credit is a sin, payimgTo watch a match or to see a movie is sin. So many sin around. Abeg let people do betting 4get the story of it being a sin.

What has usury got to do with gambling?
And see the bible gave a condition, It said 'He who does not lend his money to the poor with interest.'
That is, it's not even bad when you put your money in usury when lending to the rich.. Hehehe.

Yes o!Europa.Man utd vs Liverpool

and I won it by handicapping Manchester.



the only thing that makes bet a sin e is the hunger to make more and more and more. it plants that seed of greed, you might loose focus on Godly activities.


kaî! some people can form yeye talk meanwhile they can accept the cash without asking.

if 'betting ' is a sin then buying of shares or other investments are sinful too cos you also put in less cash to get a future greater amount.

I need join

send your number, we drop our tips, we argue about it before we all agree to submit our conclusion.

There's more to this sports betting than u know,its very rare to win big instead one or two games will spoil it for u. There's mystery in it. Do u think that all this betting companies will just fold their arms & watch u ruin them down with ur winnings,they do many ungodly sacrificies for u to keep failing so that their biz will continue to be booming,this is more spiritual than u can imagine. If u insist in making it in betting,be their agent instead of playing against them. Be wise,I know about many betting company agents who are living big now. A word is enough for the wise,I don't want to talk too much. Stop gambling/betting now & thank me later.

tuzle:
it is very bad, i am a victim or i am still a victim trying to find my way out. The money am supposed to use on myself, i just wasted it on nairabet. Infact i think betting is an evil spirit dat once u are infested u need divine intervention from God. I will never advice my friend or even my enemy to go into betting of any form. it is bad

you simply allowed greed to take over.

'slow and steady wins the race'

gambling is 'putting faith aside and depending on fate'.

But if we were to look at this issue of betting/gambling, then you placing your money in the hands of stock brokers would be highly immoral becos they also benefit from other peoples' mishaps in the capital market to make gain which you enjoy at the comfort of ur house as dividend on shares bought. Gambling /betting is an elusive discuss.

gift01:
How many people do you see or have heard of that makes a living from betting apart from the bet companies?
.
That answers your question

Go to England and see them. If England is too far for u to reaxh, get on twitter and find them. People make a living off betting. Here are some live pics of ones i saved. U will be stunned at the millions made. some are mine too.

As bad as d economy is, betting serves as backup to me. Good or bad nobody can stop me frm living a good life from the proceeds.

Thats new and wierd

please lets consider sport betting from this aspect..we all want to believe that gambling is a realy bad thing and that betting a gambling..
Well, i beg to disagree.truth be told the whole business world is a gambling platform.buying a product with hope of making profit is taking a gamble on that product..

Now u might want to say,dats for Goods, now consider shares and stock exchange, what would you call a man who buys shares with a company and sits at home expecting to shares to appreciate? Tell me its not the same thing..

We have made this believe overtime from societal norms..but mostly, it realy gets addictive.and waging 100 naira to win millions is just prepostrous..

And for the guy who said people dont make a living out of it.ure just naive.cuz people do. There are yearly and quaterly and half a year working plan to give u good money on the long run..

9ja.we just focus on d chance of getting 1million today.lolz.its funny

I don't see anything wrong In betting.
Yes u can say its addictive bt at the same time a wise person shld know his budget and how much in a month he can use in a month for Betting that won't affect him.
I have made some cool cash betting football matches
I have seen a guy who made 35million naira with just 100 naira here in jos plateau state. so for those above saying its bad.... nah I disagree with u.
Its all about discipline.

way too bad ma guy gambling /betting are two evils that can send you back to the villa without stress. dont try it.

Yep, it's like asking if robbing peter to pay paul is that bad?!

, but ehat suprise me is you are a woman and you bet? Thats new and wierd[/quote]

I don't kwn the op BT I'm pretty sure she is of a youthful age.
women are good football fans and some of them are really good in predicting matches. I was at bet9ja shop the other day, you need to see this woman, I believe she should be a house wife from her age that I estimated. she was talking abt football leagues where they score much goals , countries that most guys that most guys don't even know about. this woman wey I de talk of fit get like 5 kids for house.
