I love your submission especially that portion where you mentioned that it drag our minds away from God. Sir, don't you think even business can drag one away from God? I am using business because I regard it as a form of betting in a way. Betting depends on predicting possible outcomes likewise business. Last year, a business man bought over a hundred bags of ginger at the rate of 20k each, but he ended up selling each bag at rate of 9k each. How does he sin by predicting a positive prospect for the price of ginger?

Good question.

In this world there are right parts that have been chosen. Make no mistake, before all the other parts were discarded with, they were too considered. Gambling like I said key into that part of our conciousenes that seek Intant wealth and there are no perfection with it.

With business it start from learning gradually falling in love, then comes perfection. With perfection comes appreciation of craft. In form of payment. If I learn to cook, with time my cooking gets perfected people patronize me and I make money from this perfection.

When this occurs I can sleep. If you wake me from my sleep to cook, u can do so. At sme point it's a subconciouse effeort. Although I may be very much submerge in cooking, my heart may not be dragged from God. Because I can be singing and praising God at the same time. Why? I have reach perfection. Which s more or less my body acting even without my mind concerntrating sought off.

But with gambling, the odds are not in you favor like that so to speak. Nothing is withing your control. You never reach a point you are fully charge. Plus you heart can never be at rest. Weather you are into sport betting or casino. You are not in charge. This is why the sporting companies are increasing by their numbers.

With respect to your business analogy, you are working in reverse, the business man only take calculated risk. He wins more than he loose overall. I can't say the same for a gambler.
You can never be an expert in betting too. Thanks so much. I gained a lot

Gambling is driven by greed, which God hates. ( 1 Corinthians 6:​9, 10; Ephesians 5:​3, 5 ) Gamblers hope to gain money through the losses of others, but the Bible condemns coveting other people’s possessions.​— Exodus 20:17; Romans 7:7; 13:​9, 10 .
Gambling, even for small amounts, can arouse a destructive love of money .​— 1 Timothy 6:​9, 10 .
Gamblers often rely on superstitions or luck. However, God views such beliefs as a form of idolatry, which is incompatible with his worship.​—
Isaiah 65:11 .
Rather than promote a desire to get something for nothing, the Bible encourages hard work . ( Ecclesiastes 2:​24; Ephesians 4:​28 ) Those who follow the Bible’s advice can “eat food they themselves
earn.”​ — 2 Thessalonians 3:​10, 12 .
Gambling can arouse an unhealthy competitive spirit, which is disapproved in the Bible.​— Galatians 5:​26 .

Bros greed is a selfish or excessive desire for more than is DESERVED. Greed is when u want more than u deserve in a given situation. You can't tell me that because I want to be richer than Dangote makes me greedy. And The love of Money is the root of all evil talk most people here are saying, Its when your love for money make you do something evil to someone else just to make that money. That's when your love for money becomes evil.

If you hate money here pls signify

I don't play sport bet but i don't think it is a sin. It involves risk taking just like every other business. It is only bad when it becomes an addiction which exactly is the case with most punters.

You cannot understand this thing by the sense. Everything has been rationalise on so it has been more or less covered from preying spiritual eyes. Plus many of us are now partakers or "cariers" so we have a subconscious obligation to defend. We all posses a sense of righteousness as to why we do what we do. It's what maybe gives us that strong sense of justification to carry on.

But if we are to be spiritual, we must first be natural, starting with what we see. ( the invisible things from creation were made know by the visible things )

So what can you see?. Your scores sites. Many of you have been looking at your score sites but I bet not many of you have ever notice that " gambling responsibility pages. Yes! Gambling responsible is a first step in trying to reduce our speed in this area. It ensure all the tips in ensure that we employ little reason when you engage in gambling. Look it up yourself.

But best way to win with gambling is to stop gamblng. Nothing wrong with it. Just a little bet with little money you can spare won't wrench the heart and won't give you sleepless night. But the problem is its a adictive nature. The more you participate the more get addicted.

This is were sin lye. Sin is anything that cause your heart to be stress, you may find yourself caring more for it than for important things around you. Even your love ones. It can lead you to stealing and you may lack forcuse. Finding it hard to commute money to other important things. Like any addiction, you must satisfy it, before you can concentrate on anything else.

So please let's not be fooled gambling games is a sin, it drags our mind from God, anything that drags your spirit from God is not from God
It cause us to suspend important things around us. It does not agrees with nature. Nature does not support instant success. Everything in nature starts from small and grow to big. If you are trying to make success instantly, you are not borrowing from nature. Plus it's a big sign of impatience. That is consistent with this generation.

It's not like the same thing, they are exactly the same with different level of risk and certainty

Saying they are the same or different depends on your reason or reasons. You can't 100% say they are same thing. I can give you differences and similarities between both.
The major similarity is that they both involve predicting, while many other things we do each day in life also involve predicting.
A difference between is that one is buying and reselling currency just like buying and selling goods to make profit while the other is literally staking on probability.
You must be 100% correct in betting b4 u win, if u miss 1% percent in betting, you lose all
but in forex, you can lose all, lose part of your money, get ur trading capital back, get some profit or get all profit. You can stop as you want. Forex is just e-trade.
All the same betting or forex, I don't see anyone wrong there. It depends on your decision. As long as you're aware of the risks. Life itself is a risk.

Sports betting to me is placing your money on predictable outcomes. If it turns out positive, you gain but if it turns otherwise you lose. I know that the Bible warns against the love for money or material things above God. But i find it difficult to see betting as a sin. Most youths today are into sport betting but the church is silent about whether it is a sin or not. I am saying this because I am yet to see any preacher publicly condamn sport betting.

I am into betting. Any one who will condamn betting as regards Christians believe should do so with Bible references to convince me. I am not upholding my opinion above others. I only seek to know.
if your conscience judge you on it! Fine...

They are exactly the same. In forex why u don't lose all your money or lose some or gain small is because u diversify your capital and follow money management strategies. And in business if u invest in obsolete Items stupidy like most people bet stupidy, you may end up loosing all ur money or even buying a company close to liquidation stock. If you apply same to sports betting you can never loose all your money if u apply the right principle, u may lose small or gain small, loses may be more than gains and gains maybe more than loses most of the time. You just need to apply certain principles

Sport betting is a business source but highly risky ....its pure financial wisdom to invest only what you can afford to lose.

Reason why it becomes a bad venture is that most users invest so much and have high expectations, and when they lose they go extreme to find another capital to invest.

Sport betting requires strategy that fits each individual pockets...you don't have to play it every weekend or everyday..u can play it when all situation puts a team under pressure to win at all cost..

I have more to say..but I will put hand to rest.

Meanwhile ...I made close to N800,000 this year from several winnings..some times I stake on just two teams that are in a just win situations.
You made 800 k this yr......... how much have u lost? I bet u hv lost Close to N1m

Whether it is a sin or not, Sports betting is killing Nigerians slowly but they are yet to realise it. I know a man who has become a sport betting addict. He is a liability even to himself. Borrows for betting and loses. He has no properties, no salary even though he is paid a comfortable salary. Everything goes to debts!

This really should be the issue. Gambling addiction is destroying many Nigerians.

In my workplace, there are people doing this sport betting, in spite of earning huge salaries.

But betting is not the only problem. There is forex too, which is another form of gambling.
