Nonsense reasoning.

So Mr. Tunde, you want to tell me that if you are given a LEGIT and quick way of making money, you will not take it abi?

This is one of the reasons why so many people will remain poor because of how they reason.

Abeg, who get two sure odds for me today.

Leicester City is looking like a formidable team these days.

what about visa lottery? even roman Catholic are playing raffle draw in the church! the issue of gambling and drinking of alcoholic wine is "addiction" which can ruin many homes and lives ! lottery have saved some families likewise damage more families!. it depend how you want it to rule your life. mind you God knows how He works His things out to bless His own.
How can anyone compare visa lottery to sports betting? Think please.

When the economy is bad people result to gambling.
Football predictions have made so many youths millionaires!
Football prediction is a legal business in Nigeria,so anybody who is not a fan should turn a blind eye.

In Islam, gambling is not considered to be a simple game or frivolous pastime. The Quran often condemns gambling and alcohol together in the same verse, recognizing both as a social disease which is addictive and destroys personal and family lives.
“They ask you [Muhammad] concerning wine and gambling. Say: ‘In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit.’… Thus does Allah Make clear to you His Signs, in order that you may consider” (Quran 2:219).
“O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, dedication of stones, and divination by arrows, are an abomination of Satan's handwork. Eschew such abomination, that you may prosper” (Quran 5:90).
“Satan's plan is to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer. Will you not then abstain?” (Quran 5:91).
Muslim scholars agree that it is acceptable or even commendable for Muslims to participate in healthy challenges, competitions, and sports. It is forbidden, however, to be involved with any betting, lottery, or other games of chance.
There is some disagreement about whether raffles should be included in the definition of gambling. The most common and sound opinion is that it depends on the intention. If a person receives a raffle ticket as a “door prize” or side-product of attending an event, without paying additional money or specifically attending in order to “win,” then many scholars consider this to be more of a promotional gift and not gambling.
Along the same lines, some scholars consider it permissible to play certain games, such as backgammon, cards, dominoes, etc. as long as there is no gambling involved. Other scholars consider such games to be impermissible by virtue of their association with gambling.
The general teaching in Islam is that all money is to be earned—through one’s own honest labor and thoughtful effort or knowledge. One cannot rely upon “luck” or chance to gain things that one doesn’t deserve to earn. Such schemes only benefit a minority of people, while luring the unsuspecting—often those who can least afford it—to spend great amounts of money on the slim chance of winning more. The practice is deceptive and unlawful in Islam.

Your points are well noted but not well written....Dont knw what you intend to portray but is it directed to the Christians alone?
I was looking for where you will state or mention where gambling is written in the bible but none I guess.....is casting lot the same as gambling or betting as you may say?
take note that no where in the bible is gambling mentioned.
I am a Catholic and according to the Catholic encyclopedia, gambling is allowed as long as neither of both persons involve i.e the staker and the betting company does not predetermine or know the outcome of the bet.
Back to your main point, on a personal note, betting has never made me lazy or greedy....i bet responsively. From sept 2, 2011 i started online betting with nairabet and now sportybet, i have achieved alot....my losing streak is just 3%....
am an entrepreneur, the funds i used in establishing my business, building a house in Portharcourt and establishing most family and friends comes from winnings in betting....my dear, God can bless one in anyway he chooses....Though God is not evil but if you say betting is evil, he can allow a little evil to take place for a greater Good!
abeg how I fit reduce my losing streak.... help me, forget OP, na yeye dey worry him

Yes, they are incomparable. Visa lottery is a standard selection process. Lotto and sports betting are random. Make your research please.

Visa lottery is not gambling. Life itself is a gamble if you generalise it. So maybe we should all kill ourselves for surety. Applying for a job or admissions or capital markets or business is gamble if you want generalisations. The word "gamble" itself doesn't appear in the Bible. But when you look critically at the two instances, you'll see they are a world apart. Pawpaw international schools and Obama international schools don't become international by name only.

I just laugh ! two words can condemn gambling which are "act of desperation and addiction ! what ever we do with desperation and addiction is a sin.
