Sin it can only be for religious fanatics. For me, this is a great opportunity to have fun and win a good amount.
Gambling itself is not a sin however if you are doing bad things like stealing money to be able to play then that makes you a sinner. its actually the gambler who handle such situation, if you are playing for fun its good but if you become a bad person because of your addiction thats not right.
What do you mean with gambling isn't a sin?? Of course gambling is a sin but for people who are firm to their religion and for most members of this forum I'm not sure they think that gambling is a sin, including me.
I think he is , because i also don't believe that gambling is a sin as long as we don't commit any bad thing that makes gambling worst because of the things we do just for us to gamble. There is a good thing in playing gambling, you play it in a good way not to ruin your life and others life .
By accepting your chances you will understand your loses, you will not seek more for money since you know you will just lose more. It will become a sin once your violate your own rules and you loss control causing you to lose an amount you cannot afford to lose, of course it will not ruin your life right away, slowly it will kill you until your realize you loss not only your money but your life's happiness in general.
I have a little bit of different opinion in this case. I guess the personal rules that we make are only for our benefit. We only think of if I lost this much amount then I has to stop playing on the same day and when we win and earn from it we dont stop, it is because we think of ourselves only.
What makes it a sin is that we dont think of the others and according to me any harm weather financial, physical and mental if we give to someone we are committing a sin. I dont know how much of my friends will agree with me but this is what how I think of it.
