It all depends on the person. A very small percentage of the population used to be so religious. Not many get into gambling, even if they do, they will be like, We need to start to wager after a prayer. They are like completely controlled gamblers, because if they don't win, they just quit because God isn't willing. I'm not sure of it, but religious books say we shouldn't show interest in gambling directly, but indirectly. Whether one needs to follow or not is up to the person's belief in the religion.

I think why religion forbids it is because playing gambling does not bring benefits to a person's life because it can make them forget themselves, there is no need to be hypocritical about that, we all know that sometimes every time we gamble we often forget ourselves, there are even gamblers who go beyond the limit and become addicted. until you end up going bankrupt, losing money or even your family, especially because of gambling, people resort to domestic violence or other unethical activities, actually religion forbids that just because you won't be able to control yourself.

But if you are able to control it, you can gamble in a relaxed manner without having to hunt for anything in it, for example just to have fun or make it just for entertainment, it all comes back to ourselves and how we use our mindset correctly, if we are not able to managing emotions and controlling yourself, it's best not to gamble and obey the commands of your religion because that also helps to keep you away from everything that will destroy you in the end, but if you can still control it, everything will definitely be fine, talking about sin is everyone's right and their respective beliefs.

IMHO: Connection between faith and gambling is complex, with different viewpoints on how compatible they are. Many religious people gamble casually, seeing it as a harmless activity rather than a way to make money. However, gambling addiction is a serious issue that can cause major personal and financial problems. Religion can provide guidance and support to help people avoid these dangers.
For those who decide to gamble, regardless of their faith, it's important to be self-aware and practice moderation. Knowing why you gamble and setting clear boundaries are key to keeping it a healthy activity. Reflecting honestly on whether you're gambling for fun or as an unhealthy escape can help you make better decisions. Ultimately, whether to gamble or not is a personal choice, but it's crucial to gamble responsibly if you choose to do so.

At first those who get themselves addicted to gambling, of course, at first they gamble for fun. And if they can earn money from gambling once, then they become addicted to gambling because of that money income. Gamblers who win money once and repeatedly bet twice the amount in the hope of winning, many times gamblers often lose the cards and return home empty-handed. So our youth must stay away from this kind of addiction to winning.
