I boarded a bus going home from the bank yesterday, then I remembered some football match had few minutes to kick-off then I brought out my phone from my pocket to place some bet, immediately I opened the bet app a man sitting next to me, tapped me and said that gambling is Satanic and I should desist from it, at first it sounded so funny and made me laugh but with a serious face he further said that it's manipulated by demons and that's why the house would always have the higher edge. He said he used to be a gambler but stopped when he discovered that and that there are demons helping the casino and sport betting owners to manipulate people into becoming addicted and getting more money from them, they give to selective people knowing fully well more people would lose and they'll gain back what they lost when more bettors lose the old man made it sound real but I don't believe that, i think he's lost too much in gambling before he stopped and is looking for anyway no matter what to discourage people from being like him or he's just being too superstitious. What's your opinion about this please?
- It depends on whether you believe what the person told you; if you believe what he said, for sure you will stop gambling. But in your story, you didn't believe what he said because you laughed, didn't you? But anyway, you can just ignore what he mentioned.
Maybe it can be said that some gamblers become bad because of gambling, but there are others who do not become bad despite the fact that they gamble. So, that means it depends on us if we become bad because of gambling.
The moderate view is that everything that may arise from gambling will depend on how we respond and react, if someone has the conclusion that the winnings are manipulated and leaves it all to the casino owner who owns the winnings and whatever it becomes like real and superstitious.
But we have to find out how the house performs against us? Is it really controlled? or is it just a random calculation so that luck can be created in gambling without any third party to get it.
Believe it or not this is indeed back to each one, the good and bad effects also depend on the gambler who does it.
