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?
That is the man's believe and not my believe, gambling is not satanic if only you know what you are doing that is doing it right with your habit towards gambling, I completely agree with you that the man has lost so much for him to have come up so such conclusions about gambling being satanic. However, so far people that win are being paid I don't think if there is anything wrong with it perhaps no body has ever been forced to gamble it has always been a deliberate action or activity which is meant to be considered to be for a fun, gambling becomes problematic if only focused are made on maximizing profits which of course has no guarantee, it is either you win or loss.
