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?
Hey man, whatever makes us sleep at night. Clearly this guy's either saying the truth (about his experience, not about the nature of gambling) or he's trying to persuade you from quitting gambling, and while normally I would appreciate people helping me control my gambling urges I do not appreciate it when I'm being scolded like that lol. Like what the fuck do you care about how I spend my money or how much I gamble, and who are you even?
In any case, No, that's just superstition created to better cope with losing so much money on gambling, instead of taking accountability and blaming himself, which thereby would allow him to see his mistakes and therefore become a better person, he created a belief system that specifically takes the brunt of the burden of dealing with gambling consequences for him.
