There is a lot to say about this topic. In my opinion i think that gambling is a dangerous game to play. I have seen it on T.V programmes when people talk about their gambling addiction and how it has ruined their life. You hear about people losing their homes, families or even their friends because they have a gambling addiction.
The Bible does not particularly condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money.
Gambling is a difficult topic because if it is done in moderation and only on occasion, it is a waste of money, but it is not necessarily evil. People waste money on all sorts of activities. Gambling is no more or less of a waste of money than seeing a movie, eating an unnecessarily expensive meal, or purchasing a worthless item. At the same time, the fact that money is wasted on other things does not justify gambling. In my opinion i think that money should not be wasted on gambling. On the other hand people know what they are getting themselves into when they start gambling they know that there is a possibility that they might not win so if they go through with it then it’s up to them because the already know the consequences.
Coming to a conclusion in my opinion i think that people who gamble need to think twice before they do it because. People who gamble say they get a buzz out of it. When they win they get more and greedier so they bet more and more money until they win. Some gambler when they carry on playing so they can win even more money instead of being happy with what they have got.
