.. Gambling ..

Gambling can be a form of ‘being bad’, it can also be fun, but then again it can become an addiction which may cause financial problems for the person.

There are many forms of gambling that people can get hooked on to:
< > Roulette
< > Scratch cards
< > Lottery
< > Slots
< > Horse track gambling
< > Card games
< > Sports betting

There are various religion views going against gambling, one religion being Christianity. “The Bible defines sin as the transgression of God's spiritual law, the Ten Commandments (I John 3:4). One of these commandments is that we must not covet, or wrongfully desire another's possessions (Exodus 20:17). Therefore, any activity that is based upon covetousness is sin.”

I think gambling can become an problem especially when you start playing, and you have beginners luck and your winning money, you do get tempted and excited and you want to play more, and sometimes when you are losing you don’t realise because in your mind your thinking that your winning so much money even though your losing money at the same time.
