Religion and betting ?

[flyingillini]

How much does your faith have to do with picks? I have given my mind , body and soul to Christ. I often have conversations with him when I am done with confession. I have had deep conversations with him about my picks. I have been taking his advice and now hitting 58%. Christ is King!

It's hard to know if you are being pious or blasphemous.

But lordy lordy, I do like 58%

Wonder what Buddha could do for the rate!?

 

[DarkRaver Camper]

I haven’t been to confession in over 25 years. No wonder why I lose.

my biggest win would be an eternity in pergatory once I’m gone. I’d consider that a jackpot win vs going to hell.

Honestly it has no effect on my wagers

Report for what? I am a Deacon

 

[DontTailMe]

I didn't report you. It just smells troll-ish.

 

[will.i.am]

Well, I don’t even know what to say about that. If you really have deep conversations with Jesus, He probably knows better what you should do.

.... So your telling us that the Son Of God gives you sports picks ?

Is that what your telling us & I gotta ask is this a Verbal conversation ?

Do you actually HEAR Jesus talking to you or is it like a " mental " conversation where you don't hear anything but " sense/feel " his picks

& I've got to believe IF the SON of God was giving sports picks he'd do better than 58%

Sooo... when your pick hits God look upon you in your favor.

And when your pick doesn't hit... God is testing you with new challenges?

 

[hazliam]

Not related to picks but I can see betting as a lesson to reach Buddhism Nirvana (a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.)

Gotta practice being indifferent when you hit a 10 team parlay and indifferent when you miss a 10 team parlay by 1 team and that team blows a 20 point lead with 10 min to ago.

 

[hazliam]

Just wondering, when you ask for a pick, and He gives you a pick but it end up being wrong, do you ask Him "what's up with that?"

 

[hazliam]

Ohh, and regardless of your faith or lack of faith in any religion. Sports betting make us all believers.

How many of you guys don't believe anything, but sits there praying, "going pls, pls, pls, pls miss this free throw, or that FG kick, with 1 second on the clock with your hands clasped together."??

Yup we get religious big time at that moment.

I have heard that many churches prohibit gambling, and bookmaking is considered a type of gambling. But again, there are a lot of teachings like Baptist or Pentecostal churches, and you can find something that fits you. I think you can choose whatever you feel like and find some good friends there.
I wish you the best of luck with the rates and hope you will find some peace in your mind and soul.

It's interesting to hear about your conversations with Christ regarding your picks. While I respect your faith, I believe many religions have reservations about gambling and betting due to the potential risks and negative consequences involved.
