Sin? Well, to be honest, that's a rather superficial thing to say. You should be able to put up better reasons than the fact that 'its a sin'. That's simply not a convincing argument.
But well, what is my addition to this anyway, I have rather maimed views on religion. The only thing that truly is a sin is Denying the Holy Spirit. As long as you believe in your god you can basically sin whatever you want EXCEPT commit denial of the Holy Spirit, because that is an unforgivable blasphemy condemning eternal inflammation in the dark inferno of hell....
Sorry, I lost myself again. Gambling is bad, simply because it can make you lose money, a lot of it, and it can become an addiction, which is, like it is to your bank account, a biblical cataclysm to your social life.
I've also just had a little convo:

Me walking into the room where tonight's guests are talking to my parents. I walk past, and start playing with my little two year old nephew. In order to, I strope my sleeves. That reveals my sweatbands.Aunt: What kind of signs do you have there?
Me: What, this sign? (points at logo on T-shirt.
Aunt: No no, those on your arms/
Me: Oh these, (showing my armbands)
Aunt, talking to uncle: See, those are no davidstars (jewish stars) dear, those have five points, not six
Me: They are pentagrams
Aunt: Do you know what they mean?
Me: yes, it's an ancient sign, it's a symbol of protection and health.
Aunt: is that what you think? Do you really want to know what it means?
Me: That depends on how you look at it, If I turn around my arm, when it stands on only one point, then I know it has an alternate meaning:
Aunt: Yes, (explaining to the rest) then it is regarded satanic
Me: I know, whatever?
Aunt: I will ask my friend, she knows quite a lot about it.
Me: Why would you do that?
Aunt: Well, because I feel you should know how bad influence those signs have on you
Me: ...
Bad influence? Excuse me? To me, its another super hypocryte christian answer about something they don't know sh*t about, while a normal pentagram is a Christian sign of health, also symbolizing the five wounds of christ. Them probably drawing conclusions because I wear pentagrams -.- (but I ain't tellin her that lol)
