Re: My religion forbids gambling or games of chance.

What religion forbids games of chance? Christianity doesn't if that's what you are talking about.

But, even if you don't consider them Christian(which I'm not sure that I do), some denominations aren't too wild about gambling, either. (try growing up Southern Baptist, then explaining that poker is one of your chief avocations to any of your parents' friends).
To the OP, I think that consulting a spiritual adviser could help, but he's probably going to give you the answer that you expect. What you're describing is the gambling equivalent of retaining your technical virginity until marriage, but doing everything except intercourse in the meantime. Trust me, it ain't no way to live. Decide for yourself what you believe, and go forward. After all, it's your faith, right? But...don't try to play lawyerball with your sacred texts.
