I think the verse Al quoted, "to whom much is given" helps alot on this subject. But...:), then does that mean that what is a sin for one is not a sin or others? Is it a sin for the average Joe to got gamble $20 a week?

Very much so. I can go into WalMart and come out with 2 items. If every time you go, you spend too much, then going to WalMart is an occasion of sin for you.

Why? Cause we have different temptations.

Is it a sin for the average Joe to got gamble $20 a week?

Generally speaking, no. Unless Joe has no discretionary funds, that is. WOuld he maybe be better off (no pun) putting the $20 into a jar instead? Maybe. But there is something serendipitous about hitting a number of a football pool and using the winnings for something special for the family.
