LOL, probably they can call their stupid god like casting bad words when gets loss or it could be also calling the real god when things gets good or bad. It will just depend on the scenario.

But, I do not really believe atheist has no God at all. They just deny the religion but no one could not feel a high beings with super powers that created the world and the human beings on this earth.

It’s quite natural for humans to believe in their god either they are happy or sad. But yes you are right, when we have bad times, we return ourselves to God because we know we are helpless and their materialistic world isn’t working for me. But if someone thinks gambling can turn him to God, well that is good, but unluckily it doesn’t happen mostly. Exceptional cases exists but this isn’t normal practice.

It's an odd way for an atheist to beleive in God thru gambling. I believe that it can make you believe in superstition because each gamblers have their own beliefs on whether how and what is lucky for them.

Yeah! That was weird. but you know what? it really do happen sometimes even how degree of being an atheist you are (IMO). Actually I have an atheist friend, he is smart and only based his principles of reasoning on what science can offer to us; he possess the most common trait of an atheist. But one day, I was shocked when he told me to pray for him while we are walking on our way home, he ask for it because he is currently having a big problem with his academics due from being a lazy student. At first I laugh so hard after hearing those words coming from his lips and realized that devil's horns also break and may also replaced by a halo lol.

if he, an atheist which only struggling with his academic problems, think of God somehow then what more for a gambler who is now losing everything he had or a gambler who is wishing for a life-changing bet (just for example).

We all know gambling is random. We like to call it as "luck" as it sounds cute but it's like "choice of odds" in mathematics.

I'm an atheist and when I started to play, I had a fun experience despite of what I won or lose because I bet small amounts. Then I got addicted because of some big wins so I started to gamble much.

Even if I wanted to think that maybe my winning and losing isn't getting impacted by anything external, I believed otherwise. I believed my winning is the result of the color of the shirt and wearing, music I'm listening to, time of the day etc. Then when I lost big, I prayed to God to help me win/recover. I saw gambling as life and winning is heaven and losing is punishment from God.

Then slowly I stopped and the addiction got away a bit.

What's your opinion, do you believe in God/power that you think may help you win? I think gambling has the potential to turn an atheist into theist because of fear/risk it has.

If you gamble for fun, that it should be ok with any religion.
Paying some money for entertainment is a good idea.
We in casinos believe that we provide entertainment for people. And we do charge for it.
Sometimes when you look at random outcomes it looks like you understand the nature of the game.
It looks like you have got the understanding how random works.
You feel the intuition that tells you what to do, you listen to the voice of God or Devil who knows.
Please be aware that all that is a part of entertainment casinos offer and charge for it.

I believe in God so I believe that God involves in everything that I do/get. In case of gambling no matter when I win or lose, I believe that God has his plan on it. I cant say it is a God's power, but all is planned by God already.

For those who believe in God they must also know that God does not approve gambling so if you still do and pray and you win, I don’t think God made it happen. It happened because of chance but no God’s will involved there, that is only in preparation for your incoming loses.

The first statement was right, it's all depends in the situations where you are in place, calling god to help you by doing a sinful act very funny, when you win you'll be thankful but if you lose then you will assume to yourself that there's no existence of such being and you will keep denying it inside of you, mentioning being atheist, maybe it's normal to say that you probably looking for someone to blame if things will not favors you.

I don't think that being an aitheist or a believer connected in gambling. Yes, sometimes I tend to pray to God for me to win my gambles. But even so, I still don't win some games. You wanna know why? Because it is not connected to your religion.

Those who are more attached to the religion will surely pray from the God that they win in gambling. If you have no attachment to religion then ofcourse you will not think in this way. In few religions Gambling is prohibited, so those people should avoid gambling in the first place.

Yes. It is normal for everyone to call on what they believe in a tensed situation, this is the reason why many religious people would always call on God. No big deal with this, I even see it as one fun aspect in gambling. I laugh really hard, most of the times I see religious gamblers at my casino center and I try to relate what they are going through. Well, like you have rightly said, those whose religion is against gambling should not be in the game to avoid too many contradictions.

How can that be our God do not want his people to become miserable if you become a compulsive gambler and your life's become miserable then you have God to blame, it's just pure luck because that forms of gambling you are playing relies on pure luck nothing more.

Gambling is only depends upon luck and there is not such superstitious which may cause you win. Some people believe that wearing such color clothes or doing gambling at certain day of week or time may result in good luck and win. These are just false beliefs and have no real existence.

That's true, and it's necessary that we should remain realistic in gambling as we are facing real risk.
A risk that could make us loss more than we can afford to lose, and we cannot call God on that to help us since it's us alone that are making decision in gambling. God is everywhere, for us who believe in God we are thankful if we win, but should not blame God if we loss since losing is possible.

That would be stupid since you're immersing yourself into a game of probabilities. Can't really blame God for it because you know the conditions beforehand. Also according to what i know about the bible, God hates quick riches, they tend to be worse than poverty for the soul of a man. At least that's what it says, i don't have the knowledge of all things.

Being thankful can be pretty good for everyone, what if you help the poor with a bit of it and end up with a better relationship with God? Just for when a more important situation comes. And it has to be done constantly, if you do it by % it's a lot better.

People tend to look for God when everything else is lost and it shouldn't be that way. Being loyal goes a long way.

Well, this is strange that in case of a win people say that this is due to our good luck and our strategy but in case of a loss we put all the blame to god and religion. This should not be the case. You know the good and bad effects of gambling already.

My general opinion is play gambling for just fun and relaxation do not ask to god about this because god hate gamble because in the bible they say gambling is the sin. But as people and they want to enjoy and use extra money theres nothing wrong with playing gambling i advise always set selfcontrol to avoid addiction.

What's the difference between someone who prays in a Church, and someone who prays in a casino? The person who is praying in the casino really really means it

To some extent that's true. I've asked God to help me win this last time so I can go home, or to help me recover my loss, etc. I've even seen an old lady gently rub and talk to the slot machine before each spin, hoping that the slot machine will make her win this time. It's very sad. I haven't set foot in a casino in over a year, and don't miss it one single bit.

You are saying the fear of losing big money made you changed your mind and adopted a religion? What on earth did happen to you to change a sudden course like that. What was the religion you chose? I bet it was some religion who prohibits you from gambling. That way not only fear stops you from gambling again but also the fear of God. Things like that are possible somehow, the state that you are now proves that. Even criminals have changed for the good because of fear of losing their heads if they continue to do bad things. The difference only is that your's is money and them are their lives or for the sake of the family.

The tension that comes with gambling can change anyone from religion if not careful.
Just imagine when playing with huge money and you see that money at stake, you will call any God available at that moment for help.

I remember one time I was at a gambling center and the guy beside me who was an atheist kept on screaming oh help me God to win this game, it was really serious and then at the end of the game he felt relieved. Asking him how he won, he claimed he was just lucky.

I think the tension has a way of making any gambler believing in whatever power that can help at that moment.

Staying realistic in gambling is easier said than done mate. I don’t think you have ever faced the tension of losing big amount of money in gambling, You will be so confused at that moment that you automatically become religious. I am just talking from experience. Like you have advised not to gamble what we cannot afford to loose, that’s actually a good advice and I everyone should always have this at the back of the mind. And if at all a gamer decides to take risk, he should be ready to bear the consequences that comes with
