I don't really believe this dude because such grace has not even worked for me although some of my physical trader friends sometimes says they have more customers anytime I comes around their trading centres and they love having me around.
Does this really happen a reality or it is just some sorts of mental reasoning fellas?
for those of the religious background, things like this could become easy to understand because faith plays a big role in determining the outcome of thier lives and there are people that plays casino and prays while doing so and ascribe there succes to thier prayers.
Believe systems varies but please little or no role in gambling. This is the major reason why world cup isn't won by the most faithful or religious nation. You've got to believe that your prediction will work and that's why you can use as high as $3000 in a single game. But at the end of the day, the outcome of your game isn't a function of your faith or luck but it's basically a function on what was programmed to happen at that moment. If it favours you, then that's your good day but if it doesn't , you've got to walk him with your reality.
I think it was just a lucky day for your friend cause of it didn't play out, he would probably see you as another bad luck.
Its foolishness to pray while gambling, such prayer can't be answered and that doesn't mean that you won't get lucky, just don't expect such prayer to be answered by the heavens, you can't be religious and choose to be a gambler, its a sin.
If you still go ahead and gamble then you are intentionally doing it while knowing that its a sin, if you are God will you answer such prayer? Many people use the name of God like its nothing, and thats because the master of the universe is a quiet one, its why many fake evangelist and men of god rise up from nowhere claiming that the heavens have called on them.
Gambling isnt one of the things to believe in, this is why many lives have been ruined through gambling, its what addicted gamblers believed before they lost control, even the holy books knew that gambling will lead many astray, and its why gambling remains a sin.
Humans try to acquire success and wealth most impossibly, it will mess your head up if you don't get lucky in the end, and it is destructive for the human mind.
