To make it simple, just pray for God normally. He will listen to your prays and if the solution for your currently problems must be achieved through gambling, that is how God will make it happen on practice through his spiritual laws. I keep in mind God moves in a mysterious ways, so I can't say God will or won't act like this or that, because it's not possible to speak for him.
Exactly, I believe he is listening to our prayers and grant what we desire in different form or situation. So we might win or lose in gambling but it is destined to happen and not because we are a believer. I think the question that need an answer first is, is God or any spiritual being glad that we gamble? Some religion seeing it as a sin.

Why don't you just go for a test and place 100 bets with praying and 100 bets without praying. Then you check whether there is a statistically significant deviation from one form of betting to the other. I am sorry to tell you the result upfront, but there won't be a difference. Otherwise the whole betting scene would turn into a religious cult for sure. 
That is an awesome idea , but maybe 100 bets are not enough
We should make a large size - like 1000 bets. This would be a nice case study. But which God are we praying for? We probably also need to test if there is a difference if we have a Christian, a Budhist , a Hindi or a Muslim praying to their own Gods. In the end we need a lot of bets just to be sure. Also what if there is a different if it is a woman praying or a men? Haha yes, and if the prayers win the betting competition by a statistically significant margin I will double the winnings of the prayers, I promise. Or even better, I'll surely start praying myself while gambling.

We can just live a harmonic daily routine, away from the addictions and expect for the best, that our lives may run smoothly through a prosperous, joyful way, however the details of how it will happen for real goes beyond our personal preferences, wishes and desires.

Although luck is needed in gambling but knowledge is the most thing that is needed to be a successful gambler and it funny how unsophisticated people can be sometime when it comes to the reality of gambling.
Have I ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)? No, cause the luck needed in gambling don't just come, gambler personal knowledge pave way for it to come and the last time I check almost all religion is against gambling.
Those are three different things that some gamblers are considering, prayer, luck and knowledge or strategy. They can come altogether but they can also keep up on their own based on the belief and feeling of the gambler. He can consider all of those all at once when he starts winning.Have I ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)? No, cause the luck needed in gambling don't just come, gambler personal knowledge pave way for it to come and the last time I check almost all religion is against gambling.
But the others might just say one or two of those factors that helped them win. Luck is needed because it's a typical factor with all of those luck based games and whether we include those strategy games, we're always hoping for it.
That's why some gamblers only expect to be lucky or not and there's no attachment with religion as they gamble.
It may be natural to pray in all thing for personal gain. But I can say that there is no correlation between gambling and prayer winning because basically this victory is a gambler's luck. Although it's not wrong, I don't think it will increase the chance of winning. I will not pray for winning the bet, but just hope luck is on my side. Only that.
Prayer is a request to God, regardless of whether what we ask for is good or bad, but of course the behavior in praying is also a determinant so that prayer is granted, and in my opinion praying at gambling is not a good thing, because basically God hates those who risking his fate in gambling, so I agree more if the luck factor is more important in gambling and indeed there is nothing wrong with praying for victory in gambling, but we should not blame God when later we experience defeat in gambling.Although luck is needed in gambling but knowledge is the most thing that is needed to be a successful gambler and it funny how unsophisticated people can be sometime when it comes to the reality of gambling.

Knowledge will also be important for the gamblers because that will help them to play better and with luck, they will win the games. Sometimes, people can not see the reality of gambling instead of still forcing them to play longer, making them lose more money. But we can pray before gambling if we feel that can give us more confidence. But if it's not, we can directly play gambling and hope that our luck will come to us.Have I ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)?

Apparently, this are the people that lack the required knowledge and this is the reason why knowledge should the top priority of every gambler.But we can pray before gambling if we feel that can give us more confidence. But if it's not, we can directly play gambling and hope that our luck will come to us.
I agree with you.

spiritual power or consulting to God before placing bet can't do anything related to winning in gambling.
Because I think people have a ritual to do something and it is considered to have a positive effect. Maybe you won't believe it. But most people do prayer and effort. They don't just use strategy but expect help from those they believe in. There are those who believe it is luck if they win, but luck will not keep coming, so they need a strategy and pray, so that it will be eased. IMO
Most of times I won bets by placing carelessly without thorough strategy, I don't pray to nay God, who did it for me, luck right. Such belief doesn't work and jt can never work on gambling.
prayer does play a big role on winning their game then just let them believe on what they do believe because we do have our own decisions in life.
But for me in gambling I don't see the relevance nor the connection for it to be the reason on why you had won your game.

Often times in my country, i have visited a sports betting shop to place my bet, and each time before I am about to do so, i always look out to the other service booths where bettings are received for other other individuals placing their bets as well.
Each time, i notice that out of the five service booths in this sports betting shop, it is common to see two or sometimes three individuals out of the five occupying the service booths always bow their head and mutter some words solemnly, a prayer i suppose.
Big questions - Do spiritual beings get involved or influence gambling results in the favour of those who pray to them?
Have you ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)?
Did it work?
If you believe it does work, examine this scenerio.
If we both worship and serve same god, and we place our bets on the same games, in a manner that our bets are opposites, and we both say a solemn prayer to this our god before casting our bets, Who will this god favour?

Betting on the outcome of matches is similar to tossing a coin. If someone believes that a coin is able to turn in his favor, he will probably believe that he prayed it. It really has nothing to do with it.
I suggest you do an experiment.
Someone can bet on 10 games and you toss a coin 10 times.
The probability will be very similar, and often even better, than that of someone who was emotionally betting on matches.

just let them be.
We do have different beliefs on life and lets just respect on what others been believing on a particular thing as long we don't harm any other people then it should be fine.
and the logic is that whatever happens, win or lose in a bet, it's because God moves whether we consider it a factor of luck or not.
I pray when I want to gamble I just want to be able to control myself and play calmly and not be bothered by demons that incite not to be able to control myself and lust, and I feel there is a reaction and can play calmly and not ambition.

Or, it became a habit. Gamblers do that. They blow their cards, they wish something with lady luck, or they have some kind of habitual movement before putting the bet. i.e. cross fingers.
If it gives them fun to do it or they think it makes the chances higher then why not.
But everything will go down to how the roll will come out. It's luck-based mostly using an algorithm like how the raffles are being done.
There are games where it could be cheated like lotto, dice, and other computer-based games today.
God won't help with such a game. If He will talk to you, He might just say to use that to fill your tummy. Just like how your mom taught you.
