It is not happen always right because it co-intendent with game and you.
Believing that you will win is what encourages you to gamble so it must be worth praying. I've seen a lot of people secretly praying they will earn big not just in gambling. If you observe some religious boxers going to do sign of the cross like they are about to give it all for the fight, it gives them the courage to fight. It's no different to gambling, you will eventually win after few spins but you got to learn when to stop too.
I've been doing this as often as I can, I mean everytime when I played an online game and the fight is intense I can utter a prayer in my mind wishing and praying that how i wish I win in that certain battle, sometimes it worked but sometimes also not worked. Some are believing in power of prayer in their gambling activities some are not and I guess that is totally fine we have our own perception about this thing. I see also some gamblers who were praying first before gambling i mean it is mot necessary but it is all depend on the persons belief.
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
Have you ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)?
Yep, tried to do so. One time, before poker tournament.
Did it work?
This will be funny, but yes, this helped to me. I didn't get 1st place, but was in prize pool anyway
I think this is some kind of self-conviction. IF you really believe in this, then it will help you with a bigger probability than without it. If you're skeptic - there is no reason to do so for you.
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?
All these doesn't work in gambling predictions, this is just a caged beliefs that hinders others from prospering, the possibility of winning in gambling is only in practicing some sort strategy in selecting the good option for winning, this is the hardest part of gambling strategy, spiritual power or consulting to God before placing bet can't do anything related to winning in gambling.

Praying has nothing to do with our bets. We pray for our wants, but that does it mean we can already get what we want when we pray especially if it is about gambling. For me, we have the same God. It just depends on your beliefs but we have one God. I already experience praying before betting, like 'please make me win this time but not all the time it is granted because we are the ones who make our fate.
You can say that but for some people, they will pray before they gamble because that can increase their confidence in playing gambling. They consider that after they pray, their luck will come to them to win the games. But that will not always happen like that because no matter what we say, we will not win the game if we do not have luck in gambling. So human is unique because they still pray to GOD to play gambling, which is prohibited in their religion. 
I think mostly people who pray before betting or gambling a certain game is like believing some higher being above us all listens and hopefully side with them when they talk to Him. It keeps the peoples faith too. And there is nothing wrong with praying even if you are betting or gambling, in my opinion it all boils down to your prayer if it is heartily being delivered or addressed to God. But you know, to each his own. I know a few people praying and making the sign of the cross before they bet on something like cockfighting or even betting a boxers game, for example a Manny Pacquiao’s fight.
That's what those people who prays they are asking for some guidance or asking that luck may side with them. I agree there's nothing wrong believing in it but I guess it will all depend on what purpose you're asking it, just my two cents as I'm not that of a believer on a faith of prayer while gambling.

Maybe it is the higher powers that learn from prayer that a person is wicked, for example, he already won some time ago, and vice versa, they will do it so that he does not win again.
Nobody will ever know what the higher powers think, and we can only guess and then find out what happened.....
Of course, gambling is more fun when you gain (win), but I'm not really sure if God will care if you win or lose at the casino, because basically in gambling luck is the determinant of your own destiny, Many religious people will say that gambling is a sin, but why do people keep doing it? surely some people will answer to have fun and enjoy life and some others make gambling their profession, so there is nothing wrong with asking God for a little help by praying for luck at the casino, regardless of whether your prayers are accepted or not, of course it all depends on your own intentions.
win or loose they are helping someone and they dont need to worry even if they forgot their promise of helping a charity
Instead of going through lottery system for helping charity, why not a gambler just go for helping directly to the needy people? Honestly I never believe into such things like a gambling house is donating something for charity and only from the remaining amounts, they are running their business. In my opinion people who are really having helping tendency, they will never advertise them for the cause of developing their business.Believing that you will win is what encourages you to gamble so it must be worth praying.

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? Cool! How many bets may it takes if we also includes those gods from every small religion that exist? but all in all
it's human behaviors that affects this beliefs.
Even you take it all and pray there's no assurance that the results of your gambling may changed uo and favor you,
still luck and good bankroll managements that will lead you to win.

By knowing the final outcome in advance, it seems they are making such promises. The moral we need to learn here is, we should never make any promises based on the future profits of gambling because there is nothing like that in reality . 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.

Prayer is healthy to the mind and god for our mental health so even if you are going to pray while gambling you are doing yourself well I have never seen or heard a person who is not praying it's part of our being human I don't see anything wrong if I pray and I will not judge people who are praying because it's good for everybody.
Praying is our way of talking to God but praying when gambling! I think it's wrong...It's no secret that naturally many gamblers pray when playing gambling or placing the lottery, their only hope is to win. but the bad thing that happened then was they forgot god again when they won
When the time they hit up millions specially on lotteries then those kind of prayers would definitely be forgotten and some do even promise to make out some charitable works if they won but when it happened then those would be forgotten and they would prioritize on whats do they have in mind.
People would forgot God already when they got millions but honestly its not really that appropriate on tagging out divine intervention into your gambling
activity because luck cant really be influenced by any factors.
They wouldnt care about those promises that they had made when they are just still betting and make out some promises.
I have see several people who had been like this not on a lottery winner but on a simple gambling winnings where promising on making
charitable works and after that then t hey do forget but most of the time they cant do such thing because they do lost it all.
why cant they bet on it . win or loose they are helping someone and they dont need to worry even if they forgot their promise of helping a charity .
god knows if who is sincere and will make its promise and for the people that won and forget god , god will make a way to punish that winner .
