Gamblers always believe in luck, and if you are true gamblers, you will agree with the truth that gambling always involves prayers, most especially if you believe in the power of God.
If someone got more entertainment out of that I will not be against it either but lets be honest those that do something like that do so because they want to obtain the result they want, they want to win and since they have realized that it is impossible for them to do it then they are calling for the help of someone more powerful than them, but this is a bad idea after all I can understand those that call for such help when a family member or friend is sick but to do so just to win a bet? To me that is wrong.
It's again everybody's opinion, if that's how you take it then so be it, but we all know that there are still gamblers who thinks that they've been answered each time they win their bets. They'll keep doing it and try to imitate the results, some may think that they've being guided and the luck that they've getting came from someone who's more powerful.
Let it for those believers and if you are not, then take your path and enjoy your way of gambling.
If you are really in need for money and would use it in a good way, what is the problem in asking for God's help? Since nothing happens without God's permission, I think it's reasonable to pray for him, at least asking for his permission to win that prize that will be put in good use. Maybe God's answer won't come through gambling.
Anyway you make your intention clear and the spiritual world will act at some point to help you overcoming your financial struggle. People pray during difficulties presented on their lives, also during financial crisis, and many of them find the solution if they keep their faith strong until the end.
I find it funny though because the irony of asking for help to win you in gambling is hilarious.Anyway you make your intention clear and the spiritual world will act at some point to help you overcoming your financial struggle.

Do you know what are the causes and effects of betting or gambling?
Do you know that you gamble in order to get the money from someone without minding that it's their hard earned money?
Praying for a cause because you need help for good is understandable but praying for something that you want what they have is not right in my opinion. But if you pray to get what you want God may provide it for you but you have to actually work hard for it.

There is no connection with your prayers and gambling. That two are conflicting each other. The teachings in religions are that they don't agree with gambling.
And that's why if you're praying for luck and you want to win as you gamble, your prayers won't be heard. Your luck comes unexpectedly and there's no need for a prayer with that.
Good point! I don't think all religions condemn gambling, but I agree with you that the outcome depends on luck and no prayer can change that. But let's not forget that gambling is intended for entertainment in the first place. If for some people it's more fun when they pray before making their bets, who am I to say they shouldn't do it? And that's why if you're praying for luck and you want to win as you gamble, your prayers won't be heard. Your luck comes unexpectedly and there's no need for a prayer with that.

Gamble at your own risk, don't ask help from the God. 
Many people keep praying while betting even though they are not asking God but they wish to win the bet somewhat if they are really desperate about winning it.
But there was nothing wrong with that, because even when he prayed the result was still very possible to lose, right?Many people keep praying while betting even though they are not asking God but they wish to win the bet somewhat if they are really desperate about winning it.
So it's just a matter of faith and I think as long as they can be comfortable doing that and don't interfere with the comfort of other gamblers, then it's still totally acceptable compared to gambling and stealing, then it's certainly better to gamble and pray.

I sometimes pray when playing but don't blame God if I lose, I accept the fact that we should not involve God when we are not losing, prayer is healthy for our mental health, and we should do that in anything we do to strengthen our spirituality and we have control on how we gamble and will not become a compulsive gambler, praying is what keeps us from becoming a compulsive gambler.
Emotions are part of human behavior and there is no problem praying while gambling because it doesn't mean you are superstitious but it shows you are emotional about your gambling. Whenever we are in stress or trouble we recall our Gods, similarly, when we are gambling and the game is close we pray. Nothing wrong or right about that, it's just a reaction out of the gambler.Many people keep praying while betting even though they are not asking God but they wish to win the bet somewhat if they are really desperate about winning it.
Has there never been a time you recalled God? I cannot imagine someone living in such isolation that they don't pray at some point in their life. If you have never faced troubles, then maybe you never felt the need to pray but that's almost impossible.When I am losing a bet or things are not going well, I pray and it doesn't change the result but at least makes me feel better about my chances.
Gamble at your own risk, don't ask help from the God.

despair leads people to commit crazy things or to look for something that gives them hope and optimism and most of the time they look for god to give them luck, but they don't think that gambling has science involved, it was created by people using scientific knowledge and there is nothing supernatural, then if there are hundreds of people praying to god for luck, then how would god choose someone and abandon others? it does not make sense. That's why I don't involve religion in gambling
Obviously, I will answer it as a big NO! Spiritual beings don't have any control over the gambling that we are playing and why would we pray?
people pray to be lucky to win
Well don't believe praising some rituals makes do something to win a gamble because it's all about luck this is the reason why some of the people bought and bring their lucky charm. It looks like you become dependent on your believes and prayer but you are doing a risk and chance to lose part of your life.
Well in some parts we cannot remove their beliefs and norms it's better to respect their thoughts to prevent getting issues from different perspectives.

in Africa people use witches to do some kind of witchcraft to get lucky
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?
Obviously, I will answer it as a big NO! Spiritual beings don't have any control over the gambling that we are playing and why would we pray? Praying is sacred and what we are doing is abiding by the sacred rule of the church. If we are gambling don't pray because it is more likely you are doing a sin just because you are gambling always remember that in the book of the Bible there's no such thing as saying gambling is good nor bad. Another thing is that stop praising rituals when you are gambling because even them cannot help you with your betting. Have you ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)?

Prayer is something we can say that wont really work when attached to gambling because this is a game of chance on where luck would be the most important thing of all.
If someone do pray for him to be lucky or pray then he do really believe that God could help him but when they do lost then for sure they will
realize up things but if they won then they would believe that it do really works.

Agreed, not everyone has to be doing it, it's a matter of preference and perspective, if you think it can help you then probably do it. But to be on a rational side of things, just because you pray doesn't mean that you can win and even if you win, it's just a coincidence, be responsible for your actions and don't pray for it.
Coincidence and luck.That's mostly the matter in gambling if you've been praying for your wins. You'll never know if your prayer has been answered or it's just a coincidence that luck is totally with you.

What an interesting topic opened by OP!
Moltva or whispering spells or belief in omens before or after a person has made a bet is of course a way of influencing oneself. Having carried out the ritual, a person subconsciously and partially shifts the blame for a possible loss to higher powers. And this of course can calm him down in the future. I have a good attitude to such rituals, but I also cannot help but note that in addition to self-complacency of a person, there may be some kind of influence of these higher forces. The main thing is that you believe in them. And then they can help.

Damn, I laughed out loud when I read the title of this post 
Oh god, does my god exist in gambling No god can save your life when you are a gambler
As @mu_enrico said, that is a Dice God that will help us to win, so we should pray to our Dice God Oh god, does my god exist in gambling No god can save your life when you are a gambler Yep, but I think some religious people will play gambling, even if they know that gambling is prohibited in their religion.
It means that those people do not respect the very religion they are following. Everyone has their own beliefs and religions, but once one believes in a religion, I think everyone should follow dogma, it seems bad to defy dogma to gamble. Very bad! They're following a religion they don't even respect 
But I still believe that many of them still believe that they do not have to make money from gambling because they can search for another way to make money. They will stay away from playing gambling because that is prohibited in their religion.
don't blame God why you lose thousands of dollars in gambling.
The most important thing we have to put in our mind, God will approve what He thinks is good for you, if gambling is not, He will not give it to you. So just don't expect too much, because prayer will not help you win every day since luck does not come on a daily basis.
Be smart and realistic, just improve the strategy, continue to work hard until you find consistency in winning, regardless of what game you are into.

Lol, that was exactly what I say. Oh god, does my god exist in gambling No god can save your life when you are a gambler There's no God in gambling and prayer does not exist in gambling since most of us think that gambling is a sin but yet we still gamble.
If you gamble in the first place, you didn't believe God, so what is the reason for praying first before you gamble, God will hear your prayers for sure because in any religion gambling is a mortal sin in the eyes of God.
If you still praying before gambling, that is your belief and no one will stop you in that way, but don't spect too much there is a result of your prayer and the last one, don't blame God why you lose thousands of dollars in gambling.
