Actually there is a friend of mine that has this attitude , He goes to churches consecutively days before he goes to a Cockfighting Derbies , he has this some called beliefs of saying prayers for the saints he believes a Patron of the fighting cock .
I hate to believe but sometimes he wins and sometimes losses, meaning in the end of it all it is Luck that gives him the win .
Topic: Prayer and gambling. - page 17. (Read 3133 times)
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?

The Bible says that a person must work hard to get his daily bread.
The Lord can answer your prayer. This cannot be ruled out. However, gambling is (in my opinion) not a godly business. In my opinion, gambling should be viewed simply as entertainment. Prayer is serious business.
Usually believers pray for other people (not for themselves).
Moreover, the Lord God neither encourages nor approves of human vices. Passion and greed are more human vices than human dignity.
Therefore, in this case, in my opinion, there is no need to pray to God.
If prayers are working or at least increase your chances in winning then we must see more winners than losers in gambling right now.
All of us can pray. All of us can at least pray before we gamble yes but the chances of us winning will still the same. Prayers will not increase your chances of winning.
Probably there are some gamblers who have their own beliefs and traditions or at least some things that they are doing before they gamble but most aren't have or at least they aren't praying before gambling

If a gambler thibks praying when betting can bring luck,then so be it. Betting practices and beliefs varies from people to people and there is nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't oppose your religious belief.
Agreed, just because you don't believe that it will work doesn't warrant you to say that it is foolish of the other people to do it, live your life and let others live their life, that's the secret to happiness and contentment. hero member

It may be one of the habits of individual preferences before playing. However, it works or not, we cannot determine it.
In my religion itself, everything should be started by praying because it is trusted to make all activities better and blessed.
However, gambling is also forbidden in my religion. So, what's for praying for something forbidden?
I don't think this will work moreover to something that is exactly forbidden. But, I don't know if in the other beliefs. This is just a personal opinion.
Some are doing this but i doubt that it is helpful . because I know that Prayers will not Help people that letting their Wrong doings .In my religion itself, everything should be started by praying because it is trusted to make all activities better and blessed.

Good will not effective in bad things. same us bad things towards good thing.
Really!!
You changed religion to pray, I suppose with the intention of evadior post similar that I have seen raising similar issues.
If someone believes in something, in God, no matter what religion, they will not bother to bring up an inconsistent topic, it is really unwise, gambling does not depend on beliefs, nobody wins the lottery because they believe in God or pray to him more than other people, that shows ignorance.
A good believer does not walk with doubts in the result of his prayers, in religion he believes it or not, anything else does not make you a bad person, but if a player does not believe in God when he plays it does not mean that is the cause of your bad luck ... or good luck.

You can pray all you want but only one thing is certain: the result of the game, lottery, or whatever it is you are betting on is not in any way affected by your prayers. You can offer all kinds of prayers before you gamble but that will never ever dictate whether you will end up winning or losing.
Indeed, prayer doesnt affect the result of the game. So either win or lose, the outcome depends of what destined to happen and not due to our religious belief or what can prayer do in times like this. I think its not right to connect God to this kind of deed, gambling is a kind of game with unpredicted result so winning means you're lucky on that particular moment and not because God gave what we desire.I have this idea. If ever you cannot avoid offering a prayer before gambling, you better pray for guidance that if ever you lose you will not chase it until your loss is becoming so huge. You should pray that somebody up there will grant you patience, self-discipline, and the will that you can say enough, stand up, and leave the casino before things will get worse.
Whatever happens to the games mainly depend on luck. Whatever happens to you depends on you.

I think when they pray that's the last thing they have and they will about to bet the last money they got on their account. In our religion, gambling is prohibited due to the problem that it will lead to which is addiction or mental illness. There are some benefits but the harm is too much to handle by any person. that's why it was not permitted from the beginning, the prayer will not do any changes since people are prohibited from the beginning. but in the other religious belief, they will let it slide because for them the harm and the benefits are somehow in the middle which is 50/50. No matter where you go, those who believe in religion or not, they do believe that gambling brings harm due to the thing that it will lead to.

Yes, I also consider it a normal thing, because each individual's faith is different. Maybe for those of us who have different faiths when we see people praying before gambling is something strange, but what is the judgment about the opposite when people who pray see other people who do not pray? They have their own views about religion and whatever faith they believe in, so yeah there's nothing wrong with that as long as they don't harm other people then of course it's fine, right?

We can't those who believes on it may have different opinion about it, for sure they are doing it purposedly.Quote

That's the case, if your religion prohibits gambling there's no point to deal with it, nothing will change.

I bet prayer is the thing that everyone were used to do before to start their daily activities, it's already a habit for many of us especially to a person or in a country which is religiously oriented and practices religious tradition in their daily activities.
However, gambling is also forbidden in my religion. So, what's for praying for something forbidden?

Also, I don't think so if there's a religion that allows their fellow members to gamble, I guess all type of religion forbidden gambling but yeah, it's all up to a person or to a religious member coz at the end of the day it's a person's choice of what he'll gonna do even if it's forbidden.
But the habits of praying before gambling seems to be practiced and some of us thinks it is worked which of course I'm not that sure.

At the end of the day, what matters is the result, if it's effective that you'll pray every time you gamble, then do it. God can provide you with anything you want as long as it's necessary and it's time, of course, we have different beliefs so we are free to do what we want, casinos would only care that you have to pay the play, and just do whatever you want.
Just like the others who did rituals before betting. It is not an issue if a gambler prays for his wins. Whether his prayers will be answered or not, I agree that it's still the results that will matter. Activities that can be against to the belief, it depends to the person who believes on what he do.
Still, it's gambling, a game of strategies and probabilities.

People would surely sticks out on something on where they do sees that it do works into their gambling activity and you are right that if praying is something do works for you then stick to it and dont mind on what others been saying because luck isnt something can be controlled upon no matter how hard you do pray because outcome do really matter most and you would be saying if its working when you do hit some pots but if not thenyou would just find out that praying is irrelevant and this is really on someones take neither they do believe into something.
Have you ever prayed before placing a bet (gambling)?
Did it work?
Yes, I did and I always pray when betting it doesn't matter if I win or lose, the most important is I dedicated everything I do to the Lord, he is the one who makes things happen, and I don't see anything wrong with it, people will call it hypocrisy but it's not if you just want to have some fun and you only allocate for that purpose, and besides I pray that I have control and not to step my limit.

Superstition is everywhere! I don't think praying or anything similar can help in gambling, but people have the right to hope and to believe in what they want!
Superstition are everywhere and each gamblers have their own beliefs, they are thinking that with the help of this kind of mentalities they are adding good chance to win with every prayers or any rituals that they are performing.
We can't blame those who are doing this, as even there's no proven explanation within this practices some are claiming that they are benefiting from doing it.
Everyone are free and if it's helping them then so be it. continue to believer there's nothing wrong as long as you are using your own money while gambling.
If your pray before every bet I guess you will learn that prayers will work sometimes, and sometimes not... more or less from the prayer, a lot more from the game you chose to play, and odds you are chasing! So if you are praying before every bet at x10 or higher, I think only 1 prayer in hundreds of bets will work! Maybe it would be better to chase lower odds, at least praying will work a lot more...
