Nah, gambling is base on luck and I don't think that spiritual being is involved or can change the result in our favor. But gamblers are very superstitious, again, each and everyone has it's own belief.

So if they thought that someone can higher can guide them, so let them be. I have friends who prays before placing their bet as well, so I just respect them, simply as that, but it won't have any effect on the outcome though.

Just respect everyone's beliefs, I guess.
But I believe, there's no such thing or spiritual being that is influencing the results.
It is really based on luck however, people are free to follow what they believe in.
We all have different upbringing in terms or religion or culture, so those will be the factors why people believe on something.

This post keeps different thoughts flying through my head how about consulting a harbalist or a witch doctor before going to gamble although I know a few people would do that but does it really work. Some people say it does but I strongly believe it could be coincidence and a factor of luck and chance not necessarily having any religious attachment to it.

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?

From me, it's not. Gambling result will not affect what we pray. If we won, it's because our luck only. It's just supersitition when people believe they won in gambling because they have prayed before. I never do that, as i think gambling is gambling, when our luck comes, we will win.

you can't put god in games of chance, doing this kind of thing won't make the person lucky, on the contrary, it will lead the person to become addicted and with serious psychological problems. If there's something I've seen many times, it's just that things like games will always depend on each person's ability and luck, they won't depend on religion. there are people who spend money in churches thinking that they will be very lucky, this is a serious mistake.

We do have different beliefs and different perception in different things in life and this is why some people are really praying up in regards for their bets to win but i do agree on whats said above that no prayer could really be effective in terms of gambling. Prayer has nothing to do with it because you are the ones making your own fate when it comes to your bets.

Some do pray and some do just simply put up their bets and just leave and wait for the result. In regards with prayer or something it doesnt really raise up the chance of winning so i can say that there no point on doing this.

Betting comes with luck so therefore it's not a ground to justify that religious activity has a lot to do with gambling. It's just a game of luck and chance if one finds luck from his/her prediction then such individual gets rewarded anything outside this just doesn't match up. Most cases gamblers pray and end up loosing out, so for me it doesn't really matter much. Ones you get lucky enough your prediction pays off anything outside that keeps the fun going. it's not necessarily compulsory that a gambler must win from his prediction most times we just play for the fun.

It really depends on what you believe in. Obviously, statistically speaking and from a strictly scientific point of view, every person has the exact same chance at winning and losing, regardless of what they believe. The thing with spiritual people is that everything happens to them just as it would have happened to someone else, but they see the hidden signs and whenever they get lucky they think that prayers helped them. Whenever they're unlucky they just ignore that.

On the other note, some religions prohibit gambling, so praying on the win might not be the best idea. Also, though I'm not really an expert, but I think that according to religious beliefs prayers are meant for something important, like the health and life of your family, and so on. So I think such actions might be taken as blasphemy because the only thing gambling can bring us is money, and there are much more important things than money in life.

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.

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?

Prayer or any spiritual take wouldn't work in gambling and its just a bit common or normal on having this kind of behavior on most gamblers on where they do rely with divine power regarding into their bets which I don't seen any sense for someone to do so because Gods has nothing to do with our gambling habits and engagement. Odds would always vary on chances and no external factors could really affect on someones winning rate and this is why it isn't really that relevant nor
never been effective but since people do have this kind of behavior then let it be and let them do those things that they do believe.

The reason why one person is going to win instead of his adversary is commonly explained as luck, but behind the luck factor there may be God acting through his spiritual laws. We as human beings aren't able to understand how these laws work exactly and I believe it's really supposed to not be possible to understand them. It's part of the mistery of the life and the universe, which humanity lacks answers for (even the atheists).
As we can see it's not possible to say why God favours one or another person in determined situations through our limited vision. But I believe God isn't against any human being and no one is abandoned by him. If the person loses a bet today, but lives a decent life, far from addictions and traps of the evil, this individual will be rewarded by God somehow (not necessarily winning the jackpot, anyway).
