When you say that you pray to god that you win in gambling makes me wonder which religion do you belong ? Most religions prohibits gambling's so how can you ask God for a win which is totally not allowed in the first place.

For my experience, no one pray to win in gambling, people just randomly win or lose based upon their luck factor.

You did not read my post correctly, let me quote the most important part below and you can read it again, I hope you will not get me wrong next time. Why would someone pray because of gambling, that is completely not making any sense. Gambling should just be taken for the fun of it, even if I lose, how much do I lose, just a little amount of money that can not affect me in any way. I am not new to gambling at all, I know how things operate while talking about gambling.

This thread is already long but I have not replied here before and I think my reply is just a life experience about what I have noticed about prayer and gambling. I noticed if I move closer to God, I win more than when I do not, if I pray more, I win also, but I always think this is just normal thing and luck, I do not pray because I want to gamble because if I lose, there could be a thinking that God make me lose it when God is not the one that says I should gamble, I just gamble without praying because I am not that type. People praying before gambling to me is not what that will determine their winning or losses, what will happen will happen, what they need most is the knowledge and experience about how to win, taking gambling not as business and also not as profession but just as fun and entertainment because gambling is not what worth praying about.

If you think that praying will give you better odds, you're delusional.

Most religions don't condone gambling so why the hell would they respond to prayers in gambling? That absolutely makes no sense.

But empirically there is no correlation - everything is mathematically determined and has nothing to do with your psychology, and the odds are stacked against you due to that.

I think that everyone understands this, even those who deeply believe in something supernatural. But the main goal of prayer is not to achieve a result due to something supernatural, but to achieve psychological calmness. This is important for those who play for big money and are worried about the result.

Prayer in Gambling it's a funny thing , maybe it's an awkward or they just really need to pray for just to win the game. Some gambler are scared specially if they are new in Gambling they will never take a risk so some of them they prayed just in case they can win. But I think the spiritual of God will never enter cause we all know that thing.

If you are emotionally attach with your religion then it will really work for you and you will find it will bring good luck to you. There is no harm in praying and get help from god to help you in winning. The only thing you need to be careful is that do not take too much risk or any such thing. First play your best with proper risk management and then pray to god for a win.

Just be realistic all the time, knowing the risk is more important than believing that you will win, because if God will grant all the gamblers wishes, then probably people will be lazy because everyone can make money in gambling, and no gambling operators will survive if that's the case.

I'm not sure about that, because if most religions don't condone gambling, then how come gambling itself can grow in so many countries with different religions and cultures as well?
I would probably believe if, most religions forbid gambling then gambling would not grow. But what happened is very different from the reality because even gambling has entered the realm of business which of course there are still many religions that do not prohibit gambling, right?
Therefore, when they pray in gambling then maybe their religion doesn't forbid gambling, so there is nothing wrong about that because they have different beliefs too and we will not know about their religious affairs.

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?

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?

I think it comes natural to folks who grew up in a religious environment. Of course, they know that God doesn't care about gambling but they pray anyway because it brings some sort of comfort to them. I believe that even folks who are irreligious would also say something or the other before betting hoping that they win. Ever wonder why these folks go back to place a bet on a game again even after their prayers and a loss from the previous bet?

every effort we make must of course begin with prayer so that everything we do can get good results in the end, but I don't know if praying will also have a good impact if we do it in gambling? because in my opinion almost all religions exist Forbidding his followers to gamble and in religious scriptures also say gambling is a bad behavior and in my opinion maybe in gambling only luck can help us to win, even if there are gamblers who pray of course the gambler will ask for luck to him.

That's the thing, the religions are disagreeing with gambling so if you do pray for better results in gambling, they won't say that it will be answered.
But as an individual, you can do whatever you want. You pray, you get a ritual, you wear your favorite color, every means that you think that you'll be getting luck as long as you don't harm other people, that's going to depend on you.

Im not against on what you do believe about praying since this had been a common behavior on most people where they do attached up divine things on everything that they do.

So its not surprising that they would really be attaching up on gambling wins too so its up on someones personal belief on things and i dont see anything wrong with that.

Some saying that its just dumb to do that since prayer doesnt really work on this stuff but how about on other stuff as well? there would be no guarantee.

It's just a kind of superstition. It can increase confidence before we start betting. But, it will not affect the outcome of the gambling that we will do. We did it just to find good confidence before we starts doing something like most people does in other activities. I also own some superstitions, including prayer.

The ritual is indeed now as a belief in ourselves by praying anything can be granted with his confidence including in making the gambling bets he wants.
-snip-

I think the right word here is "ritual" anyway. It doesn't matter if someone prays, stands up during a penalty shootout because he believes that his team will lose if he doesn't or players demand that their mascots perform a certain dance because it has brought luck in the past.... Thus, almost everyone has a certain ritual before games start to which he adheres and hopes to win through it.

Of course, this usually has no influence on the outcome of the game, but it's not called "faith can move mountains" for nothing Wink

Many options, beliefs and others enter the game, in my country people sometimes turn to certain types of people who resort to certain forces given by the spirits but not precisely to play or gamble but to find out about other people, or even to know. their future, but I really believe that each person should handle the belief of it, I have not seen the first case that they go to a witch who predicts a score for some sports game, but it fits the possibilities.

If people play a lot, they are likely to use many of the tools that are available to them, some are not so believing and are based only on statistics, but I think it has a lot to do with people seeking this kind of help.

then let them do their rituals, I like how you point it out that nothing will happen to us if we let them do what they wanted to do from

their sides, if they feel the needs of praying before they place their bets, anyway, it's their money and it won't harmed ours after they
pick and place whatever types of games they gamble.

The ritual is indeed now as a belief in ourselves by praying anything can be granted with his confidence including in making the gambling bets he wants.

I don't think it's new for sure in their hearts they always pray when the game starts because it's a hope that if they're lucky, then they will be more confident, there's even a bad thing, then fate and destiny won't go well so they still keep trying with that prayer. .

It's called Law of attraction, they say. Positive thoughts attracts positive things, while negative thoughts attracts negative things, so if you're thinking you could win without any doubt on yourself, it might increase your chance your winning, or not, it's all about trial and error in my opinion because we can't control the outcome of the game.

There's no harm on believing on it, other's choose to do other things in able to win in gambling. The conclusion is that we have different ways on how to deal with ourselves mindset.

Yes that's exactly what it is. Positive thoughts do attract positive results. Although we can't control the outcome of the game, we can still hope to be on the winning side.
There's no harm in praying as it won't increase our chances of losing at all. May be this is why people still continue to pray before the game whether or not they believe in it.
If they win, they think their prayer worked while if they lose they just call it as a bad luck.

I think this is just a way for them to increase luck but the is no scientific evidence that it might work and there is no spiritual evidence that prayers will be answered when you are asking to win on gambling, because in my bible study experience, GOD will not favor you win winning with gambling, oftentimes it is only a work of luck and a coincidence, but people are doing so, maybe to get their luck increase or sometimes this is the way they believe in, but for this kind of people still respect is the best way for you to respond for what they are believing.

This is about freedom in belief and faith, as long as they don't do any harm then it won't be a problem. Also, we are free to ignore or respect them because after all, praying before betting will not make us lose or win because winning and losing depends on hard work and luck. So even though they pray but still, they must have a great effort too and pray, it becomes a confidence booster for those who do it.

Good point and that's how freedom for everyone works, if they feel praying before gambling

then let them do their rituals, I like how you point it out that nothing will happen to us if we let them do what they wanted to do from

their sides, if they feel the needs of praying before they place their bets, anyway, it's their money and it won't harmed ours after they

There is a popular saying amongst gamblers that says "Let the odds be in our favor" irrespective of religious beliefs people say this to themselves because of the reassuring feeling it gives them. Does it make things work in their favor? I honestly can't say but at the same time I can't discourage such rituals

As long as those rituals doesn't hurt anybody and the gambler is doing it for his sake without any interruption to other people. The odds will be definitely in the favor of the gambler if he's truly lucky on that day.
But we'll never know if such prayers have been answered on that day but it just contradicts religious aspects if it's connected with gambling.

I have read somewhere that the what one wishes for, happens if he truly desires for it.
Also, we have indominate powers within ourselves and sometimes what we pray does come true.
Not sure if it's just luck but I guess this is why some people pray before anything.

Yes I have read that too. Power of the universe I believe is what it's called. Some people do practice these principles and see results in their daily life

It's called Law of attraction, they say. Positive thoughts attracts positive things, while negative thoughts attracts negative things, so if you're thinking you could win without any doubt on yourself, it might increase your chance your winning, or not, it's all about trial and error in my opinion because we can't control the outcome of the game.
