I believe there’re rapid solutions to problems, and Gamblers always want chances to improve their luck. I’ve seen some ethical gamblers some superstitious medal around their neck or carry one in a mojo bag to keep their powers close when gambling or lighting candles and reciting some prayers.

Those are lucky charms and that's normal to see whenever you see a gambler. And that's the same as the prayers that they do.

It's just all about asking for more luck and nothing else.

^ Because there are some gamblers who were looking for a return of what they had prayed. It seems once they had prayed, they be able to win once they will gamble because that is what they ask for before they gamble. Probably there was a coincidence that you can able to make a profit after asking above about your winning. In my own, prayer belonged to the superstitious belief and this will not be taking any seriously. Nevertheless, we are free to do these things if we feel something miracle if we include them in our gambling activity.

Gambling is a game of chance. It's not surprising that gamblers tend to believe in a higher power when they are on the table. If you have been gambling for a long time there will definitely be a point when you'd need to believe in something....just to attract some luck. Every gamble has his own, could be a talisman, fortune cookies, a lucky coin, a ring or anything. It kinda boost one's confidence I think

It's been what almost everyone I've known does before or while gambling,they must say a short prayer before staking,and the belief that the prayer will be answered most atimes makes them win.I personally think that one's prayer to any God before starting will determine his fate in the game.While some person's just don't believe making prayer before gambling and sees it as a waste.

I already saw someone carrying a talisman, use a ring, necklace, or even rabbit foot and they will say that is their luck. They feel confident when they use that thing, but that does not guarantee them winning the games. And if they lose, they will only say that it is their bad day and will come again the next day. Some gamblers will pray before gambling and that is really happening in some gambling places. Maybe we think that it does not make sense to pray or use a talisman, but they still wear it.

There have been a lot of studies regarding superstitions and the findings are simple enough, people are great at finding patterns, in fact we are so good at this that we find patterns even when there are no patterns to be found, people carry a good luck charm and when they win instead of simply thinking that luck favored them that day because they have been gambling a lot lately and it was something that sooner or later it would have happened they attribute the good day to an object or action, and from that moment on they will keep that charm at all times thinking it will bring them good luck.

Simply agree with this on where even with the simplest thing on where someone could look on could potentially make out directly some patterns and believe out that was the source of luck on why they had win a particualr game without even realizing that was just all conincidence.

This kind of gambler behavior is a bit common or normal where we do stick up on things on where we do believe that it might be the reason for us to win specially if you do win up big hit on that particular day then you would be definitely remembering even on the slightest detail on what you had wore and done on that day.

Prayer and Charms has nothing to do with increasing your luck in playing gambling but since this had been turn out to be a default behavior then theres nothing we can do about it.

This is nothing more than superstition. If praying was all it took to succeed in gambling then we'd all be rich. I don't have any specific rituals I do before gambling and I think I have better results than the average person but I am also not as successful as people who have made a fortune. It is really just a mix of luck, risk, and sometimes skill that will determine how successful you will be.

Yeah, that's true let's are practical, but let's just also respect what they are believing and what they want to do, if they think that luck will come to them once they have done praying before betting then just let them go, lets respect them. Most of the time religious persons are doing that thing when they want to achieve something.

They would be also the ones who would really be realizing on things that they've been doing neither they would be finding out that prayer does work or not or typically overall random since we are dealing with gambling.

Lets just respect on what they do believe as long they dont harm out other people then i dont see anything wrong for someone to pray that he should won a particular game.

Its a personal choice and decision so its none of our business if they do believe that prayer does have significant while they do play.

When I gamble I always do not invoke the spiritual on this. Since I was raised in a family who are semi-religious and are not superstitious. All you need to do is just play and simply leave it to chance. Sure, you can say that you might try to say something like "please" to fate or God, whisper that only you can hear. But for me it is not a prayer, maybe for others like you are asking God to make things in your favor. I just say "please" and if I lose, that is it. No remose, everything fine.

Lots of things would get involved whenever you do prolong your game on where you do really end up on believing into something which is really a very common behavior for most gamblers but actually luck isnt something that can really be influenced because it does come randomly but there are people whom do really believe that they can really call it out on being lucky on a certain game which is really a very wrong mindset to have because this will surely motivate you to play even more and forcing out that you would really be winning the game just because you had done something.

Wrong , if you have been playing for long in gambling then you must understand that there is nothing that can help you but your Luck.

this is something that you must believe mate and not that power above will let you win.

You've got me confused. Define "luck"? What drives or attracts good luck? Is luck a function of belief in oneself? I'd like to know

In gambling, only luck plays a vital role apart from the player's instinct, knowledge, and gameplay for few games. Apart from these prayer will just help to keep calm while gambling which is also important while you gamble especially during poker because not always it will go as the player thinks.
Even if one does not have luck with calmness with them would do wonders as seen live on tables.

As much as we all know that these rituals do not affect the chances of winning, these rituals help us mentally and psychologically especially when a person is experiencing deep stress from the gambling activities. Although it is highly advisable that once a gambler starts feeling desperate that he stops, it is easier said than done. That is why, rituals like these exists.

Like what I previously mentioned, these rituals may not affect the chances of winning but they are harmless little activities that definitely help especially under stressful situations.

At best that is a beneficial aftereffect but the reason people pray in the casino is to ask for a favorable outcome and while this can give them peace of mind in the case they lose this is not what they were looking for, trying to gain an advantage by manipulating something that cannot by manipulated like luck is very common, this is why not only you are going to see people praying but you will see them holding objects that supposedly have brought them luck in the past and they keep them around with the hope this happens again, even when we know this does not really make sense.

Sentive topic but imo Prayer is good but this works in your favor if you have put in the hard work to achieve the intended results.

You are right, prayer alone can’t give you the winning, you need to put in some level of hard work to achieve your goal.

But in all prayers bring good luck, and gambling is all about luck.

The Lord God does not encourage a hobby for gambling. There are many more godly ways to spend your money. Therefore, in my opinion, it is not necessary to resort to prayer while gambling.

There is an exception to this rule - if you plan to use your winnings for a godly cause.

You are right . But at the end of the sentence Are you kidding. LOL. For some people I meet, even though they want to do something forbidden they still pray. But maybe this happens out of habit. But if this is disputed later it will be endless. Everyone has different beliefs. In the end I just leave it up to you all, because this is a matter of belief.

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?

I once try to believe in faith and prayers that will make me win in gambling specially when i still playing Cockfighting back in years.
and also when i am going to casino houses before and at first it is effective but sooner? still it is luck that makes me win.

The belief that if one prays before gambling it will bring good fortune in the game will help,while on the other hand,when one goes to just try luck,whether he wins or not,he bares in mind of wasting the money most atimes tends to favour him than when he prays.Nevertheless,luck and prayer seems to be almost the same thing in gambling.

someone's belief in what they believe is their basic right and we certainly can't force it on other people

Sure, that's exactly my point. You should realize it, I stated 'it is the right of the individual'. In this matter, we cannot force someone, belief is a basic human right and all people must respect it. Each gambler has the right both to pray or not pray in gambling, there is no problem about it. Only he/she knows it is good or bad in his/her belief.

In my belief, praying is just for a good thing, while gambling isn't a good thing. So, praying shouldn't include in gambling. But it is in my belief, if you have a different belief, you can do a different way. I will never blame you because doing a different way.

Anyway, I think our discussion tends to widen since we are talking much about beliefs or religion. And this discussion will be endless because of talking about an individual right. OP @Rruchi man, it is time to stop the discussion and lock the thread. Wink
