Can gambling turn an atheist to theist and superstitious?

[omonuyak]

What's your opinion, do you believe in God/power that you think may help you win?

No, I don't believe that some supernatural power will help me win a gambling game.

I agree with this. God doesn't want us to gamble so He won't support or help anyone in this. For me it's just luck. Luck is considered a skill, so it's up to the person whether he can win or not in a gambling game. So don't include God in it.

I think gambling has the potential to turn an atheist into theist because of fear/risk it has.

It has, some gambler find solace in the teachings of god when rock bottom and nowhere else to lean on. I personally have seen someone
became religious after losing everything to gambling (property,family,friends etc..). even though I am not religious my self I am glad that
religion can sometime help a person pick themselves up and start again.

Yes, it depends on the situation. When a gambler reach the rock bottom and see that he is always losing, he will tend to change his perspective on life and there's a possibility that He will turn to God, believe in Him, pray that God will change his perspective, and to start living a better life away from his gambling addiction.

Gambling can change your perception on God but it cannot lead to becoming an atheist as most of the atheist I have come across don't believe in gambling Or are be gamblers.  Not believe in God has nothing to do with gambling as most of them are even philosophers and scientists.

Luck is considered a skill,

I don't think luck is a skill.  Skill is something you can learn but luck..?  I do not think you can learn it. I think it is more of a wild card in your attribute that triggers when some condition is met.

Not all gambler turned that way, others curse and blames God when his life turns upside down because of gambling.  That is the tendency of most people.  Pointing the blame on others for their misfortune such as losing their entire living in gambling.

Good question. Short and simple answer, no.

I've been an atheist all my life. Know about my history at Do Atheists hate Religion

And although I have dabbled in gambling from time to time I have had seen no logic for me to suddenly start believing in make-belief stories.

Gambling to me is just a game that I play from time to time and I don't let it become addictive.
