Prayer and gambling.

[ipanks]

Gamble at your own risk, don't ask help from the God.

Many people keep praying while betting even though they are not asking God but they wish to win the bet somewhat if they are really desperate about winning it.

But there was nothing wrong with that, because even when he prayed the result was still very possible to lose, right?
So it's just a matter of faith and I think as long as they can be comfortable doing that and don't interfere with the comfort of other gamblers, then it's still totally acceptable compared to gambling and stealing, then it's certainly better to gamble and pray.

There is nothing wrong with that and people will still pray to God so they can win. Besides that, we do not know if they are really praying or not as they will not always tell others and keep it secret. But what a gambler must do is always remember that gambling can not always make them win and control themselves. Just playing gambling for fun and never chase the win as we will not have a bigger chance to get it.

There is no connection with your prayers and gambling. That two are conflicting each other. The teachings in religions are that they don't agree with gambling.
And that's why if you're praying for luck and you want to win as you gamble, your prayers won't be heard. Your luck comes unexpectedly and there's no need for a prayer with that.

Good point! I don't think all religions condemn gambling, but I agree with you that the outcome depends on luck and no prayer can change that. But let's not forget that gambling is intended for entertainment in the first place. If for some people it's more fun when they pray before making their bets, who am I to say they shouldn't do it?

Only those who depend too much in gambling will pray for him to win, though I know we all want to win while having fun but I don’t think praying can help because if all the religious people go to casinos and gamble, they will win but that’s not the case since luck didn’t come from any kind of prayers.

If someone got more entertainment out of that I will not be against it either but lets be honest those that do something like that do so because they want to obtain the result they want, they want to win and since they have realized that it is impossible for them to do it then they are calling for the help of someone more powerful than them, but this is a bad idea after all I can understand those that call for such help when a family member or friend is sick but to do so just to win a bet? To me that is wrong.

If you are really in need for money and would use it in a good way, what is the problem in asking for God's help? Since nothing happens without God's permission, I think it's reasonable to pray for him, at least asking for his permission to win that prize that will be put in good use. Maybe God's answer won't come through gambling.
Anyway you make your intention clear and the spiritual world will act at some point to help you overcoming your financial struggle. People pray during difficulties presented on their lives, also during financial crisis, and many of them find the solution if they keep their faith strong until the end.

I find it funny though because the irony of asking for help to win you in gambling is hilarious.
Do you know what are the causes and effects of betting or gambling?
Do you know that you gamble in order to get the money from someone without minding that it's their hard earned money?

Praying for a cause because you need help for good is understandable but praying for something that you want what they have is not right in my opinion. But if you pray to get what you want God may provide it for you but you have to actually work hard for it.

To me that is wrong.

It's again everybody's opinion, if that's how you take it then so be it, but we all know that there are still gamblers who thinks that they've been answered each time they win their bets. They'll keep doing it and try to imitate the results, some may think that they've being guided and the luck that they've getting came from someone who's more powerful.

Let it for those believers and if you are not,  then take your path and enjoy your way of gambling.

[BIN-BIN]

Gamblers always believe in luck, and if you are true gamblers, you will agree with the truth that gambling always involves prayers, most especially if you believe in the power of God.

[uneng]

Do you know that you gamble in order to get the money from someone without minding that it's their hard earned money?

But it's not a pray in order to have a successful robbery done.

Praying for a cause because you need help for good is understandable but praying for something that you want what they have is not right in my opinion.

Gamblers don't desire what belongs to others while playing. All the parts involved put some money from their own pockets under risk, trying to make profit from it. Since the moment they give away the money to enter the game, it is not their money anymore, let's see it as *neutral* money or nobody's money, until the result is revealed.
I think what is wrong is to desire someone else's car, house or even their life. That is the envious individual, but in gambling it doesn't work like that, because people agree in participating a game where both can be benefited or prejudiced in the end.

But if you pray to get what you want God may provide it for you but you have to actually work hard for it.

Yes, totally agree. But it's not possible to understand God's logic sometimes. I see many cases of gamblers who hit the jackpot, especially on the lottery and I can only think it wouldn't happen if God didn't allow it to happen. Maybe they deserved it for the past hard work, maybe they are being tested, who knows...

Sometimes our faith being tested in difficulties, but if we truly believed and trust Him we will be able to overcome the fears. Sometime we didn’t get what we wanted for us to strive harder in life in a better way. It’s true many believes and pray that gambling can help them to become rich or to win especially in lottery. Faith will help us but not maybe thru gambling, it can be in our job or in other stuff. Keep faith and believing everything should be fine as long as we keep our faith.

Gambling and prayers has got no part to themselves. As a religious person, Christianity to be precise, gambling is seen as a vice. At most in this century and as such, there is no way there could be gods and man influence to what doesn't agree.
Besides, how can god be partial to favour a side to a game of fairness because, that's what games are often about, fairness. 2 or more different sides contesting amongst themselves over whom is whom or what is what or over some staked price and as a gambler, your just lucky to partake in it and earn some cash if you can depending on how you know the game. Thoyhh sometimes, how well you know the game just doesn't apply.

It is more on person's religious beliefs why they are associating the prayer to their gambling habits. Prayer has nothing to do with the outcome of your games. If all will pray hard, will your "God" really influence the results? I don't think so. Most gambling games are based on luck and not from any form of prayer.  I guess, people are just using their own prayers to attract positive vibes but relying on prayer to win? That's not likely to happen.

Actually its just a belief but in reality you cannot attach god in gambling since even how harder you pray you cannot meet the result you want to get if you are in bad luck. And also god doesn't help gamblers to win so better not associate him in anything since gambling is a sin.

Also its better to rely on luck rather than prayers since its really crazy to play while praying  .

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?

Your thoughts is unique man, I praise you on that aspects that you also glorify our own God who made everything here in this world. Because, these people who also worked for a gambling industry literally made a living though gambling. Nobody can judge us, but only God in the first place not even the righteous person who live in this world. Basically if you'd pray seriously to our creator he would provide us the comfort and blessings that he promised in his words. Despite of gambling or whatsoever works of the earth God will always provide and wouldn't condemn his children.

It's like some religions say that gambling is a sin, so I also don't recommend playing gambling to connect with God. So it's better to stop linking
gambling activities with prayer, after all we pray to God asking to get profit from gambling sounds strange to me. Because for me playing gambling is
purely for entertainment, and I'm not obsessed with winning. So I never prayed to be able to win the gamble. My advice is to let each of us determine
our luck when playing gambling.

This is actually a belief on where people do really believe that divine intervention could really make out some difference into their gambling habit or activity
on where they do believe that it can give nor affect wining chance or being lucky which is really a very wrong mindset to have but since people do believe into something then let them be because its their choice and theyll soon realize that it wont work no matter how hard they would pray.
Just dont try to sue them out when you do saw someones is praying.lol

This is only stupidity of the people to believe that Prayers can save them from winning or losing Unless their Gods are a Gambler as well that will understand their desire for another stupid action.
Gambling is prohibited in many religion but i am curious if there is also a God that supports gambling?
thanks for the answers .

Maybe that is their habit before they gamble and they believe that when they pray to god, they will win the game and get a lot of money. If they know that will not give a good result at the end of playing gambling, they will not try to pray as their religion does not allow them to play gambling. But we can not do anything if they still do that as they believe about that and still doing that. As long as they pray without making noise, that will not be a problem for us.

Gamblers always believe in luck, and if you are true gamblers, you will agree with the truth that gambling always involves prayers, most especially if you believe in the power of God.

That's a bit over the top, I don't think discrediting yourself in favor of praising some invisible guy upstairs is a good thing, believe that your strategy works and that it's your doing that you win and not because of luck or a prayer.

No one knows where luck comes from and from whom, basically we just do what we can do and then maybe involve others so that we are lucky about winning or losing. So yeah, as long as they don't harm other people because of different beliefs I guess they are free to do it about praying or not in gambling, because we're just going to keep trying to do our best and about the outcome it can be good and bad and it's not always the same.

It's called luck

Nuh uh, I don't think that it's luck you know, it's more like a probability rather than luck, also if you are considering luck then you're discrediting your ability in a some way because you consider yourself as an agent of some invisible forces without any own will.
