Prayer and gambling.

[Silberman]

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

One's belief over something has something to do with you.The moment you belief something works for you, and you heed to that particular thing,it will surely work.Same is applicable to gambling,if you always win when you say  a prayer,the moment your mind is on that thing and trust it,there is every possibility tgat, that particular game will play you person.

This is more of psychological feeling on things. Though prayer has nothing to do with the results. It is the belief that prayer can help you about your gambling results. So yes, it depends on the person himself. As everyone here has different beliefs and cultural upbringing, the opinions here vary. Just make sure that you are not harming anyone by your own personal beliefs.

Therefore, I am one of those people who do not like to associate prayer with the gambling results that are obtained. But if there are people who
believe praying can affect the outcome of gambling, I won't blame them. Because as you said everyone has their own personal beliefs, we should
all be able to respect each other. Don't let differences of belief become problems and debates.

That's only a coincidence.

Only a few religion that allows gambling to their members but most of the religions, they're contrary to gambling.

So if someone prays for his wins and he won, that's just a concidence and that makes him luckier than the others.

It is incredibly common especially among the regulars that you see at the casino, people will hold objects and rituals that according to them brings them luck but this is simply not true, luck cannot be manipulated and we know this is in fact a principle of the nature, so all of those people are just wasting their time by doing it but since it brings them calm and a sense of control they keep doing it even if deep down many know this has no effect on their gambling success.

As long you dont harm anyone then i dont see anything wrong on someone do following something neither superstition belief or just simply praying to their Gods for them to win into their gambling activity.
I dont know why on why do really make this a big issue because this would really be varying on someones own belief because not all would really be having the same which means it can neither
they would believe or not but on general sense then theres no way for luck to be influenced by something specially in gambling or even on simple decisions on life.
If you do find out that when you do pray and won then its up to your experience and would continue on doing it.

The issue is that while it is unlikely that they are going to harm anyone else with those beliefs it is possible they will harm themselves in the process, after all if they really believe they can affect the outcomes of the games by praying or by any other action on their part then it is possible they are going to make bets that are simply too high thinking that sooner or later they will win and recover the money they lost, only to lose it all since their beliefs about controlling the outcomes of the games were completely mistaken.

Would vary on gamblers mindset because not all would be having the same behavior towards their gambling activity.Some would really be keen or good in handling out their funds allocated for gambling and there are some who do really likes to go all in whenever they do saw that they can really take advantage on a certain bet which i can say that it is a common behavior for most people who do engage with gambling.Prayer neither do works or not but i agree that prayer or divine things doesnt really connect out with gambling or even on simple request in life situation doesnt guaranteed that it would be granted.
Humans are way just easily to believe into something that it might work on the activity they are doing.

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.

Indeed. It is ironic how gamblers pray before placing bets whereas in the Bible, there are teachings that talk about the sin being made by the people when they get involved in gambling and any other vices. But of course, we all have no rights to judge other people since we all have our fair of committing sins, we all have equally sinned.

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, what I experienced was that praying before gambling could bring me victory because I could play in a relaxed, calm and free manner and everything could be controlled well.
prayer can only bring calm in playing and we can control ourselves in playing and there is only a different air, not because God gives full victory but only getting calm in playing which will facilitate the opportunity to win, and it all depends on the desired prayer and it's good ask for peace in playing and so on.

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

[dbc23]

People sticks to what works for them. Most gamblers do diabolic things before placing a bet some go as far as during rituals so seeing people of a different orientation bowing their head to mutter words before placing a bet shouldn't really be a thing of much surprise because most times it works for them with massive wins

[YuginKadoya]

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.
