Does prayers really work in gambling?

[Silikiem]

I consider prayer don't work at all, be it in job, in health or in gambling, it give zero result.

It just make your heart feel calm and think you're with someone else that could help you, while the reality there's no difference whether you pray or not.

This would be funny if the gambler is a Muslim, gambling is forbidden in Islam, if they pray for breaking their rules, it doesn't mean gambling become halal or less haram lol.

I'm not a religious person but I don't think your idea on this is actually correct...just because you don't believe in a particular thing doesn't mean that it doesn't work or exist..praying to change gambling outcomes is not really a mature thing or should.i say logical thing for anybody to even think of doing...Gambling is a game of luck and it doesn't require prayers like other important aspects of life

For sure, gambling is strictly on luck and not prayer. If someone thinks prayer works in gambling then for how long do you think that the prayer can lead you to always win. You might be thinking that it’s as a result of your prayer and that’s why the gamble is won, until you decide to gamble again for the next round and the third round that’s when you’ll realize that it’s not your prayer but it was all luck. If prayer works in gambling then many people will be winning always and consecutively without losing.

Yesterday being Sunday I was somewhere hanging out with some of my old time friends, we were all having good time together which off course all work without play makes jack a dull boy that is a popular saying, however we decided playing some game's to complete the whole fun so we went straight to the casino centre but funny enough one of my friend made a short prayer before proceeding and I was like "Frank" what did you just did? he told me he just finished praying because praying before gambling have been working for him over the years.

 However that single act of his has kept me wondering if really prayers can possibly affect positively or influence gambling activities in one's favour? So what's your take, do you think or believe prayers has a significant role to play in a bet or is not possible and shouldn't be given a trial.

I don't subscribe to that. I don't see prayer having any relationship with gambling. It's either yiu win it loose. When you gamble or have placed a bet, if you are lucky and they play as you predicted, you become a winner, but it not, you try again next time. Even with our numerous checks and statistical findings, we still fail or loose out bets, so it isn't by prayer, I think it's just by LICK, not by prayer

At times I feel there are some threads that shouldn’t transcend your reasoning and don’t need to be discussed really else, why would you explain about religion and gambling in this context.

At the very least, religion haven’t being a big fan of gambling, they’ve been head down on it to be the cause of several illicit acts in the society.

Meanwhile, those who are actively participating in sporting activities as well as gamblers too do pray and with that, how biased would God be or whatever you serve to turn the tides in your favour… of course it’s not going to be the case and would always be just you, your predictions and luck.

But do you believe in luck playing a major role in the success of gamblers? Because if you believe in luck then you ought to also believe in prayer if only you are a true Christian that believes in the power of prayers. Because for the fact that praying before gambling worked for Mr. A,  that does not warrant that if Mr B tries it it will work. Hence, I'm one individual that has a strong conviction that whatever you believes in and work towards it, has a tendency of manifesting itself in real life. Example, just as believing in praying and also head towards learning how to analyze bets and predict games. However, don't get me wrong, because prayer alone can't produce positive result. But it is prayer and hardwork that does.

And you really think or believe that there are not spiritual side and aid to a life of being lucky right? If some people get their selves involved in all manner of fetish lifestyles likes performing sacrifices and rituals just to attract good luck, you really think prayer can't do the same for someone who believes In it?

Well, I perfectly understand who all are entitled to our different opinions and each person's opinions is simply based on his or her level of understanding of spiritual matters, and personally, I believe prayer can work in gambling, because as a Christian, I believe that if God wants to actually bless a person through gambling, He can and will.

For me I think its that same luck that keeps working for him whenever he prayers, I can't possibly say it's the prayer that keeps helping him even though he have been wining when he pray before going to the gambling shop. And if I May ask does it mean that he usually make winings from gambling? Because if what he said is true he would definitely do it whenever he wants to go into gambling so that luck will come as usual, though I can't really say that prayer doesn't work in gamble of course it works but not often.

We all have our beliefs and faith, how we approach things and all, if that do really work for him then he should keep it up, I think it all boils down to what u believe.
I won't say outright that this is right or wrong, I mean, what do I know, I'm so limited in knowledge, but if it works fine, and if u try it and it doesn't work for u, fine too

Everyone has the right to believe in what they want that's true but if we are going to be realistic about it if anyone thinks they are getting positive results from gambling because they are praying it means that they sre delusional. you cannot pray your way out of losses...If anyone believes that they are winning and what's working for them is prayers then they don't have a rational mind

Your argument is that they are wasting their time because prayers have nothing to do with gambling. Most of these religious people strongly believe that there is a Supreme Being who controls the affairs of their lives, including their gambling activities. The general view should be to let everyone believe what they like, after all, we all enjoy freedom of worship. Telling them that they are delusional might be offensive because it might be misconceived as an attack on their faith.

Yes everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. I would have to say though that for those who do believe, I wound't be praying for this thing or that thing or to win instead pray for wisdom! Wisdom is more precious than money and can most certainly be used to aquire a vast fortune. The person who can supply sound wisdom is so crucial to have in your corner.

Miracles can happen in gambling and that is when your luck shines and you win, if you don't win it means that your luck didn't happen yet, prayers has nothing to do with it. I believe in prayers but I don't know how far it works in competitions because the two competitors can be praying to win in their challenge and who's prayer should God answer. Gambling is somebody's business who needs your lose to make profit and you need a win to take money off the casino owner, I don't think that God involves in such things. He listens to prayers when people are in genuine needs not when you intentionally put your money on the line to increase it almost instantly knowing the implication that you can lose it.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Most likely, he simply convinced himself that prayer was helping him. There's a cognitive distortion whereby a person accepts only the evidence from reality that confirms their point of view. Opposing arguments are simply ignored, dismissed as "randomness." This is confirmation bias. On the other hand, perhaps prayer can help him concentrate on the game, and this can actually improve his performance by a tiny fraction of a percent.

Honestly I laughed when I saw this thread because I do it sometimes too, how stupid I am, obviously it won't help or change the result but somehow I always pray that I win the bet, I think it's just to calm myself down and doesn't have any effect at all

honestly it’s true that when people are in trouble they start praying in different ways just to get out of it. and naturally when someone gambles there is only one goal to win. so it’s not just you at all. a few days ago i was about to lose a big amount of money but somehow i ended up winning even though i really wasn’t supposed to. at that moment i prayed in every possible way hoping i would win. was it because of the prayer or just fate i honestly don’t know. but it did happen to me. and afterward i was really surprised thinking how did that even happen. still praying for something bad is kind of stupid but people do it anyway just to calm themselves down.

You never can tell how prayers works at times that's why never you undermine the power of prayers,  though it might sound very fun but if we most times depends on luck to see us through just as been stated above  then their is also every possibility that prayers can also work out for you if you believe, moreover their is no limit of what prayers can't do and gambling isn't exempted hence it's not evil or what will be of harm to other persons.

Furthermore, their is no point disputing the faith or belief of people and how they choose applying it to their daily activities, however I feel it is best applying prayer to perfect  every effort been put out.

Prayer, in my opinion, plays a calming role. First of all, it helps us distract ourselves from emotional tension and calm ourselves down. I don’t really believe in various spells or prayers, but still, in moments when you want something to help you, certain words and thoughts in your head begin to sound like a kind of prayer.

[Woodie]

Lol I don't know why this sounds funny, but to be honest I think everyone has to believe in something, if people believe in luck why shouldn't others believe in prayers to get this going their way Let people do what works for them, but without sugar coating anything I think let's say as is.. if the game isn't in your favour or you aren't good at the game things won't go your way for sure .

This statement irritates me so much,  let's people do what works for them, this believe has destroyed so many Lifes, instead of telling people what's right to do, we let them do that works for them. If kidnapping works for people we should allow them to continue and face our lifes, one that  evil  you allow people to do because it works for them will turn around to hurt you.

In gambling prayers has no role, because it's not a spiritual welfare it's a lucky game and controlled by men. Anything that are controls by men should be a thing we should be smart about instead of praying, how many gamblers can testify that they prayed and they're losing tickets turned to winning tickets. It can't happen, we pray for miracles, in gambling there's no miracle because it's unpredicted.  Prayer doesn't work in gambling, don't waste your time so you won't be disappointed when you pray and nothing happens, you will be forced to question the maker.

Wow, I just learned about a gambler who prays before gambling. Personally, I don't pray before gambling. I think it would be dangerous if I lost, which would mean I'd blame my prayer, and maybe others would too, right? So, I wouldn't pray before gambling. Maybe, what your friend meant was that he's been able to gamble calmly all this time, because he prayed. I know prayer is a good way to have a positive effect on our mental health, and sometimes I do it after gambling, especially after losing, and it really helps.

There are many countries where people are not full of skepticism, but rather strongly believe in superstition, and are also quite religious.
Typically, these are not the most advanced countries in the world in terms of technological progress, and typically, gambling is allowed in these countries because it is one of the best sources of income for the government, usually shadow income.
And people in such strange situations, when gambling, do often resort to prayer. But most likely, this is just a psychological ploy for self-soothing, because prayers are unlikely to somehow influence the results of physical slots, if we're talking about a brick-and-mortar casino, or algorithms, if we're talking about online gambling. Personally, I don't believe in any of this.

Even with the prayers, it's not all who pray that their prayers are being answered. They say prayer without faith doesn't really work, so even if it were possible for prayer to lead, not everyone's prayers would be able to secure winning. Talk more of how prayer doesn't work; all they need to do is predict and hope for luck to perform its magic. If it doesn't work, they take it that way.

For me, prayer is a way for us to commune with God because we have something we sincerely want to express to Him, so that means it's not applicable to gambling. This is because, in the first place, the majority of gamblers believe in luck, meaning they accept that they might win or lose, just simple as that.

Unless some gamblers perform or use a ritual or ceremony before they pray, or it could also be that some gamblers rely on the amulets they carry, which they believe will help
them win in their gambling.
