Does prayers really work in gambling?

[Ziskinberg]

It doesn't work on me, maybe on you. But I suggest you not try it because you will only be disappointed.
Religious belief has nothing to do with gambling, nor does it influence results. I could just imagine if all our prayers were heard, everyone would come to praise God. I'm certain of that. Unfortunately, not all do, and so I don't believe in someone's winning because of their faith and prayers.

I believe we have to separate gambling from any religious belief—that's to show some respect.

I read a few replies here and there on each page and I am surprised by the amount of Members saying they are religious and praying before Gambling.  These two do not match.  I would understand if you prayed to the God of your religion to help you stop an addiction, to help you be sane et cetera, but praying for more Money is kind of funny to me and sounds very incompatible with pretty much all of the religions I know of.

Praying before gambling isn't a guarantee of winning. Essentially, if we're unlucky, I don't think any strategy or ritual we employ while betting will guarantee victory. In gambling, luck is the key to victory. Your friend's remarks might just be a joke, because sometimes when we're hanging out, some of our friends often joke around to lighten the mood.
Praying before doing something can sometimes have positive results, but I don't think this applies to gambling.

Let me say this one boldly. PRAYING BEFORE GAMBLING DOES NOT MAKE YOU WIN. Luck is still the boss in gambling and if your day is bad luck no amount of prayers or retuals can change it. At first you need to know that gambling is not an act that is encouraged by God, as a result, any form of prayer will change your luck which is actually your destiny. If it already destined that you will lose no matter how long your prayer is, it won't change your destiny whether positively or negatively. I guess your friend saying everyone should pray first was just a joke to make everybody and feel good before gambling and not because it will bring any true effect.

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 agree with that and off course prayers doesn't work in gambling and I think he is mistaken or confusing luck to prayer and I believe he has just been fortunate enough to be winning any time he finished praying and if prayer do work in gambling I believe by now most pastors would have turned gamblers and they would have been winning all the time because of their faith but it doesn't work that way. Gambling is pure luck and nothing more and that's what I believe in.

Prayers work not in increasing the odds of your bets but in keeping you grounded on how you bet in the first place.

To be honest, I consider prayers as part of superstitious beliefs that a player may employ during his gambling habit. If you feel like praying helps you regain your composure and keeps you grounded on your bets, then feel free to utilize any method in order for you to stay rational. But if you're asking if prayer can increase the odds on your favor- then it is a huge NO.

Like what I mentioned above, you can put prayers in the same category as a superstitious belief where you employ different methods to keep you positive or to cling onto something. Some people pray to their respective gods before they bet; some even bring their lucky charm with them because they believe it increases the odds of them winning.

At the end of the day, any method can be considered as a superstitious belief as long as it helps you keep being grounded from your decisions and habit.

[abaeze]

There is a proverb "Faith brings people closer, the argument drives them apart". Whatever it is, surely everyone has understood its meaning. When people have faith, then work and understanding are easy, it is easy to make decisions. If someone thinks that he has got it or won because of faith, then he should not destroy that faith. However, if we think practically, then everything will depend on his luck, that is, if he has good luck, he will be able to win and if he has bad luck, he will not be able to win. Because in a casino, there is no place or option to use his intelligence.

Yes, this is also funny to me, because they seem to be mixing two different things. I also pray, but I pray while working or doing other activities, but I don't gamble because I feel it's unethical. Gambling is just gambling; it doesn't have to involve prayer or anything sacred.

I think all religions discourage gambling, so I personally don't think it's necessary. We shouldn't mix different things, it's better to be wise in our choices.

I really don't see how prayers has any role in gambling as in my opinion, it simply does not. Obviously, people have different ways on how to cope as well as go about doing things. I haven't really heard about anyone saying a prayer before going ahead to gamble as it sounds quite strange and if you ask me, ridiculous. OP, you should have asked if he hasn't had a single loss since he found the prayer hack he uses whenever he goes gambling.
If you're lucky, you get some winnings, if you're not, you lose. That's mostly it. Prayers has nothing to do with it. That said, I also see nothing wrong with it cause if you're convinced praying helps you in some sort to gamble and win, then by all means, continue to do so.

You're right. Even at the Bible it is mentioned that "The love of money is the root of all evil" and here are some gambling addict begging God to let his bet wins. I also find some local gambling content creators here funny because everytime they hit big they always say "Thank you lord" then proceed to lose all the money  . I'm not very religious but yeah praying for gambling is a no no.

No one can say whether prayer works in gambling or not. But generally speaking, I will say that it sometimes works and sometimes does not. That is why there is no way to be sure about this prayer. If someone wants to bet by praying, there is no way to stop him. Maybe he will win in that bet or he may lose. If prayer really worked in gambling, then of course everyone who prays a lot would be able to own a lot of wealth. Now, whoever feels comfortable doing that to win in gambling should do that, at least by doing this, he will be able to control his emotions.

[armanda90]

Put something at the right place, prayer is really not work in gambling due all religion not allow gambling and how come this ideas appear here beginning prayer before start gambling? Its give zero result if you want to pray before gambling although you won just luckiness only not effort yet or your praying. Pray for your healthy, your job get well and pray for your business can running well for long term and stop bad ideas pray for gambling.

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.

So funny for Muslim with gambling is forbidden but praying for gambling fully make God laughing with our joke, just make gambling as fun only and not really serious way have to pray before start gambling exactly for Muslim gambling not allow yet and leaving at the country dominance with Muslim have regulation about gambling not allow yet. Praying for haram is bad thing if you can't avoid your self from gambling please don't try to pray for bad thing.

Whatever a person comes to do in this life is either gambling or any other things it’s good to start with prayer. Because the prayer is the key to every of our success, and after prayer is luck so even though a person have experience about the gambling of the luck doesn’t come his way it will hard to win a single bet; prayer alone has a many significant roles.

There are those that has been a while in a gambling and also have many experiences about how the works but that doesn’t mean their not lose to a gambling, they are the once who lose big amounts of money in gambling; talk less of those that don’t have any experience and they refuse to add the prayers only depend on the luck.

[Achalugo BTC]

Normally prayer is the key, but doesn't mean you won't make your own research and analyze before betting. It's a matter of what you believe because it could be that your friend is the lucky type that normally have luck in gambling, but the only thing I would advise you is that, don't be carried away by following someone else in gambling because humans are not the same. Always gamble with the amount you can afford to lose because what might work for you, might not work for another person.

Exactly prayer do work, especially if one is in trouble but even though prayers help him to be lucky and wins whenever they gamble. But that doesn't mean that he will have to neglect or against the instructions of gambling and be hoping that he will win, which he will not because he has go against the law, and in this case, he might be push to chase after his losses because he gamble without following the instructions and gambling irresponsibly do comes with side effects.
That is why, it's proper for gamblers to always have the habit of self-control or discipline and also with the amount they can afford to lose, so that even though they pray their prayer will work. In my own perspective though.

I do know that there are so any religions out there that are typically against gambling so it is very strange to see a believer of one of such religion praying before indulging in an act that is said to be forbidden by their religion.. i personally do believe in the freedom of practicing any religion and  i also believe that regardless of your religion, whatever it is that works for you and hurts no one, it is okay to go ahead with it, if praying does work for you, it doesn't matter to me if they may want to see it as strange i see it as okay for you to go ahead to do it, that is your lucky charm for the casino and i see it as okay to explore that so that the fun you intend having will be full in the end.

Praying is not a bad thing but if people accept it as the key to sure win then the problem starts because gambling is basically a game of probability so here luck, analysis and risk will be everything and therefore if you make decisions relying only on prayer then disappointment will increase. So I think you should know your limits and play with a budget and not with any kind of emotion because prayer can give inspiration and bring peace to the mind but that alone cannot give you a sure win.

Gambling is based off luck and I don’t think that praying can guarantee you successful gambling win. The whole market is very unpredictable and you’ll only take home whatever outcome that comes from your gambled game.

Your friend feels that when he prays he has more luck in winning, I’ll just say that’s fate and when you have one, you’ll always believe in the outcome as your will to have prayed before gambling, which made you win.

Anything that has to do with divine intervention, then maybe it is not of us to actually judge the outcomes, let God do that since they’ve putting their hope in him and that he’ll make them win when they gamble.

[giammangiato]

True that prayer with gambling and winning are things that don't match.
One thing comes to mind, religiously speaking, who can be certain that God of any religion in the world can grant a wish to win?
If that much sought-after win by a player (wants to do charity work, is it his first time playing or is he not a regular player, is desperate to pay for care for a family member, and anything else noble the money may serve) who can say if God does not grant that win?
I believe that none of us can be certain of this.
Be careful, I also think that prayer is one thing and gambling is another, but if we reflect on what I just wrote, who has the confidence to say that prayer is nullified by gambling?

Prayer is faith, strength of mind and peace of mind. When a good person does a good deed, he prays that the deed will be done well, just as a thief when he steals prays that he will not be caught stealing. Sometimes the thief succeeds in stealing and sometimes he gets caught. The same is true in gambling. Just because your friend won that time does not mean that he will win again and again, and it does not mean that he will lose again and again.

Of course, but players who prayed and won will still increasingly convince themselves that it works and will always work. This has a downside: for example, the player will become so confident that at some point they'll bet a lot of money on it and lose. Praying won't help them later, but it will be too late, although they might try to start over. In any case, I don't believe this, because players are willing to believe anything just to win, not to lose. In general, I will never pray to win; it's better to spend time improving my understanding and skills in the game.

Nothing really guarantees winning, so you should not bet beyond your means, believing in something impossible and miraculous, it would be a completely wrong decision. Everything is uncertainty, and going for this uncertainty is so exciting and also harmful "if it is handled incorrectly". That is why the main thing is not to be a blind believer, you may think that you can achieve big wins, and because of this wrong belief you will bet a large amount, which will lead to a very large loss, and it will only be lost and you will never be able to recover it.
