Hard to said this but we must be truth to ourself. Gambling is the most risky among all the investments ventures and it is really very difficult for you to continue making profits. I believe that currently we should not hesitate to make this prayers that God should put his favor on us and for us to keep making many winning trade than 2018.
You sound like more superstition than practical. Controlling gambling and making profits from it are always beyond our control hence I'm not thinking it will be possible to make profits from gambling by praying to God. Will our God bless us to make easy money ? I do not think so because being lazy is prohibited in most of the religions. That is the reason gambling is being considered as one of the sin in most of the religions. Being lucky is completely different from what you are referring because to make profits from gambling you need to have your luck to favor you all the times which is completely impossible because that will make anyone to be more lazy.no matter, how many times you pray or something, it won't really chance the odds because God doesn't answer prayers like that.
Yes, God will not respond on their own reasons :-). If praying will be working on this way then it must be an easiest way to bankrupt all the gambling houses
