If you think that praying will give you better odds, you're delusional.
Most religions don't condone gambling so why the hell would they respond to prayers in gambling? That absolutely makes no sense.
But empirically there is no correlation - everything is mathematically determined and has nothing to do with your psychology, and the odds are stacked against you due to that.
I'm not sure about that, because if most religions don't condone gambling, then how come gambling itself can grow in so many countries with different religions and cultures as well?
I would probably believe if, most religions forbid gambling then gambling would not grow. But what happened is very different from the reality because even gambling has entered the realm of business which of course there are still many religions that do not prohibit gambling, right?
Therefore, when they pray in gambling then maybe their religion doesn't forbid gambling, so there is nothing wrong about that because they have different beliefs too and we will not know about their religious affairs.
There is a confusion here. The confusion of Grace and luck. Most religion don’t even condone gambling. They discredit gambling and think of it as the work of the Devil. Some people might pray to their god or anything that they worship before playing a bet. If the the outcome comes out positive, they think the god answered their prayer and they keep doing that. Personally, that’s LUCK. It just naturally happened. But some will think you’re graced yo win a certain bet or something. Gambling is a game of luck. Because most religion Prohibit on gambling so I think it is not a good thing.
