To pray to win in gambling? I have seen people pray for their team to win, especially I saw that during football games or in the finals during penalty series. I think people do that more to calm down. They dont really pray and ask God for team to win. I dont believe prayers work for gambling. But if that is a ritual and it helps gambler to stay concentrated or motivated, then let him pray.

The thing about gambling and believe is that it will always contradict each other because imagine a penalty shoot out as you saying and then the both side starts to pray for their team to win so tell how well will that work seeing that each of them would most definitely want the win and same goes for someone prediction in a game, everyone wants to even the players that are playing the match for pray since they all have a believe system but the thing is that human wants will always contradict each other so there is high possibility that prayers will definitely not work.

If prayers are their ritual to concentrate, calm down and focus on what they are going to do next, then let them do it if they want to. People do different things as a ritual, as habit, even though it makes no sense. Let them do it, to get inner peace, to calm their nerves. Without hesitation I can say that there is nothing that can help to increase luck chance and predict random. If a person believe that prayers help him to win, let him continue believing in that. If someone believe that a hand clap helps to win, let him do that.
