Lot of religious talk lately. I wonder if any guys say a prayer or a blessing before hitting "confirm. God works miracles. Look at Tebow. I can remember a game denver vs chicago. I had denver and chicago was up. All they had to do was run out the clock. One more first down and would have been able to run the clock out. Forte runs for the first down but fumbles and denver recovers. Kicks a fg and wins. I know many remember this game. Surely God did this. Maybe prayer is the key. I am going to try this. Maybe a thread. Says no where in the bible that gambling is bad or a sin. Amen

"No servant can serve two masters. [Jesus said.] Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (Luke 16:13, NIV)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. (1 Timothy 6:10, NIV)

#4I dont agree with the analogy. Drugs are bad. And dont help you become prosperous. Gambling winnings help you become proserous.Comment -

#6Both are an addiction that are detrimental to your health. Drugs can be good to, but when abused, they are not. Gambling when abused, can cause all sorts of problems. Moderation won't create a problem, but excessive gambling will cause all sorts of negative side effects.Comment -

#7Seaweed i dont see a direct mention of gambling. Preachers are rich and they pray a lot. Like the guy in the bahamas that died yesterday in the plane crash. Pastor had his own lear jet. Tracer wants a leer jet too.Comment -

#13I pray to be the best I can be, to make good decisions, stay out of trouble (I ain't eva goin back to jail), and to spread happiness to the ones I care about.
And trust me, when I'm winning, it's much easier to spread happiness to those I care about.Comment -

#14Once when I was overbetting I got down and got mad and decided to go Martingale to get it back. I prayed to the Gambling Gods that if they were benevolent, I would never bet stupid again. Put it on the under on Baylor-Oklahoma State and it cashed. I credit them for the win along with the 28 degree weather. Thank you Gambling Gods, Oh Mighty Ones!!Comment -

#26There's gotta be a saint out there that you can pray to that would be a better option. Patron saint of chance, or opportunity, or something like that.
Depending on what it's for, I pray to different saints. Based on the idea that God doesn't have time for my BS, and the saints are probably just happy somebody remembered them. Hey, it's just as plausible as anything else out there.Comment -

#28i do not think it is right to ask god to make you win a specific wager. That is not something you should ask for.
However i see nothing wrong with asking god to give you the brain power, confidence, and knowledge to trust your gut and handicap games to your best ability so that you can reach your full potential and later give back to the community.
Just remember to stay humble. Always give thanks and dont take shit for granted.Comment -

#34It is really amazing at the response of many when the word "GOD" is mentioned.....Many deny, make insecure jokes,act tough but are just separated from "OUR CREATOR" our "SOURCE", the "UNIVERSE"..... Be CAREFUL because when you are very low and in a very bad place and down on your knees,,,,THERE IS ONLY ONE SOURCE TO TURN TO AND THE OMNIPOTENT IS ALWAYS THERE AND ALWAYS FAITHFUL.Comment -
