I did once thinking I would win and got buried, I have never done it again. I lit candles and everything praying to the Lord for winners that one Sunday when I was down $9500 to a tough bookmaker. I am still ashamed for using the church that way.

You'll have better luck trying to locate the time travel car from Back to the Future 2. If you recall Biff, received the Sports Almanac from his older self. He used this to place winning wagers.

Although Marty McFly eventually stole the Almanac back from Biff......

JJ I honestly said a prayer to God for the Colts to cover last week, and they pushed. I think I did myself a disservice because while I remained a devout catholic all throughout the week, I started to get cocky as they took a 17 pt lead and all it went in the shitter. Maybe it's because the last time I stepped in a church was for some chicks wedding, and I only did that so I could attend the reception after for the open bar.

[CrazyLou]

JJ I forgot to mention that when the Colts took that 17 pt lead, I ripped the cross off my neck and stomped on it. Did you do something similar only to have your team blow it's lead?

[jjgold]

using the church is a no no, I think more guys do this and it is not good.

But JJ YOU have two options, the Church OR the Synagogue .

Don't Jew gamblers ask for a little help from above when in need of a cover?

lucky for you they pushed, it could have been worse.

[goldengoat]

jj i think if you cursed less during your prayers you would get better results

[zootiehead]

I did say a prayer for the Bengals this morning.

[curious]

So you are praying to a fantasy character from a book of myths and legends to help you win bets on football? And people in this forum think that I am crazy.

[capitalist pig]

I always say a prayer before I go surfing, some thing like "Dear lord please dont let me get eaten today by a shark". I was in the water once when a guy was killed by a Bull Shark here, its not something you ever forget.Other than that I wouldnt ask God to take a side on a wager of mine, just doesnt feel right.

It shouldn't feel right because it is not right. Don't do, let God do more important things than pad our pockets with lucky picks.

One thing I know is that there are more prayer said in a Las Vegas sportsbook on a Sunday than you'll ever see in a church.....

[DaveRabbit]

I use to take a female acquaintance to a sportsbook with me, and right when it was tight and about to finish she use to start praying for my picks, at first it was comical but then I had to tell her to stop - she was giving me bad luck.

Like JJ says don't do it guys.

[CrazyLou]

Thank you for sharing Jim

[Starion]

LOL......oh man that was hillarious. I gambled at a casino over Easter weekend this past year and got KILLED. I'll NEVER do that again. I think it's best to save prayers for more important things than gambling.

It must've been for a better draft pick


Personally, I don't think God watches football.
