For example... If I pray to God to let me win in a game of pool, but so does my opponent... Who does God answer?

God hears all prayers, that doesn't mean he grants you what you pray for. God knows what's best and has the perfect timing for everything.

This is why spells to win the lottery will not work. Too many people asking for the same thing -- the energy of the spell is diffused every which way.
Unless in dire need of the money that is being bet (if any) I'd never bother the God and Goddess with something as trivial as a pool game. My humble opinion.

First of all...God answers ALL prayers. However, he answers them on his time. If you pray to win a game of pool and so does your opponent. God will help you win one and then the next time it will be the other guys turn.

God is every where and 'listens' to everybodys prayers. I don't think that God is going to help a person gain monetary wealth such as winning a football pool or the lottery that is all luck. We make our own wealth and happiness. God is there for guidance and strength.

First you need to know that not all prayers are answered. You just need to meet God's requirement for your answers to be answered. A lot of people pray but not all are being answered. "sin" has blocked those prayers that's why God can't hear them. You need first to check your heart before you come to God. If it's not right God won't give you youre hearts desire.
Let God clean your heart first, but you need to ask. Ask God to forgive your sins and make your hearts right before Him. Accept that you've sinned and accept Jesus in your hearts.
Try it. It will work.

Everyone's prayers are heard. God has the power to answer everyone's prayers. God knows what is good and what is not for evry single person. God bless you.

God only answers the prayers of those who are saved by His grace; born again Christians. He does NOT hear the prayers of the unsaved. If you have confessed your sins to God and turned to Christ for salvation, then God will hear your prayers. If you haven't, He doesn't hear you.

God hears all prayers. He answers all prayers, too, but some people don't listen. But in thst scenario, he'd probably be like "Yeah, right! I love you, but there are more important things in life. Why don't you go try to fix that hole in the ozone layer? You know, the ozone layer that I GAVE YOU AND YOU BURNED A HOLE IN IT?"

God isn't a genie, he "answers" the prayer of the player who is supposed to win in the grand scheme of things. He doesn't do everything JUST because you ask.

Those who believe God, worship God, obey His commands and live their life by God's rules, God accepts their prayers also.

If God is like a father, I bet he would hear and breathe a quiet sigh and disregard petty requests to help his children cheat at pool.
