They were after inside information on how to solve problems and sought the god's advice on how to deal with the problem, on the basis that the god knew.

The oracles were a fix by the custodians of the oracles. The fixers gave a double meaning to the oracles delivered, so they were right whichever way events went.

The city hosting the major oracle at Delphi had agents in all the main cities to get advance notice of upcoming questions so that they could cook up clever answers.
