Natural divination seems like a revelation you might want. Feel like being a nature oracle? Apparently the dual-cursed oracle doesn't get class skills from their mystery so that shouldn't make a difference.
Agent of Chance (SP) Once a day, when an adjacent ally makes a skill check and doesn’t like the result, you can allow him a reroll as an immediate action. Your ally must take the result of the reroll, even if it is worse than the original roll. Trait
Optimistic Gambler

You’ve always seemed to have trouble keeping money. Worse, you always seem to have debts looming over your head. When you heard about the “Cheat the Devil and Take His Gold” gambling tournament, you felt in your gut that your luck was about to change. You’ve always been optimistic, in fact, and even though right now is one of those rare times where you don’t owe anyone any money (you just paid off a recent loan from local moneylender Lymas Smeed), you know that’ll change soon enough. Better to start amassing money now when you’re at one of those rare windfall times! You’ve set aside a gold coin for the entrance fee, and look forward to making it big—you can feel it in your bones! This time’s gonna be the big one! Your boundless optimism, even in the face of crushing situations, has always bolstered your spirit. Effects that grant you morale bonuses persist 1d4 rounds longer than they normally would as a result.
Fortune (Su): The witch can grant a creature within 30 feet a bit of good luck for 1 round. The target can call upon this good luck once per round, allowing him to reroll any ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, taking the better result. He must decide to use this ability before the first roll is made. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. Once a creature has benefited from the fortune hex, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours.
Misfortune (Su): The witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
Chaos Domain
Granted Powers: Your touch infuses life and weapons with chaos, and you revel in all things anarchic.
Touch of Chaos (Sp): You can imbue a target with chaos as a melee touch attack. For the next round, anytime the target rolls a d20, he must roll twice and take the less favorable result. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
One thing not to forget is ill omen, as a dual cursed oracle you could cast it if your cha wasn't so low. it forces re-rolls against enemies. Obviously this isn't for you as you are an archer, but persistent spell metamagic, if you save, you must save again.
Level dip 1 level of cleric to get the domains
I really like this character concept, and it fits in really well with a character I was coincidentally just about to do. Here are some suggestions of my own.
Fortune hex isn't fabulous by itself... but that's why you have Cackle. As a move action each round, you can potentially keep the fortune hex going forever.
Make sure you get yourself a vorpal weapon when possible, since you're likely to be rolling lots of 20s. Since you're going Desna, the starknife is a good thematic choice since it's a slashing melee weapon that can also be thrown and it's your favoured weapon anyway.
Take the adopted trait to pick up numerological gift.
Inquisitors get a domain anyway, so sticking with Luck is good idea. Sadly Inquisitors benefit from high wisdom, otherwise you'd be able to get Quicken Spell-like ability on Bit of Luck. Something to keep in mind though if you don't mind having an inquisitor with no spells or can find an archetype that swaps the casting ability.
It'd be tough to fit it in, but Fateful channel is nice. Adding Quick Channel on top of that would be well worth it.

I might as well mention it- you want a friend that is an iroran paladin.
Why?...because if you are going around getting a ton of rerolls and being a famous gambler, then someone is going to try to stop you using the same methods. To deal with that, you want this:
At 3rd level, an Iroran paladin is immune to any effect that would force him to reroll a die against his will or roll twice and take the lower result. Whenever an ally within 10 feet of him would reroll a die against her will, she can roll twice and take the higher result. Whenever an ally within 10 feet would be forced to roll twice and take the lower result, she can instead roll three times and take the second-lowest result. This ability functions only while the Iroran paladin is conscious, and replaces aura of courage.
That helps to mitigate people using forced rerolls on you, like with misfortune hex.
And luckily for you, your iroran paladins are encouraged to write their own codes (since there is no single way to enlightenment), and as such you can get someone a bit more....flexible than the usual paladin.
So yeah, just have your friend there, backing you up as a body guard and guarding your luck as well.

If you could play Catfolk in PFS, then I would suggest grabbing the Black Cat feat; anytime an enemy lands a blow on you, as an immediate action you can force them to reroll with a -4 penalty. But again, this is PFS, and thus you cannot play Catfolk.
Also, most PFS characters retire after Level 10, and you can only keep playing via superdungeons and adventure paths... Though you could always migrate your character to home play.
