In regard to the soldier's gambling for Jesus' clothes, here are some thoughts from Blomberg:
"Only John sees a fulfillment of Scripture [here], suggesting that it was not the Old Testament that inspired the Gospel writers to invent details of Christ's passion narrative but rather the Gospels writers in different ways looking back on the events of the passion and finding Old Testament parellels in various places"
"John introduces two separate garments where the Old Testament [Psalm 22:18] speaks only of clothing in general and saying nothing about a seamless robe. An inventor of fiction would probably have made the 'prophecy' and its fulfillment correspond more exactly (Bruce)"
