The History Of Gambling.

[Naficopa]

Gambling being a stress buster is true, but it is not with everyone. Because the person who wins a day and losses the rest of the days in a month will have a thinking I've been losing everyday. This is a stress, and his mind always have a thought of recovering it and it is stress and doesn't look like a stress buster.

I fail to understand how people deal with stress. If I had to go such kind of stress - I will surly fall ill, depressed and  anxious.
Loosing money and dealing with the anxiety is not an easy thing.
Those who deal with it are surly people with great nerves.

It is true that gambling can make you stressed, but let's not forget that there are also a lot of people who gamble precisely because they are under stress. In that respect, the term stress has 2 meanings. First form can take disastrous forms because it involves high amounts that can be gambled through. Eventually you end up in a vicious circle if you keep gambling. I think that gambling in an online casino gives a very different stress and relaxation than in a physical casino. At home you are in your own environment and you can also generate your own music and background.

I don't think gambling is going to die I think gambling will grow in popularity as time goes by not now for the sake of popularity I think as long as it lives people will be attracted to it but when it comes to a change in its fortunes but it's there  There are times when one has lost everything by gambling and if it is gambling then it is right to bet myself whether I will gain or lose.

The truth is that people love to take risks, in fact I would say that it is one of the main factors of why our civilization has progressed until this point, people have taken all kind of immense risks, like seeing what was behind a mountain, crossing oceans and even going to space, none of those things were safe bets but people still did them as the reward for doing so was huge, so it is natural that people love to gamble as it is part of our nature.

The fact that gambling has already been established even in our ancient times, then there’s no escaping in it anymore. We would see gamblers in all corners of the world, and some are pros while others are still newbies. However, in life, people would always fall into gambling if they don’t know the proper approach to make. But for people who have proven strategies and skills to win, they will always tend to live life easier and more profitable despite of life’s uncertainties.

I totally agree with the comments that say gambling is ingrained in our DNA (humans) since ancient time. In gambling there will always be a loser and a winner, then it thinks gambling is bad imo is a wrong thought.

Gambling is a strong thing to do and using gambling to generate money is under probability because it's something of risk. Because when looking at gambling section or gambling activity you will see that gambling is not bad because with gambling you can see as well make a good home and make good investment because gambling is an opportunity of meeting up a standard with another people who is living above you, so gambling is nice to play

I thought that gambling is old, but that much i couldn't even imagine!

Gambling is old enough. And prediction of gambling and the history of gambling is something that nobody will just get it accurately because all these things they are doing and saying none of them list the origin and the factor of gambling from them scrash or From the starting.

Indian and Chinese are very famous for gambling. They gamble for the sake of their satisfaction and money too - and they are allowed by their religion as well.
I am not sure what religious book of christian says about gambling but in muslim book - gambling is seriously prohibited.

Everything is upon one's self control. If the gambler realise he's losing then surely he'll find way to come out of it. Her very few get out without much difficulty, whereas majority lacks control which makes them go for recovering back the losses. At some point everyone understand only the luckiest is able to make money whereas for others it is just a platform to spend time and money.

History of gambling goes back to the beginning of the world.
So it is hard to find who actually started it and how it started. But the exchange of money and good remained there. And today we have witnessed a very modern gambling.

Tide goes different kinds of history and from here these two things are left if they are such games and how to play if we don't but history fills us with a lot of seriousness but I think it's very good.

There is reference of gambling in every religious book, be it Hinduism, Muslim, Jews or Christian.
In every religion people are forbidden to gamble- I dont find any reference in any religion where people are invited to gamble and consume alcohol or do adultery. But then we all do it.

Everything out there is a bet really. Just think of every day life, you will be taking many decisions. Some of them are stupid and some of them are trivial - like what to dress or what to eat. However, many of the decision you take have pros and cons that are really important for your life and the life of other that you love. Something as stupid as to decide if you would take over a car in a road is a bet.

That seems very philosophical but you are not wrong in thinking that way. Life itself is obviously risky and everything we do is risky. The only thing we can really win by gambling at this casino named life, is more time.

Everything we do just gives us more time but in the end, the casino wins and we lose. Losing in this case means not only losing our money but everything we own, are or ever will be. Thats death basically. The worst loss you can experience in your lifetime.

But as with gambling normally at a casino, this type of "life gamble" is what we need. Otherwise can you imagine how boring existance would be?

I like what you stated - Casino wins and we loose
We are mostly at the loosing end - only the lucky one get the most out of it.
But if you are unlucky do not try you luck in casino

In some religions like Islam, the gambling is totally prohibited however, we do see that even gambling and betting is common in Muslim countries. This means either they have stopped following the religion or they have tried to modify the learnings of the religion according to their needs. Some people say that modern day gambling is different from what was prohibited earlier but these are just excuses to play gamble.

The history of gambling has been interpreted in many ways. Gambling is said to have originated from ancient times. At that time, the more people got together, the prevalence of gambling increased. At that moment there was no recognized place for gambling where gamblers could come together to play. Venice in Italy fills that gap. The city authorities there opened the world's first casino in 1638 called 'Casino di Venezia'. But this casino was opened only during the festival. could legally gamble there. In this way gambling was spreading ‍at that time.

Gambling in the sense of waging something of value against other stuff considered of value for a result that is uncertain is probably previous to even formal writing. It only requires a very basic communication and it can be done pretty much in with anything... rain, a crop, the fall of a coin or any event out there that has the potential to create a "prediction market". The key is the uncertainty of the result.

[maybukaspa]

tl;dr

What i have in mind, soon as ancient people learn that they can trade things with their own value like barter, discovered gold and silver or other precious stones/stuffs, people start betting and learn gambling on their own way.

It's difficult to know things like this especially for a question of "when" for a timeline since its now a history, although the "where" like the origin of some form of gambling might be a little easier.

It's quite fantastic right? As soon as they know that things can be traded, There are this people will come up in the new ideas. But i think in the early era of gambling for sure there are a lot of loop holes that smart people uses or like trick the players. But now gambling is really pure luck well that is because of the technology we have right now.

Imagine using a time travel machine and going back to the past (which can't be happen cause you can't time travel in past) And bring a device that can trick all this gamblers, you can build your own empire.

Gambling can really be done in almost anything as long as there could be a prediction towards how things or situation would go, anyone can make an arrangement for them to bet on together with other players. In ancient times, it was even witnessed that people bet for fun by means of watching violent situations such as gladiators where people place their bets in gruesome events which involves people being brutal to each other. I think the colosseum was one of the biggest gambling platform way back when there was no technological advancements yet. Which is why it isn't really surprising that we have different kinds of gambling games because it was rooted and it already existed long ago.

Although right now, lesser violent to none is required in gambling because human rights is prioritized. We became more civilized and well-aware of the situation and everyone's right, hence games are now just based on good pass-time activities which can bring enjoyment and satisfaction.

However, many of the decision you take have pros and cons that are really important for your life and the life of other that you love. Something as stupid as to decide if you would take over a car in a road is a bet.

That's a very interesting thought. I drew a small conclusion from this idea. If a person doesn't want to make decisions in his life or is afraid of it, then he can realize the need to make decisions through gambling. I think this is something from the psychology of gambling.

[LUCKMCFLY]

In every reason, there is always a counter reason just like a coin wherein there is always the other side of it.  For us, gambling is ok for the reason that we think that it isn't the gambling industry's fault why people got addicted to gambling but rather the person himself is to blame but others blame the gambling industry for it.

It has been the case since ancient times.  And the government does not totally ban them but regulates it instead.  Just like in ancient Rome, the ancient Roman government  prohibited woman to gamble on ordinary days but they always have a special occasion where every adult is allowed to engage in gambling activity.

Like evolution of human being has taken various forms so does the gambling.
Gambling is as old as human itself. If you we go back to the time when there was only Adam and Eve in the world they had 3 kids, 2 boys and one girl. So the brother had to marry his sister. And they fought and one brother killed the other. The first fight in the world was on woman. Adam ate apple bez Eve wanted to him to do that. So that wont end.

Well, all history leads to the present that we live in and each one of us contributes with our actions for the future, clearly gambling has always existed since the beginning of time, and what OP showed us is only part of what it has Gambloing has been from that moment on, we don't know if before that moment there were some games of chance or some other way of having fun in those times, but there is one thing for sure here, that games are a fundamental part of all evolution and all Humanity, games have made man aware of greed, addiction, and other things that gambling brings, whether they are good or bad things

And this should show us why it is almost impossible to ban gambling completely, religions all over the world tried to do it and failed, now many governments try to do the same or to at least put some restrictions to it and they have failed as well.

Which is why society these days seems to be more tolerant to gambling as a hobby as the people at the top are finally understanding that regardless of their own beliefs they cannot stop people and they may as well enjoy part of the benefits brought by such a huge demand.

All right!  It is impossible to ban gambling for two reasons.  Firstly, the very nature of people inclines them to the curiosity and excitement of the pioneers and, of course, the desire of everyone to win.  Secondly, those people or organizations that arrange gambling, of course, make money on it. 
The result is the interaction of these parties, which is not able to overcome the prohibitions of different religions, much less the prohibitions of legislators and governments.
Therefore, the history of gambling is inextricably linked with the history of the development of the entire civilization.

Nowadays, government even the one that urges it considering the return of revenue they get from it. There are two types of people in gambling, those who want to win and fill that ego within and those who want to profit because of the latter type of people (these are the casinos or similar entities).

There are two types of people in gambling, those who want to win and fill that ego within and those who want to profit because of the latter type of people (these are the casinos or similar entities).

These days gambling is done to get money out of it and very few people think of the entertainment factor associated with gambling.

Gambling casino are built (both physical and online) for the purpose of generating money as houses earn more money than the gamblers. However, playing gambling is no longer considered entertainment and for those rich people who still think that gambling is entertainment for them, it is an expensive source of entertainment.

People becomes greedier than ever because casino level there games jackpot and attracted players to play more to win more. This is the main cause why many people are getting rekt big time due to greediness on winning the jackpot that is too good to be true to win without burning huge amount of money.

Gambling is already so expensive unlike before that people only use min amount to bet because there’s no huge jackpot prize which casino being offered. But now the multiplier of wins in all types of game gets real big.
