Well gambling sites (casino, sporstbooks, etc.)  considered as an investment so it is definitely bound with profiting money. It's not free to create, launch, manage, and maintain a gambling platform. You need a lot of people to do certain jobs for you, so you need to pay them, where will you get the payment..? of course from the casino profit. So don't make it a negative thing that casino has been made for money. Well it seems like not good if it's only initiated for "money" but that's how businesses works. Just be careful on what casino you'll be playing with.

There is no way to know exactly how old gambling is, but it seems to have existed almost as long as humans have.

Ahh. I thought this generation is naughty and have bad habits like gambling, but I was the damn wrong. Rather it is happening since centuries ago and we are only taking it forward.  

You'll be very surprised to know that our ancestors' lifestyle was the same as ours, from their professions, their politics, to business, banking, and finance. Our only difference is that we are in the better side of the technology spectrum, which should give us a shower thought that if we are given a golden opportunity to invest in a ground-breaking technology, we should take it! A ground-breaking invention on money, perhaps?

We've just evolved into something better, gambling is part of our human existence it's inherent to us, and we manifest it based on the available materials and tools in our times, what we've seen on OP's posts is just an example but every country culture and every era they have their own tools.

In fact, many of these are not yet discovered by our anthropologists, gambling n our times keeps evolving and developers continue and trying to introduce new gambling methods because this is where everything is, money fame, and fortune because we are attached to it.

Thanks for sharing mate , I have no Idea at all about how Gambling even starts as what I have read the oldest version of Gambling is In the Bible about the soldier who gamble about the clothing of Jesus bit this does not clarify of when the gambling started.
and its good to see this kind of sharing for the whole community here.

Just like the history of money had began for a very long time before now so is gambling. There had been different form of gambling before the 21st century where people use slaves to gamble and earn more. The dice gambling is part of the revolutionary gambling that had been in existence for more than 1000 years ago. We are in another phase of gambling just like the Earth revolve around the sun.

Lots of what we are using today are because of our ancestors, their clever thinking specially in gambling. I mean how smart it was thousands of years ago to think of something like a dice and made up of wood or like a bone of an animal.

So yeah, we're not that different from our ancestors, it's just the technology and with the invention of that changes what we are today.

According to the article, It is believed that gambling, wagering, betting, and gaming predate the invention of writing and have their origins in the late Paleolithic era (roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 B.C.). Back when we lived in caves or huts and hunted and gathered. We also gambled! There is no way to know exactly how old gambling is, but it seems to have existed almost as long as humans have.

We present here a timeline of how and when gambling developed from actual evidence unearthed or later from written accounts. We end up where we are today.



2021 – Online Gambling has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry with thousands of online casinos available; casinos have been focusing on evolving in terms of graphics and games and becoming more mobile-friendly.

So what are your thoughts? lets discuss.

Since the creation of modern society and civilization gambling will always have a place in our civilization as human evolves so does gambling, this is a business that will never die and this is a habit that will keep coming back, I can't imagine a civilization that does not know how to gamble, we are attached to it we can easily relate to it and will keep on as the civilization goes on, gambling now is better and innovative, although it's a big threat to human, we still keep embracing because it satisfied part of  our needs as human and that is to enjoy.

I wonder when was the origin of sports betting.  I read it is pretty common during Ancient Rome like horse racing and gladiator fights.  
~snip~

^ I think before that is not gambling for them during ancient days, it is a competition or it could be entertainment during when there is a special days and time to time, they found out how to bet. I read this before somewhere else but don't know how to remember it. Gambling before probably the very first common is competition because people not only gamble but also it will be entertained.
However, I have learned a lot with the thread of OP, I don't know that during BC there is a dice game and they already knew it but on my mind, the origin of gambling should be on China.

Gambling or betting between competitors/fighters was commenced during the fight.  There is historical record where one of the emperor lost in his bet during a gladiator fight.

As mentioned, Augustus himself was fond of gambling and did not allow his own laws to deter him from the action. He reportedly lost 30,000 sesterces when betting on a match at the Colosseum. The sum was thirty times more than an average Roman soldier’s annual salary. He was so passionate about placing a wager that many writers often commented on his weakness for various games.

Romans Gambling History:
Did you know Romans so loved gambling that they banned it.

Gambling Laws in Rome
Despite gambling proving popular with Romans from all backgrounds, the pastime was generally prohibited in ancient Rome throughout the republican and imperial era. In addition to the Bona Dea festival, Romans were legally allowed to gamble during Saturnalia, a week-long festival that honoured the God Saturn. The event also allowed slaves to place a wager at the same table as their master. If, however, a Roman was caught gambling outside of the celebrations, they would receive a fine.

Did you know Roman women were not allowed to participate in gambling involving men.

The Social Classes
Almost everyone gambled in ancient Rome. Every social class it seems, from a humble slave through to the emperor, would bet regularly. However, women were not permitted to participate in gambling games that involved men. It was only during the Bona Dea Festival that they were allowed to legally place a wager as the event was held especially for women.

Did you know sports betting already exist during Ancient Rome.

Chariot Racing – Ancient Sports Betting
Chariot racing has been depicted in various forms of media from Ben Hur to Gladiator. It was brutal, dangerous and exhilarating and, of course, provided the Romans with a great opportunity to bet. Only the rich and powerful could bet, and this was more of a gentleman’s bet between two people. The emperor was always present during these races and the imperial box, called the pulvinar, was directly connected to the imperial castle. Chariot racing was the height of entertainment in the Roman period, challenging the Colosseum and the gladiator battles as the most popular spectator sport.

Gladiator Fights – Fight To The Death
Gladiator battles were the crème de la crème of Roman entertainment and only challenged in popularity by chariot racing.  It involved two or more men battling it out to the death, only to be spared under the emperor’s decision. Like most Roman sports this, of course, allowed for betting. Betting was a tricky affair, as one gladiator was generally better equipped and better skilled than the other. The underdog rarely won and, for that reason, not many bets gentlemanly bets were placed. Some were though, and fights often broke out as bettors cheated each other.

Without a doubt, games of chance have existed since the beginning of time, if we think about when they realized the value of gold, it would be the best for them in those times, how would they face that stress and the feeling of debt and stress? there were no psychologists, or anything like that, currently with all the tools that we have there are many cases of addiction, online games and online casinos are truly a blessing for those who cannot go to physical casinos, I want to see soon the turn that It will take all this when everything related to the metaverses is implemented, this promises, more and more fun is being advanced with casinos.

I can't help but to agree with op that gambling is an old phenomenon known with man. Back in the bible the story is there that Jesus Christ met gamblers in the synagogue that got him angry and he throw their gambling materials away and chase them off from the synagogue. I can also believe that there are different forms of gambling in the past, crude way that it has existed to bet on either slavery, being smarter , stronger or warrior.

In the African setting, I have read books of gambling through wrestling matches by different villages contesting against one another with their warriors and strong men in the quest for land, women and other promises and gift for winners. I therefore believe that the modern kind of gambling existing now took it idea from some crude or past kind of gambling and made digital, some encrypted in blockchain. Dice game I remember has the physical or manual modalities at least in Africa setting and some other rural gambling games that have gone into casinos.

I read somewhere that in ancient times people gamble to death, besides slavery is rampant during those days.  There isn't much law about family so whenever the head of the family became addicted and losses in gambling they have the tendency to sell their property along with their family. Besides access to medical people are very limited during those times and oftentimes they seek guidance from their elders or village chief.  Mostly stress and emotional disturbance are often confronted by themselves.

Sports in the old days cost lives of warriors to determine who wins. Seem a brutal way of losing. Athletes don't seem himself having a record of 3 losing streaks.

Selling their property along with their family seem unfair to the members. They also have sense of justice after all they know the laws of the society. Before the addicted head of the family can ever sell his family the shaman will probably accuse this man of being possessed by the demons. He'll suffer by himself and not drag his family long with his demons.

I can't help but to agree with op that gambling is an old phenomenon known with man. Back in the bible the story is there that Jesus Christ met gamblers in the synagogue that got him angry and he throw their gambling materials away and chase them off from the synagogue.

Please set your example straight.  It wasn't the gambler that Jesus chased away, they are unfair merchants or cheaters that he chased away.  According to Mathew 21:22-17 and John 2:16,

Matthew 21:12-17
Unfair merchants
The next day, Jesus went to the *temple. There was much trade there. There were merchants there who sold birds and animals for the sacrifices. [A sacrifice is a special gift to God. Sometimes the Jews killed an animal as a sacrifice.] Other merchants would change Roman money to *Temple money. The *Temple rulers did not allow Roman money there. These merchants probably paid a lot of money to the priests. You could bring your own animals for sacrifice, but they had to be completely perfect. Often the priests said that the animals were not perfect. Then the people had to buy expensive animals from the merchants in the *temple.
When Jesus entered the *temple, he forced all the merchants to leave. He turned over the tables of the money changers. He would not allow anyone to carry anything for sale through the *temple. Jesus said:

Matthew 21:13 ‘The Bible says, “God's house [the *temple] is to be a house of prayer”. You have made it “a place for thieves”.’

Jesus was angry
Jesus made a whip. He chased out all the people who worked at the tables. He said, ‘How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market’ (John 2:16). He sent away those who cheated people. We call this the ‘cleansing of the Temple

Jesus got angry because merchants are dishonest and the fact that they made the Holy Temple a marketplace and cheated people in front of the temple.  They did not make the temple a gambling house or whatever.  So there is no way that Jesus chased gamblers at that event.

Lots of what we are using today are because of our ancestors, their clever thinking specially in gambling. I mean how smart it was thousands of years ago to think of something like a dice and made up of wood or like a bone of an animal.

So yeah, we're not that different from our ancestors, it's just the technology and with the invention of that changes what we are today.

I agree, most of those who made research and development on gambling games often have previous records as a reference, they either add or remove a feature to spice up the game.  While gambler often looks at the history of gambling to look for beneficial strategy in order to outsmart their gambling opponent.

So with this history gambling is as old as human civilization and has predated so many centuries ago, thank goodness for the level of development that has undergone in the gambling industry.

There are many reasons why people involves in gambling, or let say people who enter the world of gambling, of them want to be happy and this kind of mindset are good as they say because when they are in gambling ang win in their bet then they will happy and they are also feel that gambling is one of the best stress reliever.

Of course gambling relieves one from accumulated looads of stress, it's actually fun to play gamble because it's a game everyone love to participate playing, weather winning or not the pleasure derived itself is worth satisfaction, gambling has been practice since ancient days when things aren't advance yet about gambling, they play it in a friendly manner that bring about cordial relationship between parties involved and this still existed even in our present era of advance gambling.

But if you are leaving in those eras you would have stated the same statement  .

During ancient times, gambling is also a sort of entertainment but many got serious with it that they even gamble to death.  During Ancient times life is like nothing, I think the only precious is the lives of their king and leader and most common people's lives are neglected.  Some even gamble for slavery, and they often see the lower status as trading goods.  I am so glad that slavery had long been abolished if it were not, I don't know what would be our situation as the lower class of society.  Anyway, I think parts of the ancient gambling traits still exist today like in ancient times, when someone is caught cheating, it ends up in a fight to kill each party member, the same thing today, but not that brutal due to the existing law today.

Sometimes one assumes that the "art" of betting is not so many thousands of years old, in my case I believed that sports betting was the oldest type of betting that existed, which started with the Greeks, then ancient Rome. ..etc.

Add the first online poker casino was Planet Poker (edit:1998). This theme reminded me that in those years the star online game was limit holdem, and nowadays it has literally disappeared, but in a certain way it was the favorite game at the cash tables.

3000 BC – A pair of dice was recovered from an Egyptian tomb dating back 5000 years.

Can you provide the exact source link about this topic except for the current source which is Owldao. I'm just curious about the use of these dice by the time it was discovered 3000BC whether it was already use for gambling or for some other things that involves chance for decision making. The idea of the thread is very unique and interesting. I just want to see the main source of each topic since the article writer didn't include it on his original blog.

Are going to ignore the fact that those Egyptian dices look like something one could easily find during a session of role playing, Dungeons & Dragons?  

I suppose that only helps to add more mysticism to those kind of dices, also the fact they have strange runes engraved on their faces.

Playing gambling is okay if we accept the outcome because many will be more stressed and sad if they lose. Gambling which is now developed, is much better than gambling in the past because they use makeshift gambling tools. But it also made them happy to be able to play with their friends and win prizes. At the same time, gambling has finally gained a place in many countries and is growing until now.
