The History Of Gambling.

[BobK71]

 do you know that some people play gamble with everything they have and even the addicted one's even still because engaging in gambling participation, so therefore gambling is not welcomed everywhere.

I had the experience of befriending a highly addicted gambler. every day he will spend his money at the casino. I witnessed for myself that he sold the assets he owned such as motorbikes and owed them to his friends.
the last news I know (1 year ago), he sold his car to play at the casino. I know very well he is a lover of card games and soccer betting. he once won big but lost most of the time. long time no see, do not know his current fate.

Winning and losing are very common in gambling. Some will lose and some will win. There are many gamblers who only share the loss but are not willing to disclose when a large amount is owned. However, @Pandu Geddon friend's attitude is very common for the gamblers who become addicted. Where someone sells their valuable assets for gambling. But if you can't get out of this addiction, you will lose more than you gain from gambling.

This history is exactly the same around me where they sell all assets slowly just because they spend it playing online casinos. This is very addictive but difficult to give advice and always on the edge of contention if I persist in giving that advice to friends, so I they are never involved again in their association because they know that gambling addiction is always rewarded, for example they dare to borrow money with a small to large nominal and of course they are not ashamed of everything they do it has become pressure for him because of debt everywhere due to gambling games the.

Gambling doesn't matter as long as I know control over ourselves, I'm also a gambler but it doesn't have to be what to do selling assets to gamble, but I always make efforts to minimize risk in the sense that I always use extra money and it's never too big to spend, let's say $20 or $50 per week and don't have to play every day.

this is very meaningful information for gamblers of course people who want to know how the history of gambling has existed until now, I read more deeply it is quite clear the history written here, had time to think also it seems that in our life is also full of gambling where we always bet from what we have to get something we hope for and want, sometimes we accidentally find gambling in the process of life in this world, thank you for this article

We might not notice it but we are actually gambling every day. That includes the risky decisions and choices that we're making as we strive and continue life just to survive. Gambling is everywhere and we couldn't just find it in physical and online casinos. It is already part of our daily living which we may not recognize every day. How we deal with the risks of life is already gambling.

I think you might be confused about gambling and risking as per definition, gambling is betting or risking ones something that has value in exchange for a possibility of a higher value or monetary cash.

However, if you will try to generalized everything that you bet or risk on as gambling then you're probably correct that everything we do is a gamble.

[serjent05]

gambling has kept the man engaged for long. The excitement and thrill has always been appealing to the people
But then - later in life people leave it for good. Because we cant stick to gambling for long. That is one of the reason gambling is illegal in many part of the world

That is not the reason why gambling is illegal in many parts of the world.  Gambling become illegal because the government decided to ban it and yet many people operate gambling in that region where gambling is banned.

The objective of every person that is playing gambling is to make money gambling is not all about entertainment but it is us that understand it like that that the gambling is like entertainment when we are trying to deceive other people so let us try to be open to us all to ourselves because gambling is just like a place you play and get what you want because you have a packet of playing that I forgot his money and that money is what made you to predict or to book anything so let us try to be sincere

Gambling is created for entertainment.  And this entertainment is enhanced by adding chances to win or lose money.  Gambling as we know is under the gaming industry.  And gaming industry is responsible for giving entertainment and amusement to people.  I agree that the majority that engages in gambling activities is aiming to win money and it is obvious even in the ancient times.

When I am thinking about history of gambling, the first always comes to my mind was card. Literally. But looks like Dice is far older than it. No wonder why ancient people loved the dice. They didn't have much to do like we. Dice would be funniest game they ever played. Its all about luck and its easy to play. You just need small carved stone or something like that. I wonder what they played for tho. Food? possibly.

[Unsoldier]

The latest technology has a huge impact on the growth and changes in the world of gambling. We can now gamble freely whenever and wherever we want without anyone controlling or even noticing us. Most of us want to keep our gambling journey private so it will be convenient to use online casinos if that's our preference. The service is still the same and we can also play comfortably even with just the use of our mobile gadgets.

Online gambling services make it very easy for gamblers to bet anywhere without time restrictions, support the privacy factor because we can keep gambling secret to anyone without suspicion, but online gambling still has its drawbacks because we cannot enjoy the sensation of crowds such as physical gambling places, face to face with bettors, see hot girl and i really miss physical gambling.

Online gambling has many flaws. For example, the gambler does not need to go to the casino. Gambling is available to him 24/7. Many gamblers are just too lazy to go to the casino if it is located far away. Online gambling is even in your phone.

I don't think the things you stated is a flaw of online gambling.  I believe those are the strength of online gambling reason why online gambling business is booming.  Being accessed easily anytime and anywhere is an advantage to attract players.  Aside from that due to different timezone, the 24/7 operation of online gambling gives them opportunity to cater and service anyone from the globe.

You're right, but that's not what I meant. Online gambling is available around the clock. That's why players spend a lot of time at online casinos. They don't need to go to a special place and gamble there. Players get used to playing at the casino and because of that they can't rest any other way.

I think dice and cards is a very old gambling game compared to others because I read from this source:

Code:

https://www.gambling.net/history/

And I think it turns out that they have played it in the past, even in a simple form. Well, maybe they play for food or some other thing, which is to have fun and fill their free time. But I think they did not yet find all of the evidence about gambling history because I guess some others are still buried in the ground somewhere.

Although we write here in the topic that online gambling is a continuation of the general history of gambling, but this is most likely not entirely true.

 Online games have only existed for about 30 years, and this is a very small interval of time in the history of mankind.  I would rather separate the history of the development of gambling from the history of games based on the technological and communication achievements of mankind.  All the same, online gambling is a slightly different form of the game.  And it often comes in human-computer form rather than human-human form.  It is this last form that, in my opinion, is the development of gambling, and not online technological entertainment. 

But all these are controversial issues, what do you think - is it worth dividing the history of gambling like that?

Gambling is old enough. The first proof of people gambling for something that had value was first done in china around 200 bc. This is mentoned on the book of songs, an old book thta refers to many things related to the chinese society back then. You can read more here:

It is likely the oldest form of gambling is something similar to sport bets in which two people for example raced each other and whoever won got some form of prize, as this is something that requires no tools and even kids today do something like that from time to time, however since this probably happened way before writing was invented we have no records of such thing, still it is interesting to read about the early story of the games we love because this gives context about why they are the way they are.

Gambling is not something that started from a particular region, I know that every region will have there own gambling history just like Rome where many people thinks that gambling started from. We need to take a lone at Egypt where was recorded that gambling had been for long during bc.
We all have different options when. We we start talking about gambling and getting to know and have a random ideas about the history, then we might not leave because gambling is so broad that we can't gather all these information.

Dice is more ancient because, during those times, writing and publishing technology is not yet developed.  If we look at the history of gambling cards, it first existed according to the chinese literature, in the 10th century but without indication of their marking or the games played with it.[1]

While playing cards appear in Europe in the 1370s.  It was assumed that it appears in Italy or Spain as imports or possession of merchants from the Islamic Mamluk Dynasty.[1] It was also stated that the first European cards were hand-painted and serve as a luxury item for the rich.

I completely agree, however, I didnt said that gambling started from a particular region, what I said was that the first written proof ever recorded was "the book of songs" which was written in China. Nontheless this doesnt mean that it was something that started in China rather than it most probably was imported to china.

Ancient Indian texts shows that gambling was a part of people's life.

Type of gambling may vary from country to country/people to people.

Gambling habit had started one of the biggest wars of Indian History i.e. Mahaabhaarata.

Here is an article about it if you wants to know more: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2910357/

It's about compulsive gambling, but probably in older times almost all gamblers were gambling addicts. That's because people weren't cultured much in the past, and hence they were greedy and envious beyond measure. They could put at stake their children and wife , they could easily kill out of rage. Only a few people are like that these days. Because of the education today we have higher level of morale than people used to have in the past. And that's why we can be responsible gamblers.

I think online gambling is part of the history of gambling. Physical casinos didn't exist before, but now it's part of the world culture. Maybe our descendants will gamble in a different format. They will be surprised at how archaic our casinos were.

That's true. Maybe the existing gambling records are not enough to know when gambling started. But surely, it's been around since human civilization started to develop because they would think about betting with others to get something. But the many records found provides evidence to us that the history of gambling has started since ancient times and maybe if other evidence is found that shows years older than those found, it will be another piece of evidence that will complement the existing records already available.

Although we write here in the topic that online gambling is a continuation of the general history of gambling, but this is most likely not entirely true.

Online gambling is part of gambling history and evolution.  I don't know why you think  that online gambling as a part of gambling is not entirely true?

Online games have only existed for about 30 years, and this is a very small interval of time in the history of mankind.  I would rather separate the history of the development of gambling from the history of games based on the technological and communication achievements of mankind.  All the same, online gambling is a slightly different form of the game.  And it often comes in human-computer form rather than human-human form.  It is this last form that, in my opinion, is the development of gambling, and not online technological entertainment.

Whatever it is. gambling history, gambling development, gambling evolution, gambling technological advancement, and achievement are all part of gambling history.  To have a clear understanding of history - it is the study of past events or the whole series of past events connected with someone or something [1] .  So basically gambling history includes notable events such as breakthroughs, development, technology, and achievements.

But all these are controversial issues, what do you think - is it worth dividing the history of gambling like that?

To have a better view of gambling evolution and development, it is worth dividing gambling into eras same way the human history is divided into era or epochs.

This is one of the ascent games that still an existence. I loved this game in those days, we used to play it in the fishing camps to pass time. most time we played it in the day time then when night we switched over to story telling and puzzle falk tales. We calls it "WATT" and that is the name written at the back of the paper.
Historically there are lot of games played in the olding days that are not played in this 21st century. This new generational children have forgotten most of the ascent games unless the child come from a family that loves ascent things. There was gamble we used to played in 90s. We Bet on 5 Cabin Biscuits that is one person would eat the 5 biscuits and another person to run or paddle a canoe across the river and come back again. And saying was that. "THE PERSON WHO WAS EATING BISCUITS WOULD NOT FINISHED IT  BEFORE THE PERSON WHO IS RUNNING OR PADDLING WOULD RETURN". And really if the person could finished eaten the biscuits the other person has won so he would take the bet.

Indeed, there are lots of variation of card game aside from poker and blackjack, we have here a card game that used to be famous in our community, the tong-its and pusoy dos.  These was the pass time of people in my neighborhood when they have nothing to do.  A friendly game that can be played with money bet or a fun game among friends where the loser drink a glass of water, or got painted with soot.

It is very interesting and it is good, I like it when in other parts of the world they have card games and they are so interesting, where I live there are many things regarding cards, I think that in other threads they have been named, especially those games that It has to do with the Spanish deck, they are very popular and sometimes they accompany it by having a few beers, it is actually very good, I understand that the history of the games has many aspects, it could not be said where they are born from, or who invented, I just like the way they maintain traditions according to geographical areas.

The latest technology has a huge impact on the growth and changes in the world of gambling. We can now gamble freely whenever and wherever we want without anyone controlling or even noticing us.

Well for me it is worth knowing everything, and as it has been presented in the thread it is as if they were writing a great book where each person makes a contribution, but it would be very good that due to each d'cada they did the most relevant thing, that including each event developed in the passing of that time, in order to attest that it is a totally complete story, of course, in these last 30 years it is easier to put a clear context on the story, the core of everything begins as we go further back in time, because only the experiences of those people who remember some events remain and that is more difficult to capture.

Gambling is old enough. The first proof of people gambling for something that had value was first done in china around 200 bc. This is mentoned on the book of songs, an old book thta refers to many things related to the chinese society back then. You can read more here:

The article is very interesting, however it is one of the most relevant data there is and as it stands, there are probably many more that we have not yet discovered, but surely if they have been given for those years, this is something that can be demonstrated. , the only thing is that it is more difficult to go further and further back in time and if it is done that way, I can not even imagine how much more game will have been developed before that date, and if we take into account that we are given by a time that was preceded by the Vatican who were the ones who actually put the rules of Year 1 BC and Year 1 AD, we would not know how to decipher what the true time really is.

Well I never mean that you are wrong or what you are trying to pass to us is not helpful but I am only trying to bring it from an angle that gambling had been in existence for longer years beyond our imagination and even some of the books we read about gambling are just the ones that was written recently about gambling with a shallow history and understand about how everything began. Sometimes there might be little of information passes about everything really want that time and I know little will be passed.
Gambling had been in existence even before Christ(B.C) and we are only left with shallow information which was based on different region.

There are many historical references to compulsive habits along the story, some of them affecting kings and emperors. I guess it is in human nature to look for things that thrill and cause good instant gratification. But it is not less true that it is human nature to look for a better version of ourselves, so if anyone fall for compulsions it may be corrected with some help.
