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.

There are many historical references to compulsive habits along the story, some of them affecting kings and emperors.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.

In that time most of the mindset of the people are keep entertained and we know that it just limited thing to do right there to make some and of course, some of them are bonded together, even now still the same scenario with the people who keep playing gambling, but with now with the use of the digital innovation they can now easily play gambling to the use of their devices and getting more convenient they don't need to go outside just to play and experience gambling casino.

Correct, back then there was not as much information available as we have now about the dangers of gambling addiction and why gambling is not really a source of income except for casinos, not only that back then also existed the concept of debt slavery in which if a person could not pay their debts they could be made slaves and even other members of their family could suffer the same fate, since then we have advanced a lot but unfortunately there are still people which end up addicted to gambling.

Besides, the law during those days are not as humane as today.  Ancient law are somehow barbaric that fights often occurs in public anytime to faction or parties disagree.  Though I do not think that compulsive gambling is way worst in ancient time than today.  I believe people who fall to compulsive gambling is way more in the present time than the old time.  Reason, communication  is instant today while in ancient times, it is not.  There are lots of platforms that hosts gambling activities and people today can enjoy gambling in the comfort of their home.  So basically people engaged in gambling today is way more than people engaged in gambling in the ancient time.

Convenience brings a danger to many things, including simple transport with engines everywhere where once they were barely roads previous.  Its the curse of modern advancement, its not something we can easily turn back exactly it just requires more discipline in thought and practise and must apply to gambling and finance also

Theres a point gambling with that previous times does not have any rules and law regarding in too much gambling as long as they can play as they want the casino is open to them also some of the entertainment to them by that they can just enoy playing without getting problem about the regulations, only few people know how to manage themselves and there's other always play gambling just to make them fun for the whole day and repeat again.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well I can't help but say something that many have gone through (including me) I live in a country that spent almost 20 years without physical casinos by order of a government that what it did was devastate the country, after that time the same government under the same political or ideological current decided to let them work and function again (Under their rules) however during all that time many players entered the online casino platforms, they have been entering a lot in stake.com, bitcasino.io, SB , because they are platforms that they could easily interact with and only with crypto, so all these people who have large amounts of money have been well served, and now they are entering much more, in this case it was not out of laziness but because they were looking for fun.

What a touchy story, sometimes we need to pass through hard times in order to reshape us to withstand any challenges in life, we've got alot of countries who don't admit the full operation for gambling all because of the consideration of it side effects but actually this era of crypto supported casinos have make it more easy on gamblers to have enough satisfaction through the online or virtual ones and those gamblers that have been into it for so long have magnanimous experience with staking huge amount in gambling with and yet they make their cool money out of it not minding the risk, but the fun in staking gamble is enough for what they'd expected.

Yes, honestly I don't know why things are usually like this, first of all there has to be a business model that makes things flow and obtain the required permits, in the case of countries that already have a special treatment with their governments, They must wait to see if there is a possible change of government with very different political currents to see if they are released and work only for themselves as a normal company that does not have to be at the mercy of what a government imposes on them to be able to work. Things in this type of country at least have a solution, but there are countries that do not even accept a deal with the casinos, but instead the answer is a resounding no.

I think this is part of the freedom part, a person who is 18 years of age or older has the right to play as he pleases, as such he is a person who already has apparent responsibility and can do many things, in this case the freedoms in some casinos it is much larger than others, when in some casinos they determine that a person is losing control, they put a spending limit on him, if he goes over there they block him and he cannot continue playing anymore, this is like a measure of projection to the player, of course this is in online casinos, I don't know if physical casinos have that option (most likely not).

The casino developers and operators has alot of task ahead of them required in other to maintain thier consistency with gambling, government has it own demands in general which has to be in most times a factor related to task payment and registration in other to be under their regulation, things could have been made simplified if everyone involved take good responsibility of their roles then there wouldn't be a tougher restrictions placed by government towards some of the gambling activities in many countries involved having challenges today with gambling, thier must be concession with government, casinos and gamblers and each must have a participating roles under which must be discharged accordingly and as expected.

And we do not need to go that far to the past to know this was true, when La Vegas was founded everyone knew the Italian Mafia was behind it, so if you won money at their casinos even if you did not cheated and it was just because you had good luck you could be sure that not only you will not get paid but you could even receive a beating, and since the police was in it as well then there was nothing you could do about it, so we are lucky we live at a time in which if you happen to win there are many laws and regulations which protect you from such an abusive behavior.

Of course we are lucky! 
We are lucky that we do not live in the times of the "wild west", when the one who shoots the gun faster was right. 
But all these methods of stealing money from the winning player are rather the history of the development of not gambling, but the history of the development of law enforcement agencies and, accordingly, mafia gangs. 
If we talk about the development of gambling, then of course playing online has become much safer due to the fact that you do not have to carry a bunch of cash dollars in your pocket and no one will rob you in a dark alley. 
But, I repeat, the history of online games is still very young, no more than 30 years old.  This is just the birth of the next generation.  And yet all the events of this story are in everyone’s memory and they are still very reliable and did not have time to turn the legend and fiction about what will happen in 100 years, when all the participants in these events have already died.

I don't believe this story, it is one of the unverifiable stories about gambling. If anyone runs a business like that, such a business will collapse real soon, it might be that they pay some and not pay others, anyway, it is a story, and it might be true or not.

But what is true is that the first licenced casino in Las Vegas is El Rancho, and was built by Tommy Hull who's a visionary. This man's clearly not an Italian but a Yankie who is a hotelier from southern California.

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.

Yes, but it's in the nature of pigs too. So, it's not in our human nature, but rather in our animal nature to look for instant gratification. There's nothing wrong with that. Humans are animals, after all, and thus we can't stop being animals completely. We need those instant gratifications for our physical survival. But if we want them constantly and permanently, like gambling and drug addicts, we are more like pigs than humans.

In the wild western movies which I think also show history where card tables are inside the salon or a whorehouse, people have to surrender thier weapons before going inside. That's kind of a KYC.

Lol, watching too much movie eh..  .  Most of the created movies is part of the writers imagination there maybe some truth to it but most them are fiction.

Unfortunately, this is especially true with regards to gambling. I love movies and I watch a lot of them, and I can say that in the past 15 years or so, movies have been great in showing and explaining some scientific and historical facts, but never in my entire life I saw a film where gambling experience was depicted realistically. It is always only partly true, and this part is normally very small.

I guess you could even talk of the movie "the big short" as kind of an historical mega-betting, but from Wall Street. For those who have not seen it, it is about a well know hedge-fund manager that, in the moment of the biggest housing bubble known to humankind see further than the rest and decides that it is the moment to take a "short" position (selling without having the asset). I will not spoil the end, but it is a real superbet.

Well, that's a super movie, "La gran Apuesta" is spectacular, of course the "shortista" who always does many of the analyzes with great intensity, for me it's a movie with a lot of learning, from each character you can learn a lot without However, I've only seen that movie twice, but I want to see it again, I don't know if it's on HBO max, I think so, it's a movie that makes you think about many things due to a fundamental, something very similar to what we are experiencing right now with the issue of wars and everything related to NATO and everything, it's very good for those who want to get motivated and do some operations.


As a comment with a special curiosity, I know that the history of games is very broad, it could not be said that it is something that is limited, I also know that many have seen the Korean Squid series, these types of events also exist, I understand that in There are many hidden things in the world that very few know, perhaps because of what it really means to enter something that is for many very prohibited and dangerous, but just like Russian Roulette, I think that series was inspired by something real , which means that those kinds of stories that turn out to be very chilling are also games that fall into a somewhat dark classification.

A nice collection. Gambling is were live in every era in many ways which you described very well. Now we can see the gambling is very easy. Doesn't matter which kind of casinos you are using. These casinos legal and verified and terms and conditions. Las Vegas is full of offline casinos and many others are full of this. And online we can find many casinos and very easy to access.

We have been very fortunate to live in an age that provides access to online gambling so that we can visit any casino we want.
This makes the history of gambling more developed in today's era and attracts more and more people to try it.
But this day and age, with all the conveniences we get, brings many new problems, including gambling addiction, depression, poverty, and so on.
We have to deal with this by always having good self-control so we don't get caught up in endless gambling.

Yes of course. We are getting more problems now. One more thing which I want to add and I think we are facing it a lot. That's emotion over controlled. Too much addiction leads us to many curious diseases. One of them people lose the control on their emotions. They try to beat anyone with out any reason. And try to talk with their selves.

It is just because of online casinos. Because these are available at anytime at anywhere.

with small regulations but indeed , thats better for our part and indeed this helps me a lot to gamble with safeties.

This makes the history of gambling more developed in today's era and attracts more and more people to try it.

But this day and age, with all the conveniences we get, brings many new problems, including gambling addiction, depression, poverty, and so on.

this will always depend to what kind of person we are and what kind of family we have.

We have to deal with this by always having good self-control so we don't get caught up in endless gambling.

exactly , that's what i said above so our decision and attitude will always matter here.

[Apocollapse]

Yes of course. We are getting more problems now. One more thing which I want to add and I think we are facing it a lot. That's emotion over controlled.

You shouldn't get addicted during gambling, if you think you're have a sign to get addicted, you should stop gambling and control yourself. If you can't control yourself, then you should looking for professional since it's an easy problem when it's about mental health. Even though its easy to access online casinos, but they're have a self excluded option for gamblers who want to quit gambling, you should use it.

Gambling is not just all about the cards do you have and the strategy you will play the game it is all about too in the battle between your emotions because even at your self you know that you can trick other players with a different strategy still even you have a low card and have guts to make a risk play there's a possibility you won the match, it's all about the decision making of the player how they will risk those decisions to earn and to lose. That's why most of the gambler who are already good in playing have a strong mind to mind games.

There are many gamblers who lose in gambling back to back, some times some times he started to gamble panicky for recovering the loss. Betting more and more keep you at greater risk. As a result disaster is certain at any time. If you lose in land based casino, where you can control in any way, but due to gambling alone in online based casino, there is a possibility of losing all your money in gambling as we have the felicity to deposit in online.

[Nikshant]

Thanks for sharing this unique and useful information. In life all of us https://thebirthdaywishes.com/engagement-anniversary-wishes-for-husband/
wanna be rich with easy money and gambling is a best way for some persons. Gambling addiction affects human mind and life. Gambling is a billion dollar industry in many countries. Everyone wanna play with his luck. Many people who have become problem gamblers are very successful and are seen by others as strong and intelligent people.

[serjent05]

There are many gamblers who lose in gambling back to back, some times some times he started to gamble panicky for recovering the loss.

Isn't this the normal event in gambling?  If not then we could have seen majority of gambler being rich.  Instead we have seen lots of gambler selling their assets and properties because they suffer huge losses in their every session.

Betting more and more keep you at greater risk. As a result disaster is certain at any time. If you lose in land based casino, where you can control in any way, but due to gambling alone in online based casino, there is a possibility of losing all your money in gambling as we have the felicity to deposit in online.

I do not think there is a difference between land-based casinos and online casinos.  The amount of losses depends on the control of the person and has nothing to do with what kind of platform he is using or where he is gambling.


Did you know the first online casino is played with play money and is launched on 1994 while a casino that can be played with real money is played on 1996?[1]

A number of free online casinos launched in 1994, when the internet started becoming more common among consumers. And one of the first of these sites was casino.co.za, which served South African players.

The inaugural real money online casinos came about in 1996. Microgaming was first with Gaming Club casino, while Cryptologic closely followed with InterCasino.
