Topic: The History Of Gambling. - page 20. (Read 16878 times)
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.
I found this article[1] very interesting, despite the records of ancient gambling, it boldly stated that the European nation invented gambling the way it is today. The reason behind this is that the European nation had accepted gambling and promulgated it and developed the games that greatly affected the current gambling industry. We all know that in ancient civilization gambling is already available but it was frowned upon and was banned by the ancient leaders.

The modern concept of gambling should be attributed to Europe. Europeans are those who invented gambling in its most meaningful sense as we see it today. That was later popularized by Americans who opened thousands of commercial casinos. However, the games they introduced were already ingrained in the history of the Old World.

Both of your suggestion is very acknowledging because when you look at the history of gambling it will make you to take far beyond human imagination and the beyond human thinking because when gambling started nobody knows about it and that is not fit to be proof that this is the origin of gambling but from the ancient time these people do exchange things and the from the process of exchanging things sometimes it will fall into gambling whereby if you don't meet up to a change with someone then you can go at it so gambling don't have beginning and it don't have an end
Gambling does have a beginning. I always think that gambling originates when trade between people was established, since we can not do gambling with ourselves alone, it was exercised when people learned to socialize, haggle with market prices, and make decisions when a certain event is too much for the tribe head to analyze. As long as humans exist, I don't think gambling will perish.
It's inherent in us it originates in us being risk takers and believing in something higher in us, in the olden days we called it spirit in the modern day we call it luck, we can see gambling in every culture, religion, and the cycle of times in the beginning when we are evolving and up to this time, gambling is here to stay and it evolves in the modern society as both profitable and for recreation, I don't think gambling can ever stop we can only educate people on the risk of gambling but never stop them from gambling.
I think that the history of gambling is so connected in general with the history of the development of mankind that they are simply inseparable. As many BTT users note here in the topic, different games were invented in almost all eras. Starting from ancient Egypt and up to our time, when most of the gambling has gone online. We can say that gambling is parallel to the development of civilization. I think many researchers of history will learn a lot of interesting things by studying all sorts of ancient games. Including about the mental abilities of people from these eras.
Gambling has taken place, in some form or other, for hundreds if not thousands of years, and is inextricably linked to the history of humanity.
From ancient China where indications of rudimentary games of chance were discovered on tiles, to Egypt where the oldest known dice were excavated, to scenes on Greek and Roman pottery which indicate that betting on animal fights was common and animals would be bred for that sole purpose, humans love to gamble and do so at every opportunity.Gambling is one of mankind’s oldest activities, as evidenced by writings and equipment found in tombs and other places. It was regulated, which as a rule meant severely curtailed, in the laws of ancient China and Rome as well as in the Jewish Talmud and by Islam and Buddhism, and in ancient Egypt inveterate gamblers could be sentenced to forced labour in the quarries. The origin of gambling is considered to be divinatory: by casting marked sticks and other objects and interpreting the outcome, man sought knowledge of the future and the intentions of the gods. Gambling dates back to the Paleolithic period, before written history. In Mesopotamia the earliest six-sided dice date to about 3000 BCE. However, they were based on astragali dating back thousands of years earlier.

Indeed, gambling has been existing long time before. Way back during the ancient times, it is already existing and a thing done by the past civilizations in their own ways. It was even mentioned in the bible and it was also written in several articles that there are proofs that gambling really exist back then such as artifacts and gambling pieces that the people used to gamble. And in art, it was also shown. There are so many art pieces that depicts gambling and betting before. Some were gruesome because they bet at that kind of extent just for the sake of fun and money.
We have so many history of gambling and I think this one is good and can be an eye opener for us to take a look and how the gambling world began. The history of gambling could depend on region and time)era just like op had mentioned here and I will also take a little research to know more about the dice gambling era because that seems to be my favorite and I wouldn't waste time to learn more about the major history and time everything occurred accordingly.
This thread should have helped and enlightened everyone here that had gone through this post and read about it. I love gambling especially on football matches and other gambling games and knowing how everything started would be good and help me to know.about different era major events happened.

The history of gambling are of different series and we need learn one ikr two things from it. The gambling history can be very important for us to know more about the kind of games we are playing and how everything comes to play. The gambling world is huge and bigger than what we think so we can learn from it by making research in how everything strated. The history is broad and full of interesting history.
It depends on how we view gambling because if we don't have the desire to learn more about gambling, we will not learn the history of gambling and just want to play gambling.But if we really want to learn about the history of gambling, we will look for more information about gambling and do more in-depth research to find more clues.
The history of gambling has been around since time immemorial and we haven't been able to find the origins of gambling or how humans started gambling and it took a long time to find the clues.
Even though search engines can help us find clues, we still need to research the source directly to find other clues.
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.
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.
It's actually funny to hear that the first fight in the world was about a woman. Please where is that written in the Bible, because i don't mind going back to read that portion over and over again. Because gambling is as old as man and we could see that in the Bible when the serpent (Devil) gambled our lives to loss favour in the sight of God with just mere apple, through Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. So as time evolves so will the mode of gambling change over time
Egyptians were probably gambling over slaves. Kinda crazy to think how long gambling has been around and what it looked like from the start up til now. People went from fighting in a pit and wagering on the winner, to throwing dice in a casino, picking numbers on a wheel, or playing a slot machine.
The history of gambling has not stopped in our time and gambling will continue to change. Those gambling options familiar to us that can be seen in any online casino are likely to become obsolete and will seem wild to posterity, as bets on the winner of battles in the pit look to us now. Although in general, the general concept remains unchanged. If in the past bets were made on the winner in the fighting pit, and for some time on the sports ring or playground, now the trend is shifting towards betting on the winner in eSports computer games.Even in the holy books there are references of gambling. In Holy book of muslim - Gambling has been forbidden and not even a single word of holy book has been changed. So it means the gambling is very old thing to do
Both of your suggestion is very acknowledging because when you look at the history of gambling it will make you to take far beyond human imagination and the beyond human thinking because when gambling started nobody knows about it and that is not fit to be proof that this is the origin of gambling but from the ancient time these people do exchange things and the from the process of exchanging things sometimes it will fall into gambling whereby if you don't meet up to a change with someone then you can go at it so gambling don't have beginning and it don't have an end

As long as humans exist, I don't think gambling will perish.
I also think like you, there is no other way that gambling does not exist if it is not by ourselves, history continues to happen at every moment and although it seems strange we are also making history, for many who are starting out they need to know many of experiences, other times you need to have some experience and experience makes history, when we are in the photo and put our opinion and that goes down in history.
but thanks for the sharing of the history because those trivia is worth reading and learning .

Gambling is life itself. No life no gambling and no gambling no life they go together. We gamble in our everyday life,meaning the decisions we take in the way we want things to be done is gambling especially in what we don't have much idea on. Sometimes when we make the wrong decision it affects us negatively. Even Jesus Christ garment was use to cast lots to see which of the soldier will keep it.
A person can live even if there's no gambling but gambling can't live if there are no people to play it. But that's impossible since there are too many gamblers all across the world. But to connect it in our daily lives, well, you've the point that most of our lives are a gamble and we have to make choices and take those risky bets which means to take decisions that we don't know if it'll win someday or not with our future.
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.
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.

It's a mud puddle where you keep drowning and there is not return unless you really decide to get out of it.

People is giving analysis of History of gambling without having a direct evidence of that, so with what I understand and what I observe from the history and the Point people make concerning gambling history none of them is understandable and the clear to us because one of them have a clear evidence that prove that gambling started from one particular area so before we can be convinced about this we have to see direct evidence that shows a picture or link of where gambling. so I don't have to believe anybody until I see proof
As far as I know, gambling may have been active way back the date the excavated evidence was created. People won't have any knowledge to represent things unless it is already available in society. Like for example, no one can paint a picture of an animal if it isn't already existing and I believe the same thing with gambling evidence.

That is when the cloth of Jesus of Nazareth where gambled by the Roman Empire Soldier when Jesus was bleeding on the cross
Quote
After they had nailed [Jesus] to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. Then they sat around and kept guard as he hung there. A sign was fastened above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." Two revolutionaries were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
— Matthew 27:35-37 NLT
— Matthew 27:35-37 NLT
But there is no direct statement or sentence that prohibits gambling in the Bible,[1]
Quote
Although no Bible verse states, “Thou shalt not gamble,” we are encouraged to be generous to those in need (James 1:27) and avoid chasing after riches (Proverbs 28:20).
As a matter of fact, in the earlier part of the Bible, Israelites uses a toss of coin or cast lots (which can be called a gambling) to have a decision.[2]
Quote
Is gambling in the Bible?
It’s probably a stretch to say that gambling is referenced throughout the Bible. It is true that people “cast lots,” which was a chance-based way of making decisions, such as the flipping of a coin. Although we don’t know the exact methods involved, it involved leaving the outcome to chance, such as perhaps randomly selecting from sticks of various lengths or from stones of various colors.
But casting lots did figure prominently in parts of the biblical narrative. The Israelites cast lots in order to determine land apportionments (e.g., Num. 26:55) and temple officials (1 Chron. 24:5), and the early church cast lots to choose who would replace Judas Iscariot as the twelfth apostle (Acts 1:26).
Casting lots was practiced by non-Israelites too, for example, to figure out who was responsible for calamity (Jonah 1:7) and to see who won Jesus’ garments at his crucifixion (Matt. 27:35). Of these examples, casting lots for Jesus’ garments seems to be closest to our understanding of gambling because it involved a game, not just the need to make a decision.
