Gambling precedes civilization and i kinda believe it's something the people of old used in whiling away time at leisures not until the Romans engaged the gladiator gambling pattern where lives were part of stakes in arena's.

^ That was a bloody sport that Romans found, inside the arena the strongest will survive bit now, it is purely sports but they are the same in the arena. Did you know that NBA sports have 29 arenas? The history of sports gambling has been civilized into a modern one though they have the same sports it has a different approach it is more friendly sports than what we are now compared to Roman's time.
Great history of gambling, can you point out who is the first big winner in an online gambling casinos.

Everyone knows that they need to be disciplined in gambling and do not have to be emotional while doing gamble. However, once we start to gamble, we forget everything, and our only focus is limited to only earning quick money. Greediness makes us lose in gambling because it's the greed due to which gamblers will lose their money and never win anything substantial from gambling.

Yes, everyone knows they need discipline but most people don't keep themselves disciplined, especially if they are on a winning streak. Gradually they will surely forget to stay disciplined because, at the same time, the level of greed, pleasure, and temptation will increase drastically and they will want more than they already have. Instead of stopping, they continue to play, making us lose in large numbers. So if you don't want to lose a lot of money, you have to be able to maintain your discipline so that you can avoid losing a lot of money.

You guys are right, it's very important to to take caution in everything one does regarding gambling and stay focus avoiding all forms of distractions, some were influenced by friends to go to an extent they never could have attempted alone, too much of everything is bad, gambling though has made some and in the same manners cause some to experience bankrupt in finance because they kafk the ability to exhibit caution.

Yes, that's absolutely true. Maybe being influenced by friends is such a big factor in that person that he will follow his friends and end up having a bad experience. That is why we have to be very careful in socializing and smart in choosing friends who will not get us into a difficult situation, even if they invite us to gamble. And if we follow them, they will not suggest using more money. Besides that, they can take care of each other and won't let their friends experience unpleasant events.

When it comes to addiction in gambling, it's just something one can't really describe or explain how since the habit is spontaneous as one continuous or engages gambling without recourse to self control in the initial.

Sad that there wasn't a big mention about the ancient Rome part. I mean it's much more than just a passing line, we know all about it. Hell even the famous quote of Ceaser "alea aecte est" is literally "the dice are rolled", like let's see what's going to happen. This is why I believe that "alea" as in dice, played a huge role in roman times.

From slaves to lanistas, from generals to "kings" consul, regular people, everyone played dice there. This is why it has been one of the oldest games ever, and literally first gambling crypto ever got as well. "Aleatorium" is the place where it's like a casino, basically a gambling house where you drink and you roll dices.

It is understandable that gambling in ancient Rome isn't highlighted, since the discussion is about history in general. Maybe you can create a new topic where it discusses Ancient Rome's gambling history highlights. If OP has to present the gambling history in full detail then OP might take more than a month to compile them all. But well yeah, we can share historic trivia here to spice up the discussion.

agreeing on this because indeed that this is about History in which when and where started and not about the full range of gambling because for sure , even Chinese will take their part from this topic and the whole world will be taking part Grin

and also I am afraid about the Ancient Rome gambling in which for me is Bloody and inhumane .

The Chinese ancient gambling history might also take time to dig its history details. They did create games thats proprietary to Chinese only like the Mahjong. But its actually the same concept as the cards, which comes up the first we don't know. But we do know they were very creative since the Qin dynasty. They were always the first before the west, remember that gunpowder was first created by them.

Up to this day gambling still is a taboo in the country as its illegal but they do have particular islands to where they are allowed to gamble like Hongkong and Macau.

This is true, we don't even know which comes and was invented first, is it mahjong or cards and we don't even know which one came first. Chinese gambling history is so deep enough to recover because their history falls and differs on every dynasty and every dynasty has its own distinctive inventions to make them unique from other dynasty, correct me if I'm wrong here.

Hong Kong and Macau is the only two special administrative region of China (SAR) where the citizens here are enjoying a different system of politics and has more freedom like gambling than its mainland, China.

Wow, are really those that old?
I thought those card were invented around 1800-1900!
Here in Venezuela there are very popular, even more popular than the poke cards I would say.

They are used to play many kind of card games, some are even from particular locations or states of the country.
The most popular game is Truco Wink

. Played in social meetings, in campuses, while drinking and during long travels.

I think, although this would probably seem as a very outrageous idea in the gambling community, that every single person who wishes to gamble must be cleared by a psychologist/psychiatrist before they are even allowed near gambling. This would serve to filter out the already mentally unstable from the mentally healthy and would ensure that no gambling casinos can make money by exploiting the already fragile minds of people who are suffering mental illnesses.

Unfortunately, this could never be the case and personally, I dont endorse the idea. Not because its not good but it still won't help so much. Gambling is the game that could turn even a sane man insane! Hence, having a psychologist/psychiatrist check gamblers before thy get the chance might just be defeated. Again, how long will it take to go through the steps, what would be the means of verification by the casinos even if they were to present a report (you know that could be forged) and these gambling casinos or sportsbookie wants customers so, why woukd dey walk that part. It would b a regulation to by pass so, its either a ban or we can only hope.
Banning even won't solve no problem as addicts would always find there way. Maybe some are ment to learn the hard way and a few do!

For those who think that there is something wrong with the way they play, yes they are the ones that needs to be checked by a psychiatrist if ever controlling the habit by themselves seems impossible but for those who are still normal, I think it's alright to become emotional as we are just a human, we are not robots which doesn't feel anything whatever the outcomes we get although in gambling we have those auto bet function and also those gambling bots, they might help us dealing with our emotions when gambling.

It's not greed that makes us lose in gambling but it was its difficulty which is set to the highest possible level tho it's still possible to win but we should stop because if we become greedy then these wins are going to turn into losses.

We do not let gambling casinos exploit children, so why do we let them exploit the mentally ill?

Dice 3000 BC ago and dice until now. Cheesy

Perhaps they could find a way to use that same dice because that really looks cool.

To add one more at the 1600s era. There were also cards from Spain. Baraja Española. Spanish-suited playing cards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish-suited_playing_cards#Description

Quote

Spanish-suited playing cards or Spanish-suited cards have four suits, and a deck is usually made up of 40 or 48 cards (or even 50 by including two jokers). It is categorized as a Latin-suited deck and has strong similarities with the Italian-suited deck and some to the French deck. Spanish-suited cards are used in Spain, southern Italy, parts of France, Hispanic America, North Africa, and the Philippines.[1][2]

Most Filipino brothers here would know this. These cards are used in a game called "sakla" when there's a funeral going on. Played this game when I was young and we would even go far as to visit other funerals who we don't even know just to play (bet) the game.
The purpose is to get donations from every bet that will happen or some do it in contracts.
1521 is when Spain discovered the Philippines and we acquired most of their traditions including this game of cards.

What happens is that the history of gambling is so deep that it would be impossible to cover everything in just a post, there are whole books that just list the games you can play with cards, so a whole series of books will probably be needed in order to cover the history of gambling and how it has shaped the lives of the people living at a particular era and civilization, so we must accept the limitations that comes from having to summarize the history of gambling in a single post.

Not only in ancient Rome, around the world in different dynasties gambling practice is being followed in different forms. To analyse those and making a documentary will be really interesting. Maybe a museum for gambling history seems to be fair, that every gambler will intend to visit in their lifetime Grin

Quote from: paxmao on July 06, 2022, 06:03:10 PM

Interesting basic overview. Quite frankly, it is very likely that gambling is as old as life itself. If you consider animal behaviour, everything is about gambling and the stake is usually life itself or even the right to reproduce, feed or a territory. Many animals frequently have to "bet" on a decision in the sense that they choose to fight or flee, confront a rival or leave it to see another day, etc... For humans, no difference... life is a gamble.

Gambling has been perceived through our late ancestors, so its clear that it has existed already from a long, long time ago. And before, the animals were only their tools in gambling, but now everything has been changed and improved. But it remains the fact that the wealthy one will always have the means to gamble more, and lose their possessions more. Now, we can see sites of gambling everywhere, either land based or online. And as always, the aim is to make huge profits more than being entertained.

If you're curious about how gambling started, this one is for you since you can read here some of the good highlights of gambling activities before. Honestly, this is also my first time to know the background of gambling, since I usually gamble without knowing the history, I'm not good at history but this one is really interesting. Gambling changes a lot in so many ways, I wonder what would be the big game changer for the future. Cheesy

Gambling trends has definitely been changing with the passage of the time.
Also they are getting better and more sophisticated - We have seen some very strange gambling trends in our regions like barter deal and getting house, car or even woman if the loser don't have money.
