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.
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?
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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
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 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.

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.

 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.
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.

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.

It turns out that since a long time ago gambling has existed, and based on the history you wrote many things that can be involved in betting in order to get an advantage, and the gambling that occurs today is certainly more sophisticated compared to the past and we certainly live in an era full of technological tools so that gambling is getting better and many people are increasingly tempted to get the lure of the annual, then by reading history like this we can compare the differences between gambling past and present.
Yes, gambling is much easier and stronger than before. Compared to primitive, people are now gambling very comfortably. Today's gambling has added a variety of games that greatly tempt a gambler. Not only that, Metaverse technology has been added to gambling at this time. Gambling is constantly being upgraded. As a result of which this industry is expanding widely. Now a lot of gambling companies are appearing in the market with new things. It is said that competition has started even among gambling companies. They are offering new offers to attract Gamblers attention in various ways. All in all, the revolution in gambling has begun.
And it is natural this is the case, just a few decades ago gambling was still kind of an obscure hobby as you needed to play at a physical casino and most of those places at the time were located at a bad neighborhood of the city, but since then gambling has changed and it has cleaned up its image, so it is natural that it is now more popular than ever, and with the upcoming technologies I can only speculate that its popularity will keep growing during the next decades as well.

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..  GrinMost 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.
