I wonder when was the origin of sports betting. I read it is pretty common during Ancient Rome like horse racing and gladiator fights.
~snip~

^ I think before that is not gambling for them during ancient days, it is a competition or it could be entertainment during when there is a special days and time to time, they found out how to bet. I read this before somewhere else but don't know how to remember it. Gambling before probably the very first common is competition because people not only gamble but also it will be entertained.
However, I have learned a lot with the thread of OP, I don't know that during BC there is a dice game and they already knew it but on my mind, the origin of gambling should be on China.

trading with the lives of slave is probably normal during that time. making both slaves fight so they can have a champ to fight with another champ. these kind of records can be found in the archives. i don't think they call it sports betting during that time.

in the bible, they gamble when David fights Goliath. that should have been one of the history of gambling similar to sports betting but bible i guess is not an appropriate record for sports.

It's a long history and yes, gambling has been around us since many years ago. The gambling itself is always progressing from traditional ways that are gambling offline only with certain things to bet until right now the crypto gambing. The progress of gambling is happening because it is due to the development of technology and also how people are many more interested in gambling. This also develops due to the global gambling activities that can be done by all people around the world, not only in local area.

I have always thought that during the ancient days, there's already gambling but in different terms like in physique and competitions. There's no actual bet.
But gambling during that time is the actual competition and the winner will get the recognition that they'll have. The winner takes it all why the loser will have the degraded attention from the mass like losing his popularity.

History shows that gambling has been part of human life. It thrives even with the disapproval of many religions, so anyone trying to remove gambling from society is pretty much hitting his head on a sturdy brick wall.

interesting article and interesting info gathered by OP- even in religious books, like Bible and Quran gambling is prohibited.

Can I have the verses where these two Books state that gambling is Illegal? (word by word please not some interpretation of someone not stated by the book)

Gambling has been around since ancient times. In the old days, people used to gamble through various art techniques.They used to make gambling halls by cutting grooves on the wheels.Then slowly people move towards improvement and gambling improves.Nowadays people have been updated so much that now they are gambling online through mobile.Then maybe there will be more updates and we will see more updated gambling.

The evolution of gambling is really astonishing. And as we can see, it has existed since time immemorial. It has been with humanity throughout its evolution. So stopping gambling won't be possible because it is like innate to humans. And look at what we have now, we can gamble at the comfort of our home without ever dealing with actual people. Wink

Gambling was the essential part for the players,who was interested in the betting.Gambling made the money making machine now,but you need to know how to handle the machine.If you not handle in correctly,it will cut your own hand.This will affect you for the real money,no one will escape from this.So you need to handle the machine first to earn money.

But, isn't betting and gambling the same thing? You can instead say that betting or gambling is essential for those who want to double/triple their money in an instant without taking much effort and more importantly is to have fun at the same time.

Gambling is indeed a money making machine but only for the gambling operators but for those who who are only playing and think this way well maybe they are impressed with their ability of playing a gambling and they think they can be able to win more but I still think that their losses is much more than their winnings but that's good if they don't mind it. That kind of mindset is needed here in gambling.

interesting article and interesting info gathered by OP- even in religious books, like Bible and Quran gambling is prohibited.
So it is said that any trade which snatches money from one person and immidatidly benefits other one is forbidden and prohibited.

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.

And I prefer to bet for life, where I don't know tomorrow I will get money to eat, get a salary slip or not, get health or even fall ill all will never be separated from maintaining myself from the rigors of life. The gambling story that is so long above proves that this has made human civilization about betting not only about getting something. Like rolling the dice if the result is a red dot then the chances of success are small. Like the Japanese samurai determine the fate of their enemies just by rolling the dice.

What a great subject! "The History Of Gambling" Grin

I would absolutely love to see proof that our cave-dwelling ancestors had gambling games with rocks, sticks and bones. I doubt there is a way to actually find out the oldest gambling games of humans /early humans though. We cannot even seem to find out what the lost languages, like aramaic or even older ones, were in essence. So something as complex as gambling is definitely lost to time. Roll Eyes

There is even proof that animals like chimpanzees have a proclivity towards some version of what might resemble gambling. They did experiments with apes in labs and the apes did seem to understand the gambling concept of risky winning. Not sure if one could find something similiar in wild nature.

Maybe it's painted on cave walls from our ancestors for newer generations to see. We may not know that but I had a feeling with the advancement of anthropology in the modern era more and more evidence will be found not just in gambling but on other niches as well.

I never thought that it turns out that the history of gambling is very old and has been done by people since time immemorial. But I think maybe that's what has been written in books about the history of gambling but maybe there are still things that haven't been written or found because there are still many locations that still keep mysteries and may have something to do with gambling. Very interesting article by @OP and can explain to us that the age of gambling itself is very old. We may never have imagined how they invented gambling and its appropriate tools for that era.

In my opinion, the history of gambling may go back much earlier than the era of the pharaohs, and perhaps it may reach the Babylonian era, when civilization was flourishing under the rule of Hammurabi. But the article is limited by scientific integrity as the oldest tool discovered may have been used to make a bet.
I once read in one of the stories that in the Babylonian era in Mesopotamia, some were betting on the soldiers going to war whether he would return or not, and the one who won the bet of a soldier who could no longer get that soldier’s wife.

just to add to the online gambling part, they are now also bringing it into Virtual reality. with the advancement of technology, it'll be only a matter of time before gambling in Virtual reality would become a norm.

Quote from: yahoo62278 on July 06, 2022, 07:10:07 PM

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.

and now they can also do that in the comfort of their home or wherever they are.

There are many reasons why people involves in gambling, or let say people who enter the world of gambling, of them want to be happy and this kind of mindset are good as they say because when they are in gambling ang win in their bet then they will happy and they are also feel that gambling is one of the best stress reliever. But some of the gamblers mindset that they can earn and have a big profits without knowing that the opposite of winning is the main outcome

Not because a person is into gambling, it doesn't mean that it will always affect his life negatively. We have all our personal reasons why we gamble. Others gamble to seek comfort and peace. Others take its thrill as a challenge and some people rely on their hopes in it to change their fortune.
People who fall into gambling addiction are those who can't handle their emotions and forget their limitations.

Hi Gamblers, in my quest to learn about how gambling started, I found a really helpful article, filled with information about the history of gambling, I learnt a lot from this article, so I decided to share the article here so you all can learn about the history of gambling too, I hope you all like it. , please note that article was copied word for word from source, Now, lets dive in....

THE HISTORY OF GAMBLING

What i wanna learn is that How gambling become so addicting and what is behind this that the history when and where this started Grin

But thanks for sharing because you gave us some Idea and trivia so we dont need to google this Wink

but what is the very Historic are the Gladiator days when people needs to die for others to earn and win from their bets and famousness .

The reason of this addiction can be traced back to a hormone in your body that is called Dopamine, so it basically enables you to feel good and gives you a sudden spurge of happiness and lemme ask you a question, who does not want to be happy?

Now the addiction can be explained very easily with the addiction towards things like chocolates, cigarettes etc , all these things are working out to provide you dopamine which slowly makes the person addicted and then the more you do it the worse it gets, there are a lot of ups and downs in your life and thus when you are down the body would be looking for that happy hormone, then you tend to gamble more and make more mistakes as well, there isn't much history but there certainly is enough biology to talk about.

There are many reasons why people involves in gambling, or let say people who enter the world of gambling, of them want to be happy and this kind of mindset are good as they say because when they are in gambling ang win in their bet then they will happy and they are also feel that gambling is one of the best stress reliever. But some of the gamblers mindset that they can earn and have a big profits without knowing that the opposite of winning is the main outcome.

Well good to know all of these, I did not know about the gambling history but I have heard once in the Bible that there is gambling before ancient days. As OP said --it was Before Christ ^[BC], so it means gambling has existed in different countries but it has the same feature or it has the same name. The gambling industry as of now has a large population, even in the online gambling business, we saw almost a week there are new gambling websites appearing. Perhaps they saw how truly profitable the gambling business is.
However, thank you for sharing this OP and your effort searching all of these.

These are just all the recorded evidence of gambling in ancient times but it goes back to the earliest civilization where the record is very scarce, we can just think of the possibility that it dates back to the earliest existence of the mind, gambling is not discovered its inherent to human beings just like anger, happiness, and quest, gambling just manifested in human beings action and thinking and we are using these materials as a tool to gamble or take risks.

Being clever and adventurous are some of the human traits that made gambling develop from simple engagements to the latest gambling platforms that we have right now. It simply means that gambling has been with us since the beginning of time. It's just so amazing that lots of things are being done to enjoy gambling more and as the technology develops, it also improves. The ancient people proved that we could gamble even through the simplest tools around us.
