Indeed, there are even turf wars and group fight because of gambling.  It was stated that in ancient time, clan fighting each other because of gambling.  When one group lost and they found out that the opposing group cheated, it often ends up in a bloody clan war or gang fight.  It often happens until gambling industry is taken over by the government and impose several laws and provably fair system.

It's natural to get a little panicky when you and your friends get involved in a casino or gambling activity together. At that moment everyone is drinking a little bit so the unconscious part naturally occurs. But it can organize after a long period of time but not regularly. Such events must be treated as entertainment. After the moment when a gambler starts gambling again he has to gamble systematically according to his way.

The study is correct and it has been proven so many time to be correct. The act of friendship or moving in group makes one to things he can't as an individual.  Wheb going for clubbing, dinking and going for gambling, there is every tenndency of calling your friends to go in group in order to have a much fun, and the presence of Friends will make you drink more than you could, same with gambling, when you bet in groups, whether you are in the wiinijg side or the losing side doesn't matter, you will continue to bet till you all are tired or out of fund. But the, apart from the negative implication of it guys also enjoy entertainment aspect of it.

It is the entertainment aspect of it that keeps them going and bonding stronger. But however it is said, disassociating from a certain group of friends will not totally stop gambling addiction, but it will reduce. But it will reduce it. The fastest way to reduce it is to have a love one who will help you out by trying to control you with emotions.

But the early age of gambling didn't come with addiction. From gambling history, it shows that gambling is transiting in phases and there would be more development in the future.

There have been many studies made which show that people do in groups things they would never do when they're on their own, this means that even if you have a lot of self-discipline if you happen to go with your friends to a casino then you'll have bigger chances of betting way more money than what you can afford to lose, and if to this we add that you're more likely to drink alcohol as well then this can be more than enough to make you disregard your upbringing and lose a lot of money in a single night.

And if we are to take a look at this gamblers set of people, they are the elite ones find in this category, these are not the hungry types, they have their money and already in it millions, spending isn't s problem because they are rest assured there will always be more continuous business in there, i think gamblers are also in stages with levels, whereby you find the kind of category that only involved the vip gamblers already into money, the pleasure there is more than enough actually and for an average responsible man, he may not look back home than living his daily live in the casino if care is jot taken.

So anything can happen in gambling because we can act beyond the minds of many people who can even do something bad. The cases that have occurred in gambling make a long list of gambling history so that perhaps for historians, gambling is something interesting to study and can be used as a science that can be useful for avoiding addiction problems. Gambling addiction has existed since immemorial but in a very different form from today. The root of the problem remains the same: the desire to have more by not looking at our abilities or being greedy.

Hey guys did you know that the Greek poet Sophocles claimed that dice were invented by a mythological hero during the siege of Troy?  While all forms of gambling – including dice games – were forbidden within the ancient city of Rome and when caught the penalty is 4 times their staking bet.  And with this reason, the Roman Citizen invented the first gambling chip.[1]

Indeed, technology may develop and evolve, but the human nature stay as it is.  So basically slave leaders cheating their master is very possible especially if master is too trusting to its slave leader.  We also see this kind of scenario today where a manager embezzle company money because of gambling addiction and criminals launder money through casinos.  So I think it is really possible that money laundering (terms may not be known during those age) through gambling during the bartering days.

This is what I call the search for revenge against the casino, which seems to me to be a very foolish decision and worthy of being an immature player, a player when he loses his money willing to lose, what he should do is assume the loss and go another day, with a clearer head and thinking, without the need to have negative feelings, partly when a person gets desperate and wants to recover what he lost is when addiction problems come and especially from the search for money to as a matter of course, and this brings as a consequence the worst things that a human being is capable of going through in search of money, it is something sad but it always happens, that is what should be avoided.

I think that one of the best ways to see the game is like this, just for fun, because there are people who want to see the game as a lifestyle, and well they can do it as long as they have enough money to support themselves and go out afloat from everything without needing the money that is being spent in a casino, that is something that can manifest itself in people who are really very rich and can give themselves a type of luxury like that, however to one as an average player, the healthiest thing one does is allocate money totally willing to lose it and not more than that, because spending more money than normal is not something very intelligent.

To cap this, i thought about a kind of lifestyle gamblers developed in the past with going to the casino house all through the day, enjoying pleasure o the fullest, there they make connections, money and enjoy alot fun with bitches, they are never in haste to go home because they know that in there, there's a continuous flow of the latest hit gamblers, drugs dealers and all sort of business flows in 24/7, even when they spend they make more than they've spent back in return, some gamblers can't just loss because they are so sensitive to how things been done in the casino.

Being addicted to gambling, drinking, clubbing or any other things also depend on the environment you are brought up and the manner in which you were brought up. Some people are trained to be disciplined and learn where to cut the thread. When a habit is becoming repetitive, you should know and caution yourself. But most times it is difficult to control when you have a group of friends who influences you and in such a situation the remedy is always to relocate and have a fresh life somewhere else in a different environment.

As long as people keep make themselves entertain they keep make it as their satisfaction by time goes by people now make themselves make fun they make all the game or leisure time as a competition and by that it becomes known as gambling if they put an amount of money to make additional thrill in the game. Still too much gambling make yourself addicted into it and even you don't care with your health because as long as you win and satisfied yourself you will keep playing responsible gambler know its limit.

It's better to think that it happened long ago because we don't know the truth. But we all agree that gambling has been around for a long time and can even be as old as human civilization when they started to know many things.

But it seems that if the slave leaders risked some of the trade items to be able to obtain other items, it seemed natural because human nature itself was greedy to possess many things. Moreover, the form of gambling will be very different from, say, a few hundred before this.

Yep, loosing is not really the objective, unless the casino actually belongs to the same organisation and then it is the perfect excuse to get money. In any case money laundering through playing seems a bit expensive. I do not play that game, so I do not really know the rates being paid, but it would seem that a casino would likely take half of it so...

Indeed I am quite baffled how can money laundering through gambling exist when people are bartering  .  No one can launder money when taxation is yet to be fully implemented.  Probably that site is exaggerating stuff but well, who knows maybe it did happen or not, no one can tell since we are not yet around by that time. I just got a hint though, since gambling is available during those times, probably some slave leaders gamble part of the trading items in order to bag the winnings and/or tell their master that the price got cheaper when they lost the wagering.  Well, anything can possibly happen...

Habits can be incredibly helpful but they can be very damaging as well, and the reason for that is that once something becomes a habit you do it without even thinking about it, it is because of this that you hear that it is often said that you need to develop good habits as eventually those will help you in the long run, an example of this is exercise, we know that exercising every single day when you have not ever done so is very difficult, but if you are able to overcome those feelings and you can exercise for a few months eventually this is going to become a habit, a habit which can be very good for your health, however the opposite can be true too and if you develop bad habits they can be incredibly harmful for your health.

What happened to that post of yours? I don't see it anymore... Looks like the moderators also decided it was a shitpost.
If you don't know what a shitpost is, and why you are treated by moderators as a sig. spammer, go back to your thread in Meta and read what many senior members have suggested.


OP, sorry for a little off-topic, I'm not going to talk about this in this thread anymore.

It does. Absolutely. That's the best approach to gambling, in my opinion. Even skilled poker players can stumble upon a long losing streak, and it's very important to never risk the money you can't afford to lose. For some people it can be tens of thousands USD, and it can be just dozens of USD for others.

If they can do what they want then that is not a slavery but you are only a slave if you are being dictated by someone else (it can be another person or your own self/habit). Maybe some addicted people are now regretting and wanted to get out of their situation but they think it's hard and almost impossible because they are being dictated by their negative habits.

Concerned people can always help them anyway if they can't help their own selves. For those who have a control of themselves, they may have no problem for now but they shouldn't be overconfident and try to exceed within their limits as that is going to be the start for them to become addicted later on.

It depends on how people socialize with others and take good care of themselves. If they can control themselves when playing gambling, they will be okay and will not get addicted because they know what to do when defeat comes. I agree to make gambling entertainment and not think of it as a place to make money because it will help us avoid all the temptations that come from gambling. In addition, we can keep from losing more from gambling.
