Where did Gambling come from?

The roots of gambling are difficult to pinpoint accurately, as it has been present in one form or another throughout the centuries. Presumably, gambling has been around since the dawn of man. Technically, life itself is a gamble, especially in ancient times, when technology was practically non-existent and survival itself, even, as a matter of chance.

Pliny the Elder - a Roman author, philosopher and commander from the early Roman Empire said: “We are so much at the mercy of chance, that Chance is our God”.

This line of thought has not only endured the test of time but has also laid the foundation for a booming industry.

Apparently humanity has a thing for taking chances.
