Historical Gambling

In archaic cultures, gambling regularly served as a voice of the divine. The relevant pantheon deemed to connect with soothsayers, priests, and mediums over the toss of knuckle bones, the outcome of an animal fight, or simply the direction of the wind in a particularly opportune moment. The deities of luck and fortune often took their own shape—Fortuna of Rome, Bes of the Nile, or Ebisu of the Japanese Shinto tradition—reserving a special place in the hearts of the bold. To gamble is to relinquish control and trust that one can win despite the odds.Football bets
For the mundane, the risks involved in a game of chance is dictated by probability—a mathematical tool that informs us of the degree of certainty of an event coming to pass. Probability claims that when you flip a “fair” coin, and side with heads, you are essentially a winner half the time. All games of chance depend on this principle and can theoretically be made to conform to it with enough tries.
Gambling however has a spirit of its own. It has evolved beyond its banal roots and flowered into a myriad of forms with millions of components that decide the outcome of the draw. A full knowledge of all the elements is hard to come by, Card-Counting and Die-Loading included. Everyone dreams of cheating probability, appeasing luck and winning big! But it is the mystique of the game, and the thrill of the unknown that brings the adventurous to the literal and figurative doors of chance.
