Today we-re going to talk about gambling. Now, gambling is interesting because it could be argued that gambling doesn-t even have anything to do with games. It-s usually about making money after all - which makes it much closer to work. But gambling definitely has a gaming component from its uncertain outcomes to rules of play, and gambling has had a huge impact on the more traditional games we see today. So let-s take a look at gambling-s not-so-certain history all the way from antiquity to the present, and maybe along the way we-ll try to figure out why we like playing these -games- so much anyway.

I only bet when I am playing poker, and I go into the night expecting to the $20 buy-in. I consider it like paying to see a movie- I am paying to enjoy entertainment. I convince myself that I am not going to get the money back. that way if I win, it is an unexpected bonus.

when i used to live in North Dakota they allowed blackjack at the bars. so i'd sit at the table and once i up $20 bucks i get up, buy a round for my friends and me, then sit back down and do it over again. i was kicked out of several establishments for doing this however

Ive been caught by the Gambler's Fallacy when looking at the Powerball. 08 shows up way too often as the powerball to not bet on it more than other numbers. Plus the patterns that are displayed make it look like it follows some sort of theme.

actualy in rulette the house does not have an advantage, its probability neutral. they only have the game to draw in more people to gamble at other games that do hold an edge

there's a key difference that makes poker different from other games mentioned. In poker, you're wagering against other players and not -the house. -

The fact that early dice games grew out of divination amuses me.
