Re: The History Of Gambling.

snip

If we go through the history then we can find that, in Hinduism, gambling started much before the Mahabharat which started around 3139 BC.
In fact, gambling had a major role in the cause of the great war. So we can say that gambling has it's roots at ancestral level.
It's mind boggling to see how much gambling has evolved.

And there were some cruel incident attached to the gambling as well. Like barter deal - giving goats and other animals or even the daughters/ women.
The gambling was and is the game which excites the people a lot. There were many ways how it evolved. But it did.

is this really involving in gambling ? animals and even Daughters? in what kind of gambling was this for them to bet their love ones? I am interested in this to understand because indeed there are addictions and hard times in gambling but to use people as bet? that is not a best interest lol.

Yes that did happen. Back in those days people used to bet their wives too which is like insane.
At least that's not happening these days or may be it is Huh

But this shows how corrupt our minds can be if we over gamble.
So gambling is a responsible thing and it should certainly be in our limits.
