I like to read from people who reason like me. No one could know the actual starting date of gambling, it must have started even when the first gamblers did not know what they were doing or what it was being called then. There is a lot that is being assumed in this modern day but the true history has been lost. While some popular established facts are being refuted by researchers/scientists after many decades and centuries of misconceptions. This means that much of the historical documentation, in which gambling is among might not be the actual truth.
