Gambling is not something that started from a particular region, I know that every region will have there own gambling history just like Rome where many people thinks that gambling started from. We need to take a lone at Egypt where was recorded that gambling had been for long during bc.
We all have different options when. We we start talking about gambling and getting to know and have a random ideas about the history, then we might not leave because gambling is so broad that we can't gather all these information.
I completely agree, however, I didnt said that gambling started from a particular region, what I said was that the first written proof ever recorded was "the book of songs" which was written in China. Nontheless this doesnt mean that it was something that started in China rather than it most probably was imported to china.
Well I never mean that you are wrong or what you are trying to pass to us is not helpful but I am only trying to bring it from an angle that gambling had been in existence for longer years beyond our imagination and even some of the books we read about gambling are just the ones that was written recently about gambling with a shallow history and understand about how everything began. Sometimes there might be little of information passes about everything really want that time and I know little will be passed.
Gambling had been in existence even before Christ(B.C) and we are only left with shallow information which was based on different region.
