General How did gambling start

Around 2300bc, tiles were unearthed in Ancient China. They seemed to have been used in a certain game of chance. If you also go back into history, there's evidence that keno slips were in use sometime around 200bc. Would we therefore rightly conclude that gambling is more of an entrenched trait?

There seems to be a rich history in as far as gambling is concerned. I think that this is one trait that is inherent in most human beings. I remember when we young, we'd dare each other into doing something. Whoever won would eventually walk away with the prize at stake.

They've found dice from ancient Egypt, so formal gambling games may have been played for years. I'd expect betting on sports or combat to have happened before then though. It looks like betting is really natural to people throughout history.
