Greetings gambling enthusiasts and gaming aficionados everywhere! I return with yet more intrigue and fascination as I ponder the eternal question:

Which came first... the casino or the gambler?

Looking back in history, it seems there have always been centers where people have gathered in order to wager their money, belongings or other items of value on the outcome of certain incidents such as board or card games, sporting events or nature's own surprises such as which of two flies will fly off a wall first!

But which came first?

The gambler or the gamble? The gamer or the game? The need or the satisfaction of that need?

Now I leave you with that surly, perplexing thought lingering on in your brains... until yet I return!

Deep, very deep.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the gambler came first, because without the gambler, there wouldn't be a gamble!

Then again, without the gamble, there wouldn't be the need, so there wouldn't be the gamblers... ok, now I'm going for a cold beer...

Interesting idea you got there! It could drive a man insane trying to work that one out, like the chicken and egg thing.

Me? Nope, I'm going back to my BJ game. At least I can lose in the happy knowledge that the dealer came before the player cause that's how I got my cards!

Hey you guys talk about a load of crazy stuff here. I kinda like it, least most of it. Man, but first I thought this idea was waaaay over my head!

Until I figured it out. Pretty simple really.

Has to be the gambler came first cause there has to be someone to do the gambling, know what I mean?

Or else if there ain't no people, like their ain't nothin... unless monkeys figurd out how to play craps hahaha

Hey Scoot, you got some good replies going in here. I guess this is the kind of question that gets the gambling mind going full tilt to figure out an answer that Deek saw staring in our faces! Cool.

Thank you all for the many intriguing and provocative replies to my thought provoking conundrum! Certainly reminiscent of the classic Chicken and egg question with a bettor's slant for good measure. I may have to ponder a follow-up!
