Mankindâs infatuation with gambling has been around for so long that it precedes written history. For centuries we have invented new ways to make wagers with one another in hopes of a greater experience or greater personal gain. Early gamblers would likely be amazed by all the advances modern technology has brought to the gambling world. Weâve come a long way since the six-sided dice.
William Shepherd is the Director of Clinical Operations at the Pike County Recovery Council. He says that with all the changes in recent years to gambling, perhaps the biggest game-changer is the availability and ease of placing a bet in the modern world, âThe biggest change really is the nationalization of online betting to the point where now you donât have to go anywhere. If you have a cell phone right now, you can place a bet virtually anywhere about virtually anything throughout the country.â
