Gambling Culture In The US – From Saloons To Superhighway

Gambling Culture In The US – From Saloons To Superhighway

Nich Moore May 21, 2020 15:01:09

From western saloons to the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas gambling culture in the US is something special. With Hollywood to spread it far and wide, it was the template for many years, but now the landscape is changing. Online betting sites in the US like Bovada are reshaping the market, leaving many scrambling to keep up. If they can. It’s doubtful. Gambling culture in the US may be on the cusp of a divide as the internet finally removes the issue of accessibility.

Betting In Britain – The Long Running UK Culture Of Gambling

The UK culture of gambling is one long marked by a duality of attitude. Both the authorities and public are all but schizophrenic about it. They deride it as a vice on one hand and positively encourage it as a harmless flutter on the other. Historically there is, as they say, rather a lot of baggage. Modern online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 thus find themselves walking bizarrely hypocritical tightrope. Growing accessibility might not equate to expanding acceptability.

Most nations have their own unique gambling culture but as the internet inserts itself into every facet of our lives, is that under threat? Will there be a homogeneity to gambling inflicted by the digital revolution, or can we retain some individuality? Online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 present an unrivalled convenience, but also bring a uniformity too. Around the world the gaming market is changing and with it the very culture of gambling is also changing. Not always for the better.

Discovering how to bet in the 21st century is simple. Just learn from history.  Take the Bird’s Eye Steakhouse Grill advert. Who knew it would be so prescient. When that motley cast of builders sang; “We hope it’s chips, it’s chips.” I suspect they didn’t know just who would take their message to heart. Now, quite sometime later, the billionaires are buzzing with the concept of microchips in our minds. You could soon place your usual bet on sports in the UK at Bet365, without a computer in sight.

Searching For A Gambling God To The Far Off East

Searching For A Gambling God To The Far Off East

Our continuing mission to find a gambling god worth worshipping moves on further east. The beliefs of India and China are ancient and mysterious so one could well be home to the deity we need. With rather different cultures, both these ancient civilizations have their own spin on a god of gambling. So we’ll take a look at both. Just to see which, if either of them, might provide divine assistance the next time we put a bet on sports in China at Bet365. You never know.

Where better to look for a god of gambling but among religions that actually had one? Our search for the perfect deity to assist us in the odd flutter then hovers over the ancient world. So perhaps, when we hit up online sportsbook sites in Italy like Bet365, we should look to Rome, Greece, and Egypt. These great powers of antiquity in the Mediterranean had different gods for different things, and maybe specialization is the key. We examine a selection of these infamous immortals.

In our hunt for a god of betting, gambling, gaming, or just plain winning, we now head west to the Americas. With numerous different cultural heritages sharing the same landmass we have a goodly range of gods to select from. However, there are a couple which stands out as candidates for us. Could it be that before you hit up online sportsbook sites in the US like Bovada you should be praying to a Navajo carpet bagger or a member of the Aztec ‘Lords Of Excess’? We take a look.

Gamblers are, as a rule, quite spiritual people. Which of us when placing a bet on sports in the UK at Bet365 doesn’t say a silent prayer of hope? However there isn’t much consensus over which of the numerous gods available is the best. There is no real god of winning, per se. So we undertake a quest to find, from among the pantheon, a suitable candidate. There are, of course, plenty of gods of gambling and good fortune, but do any of these characters measure up? 

Seven Reasons To Replace Any Bet On F1 With Wacky Races

Seven Reasons To Replace Any Bet On F1 With Wacky Races

Most of us enjoy a bet on F1. However, some people aren’t so keen. They see no point in risking a little cash on some over-paid posh plonker in fireproof underwear driving an over engineered go-kart too fast around a tax haven. For these people, there is an obvious alternative. So obvious that one day even online sportsbook sites in the UK like Bet365 may cater to it. Wacky Races. F1 has turned into a soap opera, so here are seven reasons for swapping to a 60s’ cartoon instead.

The Bad – Tabasco, A Culinary & Cultural Misappropriation

The Bad – Tabasco, A Culinary & Cultural Misappropriation

It adds a spicy kick to anything it touches, but Tabasco Sauce has very little do to with the region in Mexico upon whose name it trades. Indeed the origins of this famous condiment are an abject example of culinary and cultural misappropriation. Ignoring centuries of history those that argue over its origins now are American. This is as insulting as it is implausible, but any Mexican gambling laws might redress this, should think again; It’s global success is not to be theirs.
