This is my opinion for the 3 biggest gambling "inventions"
The first is one that we are all familiar with....using chips ( actually called checks ) in place of actual money.
Losing 4 green chips is not the same as handing over a real $ 100 bill and losing it.............the chips replace the emotional effect of losing your hard earned actual money and substituting it with losing worthless pieces of round plastic.................a brilliant invention and no one knows who invented this concept.
In my next post, I will describe the second invention..............and then I will describe the third.......which is the most brilliant......... and one of the major reasons why casinos rake in enormous profits.
