Gambling and Wagering

Bio
Gambling is a sport based on the wagering of money, something of material value or activities on an event or outcome with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Gambling takes on several forms such as an immediate outcome, such as a single roll of dice or a spin of a roulette wheel, or wagering on the probability of likely events within specific or nonspecific periods of time. Each form involves three elements: consideration, chance and prize. Considered illegal due to its criminal connections, the concept is exceptionally old; depictions of gambling have been found in ancient Hindu frescos. It is possibly the most popular form of sport on the island, especially where Mr. Howell is concerned.
