How dice changed over 2k years to be more fair (2018)
&gt; Gamblers may have seen dice throws as no longer determined by fate, but instead as randomizing objects governed by chance.<p>Going by the principal that people in the past weren’t dumb, just different, and had less access to information, I’m not convinced by the conclusion “they didn’t understand the odds, it was up to the gods”.<p>That may be true for Joe Legionary losing his pay every week over dice, but you can bet your ass that the guy running the game, who probably supplied the dice and maybe even made them had a <i>very</i> good idea of how unfair they were.
