So I’ve been thinking about how game theory connects with gambling. I was at a casino with friends last year, and one guy kept saying blackjack is all about math and strategy, not luck. It made me wonder if gamblers back in the day kind of paved the way for what we now call game theory. Do you think that’s true, or is it just people trying to justify rolling dice and calling it “strategy”?

That’s a really interesting point! I’ve also wondered about how much of gambling is skill versus chance. Blackjack definitely has math involved, but there’s still a big luck factor. It reminds me of how people discuss strategy while chatting anonymously on platforms like Omegle — you never quite know who you’ll get, but you can play the conversation smartly. Maybe early gamblers unknowingly laid some groundwork for game theory after all!
