# Repeated roulette losses at German spas in the 1860s

Date: 1863

## The fact

From 1862–63 onward, and fiercely in 1863, 1865, and 1867–71, [Dostoyevsky](/people/fyodor-dostoyevsky) lost money at roulette in Wiesbaden, Baden-Baden, and related tables, pawning Anna’s things as later told.

## Context

Fiscal path: household extraction by tables. Shared with Anna as the person who retrieved pawn. Mixed: he wrote the losses into art. Art does not rebate the debts. Stellovsky is another predator, another year.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Losses are not The Gambler as literature. Mixed effects of Repeated roulette losses at German spas in the 1860s are separate paths.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky independently treats the gambling. Kuznechny museum at https://eng.md.spb.ru/ presents the biographical cluster. Goslitmuz is official neighbourhood.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Fyodor Dostoyevsky (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

Roulette losses are a fiscal-harm path of high confidence and moderate household weight, not a unique casino-industry series. Distinct from the dictated novella.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is [fiscal-policy-sustainability](/drivers/fiscal-policy-sustainability). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

## What is established and what is not

Established as received: repeated 1860s spa-roulette losses. Not established: a unique ledger of marks. Year-level 1863 for the pattern’s public start. Wiesbaden-Baden pattern from 1863, pawned objects, not the Stellovsky novella delivery. Official https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky is not independent https://eng.md.spb.ru/. Later UNESCO listings and films are not this lifetime instrument. Wiesbaden-Baden pattern from 1863, pawned objects, not the Stellovsky novella delivery.

Shared responsibility is part of Repeated roulette losses at German spas in the 1860s. Naming Fyodor Dostoyevsky does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1863-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
