Why don't the rich people get addicted easily?

[finaleshot2016]

Maybe they will try playing just out of curiosity, but if it does not work out, they will quickly give it up. Rich people think in terms of money and are very good at assessing risks. That is why such a risky and complicated way as gambling is something they will most likely just exclude from their lives.

Yes, a rich person doesn't fall into temptations like those, the casino is a place where we can be people who lose money, even so we do it because first we like it and second because we don't rule out having some luck and multiplying what we have, but the reality is harsh and it's that you don't win all the time, you lose a lot and based on that is why the rich don't fall into those things, they are more concerned with making their money continue to grow.

To be fair, rich people are just throwing money to a thing that's only entertainment to them and it doesn't interest them to spend a lot of hours in a casino. Their priority is their real game, the way of making more money than spending time on a gambling that doesn't really assure a huge profit. Rich people already have a game that gives risk but also assure a good money, so this gambling thing isn't a way for them to find money. Most of the time, they gamble just for the thrill or to socialize, not out of financial need. When they lose, it’s just part of their entertainment allocation, they're not affected to it.

You are very correct. The difference is that wealthy people don't gamble for financial needs, while the poor gamble with high expectations of making a profit. Looking at gambling, the psychological aspect of it is what leads gamblers to become addicted. It is very hard for those who gamble for entertainment to become addicted to gambling; that is why the rich don't easily get addicted. The reason why people often face challenges in gambling is that they are very desperate to gamble at all costs.

That's actually true, some of them that are gambling are using it to pass time and socialize with friends, they already have some serious investment that they took risk to invest a significant amount of money with high chance of getting a good return but they are financially smart to know that gambling is not what they should consider as an option to put in a huge amount that they can not afford to lose, because they know that it doesn't take time to lose it all or double it, which can be way riskier than expected.

You've got ask rich gamblers if they're addicted easily. Gambling's the same for rich & poor ppl so it shouldn't make poor ppl more addicted to gambling. Rich ppl gamble more money & poor ppl gamble less money so why do you say poor ppl get addicted easily ?

This is an open question, maybe I could be wrong in the eye of some of you but am asking this question because a  large number of addicted gamblers are not even up to a middle class standard but they are addicted. Can someone tell me why it's like that or is it totally a different case in your society, maybe an opposite of what I asking is happening in your own society. Poor people gets more addicted, following the middle class before it gets to the rich. Since it's like that, I think it's just the poor people that are gambling the most in the world, if am not correct, I stand to be corrected.

The rich get addicted to gambling just like the poor and middle class, the only difference is that the rich already have system in place that generate money for them such that even if they lose money in gambling, it will not show in their lifestyle. In other words, they are gambling with what they can afford to lose unlike the poor and middle class that gamble with their life savings. Gambling addiction is never dependent on income level but can happen to all.

Rich people get addicted to gambling but the percentage of rich people that are gambling addicts are quite lower than those that are poor. Rich people tend to be more busy so they don't really have enough time to sit around gambling but at the same time it's possible for a rich man to lose millions within a few minutes. I don't think rich people consider theirselves as addicts even though they might be
