I would probably gamble, but only for fun, and only sports betting. And if you consider day trading crypto a form of gambling, then yes, definitely. Smiley

Trading is a good use of money. I think you will be more profitable if you use your millions to finance your trading career. Gambling will just be a distraction to your tradin if you ask me. It is best if you focus on it.

A lot of people here gamble to become rich, but some do it for fun.

The question is, if you wake up tomorrow with 50 million dollars, would you still gamble for fun, or would you forget about gambling and do other stuff? Personally I think I would still gamble. I do it now, and I know I realistically will never get rich off gambling, because I barely do it and I don't risk much money, just for fun sometimes, to test my luck.
So if I had a lot of money, I would do bigger gambles, but they would still enter in the "for fun" amount (for the new 50 million standard). For example, gambling 1K a month would be irrelevant, and winning with a 1K bet can give you big rewards if you are lucky. It would still be fun, in fact more fun, and it would be as non risky as it is now, in terms of going financially bankrupt.
if i woke up tommorow with 50 milion dollars,of course i will not playing gambling anymore,even i'm play it,i just not with hope to won,just spent bitcoin or money to throw my boring Grin
really?that means you don't have gambling habit . gambling is an addiction..professional gambler never quit gambling even if he wins 50 millions dollar!

If any one target for big profits than winning chances are very less but if we win than lot of profit. Don't gamble this way to make easy and fast money every day but as you said just doing it for fun and entertainment with controlled money than it should OK. Basically I don't go for high odds instead look for easy winning.

It wouldnt matter to me I would gamble just with a bigger bankroll it's pure entertainment for me. I can keep on playing because it's fun the only things I do for profit will be blackjack and dice other than that poker I just play for entertainment.

Surely not. There is things more interesting to do as a rich man  Cheesy

Better to enjoy a big house, a boat, travel around the world... But not gambling, maybe just for fun in a very luxurious casino on real life of course.

Good decision. It is good that you are not tempted to gamble even if you have a lot of money. You did not even consider it as a form of entertainment. You are right, you have a lot of options and you can also trade so you can increase your wealth.

If I were rich, I could buy whatever (and whomever) I ranted Grin

Why would I risk my power to buy anything for more money? I make do with the money I have now, I can obviously make a living if I'm rich.

I think rich people still gambling more , because they dont care to loose money and take my words, no one gamble for money, its a habit which just makes you gamble, even when you know you will loose you still gamble.

What you are describing is already a gambling addict. They gamble uncontrollably and they may even bet their whole livelihood just to satisfy their craving. I know some rich people too but I don't see them gambling away their money. I think it is a false illusion that rich people gamble more.

I probably would. It's a good entertainment if you know your limits when to stop.

Yes entertainment is the biggest need for all rich people. Once you find the gambling fun, you will never quit it.

If I would be rich, I would start a casino and let other people gamble. Problem is: 50 million dollars is not rich, rich people laugh at you for that kind of money. You need much more money to start a casino in Vegas.

I would still gamble for fun, because that is what I do now with it.  I am not going to change my life completely just because I won the lottery or whatever it might have been.  Gambling is meant for enjoyment, I might up my betting a little bit if anything!
I would doubt someone will have the same goal when they gamble. because I have ever encountered I have money left over. and I decided to gamble for fun unexpectedly I won and I continue to gamble until I took the chance to take all my money to gamble and I lost
because change purposes from for fun to profit!

Well with that money you can start a small time casino and if you manage it well it could become a well know casino in the future,50 million dollar is a lot of money to many people.

I think rich people are more addicted to gambling as even if they loose it won't make any difference to them as they have lot of money to spend and that is fun for them.

Yes entertainment is the biggest need for all rich people. Once you find the gambling fun, you will never quit it.

Everyone needs entertainment once in a while not only the rich. But the ones who got rich thru hard work and dedication is wise enough not to get into gambling. They will not waste their hard earned money thru gambling. But those who won lottery or got rich instantly, I think is more prone to gamble. They will think that they can extend their luck thru gambling.
