If you were rich, would you still gamble?

[Finestream]

If you were rich what is the point of gambling? Not to make anymore money then you already have.
Maybe for entertainment purposes but I can think of alot more ways a rich person can be entertained than only just gambling in this day and age to be pleased in doing something else other than that.

After you're rich, you are seeking for power. Think of the billionaires - Zuckerberg, Gates are billionaires. They're rich enough to live a hundred lives off their money. Why aren't they just closing their business and living off their money???

You can't just sit down all the life doing nothing - you need to have something to do. For them, it's getting money. Riches do gamble too.

So if it is power that is fueling the gambler to gamble then why now just ask if if you are a power monger would you still gamble? 
Still putting that aside if they have nothing to do then just go to the poor countries and help repair the world. That would seem to make them feel like Superman unless they like the feeling of evil power that gambling offers as a cure for that emptiness that they seek so badly.

Well, I think they are not closing their business because it is not just themselves that are feed by their company. Even if they are rich, I don't think that they will consider gambling when they have nothing to do, issue was right, it is good if you would just help those in need instead of losing your money to those greedy gamblers, be like a philanthropist, they are into the result of their deeds and not for the reason..

This in a way is somewhat true. And yes I see your point in this.
But with having so much money in your disposal why not just try and make a better world to live in and spend this money fight drugs and prostitution in their parts of the world?
What ever happened to that Mexican cellphone empire guy that was the richest man in the world two years ago? He should of used that money to fight all those drug lords and cartels in his country.
Then Trump wouldn't be all mad at them for cause so much grief to America and then trying to build a Super Wall to keep them them out of the States.

Even if you are the richest person on earth you cannot solve the drug problem in mexico, they are getting worst already, you need a leader (president/prime minister) who's advocacy is to make war with drugs, narco-politics are one of the main reason why the drug problem in a certain country cannot be resolve.

I think this is kinda off topic - drugs in mexico from op's question whether we still gamble if we were rich.
If I am rich though, I think I would still gamble - this time with higher bankroll and many sessions to cover loses. However, I will not put all of my attention in gambling, I will instead do some charity activities and help the people that are in need.

Of Course you will. We play for the sake of emotion, and not for the sake of wealth.

yeah i would be gambling even if i was rich because i like the thrill that i get when i risk playing with my money and the possibility to win big money

i think everyone will be the same feeling, and the reason is that most of the people in casino belong to rich families and still the are gambling therefore we can conclude that if a person become rich i think that he will even increase the rate of plying gambling, because when you have a lot of money you will certainly play big bits and will not be going to stop for a long time.

rich people can also ask for advice from professional gamblers as to how to correctly manage their bankroll and increase sessions. Well, increasing sessions is already with rich people because they have big bankroll and each of their session will be according t the max bet of certain casino.

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?

No. There are so many better ways to spend your money, you can donate for charity and save some lives, you can fund some researches, you can invest this money or start your own business. There are countless possibilities to make good for yourself or other individuals or society as a whole. But if spending big money on gambling is essentially just giving them to casino owners. So I would only gamble with small amounts and preferably in PvP games like Poker.

I could not agree more. Our motivation of earning money must be to help others - our family and loved ones, friends, and people that are less fortunate. We are here in this world to help others, because we are made for service- whether what is our religion or dominations.

When we earn for others, it gives more drive, meaning, and motivation. BUT, if we earn just for ourselves, we will be lonely and not totally happy.

Exactly. Even working for an employer has a little bit of risk.  You can get fired or get in an accident on the way to work. There are always risks in life.

True there is always risk, the thing here, is you should always get that risk as minimal as possible.

Life is always full of risk and nobody can take control over his future, so that I think it would be nice to take some risk to get chance to make more big money, a rich person who very big bankroll can place the bigger bet.

And sadly they are the only ones who can make a good chance to win big in gambling, bigger bets means bigger risk and if that outcome is successful that could transform to bigger rewards, that just how gambling goes if you are into making money.

But some of the time if you bet big you can also lose big amount of money, so I think it is better for us to just play gambling as for fun and not just to gain profit, cause we cannot gain profit here all the time, yeah we cannot control our future, but I think we are the one who can make our future better and before.

It is depend on a person, rich people are really on the casino to have fun, but some of them using gambling to meet other people and use it for their business, I mean they will not go to the casino with no purpose, sometimes they go there because they have a motive and that is what they call strategy, some of them use gambling to socialize with others and make other rich people to become their partner in business.

[zend7]

It depends. Mainly I would like to start my own business to always have funds available for me. Also I would help charity foundations and children in need. And of course I will keep playing the slot machines with very little bankroll per day like 300mBTC is not a big amount if you are rich. I am obsessed to win at least once a jackpot in the online slots.

It's probably a bad idea when you still want to gamble when you rich since you could still lose everything since you will just be betting more at a time and imagine if you becasme poor again. Rather just be happy with what you have or if you want to then you can open a casino with the money and play there for free and fun. This will solve the gambling problem and need to gamble.

You are right here. There is no point in gambling anymore if you already have a lot of money. If it is for fun, there are lots of good activities that you can do that do not put you at risk to addiction. the idea of investing into a casino is great too. Instead of you throwing away your money into gambling, take more money from gamblers through your casino.

i have different idea i would have done gambling surely for fun,specially in sports betting because if u bet on any team or any other thing it increases the fun of watching any sport.I am not rich but i still do it with small amounts so surely i would have done more if i was rich and yes with a bit of control.

Well for me, If I'm going to be rich already, instead of going to gamble. I am going to invest in gambling. And going to make my habit as a profitable way so that at the same time while I am enjoying, I am also earning. But if a friend is going to ask me to play with him. Instead of going to have bets, I'm going to play with him without bets.

That is fact when we look over the research how much rich are losing with gambling, that is very huge amount if anyone won big amount than 99% people would lose all of their amount just in less than year, I think gambling is very risk even with so big bankroll too, that is why I'm agreed with you.

When you are rich already then you don't have to gamble anymore, what's the use of your money if you put it in gambling an unfortunately you lose then you aren just wasting.People have no satisfaction in life keep on trying and finding a lot of money even they have more than what they receive.

[renem]

[JITENDERPAR3]

Why would you still look for money when you are rich already, I think your focus is more on getting your self entertain to minimize the stress you are holding on managing your money.

[Dark.Angel]

i not long feel,  then i think i would gamble my money then as there would be no need to do that for sure because i would already have enough money for a living

to be honest i'm not gambling even though i dont have a lot of money because i know that gambling leads only to big losses and nothing else

It is greed that keeps them gambling and going for more. Even if you are rich, if your greed for money is still strong, you will find ways to make more money. And the easiest way to find and most alluring is gambling. Others like investing is too much work. But gambling is too easy to do but can be dangerous. YOu can lose a lot and the worst is you can get addicted. So if you are rich, better avoid gambling.
