I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling.
That is a big fat lie. Human want are insatiable meaning that people don't get satisfied with what they have and will strive to get more. Even Elun Musk has never given up on hustling why would anyone think of given up because they have gotten what they want. Anyone who gamble even if he has enough money does that simply because he wants to try luck. If it plays then they become more richer but if it didn't, they also lose so there is no big deal.
those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.
His explanation is wrong, the percentage of the rich gambling is not small compeard to the middle class. All are just mixed up which you wouldn't know the percentage of both. But I believe both the poor and the rich gamble. there is no segregation. gambling is not limited to some set of people but to all individuals regardless of class.
