Why don't the rich people get addicted easily?

[giammangiato]

The rich gets attracted to Gambling but in a less destructive manner because they take gambling as an entertainment and a source of networking.Other ways,the rich doesn't consider Gambling a financial strategy or a means to increasing financial strength and make higher returns.However,I believe the rich don't easily get addicted to Gambling since the perceptive indulgence differs.

I think that the rich are the same people, and they are also capable of succumbing to weaknesses and addictions. Some say that it is easier for the rich to gamble because they are more able to part with money, but I know rich people who are very thrifty, even too thrifty, and I know people who live from paycheck to paycheck and do not worry about saving somewhere and putting something aside.

So I can assume that it does not depend on the amount of money a person has, but on his attitude to money and his propensity to risk. Let's say a person can lead a wasteful lifestyle, but he will never play gambling, this also needs to be taken into account.

In gambling, parsimony is a contradiction, but for some players it works, I have to admit.
Addiction affects everyone, no one is immune to something that creates addiction.
It depends on your balance, lifestyle, parsimony, psychological and psychophysical state do the rest.

I don't want to offend poor people in any way, but they can often have a bias in different directions of emotional state, because the rich have their basic needs covered, they eat healthier food, have good medical examinations. I think that many of them are educated, all this helps to have greater resistance to addiction, but there are also genes that you can't do anything about. Therefore, even the rich are not completely insured against addiction, but in general I think there are much fewer of them compared to poor players.

What makes many people addicted to gambling is money, because they want to make a lot of money and get rich quickly. Meanwhile ,  rich people are those who are already rich or have many different ways to make money and become richer. While the poor seem to be stuck or having difficulty making money and getting rich . It can be seen that poor people are under more financial pressure and therefore more susceptible to psychological manipulation. So I don't mean to offend poor people but I also believe and agree that poor people are more prone to gambling addiction than rich people.

It will be hard for you to see a rich man behaving rudely in gambling, because for them to have maintained this level of pedigree in riches takes a serious minded person to work hard and they wouldn't want to waste all their efforts to reckless gambling habits, this also does not justify that all the rich gamblers are not addicted, few are, but most of them have a coordinated pattern of gambling not have more fun in a responsible manner without being addicted.

Yes, most likely it will be exactly like that, but there will also be those rich people who earned their fortune not by hard work, intelligence and prudence, but those who inherited everything and they did nothing for it and lived in comfortable conditions all their lives. I am afraid for them, because it is such rich people who are at risk of losing first of all. They do not know how difficult it was for their fathers and family to go the way to achieve the wealth that they have. So in the game they may for the first time face losses that they are not ready for and will begin to prove to themselves that they are not losers. This will happen with more and more money being thrown in until someone stops it. I do not think this is how it happens.

Rich ppl can get addicted to gambling like poor ppl can. Rich ppl have got more money than average or poor ppl but it doesn't matter because status & class doesn't protect ppl from getting addicted.

The thing is that when rich people get addicted in the gambling it doesn't affect them, why if the poor get addicted it affects them, many people will know that they are addicted in the gambling because they doesn't have the finance to take care of them, but when the rich is addicted in the gambling they also entertained themselves, so that is difference rich people being addicted in the gambling and the poor people being addicted in the gambling, so we need to understand such concepts of gambling that rich people enjoy gambling very well because they don't have any much bother whenever they lose and they have many sources of income why the poor sometimes uses gambling as a source of income, they are things we don't need to play with..we should not rate the rich people addiction in gambling with the poor, that is my advice to people

[bakasabo]

Rich people have a good source of income to fund their gambling. Most of them just use gambling as stress reliever so even losing some is already fine with them because they can easily earn it back while they have some fun on their free time.

They use gambling the way it was intended which is source of fun since most of rich people doesn’t have a legit social life due to their business or work habits.

Aside their value their money, they have huge funds for them not to cling on gambling to win more.

Your post can be understood differently. A good source of income might allow rich people to gamble more often or place larger bets. Wouldn that frequent gambling has more chances to turn into hobby first, then into addiction? Dont forget that nobody wants to lose or be losers. Rich people are not exception. Those who say, that rich can allow themselves to lose and have thought to win back, are wrong. Nobody loves to lose money.

It is all about discipline. Organized people are more likely to realize that it is impossible to succeed in gambling with a chaotic approach. You need rules and strict adherence to them. I think that wealthy people gamble much less often but when they do they approach it in a more organized way. For poor people gambling often feels like an opportunity to make money or even a chance to change their life for the better. That is why I believe their attitude towards gambling is different and the disappointment from losses can be much more intense.

People who become rich through inheritance do not know that it is difficult to earn money because there are some people among them who do not hesitate to spend their money. Even if such a person keeps spending money on gambling, then he can lose a lot in a short time. And if they are addicted to gambling in some way, then surely the addiction will harm them more than other gamblers. Though not all rich people behave the same. I see some rich people that their heirs are more strict in spending money. A big reason why the rich do not get addicted to gambling is that even if they gamble, they do not gamble uncontrollably. That is why they are less likely to get addicted than others.

[crwth]

I don't think that people who have or are part of high-income or wealthy people do not get addicted. They do, and sometimes it is a different thing, not just gambling, but sometimes it is substance abuse because they don't get to really be happy with what they have. It's not a lot, but I know that there would be people who get addicted, but the majority of wealthy people know how to control themselves and how to discipline themselves.

A person who is not disciplined and does not have good financial management skills will most of the time not be able to save himself from major disasters. And these things are very less effective in the case of a poor person, because they waste money randomly on gambling, because their only goal is to try to make money. They want to get rich overnight through gambling, they think that now they can easily win the jackpot, but that jackpot never comes to them, rather they will always be drowning in losses in this way.

I quite agree and maybe I will draw a conclusion from the statement you made above which rich people have more opportunities to gamble than poor people but talking about addiction and inability to accept defeat they are still included or still possible to be addicted and feel disappointed or upset because of the defeat they experience, meaning yes it is true that no one likes losing money.

From another point of view, I think rich people who actually do not want to dedicate themselves too seriously to gambling, even though they have more ability to gamble more but usually rich people really love and appreciate their money, they have very good money management.

I agree with you that most rich people do not gamble excessively, and the reason is because they will not waste the wealth they have earned so far. I think this is all because of the mindset of rich people, usually they have a mindset not to be excessive when they want to spend their money, even I often see rich people say that they will only spend a maximum of about 10% of their finances, and that is intended when he spends 10% then he will easily produce the 10% that has been spent.

While for poor people who I often see behaving rudely in gambling are people who feel upset because they lose the money they have lost, because in any amount it means a lot to them. Therefore I always remind anyone including me not to spend money that can't afford to lose, because the risk is feeling upset, trying to restore the situation or defeat, and ultimately falling into a deep abyss in the end. So, if you can realize it you will be a responsible person in gambling.

It's not a lot, but I know that there would be people who get addicted, but the majority of wealthy people know how to control themselves and how to discipline themselves.

It can even be said that rich people, if they feel that they are becoming addicted to gambling, can afford to hire an excellent psychologist or clinics that will help them get rid of the addiction without any problems. And a poor person in this case will only start reading literature and watching videos on the Internet about how to try to solve this problem on their own. Yes, in some countries there is free help for such people, but what is its quality? I think that bad specialists work there, because they are unlikely to have high salaries. And therefore good psychologists and doctors sit in private clinics, where not every gambler can afford their services.

Rich people don’t easily get addicted to gambling because most time they don’t gamble for financial gain or navigate financial stress, they gamble for fun or entertainment and it’s not a means of making a living,their losses don’t usually effect them because of their financial stability so losing doesn’t creat much impact on them , the rich can easily let go of the money wasted on gambling and are organized and focus with other daily activities without relenting on it , that is why it seems they don’t get addicted easily .

Let's just say, some of them. But I believe the businessmen who always believe in profits will not get addicted to gambling. They know about assets and liabilities, and gambling is an expensive type of game and a very high-risk one.

Just like you said, many of them have discipline because they know that they need to keep their wealth because some of them don't even know how to live as a poor person. They will probably just kill themselves if they will be poor on the rest of their lives.

It is true that poor gamblers are at a higher risk of addiction than rich gamblers and are much less likely to continue gambling independently due to their limited financial resources. Their search for opportunities to make a lot of money and their expectation of getting rich in a short time are the main reasons for their losses. The characteristic that I see in rich gamblers is that they have a more relaxed mentality when it comes to betting and avoid taking pressure. Perhaps because of their financial abundance, they do not exert pressure on themselves when gambling. To win, it is necessary to be mentally stress free and keep up with research activities. The underlying logic between getting entertainment and making money is what distinguishes rich and poor gamblers.

But it not true that poor gambler are at a higher risk of addiction. Just look on the following example. Poor person wants to make money through gambling, makes his bets and stop gambling when he runs out of money or have risky low amount of them. Rich person can gamble longer, place more bets, get more dopamine or turn gambling into a frequent activity because its fun. Who is easy to get addicted, the one who gamble once, or the one who can gamble 1000 times?

Maybe it’s because they have different mindsets and different levels of what they can handle. Rich people might be gambling longer, but for them, it’s just for fun. If they win, great, if not, nothing really changes. The way they view gambling is different too. For the rich, it’s just entertainment. For the poor, they treat it as a possible life-changer. That’s why their approach and how they react to wins or losses are also different. Poor people tend to be more emotional because of their life situation. They get carried away by emotions more 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 first thing to underline is that addiction does not discriminate whether you are rich or poor. If rich people gamble then the chances of losing more money because all of that is in accordance with the portion of the bet. However I do not deny why most poor people are more likely to be addicted to gambling because what they bet on is aimed at finding a shortcut to get more money. Basically you are 50% right and 50% wrong. Where addiction is just a condition where someone cannot control themselves then it applies to anyone regardless of their status rich or poor.
