Why don't the rich people get addicted easily?

[alani123]

Who told you they don't get addicted? Many rich people got addicted and never got back on their feet for real. Same with the kids of many rich people. You're having in mind a very certain archetype of rich person. Not being born rich, having worked and being eager to work. These are now the exception other than the rule. The rich generation of today isn't what you see in movies. They're heirs of generational wealth that haven't worked a day in their life. That's why you don't see them. You think these people don't get addicted? Who do you think consumes all the cocaine?

[SmartGold01]

People gambles but the majority of people who are gambling are not a gambling responsibly and moreover these people mostly believe their life depending on gambling that's why it looks like the poor gambles more than expected, meanwhile there are average people who gambles within these without others knowing they are gambling we can say these sets of people are gambling responsibly because they knows where to stop when to start. The poor people often makes it obvious that they must gamble for their breakthrough.

There is no exception to gambling addiction among humans; both the rich, the middle class, and the poor can all be addicted to gambling; so far, they are humans, and they will still have the feeling of doubling their money in one way or the other someday.

I have seen and heard of how a rich person turns out to be a gambler addict. Their intentions were to double their money in the short run to expand their businesses; they never knew it would lead to selling their properties to cover up their losses. By the time realize their mistakes, their wealth has gone low

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.

It's a different case for me. Most of the addicted people that I am seeing are from the poor. Yes, you've heard that right because they're the ones that are hoping that they can have much money from gambling and it's a way for them to become rich easily. That's the mindset that has been embedded to their minds and that's why all of their hopes are being put to gambling and making their ways through it despite that it's not always good result that comes out. While there are rich people that are addicted to gambling and there are stories of being rich that turned out poor later on for selling all of their hard earned assets when they've become addicted to it.

It's simple, rich people don't believe in luck, they work hard and focus on business, not gambling.
However, there are rich people who don't need to work due to inheritances from affluent families.  
Many of them may gamble for easy money, but those who become rich through hard work and business often lack the time for gambling.

In general, gambling addiction isn’t confined to the poor, it also impacts all social classes, though the patterns and effects always matter.  
While poorer people tend to have higher rates of addiction, the middle and upper classes can also be affected in their own ways.

One of the main reasons why people from the lower and middle classes are more addicted to gambling is that these two classes of people believe that it is possible to change their fortunes overnight through gambling and consider it one of the main sources of income. The lower and middle class people are always short of money and they always try to find some way from which they dream of becoming rich overnight. Gambling is considered as a way to become rich for them and from there a kind of invisible greed is created in them due to which they are attracted to gambling. The rich class does not have this lack of money, due to which they do not need to worry about their source of income. That is why the rich class is seen to be a little less attracted to gambling.

The rich understands gambling more better than the poor, that you have to play for fun and not for money, they don't have time at all, they are always engaged on how to make more money for themselves and are very prudent in spending, they believe in getting their yield back on any business they put their money, they don't have time for putting their money into where they will not benefit from and since they already have money, they are comfortable, they reason to enlarge their firm.
They also get addicted but not as common as the middle class and the poor because they can easily control their gambling habit

The poor believes they can make some money from gambling since they don't have any source of income and are unemployed, this is due to poverty mentality, instead of them to use the little they have to establish a small business they believe putting it in gambling we produce them bigger yield that will make them achieve a better life without them knowing that they are far from it and when expectations are not met, they end up becoming an addicted gambler due to lack of understanding the gambling rules and regulations.

A poor person sees gambling as a money making center which it is not and so they put in all their resources trying to make money out of it and when not fort coming, becomes frustrated and that is why alot of persons sees gamblers as failure and does not want to be associated with.

[Hispo]

It is still possible for the rich to get addicted to gambling, specially those who do not use their time and effort to conyinue to grow their fortune and prefer to spend their money in pleasure and leisure activities.
Though, there is a big difference between the rich and the poor when comes to their average approach to gambling, obviously, there will be poor people who get attracted to gambling as a medium to escape their situation, thanks to the kind of advertisement jackpots get and how lottery winners happen to appear on TV getting those giant checks from the organization which manages the lottery. Those amounts of money, in general millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars, do not appeal to people who are already within the range of millionaires or billionaires, no reason for them to play lotteries or spend money on slots.

Advertisement from casinos are targeted to the middle class of several countries and the poor, but not to the rich in general.

The reason for this happening is that the more number of poor people are more desperate to make it quicker and they feel that by playing this games, they can achieve their aims faster. They feel that gambling is their way out of poverty and that is not to be viewed in that manner. If they come to be the ones with such intentions, then we will likely see more poor people getting poorer here and also see more poor people addicted to gambling.

The middle class and the rich class who already know this only use money they can afford to lose while gambling and they stop immediately their limit is reached. The poor then begin to compare themselves to them and sometimes have the perspective that if it is not through gambling, they can never make it big in this life. This is how some of them thinks and continue to decline in their financial status.

Poor people are more likely to be addicted to gambling than the rich and middle class because poor people always want to be very rich and live a luxurious life. Poor people do not want to be poor, because of their lack they choose to gamble to get rich very quickly and many choose it. There are many people in my country who are very poor, they always gamble in the hope of getting rich very quickly but at the end of the day they lose more.

Only poor people are not addicted to gambling to change their lives very quickly. In particular, when the rich are gambling, they lost no problem because they have more money. And if they want they can use it in a more sense.  Gambling is everyone if you do for fun or enjoy most of the time. Then you will never be addicted. Even if the rich start gambling regularly, they will gradually be addicted. Here the rich and the poor will be addicted to anyone who will be less or more addicted to themselves, for example, how much time he is spending gambling. Nevertheless, the middle class or the poor are not less in any part of the rich, all to make money by gambling at the same speed. I think gambling is not a good way to improve life. Everyone here will lose.

In your social context, you may have said that but it should vary from place to place. In my context, I see that people of every class keep themselves involved in gambling. Gamblers of any class, rich or middle class, tend to be addicted. If you gamble with high class gamblers, you may think that middle or lower class people may not be so involved in gambling. Low and middle class gamblers may limit their thinking in the same way.

Poor gamblers addiction directly affects their families and society, but high class gamblers do not have such a negative impact. They have sufficient financial resources and money to meet the daily needs of their families. I think that the tendency to gamble is present in people of every class, rich, middle class and poor. Its impact on society may be different due to differences in ability.

Everyone could be addicted for everything its never been work like this poor people addicted and have problems rich are also have same problems, but usually they handle them better, or they have sources to getting out of them which give them advantage.
In many cases things works for all because here we need willpower for coming out of this addiction this does not need person is rich or poor its need strong mindset and approach to handle situation many rich peoples gone bankrupt due to their addiction in gambling or intoxication.
Here for avoiding things like these always family role is important because they can help person to return to normal and have better life even this has never been easy but still possible with here again rich had advantage and poor suffer because usually had not favor due to available sources.

Okay, I saved your ass and added a question mark there so, at least I can understand it's a question  .... right?

A large number of the younger generation have gotten into addiction just because it's a thing in their era (as they often say). Peer pressure/ influence has been so strong in the couple of years down the line that if a kid in the gen z era isn't careful, they ruin their lives and stay forever locked up in jail.

Poor people gets more addicted, following the middle class before it gets to the rich.

I stand to be corrected, but I don't think addiction really depends on any of those criterias. You could be as rich and as influential as -- but your habits and personal live doesn't get affected by your affluence. Infact, having enough in stock will be a solid reason why most rich people diehard in gambling...

[jcojci]

That is because poor people have a dream getting rich from gambling. They underestimate about the reality that gambling can make them lose everything they have. They just see gambling is a way to make money so whenever they have money, they will use it to playing gambling.

Even they don't control over themselves in gambling so that make them addicted to gambling slowly. Suppose they realize that gambling is not a source of income, they will not trying to gambling or spend too much money but they will think how they can use limit money to have a small home business.

While the rich people know that gambling is just an entertainment. They don't gambling too long because they are very busy and have many things to do. That will different from the other society class so rich people know how they use their time.

you only think that there are more poor people addicted in gambling because it is always the poor that are being reported for losing money

rich people get addicted in gambling maybe even more since they have more money to spend we just do not hear about it often since their wealth makes us think that they are invincible and they do not get harmed by gambling the truth is it just takes a long time for them to lose money in gambling since they have a lot

The reason why more poor people become addicted is because there are more poor people than rich people, and many poor people are too desperate with the difficulty of making a lot of money so they choose gambling to achieve what they want, even though their hearts know that gambling does not provide certainty of winning.

[Darker45]

As far as my country is concerned, gambling mostly preys upon the poor. I don't think there's one reason for this. There must be a combination of factors. For one, it's the poor who needs to court lady luck for a change in life. Also, it's ironic, but the poor are mostly the ones who have so much idle time. Moreover, they're also the ones who lack basic financial education. They're also the ones who are mostly irresponsible when it comes to finances.

I could be mistaken, but the top 10 richest families in my country are probably not into gambling. At the bottom, however, people would even borrow, pawn their phones and other appliances for the sake of gambling.

[Samlucky O]

Both poor and rich get addicted just that the poor Gambler will always make people know of his loses but the rich will never tell anyone of his loses and how his addicted but rather bear the pain alone. The rich take high risk to gamble with huge amount with less odd, which they win more often than lose, why the poor usually stake small amount with high odd, making the possibility of wining more difficult and they get more addicted to Gambling than the rich.

Rich people, just like poor people, are addicted not only to gambling, but also, for example, to drugs. This is a fairly common phenomenon among the children of wealthy parents. Isn't Hunter Biden an example of that? Moreover, this phenomenon has always been there, historical novels are filled with characters such as the heir who lost the inheritance in gambling.

However, since there are more poor people than rich people, and, consequently, there are more addicted gamblers among them, it seems that there are almost no addicts among the richest. Of course, there is also such a factor that the rich play out of boredom, out of idleness, and the poor play to escape from poverty.

Therefore, instead of a simple explanation, theories are sometimes invented that rich people are special, they are not like everyone else, "they are even resistant to gambling addiction!" and other fantasies. For probably a hundred years now, all it takes for a person to become rich is to be born into the right family. This is precisely the origin of the vast majority of the rich, and not at all due to some unimaginable business talents. There are talents in every generation, too, but their share is negligible.
