Why don't the rich people get addicted easily?

[Agbe]

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.

If a poor gambler loses money, he cannot easily accept this loss and keeps on betting again and again to recover the previous loss. In this way, a poor gambler loses a lot of money in gambling.
But a rich gambler is not so serious about money and even if he loses more than once in gambling, his mentality does not change and he accepts gambling as if the previous losses did not matter to him.
It is true that if a rich gambler loses, he does not share his defeat on the streets, but if a poor gambler loses, he publicizes his defeat.

You are right and your logic is right a poor gambler can never accept his loss and he keeps depositing there again and again to recover his loss and if he does not have money then he borrows from his friends and if he has any arrangement to take loan then he does not hesitate to gamble even with high interest loan. And as a result he is harmed in many ways and it also happens that when gamblers take a lot of money in loan then they can commit suicide because they are not able to pay that loan. Gambling can destroy a person in all aspects. This is a common thing. And rich people never take their loss seriously that is why they do not continue gambling to recover their loss they only take fun from it

That's true the poor is only person's are only interested in making money from gambling which is a bad thing to consider because there's no guarantee of you making it through gambling but the rich can't get addicted from gambling because they do gambling not with the mindset of making money by all means, the poor people should know that true wealth is nat made through gambling this is where the poor is getting it wrong

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.

you are correct it is the poor people who are always addicted to gambling not the rich guys, take for example a rich man who has businesses and other things that usually Fitch him money will be always busy he will not even have time to know the clubs that are playing to match, because his very busy, but a poor with no job are people who normally have the full time for gambling, they always know the clubs that will play even before the match day and funny part is that they know all the clubs in all the league and even the name of all the players playing in all leagues but rich guys hardly the first 11 the clubs his fanning.

Most of the views of poor people in gambling are that they think that they will be lucky by being able to get a big win that changes their life, but instead of winning it makes them more difficult in other words, they are addicted to gambling without looking at their own financial situation.

There is no guarantee that rich people are not addicted, everyone has their own mindset and views, in my opinion there are also rich people who are

I cannot agree with you. I have seen rich people get addicted to gambling. They cannot control their emotions in gambling. After losing in gambling, they scream and express their emotions and start playing again. They continue to gamble and set their time aside for business. You might say that rich gamblers are indifferent to being involved with their families and they spend more time making money. They do a lot more research on the teams before betting than poor gamblers and they can win. An example of poor gamblers is that they spend their time gambling for profit rather than entertainment. They do not research the teams before betting and as a result they lose most of the time and are addicted to gambling.

More of poor people being or getting addicted than the rich folks does not necessarily mean that the number of poor people gambling are higher than the number of rich people, as a matter of fact, it maybe very possible that more rich people are gambling but the number of poor people that are addicted are higher simply because the poor are gambling for money while the rich are gambling for entertainment.

This two are very different, someone gambling for money will over gamble, will chase after his loses, will spend more time and resource on gambling because to them, gambling is almost like their business, or it's actually a business..
But the rich already have money, they are OK financially and only seeking pleasure from gambling, they gamble with what they can afford to lose and rest when they lose it, they don't have to chase after their lose because they have more than enough money to cover for what they have lost, this is why almost every gambling addict we see is a poor man.

Good question and the reason is on the title of your thread- it's because they are rich.

Rich people have the mindset and goal of primarily having fun. They do not need the cash in gambling in order for them to have fun. What they are seeking is the feeling of anxiety and thrill whenever they wager huge amounts of money on their end. Regardless if they win or not, they will walk out happy in the casino knowing that they are still damn rich.

With that being said, in contrast to other people who are not considered rich perse, they have the mindset of winning money in gambling. The expectation of winning the jackpot or huge amounts of cash gets them addicted pretty easily compared if you see this activity for entertainment.

[Dunamisx]

Not that the rich don't also get addicted, but they understand how they could manage the way they are gambling and it will be very difficult for one to notice about their addiction, all because they have the money to always use for gambling.

I can accept that the rich don't get addicted easily, but they can also be addicted if they are not gambling responsibly, but it will be hardly noticed, most of the average class gamblers got noticed easily because they are not being reserved and could barely manage to afford gambling in some situations.

[Baki202]

I believe that the rich also get addicted like the poor but the difference is that addiction is more noticable with the poor because they will become broke and be looking for where to borrow to fund their addiction. The poor that are gambling to win big and become rich are very desperate to win because they don't have sufficient income to continue gambling if they are not winning. If an addicted rich person loses a huge amount, the impact won't be much because they will recover the lose from another source of income and the addition will not be noticable. I believe that addiction is more of a habit than a the financial statues of gamblers.

The issue of addiction shows how greedy people can be, so there are more reasons why you work on yourself than there are to work on yourself when gambling. For sure, there will be people who will have lost everything to gambling just because they refused to do what is right, so clearly enough, when making decisions, you just have to make the right one, so there is no reason to give too much energy to gambling. So there are enough ways that you can make things easy for yourself when gambling because being rich does not mean that you won't go broke if you don't work on intention on management of resources.

And as a rich person, I think their focus is supposed to be on how to make other investments and not just gambling, and the amount you gamble when you are rich does not affect you, so the best you can do is to do more business and gamble less.

less not argue blindly we have to realistic on This matter and I want to ask you just few questions and I want I sincere answer from you, first question I believe you have been to gambling hall, which people do you normally see their? Second question have enter any gambling location and see cars of rich men who came to gamble pack outside or have you even see rich men dominating a gambling hall ? Third question how many business men who rich which you know that they addicted to gambling? Note am not just saying things because I want to talk I have been manager of a gambling office  for 4 times for years I haven't seen rich getting addicted to gambling like poor men even if they are rich guys who are addicted to gambling they are rear to find.

[Proty]

The poor and rich have different mindset that is why they aren't in the same class.The rich have a different believe when it comes to wealth, they believe that wealth can be acquire through hard work and dedication.most of the poor people have the mindset that they can stumble upon wealth without working for it that is the main reason why the poor prioritise gambling more than the rich and they easily get addicted to gambling.

Most of the addicted gamblers are people that are leaving a life without focus and Direction,they are always looking for short cut to everything so they think they can escape poverty through gambling.

However even the rich folks too, do get addicted to gambling but majority of the gamblers are mostly poor folks.

Simply because poor needed money the most compare to middle and rich class that’s why they are easily hooked on gambling due to the wrong assumption that gambling can give a quick rich opportunity due to the maximum win it can offer on their games.

Poor people is easy to believe on anything that has a potential to earn big money quickly that’s why the6 are also being frequently victimized by different investment schemes like ponzi.

Middle and rich people usually prioritize their job as source of income rather than relying on other source that’s why it’s very rare for them to get addicted.

[Akbarkoe]

Both poor and rich people are equally susceptible to addiction, especially if they do not have good control over their emotions and gambling.

The only reason why rich people are not easily addicted to gambling is because with the financial freedom they have, they are always able to let go of every defeat they experience. Unlike poor people, one defeat is very significant and it is not easy for them to let go and forget it, something that makes them continue to return to gambling in the hope of being able to return what has been lost, which ultimately makes them trapped in addiction.

[stompix]

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.

Two things:
- the majority of the people are not rich, so obviously, just as you have more middle-class people buying Pepsi you will have fewer rich guys buying Pepsi as overall numbers
- People who get addicted badly to gambling are also people who lose money fast, so you're not going to see poor people getting up with gambling and becoming middle class but you're going to see a lot of rich people becoming middle class or poor by losing money in gambling

Then, there is the perception problem: how many people who make over $1 million a year do you know, and how many who make less than $10k you know? With a biased sample, you will simply draw a biased conclusion, much like people who live in their own bubble.

The poor and rich have different mindset that is why they aren't in the same class.The rich have a different believe when it comes to wealth, they believe that wealth can be acquire through hard work and dedication.

Sorry, but this is BS, there are hundreds of sons of billionaires out there who would die laughing reading this.

[rachael9385]

I have seen exactly this somewhere before that the rich people are less addicted to gambling. I think this is because they are gambling not to make money, unlike someone that is not rich. I have seen people that are not rich going to a betting shop before betting on parley with little amount of money like $1 for odds of over 10 to 1000x. They will keep doing this and they will keep losing. Rich men will not think like this because they will likely not expect luck like people that are not rich. Also rich people have sources of income that is right for them which will let them not think of gambling as one.

A poor man can keep gambling with the little he has aiming for big wins and always losing, you'd wonder why they keep trying inspite of their failures, they believe that they can end up winning a huge amount of money someday with the little they bet with but they tend to lose track of the fact that their losses keeps on compounding. Rich people on the other hand are more coordinated because they don't Chase profits

[Hispo]

Sorry, but this is BS, there are hundreds of sons of billionaires out there who would die laughing reading this.

Right, people seem to forget that most of the wealth in this planet come from inheritances and there are people out there who happen to be rich since the very moment they were born and have never worried about money in their life, most of the times it is not about working hard but being born in the right family, living in the right country.
There are some examples of self-made billionaires, but their are rare and they managed to get that status due to a brilliant idea and their sense of vision towards the future.

Rich people can be become addicted to gambling but since they have all their needs covered, it is rather rare for them to become addicted.
Sadly, one can be very hard working and have some good mentality and point of view towards the world and the future, but that does not gurantee one will be millionaire or billionaire.

Both do have the same vulnerability to gambling addiction. Rich gamblers can also go bankrupt when they gamble uncontrollably. Addiction can change them from rich to poor.
Emotional control in gambling should also be owned by poor gamblers. It's just that with a small income, forced to gamble, of course, it's not the pleasure you want to get but luck.
Every gambler must be able to forget their defeat, whether rich or poor. If you decide to gamble, it's better not to get caught up in the ambition of chasing defeat or winning the jackpot.

[bitzizzix]

And I think that is because rich people gamble for fun and entertainment with unlimited money that they can do anytime just to get satisfaction from gambling because they consider gambling as a challenge to beat something that should not be defeated and is indeed fun, so when victory or luck is obtained there will be satisfaction that they can do without thinking about previous defeats even though many because they are supported by good finances and even though they are addicted it will not have a bad impact because their money is unlimited and can also be easily cured and whatever the problem is if money talks it will definitely be resolved. While poor people gamble to gain profit or make money with limited money which will have a bad impact if addicted, namely potentially harming others and also yourself and there are still many other negative things that will worsen the situation.

Rich won't achieved their status if they are easily tempted or addicted onto something like gambling.
There are still rich that achieve their wealth also through gambling like they hit the jackpot but I think many will just get poor easily because of their habit.

We can also have a rich that suddenly gets addicted into gambling. They have lots of resources so it is only easy for them to get addicted. As for the poor, they can use gambling to change their life. They keep on trying and making them addicted or at least look like it. But there are also poor that don't gamble because they are poor and they don't want their life to be more miserable.

I think that Yes, that rich people can very quickly become addicted to butts and completely lose control of themselves.
The thing is that if we judge by Maslow's pyramid, then for rich people almost all needs are closed and they still have a need for spiritual entertainment and some moral pleasures. And gambling for them is not so much a way to enrich themselves as a way of self-affirmation.

But there are also poor that don't gamble because they are poor and they don't want their life to be more miserable.

Rich people who are suddenly addicted and play without any restrictions can also be dangerous, they can lose all their wealth if they play without restrictions and lose more money,
which is an addiction that cannot be underestimated and will be a problem for anyone with any social status.

Poor people have a lot of hope of winning with little capital because they can only survive with that little money,
but rich people who just play without thinking about their profits are also wasting money in vain.

It is better to play with the limits of the poor or rich so that everything can be controlled, how many losses and wins occur so that you know how much money is spinning.
Don't let gambling that was initially a pleasure turn into misery.
