Why don't the rich people get addicted easily?

[Chilwell]

Some are not addicted to the being a winner, they are addicted to the satisfaction they feel when gambling, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose it's just something they can't control. People like this would go to any length to get money just for them to fuel their gambling addiction. Both the rich and poor people might go through this, it's kind of a mental disorder and it takes a lot of discipline to stop

Beside gamblers addict doesn't gamble to make money, they gamble to feel good, excited and entertained. And they can do whatever it takes to gamble even if they have to borrow money to gamble, just as you said. and this is probably the perfect definition of irresponsible gambling. Because sometimes this may have a great negative impact on the life of the gambler and that of his family, and it may lead to a great disaster. Anyone can fall a victim of being addicted to gambling, no matter their economic status, either rich or poor depending on their level of gambling.

Both depend on the behavior of the gambler, if both have responsible gambling behavior then both will have differences and will tend to cause addiction for poor people. Rich people gamble just for fun because without gambling their finances are already good which allows them not to play to make money and just to enjoy the game and have the sensation and challenge of trying to beat the dealer who is indeed difficult to beat, while poor people even though they play just for fun and are also responsible in the long term have the potential to get addicted faster or easier because they definitely gamble with the aim of making money because the circumstances that make them play slowly become uncontrollable and if it continues like that the potential for addiction will be very vulnerable. Although both can cause addiction, in reality addiction often occurs or occurs more in poor people.

Anyone can get seriously addicted to gambling whether it is the poor, middle class or the rich people. I think any gamblers who frequently visits and play at online casinos would have noticed there are sometimes a page which indicate high rollers betting stats on that certain casino, and judging by the amount wagered by those high rollers, I would believe they are certainly rich enough as they are able to wager with those high staggering amount of money in a casino.

They are not showy enough for us to see their addiction. They gamble without worrying about losing but rather gamble for fun. Unlike poor and average gamblers, who always complain about their losses and commit debts. Their gambling behavior is completely different. They act normally, and greed is not in their mind. Aside from that, they treated gambling differently, which makes them feel they are just spending on something that gives them happiness and life satisfaction. With this kind of insight, we never expect them to fall into the trap of addiction.

[Dunamisx]

There are addicted gamblers both as rich and as poor or average class gamblers, but how each one of them package themselves matters and serves as the major reasons why they were seem as being addicted or not, everyone of us cant be the same, if we carefully checked on how we are gambling, we could deduce form our own end how some have been found with unethical gambling manners, while some have maintained a responsible gambling over the years, because they have the sense of why it is needed of them to do so as they are gambling and being entertained.

That's true, anyone can get addicted to gambling irrespective of their financial status but like what the OP was saying, it's only poor people that mostly get addicted to gambling compare to the number of rich people that are addicted. In my country as well, most of the addicted gamblers that are roaming the street are not rich, even some of them that have made betting centers their living home are not rich people, so of them are even jobless. Most rich people worldwide stay away from gambling and some of them don't take it so serious but only do it occasionally.

Because poor people try their luck in gambling as some people say, they don't want to try to build wealth from a long process but maybe their thinking can be a shortcut, right? The poor people's thinking can be like this? Rich people already know the risks of gambling, they will focus more on other businesses that make money --- because when they have a lot of money, it's easier for them to do it than the initial process.

I wonder why some people thinks that addiction only happens with poor set of fork's, since gambling addiction is mostly displayed and shown on the poor guys much more than the rich fork's, and the reason for that is the available fund's at the dispense of the rich much more that what the poor can afford, and since majority of people judge addictions based on the financial impact on the individuals.


Aside from financial ability between both, all other gambling addiction symptoms can display on the rich guys also, regardless of how they package it with the money they have.

Even rich gamblers can become addicts because we know that addictions do not discriminate. This often happens to poor people because most of them are desperate to win or hit the jackpot in gambling.

Unlike the rich, it is not like that, some rich gamblers only become desperate when the addiction has developed in their character as gamblers because they no longer have the so-called control over themselves.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

RICH PEOPLE: have their money, they have the stack you need in gambling.
Therefore, they are playing with peacve of mind that even they lose they they have a lot tomorrow.
they are just happy doing it. making their selves happy.

while when you are poor, you are playing in line, there might be no torrow or no money after a few bets.
when they osse their minds are set i wll have money again and be back to get what i lose.

[BITCOIN4X]

Rich people don't get addicted easily. I think there's only one reason and that's because they no longer try their luck at gambling. Rich people gamble for fun, while other gamblers gamble for money and become more addicted to it.

Gambling for money and gambling for fun have different approaches and both have different impacts. Classic gamblers who gamble for money play gambling by relying on luck and strategy, while rich gamblers can gamble on whatever makes them happy. They do not gamble all the time, but only on a few occasions if they wish to do so.

[nara1892]

IMO, one of the reasons why more poor people are addicted than rich people is because rich people usually have a different mindset towards money and towards something they will do, usually they have very good money management or it can also be said that they will not be too serious in doing anything that has uncertain profit potential, such as gambling for example which really depends on the probability of winning.

So in simple terms I think rich people have more considerations before they allocate their money to something, they will not take it too seriously if the field they are going to do is uncertain, as I said above, it depends on probability, while one of the things that causes poor people to be more addicted is because of several factors, usually because of the pressure of financial circumstances that make them justify any means to get money, the addiction scenario usually begins with success in achieving the first victory.

[mak013]

Rich people don`t have a reason "bet all my money to become rich instantly". Rich people mostly have good education and can calculate chances and analyze information. It is the main difference between rich and poor people. All other things depends on gambler as you said.

You're on point mate, I see some people with the contradiction that poor people are even more careful when it comes to gamble,  but that perception is wrong. Most of the poor is as a result of no jobs or low paying jobs and they'll always want to to meet up with life's expectations and that usually is the reason they start gambling to increase their funds without considering the probability of losing everything. And just as you said lack of proper education for the poor doesn't give them an hedge to having very high IQ and forsee some certain things until they've experienced it. And of a truth education doesn't just make us literate persons it also helps build and expand our brain thinking faculty to solve very critical problems.

All people differs, so it is possible that poor people play more careful. But it is true just for some of them. And it is true for the rich people, some of them more careful than others. But statistics is about big numbers and the percent of poor people with problems will be higher than same percent of rich people. Just due to named two factors.

I wonder why some people thinks that addiction only happens with poor..

Because most people don't care if a rich person can get addicted with gambling, obviously that person has enough money to burn with excessive gambling.
While, a poor person who got addicted with gambling, he can become a problem not only with his family but in the society. When that person runs out of money, he can potentially become a thief and potentially become violent. Nobody wants that to happen around our community, right? This is very similar to drug addition. Their desire and hunger to gamble would fuel them to do whatever they think they can to acquire money even if it means illegal. So, this is the reason why most people focused their attention to poor people who got addicted in gambling.

Both depend on the behavior of the gambler, if both have responsible gambling behavior then both will have differences and will tend to cause addiction for poor people. Rich people gamble just for fun because without gambling their finances are already good which allows them not to play to make money and just to enjoy the game and have the sensation and challenge of trying to beat the dealer who is indeed difficult to beat, while poor people even though they play just for fun and are also responsible in the long term have the potential to get addicted faster or easier because they definitely gamble with the aim of making money because the circumstances that make them play slowly become uncontrollable and if it continues like that the potential for addiction will be very vulnerable. Although both can cause addiction, in reality addiction often occurs or occurs more in poor people.

The rich also get addicted to gambling but just that it's just few of them unlike the poor that puts all their hopes in winnings from gambling, and it makes most of them fall into addiction. The rich take higher risks despite that they gamble for fun but since they are rich already, they want any amount they win to also come with a huge amount the only thing they do is that they bet on few events with high amounts, but the poor will use a very little amount to win big which makes it difficult to win. A rich man can bet 10 times and even if he wins just once it can cover up the losses, but a poor man can bet 100 times and still not win because their accumulated odds are higher.

[LUCKMCFLY]

heoretically, you can drive yourself into such a deep debt hole from which it will be almost impossible to get out, so the rich can have huge problems if they do not stop in time.

When these kinds of things happen, that's when people get most desperate, lose control, and spend more money instead of making a plan to rebuild their money through investments , That's when people have to become much smarter, seek help from advisors , do whatever it takes to get back on their feet But in gambling, when people get caught up in it, that's when they have the most Problems of all kinds , That's why even the rich have a really bad time when they don't have Good Control.

[Slimzeee]

I will say the rich is already up there to start with, which means with or without the gambling, they can still have something to cater for their needs.
As for the poor, they see gambling as an escape route, thereby putting all dependence upon it. And when they have lost, they still dive in more

[Jaycoinz]

It doesn't matter if they are rich or poor people could still get addicted to gambling it only depends on how well they could control it and how much they could spend on it.
For me the only difference is the amount that they could risk in gambling.
They might not be addicted to the profit or gains but the feeling of winning or being a winner hitting big or something else.

Some are not addicted to the being a winner, they are addicted to the satisfaction they feel when gambling, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose it's just something they can't control. People like this would go to any length to get money just for them to fuel their gambling addiction. Both the rich and poor people might go through this, it's kind of a mental disorder and it takes a lot of discipline to stop

Gambling is something that affects both the rich and the poor if you abuse it and that's why there are even rich dudes who suffer from this habit and just the way the poor or low standard gambler suffer it's the same for rich dude and in some cases the rich gamblers goes through enough trummer than the poor dude because they gamble at a rate that when it's starts telling on them their regrets from coming from a place where they were comfortable to where it's inconvenient tells on their mental health.

You are right, when a gambler is into gambling and does not have control of himself over gambling activities, it's obvious that the gambler will become addicted in the future. Like you have said it before that it doesn't matter whether you are rich, poor or mind class gambler, if you are not responsible in gamble you will also end as an addict gambler. Frequently visiting a casinos house or casino site can also make you become addicted. The point is just gamble responsibly in way that guy knows will be better and will not make you to become gamble addicts.

It's hard to in that shoe when every kind of people deals with it. That is true that both rich and poor get to experience this and no one can skip it until they have recognized that they are the ones who are in control to stop addiction if they want to. The discipline that this requires is a lot and someone who's got through with so many problems aside from gambling addiction is hardly going to overcome this and the rich people are not exempted with that.

from the people I talk too the poor usually go more for the thrill and are gambling solely on the hope of making more money
people that already have more disposable income and understand money better end up having some kind of system to manage bankroll and risk, they understand risk better and they avoid gambling when they aren't grounded and present (like when they're sleepy, anxious or angry)

these simple things already go a long way
