Why don't the rich people get addicted easily?

[Furious 7]

Addiction isn’t about how much money you have, it’s more about mindset, with people who have fewer resources, it shows more because the lack of money or the loss is way more visible.

If we are to measure addiction by how much one spends, it should be after knowing the gambler's worth to subtract what they are spending from what they are earning. If it's too much, then we have to consider them as gamblers who spend aggressively, but that's not the case; it's all about mindset, like you said, but more on behaviour and the type of attention they put to gambling over other things in life. Once a gambler puts gambling as their top priority over work and family, then I consider them as being addicted.

It can be true that those who are too focused on gambling will be closely related to those who do spend their money in gambling because this will be considered a risk that they must feel because they have felt addicted to gambling.
This condition becomes interconnected when a gambler's mind is too fixated on gambling, consciously or unconsciously the domino effect that is felt is that they lose their property as the worst possibility and that is common for gambling addicts.

So when it comes to the issue of addiction, I think we have many considerations depending on the characteristics that show indications of whether the gambler is addicted or not.

I feel one big reason rich people do not get addicted easily is because they really do not care about the money the same way.. The rich relationship with money is very different for others.. And what the rich stake is usually small compared to what they already have, so there is no pressure to win back anything.. It is more for fun and entertainment and not survival...

For poorer people, the money means a lot more for them.. One win can be like a life changing opportunity, so the emotional attachment is stronger for them.. That is where addiction comes in sometimes, chasing losses most times hoping for a miracle, playing with money that is actually needed in their real life.. And also, rich people usually have more discipline and more things competing for their attention than gambling..

Money and financial management is a remarkable skill nowadays and having it in certain states completely changes the status of the person, a great swagger will always be seen compared to a spendthrift in virtue and in gambling above all, so i am not surprised that there are people who spend everything on gambling

I agree with this, because money management really changes everything about a person. When someone knows how to control their finances, you can see it in how they move, how they think, and even how they speak. There is a certain calm and confidence that comes with discipline. It is not loud, but it is noticeable. Compared to someone who spends carelessly, especially on gambling, the difference is very clear.

Without financial control, it is easy for someone to throw everything into it, hoping for a big win to fix their situation. But without management, even a win does not last. Money also comes and goes quickly.

Somehow it's a tradition like kind of a thing, rich people wanted to developed their children the way they established their wealth, at their early age they are already exposed to what potentials business or investment that they may start or in some way education will be a good foundation then strong guidance to make sure that those young heir will be ready once it's their time to takeover, again considering gambling as part of socialization and not a main focus of their time that's why there's only few rich people who are addicted to gambling.

I don't know how it could be that a rich person can easily become addictive to gambling. Most people that become addicted to gambling are those that are looking for quick way to make profits from betting so that they can flex the money or use it to settle some billings that are essential for them. Most rich people does not understand the language of being broke and they can not relate to that.

If you're looking for fast money you will always become addicted in gambling and nothing can stop you from betting always. If you have alot of money sometimes he can make you become addicted because the more you lose or win you will like to bet more the get your recovery finds. But some that are rich I don't think they like betting like other that looking for money they bet for fun and poor people focus on gambling most, because they get the believe that betting have more money then other things if they bet because even with small funds you can get huge profit but is just a lucky game you can't get sure of wining because is always unpredictable.

Do we know that addition in gambling can happen to anybody neither rich or poor you can be addicted in gambling because of greediness and over willingly can make someone to be addicted in gambling especially when you have a primary budget of what you use what you benefit from gambling and do

So a rich person who is not greedy will not be addicted in gambling but a rich person who is greedy will it be addicted in gambling, that is what we need to understand about gambling and it's addiction.

It's not just greed that makes one addicted. Therefore a rich person that is not greedy can still be addicted to gambling.
I have come to realise that one of the major reason gamblers get addicted is because of the reason behind gambling.

There is how the human brain works it sticks to what you start with,
Of cause you want comfort, you want money, you want something that can distract you from reality, you also want to have fun,
Your brain know all these so what ever you do that you consider as a way to settle these issues your brain will want to go back to it except you change the source.

And most people use gambling as a source to achieve all these and it will definitely let to addiction if you do it for a period of time for these reasons. Because your brain will consider it as rest or more money!!

To become an addict, what is needed is to have poor control of emotions and of what one wants in life We, or the people who are entering into addiction, know that they are entering and yet they do not stop Addiction, from the beginning, is a choice that the person makes, as ugly as it sounds, but that is how it is.

It starts with a sign, and they think they can control it, and it later extends to a level where they find it difficult to control, and it turns out to now be a part of them which they can no longer live without. Once a sign of lack of control appears in gambling, the person should never ignore it; if not, heavy addiction will later be the end result.

[xenomorfo]

With regards this, people's spending habit differes and joins to contribute to how much they are willing to gamble with even if they are addicted or not. The likes of drake who can be rightly categorised as a rich dude gambler with an amount that's damn outrageous and to an extent, it's possible he's still not addicted. With that, it only means that there's a part of this discussion where a person gambles more because he is addicted and another part that a person gambles more just because he has the means of doing so. Putting both scenario into consideration, we have to come to a realisation that every one gets addicted in different ways and that sometimes, addiction is not only about the amount spent in gambling. The frequency of your gambling even while using a smaller amount is also a form of addiction.

Addiction does not depend, excuse the turn of phrase, on how much money you put in absolutely. If you earn $100,000 and bet $1,000 a week, that's a small amount. However, if you earn $1,000 a month and spend 100 a month on bets, it is a large amount, because we are talking about more than 10%. So it always depends on whether you can afford that expense, that's the thing that makes it clear whether you're addicted or not.

I think this is an ongoing process, you can't consider yourself overly confident that you will always be able to control yourself just because you are doing it well right now. Anything can happen, and even a bad run or a losing streak can create conditions where you might give in to the temptation to change something. And that is already a prerequisite for gambling to take on a different role in your life, especially if after that a decision is made to bet more instead of taking a pause.

Most of the poor and middle class see gambling as a means of easy profit. Those who gamble because of addiction see gambling as an investment suffer more financially. But the rich do not like it, if they lose one bet, they do not take another bet to withdraw money and if they want to invest, they do not invest in gambling but invest in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

Another big reason is that the rich do not believe in luck. They gamble based on their knowledge, skills, statistics and experience, so they do not make wrong decisions based on emotions. Therefore, in most cases, the poor and middle class are more affected by gambling than the rich and gamble again to recover this money and become addicted, as a result, the poor are more addicted to gambling than the rich.

Self control is very important when gambling and people that know that they are gambling for the money should be intelligent enough not to gamble for too long because that is where the problem might arise. Gambling is not really safe for people without a strong disciplined mindset and can lead to addiction with time if appropriate measures are not taken.

I partly concur, however, money does not mean no addiction. The most important distinction is pressure and consequences. Wealthy gamblers tend to consider gambling as a leisure, not a profession and can absorb losses without going after it. Less fortunate gamblers tend to gamble to get out of financial difficulties and therefore whenever they lose, they make emotional choices and bet again. This pursuing habit brings about an addiction. It does not really have to do with believing in luck and more it has to do with the expectation, risk control, and the hurt of paying unaffordable overtime money worldwide at this time.

You are right. Gamblers need to live a controlled life to avoid the possibility of gambling addiction. If you know that the chances of losing money are high, you can practice defensive gambling. This means making small amount of bets and stopping gambling at any point.

To have self control you really need to be a disciplined and patient gambler. Being patient is not easy, it can be achieved through practice. Being responsible for your family is an important way to have self control. The most effective way to have self control is to manage your finances. Keep a separate and fixed amount of funds for gambling. In my opinion, bankroll management is one of the ways to have self control.

Both the rich and the poor also cry Because of gambling addiction, many rich kids have sold their parents property for gambling and are now homeless on the street. Same to poor people, they uses funds meant for their feeding into gambling, that's why we malnutrited children on the street. Gambling addiction is a general problem and we must control it by ourselves. Whether you're rich or your poor, you must learn to control your gambling habit.

The Rich are not easily addicted because they can still lose tna and eat at home, they have enough money to play around but the poor went into gambling to be rich, so they keep tying everyday to escape poverty. But h Rich people play to multiple their money or is just a bad habit. But both cry when the addiction is permanent.

It is better for you to reserve your money than for you to lose it because you are desperate to gamble and make money.
Gambling should not make us desperate because you don't know whether you are going to make profits from your bets or you are going to lose it. Nobody is going to give you that guarantee even though you are given a sure bet with high chances of winning.

I know gambling addiction is a problem for both rich and poor but mostly common among the poor. The main reasons why the poor masses easily get addicted is because of the fact that they depends mostly on gambling for there survival and they believe gambling  could help them gain financial stability know matter the circumstances attached. Some poor gamblers have experienced financial transformation immediately while others feels the same could happen to them if they invest heavily as others have done and on the process addiction could become there end point

Once a sign of lack of control appears in gambling, the person should never ignore it; if not, heavy addiction will later be the end result.

And most of the rich does have their control with their emotions and being intellectual, and one of the reason is their lifestyle they have a lot of things needed to do, business, growth with theirselves, how to create more cash flow and etc. that tooks a lot of time and effort thats why they took so busy and does not have a time to play gambling. Unlike those people who are the opposite of it is have a lot of time and getting busy to play with the games of the casino so one of the factor too is the availability of the player. Imagine the other side focus how to get more money and just seek gambling for fun and other just seek money in gambling at that first place its already a different mindset.

That's why people who don't have a strong will to stand and do something when a decision about the thing has been reached or taken are always afraid and always be asking , 'What if?' And all of that, such type of person are not psychologically prepared for gambling, as they could easily swing from one place to another each time their game just finishes playing.

Rich men don't go after fast money reason is that they have what they need to live a normal life, it's going to be so hard to see a rich person that is gambling because of money for survival, they are likely gambling to just leave their life but you see a man that has nothing, anytime they are gambling all they could ever think of is gambling to eat and make a living which is why they rarely make money from gambling, that's should never be way of gambling.

Gambling should be about fun, way to make money if you want but never rely on it on survival but sadly this is what many people do for a living and the funny thing about this people is that they are quick to rub it on faces that they don't gamble for money but they are the first that run after games to make money so they can get the things they have always wanted. This is is also why that before you see a rich addicted gambling is very rare.

[Smartvirus]

I don’t know where you get the idea that the rich don’t get addicted but, a good number of them do and it’s often not hidden due to the huge amounts they gamble with when they do.

You don’t find them looking miserable or horrible due to the fact that, they are always fairly stable even in so much bad shit. They tend to manage okay and have streams of incoming flowing in to fuel their gambling habits.

The rich isn’t exempted but, most of them are often about their business or about managing their stream of income than always sitting at the table.

[Asuspawer09]

I think it is way different in my perspective there are more poor people that is getting addicted to gambling since they just want more of the winning, and they want to at least have the chance to win some of the money. So they more likely to have the eagerness to do some gambling stuff rather than the rich people, I think we are just misunderstanding since we are seeing some of the people that get rich and then they suddenly just get broke because of gambling, For me if they are going to do that I don't consider them as rich or successful because they just doesn't have the rich mindset, they just probably someone who luckily get a huge amount of money without having the knowledge, mindset and experience that rich people have, that is why they ended up like that.

A true rich is not going to get addicted with gambling, because they know that gambling is just not the way in becoming wealthy and with the huge experience that they have, they know that it is difficult to earn money, and they are not going to risk it easily on gambling, im not saying that they dont gamble but they are going to do it probably for entertainment only.

In my country, politicians are getting connected to gambling, probably because it is corrupt money, it is just way easier to risk money if it is not something that is hard-earned.

Since there is time for everything we are doing, people should know when they will be serious about gambling and how to make money from their bets. Planning before execution is the only safe way we can get the result we expected to see when gambling. Most of the rich people already have a backup so they are not too worried about it anything goes wrong when they are gambling.
