If you had infinite money, would you still gamble?

Gambling includes plethora of games, various sports to bet on but doesn't it all boil down to money in the end? More the money involved, more the thrill.

Suppose, as title says — you had infinite amount of money, would you still gamble?

Personally, I can't see myself giving two fucks when I don't care for money in first place. Would you?

If I had an infinite amount of money, I would most likely stop getting strong emotions from gambling. I wouldn't care about the outcome, whether it was a win or a loss. That is, gambling would cease to be interesting. Such a rare event as winning would lose its significance.
Well, then why would you keep playing if it wouldn't bring any emotions? After all, gambling is not a form of earning money; it is more of an emotional experience, but it is strongly associated with an economic incentive in the form of winning or losing ("reward" or "punishment").

Depends on my reason for gambling right now, if I was already a gambler before the the infinite money came, it depends on my reason for gambling, if I was gambling as a means of making money, I would quit gambling since I already made the money I wanted, but if my reason for gambling was for fun, definitely, I will continue to gamble and even now that I have infinite money, gambling would be much more exciting because I can always play to my satisfaction without worrying about running down on bankroll.

But If I wasnt a gambler before the infinite money came, I don't see any reason why I would go into gambling after that since I must have something else I derive fun and excitement from already.

If I were to be super rich I could still continue gambling, by then it'll be entirely for fun because I don't need the win, money will no longer be a priority.  If you're very rich to the extent that money is nothing and you still gamble that will be the true definition of gambling for the thrill of it, to simply experience entertainment. By then the taking risks will will not be the reason why you're gambling because you can afford to loose and not feel any regrets. Being that I'm not super rich I wonder whether most people in that category gamble for money because in movies I see them gamble. Some will still gamble for money, the love of it is insatiable.

If I had a lot of money, I would probably find a smarter use for it. Firstly, it would be important to me to help those who need it: children, the elderly, and people with cancer. Charity generates the same pleasure from the process; those who have never tried it should give it a try. And yes, maybe I would play for a while, but again, I would send all the winnings to those who need them more.

For a person who has unlimited money and multiple sources of income, gambling is exciting, but it is unlikely to be very high. There are very few people who enjoy gambling without giving priority to money. In most cases, money and excitement are given priority among gamblers. I can definitely say that those who try to earn money and enjoy gambling are the ones who get the most pleasure from gambling. There are very few gamblers who, despite having unlimited money, are able to accept gambling as a very high excitement. A person can never be satisfied with acquiring wealth, which is why the more wealth he has, the more he will try. In that perspective if they play gamble they will get full excitement. I know I don't have infinite money and I never will, so I don't even think about it.

I can say it will full chest that casino will experience low patronage. Many people will not acknowledge the fact that gambling is money purpose but it's what it's, the money is why many people are here even if they don't rely on it, they still wish they have it. If I have huge amount of money, I will gamble but I don't think I will gamble much, 1 games bet on my slip and I'm cool with it. If I have 1.5 multiplier, I will happily paste it on my money and let it roll.

But is there really infinite money? Even a crime money isn't infinite not to talk about the struggle to become a wealthy person. One thing I have always know about money is that people are not satisfied with wealth. If you have infinite money, I don't think you will have casino gambling on your agenda any longer, it's how you are going have your own way of gambling people like have your own casino, it's going to be a bet between your casino company and the people that want to gamble.

Even if I turn a billionaire today, I don't see myself resisting the urge to bet PSG to win Chelsea in the FCWC final, a bet I know have 90% chance of success and to enable me laugh at my friends that are supporters of Chelsea. I may not be betting just because of the money but for the fun of it. There may be people at variance with what I have said and that is completely fine since we have different purpose for doing what we do. I love betting on football matches against my close friends so we can have intense conversation about the match.

Gambling is being engaged in for two reasons: 1. for the money and 2. for fun.

It doesn't matter how much you have, if you have the addiction or mind to gamble for money, you won't be able to control it, you will only increase your stake and probably might be wasting money in the process. But if you are such that gamble for fun, you will surely have no business gambling for money, especially when you have enough already. It will all be fun, and you might even maintain the wagering amount forever.

That's a great thought and extremely humble way of thinking. Nothing makes us feel better than helping someone in need. Having infinite money means we can do all that we wanted and then, if we really wanted, we could gamble as well without having to think about the losses and wins.

I might be still gambling though if I was crazy rich because gambling isn't just a means to win money for me, it's a good way of spending my spare time. Watching any sport becomes 10x more interesting when you have an active wager on the game. Even if you lose, you still enjoyed the game more than you would if you didn't have any bets on it.

So my answer would be yes, I'd be still gambling. Perhaps the intensity wouldn't be the same and I would have shorter and more explosive sessions as compared to now.

Since I am not gambling to double my funds, even if I have such money, I will continue gambling because I am using it to entertain myself. Gambling is like a hobby to some people and they don't care if they are rich or not. As long as you are gambling responsible, it's fine.

I think you missed the point. If you have infinite money, you wouldn't be feeling anything, so no entertainment.

I think you missed the point too, because you cannot stay idle and not entertain yourself when you have the money to do so. Are you trying to say that wealthy people don't go to the beach, travel on vacation and have fun. It's when I am very rich that I will enjoy myself the more because whatever amount of money that I spend wouldn't affect my wealth. As long as you are alive, having fun is very important for a healthy lifestyle.

Are you saying that even with infinite money, you'll be able to entertain yourself with gambling?

If I have that money, I will not use only for gambling. I don't want waste that money instead will use it for other things such as create a new business. I will still use limitation to playing gambling because I know that is the way I can enjoy my time in gambling and avoid the gambling addiction. I don't want to have much problem from gambling besides of losing the money. Gambling for me is just a place for me time and not for making money although I know some people are making money from gambling.

Yes I can still gamble if I have all the money in the world, the difference is I am doing it not to double my money but to have some fun, there are people who are gambling simply because they enjoy it, the game is of different levels and types and everyone has a favourite.

The truth is bitter and that's the reason I believe that ninety percent of gamblers are gambling to make money, the few ones are doing it to make money and also have fun, no one can say no to money after they won all because they want only fun.

Some rich people have gambling as an hobby at a very young age and when they grow older they still prefer to do this as their own way of having fun, i have seen thing growing up, the only difference is some rich men prefers the old offline games compare to today's online gambling.

If I had infinite money of course I would not gamble Main reason would be because I would have no time for gambling, as all entertainment option, whole world (even space) to travel will be open for me. Btw most of us already had an experience what is gambling with infinite money - its a gambling with play money, which isnt as fun as gambling with real money. Everyone tried to gamble with play money and quickly stop it, because its boring.

[junder]

Even if I had unlimited money, I'd likely still gamble, but the goal would be simply to have fun, fill my free time, and relieve boredom. Even in the current situation, gambling is primarily for entertainment, with the occasional small hope of winning. But when I have unlimited money, I won't just gamble; I'll definitely do other things for fun too.

I can't imagine a successful life with unlimited money. I'd likely do anything for the entertainment I desire.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Most of the time, having infinite money comes with too much of responsibility to sustain the business, those sources of income and your wealth. You as the wealthy person is literally have a lot of day to day task just to keep the source running effectively and you probably might not have time to even look at things that doesn't necessarily matter much to you such as gambling. Let's take for example, Elon M., the man is so engaged that I don't think he will even have time to gamble. For some people who only derive joy in gambling, they can still continue gambling but many will not. If I have infinity money, the only way I can gamble is if I have enough time to do so.

With infinite amount of money, gambling from fun and earning money turns into something different. If I had endless money and gambling would be my passion, hobby or addiction, I would gamble, but my goal would be testing strategies, trying to create formulas which will help others to win. In other words I would be that mad scientist who try to prove that random has order.

Since there is no challenge to win money, beating the house now becomes a good challenge. Since I have infinite money, the mission is to prove that the house is beatable, and since I have an endless source of money, I can prove it now.
People are arguing that you need a lot of money when using a martingale, but with an infinite source of money, I can now use a martingale with success.

This reminds me of what my family brother normally tell me, he said that even if it became a president today, that he would never in any way stop playing gambling. Due to the fun and entertainment he normally have with friends. So that is the real truth about it because as a gambler that always gamble fun and entertainment, there is no amount of money that you have can make you stop gambling just like, unless you're not the enjoyment type if not gambling is more fun when the money is there. Because you wouldn't care whether you lose or not, your own is just to have fun with friends and family not else.

But it is impossible that someone cannot have endless money. If someone has endless money, then he must spend time to earn this endless money, then where will he have time to participate in gambling? However, if someone has endless money, they will definitely spend it on entertainment or ways to pass the time rather than gambling. But if I had endless money, I would participate in gambling and always try to find ways to have fun.

As long as I have a source of income, I will continue to gamble. Regardless of what others may say, to me, gambling is like a video game, something that consistently entertains me during my free time. While I don’t always win, winning and losing are simply natural parts of any game. That’s why I keep gambling, even if I have unlimited money, it doesn’t mean I would stop. Unless I find another form of entertainment that brings me greater comfort and satisfaction, only then would I consider quitting. So, for me, it’s not about the money, it’s about the enjoyment.
