If you had infinite money, would you still gamble?

[adaseb]

Yes most people would still gamble who gamble for pleasure and not money.

The proof of this is the video game industry. There are tons of gamers that play for fun and since it’s free it’s like gambling with unlimited funds.

The gambling addicts wouldn’t play because they got unlimited money so what’s the point.

[Akbarkoe]

If I could imagine having unlimited money and achieving true financial freedom, I wouldn't gamble, but would build my own casino, because the gambling industry is clearly one of the most profitable industries for its owners. I could gamble to my heart's content in the casino I built, but the question is, is playing in your own casino really gambling, because whether you win or lose, the money will be returned to you?

Ah, enough wishful thinking. In gambling, addiction doesn't care about social status; the more money we have, the more likely we are to gamble at higher stakes. So even if we have unlimited money, if we gamble irresponsibly, it will eventually run out.

There are many gamers who play for free where we see boys playing games on their phones on the side of the road with great attention. There are many games where you have to spend money to play.

They start with fun but get addicted when they see that it is more fun with the money they earn and they start playing more and more.

Gambling addicts try to raise their expectations to a more dangerous level but they do not realize it at first. After losing a huge amount of money, he starts to understand that the amount of money he has lost increases. It is like a mirage if he does not play controlled gambling.

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?

This depends on what you see gambling as; those who are already made sees gambling as a fun and can gamble with what they think is that easier for them to lose, and also they are not interested in chasing any lose neither are they having target of making any special winning from gambling, they only cares about the joy they are benefiting from gambling even they are winning but they are not that mostly moved by those amount because they are already self made. So, for me I wouldn't be that also moved when I have enough funds, I will only care about thrilling moment I derived while gambling.

This is only an ideal case because I doubt if someone on earth can have infinite amount of money but this is my own answer to your question, if peradventure I have an infinite amount of money off course I would stop gambling because what again am I gambling for since I already have money that doesn't have an end. Now that I don't have much money I don't even gamble often, I only gamble when I see games that I can work or play around with sometimes because I don't consider gambling as an option to make me rich but if it happens one day then cool.

From my point of view, if someone had infinite money, they would not gamble because they could do whatever they wanted to do. The reason why people are so interested in gambling is because there is an opportunity to make money if they win. People who need money can use gambling to earn money. Only those people can enjoy gambling. There are not many people who have infinite money, and those who have no matter how much money they have, they will want to gamble to make more money. But it is true not everyone has the same mindset.

I could gamble to my heart's content in the casino I built, but the question is, is playing in your own casino really gambling, because whether you win or lose, the money will be returned to you?

I sometimes think like this myself. If I had a lot of money, I would have created a professional casino site and played there constantly. But I was surprised to know that most of the money in this world is in casinos. I would have earned a lot of money if I had my own casino gaming site. It isn't easy to earn the amount of money that can be earned from casinos or any other medium.

You also mentioned whether you will get your money back if you win or lose by playing games in your own casino. I think there is no point in taking money if you win or lose by playing games in a casino you have created, and you will usually not have fun if you play games like this.

Ah, enough wishful thinking. In gambling, addiction doesn't care about social status; the more money we have, the more likely we are to gamble at higher stakes. So even if we have unlimited money, if we gamble irresponsibly, it will eventually run out.

Indeed, taking risks is closely related to money, but when you think about taking significant risks, there is a possibility of significant losses. In most cases, it is seen that taking risks leads to irresponsibility, and most of the money is lost. There's nothing you can do here because there's no telling when your mind will be diverted from casino sites.

I'm one of the gamers that like a little bit of gambling mechanics. I have played Rust on a custom servers that has fully funcional slots and roulettes, you use in-game currency that you can grind for and they have no real monetary value. It's just something fun to play and it gives you the same kicks because you have to spend hours gathering resources on the game, so winning them on a big jackpot is satisfying even if it's not real money.

Gambling is mainly for fun, not to make money. If I had unlimited money, I would gamble because I enjoy gambling. I have never found the fun in gambling in any other game. It is not right to see gambling as a part of life. No matter how much money we have, it is very important to adopt some strategies while gambling. Gambling should be played in a way that allows us to have self-control over ourselves. It is better to make a habit of stopping after winning repeatedly while gambling and to manage gambling by setting time and money. We should gamble with money that we can afford to lose, so that we do not have to face financial problems. A person who has control over himself can manage gambling properly.

If I had unlimited money, I might get bored with gambling. Why? Because, like playing regular games that don't involve money, it gets boring over time because we're not afraid of losing. Just like with unlimited money, there's no worry about losing money through gambling, so playing doesn't feel exciting because it doesn't involve adrenaline and mental stimulation.

But everyone has the right to do what they want with their money. There are also wealthy people who are addicted to gambling, having fun and not caring how much they lose because they have a lot of money.

So you are saying that you would still gamble even if you got infinite money because you like slot mechanics or you would use this Rust thing even in that case so you will not spend real money despite having infinite money as this second option is very good and maybe I need to start check on this. Yesterday as always or not always but most of the times I spent some 20-25 dollars a week to enjoy gambling and I got again to 200 dollars in Sweet Bonanza 1000 yet greed got the best out of me and ended up losing everything. I need to check on what you say as no matter what happens there I am not losing real money and this is what I need as the end result.

If the focus is only on wins and losses, then yes, gambling will quickly bore someone who has an unlimited amount of funds. Although at the same time, such people can constantly participate in leaderboards, ie, trying to get to the top while competing with other users. In this case, gambling won't get boring so quickly.

If you set yourself the task of achieving some other goals besides winning, then this can definitely be an additional incentive for the game, because you are right, when you have endless money, then winning money loses its meaning. I think that when you have endless money, it will change your thinking and lifestyle, and now it is difficult to imagine how we would behave in that situation and what we would do. Perhaps there would be no time left for gambling, because other hobbies would appear.

[vanesha]

If I had unlimited money then I would not be interested in gambling, it would waste my time, because if money is unlimited using time as best as possible is a smart choice, besides that, if you have unlimited money gambling will not have any art whether you win or lose, it will be very boring

Why I was busy reading people's comment I can't help but believe that people are all gambling to make money and money only, it seems to me that the word fun is all a big lie because no one is really saying that they can keep gambling for fun even when they have everything in this world already, this is not shocking but sad to me, it's clear as crystal that people are just making up those words.

Well, based on what you wrote mate, money can never be enough for the rich, they always wanted more so yes it makes sense that you could just build your own casino business and start making more money.

There is no such thing as putting a stop to money making even after you have make a lot of life changing money, it becomes a virus to the rich, that's why some people believe that money doesn't bring happiness because your desire for more money will keep growing as you keep making money.

People who play for fun might get addicted as well, but only thing they lose is their time.

And in case of op might want to call it just "playing" rather then gambling, because gambling refers to something where you take a risky action hoping of choosing the right thing. And if you basically can't lose because your money is infinite (which is ridiculous premise to start with), what's the risk (act of gambling) in it?

Just in case if someone's argument would be that they would still lose the bet amount; that's not how infinity works.

I think the gaming industry is built in such a way that players don’t get bored. They are offered some variety, even if the core game mechanics stay the same. But we wouldn’t see a bunch of essentially identical games, with the only difference being the design, if software developers didn’t assume that players could get tired of the same thing.

The fact is that money is the inspiration to more money most of the time as opposed to satisfaction. Constructing a casino would definitely be a wise business decision in case one wanted to make money out of gambling instead of losing his own life out of it since it is always safer to own the house than to play against it. However, I believe that, money cannot be a lasting satisfaction even with overwhelming amounts when one has enormous money to pursue, because there is ever an end line. The reason why a lot of the rich continue to work and earn more money even when there is no necessity to do it is because it gets a habit or an obsession of itself, and this is why wealth does not always bring happiness.

Unfortunately that is not what rich men do when they already are rich. While some are trying to build their name to have a legacy to leave on this world, some of them also just want to live forever so they are looking for ways to find that fountain of youth. Hire a doctor to keep their physique neat and young.

Gradually, they will move away form the gambling because they don't want the world to remember them being a gambler til the day they die.

Some never yet define the reason to why they are gambling and until this is done accordingly, they may not be able to know why they are gambling and what is expected of them and ahead of them, even in life, everything is not about money, we can have it, but not to totally depend on it, because money will soon go and vanish and other valuable things we cherish and achieved will remained, that is why to gamble, its not a decision of making money form it, but to have fun and learn one or more other things as we gamble.

However, money is still important because it covers the lowest levels of Maslow's Pyramid, namely: food, having a roof over your head, and security.
If any person does not have these needs closed, then he will not care about communication or any moral or artistic values?. Nature cannot be deceived, after all, we are all originally animals.
Therefore, it is always very important to remember the value of money.
