Between the Rich and Poor which one is likely to gamble for funs.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I'm really in the state of quagmire about this topic i created and which i give it a second thought that i have better place to share it and gather allot of ideas from different individuals here because there was a serious argument between two friends that was deliberating that the rich people fall in the categories of gamblers that gamble for fun and the other friends was seriously defending it with his points that gambling for fun is a personal decision, that gambling for fun doesn't determine the kind of status you are, and  i try to support the other friend that says gambling for fun is a personal decision but the other friend is still insisting that is a lie that gambling for fun is basically for the rich people.

Please i need your ideas and contributions on this argument between the two friends.

Right. The rich play because they are bored. From the fact that they can afford to spend large amounts and not lose sleep over it. They have fun tickling their emotions, getting adrenaline from taking risks, and maybe a little dopamine. The poor play in order to improve their standard of living. Very poor people gamble in the hope of getting rich quickly, spending their last pennies at the same time, and thereby becoming even poorer. They fall into the trap of gambling addiction because they lose too much and hope to regain what they have lost, which is very important and necessary for them.

When people tell me that poor people play for entertainment, I think they are very stupid and uneducated people who have not seen anything good in life but already have a disease that will usually lead them to some kind of bad event.


By the way, OP, do you know what a period is? What about a comma?

I disagree. Actually, it may be more stressful for a rich guy whenever he loses his bet. I doubt they bet smaller amounts, and they have the capacity to keep on increasing their bets, so it's going to be stressful for them whenever they lose.
But just like what your other friend said, this can be situational. Some rich guys may be at a casino just looking for some entertainment and won't really waste too much money. They can be there to have fun, drink, smoke, or may flirt with ladies. It depends. If the goal is profit, it can be more damaging to a rich person.

While individual differences, but to me I base on the fact that rich people don't just gamble out of fun but to make additional gain from gambling I have seen in many occasions where rich men uses big amount of money to gamble just to add more money to his account, I observed closely it's just 2 odd, so rich men are likely the people that gamble the most , at first they are opportune about it because they have the money to play game at anytime than poor men who occasionally play bet once in a while, poor people are not even winning more than rich men , rich people win game on a daily basis they use millions to play 2 odds and win more additional gain in it.

If you ask gamblers here, most of them tell that they gamble for fun. If you ask them if they are rich, some will stay silent, some will say they are not But that does not mean that rich gamble to earn if the rest do it for fun. We have talked about it million times, both rich and poor have their own motives to gamble.

You cant divide activity and emotions between categories of people. It is fact that rich people have different taste and opportunities in having fun. But it was mentioned million times, we are all individuals and different. You cant make a truthful which category of people gamble for fun, as there are unequal amount of people in categories.

[Furball808]

Gambling is done by both no matter the economic standing of someone. I really see that it comes down to interest and how frugal someone is. I believe someone who is particular about their money may not even dip their toes into gambling whether they are rich or not. Whether they can actually afford to or not. And of course, not everyone enjoys gambling no matter how enjoyable it may be for others. It comes down to character for me not economic status.

Life is all about affordability, and gambling is all about the luck against the house edge, now let break that down into simple terms, when a poor man gamble, he is gambling with the hope that he win something, but when he loses his inability to afford another bet hurts a lot, but for a rich guy, he can take another bet eventually become lucky and he recovers all whereas the poor guy already ended his session in lose because he can't afford to take a recovery bet.

Of course it's the rich and those in the middle class that would probably need to make it to the top but probably caught in between to just play it for fun. Well, it's for fun if you're into that sports and you have something you probably doesn't care if it lost. Well, would it matter if the house is the one that profits the most because they exploit that for fun and for the goal to have a better life?

[TheUltraElite]

The rich are more likely to be gambling for fun because they have money to spend and have a chance at making money while not bothering about the money they lost. The poor on the other hand if gambling are probably looking to double their wager and not just fun.

However the person who is actually having all the fun is the casino owner because whoever comes to them, rich or poor will end up having to donate a good amount of money to the casino as long as they are playing without stop.

[Agbe]

This has been discussed sometimes ago although it was "who gamble more" was the former topic in discussion. But when you talked about "who gamble for fun", the answer which was given in the other topic would still repeat itself. Rich people would like to visit creational Centers to relax and play games, poor man has no time and funds to have such leisure time so rich people are for fun and poor people are for making profit. But as it was said the fun only comes when you win but if you are at the losing side, nobody is happy and it is the happiness that brought the fun.

[7juju]

I will agree with the person that said gambling for fun is an individual decision and not necessarily as a result of financial status. Everyone have their own desires and self aspirations. I have seen rich gamblers gambling for the money, same way I have seen gamblers that are not rich also gambling for fun. But the probability of seeing rich people gambling for fun is higher than the possibility of seeing poor people gambling for fun.

It's obviously the rich, even though they gamble to make profit they don't gamble to get rich because they already are, which is why they are more likely to gamble for fun. Poor people on the other hand find it difficult to gamble for fun because they focus more on getting rich through gambling and this always leads to Gambling addiction for most of them.

Depending on what type of rich. Surely, they are losing big but they are generating profit regularly which is much higher than the money they are losing in the casino.

For example is Dana White which is gambling for fun in the casino. He is both winning and losing big on his gambling session but he doesn’t pay much attention on it since he has income from UFC. Same with Drake and other rich personalities that involved on gambling.

However, there’s also some rich that gamble what they can’t afford to lose which fit perfectly on your description.

[Asiska02]

Gambling for fun is suppose to be something of personal decision and not what has to be tied to the status of the person in question. But then, we have grown to see people having the mentality that you’ll need money to look for more money, going by so means both the poor and the rich can come into gambling not for the fun of it but for the money they want to enrich themselves with more through these platforms.

Again, in a layman’s terminology, the poor will tend to focus more on having a means of income through gambling rather than wanting to derive pleasure from it, but a rich man could risk little and still be okay with the outcome and tend to see it only as a means of fun. I think your two friends have a point, just depends on the person’s mindset that is gambling.

I agree with your other friend that gambling for fun is a personal decision; money or status has nothing to do with it. Casinos will accept you, whoever you are, and encourage you to play for fun, regardless of your status in life.
Our status in life has nothing to do with our gambling habits and mindset; it's our behavior and character that shape them. Casinos welcome people from all walks of life.

Bring rich or poor doesn't create a divide on how the fun in gambling is perceived, because both must spend their funds according to their limits, gamble according to their emotional capabilities and discipline and can do so with or without a time constraint regardless.
The only thing I see is that while someone who is rich may not be too frustrated from losing much because they have funds and the means, the poor man may be doing so to earn a passive income just to be lucky to survive another day. Otherwise, the risk involved in gambling is the same, irrespective of being rich or poor.

[shawonngp]

I don't agree that gambling is entertainment only for rich people. I think that those who are rich want to earn more money from gambling, I have seen some people who make big stake in gambling because they want to be much richer, the difference between poor gambler and rich gambler is that rich gambler can afford even if they lose big, they don't have to face any financial crisis, but it is not possible for poor gambler. Gambling can be considered an entertainment by anyone; it is not a matter of whether one is rich or poor, because a poor gambler can also consider it fun if he doesn't care about earning from gambling. It’s just a personal decision.

In this case, I support your friend's opinion more who said "rich people fall into the category of gamblers who gamble for fun", the reason being that for them gambling is often considered a game or hobby. Rich people gamble money that does not affect their basic needs, for example if they lose a certain amount, it is still tolerable because it is considered as entertainment or refreshing expenses.   

while poor people tend to gamble because of the hope of getting money instantly or considering gambling as a shortcut out of poverty. The lure of big wins is often seen as a shortcut to changing one's fate in the hope of getting rich quick if one hits the jackpot, but the reality is not that simple. So it is not surprising that poor people often become gambling addicts and end up suffering huge losses due to their wrong mindset about gambling, while rich people only gamble for the thrill and pleasure, the money spent does not affect other needs.

you all are wrong, there is nothing personal about gambling for fun, everyone gambling is doing it for the money and i wonder why people keep deceiving themselves that they are gambling for fun when we all knows that the main thing is the money. what is fun in gambling if money is not coming at the end of the day? if the rich and poor gamble with money and get nothing in return for long, how would they feel? how can someone be making hard earn money from one business and be losing it on gambling and be claiming to be fun? well i will be glad if we forget about this gambling for fun of a thing because it doesn't exist.

The idea of gambling for fun is a personal reason, it is not all about the finances. A rich man can still gamble for profit while the poor man will gamble for fun, and vice versa.

The financial level of a gambler does not define his reasons to gamble. Most rich people are not satisfied with the money they have; they gamble for profit, but more than 70% of the poor masses gamble for profit. You will hardly find a poor man who gambles for fun.

[robelneo]

i try to support the other friend that says gambling for fun is a personal decision but the other friend is still insisting that is a lie that gambling for fun is basically for the rich people.

Your friend who says gambling for fun is for rich people might have an experience, or he based it on his observation, or from a stat that he read, but for me, anyone can have fun its not specific to the status of the person. I have friends who are rich and poor, and they have the same motivation to have fun.
Maybe some stats say the rich play to have fun more than the poor, but the poor can also do that, specific mindset is not specific to one's status.
