I doubt it is more about the profit in gambling, some people I know just gamble to spend their spare time but other gamblers usually play to make money. It depends on the person's perspective but the same end is expected for both category people. My opinion is the rich gamblers are less than other types of gamblers.
Gambling will earn you profits and also losses, the targets is make sure the profits exceeds heavily more than the losses recorded. Some gamble to make a living, while others bet for pleasure and hope for some extra cash in their pockets. Gambling is inadmissible and depending on it for survival is not an appealing prospect. We all have different motives for gambling and what we become of those who participate in the gambling system. I have a high paying occupation; engaging in gambling does not imply or send a direct message that I rely on the system to make a living; I gamble in my leisure time and with free money, never using allocated cash. 
Topic: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? - page 52. (Read 6518 times)
So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
This should never be the question. Reach people who gamble doesn't really matter since they have got a lot of money to burn in gambling, so the number of rich people who gambles would never be an issue. The real question is, why would a poor person is trying to burn lose even more money that he's needing supposed to be for necessities?
Another question is, how would these people cope up when they lose? do they steal money? do they sell drugs? do they rob something?
See, this is where gambling-related crime is going to happen. That kind of mindset is pretty alarming because these people are desperately looking for extra income in a wrong place.
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.
So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
Uhm, you technically agreed to this "someone" by asking the percentage instead of asking why people gamble. Besides, it doesn't even matter how much people gamble in each class, it stays as a fact that someone gambles no matter what living class they are in, and that speaks volumes as to why gambling exists. Now I wouldn't deny that there are people that exist who gamble because they want to hit it big in a single moment, but it's a matter of fact that some people do it for fun, regardless if they were rich or not. I myself do it for fun, heck it's mostly a side thing now since I do sports bet, I just do it since it's, well, there (and since I have a background in gambling in casinos after all). So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?

That's sounds like reasoning of someone who thinks gambling is only for making money and not for fun. Of course he thinks that you don't need to gamble if you already has the money because he thinks it isn't fun. And i wouldn't push him on that. You don't have to enjoy gambling, he is probably better off not to. But he also sounds like that he doesn't easily understanding others points of view as he is inserting his own needs thoughts into them.So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
Sure, but that's because there's lower percentage of the rich people in general than middle and lower class. And gamblers come from all classes.

How can we know it? Do we have an accurate source regarding that?
Maybe that is something we don't really need to know or discuss. People have different reasons why they gamble regardless if they are rich or not. We will just give a headache to ourselves if we will think about that since again, we don't have anything like an accurate source to know the exact details about it.
The reality though is, many are really gambling regardless of people's financial status and capability.
I doubt it is more about the profit in gambling, some people I know just gamble to spend their spare time but other gamblers usually play to make money. It depends on the person's perspective but the same end is expected for both category people. My opinion is the rich gamblers are less than other types of gamblers.
Well I don't know how true this fact of yours is but I kinda feel rich people have their fair share of numbers when it comes to gambling and even gambling addiction but its just that their own case is different because they are already made and their addiction doesn't affect anyone but for the case of the poor gambler for every penny they lose its as if they going crazy because of the shortage of funds. 
The rich man does not rely in gambling there are still other sources that become his income, he knows how to earn money healthily without gambling games, but that's most of the rich people prefer on their business/investment to generate not from gambling.
I think that is the point he tried to make that because the rich have a stable and steady financial inflow, they may not be found gambling like the lower class. Believe it that most people who gamble do that for the additional money expected as winning reward. I think there could be some sense in that anyway but I also know that some rich do gamble especially in football betting and when they are drinking, they could lock horn in P2P gambling with friends maybe that could be for fun and superiority to show who follows football more.
I think I have a different view concerning what you said here in respect to how the rich people see gambling, regardless of the number of poor people involved in gambling, I think the essence of gambling be you rich man, middle class or poor man is to add an additional money to what you have so bringing up an idea that some people gamble for fun isn't ok in my opinion because there are so many things which can be seen as fun for something that involves money, time and emotional support like gambling shouldn't be seen as fun because it is far way dangerous to see it as fun. Rich people gamble bigger amount so they can win bigger if the winning come but the poor is always ready to gamble every day because he believes that one day he will win but the rich makes good calculations before gambling so we can't compare them.

There are gamblers who are into pleasure than making money and the reason why rich is lower is simply because the rate of rich people are lower too and most of the population are came from the middle and lower class. Every gambler have their own reason to gamble, personally i don’t gamble to make money because I know that making profit in gambling is not that easy, so better not to take it seriously. People who are penniless use gambling to make money. That once happened to one of my friends. At that time, we were hanging out at a friend's house. While chatting, a friend suddenly said he wanted to make money first. We wondered because, as far as we knew, he had no job at all and where he wanted to find the money. He then said I want to make money from gambling.
And without us knowing, he often gambled, more precisely, playing traditional cards with his friends. And he was lucky to be able to bring home some money and buy food and daily necessities. We advised him that gambling would not guarantee a win and that he should stop. One of our friends even went to find a job for him only to ask him to quit. And fortunately, he realized that what he was doing was wrong, and he decided to stop immediately and leave gambling forever until now.
So perhaps, the percentage of people from the lower class can gamble more often because they really need money to survive rather than looking for other jobs.

That's the sad reality of life. If you go to slum areas, for sure, a lot of them are into gambling.
Though we don't know the statistics on this, yet, I believe, there are so many poor people who are into gambling.
Lottery alone for example, a lot are betting on this hoping that they will hit the jackpot, and most bettors just have enough money for food.
In my case, I only gamble if I have extra, I stop if I know I am going beyond my allotted amount.
The rich and the poor participate in gambling. But there is one distinction between the two: Rich gamblers take it less seriously than the poor, who rely entirely on it to provide for their daily needs.
The rich view gambling as a kind of entertainment and a way to relax, to try luck on. They would just choose 2 or 3 games to wager big sums of money on, and that would be all. While the poor tend to overstress themselves while selecting games to bet on, choosing tenths of games to bet on with little amounts. wishing for good fortune to favor them in all of their bets on games

Hard to tell this one since its hard to get data from the rich gambler since they always choose to play privately. The statement is somehow true especially those who are looking for a profit and expecting more from gambling, but its unfair to those who are just want to spend their free time in gambling and have fun as well. 
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling.
But if you don’t have sufficient money, then gambling shouldn’t be an option because if you gamble with the little you are having and you lose, how are you going to sustain yourself. If you are in need of money and the little you are having you decided to gamble with it, then your chances of losing the bet will be high because their will be pressure on you so you will end up making some silly mistake. If you are not having enough money, then you shouldn’t gamble, gambling shouldn’t be your source of income.He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling.
What I notice is that wealthy people don’t gamble the same way low income earners do gamble, most of the rich people I know do gamble responsibly, they don’t take gambling as a source of income, most of them do gamble just for fun, but the low income earners are the once that take gambling as a thing they will do to earn a living.So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
I can’t really say about other countries, but in my country wealthy people gamble less compare to the way middle or lower classes do gamble. You will hardly see a wealthy person in a gambling shop in my country, but am sure they do gamble online. But you will always see middle class and low income in gambling shops, they are the once that are addicted to gambling.

I don't really know the comparison of rich and poor people gambling but in gambling surely rich people are also involved and even far exceed our expectations of the bets played it's just that in this case maybe the perspective is different.So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
Honestly looking at the paragraph you wrote at the beginning actually such a thing is very unfortunate but conditions like this are like an open secret for some people.
They become very naive when talking about gambling which may be based on frustration and inability to control emotions because of their economic factors that are not very good.
The naive thinking that by gambling you can become suddenly rich should be eliminated because this will actually lead to more misery.

I don't know that numbers, but I personally know rich people who gamblers a lot and losses big money. And with that, it just shows that anyone, rich, middle income or even lower class individuals tends to gamble, simply as that.
Gambling is very addicted, so once you are hook, if you have sufficient money then the more you are going to play for more, have big capital and perhaps look for bigger winnings to. That's what happen to the individual that I know of. He has won a lot of money already but didn't stop, until he lost everything that we won that night.
Even if I had the money in abundance, I would never be one who would love to go through the emotional checks with my hard earned money, just because I want to double it or wanna blow some money just to make myself happy. It makes the money seem valueless and as such it would make me spend to keep up the habit until I win big.
the fact is that there are few rich people and there are many poor people, so people with less money because they are many, will be the largest number of people who play, while rich people are few and because they have a lot of money they also have many other things to do in life, and it is difficult for you to see a rich person staying at home all day playing on the computer or phone, in most cases the rich people like to travel, like to walk in many places and constantly, so even if they reserve time to play, they will play for a short time and for that reason you hardly see cases of rich people addicted to gambling
but if you see cases of rich drug addicts, why? because the rich live with other people in nightclubs and on their night walks and end up getting involved in drugs, but you won't see the rich all day indoors playing, these are rare cases that they would do that, they prefer physical casinos but they don't go every day. Of course, there is a case where the rich man got rich because he played because, so in that case he will be constantly in the physical casino, because that is what makes him money, and it is as if it were his profession.

I don't think that's the whole reason as to why people gamble. I have enough money, and I know that my needs and wants are met and I will still have something to spare or splurge. It's legitimate that some people do it to entertain themselves or just to kill time. If you only view people who gamble as those without money, you're limiting your point of view and not realize that there are some who has more to give and can literally spend money without having to worry about what to eat or where to live until their next pay day.

People who work hard to earn some money don't risk the hard earned money and if they do, it will be very limited. Their money is already intended to their family. However people are always tell themselves to make money work for them, funny its misunderstood that way which the lower class gambles like there is no tomorrow.
You are right; some people who work very hard to make money don't really enjoy wasting the money on anything that doesn't add value to their lives, and for gambling, they feel they can have fun with other stuff but not with gambling that requires them to waste money, and winning is never certain. I can agree that the majority of poor people who gamble are doing so definitely not for fun but because they don't have enough money, so they are just trying their luck with gambling if they can earn a little money from it. That's why you see that people who gamble like there's no tomorrow are usually poor people. The rich man will only see gambling as a means to have fun.
