You are right that one should determine their betting limit and evaluate the odds and everything, but those high rollers don't really care much about that. A couple of days ago, I saw a high roller in Stake playing a game with a base bet of over $14,000. It might not be a very big amount for some but for the general public, it's a lot of money.
So it basically depends on one's mindset and bankrolls too if what they consider to be an amount they can afford to lose. Maybe a base bet of $100 isn't a lot for me, but somewhere out there, it can be an amount one can use for a whole month.
It is true that each person has their own standards about how much money is too much to gamble away, but we must admit too that there are some people out there with standards that are incredibly high, since 14k is an amount that is very high all around the world and many people on the first world will flinch if they were to see someone gambling so much money away right in front of them, as they know very well how much time it would take them to make that kind money. So it basically depends on one's mindset and bankrolls too if what they consider to be an amount they can afford to lose.
