*In trying to create a comparison between how the rich gamble versus how the poor gamble, has it ever crossed your minds that perhaps gambling addiction is more present and predominant for the poorer class of people in the society as opposed to the rich gamblers in the society?
This is well known phenomenon actually. It is because many poor people think of getting rich from gambling and that idea keeps them coming back to the casino no matter how much they lose in the long run. They always think they’ll win eventually and make a home run but that day never comes.
The rich on the other hand are already rich and they don’t have such silly dreams. That’s why they have more self control over and don’t take too much risk. They play only to pass the time and have fun. That is more important to them than the game itself.
