In most under-developed countries, where there are few employment opportunities, people tend to try gambling to change their faith. That's one reason why gambling is increasing all over the world.
I don't think gambling is popular in under developed county. When people have money they can try options but when they don't have much to live then their options are limited. I guess westerners are the targeted customers for gambling industry.
Yeah, they don't want to use the money for just gamble because they must buy their needs. Although the gambling itself is not popular in the under-develop country, I think some people still playing gambling because they believe that they can earn money with fast. People will play in the hidden place, and they will play the traditional gambling only because this is what they did.
Generally, rich people are the ones that gambles a lot. Some poor people gamble too but with limited volume and are mostly betting with their friends and locals. Some countries like Singapore imposed high entrance fees on their local citizens when entering casinos.
No, I don't think so because rich people want to increase their wealth by investing in many places. But some of them like to gambles and spend their money for fun only. So both rich people and poor people like to gamble and risk their money to get more money. Whoa, if in Singapore imposed high entrance fees, then the poor people can only gamble in the dark area which is free without paying any fee.
I cannot understand the notion that only rich people can gamble. Yes they are capable because of their money but right now I see more middle class person as well digging into gambling maybe to have some fun with friends or just as pastime or just wanted to win big. I think Singapore has a very strict law in terms of gambling just like in my country, but boy there are a lot of illegal gambling dens around here as well.
I think its wrong to say there is only one type of person who is
gambling. Gambling is advertised everywhere and advertised
heavily in soccer in the U.K for instance.
People in the middle class gamble for sure as well as people
from poorer classes. It offers a chance for a potentially small
stake to make big gains.
The thing is, in the UK betting on anything is possible because it is cultural. It is the same in Las Vegas (obviously), for some reason betting is much more popular in Greece than in Italy (not sure why), there are differences in Europe that I fail to explain.
In other cultures it is a sin to gamble (Israel I think, please correct me if I am wrong). So if I take the example of the UK, I think people who bet there have a lot of money, they do it for fun, just casual betting. In Asian countries however, people prefer to go to Casinos, but it is often illegal, most do it underground.
