Probably I would open my own casino as well but I would still gamble for the fun of it. I wouldn't blow big amounts (compared to what i would have) but I would keep on playing for sure. Smiley
this is the difference of someone who has become rich and one people poor. rich people will use their wealth to create a gambling website or gambling place. of course the possibility of profit will be greater in the appeal you play as a player. because basically the house will always win over a player Cheesy

I probably would. It's a good entertainment if you know your limits when to stop.
Yes entertainment is the biggest need for all rich people. Once you find the gambling fun, you will never quit it.

Everyone needs entertainment once in a while not only the rich. But the ones who got rich thru hard work and dedication is wise enough not to get into gambling. They will not waste their hard earned money thru gambling. But those who won lottery or got rich instantly, I think is more prone to gamble. They will think that they can extend their luck thru gambling.
But when you are struggling for your living, how you will go for entertainment. So, gambling is mainly a part of lifestyle only for rich people. That is the reason they are keep on going.
That is not actually true where I came from. I see most of the gamblers in our community are poor. They just keep on gambling, playing cards all day even if they have no food on their plate. It is sad but it's true. It should only be done by those who can afford, but the poor play it for instant money. And also, the rich people in our community just keeps on working to be even richer. They do not care about gambling. Ironic, isn't?

Well I think in that way you could have much money than the gambling site you are playing, and because of that kind of strategy you will hit two jackpot or should we call it two birds in one stone you are earning from your casino at the same time you have a chance on winning in the gambling site that you prefer to play.

If I was very rich like over 100 million id try to become a high stakes poker player. Not as a business, more like a hobby.id get to travel the world over playing cards and meeting cool people. for me that's paradise.

That would be a paradise for about a few months and when the money run outs, you will be nothing again.  If you are high roller, you will be betting more than you can handle and you will lose more. That is hard to keep up even if you have 100 million dollars especially if you encounter a losing streak. It is better to focus your energy and money in a more productive things.

Gamble is attitude that can be control by yourself or not.
For me, if i'm rich already , I will keep gamble for fun and for profit since gambling already my nature.
There are some advantage for being rich for example , I have big bankroll to gain more profit by martiangle

Yes why not if i were will do gambling for sure Wink gambling will be more interesting when i have very big bankroll and will stake a lot of money without any fear.

I think that would be just stupid, I think I would not do this again, I hate losing money and with big numbers you will lose constantly a lot of money.
I maybe would go sometime to a real casino with some real cash to also show some money off, I always wanted to do that once.

I think that is also pretty cool if you have a stash of money and you just walk into the casino with 10k or something or maybe even more to show off.
Other than that I also would not gamble anymore because I than think its wasted money and time.

I wouldn't gamble, what is the point. I am gambling because I want to be rich not to have fun. The ones that say it is fun have too much money that they don't know what to do with it  Tongue
They gamble for entertainment? Hahah, nice one Cheesy

If I would be rich I would have gamble for fun, and when you have money in your pocket you try to find new ways to spend and gambling can be one of it.
I know it was not a problem for you, but make sure you give money specifically and divide it into another purse,
although you're rich and have a lot of money, there is no guarantee that you're not going to take all your money to gamble
so better to remain cautious with gambling
yeah so much people go to casino saying the same think as you and then they came back with 0 or maybe they will borrow some money too.
if you are rich the only think you will do is beting with higer amount :p

If I were rich I would most definitely still gamble for sure. The only difference between gambling when you are poor/not rich and gambling if you are rich is that when you gamble when you are rich, you also have Baller status. And everyone knows that Baller status gambling is so much more fun than peasant/commoner status gambling.

I don't bite.

agreed. if people were rich , and if they had lots of money to spend. they will definitly continue gambling just for fun and spend their money..
but I'll don't do gamble if I were rich.. because I don't want to loose my hard work's reward in gambling.
Well, most of the time, rich people has no idea what to do with their truckload of money. Some of them just spend it on gambling. Gamble and gamble, but they still had a truckload of money despite losing a lot in a day.

I would not gamble anymore because I think the fun of it is there no more, when I won there is just a feeling a good feeling that says you won a nice amount today.
I think if you are rich the feeling of gambling and winning money because of it is gone because of it.

Mostly it will depend on how people became rich, if people become rich because they did a hard work (from zero to hero) so I believe they will not gamble their earning because they know how hard to get money.

Exactly. I think they will be wise enough not to risk their hard earned money to gambling. They will know the value of that money and they don't want to lose it on a single bet. Even if it just for entertainment, it would not be reason enough to gamble something you earned thru sweat and blood.

Different people have different habbits, some of them would not gamble and some of them who have become rich with gambling will continue to gamble so that they can be more richer in future.
Gambling for becoming more richer will be stupid, it could lead to a total loss. gambling for fun would be ok i guess but making more money isn't a good idea.

If you weren't rich, would you still gamble?

yes everyone who isn't rich will try their luck. Roll Eyes
