Actually it depends on how are you guys define rich. For me rich is that you are having good amount of money each month like be $25,000-$50,000 or even more. May be I would spend $1,000 or more each month for gambling a while. Should diversify in other investment too
Fair enough imo, there is no problem with gambling if we just spend around 4% of our monthly income, where we can afford that amount of money. But are you sure you could be satisfied with only 4% of your money? Grin

I would open a casino. That's my final answer.

Damn, i'm not thought that. I agree with you, i think the best way is build a casino and let people gamble on your casino and you can enjoy your earning from your casino, even if you want gamble, you can just go to your casino.

Absolutely not. Gambling is -EV so the only reason why you would gamble is for the entertainment value, and there are much better forms of entertainment that aren't as boring as gambling is.

Of course not, why would i still take a risk in gambling just for me to earn if I am rich. Id rather choose to have some fun in hotel, beach, buying stuff etc.

Rich people dont feel the loss.

So the answer is yes. They feel the pain but then when they wake up, the difference is they wake up in their $12 million dollar house and see their account still good lol.

While my guitar gently weeps!!!
Ofcourse I'm still want to  gamble since I have much money to spare it out.
Who knows if I'm keep bet, I can win more and more. Eventhough if I'm loss , I'm still not feel the major loss

It would be like wasting your fortune when you would still be gambling and expecting a big loss later...But atleast you won't be feeling upset anymore when you are rich..

For me....I will never quit playing the odds.  If I became wealthier I would just increase the percentage of my bankroll that is dedicated to the game.  However, the answer to this question is subjective by definition and it will depend on the specific intentions of the one gambling.  If one were gambling for fun and he suddenly became rich, they'd probably gamble more because they could afford more.  If they were gambling out of necessity than they'd probably quit.  And if they were gambling out of compulsion then they'd probably wind up poor.

A lot of people here gamble to become rich, but some do it for fun.

The question is, if you wake up tomorrow with 50 million dollars, would you still gamble for fun, or would you forget about gambling and do other stuff?
I would like keep half of it aside and gamble with the rest. Its fun to gamble and more fun when you are rich lol. I mean if you good at it you can even win more since the money gambled will be more.
Many people will of course gamble. And the gamblers are often rich, because they have the money to waste it.
Poor people cant even gamble because they need their money for their daily life stuff. So there are only rich people.
You are true, poor people cannot afford to play gambling with their money they even hardly afford their lives , only rich people play gambling and can afford to pay for their losses at there.
If he is addicted they no matter he is poor or he is rich , he will gamble and will expose his money to lose in playing there. As the addict person do not have any mind just want to do for what he is addicted.
But there is a matter, if he gets that money through gambling then he will be encouraged more to earn through there and will play again and again no matter after that how much time he loses.

But one matter is that, if he is intelligent and have past experience and are well known that there is a chance to lose also, then he, after his that victory, will leave gambling forever and will start some better business and will make his way to earn from some other source of earning.

gambling for fun, because the value is very small wager. but there are some people whose income is greater than gambilng. they are really pro.
but there are times when it's all over, if I win gambilng with large nominal amount, I will stop and start a real business.  Roll Eyes

Can you define that someone income are greater than gambling? Actually in gambling if you do a high bet you will earn more too but people dont really take the risk to do that because mostly you will lose everything. If you have a really high income dont need to compare with gambling because with gambling you can earn more than your income and faster

I don't think i would gamble if i were rich because there are many investment that can bring profit with less risk.
Also, if i want to have fun, there's many choice to have fun besides gambling.
Good for you, stay away from gambling while you can because when you are hooked, there is no turning back. You are right, there a lot of things, hobbies that can be done to enjoy life or be entertained aside from gambling. You don't have to confine your enjoyment to gambling.
It is not that bad to gamble around, but you should make some borders for yourself and you should know when to stop if you are losing to much money.
Gambling is made for fun and not made for to make you poor, I think it is your own fault if you losing to much money with it.

All I know is that I know nothing.
Well,gambling is most dangerous addiction.if some body get rich,he might be not leaving his gambling habit.the difference is in past he gamble for earning money,and today he have the money but still he gamble becoz he is addicted to gambling.

if you are not rich and gamble and if you are rich and still gamble with your money the difference is that in the first situation you lose and get depressed and when you win you are sill sad because you couldn't cover the previous losses.
but when you are rich and gamble losing means nothing and then you can enjoy the game and the winning that much more.

i will keep gambling but only for fun and not use some money , it is bad when people so greed and spend all their money to gamble
I think rich people not like poor people who are too greedy to make money from gambling. I think the rich prefer the entertainment of gambling their purpose its just for fun. perhaps that is why many rich people who watch the sport live, maybe they're doing a bet with friends or family. just for fun
