Il answer this when I get rich. That said gambling is very dangerous, especially for someone with very deep pockets.

If I was RICH, like PowerBall rich 300 million $. I'd gamble.
But buy gambling I mean investing.
Investing is still gambling I'd think, since no guarantee on making any profit.
Invest in large companies like Facebook, Google, etc.
Ones that I know Arnt going anywhere anytime soon.
Just my 2 cents..

Cheers

I am not a gambler I have only gambled one time in my hole life. But I think if I was rich I would gamble for fun.
But not everyday, maybe just once per month.

If I were rich of course I would gamble much more than now.  Smiley Because I'm always trying to follow the rule to not gamble with more than I can afford to lose. Hence if I were rich I would have the ability to afford more to lose and would gamble more.

I never gamble to become rich and I strongly advise to every gambler never do so.

yes i would, maybe because i will do for fun or when i'm bored. But i'm gonna control myself so i won't get broke. Or i will start a gambling site. Many rich people would gamble just for fun or leisure time, And sometimes with their friends.

It will be the best to just open up your gambling site if you can't control your self to gamble, that way, even if you play, you are just recycling your money and never really gone when you are playing..

If I woke up with 50 million dollars tomorrow, I would probably set up a bank account and keep most of the money in there for dire purposes. Then I would take one million to buy everything I would ever want. I'll then take an extra million and convert it to BTC. Then make huge bets on Primedice, luckybit, basically multiple gambling websites and get a top leaderboard. I'll probably still gamble if I had the money, but I would be too cautious of my bets and just gamble for fun.

Overall the most people would still gamble and this is of course logical because the fact is that you can than finally enjoy gambling and not play for the profit you want to make with it.
Although I must say I never gambled for the profit you can make with it, I always gambled for  the enjoying part from gambling.

Your saying is you never aim for profit? You only played for some fun? Is there anyway to satisfy yourselves if you are not winning? I dont really think most people will enjoy if they keep on losing ithout gettng profit
I admit that there are some people like that, gambling their money no matter if they lose or win. But afaik its only applied by rich people, so I guess he is one of them Cheesy

But if you keep thinking about the result whether you win or lose you will just lose everything no matter rich or poor people. The different is rich people have more cash so they can sustain more and they will still have a chance to make it back again

There's a lot of stories out there about lottery winners that became poor again and starts falling in line to bet and gamble. Probably the problem with those who got rich with gambling is they don't know how to manage their winnings. If it happen's to me I will not gamble anymore.

There are many reason for the rich people still keep on gambling even they are already rich. One of the reason I have observed with them would be, gambling is just a part of their daily life style. They simply love the gambling gun.

I think statistically most of the largest percentage of gamblers are actually rich people and they do it purely for entertainment and not for money gain.
But I believe when you are rich enough, you can find gambling in comfortable zone with the very big bankroll. Because many gambling requires some very big multiples of your base bet amount. It is only possible for rich gamblers. This may be one of the reason they are still continuing their gambling.
Yes, you are right. The very big bankroll is only possible with the rich gamblers. If I am rich enough then I can go for Martingale with my dice autoplay. But I am still dreaming.

i dont think i would gamble my money then as there would be no need to do that for sure because i would already have enough money for a living

to be honest im not gambling even though i dont have a lot of money because i know that gambling leads only to big losses and nothing else

gamble is for fun it's not about rich or poor, many rich people spend a lot of their time just for play gambling because they bored or dont know in where they must their money.

I know rich people who earned their money by working hard and spend wisely, they still play gambling for fun and don't lose big.
I know other rich people who spend all their money to gambling and even be in debt and work (sing) for their whole life for free in Cyprus because of their gambling debt. Cheesy
It's about mentality, not about being poor or rich.
What did those people do to get rich by hard work? I don't know a single person that's rich, let alone that did it by hard work. All those rich people I see are often times celebrities, or people that manage to be insanely successful in what they do without any clear reason other than offering a good product + seeing it go viral and reaching a ton of people. Of course, other people get rich off good investments which also require luck.
But the classic meaning of hard work for me is working a ton of hours daily.. I don't know anyone that got rich like that. Wealthy yes, by saving, but not rich with that alone.

If I woke up tomorrow with 50 million dollars as in OP's hypothetical scenario, then not only would I be able to live comfortably off the yearly interest alone, but I would also be able to travel the world in style... and also gamble of course.  Grin
