Gambling an activity for fun also has the chance to turn someone's fortune. Calculated risk when taken in gambling can be the way to big wins from gambling. Who do you think should take more risk in gambling? The rich gambler or the gambler who is not yet rich. If a rich gambler takes risks in gambling, they are risking losing money and becoming poor from gambling, or getting richer, when a gambler who is not yet rich gambles, they can also get poorer or richer, so the gambler who should take the risk should be the gambler who can handle the dangers of the risk like losing too. When a rich gambler loses from taking a risk, there is a better chance of them being in a position to manage with the losses, than someone struggling financially who a big loss will really affect. So, I am confused after asking myself this question and answering it, does this mean a poor gambler should continue to play it safe in gambling? With no risk, how can a poor gambler change their fortune in gambling?
First, let me start by saying that gambling is not, and should never be considered as a source of income, the poor man should get a job and work hard to become rich, rather than hope on winning and becoming rich through gambling, while the rich man who already have a job he or she managing should not relent, but continue to work harder and smarter for him or her to become even more rich, rather than hope or depend on gambling to do that for him or her.
Overall, all should respect the rules of gambling and enjoy having the fun, rather than gambling with a mindset of making money.
With the above been said, and in a more mutual context, I would say that neither the rich nor the poor has to risk more or less when it comes to gambling, taking risks is an individual thing, it has nothing to do with people financial class or level so to say.
I have seen rich men and women who are so fearful of losing their money to the extent they won't been spend money on good cloths to wear, or good food to eat, while on the other hand, I have also seen poor people who are very confident in themselves and could take any risk regardless of how much involved as long as it's within an amount they can afford, this is possibly why we see some poor people who borrowed money, sold their property to invest in bitcoin, while some the rich are very skeptical about putting a dime in bitcoin.
Overall, appetite for taking risk lives in different people and it's on different levels, regardless of their financial levels.
One thing many people have failed to understand is that gambling is better when it is considered as engagement of fun and not for the sake of making a living out of it and that's why a lot of people today have continued to risk almost everything they have in gambling in their quest to earn a good living through gambling or better still change their financial status quo using their wins in gambling.
The rich man knows that it's absolutely good to take risks but that's definitely not on gambling because he knows that the probability of getting a return from such risks are very slim so would rather not take big risks in it. But the poor man is always ready to stake every damn thing in his possession with the aim of winning hugely at the end which in most times doesn't end like they've thought. When it comes to gambling, I don't think it's a wise decision to take huge risks no matter the financial class of an individual
You are right, and what you said is actually a kind totally different from the perspective I made my comment from, but all the same, you are right and I agree with you.
And furthermore, we must not also forget that there are different types of risk, we have..
1. The low level risk
2. The meduim level risk
3. The high level risk
And in each of this risk types, there are two categories of risk inside, and they are..
1. Calculate risk
2. Uncalculated risk
So, the rich, it is acually possible for someone who don't know much about risk to be taking a low level, yet Uncalculated risk, for such risk, the rich man may win or lose he's money, because outcome in every Uncalculated risk will always depend on how lucky the person is.
But a person can actually take a high level, yet a well calculated risk, in this type, the risk is high, but it is a calculated one, so, it now depends on how accurate or correct the person's calculation is, for him or her to win, and we all know that high risk comes with high reward.
What I do think that many poor people are doing is, taking high level risk that are Uncalculated, this is why most gamble and still lose, the rich on the other hand did not become rich by chance, it takes a high level of intelligence to be rich and also maintain the wealth, this class of people already know how to take calculated risk, even if it's a high risk, they just make sure its well calculated, and this is why we some times see that rich people will bet millions and win, and a poor man will bet $2 and still lose it.
