Well, rich people may not gamble continuously since they don't gamble to get big wins but they do it as a hobby or just to have some fun and use it as a pass time activity. The high rollers in every casino, especially the land-based ones, are rich people who gamble with a lot of money and some of them don't even care if they lose all of it.
The main thing is the difference in perspectives and how people from each category look at gambling. A rich person would obviously not look to gamble his way to richness since he is already rich, and a poor person wants to turn the little money that he has into a fortune.
Right, yeah, I think that's how it goes. The rich people gambling are just using a bit of their money for fun, knowing that they won't make money from it most probably.
Whereas the poor will usually pay to have the hope to become rich, which ironically makes it impossible for them to ever become rich as they waste all their money.
Because for those who are poor and gamble just one win is able to forget all the losses they have suffered, for example, they getting $ 200 from 1 game with only $5 capital will make them happy because $200 may be the biggest value they have ever had but forget that before getting $200 they already spent quite a lot maybe even bigger but it didn't feel like it because they never recorded it and it happened over and over again.
I see how people who keep buying lotteries even with only $1 every day who if they win only give them less than $100 and think they are lucky but they are not. Poor people often do gambling because they think this is the easiest way to get big money compared to continuing to work if they get the jackpot it will change their life even though their life won't change because usually, the person will spend their money more because they can't control emotions when get a lot of money.
The affluent versus the struggling bettor. But what if we give the coin a spin, toss it sideways? A person's financial standing doesn't necessarily pull the strings of their gambling habit. The puppet master here is psychology.
Ponder this. The intoxicating mix of risk and potential gain, it doesn't discriminate between the classes. It's less about the size of the bank account, more about the electric thrill! High-roller games may be the favored haunt of the wealthy, true, but isn't there equal delight for those at the penny slots, despite the fewer zeros in their balance?
Now, let's spin this yarn from another angle. For the less fortunate gambler, the siren call of a life-altering win can be overwhelmingly enticing. Yet, can we justly lay all the blame at their feet? What of the societal frameworks and economic circumstances that nurture and sustain poverty? Perhaps our real wager should be on societal renovation instead of lottery dreams. Now that's a prize worth pursuing!
