Gambling is a addiction bad addiction. Few days ago I see a user lost 65BTC and another user 30BTC amd another user 12BTC in a dice site. All those user lost huge huge within 24 hours.
But even if we say that it is a bad addiction, a lot of people are still gambling despite the fact that it will really bring you down to the pit. Regret and depression is one of the most popular effect of gambling to people.
Also, these gambler might be rich so they have nothing to worry about those losses. We don't know what they are thinking losing that great amount to the site but all we know is that they had lost and it is hard to get that back.
I always noticed that greater number of gambler in casinos are that of poor people. Reach people also play gambling but their number is less as compare to rich people. I think that the only reason is that is disappointment and joblessness, which compel people to start plying gambling, from where they can see a chance to make big money in short time but it is very rate and most of the people instead of making some money they lose their own money.
Rich people do gamble not to make money, in contrast to addicts who play and think that they can become rich from gambling, that is what distinguishes them. people who have a purpose for fun will be very easy to stop, in contrast to addicts who are waiting for their money runsout to stop
There are still a lot of rich people that gambles for money and not only for fun/entertainment and socializing, some are really addicted to gambling and there are even a lot of stories about this rich people that experienced the effect of this mental disorder. Though, there are three gamblers you can see based on their statuses, the Rich, the poor and other one is in the middle of the two.
Most of the poor people are really wanting to earn money out of gambling, it may be a high risk but it is not possible for them so they keep on trying. The middle are either desperate or having fun and the last are the rich people that don't usually gamble for money but still, there are a lot of them hoping to win their gambling activities.
