I got a friend who can't live without gambling even for a day,he is much older than me and he is working in a company and getting salary to cover his life expenses but he got the desire to be a richer person so he tr gambling everyday and he hoping that someday he will be a millionare but he is just losing all his hard earned money.
The same case is with many people. They want to be rich in short time but it is just their desire and they choose gambling to fulfill their desire. But I want to say that if it was possible everyone would be a gambler now because everyone wants to make money as soon as possible. The result always differs from the expectations and they even lose the money for their daily expenses. Their life conditions become miserable gradually.
Its easy to become rich over a long period of time but who wants to be a millionaire when they are in their 60s. You can enjoy wealth much more when your younger, thats why a lot of people gamble. But on the opposite end, there are mega wealthy people that gamble even though they are rich. I suspect it is juts an adrenaline rush thing, there end goal is not actually the money.
