For 30 thousand dollars you could go to Paris for a week and vacation there and come back while visiting great restaurants and historical things, for 300 dollars you could have a decent weekend at wherever you are, so it is not "tiny amount for a rich person" when it gets bigger since if you are super rich there is still other stuff you could do with that money, which is why winning is still quite important.

Very true. Some people think that rich people are not blown away by amounts like $30K which is true in some cases, but this applies to the minority based on what I have observed. Majority of the them still go crazy when they win such amounts.

Majority of them earned money through their own hard work which is why they tend to value every single cent(Eg: Bill Gates), but a minority of them treat such amounts like nothing(Eg: Rich kids who never earned anything).

The money which you gain from hard work, you know the value of that money and hence you will never waste that money. The rich kids who are born with a golden spoon in their mouth, will never understand how hard it is to collect the money.
Same goes with gambling, if anyone win big from gambling, that is called easy money and they will not know the worth of that money.

I doubt the difference is like that when it comes to people who earned their money versus people who inherited that kind of money. Of course there is a big difference between those two type of people but we are talking about someone who wagered over 30 thousand dollars on a sports bet here, so I doubt there is much difference between him and anyone who spends their money without a care in the world, dude is basically one of them.

I doubt even today Bill Gates wouldn't spend 30k on a sports bet, he wouldn't wager it, he spends billions on charity but would refrain from gambling it. So this dude could be hard worked to earn his money or lucky to have his money but in the end he is a degen like us who likes to gamble as much as he can afford as well, the only difference is, he can afford a lot more than us.

rich people work too and yes they know how to value money . i knew a rich family , his kids are not greedy and they do also know how to value thier money and take not thier kids are not working yet . so it also depend on the parent if what good manners taught to them by thier parents . when it comes to gambling a person can play depending on what he can afford to loose , usually rich people bet alot compare to poor . they could be doing it once in a while , thats why thier bets are extra ordinary than regular players .

I believe the theory that rich people do not care for their money is horribly wrong, and since youll have cited the example of Bill Gates Im sure youll remember that he tipped a waitress $5, and his daughter tipped the same waitress $500. In this scenario Bill gates could have tipped more, but he understood the value of his money and hence he didnt tip more hope this settles this debate.

Twenty dollars to twelve thousand.. just like that 🙏🏼

This is a very lucky gambler and I havent seen anyone win such a huge amount by placing a $20 bet, are there more users like him who have won huge bets by placing such small amounts?.
