Farmers who have chickens for eggs especially on a large scale, easily get tired of eating the eggs from their chickens or even eggs in general. Caterers get tired of eating their own pastries, just as people who are exposed to certain produce get tired of them due to over exposure. Do you think this experience is the same for casino owners and owners of sports betting platforms?
Do you think that the owners of casinos and sports betting platform, gamble as much as other people do? If they gamble, do you think they gamble on their platform?
The question would be more interesting if you take into consideration some relative numbers as well. What does
as mucheven mean here? Do you mean in terms of time or in terms of spending on gambling relative to income?
Take a casino owner who makes 100k per month and he spends 1% of that on gambling but only plays once a week. The guy is still fine if he sets this limit for himself and that's it. If someone is an excessive gambler, I don't know whether it is likely that that person runs successful casinos and has always been an excessive player. It could be the case, but I would imagine that people running successful businesses do have some self-control that might be stronger relative to another average person. There is also the difference that a casino owner's motivation for gambling might be different from that of an ordinary player. The intent might rather be to represent a casino on certain occasions or use one's own reputation (if there is any) to attract new players etc.
