When I started gambling my mindset is solely about winning some cash to better my life but the more I gamble, the more that idea shifts. The money no longer satisfies my initial goal but the idea of winning does.

But even with those ideals in play, why would a millionaire start gambling in the first place?  

so why would a rich athlete or politician become so addictive to gambling?

I think socialization+joy+drinking+gambling is satisfaction to them. What do you think?

Exactly right, and you've made a great observation. Gambling captivates not just because of potential financial gain but due to the exhilaration it brings. This excitement can attract anyone, regardless of their financial status. It's the combination of thrill, the social atmosphere, and the joy of the game that really draws people in.
