gambling is not categorized for either those with sufficient money and those without sufficient funds, gambling is a game of luck that can Favour everyone both the rich, poor those with sufficient funds and those without sufficient funds. ordinarily i did not gamble because i did not have sufficient funds, i gamble most times to know if luck will shine on me. gambling is not certain and if you have the mindset that gambling will be the only measure to get money, i will be sorry to tell you sorry because you might end up losing the ones you have. most people gamble for fun especially those with sufficient money because they will stake huge amount of money for either to entertain themselves or double the money. we cannot measure the percentage of the classes of people who gamble it all depends on your location because sometimes in some areas the poor will gamble more and other areas the middle class and the rich class as well, so we can't say for sure the class of people that gamble more because it depends on individual mindset.
There are people , perhaps including you, who do not gamble regularly simply because they have limited financial resources. But for some, gambling is a form of entertainment; they have fun while playing. It should be noted that such people have more than enough money to take care of their needs.
It goes without saying that gambling is a risky venture: it can never be depended upon as a reliable source of income. Indeed, as you rightly pointed out, if one goes into gambling with the mindset that it is an easy way to make money, then the outcome could easily turn into massive losses.
Gambling tendencies differ by region and society, an interesting point indeed. Although some locales may see the less fortunate inclined towards greater gambling, it's a game without set rules on who partakes more. This is primarily steered by elements like culture, accessibility, and personal inclinations.
Therefore, while gambling holds its allure for anyone approaching it, prudence is key; it should not be leaned upon as a livelihood strategy.
