I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?

It depends how you look at it really and there is a pretty huge spectrum to cover. Those who have little money will either be a problem gambler spending all their spare funds or someone that is just doing it for a bit of social fun, not expecting a big win realistically - just hopeful. The same goes for the rich, who can get caught up in the same psychological and addictive behaviors, they just have a much longer trajectory until they fail. Sometimes it doesn't even take long for the rich to become poor as they are liable to just drop down bigger number bets than others. Gambling when you have little money is going to make you even more depressed when it inevitably fails.

There would be no sense that you would really be thriving on having that dealing up with gambling just because you dont have that enough money? There's no sense in regarding into that aspect.
This is why it would really be best that you should really be knowing on what are the things that you are really that dealing with because in speaking about gambling then we do know that this is really just that for the sake of entertainment and not something that you could really be that rely into it in regarding about making money because winning is really just that a bonus and not something
that you could really be making it as your main source of income. People are really just that delusional into the things that they are really that dealing with and this is the main reason on why
they do really end up on messing up their lives because of such approach.
