I have the feeling that many forum members think that a rich person gets money easier than a poor person. That's a misconception. Everything depends on the person himself, not on how much money he has. There are many examples when a poor person has achieved very great successes in his life and the reason for this was only his aspiration, desire to become better and hard work. A poor person remains poor because he is afraid to experiment, to learn something new, to take risks, to use his money correctly. So the chances are equal for everyone - in real life and in gambling.
A rich person just happen to be a person that has much opportunity to get much more money while a poor person or an average person has a small way. However, the struggle on how we make this money is what make us feel pain about the money. A person that do make money through money laundering will be consider a rich person but I'm not sure if he spend such money in gambling is going to feel the same thing with a person that work for 30 days to make the same money.
If you work for your money and try to gamble it, you will feel the pain in all your body but even as a poor person, if you are given money for free and didn't work for it and gamble it, you might not really feel the pain like that compare to if you have really work for it.
