Gambling an activity for fun also has the chance to turn someone's fortune. Calculated risk when taken in gambling can be the way to big wins from gambling. Who do you think should take more risk in gambling? The rich gambler or the gambler who is not yet rich. If a rich gambler takes risks in gambling, they are risking losing money and becoming poor from gambling, or getting richer, when a gambler who is not yet rich gambles, they can also get poorer or richer, so the gambler who should take the risk should be the gambler who can handle the dangers of the risk like losing too. When a rich gambler loses from taking a risk, there is a better chance of them being in a position to manage with the losses, than someone struggling financially who a big loss will really affect. So, I am confused after asking myself this question and answering it, does this mean a poor gambler should continue to play it safe in gambling? With no risk, how can a poor gambler change their fortune in gambling?
A "poor" gambler has a totally different outlook in life and mentality. What little money they have might mean the difference between staying in their home or getting kicked out on the streets, or it might mean the difference between their kids eating tonight or not. When you have little money it means even more to you than the other end of the spectrum. Losing that little amount with nothing tangible to show for it will make you sick and angry, yet it can all disappear in a few clicks or dropping money into a slot machine. For someone with very big bank accounts, a gambling session might just be a casual piece of entertainment, because they have the foresight to know that casinos are the only long term winners in this equation.
