Are there people who want to get rich by gambling? It will be ridiculous to say the least. Most of the people I know that won big like $5,000 have gone back to square 1. At least $5,000 is quite reasonable to win in gambling from where I am. Such amount is quite huge to start a good investment but such winners couldn't utilize it. And the reason is that, as a gambler who won such money, you have the believe that it is your season of luck then you increase your stake from your winning. The point is gamblers have a character of continue playing when they win and thereby losing most of the money which brings them back to status quo, making it difficult to get rich with gambling.
