Suppose, as title says — you had infinite amount of money, would you still gamble?

Personally, I can't see myself giving two fucks when I don't care for money in first place. Would you?
Infinite amount of money? Hell yeah!!!!
I will still gamble, but not for the sake of money anymore, but for the sake of fun, and every time I put a bet, I always have this "YOLO!!!" mindset where I will always go all in to ALL of my bets because at the end of the day, I have an infinite amount of money. Cheesy

Of course realistically speaking, this will never happen (at least if you're the likes of Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or those famous billionaires out there that knows how to make huge amounts of money). Well, I might better spend those money travelling around the world, or giving it to those who are in need because... why not. I mean I'll be a philanthropist in an instant if that happens.

Anyway, gambling isn't on my priority that's why I might not still be doing it if I have this thing on me.
Love the infinite-money fantasy it's hilarious and freeing but even a pretend endless bankroll needs a bit of structure so the fun doesn't turn into chaos. set a named "fun money" pile you can actually lose and treat it like a separate universe all-in bets live there no debt allowed set caps per night and per week if you blow it you shrug and wait till the next cycle pick crazy memories not stuff — weird festivals spontaneous road trips sleep in a treehouse bankroll a tiny creative project or fund a friend's wild idea and scale what actually brings joy. if real wealth ever shows up focus on travel that teaches and targeted giving set up a donor advised fund or microgrants and make one simple rule three trusted people can veto anything that looks reckless, run a quick checklist before a big all in will this wreck relationships or mental health if yes back off.

keep a tiny yolo ledger notes on every big bet what was dumb what was golden gamify generosity let friends pitch small grants and vote make experiments small pilot them measure joy then scale beware hedonic adaptation novelty beats stuff so invest in new contexts learn weird skills try awkward things and if gambling stops being fun shrink the fun bankroll without drama.
