Gambling includes plethora of games, various sports to bet on but doesn't it all boil down to money in the end? More the money involved, more the thrill.
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?
Now for some reason it occurred to me that this question cannot be answered unequivocally. After all, we all live and consume according to Maslow's pyramid and try to close our financial issues with gambling.
But if we do not need money, then, most likely, we will be worried about some ethical and moral issues of self-affirmation. And perhaps we will want to test fate and find out that we are lucky. But gambling games, just such have the property of giving a person confidence that he is chosen by Fortune.
