This is an open question, maybe I could be wrong in the eye of some of you but am asking this question because a large number of addicted gamblers are not even up to a middle class standard but they are addicted. Can someone tell me why it's like that or is it totally a different case in your society, maybe an opposite of what I asking is happening in your own society. Poor people gets more addicted, following the middle class before it gets to the rich. Since it's like that, I think it's just the poor people that are gambling the most in the world, if am not correct, I stand to be corrected.
Addiction starts because of that fact you have a chance to win big, going back chasing your loss and creating a cycle of losing and trying to win back. When it comes to someone who already has enough money which means he is rich, even after losing a lot of money it will look like nothing to him as long as he doesn’t need to win anything back.
While it’s not always the case for rich people, they may get addicted too because of that good feeling and adrenaline rush.
