I believe one reason rich people don't get addicted easily is because they typically think differently than most people, especially when it comes to money. From what I know, rich people usually only dare to allocate a large portion of their money to something that makes sense and generates profit.
This means gambling isn't included in it; they simply view it as nothing more than entertainment. I'm convinced that the outcome of a game, which relies solely on luck, prevents rich people from taking gambling seriously.
I personally think that rich people actually see money in a different way. For them, money is not just an expense but wherever you put it it will come back even bigger the next day. So they take risks but they calculate it, and gambling is completely based on luck there is no plan or control here so they do not see it as a serious investment. There is another thing. Those who have little money sometimes tend to gamble in the hope of getting money quickly. Rich people do not have that kind of mental pressure. So they do not get addicted even if they play comfortably because losing does not cause a big blow to their lives. This difference in pressure also changes people's behavior, In my opinion gambling is just like watching a movie for the rich just passing the time. And no one wants to build a life with something that is just entertainment.
Yes, the bottom line is that wealthy people are only interested or serious about an activity when it can actually benefit them. Their perspective is very realistic, especially when it involves money, and gambling is clearly not an option for them.
I agree with you that gambling for wealthy people is no different than watching a movie, just a way to pass the time. However, this shouldn't be limited to the wealthy; all gamblers should treat gambling this way, as it is the correct approach.
