the so-called "higher class" pple... don't they trade in stocks
too? to term it in a nicer way, it's an "investment"... but not all
of them are qualified enough to analyze the stocks for themselves
and many end up with loss-making "investments" too... isn't that
also a form of gambling?
i don't know if those who buy 4D are only the lower income group,
but if it's true, then it's probably simply that they don't have
the type of capital to play in the stock market like the higher
income group does, and they are not sophisticated enough to think
about financial portfolios and stuff... certainly they know how to
save enough for their housing, children's education etc
though
the common factor here is that people are buying a hope... money is
never enough.. whether u trade in stocks or u buy 4D, all u hope is
that that big break is just there and you might just strike it big
one day (and 4D is so much easier to play)
personally i also agree that the money u pour into 4D is greater
than the return, and i think most pple do too... but to these
people, that little piece of hope is worth so much more, and nobody
minds
