Those who engage in it at first out of boredom and the desire to fill the spiritual emptiness, but then quickly susceptible familiar gamble hoarding.

Almost unlimited finances allow them to acquire the best products or announce as such the most expensive (this method most familiar to them on the main kind of activity).
