Topic: Alter Ego In Gambling - page 2. (Read 1253 times)

Yes, those who spend a lot of money when they gamble want to show off to people who gamble that they are very rich people who can afford to gamble with a lot of money. They can also accept their defeat well because they have a lot of money, so they will not feel like they have lost a lot of money due to their defeat. But we also don't know how much their total wealth is so that they can spend so much money on gambling, so we might just be amazed to see the amount of money they use for gambling. But some rich people won't use much money when they gamble because they don't want to see huge losses they can't afford. And that is in line with what they do in the real world, which always emphasizes living frugally.

Some people run out of options when it comes to spending their money just like what Andrew Tate said when you reach high and buy yourself a yacht, that's the end game and you don't have anything to buy anymore since there is nothing to buy literally. that's why we see lots of them in the Casino, not to make themselves richer but they find it to be the best place to spend their money and to show off and those are the ones who love to waste their wealth, unlike others who choose to build a foundation and used his money to help others instead and when helping others, you will find peace when you see the smile on their faces.

That does make sense. Tipping in online gambling is just like ordering food at home and tipping the person who is taking your order while sitting in the restaurant it would only make sense if you tip the delivery guy or if you tip a waiter if you are at the restaurant yourself. Tipping in live games might make some sense because most of the time, in live games like roulette and stuff, humans are managing the tables and games and they deserve tips for their service and time even though they are already getting paid for that.

When you talk about being rich and saving money, there is nothing wrong with that. Just because someone is rich, it doesn't mean they shouldn't save money and spend a lot of money on their gambling activities because you might not stay rich forever, dynamics in life take no time to change.

My alter ego in gambling is Scrooge McDuck. I am rich but I am greedy as hell Really, I am able to bet more than I usually bet, but I prefer to save money. Sometimes I prefer not to bet, but just look how game is going. Also, compared to IRL. I do not tip in gambling. Call me greedy, but I dont understand why should I tip or rain money online. IRL it is clear, I get service, attention. Giving tips online (live games)? What for?

And surely it was kept in control for a reason. Those individuals that are too risky could die without giving birth to offspring and their genes wouldn't be transmitted further. So, if our Alter Ego in gambling is some unhinged character from the distant past, we better keep him in control, just in case.

As far as I know, the nature or concept of alter ego tends to be more psychological and social in terms of individual human personality. If the nature of alter ego is related to gambling, of course it creates itself in carrying out gambling activities, For me, whether I realize it or not, if someone is in the gambling arena, an alter ego will be created by itself.

The fact that alter egos occur does not only happen in the real world, in today's digital era it also happens, such as carelessness in gambling and this also happens on most social media platforms, By being aware of the changes and gaps in gambling, this includes emotional character and forgetting the risks that will occur. In essence, I also gamble and do it in many ways based on my own personality.

A simile explaining the situation indeed. Gambling does bring in a rush of emotions and thus a number of neurohormonal changes in the body. This leads to a primal state of the body to reawaken which has been kept in control by years of civilization. It should be kept in control though, because the bad effect is that the casino is taking the control over you if you lose yourself in such manner.

It does not happen to everyone but it happens to many and not just in gambling, but in games involving a lot of emotional flow, these things are not uncommon.

First, when reading your post I wanted to argue, but then you said it yourself, you do have "some different personalities", and one of them is revealed when you are gambling. It's a normal thing. I'm like that too most of the time. If I was behaving always like when I'm gambling, my life would turn into hell. All of us need an alter ego for doing various things, gambling included.

If you are under in the influence of;

1. Alcohol
2. Drugs
3. Depression/Anger/Anxiety
4. Family problems or any other

Then there's no such thing about those formal people not to show off their real selves excluding on Drugs on which we know that this is the most severe thing
that could affect peoples mind and could do such things which a normal thinking people wouldnt be able to do so.
Alter ego? Its normal since we are just humans but as long you arent that affecting someone then it should really be just fine
but if other then it would be an another story.

Many people have an activity in which they can let go and enjoy themselves to their fullest, where I live the most common place where this happens is a bar, in which people that you can see at your place of work be incredibly professional all the time, seem to transform and become someone else when they drink, but this is not so much a transformation as it is simply those people showing you who they really are and what it is what they truly enjoy.

We all have that alter ego, some knows how to control and some don't know how, but for me I strongly believe that gambling is dangerous, the only way to be ahead of gambling emotion and other problems is to avoid risking too much on gambling.

Avoid having the mindset that gambling will give you things that your jobs or investment should, I know the dangers awaiting me when I am gambling, this is why I am never going to fall at the mercy of gambling, I don't expect much from this..

I prefer working very hard and saving up money and also investing my money, gambling is just something I do for fun and only when I missed it, with very small amount of money, the expectations that people have in gambling is what get them wrecked.

Things like this can happen because people have different preferences, not everyone likes branded goods even though they have the ability to own them and also not all gamblers like to bet large amounts even though they have the ability to do so. It could also be because they prefer to make the games longer rather than increase the risk to get more.
However, in my opinion, if there is a gambler who in real life looks safer but in gambling actually prefers risk because he sees that taking risks in everyday life does not give him the opportunity to get a lot of profit quickly, but in gambling there is a chance to get it, even though it is not something that is guaranteed to be obtained, and I am the same person in everyday life and in gambling, always making considerations and occasionally making big bets, but that is money from gambling profits, not from deposited capital, so it could be said that I am not someone who likes to take risks and if I do, it is because previous results have been profitable.

Ego is of course an integral part of every human being. That is of course inborn within each one of us, but that doesn't refer to an alter ego in gambling. That alter ego in gambling is not a basic human characteristic. Not everybody has that gambling alter ego in which they are thrifty in some other things but are very extravagant in gambling. I myself have an ego but I don't spend minimally in other things but a high roller inside casinos.

Everyone has their alter ego or another personality when we do our thing. If it's about gambling, I am sure that most of us changes our ways and attitude towards the bets we make. And for investing, many are also aggressive and doesn't listen to anybody because no one is better than ourselves. I don't have an alter ego when I gamble and I typically enjoy whatever happens to my bets and that's simple like I am enjoying every single bet I make.

I dont see any irresponsibility thing when everything is really just that normal reaction for a human being to have specially that we do lose money and we do know that no one does really like on losing money.

This is why it would really be normal that even on how thrift and conservative you are when it comes to behavior and overall, it cant really be just that avoided that you would really be having those reacitons yet we are really just that humans. I dont see something bad if you would really be having those kind of switch up when it comes to posture and overall behavior on the time that we do lost money.
Just like i have said that no one really likes on losing money so reactions like this are normal and it isnt shocking.

Why would really be that to be an issue on something like this? People do have emotions and losing money is never been that giving that good feeling.

I don't think this is funny as it is a mixed behaviour. If you don't do a thing in real life but doing otherwise in gambling, that will certainly not be good and it could easily bring out the irresponsibility in that person. What the guy is doing is reckless and if he continues that way, it can't never have that happy ending, which is why it is good to be careful even from the beginning. Some people have their near-perfect behaviour, and some can even help you to plan your life and you will hardly see a fault in their doings and the way they handle matters wisely. But that does not mean they are without faults too, they are humans too. They might have their devil one way or the other, and it is good when it does not involve money, but in the presence of money, another issue might arise.

To you, the person might be okay, but he is not, the psychology that is attached to money is different from the one that is attached to behaviour without money. All that matters is for someone to be cautious no matter how good you think you are, and whether it is in gambling or not and maybe other things where money is also involved or not, we must not be egoistic, we must not let ourselves to be affected or being driven without a control. If money is being made, that is a different ballgame, but when money is being lost regularly, C'mon, it is bad. No one is perfect and motivation might creep in when we least expect it, which is what might cause some people to believe they can do it better again but will keep on wasting money. There is nothing better than discipline and being neutral in gambling, and when you have a good plan and budget, it makes it better.

When they feel pleasure, they will be different from what we see in normal situations. That is normal because a person's attitude and emotions will change so that something different emerges from him. But if they choose to use gambling as a place to make money, they should think about the risks. They will not find the pleasure they found before because their goals have changed. And that will only make our egos change to become even more eager to get a big win. Those who do it will only feel that it is a unique experience that they are getting even though their ego has changed from its normal state. We must be able to avoid this because it can trigger us to forget to be careful when gambling and can make us lose more money without us realizing it.

People can act in very different ways at times, like when they're gaming. There are people who use gambling as a place to take chances and try to win big, which is not like them at all. I understand what your friend went through. When I bet, I always do things the same way. Seeing how the thrill of the game can bring out different sides of people is interesting. This makes the experience unique for each person.

Is there any study, which proves that your personality has something to do with your style of gambling? I don't know about such study.
Maybe you don't really know your friend. I don't think that somebody can be a huge risk taker in gambling and very cautious and conservative in his normal life. Maybe your friend is at the early stages of developing a gambling addiction. You should talk to him about this.
I'm conservative in life, but I'm also conservative in gambling. I don't like taking huge risks in both life and gambling. I like to be predictable and stable.

Be grateful if you can get rid of your ego in gambling. because this is a basic human characteristic that has been present since birth, of course there must be this characteristic.
If you can't control it, it's very annoying when gambling and will only result in bigger losses.
