Topic: Alter Ego In Gambling - page 6. (Read 1165 times)

I carry my personality in everything I do and everywhere I go and whatever I do because I don't want to lose control, especially in gambling where there's a probability of losing everything, I want to be in control especially when there's money involved.
So no about the question I don't have an alter ego I don't want to surprise my friends with a different personality from the one that they use to know, it will cause discomfort for both of us.

It's pretty normal to know that there's a lot of people who has their other personality when it comes to gambling or other activities. Especially if a person builds a strong connection to that activity, their attitude will change and become different than their normal self without realizing it. That's how gambling affects a person to the point that they didn't aware even in the smallest changes. People should know it as early as they can, so they can balance their self behavior depends to the things that they do.

When someone gets to know gambling, their attitude can change and be completely different from usual. They don't even realize that something has changed about them and only the people around them can see it. But they can continue gambling while their attitude will become increasingly different and clearly visible to other people. Those who gamble can get joy and sadness because of the results they get from gambling. By gambling, they show another side of themselves that is very different from what other people know, so if they get deeper into gambling, they will change drastically so that the people around them will be surprised and confused to see them.

The impact of gambling on an individual transcends their personal goodness or cultural background. The difficulty of making money through gambling also adds a pragmatic aspect. It only needs a seed of greed for anyone to be influenced by gambling, Regardless of being a good or bad person, well-cultured, or well-behaved.

The motivations, such as the desire for substantial gains, can play a significant role in the engagement with gambling, but people need to realize the challenges involved and cautions. There is a broad-reaching impact of gambling. It needs to recognize personal motivations and the realistic challenges associated with attempting to make money through this activity. It serves as a reminder that caution and self-awareness are crucial when navigating the world of gambling.

Good personality doesn't matter in gambling, it will surely corrupt it if one is not careful. Gambling could be good or bad depending on the approach used by the person and the preparedness of the same matters so well. Even if you are the best person in the world, well-cultured, and well-behaved, that doesn't mean you will not be affected by gambling and start gambling anyhow, especially if you are greedy, just like your friend. I sense greed there, not even the ego you mentioned as ego doesn't have to be with the money involved and your friend is not overconfident but just needs huge gain. The money involved is a thing of choice as he believes he can make money through gambling which is possible but not easy.

I hope this works well for him, but if it doesn't, it is better that he retraces his steps before it is too late. Wasting big money unnecessarily is foolishness, particularly in a thing like gambling that is very risky. I can also advise that casinos are not the best places for such to play as it is not what I will trust entirely even as some casinos have their provably fair system. I would rather prefer sportsbooks for him and he should be wise in the selection of his games. With this, playing with big money that is well planned and managed will only amount to higher success if he knows how to forecast well.

I once felt it when I was still in a bad situation at gambling when I had positive thoughts about not gambling again with large amounts but after entering gambling I became very confident that betting large amounts would give me a very big win but in the end I lost and I often experience conditions like this until in the end I experience something like an addiction, almost depression, but I can change everything to become a healthy bettor or gambler, always committed to what I have planned beforehand, not to gamble beyond my limits and throw away the alter ego from my life as a whole slowly and to this day successfully become a safe gambler.

what I can take from my experience is that the alter ego has positive things about doing business, such as feeling hesitant about doing business, but when you start wanting to run a business, that feeling of doubt turns into very confident.
but unfortunately this alter ego has a bad impact on gambling because anyone must have experienced it when they dont want to bet too much but under certain conditions their character changes to become very confident in betting large amounts and this can have the impact of addiction in the long term.

People who gamble can't keep money in any way. I think we should keep some money from our income in our bank as well as gambling with some money it can be good for us. While gambling we have to pay attention to some aspects so that gambling  We don't waste much money in the game. Never take any wrong decision while gambling we have to face big loss. Gambling can't overload you.

Your attitude reflects on almost everything you do in life... I can't say for sure what would've made his case different... Maybe for the fact that people could be a little bit temperamental atimes... ?? Maybe he doesn't just wanna show forth his real attitude?? Maybe he's prone to being extravagant when it comes to any course of making money?? Maybe not.

The things you get to learn everyday on the net would either MAKE YOU or DESTROY YOU. AFAIK, having your stakes increased is a betting strategy... There are more chances when you adopt 'em.

It is natural for many people to be arrogant because it will arise when we are making big profits. We tend to underestimate other people and may not think that they can have the same luck as us. And when we feel that our abilities are better than other people's, we will try to take greater risks than we use. But the results will not be as expected because we are already arrogant. And if they can't control their arrogance, it's only a matter of time before they see someone else can beat them and achieve greater victory than they did. That's why we need to learn self-control to control all the negative feelings that will come out when we win.

When someone experiences a personality disorder it will be much more difficult to control themselves. Gambling should not change our personality but rather we control it, but it is a shame that many people have problems with this. Taking risks basically depends on how responsible a person is, but if the intention is to gamble and make profits regularly, it is an unreasonable risk.

It's the same with me because when we don't care about anything we will try to do things that are much crazier than gambling. But his nature is more responsible, including when involved in gambling, because if someone cannot control himself this is where his downfall begins.

This is very unlikely in the sense that he might have a personality disorder or something. That's two very distinctive and far away in terms of a spectrum and maybe he just had that touch when it comes to gambling. He might have that personality in terms of risk-taking and maybe he is addicted to the thrill. It's quite intriguing, to be honest.

I don't have any alter ego but I have some bursts of "LET'S FUCKING GO" when I don't care about anything in the world.

I don't really change my behaviour when I am gambling. It is possible that I could change it slightly, but I have not observed it. Maybe I might ask somebody if I really change my behaviour. I have observed that I usually change my behaviour when I am among friends discussing. I also alter my personality when I am playing football. I could be loud when I am among friends and playing football which is the opposite of who I am.

But you are correct OP that gambling could change people's personalities because I have seen a friend who is very quiet but he is always wild and violent when he is in a physical bet shop especially when he is losing. Some people become drunks after winning big in casinos, which is not their true personality. Basically, I think different games or environments could change the personality of anybody.        

Arrogance works in almost all people and it is not right to apply them in the gambling stage. Having a great desire to win can have a negative impact on day-to-day activities as it is not possible to know when it will actually happen. That's why you have to stick to caution without feeling arrogant about betting and deal with risk by presenting your arguments well.

I have met this kind of people in real life several times. Whereby what they do most times differ from their personality. You might see them as people who are so cool and they could not even kill an ant, but when there is a fight you will see the beast in them. I have never seen such in gambling, whereby someone who appears not to be able to take a risk begin to gamble more than they can afford to lose. What I have witness is someone who always pretend not to have money and is not willing to spend money whenever he is with his pair group. Whenever it concerns gambling or something to his personal life he will spend more than expected. I don't now if this category of persons belong to what you describe as alter ego. If yes, that means I have witnessed them but I don't have that character. I am always myself, I don't fake it and I am always real to myself.

Well, the alter ego does not necessarily have to be intrinsic to your personality, so I will try to be someone with a winning personality, someone real.  Since it does not personify only itself or someone fictitious.

In any case, I think you are confusing things, the attitude you have when playing games does not necessarily have to do with your daily personality, the decisions that are made are always different, you can make a bet of $1000, but you don't spend that on clothing, for example, is another attitude.

As he always mentioned, a poker player thinks differently than a player of traditional casino games, at least those who are documented, study the game, so having an attitude at a gaming table has nothing to do with the as a person you are.

Isildur was (is) one of the most aggressive players playing at a poker table, but his personality was one of being a shy person.

Really does alter ego signify uncontrollability in gambling,  I thought in a different direction anyway,  because since the term represents a wrong identity in,  if related to gambling then we can say that a situation where a gambler acts in a way and behaves in another particular way.

E.g those who publicly speak against gambling in real life but gamble in online casinos without those around them knowing that they are truly involved in gambling at some point.

Many times we have the terms playing out in a lot of other ways aside from gambling and most times in real life we have several situations that prevent us from acting or seeing people acting that way.

I believe that most of us would really be just like this on which i could say that it would really be just that normal since we are really just that humans on which those reactions and
composure change instantly basing up on the condition or situation that we are really that experiencing into on which you cant really just that make yourself that
maintain up your posture or the way you do behave on the time that you are losing much. No matter on how good you are on controlling yourself but when it comes to the
moment that you would really be losing money then it cant really be that avoided for you not to be able to have those kind of reactions on point.
This is why it would be always best that you do enjoy up yourself despite of those actions.

It's like having an online personality that's different from who you are offline. I know people who act like that in other activities, especially in online gaming. They become crazy competitive, ready to sacrifice everything just to win a match. I know people who do that in sports. They don't feel pain and can endure a lot to show that they're good at something. I also know people who have an alter ego that manifests itself when they get drunk. They become different people, can fight you over nothing, will end friendships and relationships just because you did not want to party anymore and preferred to go home, or because you were looking at his girlfriend.
I don't have a gambling personality and I'm glad I don't.

People who usually hide their true faces and real personalities from the world are the ones who have alter egos. You can't have an alter ego or a hidden personality if you have been you throughout your life and never tried to hide your actual feelings and emotions from the world. Some people are too shy or introverts will generally have such things in them, when they get to experience things they never did and enjoy themselves without any boundaries, that's when you see their real personalities.

As far as I know myself, I don't think I have an alter ego or anything like that because I am myself when I'm doing something, I become childish if I'm enjoying what I've always loved and I make my decisions based on what I feel all the time instead of taking decisions that are or will be liked by the world around me.

i believe that's normal to most gamblers especially those who are playing online as people don't know their attitude when in online. they can totally be the opposite person as they can display their true behaviour online because no one is judging them. i guess, that's one advantage in playing online. you can mind your own business and no one will bother you for what you are.


i am also on this level as well. i am the same person as when i am playing online. maybe, a lot of people around me don't know that i am betting online. but that's it. they don't need to know that, right? am not stingy or generous, just the same as what i am everyday as a regular person.
