Topic: Another Two Category Of Gamblers That We Are Not Aware Of - page 3. (Read 480 times)
Between those two categories, i'd probably fall under the action gambler even though I have a bit of similarity with the escape gambler (unemotional) since i'm mostly making small sports bets, but some of the parts about the said category don't apply to me, like wanting to beat the casino. You'll eventually realize that part is impossible, and believing you can do it would only cause unnecessary losses.
Action Gambler
Quote
Action gamblers are usually domineering, controlling, manipulative men with large egos. They see themselves as friendly, sociable, gregarious and generous. Their average IQ is over 120. They are energetic, assertive, persuasive and confident. In spite of all this, they usually have low self-esteem. Historically, they started gambling at an early age, often in their teens, by placing small bets on sporting events or playing cards with friends or relatives. They progress through the four phases of the disorder over a ten to thirty year time span. Action compulsive gamblers gamble primarily at “skill” games such as poker or other card games, horse and dog racing and sports betting. These gamblers dominate both legal and illegal sports betting.
Escape Gamblers
Quote
Escape compulsive gamblers share some of the same characteristics as the Action gambler:
Low self esteem
Become liars
Manipulative
Evolve through four stages: Winning-Losing-Desperation-Hopeless (although the winning stage is quite different for Escape gamblers.)
Compulsive gambling can be arrested through treatment and self-help programs.

- I don't seem to be in those categories, based on my reading of the topic. Because I only gamble for fun, if I'm lucky and see that I can bring home a winning, I'll stop even if my gambling budget hasn't been used up yet.
That's what I do every time I think of gambling in crypto gambling, as long as in a month I only gamble 3 to 4 times in the online casino here in the crypto gambling business.

LOL who would want to classify himself as Escape Gambler?
All the negative traits are already in this character who sounds like a loser and then the Action Gambler also has the characteristic of an egomaniac who would do anything just to grab the money of the Escape Gambler in the casino.
Can I just be an Online gambler who just randomly picks a day to gamble whenever the mood is right?

TThese two categories picture the bad sides of gamblers I always thought that there are two categories of gamblers, the responsible and irresponsible categories, reading these two new categories of gamblers I have a little both of those characteristics, but I'm not fully aware of it I always think that I'm a good gambler although I sometimes feel like manipulative, I guess gambling brings out our bad side that we are not aware of are there.
You were explaining escape gamblers towards getting addicted after they have won, lost, lost more, desperate and hopeless. I see it more as a way of getting into addiction.
I see myself more as an action gambler if you meant dominant legal and illegal sport betting as the gamblers visiting the sites because I prefer to gamble online and privately and I have just little amount of money to gamble. I prefer just legal gambling sites because my country allows gambling for 18+ people.

I was thinking the escape category of gamblers has something to do with those fearful gamblers that will not maximize profits because they are scared staying longer 
Those who want to cut part of the show at a time and exit like those waiting for cashout and only satisfied with cashing out without getting the full potential.

Is it possible to not have a characteristic that’s not specific to just one category? I mean something in between?
Because for me, there are certain habits that I exhibit that does not fall entirely into one category - seems like mid-way between action gambler and Escape gambler so I’d like to know if there’s any other person who feel the same way as I do.

I have seen a lot of members posting different kinds and types of gamblers but I doubt if they already know these two types of gamblers, I have not seen anyone posting these two types of gamblers yet.

Both types of gamblers are not that good in their perspective but it's worth taking note of these kinds of gamblers so we can analyze ourselves if we are behaving any one of these two types of gamblers.
How about you what kind of gamblers are you within these two types of gamblers, you should have a pick if you've been gambling for a long time I'm sure you have some of their characteristics.
