You know whats good about OPs advise to gamblers? His advise is applicable to traders. Seriously if you apply those in your trading strategy, you'll have better chances in gaining profit than losing in trading with the current market condition of trading Altcoins or Bitcoins.
Now, this is another interesting perspective. I never look at it that way but after seeing your post, I went back to his post to calculate how possible it will be to apply it into Bitcoin or Altcoins trading; and it seems interestingly applicable. But I somehow doubt with the number (1). Most people dont trade because they want to trade, they trade because they want to make money. A trader telling you that he wants to trade but not to chase money is indirectly lying. 
Topic: Criteria of a good gambler - page 35. (Read 38009 times)
I will post my criteria of needed skills/things, I have a tipster thread where I apply these skills/things and the results so far are on my side.
Criteria/Skills
1. I like to play only games where skill is a big part of them, like Texas Holdem Poker or Sports Betting because in these games you greatly enhances your chances to win.
2. Before you rush to make a bet, make sure you have studied the bet deeply, i.e you study a soccer game, with news sites, predictions sites, statistics, which of the teams needs a win more, which of the teams do not care even if they lose the game.
3. Compare different tipsters from different tipping websites like bettingexpert in order to have even a better idea what bet to place.
4. Optional--- Subscribing to some paid tipping website.
These criteria/skills can give you an edge before playing and minimising your risk when placing a bet. Keep in mind that in gambling anything can happen, even soccer bets with odd 1.03 can lose , so remember the golden rule, never play more than what you can afford to lose.

Yeah this is right. Basically the point that OP have explained in a single sentence it means that "a well disciplined person could be a good gambler". I think the criteria to success is being disciplined. So, it fits to almost every profession except one thing that has been missing is the luck. In gambling luck plays a vital role, more than anything else. A good gambler must be a lucky one. Gambling and trading are somewhere a bit same in the line of crypto. The only thing I believe is that in gambling you have the choice of time to enter to a casino while in trading you have to wait for the right time not of your choice but a requirement of trading.You know whats good about OPs advise to gamblers?

Agree with everything except the first point. Do you think that chasing profit is a mistake? Profit is what makes people interested in gambling, I mean it's more than just a bonus. Gambling is fun, but not if you lose a streak, you'll need a profit too. So I disagree with the first point, but for the other points, I'm with you.
No! I would rather not say everyone, but if you had said most people, then that would have been fine. By the way, chasing profit is a mistake and will always be a mistake. This is the main reason why a lot of people today have ended up an addict. You think there is anything to gain from gambling except just having some fun and if luck just comes your way, you can cart home with some huge amount of money? A lot of people have missed it with that mindset and that is why I totally agree with the OP. Gambling is not an investment which you are looking for profit, and in fact, the only person looking for profit are the owners, and every gambler is just a piece of the puzzle connected together to make the owners richer. Take it or leave it!
It is a crazy world with the way people attribute profit with gambling these days and I really do wonder where we are headed with this kind of mentality. Until we start seeing people who can only classify gambling as fun and fun alone, we will never stop seeing addicts.
OP is talking about and no serious minded gambler should ever imagine gambling to be a profit making venture. This is not a business, it is a game of chance, so thinking you are in this to make profit is totally absurd and that is why so many people lose a huge amount of money and ended up adding a plus one to the addictive society.
It's rare to find a good gambler, I often hear fraud cases and sell all their valuables to earn money to play gambling again, so many people like that, no gambler who reads guides to be a good gambler, there are also guides for winning steadily in gambling or dice strategies, there are many ways to gamble and win.
That's great for sharing.
That's great for sharing.
Good gambler lol the most basic reason why many people gamble is to make a good amount of money in short time that whole idea removes the good gambler word if someone gambles for fun he's surely a retard weather someone follows the above or not in long run gambling will always bring losses to you
In general, I agree with what you wrote in OP and it is a good informative , and It is wrong to consider gambling as a full job like, few gamblers. Moreover, gambling always causes financial losses, and sometimes even more than profit. In fact, this field is just for fun and many must accept it.
On the other hand, the criteria of a good gambler is who always wins a lot of money through a smart strategy, and accept the loss, even if it is huge. For me, the best advantage of a good gambler is the self-control, especially in difficult situations (After every big profit, or loss).
Otherwise, I see that the problem common to many gamblers is the greed, and unfortunately they cannot even stop playing, and because of gambling they always have a lot of debt.

Gambling is a game of fun but money makes it more interesting. Gamblers should be more responsible because on every action they do, there’s a consequences. A gambler must have all this thing, so they will be broken at the end of the day.
How can you say this is game of fun? People are coming here with low backgrounds. They don’t have much money. With the intentions to get their income increased with gambling, they come for playing and losing all what they have. Yes you can the rich party come for fun and enjoyment but for the normal economic status people, they don’t have any fun or entertainment purposes.I will say this again and again, anyone that does not see gambling as a means they can easily lose all their money than win should not even think of getting close to gambling at all. This is not a job or an investment, it is gambling for heaven sake and it is appalling to see people consider this as a way to make profit.
a good gambler only chase value events and manage his money wisely ,when this is achieved all of the previous ones you mentioned will be achieved too
as long as the gambler is working hard on his games he should be happy and profitable in the long run , but spending the days wagering the dice will only create a huge disappointment at some point
there is no good and bad gambler IMO , there are +EV gamblers and -EV gamblers

I think to label a person as a good or bad gambler depends on the person's criteria. So there will be categories on this stuff. Anyways, OP stated the characteristics where a person can avoid addiction and huge loss if he follows those traits. A guidleline to have when into gambling games
.Good person knows how to control emotions, how to make good decisions, same is for every gambler. Huge losses isn`t something we can control, huge losses just happen in life, gambling everything, how you handle that huge lose depends solely from you, and that how you do it make difference between good and bad. Disappointment is not exclusively for gambling, people meet with that every day. Disappointments come from expectation, psychologists say so.
There are gamblers that enjoy in gambling no matter do they win or lose, and the gamblers that are happy after winning and angry after losing. Gambling is a game of winning and losing, we meet with that everyday, how you handle bot winning or losing will shape your personality, same is with life sometimes you win sometimes you lose, what you do after is what makes you a person as you are today.

They usually have a level of patience and the ability to avoid 'tilt' in moments of loss. They also prefer to choose gambling media where the results are not solely dependent on luck, but also a number of skills. a good gambler never chase profit

there is no good and bad gambler IMO , there are +EV gamblers and -EV gamblers
I disagree with this for me a good gambler is a gambler that doesn't create problem to the surrounding, a bad gambler is the one causing problem to the society, like borrowing money from friends to gamble, doing criminal things to get money and used the money for gamble, this type of gambler is a parasites, that is why I label them "bad gambler"
You can be like that only if you are calm at all times of your playing but how many gamblers can have it all at once? It's pretty rare to see a gambler like that coz we all know most of gamblers always getting by their emotion wether they are winning or lossing. I, as a gambler have the last 3 but the first 3, I always tried but it's not that really easy eventhough i'm winning or lossing.
I agree, it's hard to get all that criteria, sometimes the situation can be out of hand and we can become emotional at the gambling table and lose control, but we need to keep improve ourselves to be a good gambler, so we don't get consumed by greed and become addicted
Agree with everything except the first point. Do you think that chasing profit is a mistake? Profit is what makes people interested in gambling, I mean it's more than just a bonus.

Yes the first point is a very important point, greed is the one that make people suffering from gambling, with greed you can bet bigger and bigger and without you realize you can bet all of your wealth in the gambling, if you think clearly casino is not the place to make profit, if everyone able to make profit, the casino will be closed down, but in reality we see that the owner of casino getting richer and more casino are coming out and don't forget that chasing profit is the first factor that can make you addicted to gambling
Thank you for everyone that already commented, I really enjoyed your piece of mind in this thread

This is quite interesting known to me, it turns out in gambling.. there's called a good gambler. Just be careful guys, because being like that.. it seems that's not easy, because in gambling is very easy to feel addict and finally forgetting to have to understand the situation or control yourself.
Couple of things that should be taken care like Firstly you should gamble for fun and not for money. Second if you are losing too much money or think its not your day just leave that place and do not gamble for couple of days. Do not play to recover your past lost else you will never enjoy the winning form gambling.
