i think there are no differences between winning and losing gamblers because they still playing gambling to make more money, but since the gamblers have different personalities, ability, or habits, so each of gamblers will have different luck in the games and this is affect with the chances they have. maybe if we have one purpose to know what is impact the gamblers have if they are differences in personality, ability, or habits and how they can keep stay focus in gambling games when they are win and loss. but i don't think that if we train the gamblers, they can increase their chances of winning because no matter high skills they have, there are luck inside the gambling games and we should select the games that depend with skills than luck so the gamblers can have a chance to win more money.

If you compared a large number of losing gamblers to the winning gamblers, would you notice any differences in personality, ability, or habits?

Is it something that we could test people for?

Are there things that we could encourage, reward, or train people to do better that would increase their chances of winning?




This is kind of odd question but I guess that the personality ,ability or habits doesn't really have to do with their winning or losing,
Specially if they are playing in some dice game maybe they are just having a bad or good seed so that's the reason why they are losing or winning.

Yes , we have different personalities and thinking on how things happen to us. We have different abilities and skills to use in a type of gambling the only similarities are we are playing to have fun or to earn profits.  Well if we move in some point what mostly happens in a personality is getting addicted in gambling in winning event then in time of losing with greed to earn again what they losses.
It is true and that can be proved if you closely visit a gambling site's chatbox where people are raining all the time and there are guys calling the site a scam.

The guys who are raining or donating money are the immediate winners while the ones who are cursing around are the immediate losers. That is the reason admins usually don't ban them, since they know its just their immediate anger.

Personally, I have no seen any difference between winning and losing gamblers in personalities and habits. I think the main difference is an addicted and non-addicted gambler. Definitely the average of losing and winning is more increase who are playing gambling regularly and about me i am not a regular gambler than definitely my losing and winning is small but i can't guess myself that i have a graceful personality like lucky and winning man or not.

I mean, I guess? It's all random, right? So we have nothing to base but the bet amount. There are people that are extremely calm in every game. Regardless if they are winning or they are losing, they have a solid foundation in the skill of remaining calm. They think that calmness allows them to have better decisions. I do agree with that.

Some people have a habit of going all in after a couple of rounds of losing. We all know that going all in makes you lose all of your money at once. It's a very rare thing to happen when you go all in and then you win in a high multiplier.

I think that every gambler has their own personalities and if someone wanted to imitate their style then they would lose. People usually gamble while covering their emotions and most of their actions in order to have a winning streak but in most cases winning doesn't happen because not all games are based off of tells.

Poker for example is based on tells and the gambler should already know that covering their bluffs would allow them to win.
Sports betting is different, it's based off of what you think, if you become professional at gambling then you could introduce covered bluffs into the match -that would just be called manipulation at that point and it's different when playing against a large mass amount of people compared to 5 to 7 people at a table in Poker.

I could not agree more to this. I think, you just be yourself and find a strategy that suits your personality which aside from getting more winning bets than losing ones, you are also comfortable with that betting strategies. With poker, you need to hide those emotions and make skillful bluffs.

Well it's normal to imitate the habits and styles of successful gamblers as what worked for them may also work for you. If you talk about poker, yeah the key is to hiding your reaction whether you get a good hand or not. I used to think that wearing sunglasses weren't any help but trying it for myself, it can make you a bit more unpredictable because your eyes can unknowingly betray your emotions with its movements and an experienced poker player would easily notice that

It happens more on random. Unless you're talking about games of skill. Don't think it has anything to do with personalities

Winning and losing gamblers I think they have no difference in terms of behavior in gambling habit. Whether they win or loss in the games in the end they will still go back in gambling sites. Because most of them still relying on luck Smiley

- Proper bankroll management
- Finding perfect time to exit on winning/lossing

are few things that should be considered in gambling if you like to secure some winning but without luck all above things doesn't make any sense. Different people may take winning or lossing differently like some may blame their luck some may blame themselves for being greedy but this may not affect on chance of winning.
But I do not see any big influences of these skill for profit making with gambling as beyond these only luck will decide our results.

When luck is the prime deciding factor, I believe there would be no big differences between winner and losers of gambling. Because we are relying on hidden factor for a good result and hence it will not impact on personalities nor habits. I feel time to time winner and losers will come and go.

When a winner turns a loser and loser turns winner, how we can expect different characteristics from them ?

Basically outcomes is dependent on our luck. But I'm quite sure both are same there is no difference in personalities of them. Some people are very dare to take risk with big amount and that is why they making big profit. Because bet amount is depend on our bankroll and how sure we are before stake any amount on it. 
Not really, loosing gamblers will always be short tempered, greedy and less self control while winners in gambling will always have a gentle nature if not pleasing and will always have a control on their greed, cause if they were geedy they would not have won.
Those are the after effects of loosing but what's the difference before they loose or win ?
I think people who strategize their actions and thoughts better win more often while who just believe their luck loose more often. Though whatever we say and think its all about luck and that cannot be changed.
Thats why we called this gambling since we do really need luck and those reactions and behaviors are just purely effect on which can gambling would put in us and having beliefs doesnt really matter at all.If you aare unlucky no matter how hard you try it would be still a lose.

There is nothing called consistent profit in gambling, since it is "gambling". Any winner in gambling has incurred huge losses before winning big, and in most cases they have gone broke even after winning big since the amount they have lost is much bigger than the amount they won. Hence the terms loser and winner becomes relative in this case and both have more or less similar habits and personalities.
Although its true but if you see winners in any dice site or sportsbook then you will see that the ones who loose are most proactive like if they lose a bet they will look for ways to win the next one. While the ones who are winners they just forget about the previous bet and make their next bet, though it is crystal clear that they have the loss in mind too.

Yeah, I have noticed it, but in my thinking, it is not right that winning in gambling is not depend on personalities or habits. Because i think it depend on Luck, many useless personalities can win in gambling, but only when luck cooperate with them.
But it is other thinking when someone say that strategy or skills would be needed in gambling than also it will be matter our personalities or habits.
Yeah and talking about habits I have seen gamblers who loose a lot they still rain away a little often while there are guys who win most of the time yet they never rain or share their winnings.

Not encouraging rains here but actually I am saying that each person is different and even loosing gamblers can be polite and humble while winners may be too kind or too miser in their life. We can not really conduct any survey (as op suggested ) based on these.

Well for me it is not the personality that makes them win,
For me gambling is just pure luck it is just that they are just lucky.

In my view it is really matters the way you bet on sports betting, Their should be some rules to follow to win high. Like first you should fix the daily limit to play daily and in that limit you should split it into different match so that the risk of loss should be divided between matches.  This is the way a smart and good sports betting gambler will be performing and if we also adopt the same way we can also be in good ROI in long term like them
Those all come under strategy while he is asking if winning and loosing gamblers have anything different in their nature, way of working, etc.

As far as I am concerned there is nothing of significant difference between both and even the losers win sometimes, the only thing I can see is on loosing they loose temper while winning gives happiness, that can't be related to their nature though as that's temporary.

I think you have not read the reply properly he is also giving the way of working in gambling because if you are following the bankroll system in any gambling then surely you will very soon lose all your bitcoins and become poor, and even if you are playing without systematic way on loosing you will surely lose temper (like what you said) that time you will go with all in on next bet and it may be that you lose it fully due to bad temper.

who ever is following the bankroll system in gambling on long term will be in good profit and even they wont be affected by bad temper of loss and over come the weekness

the difference is that 'winning' gamblers lose too, but they're sensible to enough to not chase their losses until they're catastrophic. a loser gets caught up in the moment and believes their luck will turn eventually. a non loser realises their luck is done and puts a halt to it.
