Of course, winners and losers they have different personalities. There are losing gamblers that cannot accept that they lose and says there are cheaters in the house. There are those hard loser and influence others in a bad way. There are winning gamblers that stay positive throughout the game and share his blessing. Right now if I choose which I belong of the two maybe the loser one.

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?




I am sure that the gambler who wins more is allot nicer that the gambler who loses much because the loser is irritated about all the losses.
It does not really have to be that way but for me it seems logic.

Yes, of course. Gambler who wins always feel happy because their bets are win, in the other hand, people who lose their bets always feel sad and rage. I'm sure it's different when gambler losing and winning.

every person has different set of personalities and habits so the same is for every gambler and every losing or winning gambler too.

but generally i think those who always lose will develop different types of personalities than those gamblers that win more often. and it may not exist in them in the beginning.

Yeah. Winning or losing mostly changes ones mood and your mood represents your personality somehow.
So if you win which mostly develops a jolly mood in you and that would make your personality better in compared to what it would be when you lose, because losing makes your mood off and when your mood is off you cannot bear anything so that would show a bad personality of yours.
Yup, we see a lot of difference b/w in personalities or habits of winning and losing gamblers. If I win my bet, of course, I am very happy that full day and I happily involve our works in that day. Suppose if I lose my bet, That whole day my face looks like very sad, and I am kept on thinking about that loss amount.

I feel you because it happens to me very often. My technique before was when I lost, I simply back off the computer and take a deep breath. I go outside and have some talk with friends and when I come back I play another session. However, this time I am not really much affected to it because I always play emotionless as possible and just play with my pre-planned bets (losing is part of the pre-planned bets)

I think so, sometimes gambling depends on luck, while their personalities or habits may be the same.

If they are long term winners and losers, there must be different personalities or habits between them.

Generally, winners are patient, strategic, clever.

Losers are impatient and get angry easily

Surely that gambling is always depending on the gamblers. No matter what how long you are in the industry as long as you have a bad luck then you are not going to win.

I agree with you that when a gamble loses they usually get mad and they can't accept the fact that they are losing.

So, tendency the are going to keep on gambling and they are going to get the returns of their loses.

Yes of course they have different personalities a good gambler know when to stop the game when winning and know when to stop when losing, while the loser gambler just get furious when he lose and will keep on betting until no more things to bet, in other word, the way of winning and loser gambler controlling emotion is different

That's quite interesting and I think there are probably many things that differ from winning gamblers to losing gamblers. Of course this is only from empirical knowledge and I never read any studies about it, if they were done at all, but I believe winning gamblers should be very organized and methodical, to keep track of their progress and follow strict bankroll management rules, and from the psychological point of view should probably be very disciplined and calm, so they don't let their emotions take the best out of 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. 
really had to predict which ways will it goes but if you have a big heart and trust with your bet you can win big, no difference it is just same gambled that oping for some luck.

Encouraging gamblers or gambling activity is not a good way IMHO as that will only motivate gamblers to gamble more and more, even when they lose.
And almost all gamblers have the same story, that they always lose in the end. So, the difference is that, only 1% (which is also a big number IMO) earn something very big through gambling while 99% of them always lose, and yes, these winners are a lot different in personality and with a completely better lifestyle compared to those who lose.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
I think both are the same. Everyone wants free money and that's why they gamble forgetting that the house always wins in casinos. You may win at once instant and then lose in the next - thats why its gambling. So winners and losers terms are relative here. A winner did lose a million times to become a loser. So there is not much difference in their personalities/habits.

Human personality is affected by a lot of factors. When gambling, one of two things can happen: you can win, which triggers the "need" to gamble more, or lose, which triggers a less intense need to gamble. That's why so many people are addicted to gambling. Habits do change, and the personality becomes driven by gambling and by ideas on how to make money.

All people have differences even not in gambling. It is on how we take things personally. We can't compare it like that because every gambler experience to win and lose and also decide for themselves whether to play again or stop. I think chances of winning can't be higher with training because it is just based on luck. Maybe some uses strategies and techniques but still it won't guarantee you to win on every single game.

as God created every one different from another one, mentally and physically, every one has their own mentality. while gambling one may have some limit for gambling while other may have no strategy of gambling. one may stop gambling after losing to a certain limit while other may continue tell the end. so personality must have effect on winning and losing gambling.

In my own opinion, winners gambler are those whose mindset ahead in an average man. They have few moves to success their plans. There hobbies are wear same clothes and they are not luxurious person. Peace of of mind is only they have when playing games. While on the other thought losers gambler think hard to get rich as much as possible but they dont know lose a lot of money. They are greedy and undisciplined person. They are luxurious person, arrogant and bitter.
