Depending on the person earnings may change, someone who is likely to lose will stop after they have a huge loss, winners are likely to continue and possibly earn back some of the lost money. I think it is also based on knowledge for something like sports betting.

I think it is a personality, because it is impossible habit to continue to lose.
but indeed both look the same, winning and losing has become the personality and habits of the gambler.

I'm sure both winning and losing gamblers have different personalities. People who losing on gambling always have unstable emotion than the winning gamblers, because many gamblers can't accept their loss on gambling.
thats not true, on the first bets you might also lose your money so i think there is no one who would be safe against losing on gambling though thats just my ideas

That's correct, losing gamblers mostly get irritated very soon if someone even say a good thing to them because they are always thinking about they loss in gambling, on the other hand, winning gamblers are always in a good and happy mood because they cannot forget what they have won in gambling because of their luck.

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 think the difference in the personality of the gamblers is not depending on them winning or losing, it depends on their own personality to start with which then with lead to winning or losing.
i mean if a person is not thinking realistically and thinks of gambling as way to earn money and get rich he will definitely lose a lot of money and always be a loser.

I think people who are impatient would probably lose lots more then people who can keep level headed and calm.
Impulsive people are bad with high stress situations.

yes winning and losing gamblers have different personalities and habits. some people do gambling in a limited way and in a partitular time when they feel that they can won the game. the forever looser play biting all the time with out any thinking and they loose the money all the time.

Good gamblers make decisions that give them just a slight advantage.
You will always have luck swings up and down, no one can control that.
But a good player will win a little bit more and lose a little bit less than a bad player.
I would say that knowing when to stop, staying off tilt (discipline) would be the difference between a winning and a losing player.

What i think is there can be no good players in gambling, so there is no different losers or different winners.
Today's winner is the loser tomorrow, and today's loser can be the winner tomorrow, that is how gambling is, this is how it works.
You never always win, and you never always lose, but maybe at the moment of winning and losing a slight change comes in the personality of that person.
Yes we can not judge that who is winner and who is looser if it for only one day we can say end of the day he is winner and he is looser but if you think over all it is very difficult to judge. And yes i agree that winning time and loosing time people personality will be change. And one more thing knowing when to quit game is also one of the change b/w them.

Losing gamblers in poker have not put the time into studying the statistics of hands and betting strategies. They also can't accept losses well when they are the favorite to win. Those are 2 huge factors for poker

First, if we observe the personality and characteristics of a large number of people gambling at the following games, will we notice any similarities, or any differences?
Are people with certain characteristics drawn to play some games, and to avoid others, or do we find an equal distribution of personalities among the games?
- Slot Machines
- Scratch Tickets
- Craps
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Dice
- Poker
- Lottery
- (add your own game if I forgot to include it)

You can add 'altcoin trading' in that list.

People who always win or mostly win in gambling are people who have set a limitation to the amount that they are going to bet, and they are easily contented on their winning and take it home even with a small amount, at least it is still so called winning, but with a small amount only.
And gamblers who always lose or most commonly lose are those who sometimes win and bet big, but not contented on their winnings and demanding for a much more prizes by betting again and doubling the amount they had bet, which in total if everything goes wrong none of your money survives so as you are a loser, but that will not happen every time, because sometimes we have a luck and sometimes bring home a big amount, but that is too seldom.

I think you are right about that, these people really has set a limit from when they will stop that is also why they are making profit these days.
I also think that people that losing again and again are acting different due to the fact they stay doing it.

I think the difference between winning and losing gamblers is just luck. This may sound like a stupid statement but as long as you are making the correct decisions and the correct plays then over the long period of time you will have made a profit. People can't control what will happen during the sport event or what the next card will be in a poker game, they assume things based on knowledge about the game and past experience but in the end all that matters is pure luck. Of course veteran players with a lot of bets under their belt could possibly lower the uncontrolled variable of luck in the long run but still gambling is not an exact science and will never be. There will be good runs and bad runs and no one could predict exactly what will happen unless they have a superpower like clairvoyance or something. You could have read all the books about poker in the world but this feat would not always make you a winning player because luck can't be taught or acquired. Yeah pro players can calculate odds and expected value but at the end of the day the luckiest players bring home the bacon

It's all about mindset.
More like perception.Mindset isn't the correct term to define a personality.Well, at least when it comes to poker, the difference between a successful poker player and a losing poker player has everything to do with mindset. Those who think they can succeed will. Those who think they will fail, will succeed at failing.
See,no matter what mindset you have ,your cards and intelligence to an extent decides if you will won or lose.Not every game is a charm,not every lost game is the end of it.In my mind I can assume a lot of things ,what if my bank roll doesn't match the level of my cards.I will have to back out!On the other side,doesn't matter how intellectual you're if your opponent has a royal flush with you being plain shit cards,you simply can't win for obvious reasons.Luck does play a bigger role.The smart decision you can do this time is call it quits.Those with a losing mindset have limiting beliefs that prevent them from putting in the time and work required to improve their game and thus impede their development into becoming a successful poker player. You can see many examples of people with limiting beliefs and the losing mindset here in the gambling section not only regarding poker, but other gambling types as well.
Can you win a 3 card poker match with a person having 3 Aces while you are on double queens ? You just can't! My point is ,your mindset doesn't matter,your cards,opponent and experience defines your capabilities to win the game.You can assume a lot,keep your mind prepared but before great cards and money management techniques,its as useful buying a hat in Somalia to keep off from the sun.

From that list you posted only Poker players could be somewhat different animals than others. If you think about it: in every other game your skill, habits and dedication is insignificant.- Slot Machines
- Scratch Tickets
- Craps
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Dice
- Poker
- Lottery

It doesn't matter how hard you try to win in Dice or Slot machines - there is no one who can title himself great Slot Machine Player or master of Lottery after all.
Pure luck based games are all the same and I don't see any difference they create in gamblers.

Those with a winning mindset will put in the work and time to not only to play the game, but to increase their knowledge of the game and learn the winning strategies - winning strategies that include hand play, discipline, proper bankroll management and tilt control, as well as learning their opponent's habits and what makes them tick.
Those with a losing mindset have limiting beliefs that prevent them from putting in the time and work required to improve their game and thus impede their development into becoming a successful poker player. You can see many examples of people with limiting beliefs and the losing mindset here in the gambling section not only regarding poker, but other gambling types as well.
Confucius said, “The man who says he can, and the man who says he can not are both correct.”
Which one are you?

NOT have any differences in personality, ability or habit but have any differences in lucky chance. Yeah, never give up can make their chances of winning because people want to try and try again, for this the winning chances will increase too. Is it something that we could test people for?
