winning and losing in gambling is common thing, so it has become a habit, and there is nothing strange in it. unless someone always loses and never win it is personalities

I don't think that you can test people for this as its not so strait forward. Even very greedy impatient people can be lucky. I would say though that if you have an addictive personality and are I pulsive that you probably shouldn't gamble. Also if you willing to gamble money you can't afford to lose you should stay away. I think these traits would be the most destructive to anyone's gambling expierence offline or online.Also I think ga!being when you drunk or high is a bad idea since you not thinking properly and will most likely rush through things with little though or perhaps gambler wrecklessly your hard earnings. I think some people in offline casinoes like to show off and plash money around too .

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 that gamblers who are losing stays gambling until they win it back or lose all their money,
while gamblers who always win are always go outside to celebrate their winning.

Does someone who buys a scratch ticket every day have a noticeably different personality than someone who works regularly to improve his poker game?
Are there differences between slots players and blackjack players?

Ofcourse there is a difference, Poker is not all luck, there is a part skill involved whereas scratching a card is just hoping to get lucky. Same can be said about BJ players but it is still mostly just chance of catching a card, unless ofcourse you're counting in some way, which is impossible to do online. So yeah, people with different personality play different games.

Both of them have really different habits and personalities. Winning gamblers know how casinos or gambling sites works. They know when to stop from playing while losing gamblers don't know when to stop playing. They only know that they will earn big from it not knowing they already lose more than what they've invest.
I don't think is there any winning or losing gamblers because everyone will be losers at the end of the gambling. In gambling even one or two days one can make some decent money but they won't stop it because they think either they got a trick or lucky so they will continue until they lose every thing. So in gambling only losers and no winner in the long run.

I think gambling is depend on luck and how dare we are to take risk there, but i don't think people have different habits the bankroll can be different that is why some people can't afford to place huge bet with possible chance to win big there.

i was considers that every type of gamblers have same habits and that's an addicted and greedy because for those who has the winner gamblers will never satisfied with his victory and will do more gambling although they are already rich and same goes also with the losing gamblers they always be trying do more gambling to recover their losses even the results will be very bad

the question a bit confused, but I hope my answer related.
although we have a good strategy, but gambling always depend on luck. so losing and winning is a matter of course for me.
but at least the strategy and knowledge, enough to help us to win.

This could be true, because they have a better feeling about gambling because they won of course. And with the losing people its just the opposite they are thinking that gambling is risky and not worth the bet.

I suppose winning gamblers are more self confident. Ready to take a risk. Which can bring them in both camps.
But the same goes for the losers, since it the game depend on luck mostly.

No.
[academic stuff] But Psychologists have noticed that different games appeal to different personalities, and mathematicians know that different games have different % Expected Value (EV). I see evidence that some games reinforce specific personality traits and habits. The self-selection process (appears to me) to result in different personalities having noticeably different financial results when gambling. I realize that it is not always easy to separate cause and effect [/academic stuff]

I think most people with any other addictive habit, eg. smoking / drinking / over eating should think twice about getting into gambling. This might be a bit controversial but they already have a
weakness for some addictive substance and the reason for this, might just be true for gambling too. How many times have people said, " I smoke to cure the boredom " ... is this not true for other
things like gambling too? Do not get me wrong.. I do not say, all chain smokers or alcoholics will turn into gambling addicts... they will just have a bigger tendency because of their other addiction.
Drinking in some gambling operations are actually encouraged with free drinks to get people to spend more money on gambling. { You cannot think straight, if you under the influence }

I do not think so the most that are addicted can do both but they will have the same habits in my opinion.
I think they are just doing the same only luck can help you of course.

I think it doesn't actually makes any difference to the personalities of people by winning or losing in gambling, but it can affect their life somehow and that could make a little difference in personalities, like if someone wins a lot so his lifestyle and personality picks a change, and if someone loses a lot then his lifestyle and personality is also affected by that.
And also it can changes in one's habits of gambling in case he loses, but if he keeps winning then for sure it won't change his habit of gambling.

Winning or losing doesnt change the personality of a person or his/her habit it only changes the mood that currently he/she is having.
March 10, 2016, 06:29:03 AM
I doubt it, the only difference is that some are good at gambling & some are not.
