God created every person with different personalities. No one is same as other so expect a different habit or belief like after loosing a game one may bet higher because he follows a certain strategy like the martingale or one will stop as soon as he made a loosing streak.

Even though people have different personalities, the reaction will be more or less the same. No matter who you are, losing a lot of money will probably make you moody and grumpy. That's why it's important to gamble responsibly, as an addiction could hurt many others around you.

What you said is true, on loss all of them have same reaction, but who are calm and knowledge able person will play again calmly and their mood wont affect , that person only will recover his loss. This is the personality of a good gambler to be calm in any situation.

Another worthless post. Assuming for a minute, that the gamblers who win have different personality traits ,would following or replicating those traits will change your luck automatically ? You can't shove a flower up your ass and call it a vase.Similarly ,imitating the other gamblers won't have any effects on your chances of winning.The only thing they have in common is brains,some use it effectively others don't.

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 don't think that it is the losing or winning that make the personality but it is the other way around. which means the personality is leading to a losing or winning end result.
for example someone who is greedy, or a gambling addict is mostly losing because of how he performs like betting without thinking about the consequences or not stopping when he is ahead.

guess who's back

I think yes , loser gamblers who tend to gamble on -EV games usually tend to be moody and greedy
but gamblers who do this for living or the +EV gamblers usually have a normal life if they organize their time well
for example in Leatherass book , his wife mentioned that she couldn't know anymore if he is having a winning session or a losing one cause he knows the game well , so his personality and habits are kinda normal

in general all should be good unless the person is addicted , being addicted to anything will change both of your personality and habits

The question confuses me.
Most gambling games you will see how there are -EV and players have no control over it.

If you're talking about games like poker, yes, there's a big difference between a winning and a losing player in the long run.
It takes a lot of dedication, discipline and understanding to be a wining poker player, and most people give up before reaching that.

That sounds correct to me.

So it appears to be influenced by personality or habits.

I believe so it depends upon the person winning and loosing will not show that they are different from each other and should I say that only happen because on the other round of the game they can switch theirs personalities when the dice roll. Habits would particular when they play smart on each of their game will make them differ from each other..

I think a majority of it comes down to what kind of games the person likes. Someone who is more interested in instant gratification would likely play the lottery, scratch tickets, and other similar games, while a more strategy-minded or frugal gambler would likely go for games with the minimal amount of chance to them, such as sports gambling, poker, or, in some cases, blackjack.

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?

Slot Machines
Scratch Tickets
Craps
Roulette
Blackjack
Dice
Poker
Lottery
(add your own game if I forgot to include it)

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?

Odd question BUT it f you have a compulsive personality, hate losing, and love money then you shouldn't gamble.

Degenerate personality and no amount of encouragement or reward or training will change that.
