Well, from what I've seen of the thread on this interesting topic, everything points to greed. If we handle stress, emotions, even money, the thing that always appears strongly and sometimes enough to break our own rules is greed. That is very difficult to combat, but even so, I notice that the best option for this is discipline and being very clear about what our objectives are in the casino. For me, it is the Acceptance of everything, whether winning or losing, but accepting the casino's designs without losing Control.
Of course discipline is very important infact might be considered most important when it comes to preventing too much losses or addiction but lots of people seem not to have figure out that they are losing themselves into gambling untill it becomes very obvious or overwhelming that people can't afford to keep quiet about it. But what I believe is more important is examine one self every now and then to balance the gambling habits.

Yes, emotions really have a strong attachment to greed and some other aggressive actions such as the difficulty of stopping when you are experiencing defeat in the sense of not being able to accept the situation that you have lost at that time, on the other hand maybe your suggestion is right that greed and emotion can be overcome by discipline but in my opinion the first thing that must be considered and justified first is the understanding of the risks in gambling, meaning you must really understand and realize that gambling is indeed a risky activity in the sense that defeat can never be eliminated in the game and after that enter the discipline stage in my opinion.
Yes, what you say is very valid, each person has their own way of Understanding things, I wish everyone could figure out their way of accepting discipline and how they can reduce the Amount of money to lose in a casino, that is what is sought, but each person has a different personality and Works in a different way, that is why all these considerations are excellent so that other people can Assimilate it and do it that way, but the main idea prevails, which is to have discipline and not lose that focus.
I think it is true somehow gambling reflects our personality, it is just that some of us are good at hiding it, but gambling drives it out or reveal our true personality.
After all just like what OP has mention there are those who are greedy and short tempered, while there are some who are calm and calculative, those who easily accepts their fate either they win or lose, and those who doesn't want to acknowledge it and continues to pursue.

Perhaps it's the people that don't know how to deal with their own personalities. I don't remembered been affected by how much I gamble, probably because I don't gamble much amount or I'm very careful with amount I use to wager that's why I don't get to display the characteristics you are talking about. If I ever get angry about losing a bet, it's probably I was mad because my team didn't win or disappointed me with their outcome but it can't be the gambling.
I know that everyone is going through a lot and we all need that money but I have never for once assume one day I will make good amount of money gambling, it doesn't cross my mind but when it comes, I withdraw it and use it for something I feel it's worth doing in that particular time. This is how gambling should be done and that's how we all should gamble and not feel entitled like we all deserve it, you will get exhausted from pain and be less happy and it's going to be showing on your face.

Some people show their true colors during difficult times. Emotions can lead to knowing who we are, but yes, some people are very good at hiding themselves. However, I don't think it is necessary to do that but rather to show how capable we are of gambling.After all just like what OP has mention there are those who are greedy and short tempered, while there are some who are calm and calculative, those who easily accepts their fate either they win or lose, and those who doesn't want to acknowledge it and continues to pursue.
It is not wrong to show who we are, and I believe it could help us as well. That way, we would know where to adjust ourselves and become more cautious. It is just how we become feasible in making decisions leading to having a responsible gambling approach.
It could help in terms of learning on every sessions that we take, yeah you'll be test in times when things is difficult to decide but each decision we made gave us better understanding either we made a mistake or it's the right approach to take, what matter most is how we take it and reflect things to our actions, it helps to gain more experience that we can use to establish better strategy that will help us to prevent losing a lot to the point of getting addicted.
A wise decision would be to initially assume that a bad outcome with losses will occur and what we will do in such a situation as a player,
Because of this situation, we must always have money available to lose before playing, and this applies to trading, and this would avoid many inconveniences. Also, this thought of victory does not appear frequently, knowing that the most probable thing in a casino game is to lose, from there comes another legacy which is to take the profits that are obtained, even if they are few.
The thought of always getting more money is something that cannot be suppressed, the human being thinks about it, wants it, but it is very difficult to materialize it in a casino, and the player must understand this.
I was just have this thoughts, as we have been saying, to be not addicted to gambling, we should have self-control. But as much as we know this advise or saying, there are still a lot of people falling for gambling and I just thought that it could be their personality. I mean if they have the correct decision making, then no one will fall for being addicted. And then there is also the case of high risk takers vs those people who doesn't like high risk and just play for the normal.
No matter how you we do, there are still people that will fall for gambling and or addiction. The fact remains that no matter how people try to reduce their gambling activities or addiction, it can not be possible for all, everyone can not stop gambling but only few whom are determined and focused to stop. And secondly there is nothing like personality in gambling. When a person is driven by addiction, he doesn't knows his personality anymore. Even a lecturer may even be gambling in the casino hall.How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Gambling does not affect or reflect to my personality in anyway. 
Not sure about the reflection of gamblers to be their attitude also out there because after all, gamblers do not always give up, and gamblers do not always continue to chase losses and they do not continue to bet because of greed. Because after all, the reality is that they also always consider the moment, there are moments when they feel they have a good mood and good instincts, so they can be confident to continue betting. And vice versa, so with their betting style it is difficult to say about their nature or attitude whether it is the same or different from their personality in socializing in society or the surrounding environment.
the first thing that must be considered and justified first is the understanding of the risks in gambling, meaning you must really understand and realize that gambling is indeed a risky activity in the sense that defeat can never be eliminated in the game and after that enter the discipline stage in my opinion.
Yes, it is also very good to think about that first, as well as understand that the player must consider that the casino will always have the Advantage of winning , that is very relative, things will always guarantee to be the best when they are done responsibly , then assuming that gambling is a risky Activity, they must be done or taken into Consideration as Necessary to ensure that decisions should not be Made Lightly with money, as long as one acts like this if there is no Luck , then one must assume the Enormous consequences.

Gambling will reflect our habits, if a player is thrifty in life, then in gambling he will act carefully without big expenses. There is nothing surprising in this, a person's habits will always follow him in any business. And maybe a calculating person will never start gambling, because he will understand that he will not have the opportunity to earn there. So gambling is not a reflection, it is simply a game to which we relate according to our beliefs.

That's a good point, no one will talk about the psychological problems that gamblers face without mentioning Greed.
Yes, and the main problems that arise from greed are many, things must be done to avoid it, when I see it from the healthiest point of view is that greed is also controlled with the money that one is willing to lose, but very few players apply this strategy, many talk about Controlling , self-control, but you have to be realistic, greed, ambition are always present when playing in the casino , it is Difficult to control when you do not have a strategy, however the problem of every player always falls on this.

Making money a gambler need lot of focus and discipline. Those that are not disciplined as gamblers would always have problem with the way they gamble for the money. Skill is important in some games and also it is wise for us to embrace luck by knowing the best time to bet and when not to bet. Gambling is for their that have the boldness to accept their losses even when there is no enough funds to go about making money. Once a gambler is contented with what they have, the amount they are making, the greed will not be always there to make one to think that even being greedy he will not be able to make money from betting. legendary

It is very difficult to control greed as a human being, and I think it is almost impossible. In human life, we face a lot of losses due to greed. And greed is not only bad in gambling. It has a very bad effect on all aspects of our lives.
However, it is difficult to control greed. However, if we follow some rules in gambling, then maybe we can benefit a little. For example, when we go to the casino, we have to set a limit. If we win $ 100, then we will stop gambling that day, or if we lose $ 100, then we will stop gambling that day. Many times we get attracted to gambling in such a way that even if we win, we cannot be happy, and we want to win more. And gradually we lose all our money.
It is already fixed that in gambling you gonna experience both win and loss, so as a responsible gambler you just got to set your Mind for the worse , that you can either win or lose , this where gambling for fun comes in . Because when you doing it for fun you won't have the time to cloud your mind with winning always, rather you will be able to know when to stop and call it a day than be addicted to it just in the name of Trying to win something big.
As we already know the repercussions brought by gambling, it is now on your hands how you will manage your gambling activities. Whether you will go into the brink of addiction or not. Because following your desires would just lead you into the rabbit hole. So before you even start or think that you will gamble, know where you stand on this addictive activity. And decide how you can limit yourself with your games.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Absolutely true, gambling is more than just a game also reveals deep aspects of personality and can even shape your character over time. It’s not just about winning or losing money routine, it’s about how you handle sensitive things in your like uncertainty, risk, control and emotions. Some people are natural risk takers, pushing limits in gambling just as they do in real life, others are more cautious preferring small, calculated risks, which might mirror their real approach to financial or life decisions.
I believe there's the psychological aspect of dealing with loss, when some people can walk away after a big loss, accepting it as part of the experience, others can’t handle defeat and chase losses, which often leads to addiction or worse. This mirrors how people handle setbacks in life, some take failures as lessons and move forward, others may struggle with accepting losses, sometimes making impulsive decisions in an attempt to fix things, without thinking straight about consequences.
Personally, when I was gambling, I saw how it tested my patience, discipline, and emotional control. I also noticed how my competitive nature played a role, sometimes I wanted to win just for the challenge, not even for the money. But over time, I also saw how gambling could change people, in my situation it made me more reckless, emotional, even obsessive. That’s why self awareness is so important in understanding how gambling affects you personally to find a way staying in control.
Is gambling really a mirror of one persons personality? People can fake their emotions, people are cunning and smart, people tend to lie. By gambling a person can only answer to himself if he is a risky person or prefer moderate risk. Since money are involved, truth will always be somewhere near, and people will always be different than they really are.
Yes, but gambling can make someone show who they are when losing control of their emotions. Sometimes we thought that guy was good, as he was always smiling, but when they faced problems, he became a terror. Because for me, a good person remains good at all times despite the troubling situation. But a person who has a bad deed will show who they are when they lose their temper. Our actions tell more about us than our words. It is too hard to pretend that we are happy even if we lose money.
There cases when people lose everything, smile, say goodbye to people behind the table, leave and commit suicide. Impossible to tell with 100% probability how a person is going to act when he is in trouble or in a loss. For example I am a kind of person that keep everything inside. When I lose, hurt or feel bad, I never show that. I can smile, keep talking to other, laugh. But then go home, turn off light, get under blanket and try to hide, because I have high temperature, stomach hurts and I have lost of failed at something important. And gamblers are people who hide behind the mask even more.
