I think in general any activity reflects you? Like how you play it I mean. I am highly aggressive as a player, but controlled. Like I can control myself at the moment but at the heat of moments or during the peak? You'd better be prepared as hell that I'm going to be a mad dog lol. It's like a limiter was released whenever I get aggressive. Pretty similar to how I am with gambling, or any activity for that matter. Usually I'd be pretty much in control but every now and then you'd see me sometimes making crazy bets lol. 
Topic: Gambling as a reflection of our personality - page 11. (Read 2010 times)
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
We carry our personality whatever we do, wherever we go, so it will reflect wherever you go. You can tell a gambler if you're a gambler also; there's a saying birds of the same feather flock together, so you can easily tell if you have a long talk with a person, and those addicted to gambling show obvious signs of addiction, like they are always in need of money and they are secretive about where they go and what they do.
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.
Also the reflection of losers, there are those who readily accept the fate when we lost even big money and then think of just taking a break first or just go walk out and then sleep it over. And then we have individuals who can't accept losing, and so they deposited for more and experience the same defeat.
Competitive spirit as well, I remember on sports personalities in Michael Jordan, yes the GOAT himself. But even outside of basketball, he will always play and bet in golf as been reported before.

I dont see any relevance when it comes to my personality in connection with gambling because this is really just that good for the sake of entertainment and leisure. It would really be normal on having these reactions in regarding about those wins and loses on which it is really that casual to have these things yet winning or losing does give out that kind of impulsive feeling. The main issue for most people on here is that they do forget about on following their limitations on which this will really be causing up for them to mess up their lives because at the time that you will really be having these kind of wrong treatment towards it then it will really be causing up some problems or issues specially with finances. On the time or moment that you do find yourself that cant be able to control your emotion then it will really be resulting on having those excessive spending when it comes to money.Also the reflection of losers, there are those who readily accept the fate when we lost even big money and then think of just taking a break first or just go walk out and then sleep it over.

There are times that it will really be that showing up some behavior of yours when it comes to the time that you are losing money and also on winning moment on which greed could come out on which you do least expect that it will really happen into you.

Gambling has never been, and will never be, and also will never have anything to do with my personality.Also the reflection of losers, there are those who readily accept the fate when we lost even big money and then think of just taking a break first or just go walk out and then sleep it over.

I gamble some times is simply for the fun of it, even though sometimes, its hard to do without setting ones mind on winning some money, and this is also due to the fact that the actual fun in gambling is when you are winning alot, and not when one is losing alot, for no body in their right senses will say or agree that they enjoy losing money.
I actually do not see how gambling can be anyone's personality, I mean, gambling is supposed to be something people do in their leisure time, either as a way to have fun and wild away time, or simply a way to just try their luck at winning some money, there is nothing professional about gambling, even though I know that today, we have some group of people we refer to as professional gamblers, such things ought not to be.

Gambling is a very risky thing and gamblers here lose a lot of money but they go back to it again and again. Because they get pleasure from it and above all they desire to win something big from it. And everyone wants to hide their gambling all the time so it can also be called their personality. Because if gambling wasn't someone's personality, they wouldn't try to hide their gambling. However, gambling should always be used with caution no matter how it is used. 
Everything someone does reflects their personality, like personal and financial decisions. But there are people who are just competitive and others who suffer from anxiety. It's a very fine line between the two universes. There is also a difference between a risk-return analysis and a compulsion. An addict is compulsive, while a competitive person can keep their mind in order and do a risk-return analysis. I think that's basically the difference between them, although both like to experience the thrill of betting/competition.
Good point about anxiety, a person can act according to their beliefs or upbringing, but if it all happens in constant anxiety, then it is not worth any money and especially the time spent. Everyone will act as they think is right and for everyone this right choice will be their own. If I cannot afford to lose a large amount of money in gambling, then I will not do it, I will simply not exceed the permissible amount for gambling and this will be my limit that I will not cross.
In a simple term, gambling on it own is a gaming activity then it players has the decision of selfness control while gambling.
On a contrary, it is a habitual act of it that gets players to be addicted to it and also on the other side of the players to take control of themselves while gambling so they don't get addicted.
On a serious note, my personal lifestyle has a reflection to my gambling style because I am personally always careful so that I don't regret on my engagements and I don't like to cause public alarm/attention that may bring disrespect to me.
So I have always have that habit of self coordination up to my gambling life.
It is good that you can control and self-coordinate, and this helps you in the game. But sometimes it may not help and the player will behave completely differently doing what he cannot do in real life. For example, after an unsuccessful session, just put his entire deposit on one too risky bet and ultimately lose it. I want to say that not always players behave the same way as in life, because some find freedom for their emotions in the game, although this happens much less often.On a contrary, it is a habitual act of it that gets players to be addicted to it and also on the other side of the players to take control of themselves while gambling so they don't get addicted.

Indeed gambling can change ones personality if not being self coordinated.

Unfortunately, self-control is an "expensive" quality in life that cannot be simply born. Yes, we are all different due to genetics and upbringing, but life tests us all with hobbies, temptations and trials. And only after many such tasks do we become either internally strong and resilient, or our psyche can't stand it and we become angry and weak.
Casinos and betting are a very strong test that every person goes through, and unfortunately, sometimes outwardly strong people are too gambling and they fall into the casino trap.

Actually every player is a person because robots can't gamble anymore. I think it is pure personal freedom so whoever has money in his pocket can gamble whenever he wants You can never stop someone from gambling with a hostile worldview. Here everyone plays in different ways like some gambles just to enjoy fun and some people gambles to earn money. Everyone on the gambling board may have different intentions but whatever the outcome is, it must be accepted without question. Personally, i myself bet on gambling for the purpose of making money.
Right, because indirectly in the end our disposition, attitude and personality will ultimately be very influential so I think rather than saying gambling is self-control it would be more appropriate to say that everything we do is influenced by our personality in the end.
When we can't control ourselves well and are always carried away by ambition in gambling, it is clearly influenced by the conditions in which we are in the real world in terms of attitude or maybe not much different from that.
It's just that because our ego is sometimes bigger so that as much as possible we deny or do not admit it so that we don't feel bad about ourselves because it is a natural defensive attitude so that we protect ourselves mentally so that we don't fall too much by not admitting the ugliness that we have and as much as possible we dismiss these thoughts.

I believe gambling doesn't reflect our personality outside of it. For me, as an amateur gambler who plays just for fun, I see it as a way to get rid of boredom without risking too much. I set limits and stop when the fun ends or when I feel that luck is not on my side. As you mentioned, others react differently, like chasing losses or taking big risks (this is what call wisdom) I wouldn’t call this a competitive spirit because responsible gambling isn’t about competition
Well, it’s better to let our personality shine in other areas of life 
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
I guess not, Gambling doesn't reflects anyone's personalities since there are just scenarios that we cannot control especially if we experience addiction.
That's why its been called as a disease since people experiencing it committing those mistakes in life that they didn't done before.
But there's a chance to correct everything if addiction will be handled well. People affected on this need proper support so that realization comes up with them then backed with good medication can turn back everything in their life to normal again.

I disagree that gambling is a reflection of our personality. I might be a calm grey church mouse, but a aggressive gambler that plays all-in only. And how come gambling reflect something, when many gamblers prefer to hide behind black glasses? 
Kids are reflection of our personality. By any large it does not matter how you raise them and what you tell them, as they will grow up similar to you anyway. Educate yourself, and kids will be your mirror reflection.

I think it depends on the character of the people, some people are simply unable to stop because they cannot accept defeat. The reason is that they do not know how to lose, are not ready to admit that they are not able to beat the casino and are ready to continue, perhaps thereby only increasing the overall loss, which could have been avoided if they could stop earlier.
There are those who manage to win back, or at least part of it, then they have hope that this time everything will be different and they will be able to win, because they have become more experienced players. This is all part of the game, and if the player continues to do this, then he simply likes it, someone competes with the casino, and someone with himself.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
It could be true, because those who do not like risks will only gamble normally, meaning they will play when they have money and whatever the result, they can stop, but those who like risks will find it quite difficult to stop and will always want to increase the amount of bets to get more even though they are using money that exceeds their limit.
I would say that we reflect our lives in gambling. Even if we are modest in life, or rather pretend to be, but in our souls something completely different is going on, but we keep ourselves under control. Then when we come to gambling, nothing holds us back and we show our true face. That is why modest people can make wild bets. It seems to me that when I was withdrawn, then in gambling I found something that I could do whatever I wanted, I don’t know if this affected my future life, but now I have become very open in life, but I place bets on the contrary modestly and do not allow myself any antics and I am very happy about it. In short, everything turns out the other way around for me, lol.
Yes, most likely it would be the case for some of us here. Nevertheless, we really don't need to complicate things as we all know that life itself is like a gambling to most of us. I mean there could be people who get lucky, got a decent job got a good paying job. Or there are people who gamble life being a entreprenuer?
How many times that we heard about it? Like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs early on when they don't have money or at least started borrowing money on friends and gamble on their project that become successful? So that's it, life is really gambling and it could reflect our personality, on how resilient we are and how we are going to bet on something that will chance our lives for the better.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Our action is a reflection of who we are. If you are the risk taker as a person then you would naturally see yourself going the extra mine in your gambling journey too and a fearful person always get scared to risk even in the face of winning games.
They say a fearful person does not get rich and truly, most people who have won big in gambling are those who are not fearful, those who take risk. So it is about who we are, those that are more reserve do their gambling in a reserve manner and they believe it is gradual for them to get to their big win but an aggressive personality believes he needs to be fast about it and takes heavier risk.
