Topic: Gambling as a reflection of our personality - page 12. (Read 2010 times)
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 It seems to me that when I was withdrawn, then in gambling I found something that I could do whatever I wanted, I don’t know if this affected my future life, but now I have become very open in life,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.
We are the ones to control ourselves on everything we do and not allowing our activities to control or take over our mindset. Gambling personality is on gambling and personality outside gambling is also a different thing because if I am gambling for fun and do it once in a while, I don't see how that will affect my personality when I am not gambling. What I know is that, it is your personality outside gambling in real life that can affect your gambling personality.

There have been arguments within the psychiatric and psychological field about the existence of addictive personality. There is a claim that people with this personality are too weak to resist any form of addiction they are exposed to. I don't know if this is accurate but I have come across people who are easily hooked up to some activities. They tend to always go to the extreme when they are introduced to an activity.
I have long believed that certain types of personalities tend to one type of addictions more than others, as in drugs, people who normally tend to be bored tend to end up more hooked on stimulants such as caffeine or cocaine, while people who are nervous tend to the opposite, looking for more soothing drugs. But gambling, I would say, can affect any personality type.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?

But I think we can always control ourselves regardless of our personality. Claiming that your personality is the reason why you cannot control ourselves shouldn't be an excuse to chase losses and gamble more than you can afford to lose. There should always be a limit to everything we engage in because there is no excuse for failure.

I actually have a friend who’s addicted to gambling, yet he’s still doing well and has no financial problems. Meaning, despite his addiction, he is able to manage to keep his mindset firm. I know this is a rare situation because, for most people, gambling addiction does a serious impact on their finances.
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.
Why the mention of golf? Haha is it because of how ‘calm’ and ‘relaxed’ golf seems to be compared to basketball that is full of adrenaline and intensity? But I know a lot of intense athletes go play golf as well. We can’t be intense all the time. We can’t be on full throttle we also need to go on breaks and calm down. We need balance in our life.Quote

Definitely. How one person manages to control their gambling habits is a reflection of who they are outside of gambling. If someone is greedy or selfish, this would bleed into gambling and he might lose. If someone is more collected and not easily swayed by emotions, he might be able to bring home some winnings. 
Our characters is who we truly are and it manifests in the personality that we portray outside, so it's true that our gambling habits are reflections of our personalities. Somebody who is disciplined will naturally have self control when they're gambling, they'll be responsible gamblers and will hardly become addicted to gambling. On the other hand if a gambler is not a disciplined person naturally, it'll be easier for the person to become addicted because they lack sell control. We should know that people can make a decision to change their personalities, it just requires discipline to change into what you want, so a gambler can choose to become disciplined and gamble responsibly, he just needs to work on it.
Yes, I think so. It's not like we are making bad and good decisions just because we bumped into gambling, we have been doing that in our life for a long time which is why I think gambling can reflect the true nature of a person.
Easily irritated. That's me. When I lose just $10 in slots, I can easily get irritated and whisper words like "unfair" "robbery" or curse the game because of its hunger for my money as it eats away everything I have.
Well, that's me even when I was young, I could get annoyed with simple things and I can say it comes out when I gamble even though I managed to control that emotion for a long time, or ever since I got kids.

It reflects what you have—knowing that it's how you react when losing and your risk appetite. A reserved person or someone with a reason wouldn't risk a lot of money, and a methodical gambler might gamble less impulsively. It still depends, but it could be an indicator.
I believe that every person enters gambling differently, but in this case, some people gamble to make money and some people gamble for fun. Those who enter gambling mainly to make money are the ones who lose and start gambling again and again after losing money. And later, after losing, they surrender at the last moment empty-handed, but this basically indicates a sign of addiction that hits the gambler very seriously in the end.
So those who only gamble for fun are the ones who wait for big wins in the end, those who mainly lose more are the ones who mainly make more efforts to recover money. So those of us who are still involved in gambling should definitely follow this kind of thinking and gamble so that we can refrain from addiction.

As an undergraduate I was taught that there are different personality traits. And these personality traits influence our behavior both covert and overture behavior. Gambling activities is all about behavior and in one aspect that personality traits in fluency are gambling behavior is in our gambling strategy. a person who is highly extraverted and high on openness to experience who would most take more risks in gambling. They will go outside the normal - betting with more they know they cannot afford to lose just to see if luck is on their side. This is one example of many.

I don't really pay attention to the influence of my personality on my gambling activities. It may be true that gamblers who have a patient and careful personality in their lives will influence the gambler in making decisions in their bets. Because the nature of the gambler's personality itself is brought to his gambling. But can gambling activities also affect or change the gambler's personality? It may be possible and felt by novice gamblers from the changes that occur, but not too significant. Except for the bad impact of gambling addiction.

maybe by personality it might be the way the individual look at gambling and the reason why he gambles. i feel what plays the greater role in gambling addiction is the main reason why the gambler gambles and not entirely his personality. if you are gambling for the right reason of having fun, you would never make use of an amount you cant afford to lose and will also not gamble too often to the point where you end up becoming wrecked due to your gambling lifestyle.the point where your personality can also become an issue is when you are someone that is not a meticulous spender and then uses that kind of lifestyle in gambling, its going to be that the likelihood of getting addicted will happen too fast because you already have a financial problem you are facing even before you started gambling.
As much as I do not want to believed it, but looking at my gambling habits before, I think this could have some value as far as discussion goes. Because there could be gamblers that are not convinced, but on the other hand it could be true as well.
Just like when we don't want to gamble anymore, we could be just our personality is saying that we are not that risk taker. As there could be gamblers who are going all-in and YOLO and that's what they are also in real life. It might have a bad results for them as their decision is wrong, but that's how they are build, I guess.

Of course, the attitude towards gambling, as well as the manner of playing, is a reflection of the characteristic features of a person's personality. I will not say that these aspects are completely individual, rather there are some types, for example, gambling, calm, etc. At the same time, I believe that such a pernicious disease as gambling addiction is determined precisely by the personality of the player, that is, the predisposition to gambling addiction is inherent at the level of genetics. Such people should either not play at all, or they should be taken care of by someone when gambling...
I always thought that gamblers were those people who at some point began to experience satisfaction from victories, which gave them a dose of dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Such feelings can happen to such people anywhere with a competitive spirit, and the place where some activity allows them to become a leader, a winner for some time, will become a favorite. In this case, a casino. The amount of loss is not necessary here; regular participation is important, and the desire to repeat the emotions. If you distract such people from gambling and interest them in something else, where they can self-actualize, then they will probably be able to enjoy it there too.
However, for people who expect to get rich by gambling, I cannot call them a person with the character of a winner. Any normal person should understand that this can happen to individuals, and it is always better to control your emotions and achieve success through your efforts, without hoping for a miracle.

Gambling is not affect my personality because gambling is just another activity that I do in my spare time. Besides that, by playing gambling occasionally will not affect to my personality because I am trying to limits my time and money when gambling. I know that playing gambling too much can gives me more problems and that could affect to myself and all things inside me. If people can treat gambling with right, nothing will change from them and they can enjoy gambling as an entertainment. They will not have intention to use gambling as a source of income or other things because gambling is just a way to have fun.
I would say it's not about gambling, it's about money. Hence many people always say money reveal your character, money make someone to be evil, etc etc.
Gambling requires money, as we know money is the most important thing now, no one want to lose it. Most people before gambling are want to make money, so if they lose, they will frustrated and high likely show their true character.
However this depend on how much your asset, how much you earn and how much you gamble. If you earn $100K/month and only gamble $1K, it will not gonna hurt you even you lose it all.

I think that personality has something to do with it but more so I think that it just points out some of your character traits such as being susceptible to addiction and maybe FOMO even as well. Ultimately its a bad habit, lets just call a spade a spade. It is especially a bad habit if you keep losing and shoveling money like its all you do that's not good.
Many years ago, one could easily say that I was a very gambling person who did nothing but play non-stop day and night. For what reason? It's all banal. I wanted not only to win big money, but also to win back the money I had already lost. All this did not stop me for a very long time. As a result, I lost the trust of not only my friends, but also my relatives who lent me money, and I was unable to return it in time. It also did not go without a loan, which I also lost. Yes, that's the path I took. I was completely immersed in this activity. I did not notice anything around me and only the world of slots made me happy.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.Gambling is emotional and that's why it is bringing the best and the worst of us. The best when we win such money and the worst when we're having a bad day.
So, it truly reflects who we are and how we are in those situations that we are not expecting to come. The personality that we have and the way we deal with good and bad situations.
