Topic: Gambling as a reflection of our personality - page 15. (Read 2861 times)
Gambling addiction can indeed be a reflection of ones personality and my reason for saying this is because addiction only comes as a result of having a weak mind and lacking discipline. This is a sign that you haven't worked on yourself enough, because if you have you wouldn't be addicted to anything. Everything we do should be done moderately, excessive input of everything can yield negative results. People can easily know and judge your personality based on your lifestyle and habits. Improve the quality of your life, unaddicting yourself from this terrible habit is possible.
yes I agree with the op, our personality shows how we gamble, because if many people can fight their personality, of course not many will be trapped in gambling addiction
Gambling is basically a representation of a person's personality, especially how a gambler controls himself when he faces a loss in gambling is the biggest representation of his personality. There are some gamblers who can't control themselves when they lose gambling bets and in this case their personality carries negative issues. He loses control and starts betting again and again to recover the loss of the previous bet. There are some gamblers who lose their bets but have enough self-control. In this case, gambling represents their positive personality.
Yes that may be true, but in my opinion for the problem of addiction or one of the biggest triggers that makes someone addicted is because from the beginning they have misunderstood in responding and responding to what and how gambling actually is, most likely they do not understand the concept of winning and losing in gambling, maybe that's because from the beginning the reason they came to gambling was because they were too obsessed with winning and thinking that "maybe gambling can be used as an intermediary to overcome financial problems".
So in my opinion it is more about their mistake in responding to what and how gambling actually is and the concept of winning and losing in gambling, but yes of course I also agree that personality can influence but usually for personality problems it can influence them to be more difficult or easier to avoid addiction, as you said that maybe I would also say that someone who has a personality that is easily provoked or easily emotional when things don't go according to plan then it will definitely make them more aggressive in treating their gambling, but isn't the inability to accept defeat or high obsession with winning initially triggered by a misunderstanding of what and how gambling actually is?

How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
100%. I have noticed that experienced players have similar character traits: calmness and endurance. These are not inveterate players who cannot sleep at night and spend everything on gambling, but rather, they are cool and self-confident people who are doing well financially and have self-control. I have noticed that after about six months or maybe a little more of being into gambling, the pace has become much slower and the games have become much more measured. The excitement passes and only healthy interest appears.

Your attitude towards gambling and the way you gamble will certainly reflect some of your personality traits. As you know, not all your personality traits are good or will lead you the right way in all things. For instance, it will be good to possess the tenacity to pursue your dreams with aggression, but exuding the same energy to gambling will not lead to a good outcome. This is why you must watch it and know where to draw the line, not to try to prove that by gambling you possess or are practicing some positive attributes, even when it is a fact that gamblers possess some positive attributes worth emulating. With gambling, it requires another approach to make it work for you. If you are a risk taker in real life, don’t do it with gambling. Taking bigger risk means prolonging your chances of losing your money, it’s better to just play safe and play it minimally so you won’t become aggressive and develop too much greed in gambling.
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.

Losing self control it's not a personality check of an individual, it can happen to anyone and anyone who enters into the Gambling space with the mindset of being responsible but a rough days could change things upside down and if they do these things on that day then it will lead to destruction.
Someone who consider themselves as extremely caution with their gambling activities might slide with just one more bet and that's lead to chasing the loss and stress when they loss it and combination of all things causes emotional breakdown. Some might recover and others just fall into the psychological trap.

Fortunately, gambling is just entertainment for me, that's why I bet little money and don't have high expectations. When I lose, I accept the defeat and move on with my life. Also, when I place a bet, I don't think about it in the real world. I always separate things very well. It's time to place a bet and then forget about it and focus on things in the real world. I also take a gambling vacation. 1 to 2 months without playing and I always place bets on only 4 leagues and 1 to a maximum of 5 games per week. I believe that we should not see gambling as the only source of entertainment.
Even while we take gambling as a fun and engage in it, we must not over do it, there should be a limit and it should not be our only source of entertainment, there should be other things we do to have fun, gambling should be once in a while thing, like myself, I can spent several months without ever placing a single bet if I really do not want to gamble, and there are weeks I can gamble every day, all depends on what I decide to do or not do, this shows that I am in charge of my Activities and nothing else.

That'll determine your true identity particular to decision making and attitude will relatively reflect once you're at the midst of pressure in a game. You'll be easily recognized on how tough you are with how you can handle crucial situations, particular to different scenarios that could affect your entire betting strategies. Through there's no 100% with gambling, at least your efforts will be very much appreciated once you'll hit your targets.

How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
I think so. I am rather a person who seeks to control the degree and amount of risk I am subjected to and barely go for all-or-nothing types of games. Because of that I would rather to play casino games like Plinko or dices, in which I have the liberty to vary the amount of risk I would like to face. In contrast, I avoid to spend much of my gambling budget in Aviator/Crash games, because there is no a factible way for me to play "safer" in the short term and calculate my possibilities of pocking some dollars in the short term with little exposure to risk.
To me, Crash is most of the most adrenaline inducing games one could find on a casino and it is only to be played if one has a very big pocket and can tolerate sudden variations of their bankroll, otherwise, it is better to stay away from such a game.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Yeah. I totally agree on your explanation on how our gambling experience reflects our outside personality. In my case, I’m a very cautious man when it comes to my finances that’s why I only do calculated gambling or else I will skip. The only time I’m willing to risk is when the potential gain is huge due to odds while the downside is minimal.
I think this is true to everyone, You will never show your gambling side personality if that’s not the real you. It just reflects on what’s your reaction in the presence of risk.
So I definitely agree on this topic.
I was just have this thoughts, as we have been saying, to be not addicted to gambling, we should have self-control.

We are all addicts, some control it better than others.
If you have been gambling regularly for years, you must have had a lot of big losses and wins. Experienced gamblers who have been around for years are aware of how volatile everything is at any given moment. So if we lost, we lost, that's it... there's not much to stress about, we were more than aware that it could happen.
Of course, we slip up sometimes (I certainly do) and spend more than we planned, but it's always within certain limits and we don't suffer much damage because of it. Don't spend more than you can afford to lose... once we enter the casino anything can happen, including losing everything we had in that moment.
Everything is a gamble to me. Everyone fights (gambles) in their own way, we all have a desire for more... if you invest/do something (with/your body/soul/mind/energy/time/money...) to get something you are gambling, and maybe you will win or maybe not. Definitly you will never know until you risk it and try it (place a bet). If we have enough information about something we can easily draw the chances for any possible outcome. Life is one big gamble, and sometimes we are lucky & win and sometimes not...
Your gambling behavior may reflect some of your personal personality, however there are also those factors coming from the environment, culture, or financial situation that will influence you to gamble. If you are a luck believer and would always anticipate getting rich quick, then you might be gambling instead of building a business or investment.
Above all, being a gambler is certainly a risk taker. If you are inclined to take risk in gambling, then most likely getting into gambling addiction would be possible if you let gambling control your mental and emotional state.

Personally, I dont have an addictive mentality or personality other than being addicted to BTC
so yes I agree with this.
I think much of the gambling addiction problems are probably rooted in people who do have an addictive
nature. People who could get addicted to many things and take that to the extreme or to self destruction.
I was just have this thoughts, as we have been saying, to be not addicted to gambling, we should have self-control.

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.
I gamble for fun, fun in the winning but I dont win all the time and by not winning I dont turn
my back on it and never come back to it. I allocate a certain amount per week to gamble,
if I lose thats it, I dont go chasing losses been there already
I think you gambling is a reflection of your personality, mentality because you are not addicted
doesnt mean your personality has no role. just my 2 satoshi's

I think that our environment also shows in our gambling. If you grew up in an environment and with peers that sees gambling as nothing and they are in an online casino every other hour or in a sports shop betting on a sports game, every other day without restriction or caution from an adult then it will show when they gamble. They will have no restriction on the hours spent, amount wasted on gambling.Because gambling thrives in their environment and every other person gambles without restriction, they will grow up to be either gambling addicts, gambling pros, or a failed gambler who is now into the business of gambling to make money from other gamblers.

We all deal with the agony of losing in different ways although our personality trait can also influence how we all choose to react but basically it a lot to do with our understanding of gambling than just about our personality.If you have an understanding of the inherent harmful that could be for you to give an aggressive reaction about your gambling loss by having to chase the losses, you'll rather chose to take a break from gambling at that spot than chasing...
This understanding I speak of goes beyond knowing about the harms but it's embedded in the actions of the gambler. It's your actions that will ascertain your understanding or not. Take smokers for instance, despite reading on the pack as boldly written, "smokers are liable to die young", yet not so many understands it to stop smoking to show an understanding of the message.
Gambling is a practice act and it is not an inbuilt activity so it is not one's personality. One personality is an inbuilt instinct. And you know why people are still falling for it, it is because there is no other works.or jobs for them to do to bring money to the family or to help themselves in the society. And even though they are not winning regularly in gambling they win once a while and the hope of winning big one day making them to gamble without stop. And those who are continuously depositing to gamble is chasing their losses and they normally hit big when they have luck. I don't think there is any competition in gambling but why people deposit huge amounts to play gamble is because of the odd to win big. Gambling reflect your personality if you're an addicted gambler and not those parochial gamblers.

In my understanding, a person's personality in carrying out gambling activities has different types, in fact there are many factors that can influence their personality in gambling, whether it's their thinking patterns, emotions, environmental elements, attitudes and many other factors that make every individual trapped in the world of gambling.What is certain is that each of us has our own personality views. When we experience defeat or victory in the gambling arena, gambling losses reflect emotional thought patterns and behavior because they are driven by emotional thoughts, so they will be haunted by the mindset of wanting to get their money back, so they will forget that their emotional self will destroy themselves even more when they repeat betting, because they don't gamble under normal circumstances, that's what makes someone always act careless in anything, including gambling.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Gambling doesn't affect my personal life decisions or that of my personality as I know that gambling is just a kind of game to catch cruise and have fun, and anything less than this doesn't directly or indirectly affect my way about and my overall performance in life and activities ecologically.I gamble to have fun and I don't gamble to raise money and seeing it as means of creating additional income for myself than just the purpose of gaming and sparing more of my free time to it and whenever, I am busy then I don't think about it especially when I have domestic activities to handle and couples with my children I wouldn't placed my priority over gaming while there are much importance to me to tackle and handle than just gambling.
I think gambling is the product of the dream to make money and the human nature to become over confident of their luck. There are people who gamble and become addicts while others who don't.
So I don't think it reflects personality but the mental illness angle might be there pending more studies by researchers.
Overall it is an addiction but it can be controlled.
