It will really reflect what kind of gambler we are once we play in a casino, whether it is an online or land-based casino we enter. And whatever our reason is for playing gambling,
this is one of the things that can reflect who we are as a gambler.
When we experience winning most often and we don't stop right away, it can also show that we are becoming greedy without knowing it, as long as all we have in mind is that maybe the next time we bet we can make up for it.
Topic: Gambling as a reflection of our personality - page 9. (Read 2010 times)
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.
How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
How about me, Do I think this reflects my personality hmm this is a hard question, tho same as you said before that usually I tell other to not addicted to gambling and tell them to control their emotion their budget and etc. But the fact is It just didnt work for me. How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Advice that I tell to other people didnt work for me I know sometimes it does work but sometimes I just blind follow my emotion so what do u think ?
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.

Exactly, gambling sure have a way of revealing one's personality most times, you might be hiding some of this traits but once you're addicted to gambling you'll see all of it reflecting. Mostly this happens when a gambler has really lost a huge sum to it and it's always thinking of chasing over them, and I don't know if it does but what I know is I'm a responsible gambler and at such such personality are sure rare to be seen in me.
OP:://::
I don't know how you want to interpret it, but it's confusing when you mention MJ, his game in the NBA is not a reflection of how he bets, he's a compulsive gambler, I'm not saying it, it's documented... even his ex has mentioned him as a compulsive gambler, what happens is that he has an infinite bankroll.
On the other hand, that aspect is relative, look, there's a player called Isuldur, everyone who has met him says he's a very calm guy, even quiet, but his game is very aggressive, he's always betting and taking big risks... you get the point.
One thing has nothing to do with the other, at least not in the norma.
I think that gambling can reflect certain aspects of a person's character, but not their entire character. This is because gambling behavior is complex and influenced by multiple factors, making it difficult to completely attribute it to one's character
-snip-
People who look good and look very obedient to their religion will not reflect anything, because a person's character is indeed unpredictable. -snip-
Sometimes the characters used on a daily basis are very good, but then when they are in gambling their original characters will appear.
People have multiple personalities, so they can't guess whether they're really addicts or just playing for fun.
Those who become addicts make gambling too much as a place to make money,
even though it is more difficult to make money and the psychology of gamblers is really played by casinos.

I have always been that guy who doesn't joke with his rules; I don't like compromising, even in terms of financial decisions. It is hard for me to go against the budget, and this has been the way I follow up with gambling.Even if I gamble up to the extent that I lose all that I have deposited, my emotions want to lead me to do extra deposits. My self-control doesn't allow me to break that rule, which has been keeping me checked. Personality actually does have a role to play in determining how someone gets addicted to gambling.
Gambling is definitely a reflection of our personality because we generally approach gambling the same way we approach issues of life. Anyone very anxious to make money will show this in his gambling and anyone who is patient will also display some level of patience in his gambling. The moment our minds are fixed on the money, I mean being overly conscious of money, then you will see the gambler taking unnecessary risk without precaution. I have this believe that the moment a gambler addresses his personality, approach to issues of life and mindset, then the gambling life will just follow automatically.
That's not true. Gambling isn't the reflection of our personality. Everyone feels happy if they were able to make a good sum of money through some means. Whether it be gambling or some profession. When they don't have any other go, they land into gambling, and that doesn't mean the person is looking for easy money. Overly conscious about money is not real. The majority just have the mentality to have their life uplifted. Maybe we can also have a little sophistication and better financial growth, which is a common expectation of humans. When they don't have any other go, the mind looks upon maybe we can get this through gambling. That's it, and there is nothing to connect gambling along with one's personality.

The reflection of our personality with ho we are gambling can both be compared together, since this is going to affect each other at the end of every experience we may be having with them together, a person who has a good moral personalities and can gamble responsibly , this is not because he wanted to do so, but this is happening as a result of the kind of his own personality, which is also reflecting on the way he is gambling.

We do say that everyone doesn't have the same character, attitude or morals towards life and the kind of attitude that one has will also have effect on their decision making and gambling has to do with making decisions so it's totally correct to say that while a person gambles they can reflect their personality. Some people seems to have a very high greedy attitude and even when it comes to gambling they allow that attitude to take the most part of them which will of cause lead to addiction or huge losses.
I was just have this thoughts, as we have been saying, to be not addicted to gambling, we should have self-control.

What you should know is that addiction don't come naturally, it is a frequent practice of gambling that leads to addiction and as soon as it reaches that level of addiction, self-control becomes difficult because even when you feel like controlling your attention for gambling, you will still end up falling to it since it's something that is developed gradually till it becomes a habit. No matter how disciplined someone is, when they fall into addiction it is always hard to maintain same level of discipline because you will now believe in making several attempts in order to achieve your target which if you quit at that point, it will look as if you are a failure and for you not to see yourself as a failure you will surely continue trying if you can succeed. Whether high or low risks takers, anyone can fall for addiction depending on how you build your mind and how much time you spend in gambling. 
I don’t see how gambling would affect my personality outside of gambling itself and I don’t really think you made a convincing argument that it does. I could maybe see how a certainly personality type would be attracted to gambling over a different personality type, but I don’t see how gambling could influence that personality type.
Yeah, you are Og because when I gamble how would the next person knows that I am gambling if not for locally based casinos where it would be that open for people to start observing that a personality or a dignity and respectful person is gambling to affect their life [gambling is not a bad thing if properly controlled]. If someone gamble online I don't think anyone would know that such dignity is gambling. Btw I don't really see this topic to be that convincible to me.
It's very interesting question and response as well, I'm seeing that majority says Yes, that gambling reflects our personality, and on the other hand, there are gamblers who says otherwise. And it could mean that it's really a fascinating subject.
Personally, I think it really a reflection of our personality. On the way how we bet or how much we risk and maybe what kind of games we choose. Maybe we go on sports betting to minimized the risk as we can use our experience on that game specially being a fan, so it's could be a better outcome for us. And it could mean that personality shows better judgement or we are that person who thinks many times before making our decisions.

No, I don't think that gambling reflections ones personality outside of gambling itself, the reason is that when someone gambles, then his/her sense of greed increases and that's the reason why someone gets addicted to it. It's ones emotions that get triggered during gambling and not having control over ones emotions always leads to addictions and losses. How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?
Could be. Let's say if a person has a huge appetite for high risk huge return in every situation in general, then I guess he'll also be like that in terms of gambling. As we all know, business men are one of the biggest risk appetite in all. If you notice how well they can handle their finances in gambling, you' definitely learn about it. I mean not all businessmen are good gamblers, but most of them are.
Those who are greedy and are aiming for the wrong goal in gambling might stay poor as they are outside gambling.

Gambling addiction can happen to anyone irrespective of their social or educational status. You may encounter a banker, a lawyer, a teacher, a priest, a traditionalist, etc who struggles with a gambling addiction. No one is truly exempt from becoming a gambling addict if they do not approach it responsibly, treating it as fun in their leisure time with limited amounts to gamble with

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?
