If you compared a large number of losing gamblers to the winning gamblers, would you notice any differences in personality, ability, or habits?

Is it something that we could test people for?

Are there things that we could encourage, reward, or train people to do better that would increase their chances of winning?

Odd question BUT it f you have a compulsive personality, hate losing, and love money then you shouldn't gamble.

Degenerate personality and no amount of encouragement or reward or training will change that.

First, if we observe the personality and characteristics of a large number of people gambling at the following games, will we notice any similarities, or any differences?

• Slot Machines
• Scratch Tickets
• Craps
• Roulette
• Blackjack
• Dice
• Poker
• Lottery
• (add your own game if I forgot to include it)

Are people with certain characteristics drawn to play some games, and to avoid others, or do we find an equal distribution of personalities among the games?

I think a majority of it comes down to what kind of games the person likes. Someone who is more interested in instant gratification would likely play the lottery, scratch tickets, and other similar games, while a more strategy-minded or frugal gambler would likely go for games with the minimal amount of chance to them, such as sports gambling, poker, or, in some cases, blackjack.

This board has gone for a shit.  Its only about faucets and gambling anymore. 

I believe so it depends upon the person winning and loosing will not show that they are different from each other and should I say that only happen because on the other round of the game they can switch theirs personalities when the dice roll. Habits would particular when they play smart on each of their game will make them differ from each other..

The question confuses me.
Most gambling games you will see how there are -EV and players have no control over it.

If you're talking about games like poker, yes, there's a big difference between a winning and a losing player in the long run.
It takes a lot of dedication, discipline and understanding to be a wining poker player, and most people give up before reaching that.

That sounds correct to me.  

So it appears to be influenced by personality or habits.

God created every person with different personalities. No one is same as other so expect a different habit or belief like after loosing a game one may bet higher because he follows a certain strategy like the martingale or one will stop as soon as he made a loosing streak.

I think yes , loser gamblers who tend to gamble on -EV games usually tend to be moody and greedy
but gamblers who do this for living or the +EV gamblers usually have a normal life if they organize their time well
for example in Leatherass book , his wife mentioned that she couldn't know anymore if he is having a winning session or a losing one cause he knows the game well , so his personality and habits are kinda normal

in general all should be good unless the person is addicted , being addicted to anything will change both of your personality and habits

i don't think that it is the losing or winning that make the personality but it is the other way around. which means the personality is leading to a losing or winning end result.
for example someone who is greedy, or a gambling addict is mostly losing because of how he performs like betting without thinking about the consequences or not stopping when he is ahead.

Another worthless post. Assuming for a minute, that the gamblers who win have different personality traits ,would following or replicating those traits will change your luck automatically ? You can't shove a flower up your ass and call it a vase.Similarly ,imitating the other gamblers won't have any effects on your chances of winning.The only thing they have in common is brains,some use it effectively others don't.

Even though people have different personalities, the reaction will be more or less the same. No matter who you are, losing a lot of money will probably make you moody and grumpy. That's why it's important to gamble responsibly, as an addiction could hurt many others around you.

What you said is true, on loss all of them have same reaction, but who are calm and knowledge able person will play again calmly and their mood wont affect , that person only will recover his loss. This is the personality of a good gambler to be calm in any situation.

I doubt it, the only difference is that some are good at gambling & some are not.

Winning or losing doesnt change the personality of a person or his/her habit it only changes the mood that currently he/she is having.

I think it doesn't actually makes any difference to the personalities of people by winning or losing in gambling, but it can affect their life somehow and that could make a little difference in personalities, like if someone wins a lot so his lifestyle and personality picks a change, and if someone loses a lot then his lifestyle and personality is also affected by that.
And also it can changes in one's habits of gambling in case he loses, but if he keeps winning then for sure it won't change his habit of gambling.

Does someone who buys a scratch ticket every day have a noticeably different personality than someone who works regularly to improve his poker game?  

Are there differences between slots players and blackjack players?

I do not think so the most that are addicted can do both but they will have the same habits in my opinion.
I think they are just doing the same only luck can help you of course.

Ofcourse there is a difference, Poker is not all luck, there is a part skill involved whereas scratching a card is just hoping to get lucky. Same can be said about BJ players but it is still mostly just chance of catching a card, unless ofcourse you're counting in some way, which is impossible to do online. So yeah, people with different personality play different games.

PS: Are you writing a thesis on Gambling and Personalities?

I think most people with any other addictive habit, eg. smoking / drinking / over eating should think twice about getting into gambling. This might be a bit controversial but they already have a

weakness for some addictive substance and the reason for this, might just be true for gambling too. How many times have people said, " I smoke to cure the boredom " ... is this not true for other

things like gambling too? Do not get me wrong.. I do not say, all chain smokers or alcoholics will turn into gambling addicts... they will just have a bigger tendency because of their other addiction.

Drinking in some gambling operations are actually encouraged with free drinks to get people to spend more money on gambling. { You cannot think straight, if you under the influence }   

No.  

[academic stuff] But Psychologists have noticed that different games appeal to different personalities, and mathematicians know that different games have different % Expected Value (EV).  I see evidence that some games reinforce specific personality traits and habits.  The self-selection process (appears to me) to result in different personalities having noticeably different financial results when gambling.  I realize that it is not always easy to separate cause and effect [/academic stuff]

I suppose winning gamblers are more self confident. Ready to take a risk. Which can bring them in both camps.
But the same goes for the losers, since it the game depend on luck mostly.

This could be true, because they have a better feeling about gambling because they won of course.
And with the losing people its just the opposite they are thinking that gambling is risky and not worth the bet.

This could be true, because they have a better feeling about gambling because they won of course. And with the losing people its just the opposite they are thinking that gambling is risky and not worth the bet.

the question a bit confused, but I hope my answer related.

although we have a good strategy, but gambling always depend on luck. so losing and winning is a matter of course for me.
but at least the strategy and knowledge, enough to help us to win.

Both of them have really different habits and personalities. Winning gamblers know how casinos or gambling sites works. They know when to stop from playing while losing gamblers don't know when to stop playing. They only know that they will earn big from it not knowing they already lose more than what they've invest.

i was considers that every type of gamblers have same habits and that's an addicted and greedy because for those who has the winner gamblers will never satisfied with his victory and will do more gambling although they are already rich and same goes also with the losing gamblers they always be trying do more gambling to recover their losses even the results will be very bad

I think gambling is depend on luck and how dare we are to take risk there, but i don't think people have different habits the bankroll can be different that is why some people can't afford to place huge bet with possible chance to win big there.

I don't think is there any winning or losing gamblers because everyone will be losers at the end of the gambling. In gambling even one or two days one can make some decent money but they won't stop it because they think either they got a trick or lucky so they will continue until they lose every thing. So in gambling only losers and no winner in the long run.

Yeah it needs a skill too.. but if you don't have luck and you have skill playing poker you can't still get any profit and you will lose. but if you have those skills and luck you can make a profit.. try with your self with skills without luck..  its different and you can never made even few profit.. this is not like a billiard pool that you can control the game it is always depends in our luck and the cards..

i think that gamblers who are losing stays gambling until they win it back or lose all their money,

while gamblers who always win are always go outside to celebrate their winning.

 

I don't think that you can test people for this as its not so strait forward. Even very greedy impatient people can be lucky. I would say though that if you have an addictive personality and are I pulsive that you probably shouldn't gamble. Also if you willing to gamble money you can't afford to lose you should stay away. I think these traits would be the most destructive to anyone's gambling expierence offline or online.Also I think ga!being when you drunk or high is a bad idea since you not thinking properly and will most likely rush through things with little though or perhaps gambler wrecklessly your hard earnings. I think some people in offline casinoes like to show off and plash money around too .

winning and losing in gambling is common thing, so it has become a habit, and there is nothing strange in it. unless someone always loses and never win it is personalities ;D

NOT have any differences in personality, ability or habit but have any differences in lucky chance. Yeah, never give up can make their chances of winning because people want to try and try again, for this the winning chances will increase too.

It's all about mindset.

Well, at least when it comes to poker, the difference between a successful poker player and a losing poker player has everything to do with mindset. Those who think they can succeed will. Those who think they will fail, will succeed at failing.

Those with a winning mindset will put in the work and time to not only to play the game, but to increase their knowledge of the game and learn the winning strategies - winning strategies that include hand play, discipline, proper bankroll management and tilt control, as well as learning their opponent's habits and what makes them tick.

Those with a losing mindset have limiting beliefs that prevent them from putting in the time and work required to improve their game and thus impede their development into becoming a successful poker player. You can see many examples of people with limiting beliefs and the losing mindset here in the gambling section not only regarding poker, but other gambling types as well.

Confucius said, “The man who says he can, and the man who says he can not are both correct.”

Which one are you?

People who always win  or mostly win in gambling are people who have set a limitation to the amount that they are going to bet, and they are easily contented on their winning and take it home even with a small amount, at least it is still so called winning, but with a small amount only.

And gamblers who always lose or most commonly lose are those who sometimes win and bet big, but not contented on their winnings and demanding for a much more prizes by betting again and doubling the amount they had bet, which in total if everything goes wrong none of your money survives so as you are a loser, but that will not happen every time, because sometimes we have a luck and sometimes bring home a big amount, but that is too seldom.

From that list you posted only Poker players could be somewhat different animals than others. If you think about it: in every other game your skill, habits and dedication is insignificant.

It doesn't matter how hard you try to win in Dice or Slot machines - there is no one who can title himself great Slot Machine Player or master of Lottery after all.

Pure luck based games are all the same and I don't see any difference they create in gamblers.

More like perception.Mindset isn't the correct term to define a personality.

See,no matter what mindset you have ,your cards and intelligence to an extent decides if you will won or lose.Not every game is a charm,not every lost game is the end of it.In my mind I can assume a lot of things ,what if my bank roll doesn't match the level of my cards.I will have to back out!On the other side,doesn't matter how intellectual you're if your opponent has a royal flush with you being plain shit cards,you simply can't win for obvious reasons.Luck does play a bigger role.The smart decision you can do this time is call it quits.

Can you win a 3 card poker match with a person having 3 Aces while you are on double queens ? You just can't! My point is ,your mindset doesn't matter,your cards,opponent and experience defines your capabilities to win the game.You can assume a lot,keep your mind prepared but before great cards and money management techniques,its as useful buying a hat in Somalia to keep off from the sun.

I think the difference between winning and losing gamblers is just luck. This may sound like a stupid statement but as long as you are making the correct decisions and the correct plays then over the long period of time you will have made a profit. People can't control what will happen during the sport event or what the next card will be in a poker game, they assume things based on knowledge about the game and past experience but in the end all that matters is pure luck. Of course veteran players with a lot of bets under their belt could possibly lower the uncontrolled variable of luck in the long run but still gambling is not an exact science and will never be. There will be good runs and bad runs and no one could predict exactly what will happen unless they have a superpower like clairvoyance or something. You could have read all the books about poker in the world but this feat would not always make you a winning player because luck can't be taught or acquired. Yeah pro players can calculate odds and expected value but at the end of the day the luckiest players bring home the bacon  ;D

I think you are right about that, these people really has set a limit from when they will stop that is also why they are making profit these days.
I also think that people that losing again and again are acting different due to the fact they stay doing it.

Good gamblers make decisions that give them just a slight advantage.
You will always have luck swings up and down, no one can control that.
But a good player will win a little bit more and lose a little bit less than a bad player.

I would say that knowing when to stop, staying off tilt (discipline) would be the difference between a winning and a losing player.

I'm sure both winning and losing gamblers have different personalities. People who losing on gambling always have unstable emotion than the winning gamblers, because many gamblers can't accept their loss on gambling.

You can add 'altcoin trading' in that list.  ;D

What i think is there can be no good players in gambling, so there is no different losers or different winners.
Today's winner is the loser tomorrow, and today's loser can be the winner tomorrow, that is how gambling is, this is how it works.
You never always win, and you never always lose, but maybe at the moment of winning and losing a slight change comes in the personality of that person.

Losing gamblers in poker have not put the time into studying the statistics of hands and betting strategies. They also can't accept losses well when they are the favorite to win. Those are 2 huge factors for poker

Yes we can not judge that who is winner and who is looser if it for only one day we can say end of the day he is winner and he is looser but if you think over all it is very difficult to judge. And yes i agree that winning time and loosing time people personality will be change. And one more thing knowing when to quit game is also one of the change b/w them.

yes winning and losing gamblers have different personalities and habits. some people do gambling in a limited way and in a partitular time when they feel that they can won the game. the forever looser play biting all the time with out any thinking and they loose the money all the time.

I think people who are impatient would probably lose lots more then people who can keep level headed and calm.
Impulsive people are bad with high stress situations.

i think the difference in the personality of the gamblers is not depending on them winning or losing, it depends on their own personality to start with which then with lead to winning or losing.

i mean if a person is not thinking realistically and thinks of gambling as way to earn money and get rich he will definitely lose a lot of money and always be a loser.

That's correct, losing gamblers mostly get irritated very soon if someone even say a good thing to them because they are always thinking about they loss in gambling, on the other hand, winning gamblers are always in a good and happy mood because they cannot forget what they have won in gambling because of their luck.

thats not true, on the first bets you might also lose your money so i think there is no one who would be safe against losing on gambling though thats just my ideas

I think it is a personality, because it is impossible habit to continue to lose.

but indeed both look the same, winning and losing has become the personality and habits of the gambler.

Depending on the person earnings may change, someone who is likely to lose will stop after they have a huge loss, winners are likely to continue and possibly earn back some of the lost money. I think it is also based on knowledge for something like sports betting.

People have different personalities and habbits regardless if they are winning or losing.  That is the blue print of each person.  But if  you ask me if this winning may change persons personality then yes.  If you are winning, you will be happy, cool, calm and warmhearted.  If you are losing, there goes the negative  traits.  Few people can smile when losing or let go of the losses without any sign of negative traits.

All gamblers is not the same they have differences personality ability and habits.
Why you are testing people? i think there is no such we need to test for people.
Honestly you dont need to train people maybe rewards can be increase their chances of winning..

The hypothesis is now that we can condition players to take actions that are statistically more likely to result in winning.  We are getting better at it.

In my own opinion, we also need to identify individual attitude to risk with or without gambling because natural attitude to risk will be go a long way in determining whether one will win or not. Another is how emotionally attached individual will be when his interest is in a particular place then that could also influence ability to be objective in making a decision... My 2 cents...

yes of course, to me there are two types of personality in the world of gambling one is who have full control on his pulse, and the one who have no control on himself, so the one who have full control on his pulse always play gambling with special strategy he has a unique way of gambling he always do gambling in a limit and he never exceed his limit and most of the time he wins the game and very for very few time will be losing money , but on other side the person who have no gambling strategy and going gambling without any planing he always face loosing money.

I could not agree more. If you want to win in casino, you must have a discipline to follow your system no matter what. You must also create sessions to have more chances of you winning.

If you don't have the above requirement, you better not indulge yourself in gambling, period.

Yes, winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habbits. When that gambler win his bet, his day must be feel so happy and so energy and when the gambler lose, his day will be full of sad and always tired and feel lazy to do anything.

hahaha  ;D but seriously both winners and losers in gambling are equal unless winner is winning all day and loser is losing all day ! winners are mostly with more attitude and losers are with more aggression !

Yes. A winning gambler have a cheering mood. While a loosing gambler is in total frustration. If a winner looses some one day it doesn't effect him. While if a looosing gambler loooses same low amount he is raged and spillls chat with abusivr comments against site. I have spent 3 years in online gambling casino. I just shared my experience. Thank u.

Usually profesional gambler facing big loss, they think rationally rather than emotionally.
Some gambler may be cry for lossing or even betting more until they realize that they have use all of his fund

Yup, it's right. But I think real gambler will feel both winning and losing taste in a day. So according to me in winning and losing players we will not see much difference in their personalities or habits. But those who stop gambling when they win their bet his day will be happy, and those who keep on playing to get back his loss he will be the sad end of the day.  

Most of the gamblers i know arnt any good and they tend to bet lots of games and add games all day long cause they are doing it for fun
or addicted. Good gamblers i have come across play way less games and never chase and add just to have more bets

i think there are no differences in personality, ability, or habits when playing gambling. gamblers only want to win gambling. in the end if some one lost in gambling, he put his sad face. and if some one win in gambling, he put big smile on his face.

maybe differences is only the matter of how big gamblers luck when gambling. gamblers only select the game that he have skills to play, because he/she know that you don't know how to play, he will lost.

All gamblers have at least one thing common whether they are winners or looser and that is gambling by itself. In gambling you play against player or house there is no difference because your chances of loosing are same. All gamblers want quick money with minimum efforts thats why they come towards gambling. They have more similarities than differences.

Well when a gambler wins for sure his personality is going to have a good mood and it tends that he is going to be happy at all. And if he is losing of course he is on a bad mood. But I am sure when a professional gambler whatever he is going to happen to him he is just going to keep calm always and he knows what he's doing.

I think winning gamblers are people who used to take big risks to win big. It is logically impossible for someone to win big with small amount putting on stake. Those win big believe that go for big or go home if win they have lot of money while loosing gamblers play slow with fear but also loose in attempt of recovering. There is big difference in playing style of both gamblers.

No there is no difference in personalities because all are just gamblers, but we can say this the luck is the difference among them, some players are very luck and can make huge profit from dust, and some are not lucky and losing consistently by playing on different games, in other format of gambling where people need some skill to make profit where they have difference in abilities.

I don't think in gambling only who play slow they will lose and who ever play big always they win. If I'm not wrong, who ever play big they may lose faster and whoever play small may lose slower but at the end if you play longer then both will lose money. Whoever understand end of gambling they will gamble smart to save money and enjoy the game but will not try to win big in short time.

I don't think this is necessarily always true. I met some very polite and cheerful gamblers with terrible losing streaks.
It is just some people think that cursing and Bm'ing after they lose is perfectly fine way to overcome their shaken nerves.

Exactly, because the winner is having a lot thoughts in his mind about what he can do with his winnings, and a loser also has a lot thoughts about what he would do with the things he need to because he had already lost everything in gambling.

In my own opinion, winners gambler are those whose mindset ahead in an average man. They have few moves to success their plans. There hobbies are wear same clothes and they are not luxurious person. Peace of of mind is only they have when playing games. While on the other thought losers gambler think hard to get rich as much as possible but they dont know lose a lot of money. They are greedy and undisciplined person. They are luxurious person, arrogant and bitter.

yes both winning and losing gamblers have different personalities the winning gambler is can control hiself and he know when to stop and the losing one is the greedy gambler

as God created every one different from another one, mentally and physically, every one has their own mentality. while gambling one may have some limit for gambling while other may have no strategy of gambling. one may stop gambling after losing to a certain limit while other may continue tell the end. so personality must have effect on winning and losing gambling.

All people have differences even not in gambling. It is on how we take things personally. We can't compare it like that because every gambler experience to win and lose and also decide for themselves whether to play again or stop. I think chances of winning can't be higher with training because it is just based on luck. Maybe some uses strategies and techniques but still it won't guarantee you to win on every single game.

Human personality is affected by a lot of factors. When gambling, one of two things can happen: you can win, which triggers the "need" to gamble more, or lose, which triggers a less intense need to gamble. That's why so many people are addicted to gambling. Habits do change, and the personality becomes driven by gambling and by ideas on how to make money.

I think both are the same. Everyone wants free money and that's why they gamble forgetting that the house always wins in casinos. You may win at once instant and then lose in the next - thats why its gambling. So winners and losers terms are relative here. A winner did lose a million times to become a loser. So there is not much difference in their personalities/habits.

Encouraging gamblers or gambling activity is not a good way IMHO as that will only motivate gamblers to gamble more and more, even when they lose.
And almost all gamblers have the same story, that they always lose in the end. So, the difference is that, only 1% (which is also a big number IMO) earn something very big through gambling while 99% of them always lose, and yes, these winners are a lot different in personality and with a completely better lifestyle compared to those who lose.

Basically outcomes is dependent on our luck. But I'm quite sure both are same there is no difference in personalities of them. Some people are very dare to take risk with big amount and that is why they making big profit. Because bet amount is depend on our bankroll and how sure we are before stake any amount on it. 

really had to predict which ways will it goes but if you have a big heart and trust with your bet you can win big, no difference it is just same gambled that oping for some luck.

That's quite interesting and I think there are probably many things that differ from winning gamblers to losing gamblers. Of course this is only from empirical knowledge and I never read any studies about it, if they were done at all, but I believe winning gamblers should be very organized and methodical, to keep track of their progress and follow strict bankroll management rules, and from the psychological point of view should probably be very disciplined and calm, so they don't let their emotions take the best out of them.

I think so, sometimes gambling depends on luck, while their personalities or habits may be the same.

If they are long term winners and losers, there must be different personalities or habits between them.

Generally, winners are patient, strategic, clever.

Losers are impatient and get angry easily

Yes of course they have different personalities a good gambler know when to stop the game when winning and know when to stop when losing, while the loser gambler just get furious when he lose and will keep on betting until no more things to bet, in other word, the way of winning and loser gambler controlling emotion is different

Surely that gambling is always depending on the gamblers. No matter what how long you are in the industry as long as you have a bad luck then you are not going to win.

I agree with you that when a gamble loses they usually get mad and they can't accept the fact that they are losing.

So, tendency the are going to keep on gambling and they are going to get the returns of their loses.

every person has different set of personalities and habits so the same is for every gambler and every losing or winning gambler too.

but generally i think those who always lose will develop different types of personalities than those gamblers that win more often. and it may not exist in them in the beginning.

Yeah. Winning or losing mostly changes ones mood and your mood represents your personality somehow.
So if you win which mostly develops a jolly mood in you and that would make your personality better in compared to what it would be when you lose, because losing makes your mood off and when your mood is off you cannot bear anything so that would show a bad personality of yours.

Yup, we see a lot of difference b/w in personalities or habits of winning and losing gamblers. If I win my bet, of course, I am very happy that full day and I happily involve our works in that day. Suppose if I lose my bet, That whole day my face looks like very sad, and I am kept on thinking about that loss amount.

I feel you because it happens to me very often. My technique before was when I lost, I simply back off the computer and take a deep breath. I go outside and have some talk with friends and when I come back I play another session. However, this time I am not really much affected to it because I always play emotionless as possible and just play with my pre-planned bets (losing is part of the pre-planned bets)

I am sure that the gambler who wins more is allot nicer that the gambler who loses much because the loser is irritated about all the losses.
It does not really have to be that way but for me it seems logic.

Yes, of course. Gambler who wins always feel happy because their bets are win, in the other hand, people who lose their bets always feel sad and rage. I'm sure it's different when gambler losing and winning.

Of course, winners and losers they have different personalities. There are losing gamblers that cannot accept that they lose and says there are cheaters in the house. There are those hard loser and influence others in a bad way. There are winning gamblers that stay positive throughout the game and share his blessing. Right now if I choose which I belong of the two maybe the loser one.

Based on my experiences, the one that wins a lot in gambling has a go lucky and cool personalities. They tend to be very easy to deal with and very fun! At least, that is my experiences to the people I know of that wins a lot in gambling.. They are just lucky people. However, most of them are have systems that they strictly follow though.

There are a few specific traits that succesfull gambler has (sportsbetting and poker, as others can not make a profit):

First, they are patient. They don't want to win big instantly, they wait for opportunities that have a positive expected value, so the win in the long run.
Second, they are consistent, they follow strategy and don't deviate from this. This prevents costly mistakes that nullify months of hard work building their bankroll.
Finally, they can shut down emotions during gambling. A win or a loss does not matter, as long as the bet they made was good.

No, because you see some people want to win money quickly while some are happy to wait if they know the wait will be converted to money. What I mean to say if some people might profit by doing safe way of betting like arbitrage or such but gamblers who want quick money would always play luck based games.

But I don't think you are right with your opinion the basic question winner and looser have different personalities or not. So how can we say that on luck based gambling where nobody has control over the outcome. But you are talking about addictive persons who losing again and again.

Who don't want free money in gambling? They gamble because they really want to earn free profit and getting more profit in gambling is really good for me im not really good in gambling but sometimes i can really win in every round and withdrew the amount of profit and then never comeback we can really make good instant profit in gambling sometimes we lose and i never do deposited again.,

I will say yes winning and loosing gamblers are different and their personalities also are not same. I do agree on that as well that luck plays important role in winning or loosing but will not make you win always. You need to change your habits to be benefited of the support what luck provides you. You own habit is effect your luck in gambling and other things too.

It is true the should be same in large part of their personalities if they both have interest in gambling that is first common thing in them. That comes after whether someone wins or loose where luck is important. I don't see any difference in their habits or personalities.

Actually there's a lot of difference to winning gamblers to losing gamblers. Actually there are a lot of losing gamblers that get angry, sad, and some negative things from which can be funny for us and some of them are saying that the site where they gambled is a rigged site and a untrusted site. And about those who are winning are happy and have good aura/vibe to them. So in short, Losing gamblers feels negative feeling and Winning gamblers feels positive feelings.

There are exceptions in every rule, when we talk about of type's of gamblers and their personality I have obligation to point some extremes. There are people who win and they are not feel happy, there are people who lose and feel happy. There are many similar examples, it's very hard to describe someones personality without talking with that person. Everyone of us here is different, different kind of needs we have , different situations brought us here.. even thou we have many similarities, different kind of mixture is in each of us.
Clear answer onbyour question is that there is a big difference between people who win or lose.

I seldom seen an losing gambler without complaining and blaming because of something happen.Its normal i think to a losing fellow.You were right here that loser manifests negativity and winner in positive mode.But I like someone that is calm and is in control even in losing the game.He remain quiet.

We could really train someone to be a pro gambler but every time we did this there would always be a negative side. Now in terms of habits,ability or personality yes i think it is pretty obvious that human beings are unique in their own ways

They're just the same, but some of them are lucky and some are not. This is the only difference between the two. I've been part of the lucky ones too a few times, but it doesn't work forever. It just doesn't.

Yes, the lucky people personality is different from unlucky people personality. The winning gambler full day he will involve his work happily. But the losing gambler faces bit sad that owl day. This is the main difference I see in both winning and losing gambler. And the habits also different the losing gambler may make some bad habits when they lose money in gambling.

Absolutely true they have different personalities and habits. Winning gamblers are happy while losing gamblers are sad :). When it comes to their habits I think winners are more laidback than losers where there is so much pressure for them to chase their loses.. and they are very superstitious.  ;D

That really is not a valid argument, cause suppose I am greedy and bet even when I have won a good amount then still my chances of winning remains same, either I bet the same day or I bet the next day. If you gamble the most important thing is to make correct decisions which is impossible in dice and probable in sports betting.

winning gamblers and losing gamblers , hmmmm interesting , by the way all gamblers are losers  ;D
unless we are talking about grinders and sportsbettors , but in general they have different personalities
of course they work hard , cause in order to be successful in anything you need to work hard so maybe same habits different personalities  ???

I have seen the demo of this, if you visit primedice or any other known casino and visit their chat, then you will see people raining and behaving like rich people and after sometime they loose and abuse site and everyone there, so yeah obviously everyone loves winning.

Everyone is same. Its after they win they become good and gentleman while the same person when loose becomes aggressive and abusive. Because win makes us feel good and calms us down while obviously a loss makes us feel bad and think like what wrong have we done.

It really depends on how much are the winnings, some people hit the jackpot and they quit gambling , some win a couple of thousands and they continue, its the same habits. In terms of personality, most winners have risk and money management also they research and overcome the house edge. Most losers depend on luck

Not really, loosing gamblers will always be short tempered, greedy and less self control while winners in gambling will always have a gentle nature if not pleasing and will always have a control on their greed, cause if they were geedy they would not have won.

Yeah, I have noticed it, but in my thinking, it is not right that winning in gambling is not depend on personalities or habits. Because i think it depend on Luck, many useless personalities can win in gambling, but only when luck cooperate with them.
But it is other thinking when someone say that strategy or skills would be needed in gambling than also it will be matter our personalities or habits.

You are correct mate. Gambling is just pure luck and right system or strategies. As we can see the professional gamblers, we can really tell that they have variations of personalities. Hence, personality really does not play a big factor in winning but luck and strategy does.

But if you want to join the professional gamblers club, you must have some basic characteristics and personalities.

Only with those characters you will be able to control yourself while gambling that will play a very big role in determining your profits and your success in gambling.

I believe there are some typical habits which will be define professional gamblers.

I need to agree with the you. That may be the reason why I am not successful with my gambling and there are some gamblers who are keep on winning and becoming rich by keep on playing gambling.

If we follow them very carefully, we may get chances to learn some basic characteristics of becoming professional gamblers. But, overall becoming professional gamblers are is not a single day event, we must dedicate ourselves and to learn those habits and characteristics.

In my view it is really matters the way you bet on sports betting, Their should be some rules to follow to win high. Like first you should fix the daily limit to play daily and in that limit you should split it into different match so that the risk of loss should be divided between matches.  This is the way a smart and good sports betting gambler will be performing and if we also adopt the same way we can also be in good ROI in long term like them

There aren't winning gamblers, there is only one time in their gambling when they won over and over. So difference is that when you win, doesn't matter if you are looser in past, happy face on both side is same. So what's about their personalities, it absolutely depends on person because there are one types which continues normally and anothers are trying to gamble more and more until they lost everything.

If it is true that professional gamblers are making consistent profits and the rest of the gamblers are not able to achieve that, then we must start believing there are some typical characteristics and habits existing and that will be helping some group of gamblers to make consistent profits.

I think there is no other gambling group that actually making profit its base on luck and experience and strategy can help you stay long in the game that honestly gambling was made for entertainment and for fun and it is bad that if you will make gambling as your habit..
And i think there is no groupt that can give and sharing a profit..

There is nothing called consistent profit in gambling, since it is "gambling". Any winner in gambling has incurred huge losses before winning big, and in most cases they have gone broke even after winning big since the amount they have lost is much bigger than the amount they won. Hence the terms loser and winner becomes relative in this case and both have more or less similar habits and personalities.

This statement is completely false, sure there are winning gamblers. People who've won the lottery and never gamble again after that are winning gamblers.
Sure, the majority of gamblers lose in the long term, but there are also some winners, even in the long term.

To answer OP's question, in certain skill based gambling games, winning players do have different personalities and habits than losing players. I'm thinking of poker players and people who do sportsbetting professionally.

It is all depend on skills and luck. If you luck one of these two, you will surely lose and will not be happy anymore. Of course, controlling emotions is part of the skilled acquired.

I agree, it just depends on every player's luck and not really on personality. Well we have to have some expert conduct a thorough study on the psychological behavior of every gambler or more or lease a huge number of gamblers that loses and wins. But, in my opinion, attitude or personally does not affect your luck.

There is an obvious comparison between the ratio of lossers and winners on gambling when we are talking about generally but if we do separate it then there might a good numbers of winners specially on gambling games that do require experience and knowledge because chances are somehow high compared to other games that do really need luck. Personalities would be still the same like when we are losing and winning is just the same.

Even though personality and behavior wont affect at all on how lucky we are but still it would really still affect on how we play which means we cant do anything good on a cool way and things comes to worst even if you are lucky and you didnt use it correctly it still the same story.

Yes they have differences in terms  of their personalities and habits, it could be in some other ways they have the same habit but mostly are not. The only thing which we can give a bit of advice was they must be be careful while playing gamble. Because it is a combination of mind, heart, emotion, and self discipline.

Yeah losers and winners don't have a specific difference before they become so while after loosing and winning the habits are totally different of both of gamblers. Where a looser will look for destruction the winner will look for calmness and construction.

There is a basic theory that says "Winners There are losers and there are people who have not yet learned how to win" What this means in core is that we all are winners if we take our loss politely and search for next win.

I think the winning gambler is like a unicorn. There's no such thing. Either one knows how to cheat or one will lose in general. We have all seen how people win thousands of dollars and then lose them in less than a minute wanting more. I suppose that only a personal who isn't a gambler can come to a casino, bet once on 50/50 chance, win, withdraw and never do that again. Otherwise, everything will be lost and in case of a real (not online) casino you may end up even owing a lot of money.

That is philosophy,exactly opposite to  what the thread title represents.IMHO,nothing else counts by playing your cards right.Luck is just an obsession,an excuse.

Again,very philosophical..Odds are only in the favor of the risk taker,rest all is just a myth.

Well of course there will be a difference the the other induces negative emotions while the other gives positive. Just try to observe the faces of people coming out of casinos. Right off the bat you'll know when a person won or lost. A person who won most likely is smiling from ear to ear giving out high fives and greeting everyone while some who lost most likely is the brooding type, the one you'll have second thoughts approaching

Those all come under strategy while he is asking if winning and loosing gamblers have anything different in their nature, way of working, etc.

As far as I am concerned there is nothing of significant difference between both and even the losers win sometimes, the only thing I can see is on loosing they loose temper while winning gives happiness, that can't be related to their nature though as that's temporary.

the difference is that 'winning' gamblers lose too, but they're sensible to enough to not chase their losses until they're catastrophic. a loser gets caught up in the moment and believes their luck will turn eventually. a non loser realises their luck is done and puts a halt to it.

I think you have not read the reply properly he is also giving the way of working in gambling because if you are following the bankroll system in any gambling then surely you will very soon lose all your bitcoins and become poor, and even if you are playing without systematic way on loosing you will surely lose temper (like what you said) that time you will go with all in on next bet and it may be that you lose it fully due to bad temper.

who ever is following the bankroll system in gambling on long term will be in good profit and even they wont be affected by bad temper of loss and over come the weekness

Well for me it is not the personality that makes them win,
For me gambling is just pure luck it is just that they are just lucky.

Yeah and talking about habits I have seen gamblers who loose a lot they still rain away a little often while there are guys who win most of the time yet they never rain or share their winnings.

Not encouraging rains here but actually I am saying that each person is different and even loosing gamblers can be polite and humble while winners may be too kind or too miser in their life. We can not really conduct any survey (as op suggested ) based on these.

Although its true but if you see winners in any dice site or sportsbook then you will see that the ones who loose are most proactive like if they lose a bet they will look for ways to win the next one. While the ones who are winners they just forget about the previous bet and make their next bet, though it is crystal clear that they have the loss in mind too.

Yes , we have different personalities and thinking on how things happen to us. We have different abilities and skills to use in a type of gambling the only similarities are we are playing to have fun or to earn profits.  Well if we move in some point what mostly happens in a personality is getting addicted in gambling in winning event then in time of losing with greed to earn again what they losses.

- Proper bankroll management
- Finding perfect time to exit on winning/lossing

are few things that should be considered in gambling if you like to secure some winning but without luck all above things doesn't make any sense. Different people may take winning or lossing differently like some may blame their luck some may blame themselves for being greedy but this may not affect on chance of winning.

Those are the after effects of loosing but what's the difference before they loose or win ?
I think people who strategize their actions and thoughts better win more often while who just believe their luck loose more often. Though whatever we say and think its all about luck and that cannot be changed.

Thats why we called this gambling since we do really need luck and those reactions and behaviors are just purely effect on which can gambling would put in us and having beliefs doesnt really matter at all.If you aare unlucky no matter how hard you try it would be still a lose.

But I do not see any big influences of these skill for profit making with gambling as beyond these only luck will decide our results.

When luck is the prime deciding factor, I believe there would be no big differences between winner and losers of gambling. Because we are relying on hidden factor for a good result and hence it will not impact on personalities nor habits. I feel time to time winner and losers will come and go.

When a winner turns a loser and loser turns winner, how we can expect different characteristics from them ?

Winning and losing gamblers I think they have no difference in terms of behavior in gambling habit. Whether they win or loss in the games in the end they will still go back in gambling sites. Because most of them still relying on luck :)

I think that every gambler has their own personalities and if someone wanted to imitate their style then they would lose. People usually gamble while covering their emotions and most of their actions in order to have a winning streak but in most cases winning doesn't happen because not all games are based off of tells.

Poker for example is based on tells and the gambler should already know that covering their bluffs would allow them to win.
Sports betting is different, it's based off of what you think, if you become professional at gambling then you could introduce covered bluffs into the match -that would just be called manipulation at that point and it's different when playing against a large mass amount of people compared to 5 to 7 people at a table in Poker.

It happens more on random. Unless you're talking about games of skill. Don't think it has anything to do with personalities

I could not agree more to this. I think, you just be yourself and find a strategy that suits your personality which aside from getting more winning bets than losing ones, you are also comfortable with that betting strategies. With poker, you need to hide those emotions and make skillful bluffs.

Well it's normal to imitate the habits and styles of successful gamblers as what worked for them may also work for you. If you talk about poker, yeah the key is to hiding your reaction whether you get a good hand or not. I used to think that wearing sunglasses weren't any help but trying it for myself, it can make you a bit more unpredictable because your eyes can unknowingly betray your emotions with its movements and an experienced poker player would easily notice that

I mean, I guess? It's all random, right? So we have nothing to base but the bet amount. There are people that are extremely calm in every game. Regardless if they are winning or they are losing, they have a solid foundation in the skill of remaining calm. They think that calmness allows them to have better decisions. I do agree with that.

Some people have a habit of going all in after a couple of rounds of losing. We all know that going all in makes you lose all of your money at once. It's a very rare thing to happen when you go all in and then you win in a high multiplier.

Personally, I have no seen any difference between winning and losing gamblers in personalities and habits. I think the main difference is an addicted and non-addicted gambler. Definitely the average of losing and winning is more increase who are playing gambling regularly and about me i am not a regular gambler than definitely my losing and winning is small but i can't guess myself that i have a graceful personality like lucky and winning man or not.   

It is true and that can be proved if you closely visit a gambling site's chatbox where people are raining all the time and there are guys calling the site a scam.

The guys who are raining or donating money are the immediate winners while the ones who are cursing around are the immediate losers. That is the reason admins usually don't ban them, since they know its just their immediate anger.

This is kind of odd question but I guess that the personality ,ability or habits doesn't really have to do with their winning or losing,
Specially if they are playing in some dice game maybe they are just having a bad or good seed so that's the reason why they are losing or winning.

i think there are no differences between winning and losing gamblers because they still playing gambling to make more money, but since the gamblers have different personalities, ability, or habits, so each of gamblers will have different luck in the games and this is affect with the chances they have. maybe if we have one purpose to know what is impact the gamblers have if they are differences in personality, ability, or habits and how they can keep stay focus in gambling games when they are win and loss. but i don't think that if we train the gamblers, they can increase their chances of winning because no matter high skills they have, there are luck inside the gambling games and we should select the games that depend with skills than luck so the gamblers can have a chance to win more money.

The only common thing between gamblers have is they are losers, when 99% of the gamblers are long term losers then there is not a lot of things that we can say that can identify them as a group, I think the only thing we can say is that gamblers are humans and long term losers.

Actually even in skill games the winners would be much more composed as they know how to play their game and losers are less experienced and hence not so composed.

But then talking of their habits, I don't think that changes at all as any gambling is mostly based on luck and I have seen some rubbish guys winning at gambling and some very nice and gentle guys loosing, so their behavior does not make them win or loose at all.

When it comes to personalities, each person does have differences with it and there's no way that we will have exact similarity with it. But when a gambler is in a winning streak that makes him comfortable and since he has the money, money changes the persons personality. And also the losing gamblers also are experiencing the same thing.

Apparently, yes! Each and everyone of ushave different personalities or habits do when winning or losing. In gambling? When a gambler know a winning strike, he/she is more comfortable than before because he/she know how to relax her/his self to produced a good vibes for his/her winning shot

That's right those gamblers who already have winning strategy is more comfortable since that they really wanted to play gambling with a good mood making sure that they will not got greedy and still have its self control to continue their winning attitude as they already knew that changing something while playing will not be good for them.

IMO, all of gambling players here are feeling comfortable everytime he/she won because we can't predict when bad luck strikes that's why we are pretty confident at the beginning of gambling but sooner later, All will just ended to lose once we don't know how to stop and get profit.

Your chances of making money are not affected by who yo are, luck does not care about anything, it does not care if you are a good person or a bad person if the next roll of a dice is supposed to be a seven there is nothing you can do to change your luck.

Well, most of the gamblers feel comfortable playing with bitcoin which is the first thing and secondly most gamblers accept that with gambling we should be courageous to accept failure and enjoy winning. Very few looks odd on the loss, so in my opinion gambling doesn't make any difference in the personalities.

I agree, gamblers lose and win that's the fact of the matter in gambling. We do win sometimes but most of the times we lose in the end and this is the reality because of statistical advantages of the casinos and their house edge. I don't think there is any difference with a loser and a winner in gambling since the game is the same for everyone.

No they are different in their behavior when they loose compared to when they win.

I myself when I win in gambling, I just go around and spread the happiness and distribute toffees and chocolates to my little brothers and kids ( joint family lol ) and when I have lost even if the brothers come to me and ask for something, I am just too rude which I usually regret later  :-\

Winning will trigger excitement and losing will trigger sadness. Some people will express their win by handing out a little tip to their friends and when they lose they may cuss or say things that are not reasonable just to vent their anger. So, winning and losing will have different effects on each individual.

We are really acting and feel according to our winnings and losing. These are really normal - the bad thing is the one that are in excess. If you lose like big time and you are losing even your properties and life savings, that is really too bad. However, if you win real big time, I don't know what you feel! ;)

That will be troublesome if you are winning and you still keep gambling, if you reached the limit you should really stop. Emotions cannot be stopped because that's life, it's how you react to things, and that's really normal. Maybe it's different when you boast your winnings without using any skills because it would look like you are just an asshole, something like that.

it has been longtime since i play bet,and still considering about this case,i dont know how people won gamlbing,is they are train,or just depend on luck,but logically people who train on betting,they also need luck,but people with luck cannot won as people who train on gambling,anyone agree with this?but i believe that gambling can be trained,and people who have good train,will have better gambling result.

Yes gamblers have different personalities especially the losing one.Ofcourse if you lost the game your heart beating fast and it feels hot and uncomfortable.Most of the time you can see the unwanted behaviour of the loser person.While if your a winner you've got the happy face and smily.

Yes most of the people will get tension when they lost money in gambling. And they like to stay alone few hours to forget that loss. Someone will become angry, and they put all money in next bet to get back there lost. This kind of people also there. And some people will take there loss easily, and they enjoy that movement. They play only to get fun, not for money. But the winners will be very happy, and that full day they are very active in all works. 

Gamblers have one common personality when it comes to gambling which is greediness and in times of loss is frustration and rage/emotional.Depending on a certain gambler you are there are people who can able to manage loss instead of whining or short tempered they do handle it with ease to limit themselves on playing.

Yes of course every players on gamblers who wins and lose had their own personal habits on betting. More of them were aggressive and wanted to win immediately, that's why it's the reason of lossing a lot of money again and again as he showed effort to win in a rush way. There were also having no skills and all just for fun even though he/she losses or win it doesn't matter, but importance for them is to have happy gaming and fun playing as well as lucky profit.

Yes, i think some winners have different and better personalities and attitude than losers and addicted gamblers.
Because every winner and hero has a different personality and behavior then losers.
That the reason i think because if we save ourself from greedy and control ourself to become addicted then gambling never give us lose every time, and make us profitable.
But in the end, i believe that our winning is depend only on our luck. 

Nice comparison about kinds of gambler and nice giving emphasis on gambler that take their loss easily because I presume that they only spend money that they can afford to lose and play only for fun. This should be us - the one that only play for fun and entertainment so there will be less stress along the way.
