Do winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habits?

[Stedsm]

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.

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?

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

[xuan87]

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.

[NorrisK]

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.

[Sponsoredby15]

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.

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.,

[electronicfactura]

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.
