Do winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habits?

[Bitcoinbro]

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.

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.

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?

You can add 'altcoin trading' in that list.

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.

[PsursV]

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.

[Daffadile]

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.

[Herbert2020]

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?

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

[dinda22]

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.

[SAMKUSH]

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.

[lionheart78]

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..

[TippingPoint]

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.
