Do winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habits?

[coinplus]

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 define professional gamblers.

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.

[eternalgloom]

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.

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.

[milewilda]

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.

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?

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.

[kryptqnick]

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

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

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.

[European Central Bank]

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

[cramcram21]

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.

[justdimin]

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.

[virasisog]

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.
