Alter Ego In Gambling

[piebeyb]

I don't know what your friend thinks, indeed sometimes everyone has a different personality when they are not gambling and when they are gambling, there is a personality that is inversely proportional, as you said, this is an alter ego, but as far as I think, isn't it usually our character when we are not gambling and when we are gambling it will be the same, for example I am sometimes careless so when gambling I do the same thing.

There is no difference between my personality when I am not gambling and when I am gambling, I gamble responsibly, just as my personality is responsible with my family so that they are in line with each other, there is no striking difference, let alone a split personality when gambling, but I think what is what happened to your friend, I don't think there is a serious problem because maybe there is someone out there who is also the same as your friend.,

In my case I would say that I don't always have the same situation. Sometimes I feel comfortable taking risks when the money is adequate. But when my bankroll is small, i try to take less risk. But gambling is good for those who can change their personality temporarily. What is usually expected to happen in gambling happens the opposite. Those who can take risks can win at times but those who cannot take risks tend to lose. I support gamblers who are willing to take risks. Their variable behavior gives them a chance to win big that the average gambler doesn't. A gambler should not only take risks but also he should think whether he has money to lose or not.

I just discovered a friend's personality, who in real life is very thrift and very conservative but once he played online in casinos he became very reckless and loved to play the risks because for him when it comes to gambling if you cannot take a risk you don't have a chance to win big, that's a big contrast from his real personality for him he has alter ego when it comes to gambling, so his outlook and decision is very much different when playing.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,

        -  Some gamblers actually think like that, and others don't. If you look at it from another angle, it is also true, like "If we don't try, we won't experience winning the gambling jackpot" or, in other terms, "How can we get the jackpot if we don't try to bet on gambling?".

Those thoughts, for me, really have a point. That's why there are only two types of opportunity in gambling: the good result and the bad result, and we also know that most of us in this industry know that the result of the gamblers is always a bad result, and that is always losing, and we should be aware of that. .

I think every person has their own alter ego in many different things, you can observe it by yourself but mostly some people are not aware of their alter ego as they consider it normal despite not being their usual self. Well, I don't see myself having an alter ego when it comes to gambling cause knowing the fact that is it risky and relies on luck, if you can't even control your emotions for sure it would just give you a worse outcome. Plus I think we all behave differently when it comes to gambling but doesn't mean that it is your alter ego, the roller coaster feeling you would feel in gambling can affect your decision-making making but after learning and having an experience for a long time you true personality would eventually come out.

What I notice is someone that is having fun from gambling. A fun activity should be an activity that should be able to bring out another side of you and for this your friend exactly, I feel this is what gambling does for him. Your friends has found a way to bring balance into his life by not allowing his personalities to mix, his serious and fun side. He knows when to be serious and when plus how to have his fun. He just needs to be advised to control his recklessness so that it does not run him broke.

The thing about this is that you can’t actually tell who is their real personality, or maybe we can say it’s the one he does when he’s alone all by himself. I think many people do this in the form of giving you advice on what to do and tackle a problem but when they face the same problem they tend to handle it a different way. But looking at the meaning of alter ego again, I don’t think it’s the case for this friend of yours.

Multiple personalities that can occur when someone is in a depressed situation or vice versa that can make them feel attracted to something. But on the other hand, in my opinion, your friend experienced a change in  behavior and mindset because he saw a winning opportunity in gambling, not only your friend because I think cases like this happen and most gamblers experience the same thing, and I will say that people like that are those who are easily provoked by something that looks quite tempting which in the end they try to take advantage of the situation and circumstances, On the other hand when they are in a situation like that then I am sure that they will not consider that it is carelessness especially if at the beginning of the session you are given a win, that's the danger if you are too sure of something that has no certainty.

[Agbe]

Any Gambler or not a Gambler is a conservative then he would not progress in the gambling field because he would be using one method and wys to gamble and instead of changing method to discover new skills and technics. Your friend has a wrong perspective on gambling. Yes there is always a risk in gambling but there is risk management in gambling who your friend can apply to control the risk that is involved. Some people when they are gambling, their mood of interaction would changed and and friendly. Well in the gambling hall, there is nothing like bad mood and good mode, in gambling you loss or you win and that has nothing to do with your mood there 

[kojektea]

not really. I'm sure your friend is a beginner gambler. At first it must have been very difficult to control it, especially since you didn't have any principles when you jumped in here. If we just want to try it without knowing the risks then being prepared will change our nature drastically. like what happened to your friend. I'm sure he wasn't guided when he entered gambling. he followed his ego with a lot of gambling making his attitude change. I hope it's still not an addict. and you have to remind him of the dangers of gambling too often if he starts to get out of control.

[ChiBitCTy]

Haha you know what there's actually some legitimacy to this here.  If you look at this post at face value you might be tempted to think this sounds silly or whatever, but the truth is an "alter-ego" could legitimately make you a better gambler.  Now I'm sure we could argue when and where it could be useful, but for me it's when I play poker..or more specifically Texas Hold'em.  I am normally a pretty goofy person who like to have fun, make jokes etc.  When I play poker I get very serious, making as few facial expressions as possible, not holding much dialog etc.  This helps me to be able to keep an even keel and not show my opponents any sort of tell.  I love getting in this "mode" during poker play.

If you don't pay attention and get dragged by primitive emotions during a gambling session, you may end evoking your alter-ego without further notice. However, I don't believe alter-ego is a mirrored personality you have hidden inside yourself, rather I suppose it's just the irrationality and impulsivity taking control of your body, consequently decreasing your self-awareness state to an inferior level, so such opposite behaviors to your personality can manifest.

Alter-ego is not a secondary personality, but the absence of your conscious personality.

For that reason, every gamblers should be careful to not let their alter-egos show up, otherwise they can face considerable losses and spend beyond their initial budgets. I would be very concerned if a friend of mine, who uses to be very conservative, became highly prone to taking risks during a gambling gameplay. He must practice his self-awareness and self-regulation skills during moments of high pressure and tension to not repeat it futurely, for his own good.

I believe most of us here usually become more reckless when we first enter to gambling because this is the first time we exposed on this kind of risk. It’s just peculiar for a conservative person to become interested on gambling since things that have high risk involved usually a big turn off for a person that you described.

I’m not familiar with alter ego but it looks like a psychological disorder since it’s behavior which people usually hide. I’m not conservative in real life but I’m not a risk taker either but I become a medium risk taker when I’m exposed to gambling since that’s what gambling games real effects to player.

Definitely true and i do agree into this one on which on the time that we do step our foot into this field on which personalities could be changed yet instantly or on point and this is why its not really that something
new and shocking if you do see someone who is really that too thrift and conservative but on the time  that they are doing gambling then those personalities would really be totally changing up on an instant.
This is something that would really be just that so normal because we do know that once people would really be doing gambling then they would really be on the storm of those emotional things
on which personality would really be that totally different on what we are before but those are really just that temporal, we are just humans and its normal that we are really that highly reactive
on things specially if we are dealing with money.

People would usually be ending up on having those kind of reactions on the time that they would be losing money.This is why it would really be just that normal
that seeing them with those kind of behavior is a casual stuff and its better that you should really get used to it.

alter ego is actually a good thing if you can control it wisely and i usually use my alter ego when i'm working so that i look like a professional.  but if i look at your friend's story, i don't see that your friend uses an alter ego when playing, he just turns into a gambling addict, he is not able to control it, someone who is very careless in gambling will only find himself bankrupt every time he gambles.  Gambling often makes us change 180% of our personality before we start gambling, so we are always alert when gambling and careful in every decision we make.

Some people do really mind on how they do look on other peoples eyes and this is why they would really be doing as much as they could on looking cool or having that compusure but on the time that they would really be that dealing with gambling then those things would really be entirely be changed on which i could say that it would be normal. Just like on what most people been saying on here that we are just humans
and we do hate up on losing money on which means that those reactions were pretty common.

It did really just turn out that you arent that get used to into those kind of images that you've known on a certain person on whom you do though that
you are really that seeing them to be that too having that thrift personality.

[Miles2006]

I can't relate cause I have zero confidence when it comes to gambling, I don't know about your friend but the person might be an expert for him to be so brave, if I may ask how often your friend visit the casino shop or he can't resist from the urge, if you find yourself discussing with such person it's better to stop him cause gradually with that impression and braveness he might likely turn to an addict. There's no such thing like taking risk in gambling cause a lot of people who choose to take risk with huge money to win big might likely not even win. In my opinion no one should have an alter ego when gambling it's best to stay real and gamble what you can afford to lose.

I do not think your friend is that thrifty at all.  The only reason why he is saving is because he wanted to have a huge bankroll when he engage with his scheduled gambling session.  Since his purpose  for saving money is to have a good time having a deeper bankroll, he will surely not care on how he wager his money.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,

I don't know, since I always allocate certain amount if I wanted anything, it does not differ on how I allocate some of my funds to gambling.

Alter ego is part of your ego that turns on and off in certain situations, it's sort of part time protection for something you consider you real persona.
It's part of your true personality, even if you think it's not though it seems like other side of you as you don't use it as a defence mechanism all the time. We also have hard time accepting ourselves with all our different sides, so we put our blame to alter ego when we do something that we ideally don't want do, or that's far from our every day behavior. But it's always our real personalities doing the stuff.

That ego is always there in everybody but it depends how we are able to suppress it when it comes to certain things like you have used gambling as example. It also shows in our dealings with another person in relation to money and like gambling is involved, the ego will show in some people bringing out their greedy tendency to win big despite the challenges. So they keep playing no matter how much they have lost.

Alter ego is very influential and it makes a gambler not to accept defeat or loses and this is why they will keep playing even when in loses. Thus, if we can suppress it then the better we gamble not to focus mainly on profit.

People personality can actually differ from their risk appetite and it's not a problem because most of them are just maybe excited or are too determined to get just the best from that which they are doing, someone can be calm and really conservative but their quest and hunger to getting money may differ, they could be risk takers unknown to you.

People Usually have different character when money is involved, they can be wild than you have ever known them and for me it's really not strange because there's a trigger present which is actually inducing the exhibition of that part of them that I've not seen before now. But then there are also people who have got the balance regardless of what ever is involved they are still able to keeping their cool enough to still maintaining their normal self with which you knew them.

Multiple personalities that can occur when someone is in a depressed situation or vice versa that can make them feel attracted to something. But on the other hand, in my opinion, your friend experienced a change in  behavior and mindset because he saw a winning opportunity in gambling, not only your friend because I think cases like this happen and most gamblers experience the same thing, and I will say that people like that are those who are easily provoked by something that looks quite tempting which in the end they try to take advantage of the situation and circumstances, On the other hand when they are in a situation like that then I am sure that they will not consider that it is carelessness especially if at the beginning of the session you are given a win, that's the danger if you are too sure of something that has no certainty.

Well, that what actually happens and there are certain conditions where personality attitudes change instantly if they trigger emotional or psychological pressure which gives certain boost to person mental state.
Similar things often happen and are experienced by anyone, even I myself have experienced the same thing before, when I first felt how happy it was in gambling and experienced series of defeats, there would be phase where I couldn't control what I was doing in gambling.
But as time goes by, if you want to learn and also understand how you should and best gamble then changes like this will never appear again and of course they will remain as they know where to gamble carefully and always avoid carelessness when gamble.
Everything requires experience and learning, so whatever attitude happens will automatically change for the better.
