Alter Ego In Gambling

[virasisog]

Most gamblers are reckless at some point. Sometimes I bet all-in just for a thrill and sometimes I'm cautious with my budget when gambling. I guess most of us are up for a thrill at times and put our faith in luck too much at times. There are instances that I test how lucky I am and have this thought that if I'll be winning by the end of the day then I'll win this bet no matter what, which is really reckless. This is a personality of mine that I don't apply in my real-life. Each of us has their alter-ego but some are really strict when it comes to gambling, especially if you know the real risk of gambling and its effect.

If you have an alter ego in gambling that could only mean that you have no control over how you gamble, what you truly are should be an extension of how you gamble, I don't have an alter ego I am what you see in my true character in gambling, but sometimes there's a positive in having an alter ego like you have a reckless character in real life and yet when it comes to gambling you are so soft and you are very careful on how you bet but its seldom that way, all I know is if you're reckless in real person you tend to be like that in anything you do like on gambling.

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.

Yes so I think this is a common scenario experienced by gamblers and as I said before that most of them experience the same scenario when they see an opportunity or that means too focused on winning opportunities and obviously changes in mindset, beliefs and behavior will occur, not only that the wrong point of view and understanding makes them experience encouragement when in certain situations, losing and winning situations can change a person's behavior, and it happens more often when they are in a losing situation which ultimately affects mentally and psychologically which ultimately acts under emotional pressure.

You have proven it by experiencing it yourself, not just you because I also admit and I think this scenario applies to all gamblers, sometimes even though we have self-control and boundaries, it's still like you said that there are always times when we are careless because our consciousness starts to weaken which eventually falls and forgets the boundaries we have made before. But on the other hand having a plan for self-control and boundaries is much better than having none at all, because obviously there is a difference in terms of minimizing risk if you have a plan, so self-control, boundaries and awareness should be prioritized when you are involved in gambling.

I don't have any alter ego as far as I'm aware; I'm just exhibiting my normal self whenever I'm gambling. I just play normally and don't exhibit anything unnatural from what I normally am. I believe that people who have an 'alter ego' whenever they are gambling is because of their excitement and their knowledge of what they're doing. Of course, you wouldn't normally be a high stakes player if you don't know what you're betting on. Then again, it might just be the dopamine that pushes people to do some things that they normally wouldn't do.

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,

You had made the good research of the gambling site,because to tangle the alter ego we are keep playing the game to recover the loss.But casino was unpredictable one,sometimes game favours you.So use that chance to recover the loss of your past,but if you come to play for the next week.The game May changes upside down,if you suffer a loss in the gambling site,it’s far better to hold the game for the longer loss.The gamblers should hold for few weeks deliberately if they possess the loss,big loss can be avoided only by doing the damage protection techniques.Because the usage of the important money can leads to the big impact of your monthly expenses.

As you go through life you will see this sort of hypocrisy in many different forms, but it can actually be quite damaging for people to act like this. Sometimes if people have lived a sheltered life, where they have not had exposure to all sorts of entertainment - like gambling for example, then they can sometimes be overwhelmed when they finally get to experience it. Somebody who is "very conservative" may not often get enough dopamine hits to be able to understand and control what happens when they get any sort of win in gambling. It may be a crazy new experience for them and they can end up going much deeper down the hole than someone who has experienced little hits all throughout their life by experiencing the many things on offer.

This seems to happen to many people, the way they think when gambling is different from the way they view everyday life.
Of course the factors are very varied, it could be the desire to win big at gambling. Therefore he will go all out and not use logic well so it looks like his alterego is working.

i believe that's normal to most gamblers especially those who are playing online as people don't know their attitude when in online. they can totally be the opposite person as they can display their true behaviour online because no one is judging them. i guess, that's one advantage in playing online. you can mind your own business and no one will bother you for what you are.

i am also on this level as well. i am the same person as when i am playing online. maybe, a lot of people around me don't know that i am betting online. but that's it. they don't need to know that, right? am not stingy or generous, just the same as what i am everyday as a regular person.

People who usually hide their true faces and real personalities from the world are the ones who have alter egos. You can't have an alter ego or a hidden personality if you have been you throughout your life and never tried to hide your actual feelings and emotions from the world. Some people are too shy or introverts will generally have such things in them, when they get to experience things they never did and enjoy themselves without any boundaries, that's when you see their real personalities.

As far as I know myself, I don't think I have an alter ego or anything like that because I am myself when I'm doing something, I become childish if I'm enjoying what I've always loved and I make my decisions based on what I feel all the time instead of taking decisions that are or will be liked by the world around me.

It's like having an online personality that's different from who you are offline. I know people who act like that in other activities, especially in online gaming. They become crazy competitive, ready to sacrifice everything just to win a match. I know people who do that in sports. They don't feel pain and can endure a lot to show that they're good at something. I also know people who have an alter ego that manifests itself when they get drunk. They become different people, can fight you over nothing, will end friendships and relationships just because you did not want to party anymore and preferred to go home, or because you were looking at his girlfriend.
I don't have a gambling personality and I'm glad I don't.

I believe that most of us would really be just like this on which i could say that it would really be just that normal since we are really just that humans on which those reactions and
composure change instantly basing up on the condition or situation that we are really that experiencing into on which you cant really just that make yourself that
maintain up your posture or the way you do behave on the time that you are losing much. No matter on how good you are on controlling yourself but when it comes to the
moment that you would really be losing money then it cant really be that avoided for you not to be able to have those kind of reactions on point.
This is why it would be always best that you do enjoy up yourself despite of those actions.

Really does alter ego signify uncontrollability in gambling,  I thought in a different direction anyway,  because since the term represents a wrong identity in,  if related to gambling then we can say that a situation where a gambler acts in a way and behaves in another particular way.

E.g those who publicly speak against gambling in real life but gamble in online casinos without those around them knowing that they are truly involved in gambling at some point.

Many times we have the terms playing out in a lot of other ways aside from gambling and most times in real life we have several situations that prevent us from acting or seeing people acting that way.

Well, the alter ego does not necessarily have to be intrinsic to your personality, so I will try to be someone with a winning personality, someone real.  Since it does not personify only itself or someone fictitious.

In any case, I think you are confusing things, the attitude you have when playing games does not necessarily have to do with your daily personality, the decisions that are made are always different, you can make a bet of $1000, but you don't spend that on clothing, for example, is another attitude.

As he always mentioned, a poker player thinks differently than a player of traditional casino games, at least those who are documented, study the game, so having an attitude at a gaming table has nothing to do with the as a person you are.

Isildur was (is) one of the most aggressive players playing at a poker table, but his personality was one of being a shy person.

I have met this kind of people in real life several times. Whereby what they do most times differ from their personality. You might see them as people who are so cool and they could not even kill an ant, but when there is a fight you will see the beast in them. I have never seen such in gambling, whereby someone who appears not to be able to take a risk begin to gamble more than they can afford to lose. What I have witness is someone who always pretend not to have money and is not willing to spend money whenever he is with his pair group. Whenever it concerns gambling or something to his personal life he will spend more than expected. I don't now if this category of persons belong to what you describe as alter ego. If yes, that means I have witnessed them but I don't have that character. I am always myself, I don't fake it and I am always real to myself.

Arrogance works in almost all people and it is not right to apply them in the gambling stage. Having a great desire to win can have a negative impact on day-to-day activities as it is not possible to know when it will actually happen. That's why you have to stick to caution without feeling arrogant about betting and deal with risk by presenting your arguments well.

I don't really change my behaviour when I am gambling. It is possible that I could change it slightly, but I have not observed it. Maybe I might ask somebody if I really change my behaviour. I have observed that I usually change my behaviour when I am among friends discussing. I also alter my personality when I am playing football. I could be loud when I am among friends and playing football which is the opposite of who I am.

But you are correct OP that gambling could change people's personalities because I have seen a friend who is very quiet but he is always wild and violent when he is in a physical bet shop especially when he is losing. Some people become drunks after winning big in casinos, which is not their true personality. Basically, I think different games or environments could change the personality of anybody.

This is very unlikely in the sense that he might have a personality disorder or something. That's two very distinctive and far away in terms of a spectrum and maybe he just had that touch when it comes to gambling. He might have that personality in terms of risk-taking and maybe he is addicted to the thrill. It's quite intriguing, to be honest.

I don't have any alter ego but I have some bursts of "LET'S FUCKING GO" when I don't care about anything in the world.

When someone experiences a personality disorder it will be much more difficult to control themselves. Gambling should not change our personality but rather we control it, but it is a shame that many people have problems with this. Taking risks basically depends on how responsible a person is, but if the intention is to gamble and make profits regularly, it is an unreasonable risk.

It's the same with me because when we don't care about anything we will try to do things that are much crazier than gambling. But his nature is more responsible, including when involved in gambling, because if someone cannot control himself this is where his downfall begins.

It is natural for many people to be arrogant because it will arise when we are making big profits. We tend to underestimate other people and may not think that they can have the same luck as us. And when we feel that our abilities are better than other people's, we will try to take greater risks than we use. But the results will not be as expected because we are already arrogant. And if they can't control their arrogance, it's only a matter of time before they see someone else can beat them and achieve greater victory than they did. That's why we need to learn self-control to control all the negative feelings that will come out when we win.

Your attitude reflects on almost everything you do in life... I can't say for sure what would've made his case different... Maybe for the fact that people could be a little bit temperamental atimes... ?? Maybe he doesn't just wanna show forth his real attitude?? Maybe he's prone to being extravagant when it comes to any course of making money?? Maybe not.
The things you get to learn everyday on the net would either MAKE YOU or DESTROY YOU. AFAIK, having your stakes increased is a betting strategy... There are more chances when you adopt 'em.

This can happen because gambling causes addiction for some people. I'm sure this change in character occurs when the addict is very addicted to gambling. they forget how to manage money well, save, and even worse, forget to work. hope they realize it is also very difficult. I can't cure it, but those of us who still have common sense will definitely avoid it because it changes the nature of things which are quite dangerous.

People who gamble can't keep money in any way. I think we should keep some money from our income in our bank as well as gambling with some money it can be good for us. While gambling we have to pay attention to some aspects so that gambling  We don't waste much money in the game. Never take any wrong decision while gambling we have to face big loss. Gambling can't overload you.
