Gambling as a reflection of our personality

[Jating]

I was just have this thoughts, as we have been saying, to be not addicted to gambling, we should have self-control. But as much as we know this advise or saying, there are still a lot of people falling for gambling and I just thought that it could be their personality. I mean if they have the correct decision making, then no one will fall for being addicted. And then there is also the case of high risk takers vs those people who doesn't like high risk and just play for the normal.

Also the reflection of losers, there are those who readily accept the fate when we lost even big money and then think of just taking a break first or just go walk out and then sleep it over. And then we have individuals who can't accept losing, and so they deposited for more and experience the same defeat.

Competitive spirit as well, I remember on sports personalities in Michael Jordan, yes the GOAT himself. But even outside of basketball, he will always play and bet in golf as been reported before.

How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?

I think that personality has something to do with it but more so I think that it just points out some of your character traits such as being susceptible to addiction and maybe FOMO even as well. Ultimately its a bad habit, lets just call a spade a spade. It is especially a bad habit if you keep losing and shoveling money like its all you do that's not good.

Your attitude towards gambling and the way you gamble will certainly reflect some of your personality traits. As you know, not all your personality traits are good or will lead you the right way in all things. For instance, it will be good to possess the tenacity to pursue your dreams with aggression, but exuding the same energy to gambling will not lead to a good outcome. This is why you must watch it and know where to draw the line, not to try to prove that by gambling you possess or are practicing some positive attributes, even when it is a fact that gamblers possess some positive attributes worth emulating.

Of course, every player is an individual. Each of us is a unique personality. But in gambling, in my opinion, we differ primarily in our worldview. These unique elements of our worldview make us unique. We all play for slightly different reasons and are not always even aware of this. For example, many people play because they want to make a profit in gambling, but are afraid to admit to themselves that this is the true reason for their play. They tell their friends that they play for fun. Someone else plays to understand some of the patterns of the game. Someone likes the pleasant and magical interface of an online casino, it helps, for example, to relieve stress. Everyone solves some of their own internal problems.

It could be also the personality. But, is certainly brave if he sacrifices his money. If the psychologist knows this, maybe he will convict it as a psychopath. Gambling It should be different with his personality if he plays it as a hobby, entertainment or just to pass the time. because all living things need that.

[OgNasty]

I don’t see how gambling would affect my personality outside of gambling itself and I don’t really think you made a convincing argument that it does. I could maybe see how a certainly personality type would be attracted to gambling over a different personality type, but I don’t see how gambling could influence that personality type.

Each individual has a different character so it would not be surprising if this is a reflection of us as gamblers.
But I don't feel like I have to chase defeat anymore, because it's bound to be the same defeat. This is not a strange matter because most people end up tragic by chasing defeat.
I play gambling with ready money, meaning ready to lose.

I agree with what you said that gambling is a reflection of personality, besides that I think that gambling can determine how a person's personality really is in responding to finances because many people experience different things with their character after getting to know gambling even though maybe more of them are those who become stubborn because of gambling but that also happens because of their own mistakes which are indeed wrong in responding to gambling such as thinking that they can have a steady income by gambling when in fact it is impossible for that to happen.
another is that someone will experience two possibilities when getting to know and doing gambling, including those who will become addicted and those who act normally. Or as you said with those who can accept defeat and those who cannot accept defeat, clearly these are two different realities and people who cannot accept defeat are people who have the potential to become addicted to gambling.

How about you? Do you think you as a gambling also reflects your personality outside of gambling itself?

Well, I don't think it's a 100% reliable criterion. It is often said about money in general, that money only broadens your personality. If you earn a lot of money and you behave like a despot, you were one before, but you were not in a position to do what you like. On the other hand, if you earn a lot of money and dedicate it to charitable causes, you already cared about them before.

In the case of gambling I think there may be some patterns that reflect personalities but I do not think it is something we can clearly establish as causally related in all cases. Surely if when you are losing you talk bad to the croupier you are usually an asshole in your life that is not usually very nice, which is now enhanced. But if you start drinking and gambling maybe it is because of a recent misfortune in your life and not because in your life you are normally an alcoholic.

A person's personality is basically different, even though many people say and advise about gambling, no matter how they interpret what they think is right, there are those who follow the flow of gambling healthily and there are also those who take the path of gambling full of risk hoping to get rich easily, so it all depends on each person's personality and the only one who can manage risk management is themselves, other people can only remind without being able to force someone to do the same thing.

[Tungbulu]

Of course people’s attitudes and personalities in the outside world is exactly what reflects in not just their gambling experiences but also in other areas of life, like business, love, career, E.t.c. And that’s exactly why some people have a totally different perspective of gambling from others.

But if you choose to look at it from a different perspective too, there are situations you find yourself, you tend to give a specific reaction, regardless of your personality. it’s just like saying, regardless of your personality, honey will always be sweet when you taste it, that’s how it can also be with gambling, when faced with making gambling decisions, if you’ve not mastered the act of self control, you’ll definitely end up losing your cool regardless of your personality.

I also think that what characterizes a person's gambling is their personality, because not all gamblers gamble recklessly like what gambling addicts do. It is their good personality that makes them avoid irresponsible gambling practices and makes them more able to control themselves and make gambling only as entertainment - they don't go all out gambling just for the sake of profit. And therefore there is no need to be surprised that there are people who gamble for years, but their finances are maintained and they are never stressed because of their gambling, because their personalities are good and they are rational in their actions.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

Gambling is emotional and that's why it is bringing the best and the worst of us. The best when we win such money and the worst when we're having a bad day.

So, it truly reflects who we are and how we are in those situations that we are not expecting to come. The personality that we have and the way we deal with good and bad situations.

Many years ago, one could easily say that I was a very gambling person who did nothing but play non-stop day and night. For what reason? It's all banal. I wanted not only to win big money, but also to win back the money I had already lost. All this did not stop me for a very long time. As a result, I lost the trust of not only my friends, but also my relatives who lent me money, and I was unable to return it in time. It also did not go without a loan, which I also lost. Yes, that's the path I took. I was completely immersed in this activity. I did not notice anything around me and only the world of slots made me happy.

[Apocollapse]

I would say it's not about gambling, it's about money. Hence many people always say money reveal your character, money make someone to be evil, etc etc.

Gambling requires money, as we know money is the most important thing now, no one want to lose it. Most people before gambling are want to make money, so if they lose, they will frustrated and high likely show their true character.

However this depend on how much your asset, how much you earn and how much you gamble. If you earn $100K/month and only gamble $1K, it will not gonna hurt you even you lose it all.

[ethereumhunter]

Gambling is not affect my personality because gambling is just another activity that I do in my spare time. Besides that, by playing gambling occasionally will not affect to my personality because I am trying to limits my time and money when gambling. I know that playing gambling too much can gives me more problems and that could affect to myself and all things inside me. If people can treat gambling with right, nothing will change from them and they can enjoy gambling as an entertainment. They will not have intention to use gambling as a source of income or other things because gambling is just a way to have fun.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I always thought that gamblers were those people who at some point began to experience satisfaction from victories, which gave them a dose of dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Such feelings can happen to such people anywhere with a competitive spirit, and the place where some activity allows them to become a leader, a winner for some time, will become a favorite. In this case, a casino. The amount of loss is not necessary here; regular participation is important, and the desire to repeat the emotions. If you distract such people from gambling and interest them in something else, where they can self-actualize, then they will probably be able to enjoy it there too.

However, for people who expect to get rich by gambling, I cannot call them a person with the character of a winner. Any normal person should understand that this can happen to individuals, and it is always better to control your emotions and achieve success through your efforts, without hoping for a miracle.

Of course, the attitude towards gambling, as well as the manner of playing, is a reflection of the characteristic features of a person's personality. I will not say that these aspects are completely individual, rather there are some types, for example, gambling, calm, etc. At the same time, I believe that such a pernicious disease as gambling addiction is determined precisely by the personality of the player, that is, the predisposition to gambling addiction is inherent at the level of genetics. Such people should either not play at all, or they should be taken care of by someone when gambling...

[Dave1]

As much as I do not want to believed it, but looking at my gambling habits before, I think this could have some value as far as discussion goes. Because there could be gamblers that are not convinced, but on the other hand it could be true as well.

Just like when we don't want to gamble anymore, we could be just our personality is saying that we are not that risk taker. As there could be gamblers who are going all-in and YOLO and that's what they are also in real life. It might have a bad results for them as their decision is wrong, but that's how they are build, I guess.

maybe by personality it might be the way the individual look at gambling and the reason why he gambles. i feel what plays the greater role in gambling addiction is the main reason why the gambler gambles and not entirely his personality. if you are gambling for the right reason of having fun, you would never make use of an amount you cant afford to lose and will also not gamble too often to the point where you end up becoming wrecked due to your gambling lifestyle.

the point where your personality can also become an issue is when you are someone that is not a meticulous spender and then uses that kind of lifestyle in gambling, its going to be that the likelihood of getting addicted will happen too fast because you already have a financial problem you are facing even before you started gambling.
