Gambling as a reflection of our personality

[Kavelj22]

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.

Choosing gambling as a preference can reflect an aspect of any of our personality, and it is certain that not all people prefer gambling as a hobby or as a pastime to pass the time without any benefit activity. Those who love gambling are people who have a spirit of risk and do not hesitate to take risks even if they are not addicts. Therefore, preferring to spend time gambling over winning reflects the extent to which these personalities are affected by the love of risk and enjoyment of risk.

There is no doubt that a person’s competitive nature can influence their involvement in gambling, and Michael Jordan is a prime example as you rightly mentioned… his desire to compete and win can be a personality trait that leads him to seek out the thrill and challenge of gambling. Many competitive individuals find an appealing outlet for their competitive nature in various gambling and sports.

We should also remember some F1 drivers who lived much of their lives with a lot of adrenaline and after retiring from sports could not stop practicing other extreme sports.

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

I think that the way people approach gambling, deal with wins and losses and manage their impulses can be a window into their personality, yes, but it is also important to note that awareness and self-control are skills that can be learned and improved, allowing these same people to manage their gambling habits, regardless of their personality.

The way we gamble should be our individual decision, how to gamble and when to gamble, but i still don't understand the way how some are still behaving like a slave to gambling all because they cannot just understand the actual norms expected of them in gambling, the way you are will reflect on how you are gambling, but we have the privilege of choosing between the good and the bad influence or reflection form the way we are gambling.

Some people just build and develop themselves to be acting as if they are out there to serve others, and being a slave to gambling can be one of those.

You said we have the right to choose what we want to be in gambling and how we want to gamble; if the gambler in his or her real life doesn't even know between his left and right, how can they also be able to make such a kind of choice to decide what's good for them in gambling? Some people need to work on their personality before they can think of gambling and getting things right.

I think it would be a little risky to make gambling a hobby, because a hobby is something that is done based on liking and the goal is to improve the mood, now I think no one is happy with losing money especially in gambling losing money is something that is likely to happen so most likely what will happen is the atmosphere becomes worse if gambling is made a hobby, with those who are rich it is not recommended especially with those who are middle to lower.
Do not hesitate to take risks that can make them lose a lot of money, good luck if you are lucky enough to be able to win with a large bet amount because when someone takes a risk maybe what they will do is gamble with a large bet amount, but anyway I do not think about making gambling a hobby let alone a source of permanent or additional income.

Gambling hobby maybe it can also be called a hobby of wasting money, I think it can be said like that because in the long run the casino will be the real winner and from that point of view why making gambling a hobby is a prohibited idea, basically when talking about entertainment activities then clearly there are still many other things that can also be entertaining and maybe gambling is one of the other options that you can choose, and in my opinion a gambler who makes gambling a place of entertainment will not consider gambling as a hobby but they only make it a last resort when there are no other activities they can do to entertain themselves in their free time.

On the other hand what you said is true that one of the other reasons is that everyone will never like losing money, actually there are many losers in gambling, many of them say that they are responsible for all the decisions they have made but strangely when they experience defeat they are emotional, so actually if for example you want to know whether they are responsible or not with the risks they take then look at their reactions when they experience defeat.

Discipline is the umbrella under which all of this awareness, and selfcontrol falls under but the issue has always.been with people been able to actually abide by all of this as at the time t hey should, some persons have got self control but do have wrong time of application and thst alone becomes a serious issue for them in that they later get to fain in that because at the time they  needed o apply it they were feeling hey could still get lucky but they don't only to go and apply in a later time.

Risk or preference for risky games is what characterizes all gamblers, even those who are not addicted. Some associate risk-loving personalities with violent personalities or those with violent natures, but this is not accurate and there is nothing to confirm it except some conclusions about the repetition of patterns without it being a general rule that specialists can take into account. If we go deeper in the study, we will find common traits among all game addicts, whether gamblers or just players. They all reach record levels of adrenaline every time they make a profit or finish a game stage. This appears in the happiness on their faces and in all their actions to express winning the game as if it is a life victory or as if they won a real war. These common traits are what determine the personality of the gambler in general, and there may be differences between some types of gambling personalities, but at the same time, the general characteristics of this personality can be established, which can help us in the diagnosis and treatment processes to a great extent.

Hobby is a part of pleasure, players who are true to the fun wouldn't consider throwing so much on a bet. They enjoy the moment and consider the need to stop when feeling overfed. No signs of regret, anger, or sadness follows them back home. For such gamers, gambling wouldn't have much effect on their real life behavior. It's more like a smart table tennis player refusing to gamble with the opponent, because it's his hobby. However, fighting over the profits isn't what interests fun gamblers.

Well, we could not be seen in gambling just because we are forced to do that, but mostly we are gambling because it's our passion, and because we love to take risks, and we are seeing gambling a quite challenging one.

However, getting addicted into gambling is another story. It's not actually within our personality, but it's on how we deal gambling incautiously that leads us to fall on its trap and get addicted in the process.

You're right but it becomes part of our personality once it becomes develop as a routine or habit. That's where many are falling for it because all they think about is on how they're going recover from their losses. So, that becomes a sign for that gambler's personality. But there's a bigger process on it on how it turns out to become part of our personalities. At the beginning, maybe it's not yet but once we develop more and gamble more, that's how we'd see the turn of events from being a good gambler into an hyper gambler and whatever personality we have that reflects it because the worse results shows the worst of us.

Addiction happens with different sources. When it comes to gambling it is all about the situation and the need that drive us towards it. Even an addicted gambler will be considered good and helpful in the society until he's known to the society as a gambler. When he's known to the society as gambler, people starts to make different thoughts on him, even though he's a good character person. This is upon how the society looks upon him and not his real nature. This means, it is the mistake of the society and not his.

When we do gambling then this is really that something that speaks about your own decision on having up some fun and this isn't really that connected about your personality in general sense because this is really just that an activity which involves fun and excitement. Although there are conditions or situations on which you will really be having that greedy behaviour but it doesn't always reflect out our personality because this is really just that a temporary reaction when it comes to this. When doing gambling then reactions are really that just normal.

The time that people do become having that kind of reaction which turned out or reflects on what kind of person you are specially greed then this is something that can be considered but actually these things are just that temporal specially on dealing up with something that in connects with money where greed and impulsive emotions do really come out.

Unfortunately, there are also some people who get carried away and take actions beyond the limits that should have been determined from the start, this is reflection that humans will never be truly consistent with their own goals that they even try to fight, forcing themselves due to excessive curiosity and the desire to feel the sensation of big win.
Many people talk very well about how their goals and attitudes are when gambling but what actually happens is that they are in complicated condition in dealing with their own attitudes that always change in every certain condition, haha ​​human behavior is always dissatisfied with what they have achieved.
Whether it is considered hobby or something else, gambling will become more complicated if it is considered hobby.

Yes, usually it is like that, or what you mean is that when someone is identified as being involved in gambling, then usually the view or perspective of society will change towards him, usually becoming more negative, but it also depends on how the perspective of society in their area is in responding to gambling, simply if for example they are in an environment that legalizes gambling then maybe society will not have a bad stigma towards gamblers regardless of whether they are addicted or not, I agree with the idea that society concludes a person's personality from the habits they have, and even if for example you are not involved in gambling at all but you hang out with people who are involved in the activity then usually society will also include you in the category of gamblers with quotation marks having a bad personality especially when you are in an environment that prohibits gambling.

Addiction can comes easily without we realize so when we can not stop from gambling, the addiction will come and make us forget about many things. Gambling can reflect who we are because when we playing gambling and lose the money, that will change emotion so that can be a way to know how good that person in controlling himself. Gambling may open a dark side of someone especially when we lose money so that makes us lose control. We can see our personality after we playing gambling for some time and if we can still calm down ourselves whether we win or lose, that will reflect to our personality. We can also calm down when we are in the hard situation in other activities and not just in gambling. We will not get tempts easily from gambling because we know how to treat gambling properly.

I can suppose that someone just don`t interest in the gambling, or has some other/additional hobbies, or don`t have enough time for gambling. All these people just can`t become gambing addicts in such situation. They don`t need any dsicipline for it - they just on the another side from the gambling. Even if they are playing - they just don`t feel enough emotions to become an addict. I think that problem with gambing addiction is not the problem with gambling and self control. It looks like that people try to solve some their problems using gambling. And it not only money problems - someone need to "kill time" - spend some free time, someone need to get bright emotions, etc.
The main part of gamblers has no problems with gambing - it means that the problem is not on gambling but in gamblers. small part of gamblers.

Absolutely right and it seems to me that none of us knows our personality. Anyone who says that they know themselves perfectly well and can predict their behavior in any situation is a fool. And gambling affects so many levels of our personality that it is very difficult to resist them while maintaining control. There is an opportunity to change your financial situation here and now. And an opportunity to become someone else, successful and independent. And plus gambling affects our subconscious with bright pictures. In general, this is a very strong attack and not everyone can withstand it.

When you spend too much time on something you will become addicted, even if we are talking about a woman here, also if a man believes that making money with gambling is the way they will become addicted, they have a goal remember? And that's what will keep them going, blindly and helpless.

The less time you spent with anything the better you are around it, there will be no room for addiction, what I found out about dear gamblers is that they don't have to enjoy the time they spent gambling, all they want is money, they want to make life changing money from gambling, this will keep them going no matter what, until they lost everything.

You say that people gamble because it's a passion to take risks and experience adventures, but getting addicted is another story. Right?
Well, you have a valid point about practicing gambling in general, but i don't agree with you that addiction is another story. Me myself i think that taking risks as a passion is a fast way yo fall addicted. Can you count how many risk lovers in gambling aren't addicted? I can guess that everybody who is frequently losing money without set limits is a gambling addict. It's not another story.

there is nothing wrong with taking risks as long as it's calculated, knowing what you stand to win or lose (within limits ofc). but taking risks doesn't always lead to addiction, i believe it's the other way around.
someone who is already addicted to gambling will take on more risks trying to win back what he lost.
