A Winning Personality
So you hope to be the next world's greatest online gambler eh? Alright, let's see if you've got those winning personality traits that'll send you laughing all the way to the cyberbank.
According to a number of experts, born gamblers enjoy certain personality traits. And a lot of these beliefs are based on an ancient Chinese science known as 'physiognomy' which professes to determine an individual's predominant character & temper by interpreting their outward appearance, particularly their facial features. This would imply that success may - or may not - be written all over your face.
Have a look at yourself in the mirror. Is that the face of a winner staring back at you? Your nose, eyes, eyebrows and mouth speak volumes about your playing strengths and weaknesses, as well as your general approach to card games such as poker.
Here's what the experts have to say about gamblers' winning traits:
- Short thick eyebrows suggest independence & aggression; a player who welcomes challenges.
- Thick eyebrows turning upwards belong to the bold, courageous player.
- Eyebrows which appear broken or uneven imply dishonesty; a good bluffer who cheats occasionally.
- If your narrow eyebrow curves upward, you hold your own during aggressive wagering.
- Upward-slanting eyes mean that you are brave, opportunistic and decisive.
- A mouth which droops at the corners is that of an individual who is not easily influenced by other players. You're somewhat of a loner, but a good poker player nonetheless.
- A broad face with a broad jaw & chin suggests a strong personality. You are shrewd!
- Thin lips belong to skillful bluffers and excellent cheaters.
- Heavy eyebrows which meet in the middle indicate that you play by the books.
- A drooping eyebrow means that you are shy and cowardly; not exactly a hot player.
- Folks with large irises are calm, gentle and not big risk-takers.
- Downward slanting eyes are those of a player lacking self-confidence.
- A big bulbous nose usually belongs to a gambler who is all heart.
- If your upper lip is long & broad, but your lower lip is small and/or pointed, you are probably somewhat gullible.
Other Winning & Losing Personality Traits
A gambler's personality, experts declare, is powered by two contradictory forces: the conscious desire to win and the unconscious desire to lose. Losers live in the past plus they repeat their mistakes. Winners, however, look to the future as well as learn from their prior mistakes.
So how do you know if you've really got what it takes to win? If you're a fast problem solver with lots of energy, ambition and drive... a flexible attitude & an interest in technology - then you're on the correct track. If you can answer "yes" to these following questions, then consider yourself a natural born gambler:
- Do you get off on taking risks?
- When you are gambling , do you experience feelings of exhilaration and optimism?
- Do you gamble on life's smaller challenges, such as leaving your umbrella home when there is a chance of rain?
- Is gambling one of your chief interests?
- Are you optimistic?
- Do you continue to play even when you are winning?
