Gambling is definitely a reflection of our personality because we generally approach gambling the same way we approach issues of life. Anyone very anxious to make money will show this in his gambling and anyone who is patient will also display some level of patience in his gambling. The moment our minds are fixed on the money, I mean being overly conscious of money, then you will see the gambler taking unnecessary risk without precaution. I have this believe that the moment a gambler addresses his personality, approach to issues of life and mindset, then the gambling life will just follow automatically.
I don't think we can interpret gambling as a reflection of our personality in dealing with the life problems we face. Of course the concept is very different when dealing with something like this, Even though the concept is about making money, everything is full of uncertainty in making money. No matter how patient you are in gambling, you will not be able to fight the site builder or the bookie. You will definitely lose money and lose your money because of the system created by the site creator. It's different if you run a business, even though it is full of uncertainty in finding money or customers, and at least many have succeeded in building their business venture.
