I know a lot of gamblers. Here is the one conclusion I've made over the years. These are generalities. Do not apply to all gamblers.

1. The real gamblers I know are sharp, but not smart. Out of touch. Have difficulty with communication and understanding motives. They are skilled in their field, but struggle to intellectually contribute to subjects outside of trading/betting markets.
2. Gamblers are close minded, selfish, and lazy (when it comes to physical activity).
3. Gamblers are unfit for romance.
4. Gamblers can see miles past the obvious in this field, but sometimes lack common sense in the real world.
