Wheeler describes Jim Smiley as a compulsive gambler with a penchant for betting on anything and everything. He is depicted as a shrewd, crafty individual who often employs unconventional methods to win his bets, showcasing a mix of cunning and determination. Smiley's character embodies the traits of a quintessential American frontiersman, often placing wagers on the outcomes of events, regardless of how absurd they may seem. His eccentric personality and relentless betting habits make him a memorable figure in Mark Twain's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County."

Educated.
Jim Smiley is described as a lean, lank man with long, straggling black hair, and a complexion of "yaller janders." He often has a smile on his face and a lively twinkle in his eye.
Jim Smiley liked to bet on various contests and competitions involving animals, such as frog jumping or dog fighting. He was known for always seeking out opportunities to wager on different outcomes and events.
One shortcoming the narrator and Jim Smiley share in "The Notorious and Jumping Frog" by Mark Twain is the lack of patience. The main character has to sit and listen to the story of the frog while wanting to be elsewhere.
Enthusiastic, competitive, and shrewd.
The narrator exaggerates about Jim Smiley's obsessive nature for betting, mentioning that Smiley would bet on anything from frog jumping to horse racing. He portrays Smiley as a character who would place a bet on nearly any event or competition, showing his love for gambling.
In "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," the stranger outsmarts Jim Smiley by tricking him into betting on the performance of Smiley's frog, Dan'l Webster. Unbeknownst to Smiley, the stranger fills Dan'l Webster's mouth with quail shot, weighing him down. When the contest begins, the frog cannot jump, leading to Smiley's defeat and loss of his bet. This clever ruse highlights Smiley's gullibility and the stranger's cunning.
