You forgot Daniel perception skills, as shown with the deck and the book, as Daniel himself puts, "I can differentiate each card by simple touch, the same as the pages of a book". You can argue that this ability that has nothing to do with the stand, but IMO Osiris is a representation on Daniel's love for gambling, much like Heaven's Door represents Rohan's love for drawing, so those inherent talents are somehow linked with the stand, as shown when Rohan's drawing skills improved drastically when HD became stronger.

Moreover, Daniel likes to GAMBLE and win by outsmating his opponent. Telence only likes to WIN in video-games, if Osiris had direct lie detection, it would take all the fun of gambling, as he could call the bluffs right off.

And the lie detection was more of a detraction at the long run, as Joseph says that Daniel would immediatly recognize the trick they used, while Telence freaked out with his lie detector and cracked under pressure.
