Can a full time gambler lead a life just from the earning from gambling. I think it's possible when we get some experience over time. But some of friends claim they are all successful from day one itself.
It would be nice if you share your experience whether a modern days internet gambling will provide enough and regular money for getting a living out of it.

It is not possible getting a living just from gambling as gambler.Earnings from gambling are not constant and especially on long term you will always loose.This is not realistic approach if someone wants to live this way.

I dont think its possible gambling is very risky
Even your earning profits from gambling you can lose it
Any time. It would be better if you make gambling
As your extra income.


Gambling is a very risky investment gambe moderately.

Gambling is sure way of getting nothing.I will say same someone can not get living just by gambling alone.I would say even if you keep gambling and have other source then to will be hard to get living if gambling becomes addiction.To earn something you need to win each time whereas to loose just few hands and work of few days is finished and you start again from zero.

Depends how you define gambling. If you mean sitting on Prime Dice or whatever with some sort of system, no you can't, in the long term the house edge will tell if nothing else.
I make an income by 'gambling' on global stock indices and options, but you can't just walk in and make money, it takes a lot of time, patience and discipline.
If you are not able or willing to get a regular job, then try and develop something you understand and enjoy into a viable business.

Living from Gmabling  ???

Gambling make you poorer

FALSE. This is true, Gambling make you poorer. But I can't help it, some group in a population is addicted to gambling. others are not addicted to it. It is natural. I am glad that crypto-currency satisfy my gambling crave, without destroying my bank balance and my life, but this is also because I am not someone who like to take risk. If I did, or had I gamble with traditional currency, I probably had ended up in prison or heavily in debt. The existence of crypto-currency also enabled me to realise that gambling make you worse off NOT better off. Low stake and high bet limit enable me to test all sorts of betting strategies, but it all ended up to be worse strategies, you can start with a bank balance such as 100,000,000 or this 1,000,000,000 or even bigger. Your bank balance will always get busted. Gamblers, this is what happen to all gamblers unfortunately, this is our endings. We ended with 0, and consider this lucky. It was unlucky, when we ended with less than 0.

I think It's impossible. You can't always win even if you have what you think good strategy. Gambling is supposed to be for fun only.

i bet there are some people who live and earn with gambling and they consider it as a profession, just like professional poker players that earn a lot on gambling but for some normal people , i guess its not recommended to have a living with gambling. still it's possibe

No way man ! this is not possible to relay on income by gambling for good.Unless you have your own gambling business you can't.May be you play someway and succeed to make few cents for few days and begin to think this will work always.Believe me this will let you without money in the end.

when you win some serous bux get your money and retire......

I guess it depends on the type of game you play...

I guess if you're a good blackjack or poker player, and you find a room filled with "bad" players... You might be able to walk away with some cash on a daily basis...
This, ofcourse, depends on a couple factors: the house edge, luck, your own ability to play these games, the other players luck and ability,... These factors can change really quick, none of them are guaranteed forever.

However, all games that depend purely on luck (like dice, lotto,...) will certainly not be profitable in the long run. Maybe you get lucky and win more money than you've spend early on, but if you keep on playing, chances are very big you'll lose it all again...

I personally think it's better to find a good job, build some skills, get a bit of a reputation,... It's a far more secure way to have a steady income than gambling...

It would depend on what you are gambling on, how good you are at it, how level headed you are so you don't go all in and lose everything so I would say it it totally possible but I wouldn't put my money on it :)

Yes, it is possible. Ever heard of professional poker players?
There are tournaments you can enter with a small fee and if you win at the table, which means you usually have to beat only 3-5 other people, you win the prize.

For ordinary man living on gambling is not possible , Just in case you are Lucky to win 3-4 bets does not mean you are professional , i have seen a lots of people here quitting after winning ..k$ and loosing them all.

It would be impossible unless you are extremely lucky. Gambling profit does not depend on strategies since all of the methods fails at some point of time due to the house edge or varience. Gambling should only be treated as a form of entertainment and not as a way to make revenue. Also, at some point, the greed would take over you and you would just risk too much BTC and lose it all.

yes you can but the question is for how long? even you are very lucky or a good gambler there will surely come a time that you will lose, how can you recover to your "gambling life" if you dont have enough money to gamble and use for your daily life?

Yes it can be possible only if you put away some part of your winnings and to not go with all in each time you gamble.You can get living with holding funds when you don't win or play.You need to be mentally strong to set up amount for every gamble.

More poker professional player is supported from poker house and other sponsor, pay all tournament buy in and all cost, not live only whit a personal poker play income  ;D

Are you crazy? Living with gambling? You may win sometime. But luck will not be always with you. And if you fully believe in gambling at a point you'll not have anything to gamble again.

Unless you are the luckiest person in the world that will always bet right in gambling then yes you can. But then, let's face the reality, gambling is a game of luck, you can win, you can looase. Is that how you want your life to be? You can't make any decent amount in gambling without risking much btcs in it.

The answer is very simple and straight no one can relay to get living just from gambling as player.Some people said yes it is possible and referred at some poker players but that is rare case if is.It is not recommended because this is not possible in reality.

It depends on what you mean by gamble, are you playing slots at a casino?   Are you playing Poker in tournaments? 

Slots, you are probably not going to be able to earn a living.

Poker, if you are good enough, you could probably earn a living, keep in mind you have to be very good to play, and you have to have a pretty decent bankroll already because you aren't going to win every time.

Gambling for a living? Hell no.
Unless if you're a rich guy while gambling small amount, maybe. :P

lolz. you can here a lot of people that saying,
never use gambling as a living. or you will lose even your own house.
gambling as a living is a risky idea.
because you do not always win ...win sometimes.lose sometimes.
but i can say that some people are really doing this.
but i dot think that they are successful in life.
unless you won in a lottery that worth more than 10$million dollars.
well in that case.your life will really change.

You can absolutely get a living out of gambling, it all depends on the game and your bankroll management.

You can't simply say never.  You should say, it isn't advisable, or you have to be really good at it.  There are plenty of professional poker players playing as their job and they seem to be doing just fine.  They are worth millions of dollars and play poke(gambling) for a living.

But if you know how to stop and control your mind to be addicted I guess you can earn for your living from gambling. But most people are always pushing their luck to win more and more and hope dreams come true so at the end they lose all of their balances. My point is winning a little bit using low balance is great, if you want to win big try get bigger balance

My grandfather has never worked a day in his life. He has spent the last 60-years gambling casually as his only means of income, and has lived a pretty comfortable life. He kept 3 kids fed, bought a house eventually and is retired happily now (still gambles though).

Unless you are really good at counting cards or good at predicting sports, it is almost impossible to make a living with gambling alone.
After a while, your luck will abandon you and you will start to lose.

I know its hard but it doesnt mean that you can earn it for living. Not only poker players, poker players only get one winning and that is sure a lot of oney if you win it but only if you win, so how about if you are losing? And poker will wasting your time if you lose in the end. You wont get anything except you play in other site and win slowly, sure you will have enough for your living cost

Pro-longed gambling is like Pro-longed war : ill-advised .
You hit once, and you hit hard or you will feel the fatigue of battle.

You leave when you're ahead, you know when to quit.

you can live with gambling only if you win a big lottery with more million of euro and you don't work for the rest of your life  ;D

Making a living out of gambling is both risky and dangerous for your money and for your health..
Very few people are able to make a living gambling..Please never gamble in hope to make a living because you will lose your hard earned money that way.Gambling is for fun and you should do responsible gambling..There are many people in the world (including my friends) who gets in depression if they lose much..
For me personally Gambling is fun way to earn some money and gets excited at the same time :D Just remember your bankroll and gamble accordingly and you will be good :)

If you are very good in gambling like poker you get sponsors that pays you to play poker tournaments, then you create a brand or a society to keep on, and you keep going that road. If not, if you are an eternal loser, you won't get anything.

I think it is not possible to make gambling a permanent source to get living.If I am not wrong even great gamblers with good experience loose sometimes everything.It is too risky to adopt as source of living because it will make you addicted to gambling.

Many people are already doing this.  As several people have said, you have to have rules that you strictly follow, you have to be good at what you are doing, you have to have a bankroll already in place.  Many people are professional gamblers who haven't worked a real job in their life before.  It definitely is possible.

yes I learned many things from here.
If we go in a determined way to gamble with a measured level of bet amount with lot of attempts which is ensured by small bet amount then making a living from gambling is highly possible. If we play greedy then we might not find a living from gambling. So do it with determination, have a fun filled earning source.

I don't think that it is possible to live on a income from gambling alone. In gambling you can not win everyday, you will win one day and next 2-3 days you will loose the money. There is no regular and fix income from gambling, for living you have to pay your fixed daily expenses otherwise your life will be wrecked.
So I will suggest that do not depend on gambling for living.

there is some games that allows people to live in riches for lives. recently the texas pokers are so popular that many people r living with sponsorship etc. same as gamer, in the past all these gamers cant even earn $1000 a month and have to live on nothing. yet now it becomes a great business for gamers and everyone.

it is most definitely impossible i doubt that someone can earn a living just from gambling on a casino game though if you play poker its possible as a lot of people make their fortune with poker

No i don't think it is possible. If anybody is earning enough for living than he must be over lucky person. But as people says luck don't stay with one person for a entire life.

yes living from gambling alone is possible but if you are betting in sports game and that too trading type if you do betting you can earn for living, like cricket, soccer, tennis this all are sports betting, in this all games if you sit on one team and play you will win or lose but if you are trading like when a non favrite team odd is high bet on him with your 50% of your money and when other team comes to non favrite then bet the other 50% on it. like this who ever wins you will earn little but not loss.

Answer to u is big yes, but life of gambler`s is full with up`s and down. I have many real life story`s around me, people who never worked just gambling. As i said today they are full with money, tomorow they dont have nothing. When they dont have they borrow and try to make more to have to return.. its a circle. There is an expression : " Mother didn`t cry cause her son go to gamble, she cry cause he is going to retrieve his money."

Yes that is a life of gambler like this but i think dependent on earning only from gambling can make life more complicated than normal as earning are not consistent so it will be much difficult to live normal life.

well it is possible if you are really lucky in gambling but i dont think it would work out in a really long time as it has a house edge which makes people loose

I don't think this is good idea to take gambling is way of living and try to get take earning from it but if anybody is most lucky person than he can choose this way of living with luxurious life, for me much hard to take it as serious earning method.

I think that people can not get living just by gambling alone.I would say even if you keep gambling and have other source then to will be hard to get living if gambling becomes addiction. To earn something you need to win each time whereas to loose just few hands and work of few days is finished and you start again from zero so its very difficult to depend on gambling.

Maybe somebody can live with money which he/she earned from gamble. But you have to have more money to get back even if you loose some amount in gamble. You will win and then loose and then win. This is a gambler life.

Its possible if you win big and then never return to this but if you want to do this as full time then you cannot live with this because lady of luck can leave you any time and you could be on footpath with no food

It is possible. There are alot of gamblers out there which gamble for a living. They however are probably less than 1% of all the total gamblers out there.

They basically don't have emotion when it comes to money and have good risk management.

I think Poker is the only gambling one you can make a living from
Traditional casino games are more for funs and less for earnings.

yah. poker has showcase a lot of people earns millions of dollar already. That is more than average lifetime earnings.

I think it is quite difficult one to make a sufficient money for living from gambling. What you said is may be fraction of % of gamblers might be making some good money for living otherwise who ever try gambling to make big money or for living will end up in losing the money. So I think gambling should be like fun and bet small amounts and enjoy the success if you can win but gambling for living I think is wrong.

This depends on where do you play and how often do you play poker
If you play just within your neighborhood then I think that can't sustain your daily expenses since it's done usually during free time, but if you are talking about those poker pro's that you see in TV, well maybe yes It can help you go through your daily expenses. But isn't it that they also have managers that get's cuts from their winnings?

Yes. People are still in dilemma whether they can make a living out of bitcoin, but now started moving to think about gambling for their daily earning. In my view, impossible if you do not have determination and a plan.

Yes it is possible, some people that I know are living using gambling money and he has a family too and mostly he can feed his children until all of them going to university. Actually it depends on the purpose of people why they are gambling, most people gambling because want to earn money but others like someone that I know have the purpose of family, different purposes you will get the different results

yes they do have a manger to take a cut but they still earn a whole ton of money. And with sponsorship etc. The monthly income can be quite huge!

Nope it is possible if you know how to control your winning and your losing. Most people said impossible but there is already a proof that some of them are using gambling as their finance and until now they are still doing that and their family are great so I dont agree about this impossible thing

Of course it's possible.

It's a lot easier if you own a casino or are a bookie, because it's a lot easier for them to find +EV bets, but it is is very difficult.

You aren't going to make a living playing dice, but with lots of hard work and patience and studying you can make a living on sports betting, poker, video poker (with certain payouts/promos), blackjack (at the casino, very carefully) and other bets with a positive expectation.

Making a +EV bet does not mean that you will never lose, but you have a lot better chance of making money that way than by making -ev bets.

Also note that possible does not mean likely or easy. If you sit at a poker table you will be playing against several other people trying to take your money. Betting on sports means searching for mistakes by bookmakers, finding arbitrage opportunities, and hoping you don't get robbed/kicked out of sports books. In video poker you need to find the right machine and play correctly. Blackjack you need to count cards and hope no one figures out what you are doing before they ban you or shuffle the shoe.

if you are relly lucky you can if you do a parlay and the odds is 100 and you bet for 1 btc :p but if you do it in dice or poker it can be a day that you lose all.

I can always appreciate a good title typo. They're my farovite.
Seriously though anything is possible when you leave your life up to luck, however you won't regularly be pleased with the results. I have known a man to raise 3-kids on just gambling alone, but that doesn't make it a wise decision and that doesn't make him a consistent provider. Do as you wish, but you are better off with hard work and finding the right niche.

Living of gambling you been watching too many films. Gambling is totally luck and you may have a good day or weeks or even a month but in the end you will be in the gutter with all the rest staring at the bottom of your whisky glass.

Some people can make a living gambling but they are experienced people not everyone has the guts to make living gambling

You are daydreaming? There are no people that dare to place 1 btc with 100 odds. That is suicide thing to do. with 1 btc you can do 50 50 chance with a little houseedge may be you can win it but at least there are no one will do with 100 odds game except they make a small bet

Films and real lifes are really different. I watched and liked so many films about gambling. Sometime gamblers can be a millioner and sometimes they can be a poor guy.
In fact, who can control his/her feeling, he/she can be successfull in gamble. But this is the gold rule for to live from gamble.

It is possible. There are some professional poker players doing nothing but just play poker for a living. IIRC I read that Micon has also been a professional poker player for years and has won some good money.

Having that said, something is possible doesn't mean you can or you should do it yourself.

its make me poor and poorer bro :{

IF YOU ARE FOND OF BETTING ON FAVORITES WITH ODDS OF 1.2 AND THE ALIKE.....YOU WILL NEVER BEAT THE HOUSE LIKE THAT....AND SURELY WONT MAKE A LIVING FROM IT

Yeah living on Gambling is an absurd idea , i find it useless , i recently won 1.8BTC , which is about 400$+ , and i was in stress whole day about the result of match , i could have lost them all, and my friend earns from work around 35000 $ , and he has no tension throughout the day.
which is better?

that's true, you shouldn't make a gamble as your living it won't work because you versus long run = bankruptcy i believe on it and i do gamble for my spare time not more than that. and so far gamble still make me happy.

I think it's not impossible, but not so easy same time; with gambling you can make great amounts if you win and so you can lead your and your family life, but in the other hand you can lose everything also, so it depend with your experience , your luck

There is no differences between to do a 1btc parlay with odds 100 and do a 1btc bet on dice with 100x payout because you can lose all your money on that parlay as well. Both are the same "RISKY" bet, both need a huge luck to win.

You can make often some profit from gambling but you can not get living just by gambling even you are very good gambler.That is simple enough to understand you as player can not win always and to get living you need some constant source of income.

It is not possible for anybody to get living from gambling unless you don't run a business based on gambling otherwise it doesn't has any sense to even think to relay on gambling.At least to me seems impossible even if anyone claims to do so.

What about the thousands of people doing exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting?  Probably even more than thousands of people.  Tons of people everyday are professional gamblers, they have no other job and are living probably better off than a lot of us.

lol thers no such thing as "professional gamblers" unless you're talking about sports betting or poker. gambling has a % chance of winning usually around 50% and making a living from gambling is just bad. you will have the same chance of losing money than getting money.

Of course I am talkingabout Poker players, that is gambling.  There are also professional blackjack players.  There are tons of different pros so that is it.

Simply it is not possible lets talk other way as you said professional gamblers don't loose if we accept this true then too this is not true.When o group or simply two professional gamblers will compete with each even in poker then too only one will win and other will loose in spite of the reality that he is professional too.That is so simple to understand gambling can not be adoptive to get living from it for long.

I think professional gamblers also earn from sponsorship and sometimes they don't have just 1 sponsors but more, they don't earn from their winnings only in tournaments right?

I am not quite sure what you are even saying?  But if you read any of the posts made on this you would realize you are not even close to being right.

No one is saying professional gamblers don't lose. But as long as they are able to win more than lose, it is possible for them to make a living from it. And as in your poker example, only one will be in the top place in a tournament, but the players in the top spots will all get a nice profit.

Sure. You can get a living from gambling. You just have to own the casino, though.

That's the only way to win, really. In the end, you'll just lose everything.

I think is solid advice to ones that had beginners luck. Win some and then get out immediately, before you get below what you went in with.

Wrong, if that was the case, there would not be professional gamblers.  Are there professional gamblers?  Absolutely.  Thus your logic is flawed.

You can be a "professional" gambler... in skill-based games.

What I'm talking about is mainly luck-based ones that may or may not have a house edge. House edge definitely has a huge part in it.

That is a very risky way to live and you are likely to find yourself borrowing a lot of money to get by. I won over $3000 at the casino once, but ended up loosing it back to the casino in the long run. It's way too difficult to make any money gambling and anyone trying is a dreamer.

why not? nothing is impossible in this world...

but to make sure that gambling will doesnt has predictable result or fixed..its different with having real jobs..

I think it may be wrong what your thinking. Yes in this world nothing is impossible it doesn't mean that you should try some thing which is not so easy to achieve so it is better you put same effort to achieve your goals in some other good ways like finding a good job or find a business which can give you some decent profits instead depending on gambling. I do gambling some avocations just to pass the time

Yes that is correct, gambling just for fun should be right way instead trying to make money from it.

You can earn a living if you're a professional poker player and get sponsorships from PokerStars, etc. That's highly unlikely though.

You can also earn a living from organising fixed matches and betting on them. However, that's extremely illegal and you would need a lot of capital to start a fixed match syndicate.

So in short, no. It is next to impossible to make a living from gambling alone.

you can make a living if your great in sports or you are a proffesional poker player

Definitely not. Okay, I may have said before that you can make money from gambling your money, I never said you'd have a 100% guarantee you would have it long enough, or have it at all, to use it for everything else you'd be needing IRL.

Good luck though

The thread should be a poll instead ....but i have seen people winning hundreds of coins and investing in mining , making their own farms.
however those are not the general cases.
I would say NO.

If we accept this logic of professional gamblers then too a very small percentage of people which can be maximum 1% can not represent the masses.When talk about anything we refer vast majority of gamblers if they can get living just by gamble or not.I will say same '' no''.

That is sort of silly to say, saying a small % of people means that it is not possible.  Here are other things that are not possible:

Becoming any kind of athlete, lets start telling kids that they can't be athletes.
Becoming wealthy, better start telling kids not to chase their dreams


If that is your outlook on life I feel bad for you:(

yes if you have a lucrative gambling site

You cannot. Don't ever think you can make a living fron gambling. All people "crush" their own life because of that mindset.

When you start to make a living from gambling, that's mean you just start to crush your life.

Play for fun.
Play for free, (if you can)

Agreed with you that its not possible to live a good life by the money earning from gambling. There is fix income, you can not predict how much you will get on some particular day, you have no idea whether you will win or loose. There will be lot of uncertainty and financial problems in your life. So just better to do any job or business for living. If you want to gamble then do it but just for fun.

You can if you're a good poker player. Just don't get your hopes up, 99% of players are bad ;)

@ the OP -

If you're thinking about trying to become a professional gambler my advice would be to you - don't bother.
I'm sure some people can make a living out of gambling but the vast majority will fail, I'm sure many have lost everything trying.

Gambling is a hobby, it should be fun. Don't ruin your life chasing a dumb, impossible dream. Jobs are boring but they put food on the table, most people can't be some kind of fantasy, gambling maverick.

Yes its very possible to earn a living with Poker played in real life like at a Casino. But you can't earn your living with Poker when played online because you can't read people's emotions.

I have never knew of anyone who was successful from gambling online... except for this one guy...

My brother had a roommate in college who was SUPER into gambling on poker websites, mainly texas hold'em. This was still at the time when online gambling was still legal in the US, maybe around like 2006 or so?  Definitely not a part of the bitcoin gambling scene, but I'll tell his story any ways as it might interest some of y'all.

This kid just had a knack for gambling.  Sometimes when I would visit my brother at his college, we would play texas hold'em... we never stood a chance.  I guess from playing online, he came across as having this blank look like he was looking at a computer screen when playing, seldemly drinking at all when playing, he was very serious.

Then he started to get more into gambling.  It was a serious addiction, but it was an addiction that he profited off of, so I guess that's a good thing?  He would get into some pretty heavy buy ins, and would stay in his room for hours at a time.  Then, when/if he got in the "final table" he would quickly run to the library and go on the basement level to isolate him self from everything... no cell phone service, just wifi.  He would just literally disappear and stay there all night long until morning and maybe even in the afternoon if the game was really long.  There was times when my brother said he would come back with bags under his eyes and just a grin on his face as he sat down his lap top and goes... "I won 100K..."  Of course my brother and all his friends where estatic for him and would through these parties for him, where the guy would fund all the alcohol they wanted.

After he graduated (Accounting) he started flying out to Vegas and playing in tournaments.  He would win some pretty nice sized pots there as well, and started making a name for him self.  Major poker players would "sponsor" him and funded his entry fees to play in these tournaments, and he would just have to pay back a portion of the profits to the lender.

Anyways, he never has worked a day in his life... still flies out to Vegas.  Does pretty well in WSP tournaments (though hasn't made the final table there yet). Oh... I forgot to mention that he has won a couple of $1K-$20K pools on FanDuel before and thinks nothing of it.

But he was one of the coolest, nerdiest, most genuine guys I got to know from my brothers friend group.  Ended up buying a 50 inch plasma screen from him for $50 dollars, simply because he didn't want it any more... lol ::)

yup, the case is very rare but it is indeed true. there is a lot of these cases in texas poker and the amount you can win from the major tournament is really really huge. he really put in a lot of effort into this and that is why he successed. so overall, u can see that in order to win big, you still have to put in a lot of committment and effort.

Absolutely.. My brother said there would be these periods in time where he wouldn't want to socialize at all by going out with them and doing some occasional partying.  He would just be that focused into playing poker.

Now is that a healthy way to make a living? Hell no. But does he enjoy what he's doing, and not having to slave away hours for someone above him through work? Well.. maybe, considering he does take some sponsorships to play tournaments and has to pay a percentage of his winnings to investors, but still... Makes my day job look like shit considering the hours I work and at what wage rate.

Bet all your money on 10% win chance, it's proven to win you 10x your money around 10% of the time.

even an expert gambler experience ups and down , so you cant say to get a living from gambling :D

Well, if you want to be technical.. it would be ~ 9% of the time with the usual house edge a gambling site has now and days.

There's a lot of professional gamblers living only out of gambling. At least there are a lot of professional poker players ( like Negreanu) that make a life out of it. 

I don't think may people will make their life from gambling unless they have a lot money from their parents so they can spend that money on gambling and in that process some times they may win some big money. But if any one try to become a full time gambler with their hard earned money then very difficult to survive for long time.

Yeah I mean it's very difficult, but not impossible by any means.  The friend I referenced too above didn't have the money of his parents. I don't think any good parent would enable their kids to do that, but I'm not quite sure... He had a part time job for some time and just managed to keep on winning and getting better at poker. But I would not recommend anyone trying to do what he did, it was just cool to watch all of that happen and to see him succeed in his hobby/addiction..

its impossible, eventually will bust all funds if too greedy. but mostly gambler is greedy

Why you not try to Depo your small money and thing that is all your precious money which cannot be lose.
You must develop that money to make living. And if in the end you loss your money, with/without your greedy. Then your question will answered by your own experienced.

The answer is NO. You cannot never live with earnings from gambling. It is the opposite. You will destroy your life if you will begin (or will continue) to gamble. The experience in gambling doesn't exist. Gambling is only luck, winning of the owner (for sure) and maybe 1% of thinking simple things that cannot be called experience and cannot give you more than 1% of chances to win. Gambling, most of the times, can create addiction and in this cases the addicted person need a doctor to be again normal or he will destroy its life and the life of its family.

Correct. I'm agree with the above comment.

Everything is possible if you believe in it.There are gamblers who made millions and lived their dreams .Unfortunately ,the faster they became rich the faster they went broke .Shortcuts are dangerous .If you're having a job and as long as you gamble for fun ,gambling is fine but doing it for the living doesn't seem like a great idea.

im pretty sure there are also gamblers that made millions then learned to stop and being not greedy. not all shortcuts were dangerous :D it still depend on the gambler and its just a matter of discipline :D BUT i think gamblers like that were rare, but as you said, anything is possible :D

Gambling is just for fun, not to get real income from that.
Actually everyone want to win in gambling. So when you win, inplicitly you ruin other people lives. Opss

If there is losing or winning money, gambling can not be only fun. If you loose your money you will be sad for that. So where is fun? Funny things are containing only fun but not sad things.

Gambling for a living is highly inadvisable. I have never seen anyone earning a living through gambling. Martingale does not work when you will lose all your money eventually.

There are games that are not played against other players, but against the house. If you win you'll get money from them, and they won't be ruined because they usually win against poor players like you

Agreed with you but there must be very few gamblers who are successful and living on the income from gambling. I think that in a long run its not possible to win every time, there is no consistency in the income from gambling; there are also chances to loose your money. People who are full time involved in gambling are wasting their money and valuable time, they can live for short period but they can not survive in the long run by depending on gambling for living.

nope you cant most of people do this and up being broke and has a lot of debt.
earning some profit is possible but making a living out of it is impossible.
and for those who are saying that its possible you`ll end up owing a lot of
people and even if you won it wont last because you`ll probably go
back to the casino and bet on high stakes.

i think it can be possible to make a living from gambling alone. and that is why there is term called "professional gambler" and there are people who are doing it as a profession and make money this way.

but if you ask me, it is the worst idea, and a very bad way of earning money because one bad luck can ruin your life and lose a lot of money.

nope not at all.. it would be very very stressful .. as his life depends on his bets... its not nice to have whole day tension .. i would rather opt for small jobs.. this is just part time..

you'd be more likely to lose. Gambling usually favors the house.

Investing or trading is much safer, but also not guaranteed profit. But at least it's not a guaranteed loss.

I sort of disagree there.  It depends on your skill.  If you are able to read people in Poker, you are far more likely to gain profit from that then someone who knows nothing of trading.

I never can believe that someone may live with gambling. I want to not tell more because it is in vain. Who want to believe in this kind of dreams make with open eyes believe on those whatever word can be write. Who think and learn, understand that this things are only urban legends. I want to tell only that gamble make the people to wast money not only for the owners of gamble game/site/casinos but even to be recovered from the addiction from those.

Yes but it's extremely difficult - and requires a crap load of skill. You could make money out of poker/sports betting - which people have done before - but honestly with the time it takes to learn something like this properly you'd just be better off getting a degree and a job. There are a lot of people who try to make it to professional levels - but don't make it. Then there are stories of pros who spend a night in Vegas and find they have a natural knack for it.

No it dosent ,what do you think sports gambling is ?

what stops you from losing all of your trading investment ? nothing is absolute ...even your boss can fire you anytime ? more or less.

It is the loss of the money in the favor of the owner of the business which organize the betting (whatever kind of business it will be; online or offline).

Sports gambling also favor the house. Any form of gambling always favor the house that is why it is call gambling. Playing sports betting will also make you lose in the long term because the house edge is bigger but some people dont realize this . If you keep betting on favourites then you will lose in long term

Insurance is a kind of gamble. However, like other kind of gamble, it is designed to favour the insurers. But the insured get benefit from recovering from disasters

if you are playing gambling in casino, then i believe what you are telling is correct that you can live life , but if you are playing in sport betting then you can say that possible is their of living from gambling alone.

What is the difference between the casino gambling and sport betting? Are not both connected with luck? Or with need to earn more? This last make possible (or inevitable) the loss?

In the sport betting you can make an "easy" bet when it will be a match between a big team against a weak team. You have big probabilities to win. But never you can be sure. But lets suppose that you will win. If you win the amount will be very few if you bet few money. So to earn more with this kind of matches you need to bet big amounts. And again the amount earned will not enough to live with it. Even you will do to many of this bets yet the amounts earned can't be enough to live. To not suppose here that even can lose. One time of this kind of loss will cost you a lot of money. Because such must be the amounts of money used in such kind of bets. So one match wrong and you can leave all the earnings of the month. How can be possible to live in this way?

To live with betting in sport mean play big amounts and win big amounts. I explain above that the amounts with which you bet must be bigger, more easiest is the possibility to win. Because if you bet a little amount will earn very few; not enough to live with those.

What is the point. You will try to win with your money using bets with big amounts of money but in risky matches when the amount which can be earned is big. So you will risk. You will bet in difficult matches. If you do this you will lose all your money. Because even if you will win one day, you will lose tomorrow or another; can't win always. Or you will want to earn more and will bet all the earnings. One day will lose all. Is the same like in casino games.

To live with gambling it is impossible. Even if you have big amounts in disposition with which you can do various bets.

Gambling depends on luck, so it's not that possible you could make a living from gambling, you could lose at any time, furthermore, you could lose all instead of parts.

well i must agree with you, gambling depends on luck ( at least in most of the cases ), but there is some exceptions, just look the spanish family history called "pelayo", there is a film about it, they live pretty well playing gambling ;)

There are always exceptions to the rule.  The problem is most people live by that and try to do it over and over.  That can be very dangerous and put you in a hole you cannot recover from

Maybe this family is only one of the millions. Yeah there are some people play and earn very well from gamble but this number is not so much to say, everybody can live with only from gamble.

The gambling performance of that family is just an exception. Hundreds of million of people cannot live on gambling alone, apart from casino operator who provide entertainment service.

I haven't looked up their history, but i think it's pretty safe to assume that they either cheated, or their luck will be able to be explained by simple odds calculation...

flipping a coin always has a 50% chance of coming up heads.... It is very unlikely, but mathematically possible to flip a coin 30 times, and always come up heads... In fact http://calculator.tutorvista.com/coin-toss-probability-calculator.html tells me that the chance is about 1 in a billion. The world has 7 billion people, so if everybody on the world flipped a coin 30 times, on average, 7 people would flip heads 30 times, 7 people would flip tails all the time...

Gambling is always about odds, and the house always wins ;)

Yes, most of gambling providers are just entertainment provider not the wealth sharing services. We need to understand gambling is only for fun and pleasure activity not to make a income source as gambling income are not stable.

You can make a living from gambling, but more than likely it isn't playing slots, or games with a house edge.  It is more than likely going to be playing poker against other people that you can see and read. 

Gambling as known is a game, i am agree with you on the point that we can't live on gambling alone, there is always a risk to lose everything, so i prefer doing gambling just for fun, if there is then some profit, it will be welcomed

You can definitely live on a gambling profit salary.  As a matter of fact people do it all the time.  Look at professionals who gamble for a living and have millions of dollars.  I do agree just gamble for fun, but don't say it can't be done.

If you are a Pokerplayer yes you can live out of gambling, any other game that you play agains't casino not, u must play to other players and be better than them to live from it.

If you rely on luck-based gambling, do not assume you can live with that alone.
But you can survive on strategy-based games like poker and sportsbook if you manage your bankroll properly, and with luck on your winnings.

well only naif people seems to belive easy life easy money that does not exists into my world and gambling like drugs kills you in long term lol just for fun ould be better.

There are very very few people can live on gambling. Most people lose in long term. There might be 0.001% gambler can live on gambling alone.

I found these words from a newbie in another thread.
Let's stick to them.

you can make money on sports , but not with slots machine , they are totally rigged

stay away from slots machine and goodluck on your sports bets!

Similar to many people's experience, I also would say sports bet are some what safer when we considering other gambling plays. Sports bets are purely based on the players performance so there are lot of chances for winning based on your predictions.

I used to play online poker professionally for hmmm 4-5 years.  It was OK for the first year or 2 but then everything got harder and energy levels kept getting worse and worse as i became more unhealthy.  Looking back it would have been better to spend the time elsewhere.

Yeah actually one of my brothers friends were exactly like that and it would definitely take a toll on him that's for sure... But I guess once your that good, you want to make as much money as possible while you can

well it might be possible to do that though i wouldnt risk my money on it i mean even though its possible you will most probably loose

Totally agree with you. I think it's possible just too risky.

Maybe if you are professional poker player,but professional poker playes plays offline rather
Otherwise you can only loose

LOLwut?

Are you saying there are no professional poker players that play online? Who do you think sponsors/pays for their buy-ins to live tournaments. Where do you think most professional poker players got their start? Have you ever heard of site pros? They are well-known professional poker players who get paid by online poker sites to play on their sites to attract customers.

This is actually really true, the person I knew who I've told the story of a while back in this thread actually gets sponsors from those sites and other real poker players that pay his buy in with a percentage they get back... I'm actually pretty sure that he has found a way to continue gambling in the US because he's gotten pretty popular in the poker world, and I'm sure the websites that sponsor him find some lee way to get him to play on their site.

Relying on gambling as an only source of income is very unwise. The odds are always in the casino's favor. Get a job, gambling isn't one of them.

One could get a job in the gambling industry: in that case those wil be easy money. Because, as you said, the casino always wins!

lol so we apply job to gambling company and get easy money from them and our first salary get played in their casino so we can give back our salary to them easily too  :D . have you think if we get a job in gambling company would make us stay close to play gambling? i prefer gamble on sports it's very possible to make a living in long run.

No man, I'm sure if you'd have a job in the gambling industry you'd never put a cent into a casino!
Casinos always win and if you are part of them you'll always win.
 :)

okay let's says i got the job and already part of casino , is it make us getting a living from gambling? no absolutely no, it's seems like we licking casino's ass not act to gamble. OP talk about living from gamble not talk about licking gamble company  ;D . unlike if we build or create a casino / gambling company it is a big gamble.

If u consider gambling as ur job, than yes because u have to analyse a lot.

Do you think most of us can live on sports gambling? If that is the case, there will be no sports betting company.

I don't even think many people make a lot of money on sports betting.  It is really hard to predict the outcomes of games, especially since you have lines, odds and all that fun stuff.

Yes we can use martingale system in sports betting you know why? A team or a player are impossible to get straight lost in their 38 matches season right? You can pick that one team and make bet on it every week. And you can start your living.

True.However if you are dead stupid and don't want to get up your bed and utilize your lazy brains and not very surprising luck you can always have an option to gamble your way through.But yeah you never win at the end of the day .If they make you win ,they're sure they will take triple of that from you.

i believe it might be possible if you play for example a lotterie that you can buy for a small amount of money and you win millions from it though by playing in a casino you cant make a living im pretty sure

There are people who make their living from gambling. However they are very rare. Probably 0.1% and they most likely NEVER, EVER, gamble online. They probably do it in a real life casino. Gambling online is very different from the real world.

looks like a good idea specially right now the NBA season start and i think that's good stategy betting on my favorite team but i worry about the odds cuz it varies everytime. i still wanna do the strategy though as i can see it will be helpful

it is possible though i wouldnt recommend doing this to anyone as it would be really risky and one day you might loose all your money because of a small mistake

What is it about? What kind of system is it? Do you have any reference or link I could read?
Can you tell me more?
Just wondering.

i am not bet on NBA so much, mostly i bet on soccer, tennis and hockey. yeah you can try with small amount at first to test it working or not getting living from gambling. i would suggest to do not bet on your favourite team or player, it would make you not objective while make an analysis a match.


you can read all details here via wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

Ok thanks, just one thing: check the link you gave me it does not redirect to the correct page. Do it since other people might read that.

sorry i didn't use a hyperlink tag, so maybe you can copy paste the link below


i would't recommend you to use this method in another gambling games like dice, bj, etc. just do it in sports betting with some analysis sure. it should work if you did learn properly.

Martingale is a decent strategy, but keep in mind you can go bust quickly with it.  Even with sports betting.  The doubling up on loss is basically betting 10,000 dollars to win a 100 dollars in profit.  It can be dangerous so proceed with caution.

You can't get a reliable income from gambling, since all games are rigged in favor of the house.

As long as you are not the house, you'll lose.

The only form of gambling you can make a profit at is poker, but than you'd need to be better than the others at it. And even than the house makes profit from rakes.

True, I wouldn't use the word you will lose no matter what though..  You can definitely win but it takes a ton of luck in order to accomplish that.  In poker, even if you are skilled, you still need to have luck on your side in order to win.

I was only curious about the system itself: I don't think I am going to use that. But it was an interesting read.

You might win in a short term, which is mainly because of good luck. In long term, you will lose mainly due to the house edge, which is in favour of the house.

Agreed with you, all the houses are designed in such a way that you will win some small amount but in the long run you will 100 percent loose the money and you will be in debts. So as per me its not possible to live a good life from the income received from gambling.

Yes house edges are designed with that kind of mechanism.
It's not possible for anyone as gambling is only a luck based game where one can win a lot of money in one bet while one can lose all their money in one bet. Hence gambling should be done with an amount that one can afford to lose and should be played just for fun. It shouldn't be the only amount a person has. There have been cases where people have won a lot by gambling but that's because they risked an amount that's huge

An asteroid hitting Earth has a higher chance of happening than someone winning the lottery. There are millions of combinations in a 49-number lottery, so the odds of winning are ridiculously low. Casino would bust you sooner if luck isn't on your side.

Even an expert gambler experience ups and down.
So you cant say to get a living from gambling.

Depends on how short and long term that you mean. If you only bet a little bit like 0.0001 or 0.00001. You should make it in a long term and most people will do short term just doing yolo like hit it using 0.1 or 1 btc. But most of this yolo will lose and probably long run will sure earn a lot. But still it depends on your luck when you are gambling it no matter short term or long term

I would prefer start business from scratch until it bigger and bigger. Than just hope i can win lottery and get a lot of money.
A lot people cannot cultivate their money, when they got Big money. And lose all of it into gambling again..

Very Risky.
Gambling doesnt guarantees you income.Thats why dont go with gambling to earn living , i will call it a foolish plan.
There will be a point when you will fall into DEBT-TRAP

Gambling is a good way to enjoy and pass time. Just do not put too much money as stake. Do not expect to win to make a living.

Agreed with you, its not possible to live a good life from the money received from gambling. To live a good life everyone needs a fixed monthly or weekly income and its very difficult in gambling. There is no guarantee of fixed income so the life will be really difficult. 

Actually it is possible, you are wrong tons of people do it and have been doing it.

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/daniel-negreanu-net-worth/

50 million dollars, but yeah he probably isn't living a good life

From day one I think it's impossible. You require time to adjust your technique and gain some skill. You could to paper gambling to test it, but you still need some time with real money to test the control of your emotions etc.
But yes, if you are good, then you can live from it. But I think only in poker, trading and sports betting.

No paper gambling or paper trading or demo gambling/trading is very bad. Its easy to make money on paper. But very hard in real life.

There are people out there that do this and I know a few of them, but it is no longer a game for them  Making gambling a living takes away the fun of the game for them.  There is a lot of time and money that they have invested into learning how to make the games work in their favor. So yes it is possible if you really want to take the time to learn how to play the game and beat the odds.  Keep it as a game and have fun with it.

You can live from it, if you have a big start capital and loosing not too much :D

losing not too much is not guaranteed on gambling, so i think you are wrong :D being lucky will help you live with gambling, not the big capital.

Mathematically impossible.  ;D
You could maybe win for while but you'll always see that losing streak that wipe off your stash.

There are many people I know who live from profits solely from gambling. Most of my friends gamble for a living poker sports etc

you need to work on your math then. It's mathematically possible to win long term.

Okay so be lucky guys all day ! So you can live with gambling. To be a lucky guys you need to pray so much to the god.
So the most important to get living from gambling are pray to the god, be a holy man and then you get your straight lucky from the god  8)

This is the situation many gamblers still dreaming to active in some days. Gambling can give money for the living once that gambling turns into professional gambler after he made his skill set developed most suitable for their gambling.

what are you saying and where are you saying ? god dosent gives you luck ...its a situation where something is achieved by a chance,
not by the favour of god.

obviously god and luck sit in the same fictional group, which is all just rubbish. ignorance is a problem.

No they dont , luck is not fictional nor it is made up by humans unlike religion's ,it's a chance you might get it or not .
to make a living on gambling you got to be lucky not religious.

Luck, or you have to be good at what you are doing in a game where skill matters, like Poker.  Religion has nothing to do with gambling and hopefully the person that wrote that doesn't actually believe it.

I do not think it can.
Gambling must be considered as a game or just for entertainment. Not for get money.

You can see all people who play gambling most of the time, and ask to them did they get a lot money from that?

Yes, gambling is nothing to do with religion.  :D
Anyway religions not permitted people to gambling. And for logic reason, gambling also the way for waste your wealth.

I think it's possible to make a living, although it depends on how you want to make that living. If you want to win it in multiple bets, it's pretty hard. If your betting on sports, add long as you know your teams and you have deep pockets, you can. You can also make millions in a single dice roll on a dice site, if you're lucky. And by that I mean really lucky. And by that I mean REALLY lucky.

It is also a chance to increase your wealth 100x in negligible amount of time which comes with a probability to also lose it.
wherever you have a possibility to to win something ,it is not considered as waste.

Well said. The probability on the possibilities of making our wealth are losing wealth are 50-50 over gambling. So they cannot simply ignore gambling only considering the possibility of losing.

It is not possible to get a living from gambling alone. it is a very risky "investment" and you can loose any time. some time you will win big but sometime yo will lose big. so just invest in something else that will give you enough but sure constant returns. Thank you.

there are quite a few professional poker players who would disagree with your first statement ;D investments are a risk too, don't forget that. if some investment was truly 100% risk free and guaranteed profits, everyone would be pouring money into it, and no one would work, they would just live off of the returns from this nonexistant investment.

Lets say it is possible but sometimes you will end up losing because of the luck factor. Not every single your predcition will be accurate because this is gambling that based on luck not something that you can really calculate it

When there is  the influence of luck factor, then we can call it not suitable for definite earning. That is the reason gambling sometimes give more profit and sometimes use more losses. For a living out of one income source we must need a definite income all the time.

For most people, it is impossible to make a living from gambling. Even for sports betting, at least 50% of the gamblers will lose.

 No.

 totally you cant.

gambling is all about LUCK!

better work hard so you can get a living!

For us gamblers, gambling is all about lucky and house edge. We may win some times because of good lucky. We will lose because of house edge. If we play enough, we will lose.

Oh really? So please maybe tell me how can you prove this? Maybe share your source of some reputable scientific research where they find out that winning in the long run is indeed possible
Last time when I checked status of research of long term gambling it showed clearly that there is no way to win all the time and keep long wining streaks.

Although it is gambling but yes you workhard to earn back what you loss too to get a living so it is the same too. The only difference is about your risk, high rish high gain so people start to gambling to take risk win more but most people dont know how to stop it thats why they lose

The question here for you long ? What is your financial security in life ? I'm sure the gambling services don't offer any benefits or life insurance polices .So why gamble when you're life is more secure in a minimum low payout job ? You're in profit if you have a medical insurance or pension polices by your company.

Because if you are a full time gambler odds are you are very rich because of it.  Odds are you won't make that kind of money at a job so that is why people do it.

When you say gambling services don't offer any benefits,, do you mean the gambler? A gambler has to earn everything himself. When we are employed by other employer, we EARN all the benefits, those are not given to us for free.

It is almost impossible to win every single game from gambling. Even if you manage to win almost all your games, you need to be discipline to follow your bet stake and not spend your profit in other areas.

its most probably not possible because all casino games have a house edge and if you play there you will nearly always loose in a long run

Yes it is not possible to win it but with martingale you can get what you loss by double it so let say you bet 0.1 and you will actually win it if you have enough balance to recover your loss. With this I think you can get good amount from gambling

i strongly believe that make a living just from gambling is possible but there are some lucky people who win vast amounts of money on poker

i read article with video about gambling and its really possible
if im right the video i watch was about two people gambling full time
i just forgot where ive watch it they watch football everyday and make a bet around 3-4 times daily

It is really tough to beat the casino but it is possible.  People out there do it and though it requires great luck to actually accomplish this, it is posible.

It is possible to live on gambling, but it is only for very skilled professionals. For ordinary people like us, we gamble only for fun, not to earn a living from it.

This is a good strategy if the casino does not have a limit on stakes. If you put 0.1 initially, and you lose 7 times, you have to put in 25.6 as a stake next time. The casino might not let you do it. Even if you win, you win only 0.1 in total.

Martingale is not a good strategy, trust me.  Casinos have thought of this.  They know about it, they are aware.  Most casinos have something called a maximum bet and so you can only lose 5-6 hands in a row.  Well, that streak happens a lot no matter what you are playing so you will just be broke.

It is possible to beat the casino some times. You can win very big in several occasions. But if you keep on playing with the luck based random games, you will lose in long term. That is the reason why there are still operating casinos.

I think that living from gambling is possible at best in 50%, but this is not enough for normal life
Although, which work brings security

You can achieve probably something like semi-stable income from some of the games if you are really really good. I think mainly of Poker. Other casino games are not good.
Yet gambling career is not really path I would choose and recommend. If you are not totally awesome poker player just don't do it. Keep gambling as a hobby at most.

Casinios always wins, sometimes a few people get luck and are watched closely by them.

Like what occasions? Every gambling is depends on luck, you can get some profit or not depends on your luck not some event like that. And with that kind of event you will lose much more than usual

You can't rely on luck for a living, so gambling should not be your main income, that's simple.

The gambling is based on the chance. You do not know if you will win or not in the next round. It is not a reliable source of income. It is better to find a proper job.

For some lucky people, gamble can be use for living and purchase anything you want include girl  ;D
Here's the lucky people for example : https://instagram.com/danbilzerian/?hl=en

Ofcourse most people have to loss since this is the risk of chance and house edge

heheh nice example, you could say drug abuse among girls and money, they all came in the package.

It is possible to make a living gambling.  The secret is to always only make wagers on outcomes that have a POSITIVE expected value.  Never, deter from that approach.  Gamblers make money on those who make wagers on outcomes that have a NEGATIVE expected outcome.

One of the tricks that I use: carry with you a small notepad and a pencil and write down the names of all the people you associate with and record what sports team of which they're a fan.  Constantly, have an awareness of the sports lines and when those people on your list are in your presence, start talking smack about they're opponents.  Get them hyped and they will usually make an uninformed wager with you based on their loyalty to their team...make sure that you shave some points from the line to insure you're getting a POSITIVE expected value.  You could also, using the same technique, place some wagers on the opposing team, getting them hyped, and shaving points!  With a comprehensive fan list and relatively small amounts of liquidity, you can make decent profit.

The trick to making a living gambling is to always, ALWAYS, place wagers where the odds are in your favor.  A high volume of wagers with positive expected value will usually yield a profit; however, there is always a chance of getting stung by variance so proper bankroll management is necessary. 

ALWAYS CREATE AND MAKE WAGERS WITH A POSITIVE EXPECTED VALUE....cards, sports, EVERYTHING!  High volumes of wagers with positively expected value is key, so be proactive!  Being proactive means looking for the dummies and manipulating them into taking an irrational wager!  That's how it works!  The dummies lose and the sharps win!  Be sharp!

If you mean online gambling then no but you can actually live off it if you actually go to a casino

I think it is possible to make a living of gambling it might take a while to build up your bankroll and if you stick to close odd bets it is entirely possible. On top of that once you are winning regularly you could even sell your tips to the likes of people on twitter or something similar like a monthly membership where you provide daily tips

even an expert gambler experience ups and down , so you cant say to get a living from gambling

basic of gambling is luck although there is a person has good experience for gambling but doesn't mean would win and never lose
but it's possible also to make a living from gambling if any person has good skill for gambling and lucky

of course its not possible to make a living from gambling, you need to be extremely lucky in order for such thing to happen and most probably you wouldnt be lucky enough, i wouldnt risk my money for that, though that is just my opinion

if you are an expert poker player i think its really possible to do, if you gamble on poker games and you are a professional you can make a lot of money as there are such people who already did it like Dan Bilzerian

Well some poker profesional there job is playing the game.
But of course is true you need to be lucky and with skills.

That is my dream to just play some gambling for a living.

You can make a living from gambling, probably sports betting but it is hard to and most people can't.
Some cappers can make a living off gambling. If it was easy to, no one would run a gambling site.

its not possible, and never will be possible because people can not make that much money because of the house edge that all the dice websites and casinos have, thats why i avoid casinos

You need tremendous luck as with almost all gambling there is a certain percentage of luck needed to prevail.

You know that it is actually more profitable for gamblers to play online due to lower House Edges of some online casinos?
There are some Dice sites offering 0.1-0.17 House Edge on Dice, occasionally you can catch a promotion and play for a short time with 0% HE.

I know a couple of professional gamblers. It's poker and sports though, not the total casino of most crypto stuff. They rely on skill and study, not crossing your fingers.

I dont think that is possible, because when you talk about gambling you talk about luck, there is nobody that get lucky everyday

so getting a living by gambling it is like gambling with your own life, you are betting the safety of your life

Yes, many gamblers earn a lot from gambling or sports betting whether it's not impossible to build an income from gambling and earn a living from gambling are questions which seem to bother many gamblers.

I am a gambler, but really can't make a living from it. I always fall short, the only thing I can get from gambling is pleasure. nothing more.

If you compute what was lost from you and what you've win in gambling, you can see the difference. It always comes out that your chances of winnings are smaller. except if you are " lucky ", and there are people who are very lucky in gambling that they keep on winning which is amazing.  :)
