Do you guys think professional gamblers life is very good? Because I read many time members are telling professional gambles can make regular income.

I don't think so professional gambler life will be glamorous because they always will be thinking of what they can do next game and that thinking comes then one can't have a peaceful or glamorous life. Unless one win big money and never turn up for gambling but just enjoy his life then we can say their life is good or glamorous.

Yes, the life of the professional gamblers is glamorous but I think it is only for short period of time till they are making good profit from gambling. I don't think that its possible for every professional gambler to make regular income, there are many example in front of us that many people's life has been destroyed because of gambling.

I don't think it will last for even few days because once one make some money then they they got the luck or trick to win so finally lose everything very fast

The life of a professional gambler is not a glamorous one. It will not be the same as shown on television. He has too many things to worry.

I thinks so because they have more experience in gambling. They know a lot of technique but on the other hand still their are pro gamblers lossing because in gambling theres no straight winning still their is a time that they will loss continously.

Professional gamblers are often out of the limelight and need to know when to stop gambling before they loses their capital. There are some people who can count cards in casino blackjack but they are often disliked by casinos.

i guess yes but not all and only for the person who be champion major tournaments because i heard the prize of the tournaments is very huge

Usually a Professional Gambler will be studying to find his next strategy or improve upon his own. Sure they can make good money, but they can also lose huge amounts of money.

I only say this because there have been a couple stories popping up about people doing the fantasy football gambling online. Sure you can make money, but you have to be full time dedicated towards it.

yes,his life can be glamorous if he has some nice connections or else he is on the same track with some added experience .
many professional gamblers win millions out of cheating .

A regular gambler may turn professional gambler but does not mean he is not making huge amount money to make his life so glamorous. Most people gamble to recover their losses or for life style. But in time they seems as professional gamblers.

maybe ,but the possibility of that happening is way too low to consider it .
people starting from scratch and going all the way to professional gambling and living a glamorous life is not a general case.
professional gamblers have different cheating styles .

What do you mean by glamorous?  From what I can tell they have tons of stress put on them daily.  Imagine knowing you have to earn your money by gambling.  They have to grind lots of hours and hopefully in the end they don't get a bad beat or something.  Yes you can make a living by doing it, its just a tough job.

I think they live glamorous time to time.  :P Also i know that a lot of players who win jackpot after it have a lot of problems in life (ills for example)...

professional gambler might have not enough money for a living so i dont think that gamblers have to live a glamorous life though its just my opinion

i believe their life is glamorous as they earn more money than other people can imagine consequently they can afford many things they want or need

i dont think so you might loose at any time in your life if you make a living with gambling as it is unpredictable one day they might be rich and other broke

well again only profesional poker players can make a living by gambling.
everyone else (dice players,bj players,etc) will lose eventualy.

I don't think that there is any such thing as "professional" dice or blackjack players though, as those games are luck based and you can't really be good at being lucky, and those games have a house edge so you will lose eventually.

A professional gambler playing in tournaments may be a happy person. All those interviews and spotlights... I mean if you like the attention you'll fit right in.
But there are also professional gamblers who are just addicts. They live in casinos on drugs and vodka and live to play.

this is true but they usually make a profit off of their "jobs". I'm not completely sure if it can be long-term but they can get reputation off of it and translate that into cash flow

I'm pretty sure  well known 'pro' gamblers make most of their money away from gambling, like advertisements and promotions for casinos or anything. Gambling is just so risky to consider as 'primary income.'

That is 100% correct, all these casino houses want to attract new people to gamble so they will promote all these kinds of professional gamblers and publish news now and then saying they won big money and many people will inspire of that news and will start trying their luck as well and finally casino will make more profits. So gamble but carefully

I would think being a professional gambler would be a really stressful life. Not knowing if you can win the next day in order to win enough to eat.
That kind of life would make you be on edge all the time.
Gambling to me is you win you get out because you will lose eventually in the long run.

Yes those are gambling house tricks trap many new gamblers so they will publish some one has win very big amount and all other small fishes will fall on their trap.

I have never heard of a celebrity gambler or a famous one who has ben earning money all life, so obviously no gambler will have a glamorous life specially when they tend to lose money too.

famous gamblers and to be specific poker players have a great life , simply they can do whatever they want to do
the markets that sponsor poker players are enough to pay them good amount of money to have a great life just by advertising the company

i will make my first million dollars from gambling

It sounds like a delusion, anyway how will you make it? Do you have a guaranteed winning strategy?

Its a delusion only. There isn;t a guaranteed winning strategy with which you can make a million dollars without risking it all. He will likely lose a million on it.

The most successful gambler may continue his gambling as part of his life style he will never concentrate on new skill developments. But the main thing is that professional gamblers will have a glamorous life style. In my opinion all the professional gamblers are not successful.

No. You have to work really hard, you have a lot of stress and you have to sit on the computer all day.

Being a professional gambler is great while your making money, you might even like the things I mentioned above but "glamorous" is not a word that describes it.

Exactly. All professionals have to work hard to earn their living. They need to spend a lot of time to learn the skills in their profession. This is a boring process.

I am not a professional gambler but did spend over a decade trying to be. Gambling is an addiction just like drugs you spend almost all your waking time gambling. You lose you think what to play or who can lend you money to play again. You win you think your god and eventually you will hit a wall. Gambling is a very tough life not like what you see in the cinema.

Not all professional gamblers, including people who just make a living from gambling, necessarily need or even want a glamorous life or to live a lavish lifestyle.

Many successful long term profitable/professional gamblers are happy just being their own boss, not having to answer to anyone except themselves and the taxman, being able to "work" whenever they want or not "work" whenever they want.

Many don't need/want 20 luxury cars, a yacht in each ocean or six mansions in six different countries. There are professional gamblers who are satisfied with just being able to pay their monthly bills, health insurance, car and house payments kid's tuition, groceries, going out on the weekends, vacation/holidays, etc, etc.

I met a professional poker player on a cruise ship who was in her 50's who just enjoys just hanging out with her friends and traveling the world. Nothing crazy extravagant or "glamorous." And she didn't seem very stressed out to me.

It's basically an addiction, there will be times of great lows along with the highs, although you could be steady and make regular income if you were a poker player with a steady head.

Do you think the life of a professional gambler is a glamorous one?

Depends how good they are I suppose :D

Every professional gambler will eventually bust in the end.. maybe? Because gambling is addicted and make us greedy. Try to chase back the losing..

I think addiction is actually what separates professionals from the bums. Even the best of the best lose, but the ability to cope with loss and not allow it to get to your head is a lot of what defines who the best out there are.

Not really. The "Newbie" gamblers will get greedy :p

So wrong, I agree gambling makes people greedy and people can get addicted to it.  It doesn't apply to everyone though.  You can also win a lot of money gambling and be up over a long period of time

You could also be on the other end of the scale and lose everything house wife kids cars yacht restaurant and be eating out of the garbage cans on the street mumbling to yourself.

They can ,they do ! At the same time many had to sell their houses,pillows,wives,kids ,towels or whatever has some amount it.People has lost their entire life earnings in one day on gambling.On the brighter side ,it takes poor to rich worth million dollars in one day!Professional gamblers are just like average hard working software engineers or any other working class guy ,playing it safely.

it might be as professional gamblers usually earn a lot of money so they can buy nearly anything but it is still very risky in my opinion

Yes that is like i also think like that gambling is always risky it might be glamorous for some time but in long run everyone lose so i don't think it can be perfect life be a professional gambler.

it should be i believe as far as i know gambling games usually bring a lot of money for professional players but its risky

A professional will always live better than what I'm living now, so for me, glamour or not he does standout when you see him/her.

Well if they are really good in gambling then yes, their life is glamorous. If they suck then they are probably not winning a lot so I don't see how good can they live.

You know, even if they are professional, not everyone is good in what they are doing. I mean not all of professional gamblers are good gamblers that are winning most of the times.

I believe everything they show people via tv,internet and magazines about professional gamblers is just paid advertisement designed to be appealing
to potential new customers. There's little luck when one is creating wealth, and gambling is almost entirely luck based if you play vs the house.
Even some of the great gamblers admit that they get paid just to be recorded and seen gambling in popular casinos.

yeah glamour, I often see gambler soccer bet, he exhibited wad of dollars and luxury cars
it is very easy to earn money, because fixing soccer score

professional gambler can make a very small risk of gambling
example when betting football, professional gamblers set a score to win, the possibility of losing is very small

for me I think people shouldn't only focus on gambling , I'm studying and trying to be the best poker player I can be
I just want to do many things in life , poker isn't the only thing so I agree with you that gamblers should develop other skills
the glamorous life actually depends also on the community , here people look to gamblers as jerk but actually I don't care cause I'm not planning to stay in my country  ;D

you better leave such a cultural or close-minded country, why wouild you simply call gambler's a jerk ?
just negative mindset....
gamblers are glamorous by nature,the risk takers.

A professional gambler could earn a lot of money during short period. But he can still lose it in one go. It's a very risky business.

It's not bad to be a professional gambler, especially if we are talking about betting. If the gambler knows how to properly manage bankroll and has lots of time to gather information about matches, it's not that hard to get living only from gambling. Yeah, you gotta be smart, but... Everything is possible and in your hands.

Yeah we all know that even a professional can take a risk playing gambling because of greedyness. But if we think wise if you gain a lots of winning just make a decision wise or think smart.
