Hi Everyone..!!!

Why are you gambling,  you do it for gambling a living or a living for gambling?
Please share your opinion.
Thanks in advance.

If any one gamble for living or living for gambling then they we be in a deep shit of problems because no one can win money from these gambling for long time. Unless some one gambling for time pass or just for fun for some times then that should be Ok but if any on take it as a profession then most likely they will end up in a deep shit. I usually bet on sports some times.

actually i didn't do it both because i do a gambling only for fun because i realized gambling will ruin my life if i doing it too much

Gambling is for some entertainment for a short period of time. It should not be used as tool for living and worse still living your life for gambling. There is the house edge which will give the house an advantage in the long run.

Are you serious no one  on take it as profession to making money from gambling?

But if you win a jackpot, you can't stop to play gambling. Maybe..

As practice shows, who won a jackpot definitely loses everything then and starts new a losing streak. It's a life. Gambler can't become investor with a brain.

And why should do both of these? I dont think this is making any sense since you have proper work and gambling to earn more and not lose too much is usual. I dont think there are many people gambling for a living. And living for gambling? What is the point? You living just to waste all your money there without getting anything back, except you got tons of money to be spared there that is another problem :D

I think this is like the 6th thread exactly for this topic. Search this forum, probably somewhere on the first or second page and you will find that this was already discussed.

Lock this thread down. i've found the threads you can read all the opinions/share your opinion . ;)

I don't live with gambling money, but with surebets with betfair and italian bookmakers, i earn 300-500 euro every month, working 3-4 hour for day ( in the weekend more) and not have chance to lose, but request 5000 and more euro deposited to all site  ;D

In my opinion the only people who should be gambling for a living are professional poker players!
Everyone else should just gamble for fun with money they can afford to lose

As far as I know there are many thousands of people around the world who make a good living exclusively from gambling. It is not easy, but it can be done from some tricks or luck.

I play poker and bet on sports for a living now.

i doubt that you can make a living from gambling but you also cant live just because for gambling as you will go broke and never have any money

I just gamble for fun. that's just it! I don't live to gamble neither gamble to live... I simply enjoy gambling, especially Poker.

At least I can say that I have won much more than I have lost while gambling.

Definitely not living for Gambling  8)Can gamble to live so that I can work out better lifestyles,big dreams and stuff like that .But i can live a life without all that as well as living one's life is a subjective matter and dependent on all of the external factors like gambling,money etc

i do it to earn as much money as possible though im usually not that lucky to do it but i have a dream to win a jackpot one day

I can't say I'm gambling for a living, I'm very far from that. The maximum amount I won from gambling in one day was around $20, so, obviously, with my luck at least, you can't live from gambling.

But I can't say I'm living for gambling either, because I find real life much more interesting than gambling. I do gamble for fun sometimes and I enjoy it, but am I living for it? ... No.

Yes that completely makes sense as why we should rely on the luxurious of gambling to make our lives beautiful?There is much above gambling to which money cant buy.

I'm gambling (poker, sport betting/middles/arbitrages) for a living last 7-8 years.
And it's f*cking hard. But at least I have my time whenever I want.

 Gambling for a living or a living for gambling not in my case,i am putting relativelly small money what i can afford,but last time i am noticed that if i want to besuccesfoul in beting i have to learn ,so i learn

i like to gamble really much though i dont rely on gambling too much i must say as i earn most of my money from working in my job

I want to live for gambling, cause I know I will never be the opposite.

Both of the options are equally terrifying. Why would anyone in their sane mind devote significant portion of their time just on gamble?!
Gambling/betting should be considered at the best a hobby, nothing more than to kill time and have some fun with responsible amounts of funds.
Forget about HR and winning jackpots, statistically , the odds are definitely not on your side; there's a reason why there are so many casinos/dice sites.

Very small percentage of gamblers can do it as a living. Should just be for fun. Without a steady income, it's easy to fall into a degenerative gambling state.

Why are there 80 threads with the exact same premise?  Can't there just be one "why do you gamble" thread and all of you people can spam your penny sigs there?

I now and then gamble (Dice) for fun and use only faucets. I sometimes try to multiply a faucet enough to make it transferable, but I haven't succeeded yet. The first time I played Dice (just several weeks ago) I managed to turn 200 sats into 20000 sats. Took me just half an hour, and I thought I could easily do that again and go for 2 million sats, or 0,02 BTC. Yes, I was convinced I could make a considerable amount of money out of faucets, but after a while the fact of the 1% advantage for the House came around the corner and turned my balance into a nice 0. It was a fun experience though ... !

I gamble for fun, 99.9% of people who tell you they gamble for a living are either liar's or soon to be broke :)

Yes i also for fun  ;D some people get a lot of money from gambling but believe sooner or later all will be lost
I never use private money to gamble, just money from sigcampaign, giveaway, and all free  :D

Gambling for a living is only possible if you have such a ridiculously high bankroll and are so good at playing odds on sportsbooks or esports betting that you should really be spending your time doing something else and making even more money. Unless you are crazy with matched betting and take full advantage of it, in which case maybe it's possible, but usually it's just for supplementary income.

I gamble for fun, and the advantage of that is if you get lucky you can get out of it with a good buck.

Reminds me of the days when people would gamble on BitVegas for fun, with drinks and the VIP lounge...ah, those were good times. Now it's just people using a bunch of alt accounts to try to milk faucets all day long.

Mind you, that happened on BitVegas as well.

That should be fine as long as one don't target to win money from gambling then they most likely know when to exit the gambling but if one gamble to win certain money then if they lose initially then they will try to recover that money and at the end they will lose more money. So no one will be successful if they target to live for gambling or gambling for living. Just gamble for passing time.

Well I mean the whole idea of gambling is that it's supposed to be for fun, the idea of gambling is actually not to make a profit. If you go into gambling simply looking for a profit then you're asking for trouble. If you go into these websites instead looking to have a good time, be social and interact (mainly on sites with a chatbox), then it's much better. That's why BitVegas was amazing - an interactive world (even with it being in Minecraft) where you could see people, talk to them, buy them drinks and go to a VIP lounge? That's fun. That's the idea.

Gambling is not for a living or a living for gambling. Gambling is not indispensable part of life. It is just a kind of entertainment, a way to pass time. However, we have to pay for gambling as most of us will not win.

I cannot do both because they will just destroy your life. Better invest somewhere else where i would have slow but sure return. If is to gamble then I do it for fun. I dont let it control my life in per-suit of easy money because easy is not usually easy. it can cost your life dearly

Waw.. you can share tips and trick for it?
I think no problem to deposit 5000 euro to all site. If  it can profits 300-500 euro every month

I don't do any of those.
If I have some extra cash I prefer to invest it in some low-risk investments and watch my money grow.

I would look into reading poker strategies and perfecting your skillset. Practice as much as you can and perhaps you can be a good texas hold em player.

I can't live without gambling.
I know gambling is for fun but for me gambling is the one way to raise your life for being poor.
That's why im still hoping to get the jackpot price in 6 digit lottery..
4 days ago i won in 4 digit lottery but its a little bit low jackpot price..

I have a cousin that makes a living off of playing poker. He does not make a ton of money but it is his passion.

Oh hey, man it's been long. Didn't think you'd still be around here. And yeah, Bit Vegas was great, shame it dissapeared.

You could gamble for a living if you cheat the casino or either play poker since is a game were not only luck but skill ... and yes most of the people is living for the gamble.. that's sick because they do not only ruin they'r life but family and loved ones.

But you need some balance to play gamble, without any balance you can't continue your gambling game and it is a risk to use all your money just for gambling, when you win it is good but when you lose you will lose everything and keep being poor forever

If do you like to play gamble, please control your money and yourself is the first need in gambling to survive
You now, not always can a luck to play.

Most of us cannot gamble for a living as we do not know how to cheat and cannot cheat. Most of us also do not have the skills to win in skill games such as poker. Casinos live on gambling as they provide the gambling service. They deserve the profits.

I don't live with gambling,
because gambling make me don't live  ???

You really don't need to cheat to win with gambling, unless you're trying to game luck-based games. Also skills like playing poker are very learnable, not something you naturally get.

I live for gambling, because it is fun and currently the only activity that entertains me.

I can somehow try gamble for a living, but it's really risky to be honest as the house always wins, so no.

Do not spend too much time for gambling..  :)
Live is an adventure, enjoy it, and be better person every single day.

When i used to play poker online professionally it was always gambling for a living which isnt as much fun unless you are extremely successful.  Always suggest you just gamble mostly for fun with small stakes, if bigger things comes your way then judge that at the time what to do.

That is really sad to read. I know many people who don't have much income play lottery or other stuff and hope for the jackpot and being able to retire.But how big is the chance? The chances are incredibly low. And most of the time you will pump your money in a black hole.And even with a 4 digit lottery win as you said yourself it's hardly worth it.
I myself really just gamble for fun and always with low amounts of money.Before I start I set myself a limit for that evening.And when this limit is reached I stop.No excuse!

Quite good method to play gamble for fun. Set small money in evening (1day) and if it lose, then it all lose. If it's win, then it;s win for that day. Tomorrow is new small set money.

For BitMaxz, don't think like that dude. Gamble in any games (card, dice, slot, lottery, roulette, casino, sport books) is just for entertainment.
Nobody force you to play..

I neither do any of the options. I gamble sometimes but just for fun and maybe some extra btc,but I always play smartly.  ;)

Yeah, my gambling's focus ia gambling for living. When I have money, surely I will spend it for living or investation to reward myself


Sometimes when you're lucky enough , gambling will make more living and more will come.

i just do gambling for fun i use the money i get in for signature campaign and i try to gamble to make more but it always end with a sad ending XD  that is all :P

if youre losing every time, youre just wasting time. try not gambling away whatever you get next time and save it up for something nice.

making a consistent income from gambling requires some impossible degree of luck, or more commonly, a fair amount of skill in a game with some degree of skill involved, such as poker.

my country don't accept bitcoin and it is very hard to buy from online market for now i'm waiting for a neteller card to try buying someting from internet i maked 35$ worth bitcoin and i win 60$ from gambling and transfered in my account if it will work i will stop gambling and try to do something usefull with bitcoin ;)

Gambling kills life skills.

I really don't think you should Gamble at all, unless you want to do it for fun. Sane people Gamble for fun, and winning for them is just a side thing.

You are insane if you do it to make money. Sure, you can make a couple of bucks, but this small profit will get you hooked into losing hundreds even thousands.

Hi, I don't really gamble anymore but when I did and do the only reason I do it is to have fun playing poker.

Hats of to the guys who are disciplined and knowledgeable enough to do it for a living  :D

Those who live to gamble must lead very unhealthy and lonely lives. 

i doubt that its ok to live for gambling i believe gambling should be only for fun not for making a living out of those money

Yeah need some balance. I already divided my savings and for gamble. 90% for savings and for foods ,bills and renting apartment and 10% for gamble.
10% i use it to buy lottery tickets.
My sources where can earn few bucks from repairing cellphones and laptops..
So i have 10% only for gamble and its just a 10% compare to win a jackpot.
I'm still have a savings i dont use it all to lose my money into gamble. i have self control and having a smart decision I never lose all my money into gambling if i do that and every thing is lost i cannot pay for rent bills and also for everyday foods.

I don't do any of them really. I'm not skilled enough to gamble for a living, and I know my limits very well so I don't live for gamble.
I gamble as a hobby, and I get enough for holidays or small things. I think I do it for fun, but it helps I'm winning something lol, I don't think I would see gambling as something funny if I did not win something xD

If a person has gambling is the only developmed quality, all his life he will be looking for how to apply it and he'd be lucky if he does, but it is better to use gambling playing sports games.

if gambling for both I think our lives will be broken. you better do it just for fun, so it would be better as I do :)

None of it. Gambling for fun actually.

for me I play poker both for having fun and living , here the avg monthly salary is so low so I can make a living only by playing micros
also poker for me is like a hobby , just like chess or any other game or sport
I like it the most and I'm trying hard to be better and better

Its true but some of them are really playing it for fun but there are people that make a living used those money and it works for them so I dont think that is a bad idea to start a living with those money since it is like your hardwork to earn them too

gambling for fun is good, it doesn't matter if we lost the money which we can lose, but for living money, it is dangerous to bet them, if lost, we don't have money to live, unless you have skills, like poker and sports betting strategies, you can live for gambling cause there are lots of professional poker players and sports bettors.

i agree
live life with nerves and fear of losing what you work for?
not for me

I play gambling for fun but i say Gambling for a living.

i play poker and blackjack sometimes and also i do a sport betting some people says gambling will be addicted if i do it with very often
but i'm never considers gambling will ruin my life so i think i will choose Gambling for a living because i'm enjoyed when i'm do it

Whoever think that they can make living from gambling will regret their decision.
Why? because he/she surely can be more prosperous and happier if they can have a real business and make profit from it.

Everyone must live fur much more things than gambling. Everyone must not gamble at all. The most two important consequences which can have someone who gamble in long term is loss of all him's money (profits + own money) and addiction. This mean ruin of your wealth and family and ruin of your health. This kind of thread which put gambling in the center of the life of the people are the most bad think made to do publicity to this evil. Anyone who gamble must know that if it is addicted (cannot stay without gamble) must find a good doctor to become healthy again and to discover again the right pleasures of the life.

Gambling is just for fun, a kind of entertainment in our lives. It is possible to make a living by gambling, but that is not for most people in the world. If you treat gambling as watching film or clubbing, you will be happy.

I think that u simply can't live from gambling, it is for fun and sometimes profit, but mostly u loose all ur money. That is why Iplay with small amounts :)

As long as you bet small in gambling. Let's say 1 satoshi. [ 0.0000 0001BTC ]
Believes me, you will lose a lot from transaction fee

What are you even talking about? what does transaction fee and betting small has to do with his comment? Did you even read it?

I gamble from time to time with the money my signature campaign bring me directly on the site. I was in profit with a few mBTC earnings, but I recently dropped a lot in my ration  :-\. So gambling it's the end of gambling for me for a little time.

So in my case it's more living for gambling ;D. I'm not addicted at all, I do this for fun, and even a 1000 satoshis win make me happy ;) !

Nice i do gambling just for fun time to time almost daily on a very famous site where is chance to 999X with same bet amount so that i can say that i am living for gambling. :D

you will get trouble if you have thinking Gambling for a living or a living for Gambling because you will spend almost your time for gambling and just wait gambling will wreck your life

its not ok to spend your life time to receive some money and then gamble it all and most probably loose as it wont let you progress

If you would be gambling for a living, it would be like a job so it would be ok I guess. You can't really say it was ruining any ones life, we all need to earn some money I guess, there is no problem if it comes from gambling as long as you are good at it.
As for living for gambling I totally agree with you, but that would be a problem with almost anything thing. You can't really live for a thing I guess.
Many small things must be part of your life, but I can't say you are living for any of them, it's the other way around I guess.

<Maybe you shoudl watch the video where a guy went all in on a roulette table for black or red, and ended up winning. Pretty awesome since he put his lifetime incomes on the line.

I am sure a lot of people do this who are depressed or frustated with life, to get that happiness.

That is just insane, I don't think he got any happiness after it. He probably got the relief sensation that after doing a very stupid thing he got a second chance and now can get help. If he lost I think he would get the same feeling of relief, but on this case that he got to the bottom and now should et help.
If he did not do that, then I think he just kept on the path of destruction, either after he won or lost.

Maybe, but it was like 400K , and I am sure he would have been happy and relieved after that :P
Losing it all would obviously would have sucked. Not a lot of people can pull that off. 

What is fun with 1000 satohsi bet? If you are saying living for gambling I dont think you would enough for betting that little amount? It is really wasting your time and sure your money too because you didnt have anything to risk

I do not agree with both, it will ruin your life.. I would agree if the gamble just to have fun :)

yeap ,both of them are hardcore gambler's cause one is not studying /working but gambling for basic needs and the other one is is literally living for gambling. It shouldn't be that far ,I cant accept either of them.

first option . we do all for living

yes if you make a living through gambling, I am concerned when everything is lost. when they are addicted they will borrow money to continue gambling, and in the end they really lost everything and did not have anything else.

What is good it is that I'm feeling lucky. If I win 1000 satoshis or 1 mBTC, that's the same, since it won't last a long time ;). It's better to lose little amounts. When I said that I was living for gambling, I meant that I was losing money (not a lot), so that can be living from gambling.

Yes that is true. Gambling should be ok for just fun or passing good time but if any one use gambling to make money for living then they will be in a deep problems. So I don't think both options good for any body but you can add like gambling for fun should be fine.

It is better to play with small amount each time. The main purpose in gambling is to enjoy the process, not just winning the bets. To be realistic, most of us cannot win all the time. So just enjoy with small stakes. In this way, the gambling process will last long time and we enjoy the gambling for long time.

well people the gambling its like saying i double your money in a 49% chance or i satay with all your money into a 51% chance and that its risky investment for a living you need work to stable the profits not gambling for a living you lose your respect to society if you dont stop

This might be the a situation of living for gambling. Gambling can be enjoyed but an expensive entertainment way. Bitcoin is not free money, so spending bitcoin lavishly in gambling is not a wise idea. I do gamble for some profit as well as for the pleasure of gambling. I always bet in small amount

It is just based on the lifestyle of our living. Many people are doing gambling for their food and many people are doing gambling just for fun of the part of their lifestyle. In my opinion gambling should not be considered for both.

You are very lucky,  can living for gambling.
What do you play in gambling? Dice, poker, betting sports or other?
You just play for fun, but can a get profit always.

Looks like dice. But he isn't using gambling as a way to make a living, in fact I believe very few have done so. However, some sites does offer a faucet which allow users to withdraw if the balance is above a certain amount. If you always claim and bet at high multiplier, you can earn some little profit.

I wonder why people don't get that life is not always black or white. Not all people are immune to the thrill gambling offers, but most of them don't become addicted.
There's not as many crazy all in gamblers as you might think.

Not everyone is addicted, but by nature gambling is very addictive and many people are susceptible to it. It's not the same as being addicted to a chemical like Nicotine from smoking, but when you win a bet you get some excitement, chemicals get released and you're happy. But say you start betting with very low amounts like 0.01 BTC, and you win big on low odds you will keep wanting to bet higher amounts or on way lower odds so you can get bigger winnings and get more good feelings from it. Atleast that's how it went for me.

I would say gambling is same because when you have winning streaks then your mind is some type of mesmerize and your mind release same chemical which don't let you stop at some point.That feeling when you want to keep playing even with thought that you can loose but nothing helps you to stop and take your winnings.I say because this happened to many people including me many times.

i just said that. can or not, it's depends on you. nothing is impossible in gambling. you can a get big win or you can lose all your bitcoin/money.

A living for gambling is best and suits on us as life is also a gamble.What I do believe is go for big or go home.Gambling for living is not good because only professional gamblers can get living from gambling and usual players always loose.

Gambling is fun as long as we are not addicted and let it affect our lives. We can use a small amount of living expense to entertain ourselves through gambling and have some fun.

What is the point of living if all your money is just for gambling? You can say that because may you are not have family yet but someone who already have family wont even all in their income just to win like that. Lets say if you win, you can really buy many things but how about if you lose? You wont have any money to live. I guess gambling for living is better because they still need money thats why they wont be greedy and play it slowly

Gambling is only for fun not for living. Only stupid people would spent half of their income on betting.

In the end betting corrupts families, careers, persons and more.

Bet with friends for little money if you need to bet.

gambling is just a game, and can not be compared to life, but I prefer the word life is gambling, because we live like gambling, do not know will be black or white  :)

If you are betting with all your money - that means you are already lost it. Even if you manage to win that time, this type of behaviour is not showing healthy attitude towards gambling.

Gambling is not only for fun.

Gambling <  Entertainment < Addiction < Financial Problem < Depression < Stealing < Prison  :P

How can you manage to do some kind of assumption here? When they are in addiction type there is only two options for them continue playing it or stop it, if you continue you will have this financial problem risk and I dont think people do that stealing just to gambling. It doesnt make any sense why they should gambling using stolen money

Even though nothing is impossible, it is better not to gamble with all your money. The gamblers as a whole will lose in long term. So only gamble with small proportion of disposable income.

People have their own right to decide if they're going all in or not..

just accept that there are people who took a path that they made gambling as their living..

Everybody is responsible for his own action. We will just say that if somebody gamble with all his possessions, and lose it all, it is quite devastating. If he just gamble with small amount of money, there is no problem to gamble at all. Gambling is for fun if it is done properly.

Yes gambling will be perfect if it is done only for entertainment and not looking for money making. When we gamble with the small amount of betting, then there is a lot of chances and time to learn the gambling techniques to make it profitable. Then gambling would be for living.

This thread reminds me of my grandfather, but I'm not going to go into a huge essay about his life. Basically, he never had a job his entire life and all he ever did for income was gamble. I would say that man does both, he lives to gamble and makes his living gambling.

Wow..  your grandfather  have skill and knowledge about gambling. Can earn profit in long term
And he know how to control ourselves and money.

If you are able to make some profit than gambling is for living. Otherwise gambling should be done only for entertainment purpose, but that time also living for gambling is not at all possible for any people unless they born with silver spoon.

Was your grandfather a professional gambler. If he could support himself and his family with gambling, he must be doing very well? What kind of game did he play? Very interested to know.

Gambling is great fun...it's all about managing what you can risk and win.

I can't identify with either comment...I don't gamble for a living and I don't live to gamble but some times - weekends or a boring week night, when I'm on the road too, it's fun to just make some bets and see where things go. Betting on sports games is fun too, I do that a lot on American Football.

If you find gambling as fun then you are not making gambling for a living. Only some people who are finding gambling is profitable, they may turn into the living off gambling. I believe all the gamblers fall in these two category.

I gamble for the pleasure in it. There is no greater feeling than watching your bitcoins grow on autobet.

No point making a living out of gambling since you're almost guaranteed to lose every single time.

For most people, gambling is just for fun. Most of us cannot live on gambling as too much skill is required to gamble professionally. There are not many reports about living on gambling only.

No one can live on gambling and for living on gambling skill is not required but luck is required. If only skill is required then by now many people would have been taken this gambling course to become masters but it is not available means skills are not very important but only luck is needed to make profits continuously from gambling.

Yep, if you depend on gambling for living, you will be homeless. ;D

I dont think so that most people will think like that, because what I know they play it with their own money and aim for double or triple it, there is no way they could enjoy losing their money like that

They will not enjoy the losing of their money. They will enjoy the gambling process. These guys know if they play for long time, they will lose.

How can you make profit continously? Is that even possible? Although you are pro you will face down time, gambling will never earn you money continously because you need more luck to get it and you will not have this kind of luck everyday

I think i cant live without gambling because if i play on gambling im always hoping that someday i will win and get the jackpot price.
Just for my opinion. that i cant live without gambling...

But a lot profesional gamblers  living from gambling. If dont have experience in gambling not high recomended to try living in gambling or  you can not survive for long time.

Yes but those professional gamblers are rare. Most are basically losing money in the long run.

And if you are a professional gambler and make alot of money, casinos have the right to ban you.

there are plenty of cases of people able to make a living off gambling, just turn your tv on the next time there's a professional poker tournament on. what most people lack is the dedication to pursue a career in gambling, that is, they believe gambling is only for fun, and dont at all think that enough experience in poker could possibly net them the title of a pro.

So if they know they will lose it why still continue? Is this some kind of entertainment that they want? Is it worth?

to those hardcore addicts, getting their fix is their top priority, so yes, I would say its worth for them. just think, and alcoholic doesnt care if they pass out in the middle of the street barely able to stand, they have a bottle of liquor, and that's all that matters to them. a meth addict doesnt care how they get the money, it only matters that they have the money to buy another tenth of a gram at the end of the day. its the same with gamblers. losing doesnt matter because they still got to wager something.

Why would casino ban people that win? wouldn't casino like the winning player to keep on betting and hope the player lose? no one can win continuously unless the casino game is broken.

Well I am not planning to gamble for a living I am not a profissionail millonair man.

I just gamble to have fun. But if I wanted to do for living than I would play poker to  do that.

they do ban people if that person is winning a lot. like u win $1mil by table games so the casino has the right to suspect you and blacklist u in their own casino. however, they dont upload the blacklist to international blacklist as they dont have proof that u cheat.

Ya I never saw someone getting ban because he won alot of money atleast if he wasn't cheating. And if you want to cheat is just a dumb move.
But the professional player why would casino ban them they are a good guest for them I think in my self. Because a famous person more people will come in the casino in me perpectief atleast.

Gambling for a living is impossible. In a long run you lose. So it is just gambling for fun, just like playing a game,

But still there are many people that do this kind of thing. Here we say that is impossible but out there they are still gambling for a living and I think it is going well and they dont even bother about losing

Ya nothing is imposible if you give time doing what your life if it gambling than.
You should do it full time. And you will see it isn't impossible.

Of course, those kind of people generally use drugs and don't care about reality at all.

You see wonders with open eyes. Gambling only ruin life and nothing else. More time you give to it more it ruin your life and then even that of your circle. As for "nothing is impossible", since you seem very sure in yourself and in that you can achieve, can you please do a walk until the Mon? Couldn't be impossible for you. Seeing that nothing is impossible for you. If you do that I can give you everything you want. But that can be in my possibility. I am am not a person which can do everything. For me is not true your sentence that nothing is impossible. Can be something that is impossible. For example it was wonder for me to be married with Cindy Crawford. But was impossible. Even giving much more than needed time to this my wonder.  ;)

Gambling for a living is possible . And you got wrong , in the long run you win ( if you play by the odds and understand the theory and opponents ) . I am a semi-pro microstakes poker player ( hopefully this year i will turn to pro ) and i can assure you that it is possible to live ( at least ) by poker . My coach currently makes 2000+ euros per month and he grinds at microstakes ( up to NL 50 ) too . If you wanna start at online poker check my signatures , you're gonna find them interresting . But i have to warn you it ain't gonna be easy , it needs hard work and patience .

I have only one question for you. But first the situation which will give me the possibility to make the question to you.

Everyone who play poker win? For sure not. There must be someone who lose otherwise from where came the money that you and your coach earn. So in poker have winners and losers. The losers have ruined their life with the poker (the gambling) because they have lost their money. So in this moment everyone can doubt in your words. Will think: If I can be from the part of the losers? It is normal to think so. Only the stupids don't have such thoughts. They are convinced to be over every part. They are convinced that are invincible.

You told that with poker can be earned so much money that the player (gambler) can have a good life. Like your coach. But must be for sure only at the part of the winners. Otherwise the poker ruin the life. The losers, like you and your coach, had for sure your convictions. Otherwise would not play. Who play if believe that will lost its money? They, when played with you and your coach believed (before ruined their life) that even if could lose some hands for sure will win the other ones. In this way they has left in poker all their money. Maybe not in one night or two. But in several such. Because were sure that will win. Exactly like your thoughts and the thoughts of your coach. They ruined their life because were convinced that were the bests (like you think since tell that with poker you give warranties that can be lived) and this conviction made them to use all their money hoping that one hand (game, night, nights) will earn all the lost money.

Here my question: How do you know that one day cannot be someone or even more players who will be more capable than you and will make you to lose all the money? With my question I am not telling that all your money will be lost within a night or two (things this totally possible with a gambler with your convictions) but during a given time.

well. im think that im gambling for a living. thats because im not a true gambler that just focus on gambling everytime(second,minute,hour). im only gambling when i feel want to gambling. Maybe for other people,they rather living just for gambling. ;)

If I can quit my job and have a lot of bitcoin. I would just do gambling for a living.

Because is fun you will just sit in the casino or in your pc and just play some dice, roulette, poker or other games.

That will be a dream job. :P

I do it for pure entertainment, nothing more nothing less.

I don't take it as seriously as the professional gamblers, I admire those people who do this for a living though.

I wouldn't be able to do it. There's no reassurance that I'm able to win everyday.

Well, the title says it all, in the second part for hardcore gamblers, not for me though ;)

I hope that's true and not just a random troll comment to push people into gambling more.

Depends for me, if there's a company funding my gambling sure I'll gamble for a living.

I would never live for gambling though. Not worth losing everything I own.

So you name a dream job being in front of a computer or in casino and lose your bitcoins? Where is the pleasure to lose money (or bitcoin)? I can't handle this. If were me at your place I will go crazy even with the loss of some bitcoins and not of this big amount of those like you mean to have (so big that can allow you to quit your job). How can be possible such kind of behavior? How can be possible to enjoy the lose of money? Totally strange people can be met in the life.

Lol I would totally do this if I got sponsered or anything like that. I think that's where pro's get their gambling money from. How else are they able to gamble with millions.

Unless I'm wrong and they earned that money fair and square.

I do gambling for a hobby, because if I had to gamble for a living the stress would definitely drive me insane. What I do is use some of the money im not planning to do anything with, and "invest" that into some daily gambling fun. It's not much, but enough to entertain myself. The rest of the money I save to make my Bitcoin stack bigger for the future.

Well, if you want to gamble for living and live for gambling then you might wanna take a look at daytrading and arbitraging :). That's a socially accepted form of being a hardcore gambler.

This is like my 5th time  in 2 hours to see this topic about gambling written differently but  likely the same question.

Trading or arbitrase can give you a profit per day?  How it works Sir?
I'm interested also if can make profit everyday. I hope for living, if i can do that.

First of all , rule No 1 in gambling and investing is " don't invest more than you can afford to lose " . So by following that rule you can't ruin your life .
There are some "lines" you have to follow ( i'm gonna mention some of those that are related to poker ) .
One ,  bankroll management . You can't start playing by depositing 100 $ and sit at a table of NL100 . You have to split the money so that you won't lose it all if a "bad beat" happens . So with 100 $ you have to play at NL2 ( you can rebuy 50 times with that amount ) .  
Two , you must have a rakeback deal . My current deal gives me 40 % rakeback , that means that i get back a percent of the rake i pay for every hand played by me after the first round . There are poker players that are losers before rakeback and winners after receiving their rakeback .
Three ,  stop loss . I have my current stop loss at 3 buy-ins . That means if i lose 3 times the money i buy in a table , i stop the session , check the hands i play if i did something wrong and continue after some hours .
Now to your question . That day is every day . There are better players than me and i can assure you they are too many . But the positive part is that i'm better than some others . It's all about knowledge and skills . The better players are those who have studied more , played more , or have a better understanding of the game by natural . As for the poor guys that lose their money , believe me they are there playing because they want to earn other people's money .
I know that you are talking about the moral aspect of gambling but that's not the case here , i replied to this post specifically "if you can make money by gambling" and still my answer is yes . Try hard and you will succeed .

If your gambling for a living i would like to see if you somehow get to the top  ::)

i dont think its ok to do any of those i strongly believe that gambling for living will make you completely go broke and if you are living for gambling you should search for cheaper hobbies

Lol you just throw your all bitcoins for nothing if you do that. Living on gambling is just like throwing your life for nothing.
Gambling is a worst habbit than the drugs.. because it brings you difficulty in your life or you will be down for being rich..
So its not good to live in gambling.. you can only play it for fun..

gambling certainly isnt just a simple hobby for some professional poker players, to them, poker is a job, not a game or a simple hobby. the  mindset those people and most of the people on this forum have are complete polar opposites, and its a big part of what allows them to be successful at such a difficult game.

i dont do any of those

Gambling for a living, is like gambling with your life :)

Gamble and live. Those two can be go hand in hand. Like life, gambling is all about self control and luck ;)

Don't choose any of these paths. Both are rather extreme. One is choosing an addiction to gambling over everything else. Which is fundamentally wrong to begin with.
And second one is picking hardcore way of living as professional gambler - which is not easy as it seems. I know some professional gamblers and believe me, you don't want to live like these men.

For me i don't take gambling seriously, because i rather not gamble with my life on the line! But i would like to entertain myself by make some money off gambling every now and then.

I like this post a lot. Trying to beat out a house edge is always mathematically impossible to do in the long run betting scheme. Just knowing when to stop if you hit a good run is supposed to be the "fun" and "thrilling" part of it. And yeah, sports betting just makes you enjoy a game a little bit more than you would if you haven't.

I must say that both of them are bad. Just make sure that you guys aware the risk of gambling.

Gambling of living,  will be homeless in no time
Living for gambling, it surely will destroy your life except you're really in luck

Not all people will be broke when they play gambling for living. There are some people that use this kind of method to live and got a family. It depends on how good you on managing your gambling method to profit. Sure you have loss sometimes but if you can manage well you will have enough eventhough for your family living cost

I'd rather choose gambling for fun to ease all of my stress rather than those 2 , i can't imagine myself feeding my family in gambling and also i don't think  that  living for gambling is a good idea.

Anyone who reads this try to watch "one outs" its an anime about a guy who is a gambler and the same time a baseball pitcher where they use the one outs system as there game. Until he was recruited by a baseball club and he uses his gambling style to carry his team to glory.

I neither do any of the options. I gamble sometimes but just for fun and maybe some extra btc. I would be too scared to just loose my hard won money !

Well that is good for you, at least you are not afraid spending your money.

And yeah gambling for fun is always good, because you can be greedy but you jsut don't care about the money :P

Gambling is a hobby. I don't do it thinking I'm going to make a living out of it. Gives me the adrenaline rush that I like especially if in on a last leg of a big parlay.

Yeah self control is mandatory when gambling. If you lack it, dont even start gambling.

Most people tend to go on and on, because of hope and ignorance.

Yes that is called addiction and therefore gambling can be dangerous.

The only way to make it good is to enforce some control on the individuals gambling.

At first, that is what a gambler says, "I have self-control" but always end up to addiction.

Well, to tell you the truth,.
Theres a time that I do gambling for a living.
At first, i earn a lot daily. and then I stop gambling for a week,
because my winning is still enough for food and other needs of mine.
then after a week I started again.. hoping to earn more and more..
but even i win, im still not contented. thats why in the end.
i lose all my winnings and my capital.
After that I learned my lesson and now i just used gambling,
to have fun and if I win I will be lucky. If i lose. theres nothing new.

Never gamble for more then a few hours a week.

The moment it becomes an habit you are lost. It doesn't matter if you are good or bad, you are just lost.

How few is your few? It is subjective to said few. Sometime people playing using few hours will still have winning profit and others playing not even an hours lose all of their balance right away. How are you going to explain this? Btw your saying doesnt make any sense though

For me i choose gambling for living. because when i bet if i win i can buy something for my living but if i lose we risk our living too. well if i choose living for gambling it's also good, that's make your life not boring.

confusing about this word  :-\ I would prefer Gambling for a living

Maybe OP means "Gambling for a living: gambling is your job" and "living for Gambling: you spend your living just for fun" :D

Mind tricks, mind and body adapts to repetition, you repeat the act and there is always some reward, it is like a drug cicle.

I gamble because I have done it for quite some time and Im up from it all in all so will continue to do so. I guess in a little way I make a living from it beside my day job. Gambling is very part time.

No he is right, the title confusing really if you read carefully and think on it deeply.
Make gambling as your living was a worst idea to do, almost impossible to make living from gambling due our live itself is a gambling in another mean. So dont do it.

Well, I believe most of us would choose neither of the above option. Gambling isn't like food or oxygen that you need to intake for your survival, many people(including me), do gambling for fun, so that makes it that we neither gamble for a living or live for gambling. Also, the very thought of living for gambling freaks me out  :-X

Hello

I only do it for fun.

Gambling should really be seen as entertainment. It is mostly based on luck and people should understand the difference between fun and work and also that the vast majority of people lose.

 
Cheers

I wouldn't pick either of them. I only wanna see gambling as fun and entertainment in my free time.

Not as a living and not wanting to live for gambling is just not healthy to do.

Yes is a entertaiment thing, but for some people is a job like people who is pro in poker they make a lot of money just doing some games.
For me gambling is to have fun with family or friends.

I think 90% people gambling for fun or say living and those 10% who live for gamble are really pro gamblers.


Yes actually and till its done in a healthy and entertaining way, you will also win and once you get intense and try to make profit of that, you willfall deep in loss. Decision making becomes weird when a gambler start to gamble desperately.

It is easy to tell, if your one and only way of earning money is gambling - then you are gambling for living.
If you have normal job, or other sources of income gambling is just side job of yours, or entertainment method.
You can also be addicted as hell, and can't live without gambling, but that is a different story.

i dont see any entertainment when getting stressed
when youre losing, honestly even when youre doing it
for fun you still want to win, and every time you lose
youre getting stressed even if youre saying youre not.

Yes, that is good pick. One should use gambling only for fun activities in sometimes like how one goes outing with family or going weekly or monthly movies. Just fix some money for a giving day to gamble, do not increase your gambling money either you win or lose than should be fine but if you try to use it as a earning machine than mostly you may lose all your money in gambling.

gambling for living is kind of bad idea, because gambling doesnt guarantee you will always win,

when you are losing what will you do for your needs? it will lead your life to criminal act, unless you got an excellent skill of analysis and tremendous luck

but if living for gambling i think its still okay as long as you know the limitation,

dont spend all your money for gambling but it is okay if you want to have fun spending your extra money

Ideally, they are the same thing. They're both bad, and they're both gambling. There is no such thing as gambling for a living. The house edge makes sure of that. It's almost impossible to make profit and walk away, and gamblers know that.

Did you know many people in pokerstars make it as a living? They are gamle for years and succeed keep their live nicely.
Some people out there already practice this thing and reach their success . they called pro gambler.

Do you know any one of them? Most of the gamblers are thinking like you that many people are making profits from gambling so they also can try to get more money from gambling. But most of them end up in losing what ever they have than only they will realize it. 100% gambling is not for living but it is just for enjoying the fun.

Yes only in social media or in word of mouth I do hear about Gambling achievers. I also doubt there are complete fictitious stories to temp the common peoples to make them to invest in gambling. It's very much rare to have a successful gambler as a friend.

Yes, you people are right. Getting a living proof of gambling success is too hard in my personal experience also. I would say gambling is not for living and living for gambling must be a state of addictions. Never touch gambling and then you can easily save your bitcoins.

Not like that always. I have seen some real gambling money makers. But they are not daily winners but they do loose money only from their winning parts. Lotteries has produced many successful gamblers like my close friend too. They are successful as they use their profits to gamble again.

Yeah I have seen all those guys like Floyd Mayweather or Dan Bilzerian in instagram bragging about how much money they made in a day on a gambling success, but those guys are already rich and basically always win since they are famous too. They may lose a gamble, but if they win, they win the price + the social media following which is money within itself.

But not people have this skill to make some living using gambling because this is gambling so sometimes you will win and sometimes you will lose too. You dont know if there are more people lose than winning in poker. I think it will be around thousand to 1. If there are many people winning on poker why people keep working and why dont they just playing poker? What you saw is pro you never saw other that did not make it

Hats off to those that make a living from gambling! But, for those to win there has to be those that lose to enable the casino/bookies to pay the winners and they are living for gambling/losing.

There are so many losers out there who are living to gamble and I can only feel sorry for them as there was a time when I had a very minor problem gambling. All is well now and I don't gamble for a living or live to gamble.

Just as a hobby but sometimes can get a bit carried away and end up losing too much chasing a big win.  It would be amazing to be able to make a living out of gambling but sadly I cannot see that happening for too many people.

the main objective of saying all these is that pro gambler exist. and we didnt say it is easy. as u said, it is only maybe 1 out of thousand and while the rest of the 999 lose. we totally agree. it is the 1 that feeds on all these 999. and this 1 singular is somehow able to keep remain that 1 to continuous feed on the rest of the 999 for a long time and that is how he become a pro gambler. it becomes his job.

Neither, I just consider it a fun pastime and try not to get carried away, which can happen before you know it ;).

It's always fun if you win big though...

After to much time I see you answer and I am sorry to not have seen it before. I see a lot of incomprehensible for me. Because I am not at all an expert in gambling. Even more. I am not even a newbie in gambling. I am nothing in gambling. I have gamble with penny more than 30 years ago with football matches for about 5-6 times and then about 10-11 years ago poker with my friend with pot near 1 dollar and overall money in the table by all four players never more than 100 us dollar. This period was a little more than the previous. Lasted for about 5-6 months. I haven't seen never a casino in my life. I have never played in one online gambling site. So i am less than nothing in gambling.

Then why speak about it and do moral to them who gamble - must ask someone. How can judge something that you don't know. This last sentence is not at all true. I know only one thing about gambling. But is the most important one regarding it. And is scientifically verified. Gambling, if played for a long time and continuously, create addiction. To be addicted to something (whatever it can be) is a disease. A very dangerous one. Especially when have to do with the money. That's the why of my post and my thoughts. You may think all the possible "strategies" and "models" in gamble. If you gamble continuously you are in constant danger to become addicted from gamble. And if this can be verified your problems and the problems of your family (or even more from your dears) will be extremely big. They all (and you first) will suffer in an enormous way and will curse yourself about that you have made.

The last think. Seeing the way you write and from what I read, I see and understand that your are not at all quiet and in yourself. The first signs of the above disease mentioned above by me.

That's the worse kind of job to have...  With all the stress involved I wouldn't be surprised alot of people end up on the streets with only their underwear.

Could you be more specific?  ;D

Living for gambling and die in the desert is the same thing, just ask the deads.

Well i think so living for gambling good for me because it is way to have fun with online activities because i have this is only method to spend my extra time when i stay online than gambling is my passion.

Neither. Though I would love to be good enough to make a living solely from gambling. As it is right now, I enjoy gambling very much, especially poker. But it doesn't run my life.

Playing poker for bitcoin actually allows me to accumulate more bitcoin and add to my holdings without having to go through the steps and hoops of buying bitcoin via the normal usual ways.

I do it for past time and for enjoyment

I just do it for fun. If I have extra money and I do not have anything better to do, I play some card games with friends. Or I would play online but betting only small amounts. I actually do not care if I win or lose, as long as I enjoyed the game it is okay with me. Gambling should be for entertainment and not as a source of income.

Are you for sure that you gambling not aim for the profit? You just spend your money just to have some fun and get some excitement? I dont think many people will have this kind of thought, eventhough big whale is aim for profit so how about us not a big whale? Aim just for excitement? I think you are lying to yourself

In general you can't gamble for a living, and you shouldn't live for gambling.

But you mainly hear from the winners, not from the losers. It's the big winners that get celebrated, the jackpot-hit in a casino that rings the alarms. Of course on average people lose, casinos are not for charity.

I agree 100% :) As long as you do it for fun, you're good! When it is no longer fun to play, you should find a different way to spend your time.

Gambling is not for living and gambling is for fun take the risk, dont spend money there than you can afford to lose..
Some people they choose to live in gambling because they thought that they  can easily make money in gambling but it turn to lose..
And some people want to be rich and bring himself from being poor to rich...
For me i just having fun in gamblingand just try also my luck but never lose all my money there.. unlike before.. ii just realize that i lose my money or nothing...

Living for gambling of course because gambling for a living is almost not possible because otherwise your life is depending on luck.
I think its better to just gamble sometimes in your spare time so that is why you should do it do, living for gambling.

live for much more things than gambling. The most two important consequences which can have someone who gamble in long term is loss of all him's money (profits + own money) and addiction.

Indeed, the fact is that if you gamble for a living you are never sure if you will have a enough money because its depending on luck.
I think the most people are choosing for living for gambling because its way more save and also more enjoyable in your spare time of course.

I dont think that it is possible for us to gamble for a living this is gonna be hard for you to get a living out from it, besides in gambling, you are not sure if you might win or loose. Most gamblers not always have a luck to win and gain a big money then spend it for a living..

Gambling for fun would fit for me, as i dont gamble that much and only do it when im bored.
Its really hard to gamble just to make a living out of it but hence some people do it and they are great doing it.

Due to the nature of gambling its not possible to make a living out of it and its pointless to make a living for gambling.

The most people will live for gambling as they spend more then they could really do.I doubt there is someone able to get a living from gambling,only the owners of the houses are able to get a live on it.

living from gambling will not make you rich  :)

Living for gambling is just very bad why should you do that, that is a very bad life style if you ask me.
Living for gambling is already better but still not good.

There is no way you can live while gambling and be happy. In most of the cases you will see you become very poor since gambling is a way to lose money
not a way to earn/win money.

Actually both this things are bad so don't do it for a living. Gambling is just a hobby where you can get extra money. You just do this for fun and everything. And one more thing to remember to my fellow Gamblers, " Don't let Greed get over you" and Know your Limits. Happy Gambling ;)

i only gamble for fun! and i like the possibility of making a little on the side.

but never do it for a living, i think anybody who is gambling to make money is making a huge mistake by taking a big risk even if he has been successful so far it is still a bad idea to continue this risky way.

I am not any people, and I am sure when I said I do not gamble for money. I only gamble for the fun of it. If there's a championship game, I bet for my team to make watching it with friends more exciting. I play cards for the fun of it. If you gamble to make a living out of it, it is you, not me.

If you live in gambling make sure you are the owner but if you are not the owner its better to stay away and dont live for gambling..
Honestly gambling is just for fun and entertaining this is not for living it may cause your money drain..
So i you are bored just gamble to make some fun not to live or gambling...

I prefer living for gambling because I only gamble in my spare time for the enjoyment and to spend some hours when I'm alone.
If you do the opposite it means almost that you are addicted if I'm honest because the fact is that you will gamble for your living and that is almost not possible.
This is of course not possible because you need luck there is always a chance you will lose.

Both living for gambling as well gambling for living is good when you have limits as well know your limits. One such is the scheduled gambling or having fun on the leisure time and getting excited if won else moving on to the routine seems good and a right choice than just spending long to compensate loss and finally loss everything.

I don't think both of them is good at all, gambling is only for fun not to spend your life on it, if you are living for gambling I think you will become bankrupt in instant, gambling is a very dangerous thing, you need to be extra careful when gamble if you don't want to be addicted

There are actually two condition, if you are living in gambling that means you are making profit on it and would give you a comfortable living in the future. No one would live in gambling if he is not getting the benefits on it, otherwise it will only ruin your life which mostly happens to some irresponsible gambler.

I'm a gambler addict and i think i choose gambling for a living. Because i already gambling since 5-6 years ago and i can't earn profit so far. That's why i want gambling for a living, so i can earn much money on gambling and no need to work.

I gambling not for money only but for entertaining people but somehow i want to earn money from gambling sometimes it is so hard for me to win i played gambling for the sake of money so maybe gambling for a living. If you can't win then don't push your self too hard.

it should be our principle not to treat gambling as a source of our funds since gambling is just a luck base games even you are a pro or you can win from time to time but losing still there, bad luck will be present without our knowledge so its still better to play gambling just for enjoyment lessen the chances of wrecking our life.

this is what i am doing too because i am realize that i can not win big money from gambling so i only enjoy when i am playing gambling. and for me, i am playing gambling is because of the fun things that i want to do in my life and i am not living for gambling.

to me i purely play gamblig for making money and fun and engoymeng is just the making reasons and nothing else. i am playing gambling for last few years and for every time i play it for making money and when ever i made money in gambling really enjoyed it and for every time when i lost money i really feel it one of the most boring activity of the world.

Gambling for living no way doesn't make any sense. As betting involves high risk so even if he is make 1000's$ if one of his bet went wrong that's it his whole life is screwed. I feel sad for people who only bet for living as one bet can make you super rich or bring you down to zero. Please don't bet for a living use it as a hobby and have a second income or savings

It doest really make sense at all and you are right playing gambling is high risk and we cant rely on it as a source of income because theres no still guarantee on making profits in everyday basis and yes,its should really treated as an entertainment and should not be considered as source of income.Its just like suicide on doing this kind of thing.

Actually if you think the meaning of both of that they're actually the same it depends on the person you will ask for. but for me im gambling not for living and not living for gambling imean it doesnt matter on me as long as im earning money from it at the same time having fun time in gambling. that's all important. if you don't enjoy gambling maybe it's not for you.

No, no need to total depend on gambling, You can't heard to anyone that gambling is a job, or business. Absolutely no, because gambling is a game, we only think about it, because it is money game, and sometime when we win than gambling give us a big amount than we think, if we permanently join gambling than may be it will be given us monthly income, But we are wrong. So i am not agree on it, that we should depend on gambling on living wise.

I cant and shouldn't rely my lives from gambling. Gambling is just a luck based game. I dont know when my luck will come and whether I can catch it or not is still uncertain. Gambling is a part of my life but I do not rely on it to meet my daily needs.

Yes there are some pro gamblers who lives on it. And they really depend on winnings. I know some and they actually have people who works for to play in gambling. It's a way of living for them and they earn a lot especially in slot machines. For me, I just enjoy myself in gambling and not to make a lot of profit from it.

I do not pick them, if gambling for a living, we will live in vain, and when we live for gambling then we will die stupid
gambling would not give us wealth but will only be addictive and damages alone

Yup you are right there are some gamblers they will live for gambling, and for them, this gambling is the main source to run their life and family. I don't know how they will make money from gambling. For me, this gambling is just an entertainment game, and I will not live for gambling. 

I gamble just for fun so I do not think both of your opinions are suitable to me. Living for gambling is not good and I think there are many other meanings to live for in this world such as your girls, your dream, your ambitions. Gambling for living is unlikely to be done by amateur gamblers. Only experts can repeatedly do this job day by day with their special skills in order to earn a decent income daily.

that's right only those who really study hard about the game that they played are the one who can rely with their skills so better to think about it twice before you try your luck as gambling always have a risk of losing your hard earned money, its a lots of opportunities and option we just need to open our mind to see what would be the best for us aside from our gambling activity.

You are right! Well gambling could give you wealth! Someone has won big and be instant millionier out there but most of the players in gambling end up loosing! Well over all i do agree gambling gives damages alone to us if you don know how to control but in the good side we could pretty say that it give us fun and entertainment if yyou are just into fun and not for profit.

for the moment is very difficult to interpret it, but I gamble for fun as well as to find additional money. probably the right term for it is a gamble gambling for a living, because it may be with gambling, we can make life better, or not.

i think this is silly question  ;D
because in my opinion gambling just for fun not for live ......

i think gambling is such kind of game where you can only get fun and enjoyment if you are investing money and if there is no money involve in gambling then you canno make money there. therefore if you want to enjoy gambling you mus put money in it.

The only ones making a living out of gambling are the professional poker players who make it to qualify to big money tournaments. All others try to emulate such people but 99.99% resulting in big losses from their part. I think we , normal people cannot use gambling for a living but we can live for gambling , although this is not a good choice to take in the long run.

Yup, that's right. If we want to get an advantage then we should be risking funds owned. But it's all we can do with the free way, i.e. using a faucet that is where we gather from those results and then use those funds for gambling. Because if we use the funds from the results of our work then it will have the possibility of making us become someone who get addicted in gambling and eventually we lost some money. So do gambling not for profit but looking a pleasure
 

Nothing on both options since I don't really gamble too much and I don't really consider these things because having this motives will surely put you out into a negative side when you suffer losses.If you continue this kind of behavior then you are a certified gambling addict.Lets just say you are playing because of living then that thing is just like suicide because making it as a living isn't possible at all and living for gambling doesn't make any sense for me.

In fact the number of such people can be rare, but still there present such people who totally depend on gambling for living, they consider gambling as their job and profession.

But  it is also a fact that such people have  good experience and skills of gambling,  the have learn all the tricks of gambling so they can easily defeat you in any format of gambling.

Well as you've said these people are rare. For me by definition, when you say a person is living for gambling, these are the people addicted to gambling and can't last a day without engaging in any kind of gamble. I think these people are the ones that suffer in their lives as the effects of their addiction. The people who are gambling for a living though would be those professional gamblers, like professional poker players that actually earn big money enough to support their lives with it.

Not only for you but everyone find it is too hard to make money in gambling, still most of the people play gambling for making money but in fact they cannot succeeded. Success in gambling only possible if we run a gambling houses.

It will not be right decision to play gambling to depend on it for living. But being a gambling house owner, I believe we can make it possible.

Most people who are playing gambling are seeking for money because they saw that gambling would give them money easily and you are right its really hard to make money on gambling because most of our bets are lose and it depends on our luck.We cant really make a living on playing gambling.

These both concepts best suits for the owners of the gambling sites ans casinos as they can live for gambling and their life can be for gambling because from gambling they have their profit for life and for supporting their family. While the gamblers just gamble there for the sake of entertainment.

I don't think they are not so much different. In fact when you are gambling, you aim to win something or probably want to because you need it. You always have to do it because you do it for a LIVING. When you say living for gambling, I think you just are in the moment. The people who like to gamble and lives with it as entertainment, that they cant get it out of their system. Somewhat addicted to it but it's their lives.

I Do not Think that both of these are good things. I think those two things are not a good thing. But I saw no one better, that gambling for a living, it is better than living for gambling. Why? because at least gambling for a living means you're gambling for the continuity of life, you make money for your life, for your needs. Not like living for a gambling which means you spend your life just to gamble, there is nothing good at all. Both of these clearly have a different meaning, but not a good thing, although at least there is something better.

Not really for a living, but I do gamble to earn atleast, other than that, I have no other reason to stay in the gambling site. Entertainment is not in my mind when playing, I go there for business, for money. I will be a hypocrite if I tell everyone that I am there to chit chat or to have fun when what's really on the back of my head is money.

Me either I don't gamble for a living and as well as I don't live for gambling. But those people who are making gambling as a source of their living are those people who are really dedicated to make gambling as a profession. And that's why gambling is making themselves to keep on going. Even though I am hoping for some profit with gambling but not that for a living.

If there are people who are gambling for living then I guess those are the people who are professional gamblers and that's their main source of income, by simply gambling at all and that is goes the same that they are living for gambling. Each day of their lives are dedicated to gambling if they will not won for a day, they can just gamble again for the next day and wish to some luck.

i do it because i like it , not gambling for my living or my live for gambling ..
if lucky whit me so gamble bring profit to my self  :)

This is possible and there are really people who lived just on playing gambling only and they are making decent money in able to sustain their needs on daily basis which is really unbelievable thing because we all know its really hard to maintain to make profits on playing gambling but there are really skilled and lucky people could able to handle this thing.

For me of course select gambling for a living, we could not live just for gambling, we should use the time for gambling, but if too addict is not good. I recommend to use the time for a refreshing, so that the mind is more clear and the time gambling could win.

When you are making a living in gambling, most of your time is with gambling. Some people might see it as you are addicted in gambling, but who cares if they see that way but you are making great profits. It's a very hard job that only gifted people can do, and you are gifted enough to have this job as you can have more money as you wish. It's going to be a wonder life to live where making money is easy.

Yes i guess not need to care about what people are saying as long as you can produce anything from gambling why should care about it all. no gambling is not a job but yes gambling requires talent if you have the talent then easily you make a little money from gambling.

I didn't do either, living for gambling is such a great problem, what I understand is that you are gambling with your living money which seems will never give a good benefit to each people . Gambling for a living could be good but only for those people who seems gambling is their profession and has enough money to gamble but still I don't it could be easy as instant .

I do gambling because i have needs and i want to earn money fast yes im gambling just to live and to support my daily expenses i don't say that i can really make it every day sometimes i lose badly but in other day i get back what i've lost last day thats life if you don't stop you have future someday.

all the people have the same felling, most of the people play gambling for making money, they consider gambling as the shortest possible way of making money, but they do not know about the risk involve in gambling.

If you aske me if I am one of the two option ( gambling for a living, a living for gambling) I would say none of the above.  I never use gambling as the way to earn a living, I have my jobs that can support my family.  And definitley not a living for gambling, i will never put my family on the line just to play gambling.  That act is insanity !.


Note:  For and from are two different preposition that give different meaning when used.

Actually gambling is not only a source of living . But it is also a way of fun and use money to grow in different way .
Overall I was usually made gambling just for fun and sometimes to return my loss in past gambling .
But at new year I left gambling . I hope I remain definite at my promise at the whole year .

Well it would be hard to make gambling a source of living as there are no sure way of earning from it. Living for gambling is just as bad as that means you are already addicted to it. It seems that with the two choices, they're pretty much the same as it means that gambling is a major factor in your life already. So might as well go with the gambling for a living as it at least in a way you're gambling professionally and without much emotions involved compared to when gambling is already your life.

Well, you actually can live from gambling, but not from gambling winnings

If you become a poker pro, or a very popular streamer with a lot of followers

You might be able to become a pro but it's as hard as to become a pro in anything else  :D

I agree, I get that "a living for gambling" as you are exchanging your means of livelihood just to have a gambling moment and that is a very bad ideal.  It would be better to take the first one , gambling for Living as there are lots of people who actually earn their living thru gambling activities. Nope they are actually have the same meaning.

Gamblers definitely live for gambling. Their brain can't get enough of dopamine.

When you gamble the excitement and the tension builds up and it releases in the brain dopamine. Gambling can be seen as a form of drug addiction as well. You can't really make a living out of gambling, unless it's sports betting or poker betting, both of which require more skill than simple games that people usually play, like dice or blackjack. Stay away from gambling if you are not able to afford to lose.

You are right I watch many gamblers those who living for gambling because they cannot live without this they have addiction even few one done crimes for this because they lost more then they can afford which is worst for them

I agree, I just gamble for the fun and nothing more or less, its just that gambling has to be fun and you should not depend on it too!

Yes, select gambling for a living is not a good thing for our life. Because as you said, there is no certainty that we will have a definite income. There is no guarantee that we will continue to win in our game. There is always a time of us to lose the game. And living for gambling? hear it is very uncomfortable ears. Spent time living just by sitting in front of the screen waiting for things uncertain. It is not supposed to be done by humans.

Yes, we should treat gambling as a source of entertainment, fun and a way to ease our boredom but it is not that bad to hope for some amount to win but of course don't hope to much for it, because you will think that gambling will be a way of living like those people who have experienced to earn good amount in it. That's why most of us don't really gamble for living.

There's no pressure when treating gambling as an entertainment because you will not think of getting back your loses whenever you lose. It's no burden as you believe you are spending not investing to expect something in return. It's on the mentality of a person, and I believe those who believe gambling is for fun will survive.

i am not going to leave gambling at all. i want to continue it because i play gambling in a limit and my gambling never make me disappointed because i never try to exceed my gambling limit.

You are right with it, that's truly unbelievable, I don't how those gamblers manage to get some good profit out of their gambling activity. Maybe experience is really teaching them and it is a big factor for those gamblers who are already in the industry for so many years like decades and they are not doing nothing but gamble everyday.

Most of the people do not play gambling for making living, but most of the people are playing gambling for making a lot of money in a short period of time. Most of the people do this again and again if they do not succeeded for one time and that make them addicted and ultimately they lose all their money.

Both ways are not good, who are in their right mind will make a living for gambling, or will just base on luck to live thru gambling. both ways will not benefit a person in the long run. and needs treatment

That's what we call gambling addict, when a man make a living for gambling. Life of those kind of gambler almost has no direction at all unless there's something that hit them and make them change direction. Same as gamblers who hopes that they could make a living from gambling, they are pathetic. Both won't give a gambler any benefit and it is the result of abusing your self and gambling.

Indeed, an addicted gambler is one who spends every penny he has just to gamble. In the end, he just has nothing but losses in gambling and regret. But the next time he gets his salary he would be just gambling the money again. A gambler who gambles for a living and a gambler who gambles his salary are truly the same. They both lose in the end.

I`m not a professional poker player to gamble for a living.Other gambling games rely on luck.

Living for gambling is just a pure gambling addiction,which is a problem,if you ask me.

First of I should say that I'm new to the world of gambling. It's not more than one year since I had started to play on dice sites. I have never considered gambliong as something you can make a living from. Gambling is fun, dice especially, but not a source of income.

I prefer gambling for living. because by doing gambling we can live. we can get revenue from gambling game and also we can have fun. for the purpose of life is to be happy and pleased.

None of those two. Im doing gambling just to have some extra money in my pocket. So that I can buy stuff that i want whenever i go to mall or buy some snacks or hangout.

yes such kind of people are present every where although they know that they are not doing good with their life. but still they continue it in hope that a time will come when they will make a good money in gambling.

i think such people need guidance and assistance, so that to prevent them from losing such a big money gambling they should be convinced to play gambling up that limit which he can easily bare to lose and never try to cross that limit.

I don't know why there are people who are interested to know that if there people who are really gambling for a living and living for gambling.

For sure they will not even expose themselves and let us know that they are doing it even though there are people who are really doing that.

Even me, I don't do it because the same reason that I do whenever I gamble, I just hope for some small amount.

   Gambling is something I like, but I know my reach. I'm playing with low amounts and my winnings are not big all the time, and cause of that I don't gamble for a living.
   Living for gambling is gambling with high bets, to risk a lot and to live on a ege. I'm not for that kind of gambling, I love to enjoy in playing.

rigth now neither of both, the few coins that i had i lost it gambling, i was trying to make some profits, but it was not possible, but i ll keep trying, i dont like to lost, but this time with cold head, lets see if i have better luck

We all have the freedom to try our luck but always think that we cannot be trying all of life without getting any positive return, it's not worthy anymore, we are just like throwing our money in the thrash can. Instead of thinking we can be profitable, why not just think we can be joyful, it's the only way to convince yourself to be happy despite of the reality that you cannot win.

the title thread is same not good definition
is good gambling for fun to profit
if youre real life still work, and salary 10-20% to playing gambling so lost or win you still happy and fun
and gambling not for living or living nor for gambling

I'm glad to see people who understand gambling, gambling is a very serious job for others as they make a living in gambling, of course doing that kind of job requires you to put big investment. Yes, it's investment as that is how you should treat it, having said that, you have to aim for profit to grow your investment. They can do that but we, typical gamblers has not ability to do that, so we stay as what our capability tells us.

buying those lottery tickets at weekend is the high point of my week so i definitely live for gambling ;D

Rather than calling this title thread hasn't good definition, you should improve more about your english. i don't understand with any of your words.
Not you, but i believe there are some people who living from gambling (gambling for a living) and living for gambling (assuming they are rich people).

We can't figure out who are those people who are gambling for a living and those people who are gambling for entertainment purposes. But you are right with that, if we are not going to gambling for a living, there is no pressure at all. And most of the time when we gamble we can just enjoy every time we bet.

like many member here said, don't too greedy when you are playing gambling and always spend money that you won't regret it. of course you need more luck to win the games. i think you can playing gambling but not gambling for a living because i don't think its good for you as i don't do gambling for a living, but i am sure that in out there many people is doing gambling for a living.

Both ways? No, I don't... I am looking for money and money should only entering my wallet and not going out without a purpose, why would I do a living just to gamble, and why would I make a living out of gambling if it is risky... Only fools would do both for the sake of gambling and not living gambling...  :)

You mean to say you are not at all gambling ? Or you are gambling only for entertaining yourselves ?

Living for gambling is an addiction and gambling for a living is not practically possible in my experience. So, using gambling for some times and not giving any importance for it with respect to our living must be a good idea on how to treat gambling.

That's a common mistake to think that one can gamble for living and people who make that mistake generally lose everything they have. So let's not think that gambling for a living is possible. Living for gambling is another thing and it is possible unfortunately. Some people really live for gambling and even if they can afford losing money, they are losing all their time whcih they can spend doing much more interesting things.

Lol they might have the biggest jackpot but if you check the odds of winning its one of the worse games you can play for house edge.  Soon adds up aswell if you get 10 tickets a week or something over a few years.

to me i only play gambling for making money and most of the time i do not succeeded but still i want to continue because the amount that i lost in gambling is my pocket money and therefore it is no a big chance.

I just gamble a little for fun. I have found that I can't make any money gambling.

Neither of the definition is good, make gambling as a hobby and for fun purpose is good, spending too much time for gambling is going to ruin your life, there is no guarantee that you are going to win in gambling so gambling for a living sure is putting your life in jeopardize, so when you are losing then you wont have anything to left spend

Yeah you cannot make a living from gambling , the house edge will never let you did it
There is a lot of better option to make a living rather than to gambling
People have a narrow minded if they keep thinking so, I believe noone can make it
Unless of course they are still in lucky days.

There are a good number of people making a living through gambling and it is a really huge industry worth over a trillion dollar world wide and i have seen documentaries regarding whales who made millions only through gambling .So it is a real possibility to make a living through gambling.

It's true that there are people who make a living in gambling and they are whales because they have the big bankroll, but I don't think it will surpass the number of losers in gambling. Hence, it will only conclude that majority of the gamblers loses in the long run.

Being a gambler, we need to know our place, we can only choose between the two to either play it for fun or for profit.

For me "gambling for a living", as I often said, gambling is for fun, it might sound silly but that's what I want to get out of gambling, I sometimes look addict when I lost but I was able to control my mind.

Your statement doesn't justify your choice.  :) But anyway, we do gambling to make a profit, and we always tell everyone that we are after the fun. That statement sometimes leads us to trouble financially and sometimes really results to gambling addiction and instead of us making a living out of gambling, we do a living for gambling with that.  :D

if for the players not the owners then only certain people who can do that but usually they will be referred to as a professional gamblers and usually too they will enrolling big poker tournaments or they gamble at physical casino not on online casinos just like us and i think to making living with playing at casinos online will be very difficult because we can't guarantee the house will 100% fair to us

It is first wrong step, when we think gambling can give us everything, and when we play it for living wise, and depend on it for our living life. Than you forget gambling is a game, no one said that, it is a way of living and we should need gambling to live a life. If we left it, than also doesn't matter and if we play it only for game wise, than also doesn't matter. I really don't think that we mustily need gambling for living life. It is not a part of job or oxygen way, without gambling, every thing will go in a routine wise.

It is upto what type of gambling games you are doing, i do sports betting and poker gambling in this both game if you play strategically then surely you can make good profit, i am doing sports betting like my job work and earning nice, same way i am also playing poker and if their small decent profit or loss i leave for the day, like this same way i am doing and my ROI is good.

So it is live i dont fully rely on gambling apart from this i do job work for bitcoin and some trading, so only depending for gambling living is also not good.

For sure because even you can win with your gambling activity there still times that you will lose and risking your money is always part of your game its the common thing with gamblers they tend to play to earn little by little but those who already engage and addicted they can no longer control and loses in the long run.

For me, it is hard to think, if our living all depend on gambling, really impossible talk. I want to say, our living style is depend on our income, and we get income from business or job, and if for example, we convert our income into gambling, than how we can earn? Even everyone know that gambling is risky and luck base game, definitely we are living poor life, because out of 100 you win quarter half games. So better is that choose gambling for fun wise and short term income, not permanently.   

Very true since in gambling we just simply trying our luck to win in those certain game, and the very true fact their is we cannot truly win always, and sometimes the losses will hit us up frequently and thats one of plenty reason why we cannot earn a living in gambling, profits are totally unsure and i cannot gamble my faith to play and buy foods or things i want when i win in the game.

but i do not think so to me gambling is not for fun, gambling is for making making money, but such a risky way of making money, if you want to become succeeded in gambling you must have good luck and some good experience in gambling.

It would be safe for you if you think gambling as an entertainment and that is just my suggestion. However, if you really want to try the journey of a gambler then you must have all the attitude to risk your money to make money. Just put in your mind that it's not an easy journey, some maybe making a living in gambling but it's not the majority of gambler as majority are on the losing side which still keeps losing now.

Gambling for a living is difficult as it is really difficult to make money from gambling. And just relying on gambling to live won't make our lives better as what we want it to be. While living to gamble is also difficult because you just waste all your hard-earned money to gamble expecting to make more money from it which is impossible in long term.

Only few gamblers who makes a living out of gambling realizes that.. Most of them still hopes that they could earn in gambling...They never learn from their losing experiences... Same as with doing a living just to be used in gambling, they are fools, wasting their money in gambling while their family might be starving...

As much as possible we should not attach our way of living and family to gambling...  :)

Despite of the fact the people are treating them as fool, you cannot still blame them, the reward in gambling is really tempting and I believe we would not try to make a gambling as our source of income if others are not successful in doing it. In their minds, we are all equal and we are given the intelligence by God, so if one person can do it then it's doable. As long as they will not lose hope they have a chance to reach their goal and only time will tell if they will give up or not.

Gambling for fun occasionally. I don't think it is possible to gamble for a living unless you're skilled and good with mathematics.

It is but the success rate is very low that's why we are encourage only to play for fun, I have tried experimenting with that purpose when I was new in gambling but unfortunately it was not a success. At least now I realize that I'm not really capable of making money in gambling and do it for a living, some people can so they are lucky as they have that kind of skills which will eventually make them rich overtime.

But I think very few people can manage to live on gambling as its a risky method to handle your life as if you keep on loosing then you will be left with no income and in that case your family will suffer from it so its good to gamble only for fun and not to depend on it for living.

gambling could be a place to make money and to have fun, but the main purpose of gambling is to make money. We can have fun if we get something, and getting money is fun. Both things are different but the same lead to mood gambler. Having fun to raise the mood, make money also could raise the mood.

The ultimate purpose behind gambling is to make quick money and that's what every gambler aims for and if he is saying that he gambles for fun or entertainment purpose then that is not true as each and every person's intention is to make more money in quick time.

No doubt they can but the people you are referring are those who are really good in gambling and they are making fortune on it. We as typical gamblers does not have the same skills they have, it's a gift I guess because they are gifted with smart mind which are good in analysis.

I believe these people are not gambling in a luck based game like dice because skills does not work in this kind of game, I've seen people making a living in sports betting and poker and this game are so popular to professional gamblers.

partially correct since i believe that many people wants to earn and not to lose and there wandering in bitcoin gambling sites are one of their option to gather some profits. And i dont believe on any people who keeps tellin that they are here just to have fun and nothing else more since im very sure thay if there wallet is done surely they will be pissed of for the result of their gambling stats.

Gambling is for fun, gambling for a living, or living for gambling is just all the same in a way, in a way that you are still going to lose, no matter what goals you have in gambling, we just can't set aside the fact that gambling is all about losing all the time. No matter how we are good in gambling, if we are not lucky enough when we are doing gambling, then all we have to do is to accept the fact that we just lost.

And it would be better if we are going to try something else to do for a living, and not just gambling, because it is not a must to do for a living in the first place.

Really, I am not also convinced on people telling gambling for fun,because its really a headache when we lose. But gambling should really only played for fun for us to have at least a reward to ourselves when we lose. But think of it we can enjoy without gambling but because we still thinking of earning that's why we still do gambling.

We cant really remove into the minds of people when we are mentioning or talking about gambling one thing comes to our mind which is making money and its normal but should not be tolerated because once you fall for that hopes you are not playing gambling for enjoyment and you are right when we lose its really a headache for us.

Gambling for a living rather than living for a gambling why is that ? Because you are only doing gambling for a living to make or earn money out of gambling. It can be consider as a reason why gambling turns out a carrier.

Both are risky method as you cannot depend only on gambling for living and you cannot live only for gambling as both will make your life hell and if you are depending only on gambling for living then you are putting even your family's life at big risk as how you will feed them if you don't have any money left.

Yeah, the reason is that gambling is full of risky way, where no guarantee we could earn mustily. So if our life depend on gambling earning, than very difficult to support the family.
Because family need money and also gambling need money, than in the end of the result, one thing between them left us than definitely it will be a family. So choose the right way for living wise. But gambling is always better for short way income not permanently.

Correct, not because others are winning in gambling means that we could also win if we are going to do gambling to earn bitcoin. Those players are just professional and who are in the gambling world for a very long time, so they know the tactics that they need to win and not to lose so much in gambling.

And if you really want to do gambling, it would be better if you are not just going to play DICE because it only requires luck unlike the other gambling games which requires knowledge like poker, and sports betting.

I really think that gambling is only for a short time of fun or entertainment,
We all know that it is a risky game and if you are going to make gambling for a living I think you would only lose your money,
And it also goes to living for gambling we shouldn't depend to much on gambling even if we are winning mostly every game.

Well obviously both are not advisable. Though living for gambling is a lot more negative for a person's life and family. There are actual people who earn from gambling and is able to support their families from it but living for gambling makes you throw away time for more important things as gambling would be ranked upnat the top of your priority list

Gambling for living or living for gambling both are a risk, and I do gambling to have fun and to kill my free time. I don't live for gambling. And I am not interested to lose my loved once and family members because of this gambling. What you told it's correct the gambling is just a game to get fun and entertainment not to make money. If you think that gambling will help you to run your life, then you are wrong.

There is only few people that do this kind of thinking, I know someone that casino is his life. He is once a millionaire in my town but one day he lost everything he had. He sell his condominium and business just to have money for gambling. I don't know what is running on his mind. He is very rich but he want to become more richer by means of gambling. I'm afraid to have same faith to him that's why i'm starting to limit myself on gambling. Hehehe

I think the term " gambling for a living and living for gambling" is really great, is it only me?

By the way, I think my pick is not on the list, but I will still pick a living for gambling, not because I am a gambler, but I think I must use my money wisely rather taking risks on gambling, I will make investments for gambling sites. It is still a plan because I still don't have that enough money to satisfy me to invest on a gambling site.

Yeah both the form of gambling is simply hard. Gambling makes a negative impact on life but when it is kept within limit it won't affect the life much. For this reason one can take place into gambling but should never depend upon the same for living.

They are completely different, gambling for a living means gambling is your job and you are making money with it while living for gambling seems like a negative words for me, you live to gamble therefore you are in the losing side. The two are a comparison of a negative and positive outcome in gambling and of course as a gambler we all want to be in the positive side which is hard to achieve, thus instead of making a living let's just enjoy and minimize our spending.

Wow, both of those are really terrible to live up to. Gambling for a living? How is that even possible? I might understand that someone with a gambling addict might say they're living for gambling.
Gambling for a living might work if you actually own the gambling site.

If you do own a gambling site then making a living with it would be very possible since we do know having gambling site business is very profitable which means it can generate you decent amount of money. Gambling for a living is nearly impossible but i still see some people do make living out of it and im confused on how they able to manage with it.

Owning a gambling business or just gambling can be one single thing if we are considering about gaining support out of it.
Because both are gambling industry based activities. We may not be successful with our gambling activity but finally we may find how to make money from gambling industry and starting a gambling house and finding a living from it. This is what going to happen if we the gamblers are smart enough.

They cant never be single and owning your own gambling site will ensure profits on long term which we cant able to achieved on playing gambling itself.I could really say that most gamblers arent too smart enough and most of them do really fall.

The altcoin market is a bit like gambling. You can make a living off buying cheap cryptos and then waiting for them to go to the moon, sometimes people get rich like that and its great, but requires luck such as gambling.

People could make a living when trading Altcoins, the thing about trading Altcoins is that it's a very risky thing to do when there is nothing else that makes the person money. For instance; A developer could just stop posting updates and the price would dip. The person who put his life-savings into that Altcoin just lost all of his money because of that.

That's why I like to Gamble for fun instead of Gambling with a hope of having a Gambling Career.

i don't think so because in trading, we need to make analysis before we buy some altcoin and we need to watch the trend in the market. after we make sure where the trend will be going, then we can place our order buy or sell. i think i better to choose gambling for a living and makes gambling as an fun thing and entertainment that i can do in my spare time.

I am gambling not for a living gambling or vice versa, I'm just doing it because playing in gambling gave happiness me in times of my sadness, loneliness, or every time I have a problem.

My point of view is very clear on this as actually both of the factors are true for some people first one works very well as they get living from gambling in many different shapes either by doing business or gambling. The second one which whatever earn they loose and become mean of getting living for others.

Well I would not really think gambling as a living or living for gambling,
Because gambling is a very risky game and it is hard to win through it,
I mean we will just get greedy and most of us can't control it.

There was one famous quote that says : leading a life without knowing gambling must be happier than finding a fortune with gambling. You're sounding similar to that when you are not gambling for a living nor not leading a life for gambling then probably you are staying away from it. That is really good.

Greedy will usually push gamblers to leading a life for gambling. Once they get practice to this type of living and gambling, they could never come out of it because this type of gamblers will get addictions very easily.

Most of us then dont have ' brain ' perhaps? all it takes is a common sense and you know it. Wether you want to continue gambling or stop and most people's excuses are that they cant stop because they are addicted. We control our own action and nothing else actually stop us from not gambling anymore except for ourselves

of course you should not make gambling for living , quite clear that gambling in the long run not profitable most of the times unless if you really can quit while you are up having a lot of profit to start a new better way to life which it is rare happened.

so you have to change your mindset about gambling , gambling always work  for entertainment.

You are saying right investment in any altcoin is more like to do gambling it is very risky and we have to be lucky to make profit there. I also think we can rely on it if we are involve in trading and picking the good project.

not as much as you may think though.
these days the altcoin market is very hot and it is so rare to see all these coins get pumped all in one place. and it is not luck that makes people rich. in fact those who start trading thinking it is based on luck and do random investments lost money not get rich.
but with a little bit of thinking it can actually be profitable. it is all about timing. when to enter and when to exit.

That's really true seeing the alt coins now a days. I think no one really lives for gambling rather its they gamble to earn which they want to spend in living.

I believe that anyone who is gambling basically at the end of day want to make profit and those who say fun are either lying or living in a curious world where they live for gambling. I personally gamble then I have some targets in mind that I would win then I buy some pizza or something so obviously I gamble for living.

In a way, our whole life is kinda of a gamble, No one knows what is going to really happen, We gamble when we purchase stocks with the hopes that it rises so that we can make some profit. Stock Market, Forex Trading even cyptocurrency trading are all gambles hoping to pay low and sell them at a high price.

True. These factors are based on how or what you do. When you are in a gambling business or investment then you are certainly earning on that and that's what makes you gambling for a living person. It's not that bad because you have the knowledge and techniques in earning in your own means.

On the other hand living for gambling is not an easy task. If you are a professional gambler and using mathematical methods to increased the winning percentage to above 50%, then you can live by just gambling. It's just hard to sustain that life if you're just using pure luck.

What you are gamble for living i think for me its impossible that you can gamble with living here in online unless if you are really lucky in gambling and you can make a huge profit.. but gambling is always depends in your luck and you dont have fix earnings if your source is gambling and i think most of your bet will lose..  so for me you can not live in gambling ..

We can't rely definitely on gambling only, it can be a help only but not a source for living, a help when you win an extra income if ever won and an extra expenses if lose. In a game were needs decision making we should decide first whether we will play ,ensure first our needs before playing.

I think the title is just defining the same things, you are gambling for your living. It's hard to depend your life with gambling because it's very unstable and more stable than trading. And if you are going to live for gambling, there's nothing worth to live for it because there's more valuable things that you can do for your living not only for this thing.

Well for me I don't gamble for a living or living for gambling it is just my way to enjoy my free time when I am really bored,
And I don't hope for a big profit out of it because I know it is a very risky game.

For me I don't think I can make a living in gambling but it has been my dream to have that opportunity and make easy money, but I am just a typical gambler and I do not have the skills to do that. Now, I make sure I will enjoy every time I play gambling, I know I have no chance but I can have fun anytime.

That is a quite good comparision I think, altcoin trading has indeed something in common with gambling, if you are doing it on a new, cheap coins that are not trusted nor known.
But still, I think that it doesn't matter if it is "gambling for a living" or "living for gambling" because both of these options are insanely stupid gambling does not give you anything, except losses on a long-term.
I can understand that some people are liviing for gambling, because I have to admit that is exactly what i was doing for some time, but luckily I was able to throw away this bad habit.

Think about future, the gambling will not make it more bright.

If you have lots of connection, you wouldn't have a hard time making a living with gambling because definitely, you won't run out of reasons to not come to a casino because you have friends there. Probably there are a lot of people that would want that kind of life, you know?

although most of the people try to make gambling for living. as they start gambling because they consider gambling as one of the most easiest and shortest way of making money, but in fact it is not so easy, as gambling is one of the most dangerous way of making money.therefore most of the people do not succeeded in their intention.
