I was gambling today online since their is strike no work, so decided to take all my day to place a bet and this thought comes to my mind. That is it how the jobless men do gamble all day with the little money they've, because this is insane to me but to those people who gamble as the means of their income it's terrible. I rememberd a friend of mine back in the days in school all he does was to gamble all day not going to class, and the gambling favors him alot any time he comes to the hostels he do comes back with a big bag of foods. But that was back then his parents was sending him money, but right now with the economy situation in some countries someone will haven a little money meanwhile he/she have gone alot stress to get the money and he/she will tries to increase the money by gambling. Everyday he/she continues like this hmmm it's bad.

I said let me express my feelings towards this to forum gambling discussion, if their are people who are living in this kind of lifestyle. And what will be your opinion towards the people living in this kind of lifestyle everyday of their life's?

No matter the situation someone is going through in life, the person should not think of gambling as a source of income. People that take gambling as a source of income are most likely going to regret it later. Successful gamblers are the gamblers that make money from real business and not from gambling.

Gambling is a source of income for a greater percentage of gamblers but it is not ideal as an active source but passive source of income. As someone who believe that the primary motivation for a gambler is to make money, I still see gambling as a great source of passive income. Those who have won decent amount of money from gambling can confirm how helpful such wins can be and the quality of joy they bring. Unless as an agent, I will not advice anyone to make gambling a career because the winning is not regular and predictable.

Fact, anyone who chooses gambling as a source of income will live to regret someday because there is this mentality that is attached to gambling in the sense that when you are lucky to win it looks like the winning is gonna keep coming every day and by so doing, addiction begins and you can't do without gambling and will literally use money from other sources to fund your gambling which is to say that gambling can never or should never stand as a source of income.

People who succeed more in gambling are literally people that doesn't take it serious if they lose or win and these set of people have other jobs and businesses they do that gives them huge money so they just see gambling as part of having fun and in the process most of them even record huge wins because they don't take to many risks and they play according to how they can endure in a case of losses.

I've tried a few times but I really can't, it's frustrating and you will end up losing everything you must know your limitations, and the fact about what gambling is if you fail to do that you will become a complete failure.
There are thousands of jobs that you can do to make a living and gambling is never one of them.

The only people who make a profit from gambling are gambling operators and promoters but as a player, you have no chance to win in gambling, there are temptations to make a profit especially if you tasted how is it to make money from gambling, but it's not happy day every day and there are more losing days than winning days.

Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life?

If they can, they are the blessed child of God. It's not possible 99.999% of the time when someone tries to attempt to do that.

I knew people who gamble a lot but their income is not only from gambling, they work day jobs and even gamble their complete wage on betting with the hope of making it 10x or 50x but either way you are the one going to bite the dust cause house always has the edge.

Specifically these so-called successful gambler which you have described are those who invest in the casino's bankroll.  They do not play slots, poker, roulette and expect a big win.They are more of investors than gamblers. They give the casino money to run it's operations and pay winners. Therefore when the casino makes money they also make money. This is gambling business serving as a source of income and not the activity in itself.

Yoir example seems like successful life with gambling as source of income is because the guy is still a student that doesn’t have family to provide financial needs. Besides, he has parents that supports him so evertjing will surely fine regardless if he lose but that doesn’t he will continue to live like this in the long run.

It’s impossible tp have a flawless run in gambling since all games has a negative expected value due to house edge. Even in poker which is possible to have positive expected value is only few manage to be successful in the long run.

Gambling is not a job to be use as source of income.

I don't get your point here because are you trying to say that apart from gamblers that invests in a casino's bankroll that there are no successful gamblers doing real businesses outside gambling that becomes successful in gambling? to me those set of people are more of investors than gamblers because when we talk about gamblers we are actually referring to those who stakes their money in a casino game to also win higher amounts so those people can't take gambling as a source of income.

I have heard the word professional gambling several times and they are seen as people whose main source of income comes through gambling. When you search further, you will see that this set of people are those who have once been won big. Profession gamblers could also be seen as individuals who have full control over their gambling activities. Apart from those who have won big or have enough money aside to take care of their need, anyone who depends on gambling for survival will die of hunger. I might be wrong, but I am speaking based on experience. Most of the unemployed gamblers that I know ended up becoming beggars until they decided to get jobs. Gambling is an unpredictable terrain, which makes income from there unstable. And with an inconsistent source of income, survival will become a problem.

When I was a student, I gamble very well but I did lost more money than I won. What I can say is that the person he is talking about may have losses but he is thinking he is earning money from gambling. It may be the money the parent of the guy is sending that he thinks he is winning while gambling. He may win today and spend and let people notice that he won money in gambling but he may lose tomorrow and not tell anyone.

Since gambling is a something you cannot manipulate the result to be favoring you, you don't need to take gambling as your source of income, and even though you see yourself in the dream about to take gambling as source of income rebuke it and stay away from anything that will make you to take gambling as a source of income.

Many people has loss everything they have on gambling, because they take gambling as source of income which is a wrong decision that can make someone useless in the society, no matter how educated you are in the society because people hate those people that allow gambling to finish their career.

Nothing will make me to take gambling as source of income, because I know that is not everyday winning no matter how experience you are in gambling.

I bet there is someone who is in that kind of lifestyle.

However, I would disagree with using gambling as a source of income. It's better to just trade cryptocurrencies than gamble. With trading, you have the resources on the internet to help out in reading the market and there are now courses for it so you will probably learn there.
In gambling, there's no such thing as learning. You just gambling thinking you can be lucky one day and get a good high multiplier but you are just depending on that. No skills are needed and you are in need of a high capital to make that happen. Also, there's the house edge that will always get back at you. I think I played enough casino games that I could tell there's no such thing as making money in a stable way in gambling. Just forget about it.

Of course, the idea of making gambling a place to earn can never be right, because after all it is too risky and also can never be successful until whenever. As you said above that no matter what our life situation is, it is still ultimately forbidden to make gambling a place to earn. And I'm sure that the majority of gamblers who have that mindset are those who don't understand what gambling is really about, most likely they only see gambling from the chances of winning but don't pay attention to other things where the risk of losing will continue to lurk.

And I will say something based on the fact that winning in gambling is nothing more than something that will only happen by chance, meaning that there is no consistency in terms of winning because of the risk of losing that will continue to lurk which in addition there is no certainty and any guarantee to always be able to get a win at the end of the session, and this is why the idea of making money in gambling is a ridiculous idea because it is impossible to actually be realized.

When you are not a professional gambler or professional game predictor you can't make gamble to be a source of income for you, the more you gamble looking for a way to win, that's when you lose money. While you are working hard harder to win a bet you won't be so concentrated in what ever you are choosing because you are after winning. It's almost like chasing lose. Gamble isn't a good means of source of income, it's a ones in a while winning thing, and source of income are something that provides money for you daily, weekly or monthly. But on gamble, you might gamble a whole month and you will not be able to win even ones, or when you win the money won't be enough to satisfy your needs at that moment. So gamble is not a means of source of income.

Some people are into gambling full time. They won't tell you but the truth is that gambling can make you a lot of profit or even fortune and a lot make you a lot of loss that might render your whole life worthless. Gambling shouldn't be seen as a source of income. You can make good money from it but the moment you take gambling as a source of income, you might become addicted and end up having a bad gambling experience. From your story, your friend as a student took a lot of risk using his school allowance on gambling. I usually advice people especially students to abstain from gambling activities and focus more in their studies and get good grades. But the fact is that percentage of young people who are involved in gambling are students.

I have never seen anyone with this lifestyle that I can say that he’s living a good life. They usually life miserable because even if they manage to win big amount they tend to out it back into their gambling account lost all of them back to the gambling site.

Aside from what I mentioned above, it should also be noted that gambling is not something that can guarantee you success most times there are games that we come across and think that the success rate would be a 100% but at the end they’ll end up losing - no one can predict when they’ll come out with profit or losses so making it your only source of income would be a dangerous thing for anyone to do.

The temptation to double your money or increase it is what attracted people to gamble, whatever type of gambling is that no one can claim that they make a living out of gambling as a bettor.
You can find a job in a gambling platform as a clerk or staff or whatever but never as a bettor so even if you see people flaunting their earnings don't be tempted or believe in these people, those addicted to gambling are quick to show their winnings but ignore their losses.

right, As bad as the circumstances in life never make gambling an escape to make money, don't make it like you are digging for diamonds in the mountains that you don't know the mechanism, it is a stupid and very detrimental act for ourselves even if we have previously had good luck in gambling.

No one recommends gambling as a place to make money, most of them even we recommend gambling as a place of entertainment and a place to spend money just because you want to have fun, even if you get a win it's just a bonus of what we do and get lucky, a mindset like the person the OP told me about will encounter bad luck in his life if he struggles with gambling like that.

In reality no one is rich from gambling or can even maintain and increase his money consistently in gambling to support him, if it were true it would be the most popular industry in the whole world, maybe even the founder of a global company would rather gamble than having to work hard all day and think hard to develop his business if he can easily get money in gambling through luck.

And yes that person in the end only depends on what he makes from work not from gambling, even the money from work is spent on gambling, so where is the right thing here if someone gets more money in gambling, it's not that difficult and only luck might be able to give him that, my point is that there is no sure thing in gambling, gambling to earn money is not a true money solution for survival.
Don't ever think that gambling will give you money for free in the easiest way like a game or pressing a button and watching the machine work.

Yes someone can take gambling as a source of income for their life but it is taken by small number of gamblers only and for specific gambling only.
Mostly for pvp poker and sports betting, and they must be professional on that games so they can make money for a living.
For other games (luck based games) there will be no one who can make a living from these games because the luck is the main factor to win.
There are some lucky people whose life changed a lot from gambling (such as lottery winner) but I do not consider it as taking gambling as source of income.

Not everyone can make gambling a place that can make a lot of money. Maybe only the developers and teams that build gambling places can make the platform they develop a source of wealth. We as users of gambling places have no definite guarantee that gambling places can provide results that can buy all the daily necessities of life. We can make a gambling place that is used for fun and if luck is on our side then we can make extra money with a very small level of success, it is even very impossible to win every day and can make money from a gambling place.

Totally agree. The only successful gamblers for me are the casino owners, traders as gambling will only take money from us not unless we are part of that one in a million lucky winner who won millions or even billions from it that it changed our lives in an instant. Gambling is unstable so why are we making it as a source of income right? We need to find a stable job or acquire special skills to make good source of money  because in gambling luck is super elusive.

yeah, believe it or not, there are people who made gambling as a source of income.

I think it is a foolish and extremely risky way of lifestyle, gambling is unpredictable and earning money from it is not always guaranteed, and if they rely on it to make money they will inevitably experience financial challenges.

I mean technically there are people whom can make a living selling farts in a jar ( this is literally something that some people do), so yeah sure, anyone can make a living from relatively anything, but that of course does not guarantee any level of success, or you being able to make that living.  There are absolutely professional gamble whom make their living my gambling.  However, most people don't have what it takes and even professional gambler can really struggle at times.

I don't think most people are cut out for it.

I agree with you 100%, many don't understand this because there cases like this in my place, I know most of our rich people in my society are involved in gambling which surprises me on how they are winning big big, sometimes I assumed the poor are not been lucky because the game is not favouring them but I final understand with your explanation because even though the lost no one will noticed because they are rich.


so my question do rich people also lost more money than their winnings as it happened to poor people too?

Truth be told that, there are people who gamble professionally and take gambling as their full source of living and o haven’t seen them making any regrets yet but rather living their best lives.
Don’t get me wrong as I’m not actually encouraging gambling but what I’m saying is that, we shouldn’t make it seem like, there aren’t people who are making it through gambling and what matters is that, the gambler is doing the right thing and knows when to stop and when to keep gambling.

I’m not countering you boss but I’m not just on the opinion that, there are actually professional gamblers who make reasonable living out of gambling with gambling as their major source of income.

You are suffering in your life with various problem but it doesn't mean that you don't have any other options. I don't think it's a wise decision to make gambling as this source of income because this is one kind of giving your lifehood living on luck. That's totally a bad idea. Choose and sustainable source for living life don't bring more problem in your life by making gambling for your income.

but only a few gamblers are able to become professional players in games that rely on strategy such as poker or cards, and even though they can rely on their skills and experience in gambling, it is still too risky because it could be that other people are smarter than them and it can make them lose a lot of money in gambling. so it is better for a person to find another job other than gambling to be able to get money and not rely on gambling completely because it is risky.

but their is something I noticed from those people who take gambling as their source of income, they're always restless and inpatient they want to always be on the process of betting and looking forward to the highest amount that they have in mind. But even if they have business does it mean that they should take the gambling serious more than their own personal business no, instead they loses and with the little money they should use and add up with their own personal business they'll sacrifice to the casino gambling. That's an bad idea ever.

I won't argue, it is a fact about some of the risks that would occur if only relying on gambling as the main source to make money.
Because there will indeed be many problems such as addiction that will not be contained, because some people will only get carried away in uncertain games and continue to play despite experiencing many defeats.

But some professional gambling players like professional poker players Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and Fedor Holz are making a lot of money from poker games. In any gambling or game there will be those who dedicate their lives to gambling, but indeed it will be very risky.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ivey
https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Negreanu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedor_Holz

Those who have been in the gambling world for quite a long time, have their own strategies, but also still range to be addicted and other problems. the most important thing is to know the limits and where you need to stop.

but they don't see it like completely risky lifestyle they do see it, as if they're doing something beneficial because they're trying their lucks and you know anything concerning luck might turnover to something big tomorrow. Some people do sleep at the gambling shop just for them to earn the money before going back home, that means they've completely chosen gambling as their work and their source of a living. I know some people have become millionaire today with gambling but it doesn't happen in one day, so that's why most of those people who takes gambling as their source of income thinks that one day it'll surely get to their turn so they keep on taking it as their lifestyles. Then at the end it's becomes addicted.

there is nothing wrong with gambling every day. as long as you have finances that will not be disturbed and your needs are met. It would be strange if they were having difficulty just eating, but instead, they risked their money to gamble. if you win you can eat deliciously. but if you lose then you will be hungry, I'm not sure that can be done.

gambling is not the right way to make it a source of income. Even though some people do it, it's not for everyone to do. Everyone's luck will be different. and if you lose then there will be no income.
look for a better income until you find out that gambling is fun even if you lose. not because of how much money you make from gambling.

I can't even imagine anyone taking gambling as a source of income because it means that you depends on it to earn a living and also provide other life obligations which is impossible because even if you win most of the time, you can't win every day so something that we should take as a source of income is what we are certain that at the end of the day we are sure to get it and on a regular basis so depending on gambling is as well as putting your self under probability always because gambling is a clear game of probability since winning is not assured all the time.

Any one who has other jobs and still focuses more on gambling instead of their other jobs is completely putting their jobs and business in jeopardy especially if you are into business because a time will come when you will exhaust all your business money on gambling  which will be disastrous to you because you have crashed the source in which you use in funding your gambling and at the same time your source of livelihood.

What do you think would happen if that person lose? how would he/she recover if it is their only source of income?
Also how much would their capital be in order to survive? how would they cover their daily expenses?
If they would only rely on gambling it would be impossible to survive, just think about the cost of living even if they are living in a cheap place or country surely they would run out of money.

Any person living a normal life will not have the most positive opinion about such people (described by you). If a person’s entire life is limited to gambling, then this is already a sign of a clinical case and this patient needs treatment. Many are deceived by the apparent ease of access to money in gambling.

"Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life?" - if someone wants to perceive gambling as a source of their income, then so be it. Perception is an absolutely abstract thing. :)

and it's something that triggers this set of people that takes gambling as their source of income. It wasn't something they just started all of a sudden something cost it, and that might be the testimonies of their friends who have tried to succeed with gambling. Not knowing that you don't have to take it as your source of income. So for you, you don't see it like everyday winning but for them they do see it that way. And will all know that gambling is a game of luck not a personal or fixed game that you must win and it'll never come to their mind, that it's all about lucky winner.

Considering gambling as a source of income is definitely a wrong decision. Based on your situation that boy may earn a lot of income from gambling which is different than usual. His life style will be different because winning in gambling can make a lot of money. But the continuity of that victory cannot be kept. One who is gambling must not only win but also lose. Moreover, one of his biggest mistakes is that he is using the time he needs to study in a different way that will have a big impact on his personal life. Moreover, the fate of gamblers who become addicted at a young age is definitely uncertain. If gambling is considered as a center of entertainment and not as a money-making scheme, it will not have any negative impact on personal life.

I see gambling more as entertainment and dopamine satisfaction than as extra income or investment. Gambling is accessible to anyone, but only those who can afford to lose, after many attempts and losses are able to win more than they lose at the game. These are games that require more of the player's skills and knowledge than those based on luck.

Taking gambling as a handwork or gambling every day of your life. It’s just a problem that you may not be able to solve for yourself. How would you be gambling every day taking the money they give to you or your parents to gamble? Yes, gambling is good but the only thing I will advise everyone is to gamble wisely, the most sweetest gambling is when you are gambling with caution and gambling what to gamble the kind of game you have predicted and ask some question because you made definitely make a lot of mistake and that mistake we cost you a lot of lost in your gambling strategies

It is highly unlikely for an average person to make gambling a consistent and reliable source of income. Some people can have short term success gambling is based on chance and luck, making it a risky and unpredictable venture.

Most people who attempt to make gambling their main source of income end up losing more money than they earn. It’s important to approach gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a means of making money.

For me no, because if I want to get a source of income it is through work, business and so on which gives us certainty, not based on luck. However, there are quite a few people who use gambling as a source of income, and that is their choice and right. In fact, they are free to express themselves according to their wishes, especially if it is not against the law. So it's clear, my answer is that it's all the rights of each individual.

However, it is important to know that getting a source of income from gambling is not easy. The point is, someone must play a game based on knowledge, insight and skill. If he had chosen a game of pure luck, I don't guarantee that someone would have produced what they did. Apart from that, even though you, I have experience, knowledge and insight related to certain gambling, it is not certain that we will win every time we bet and that is the challenge.
We often read, hear and even discuss, there are several people who are successful from gambling. Even then, most of them play skill-based games. if you win the jackpot from the lottery, that's different again. My question is, of the many gamblers in the world, we can only count those who have truly become rich.

Now I ask you, how do you and your friends find sources of income from gambling. have you done it before? I'm sure not. regarding the friends you tell, especially in the stories you shared during school, what gambling he did, fiction, online casinos, or traditional betting with his friends. each point, the answer will be slightly different. So, I doubt if your friend can win every time he gambles.

The proper answer to your question is no, it is very unpleasing and a bad reason to gamble. Gambling should never be taken as a source of income, gambling is something we do for fun despite with the intentions of wanting to get profit but that does not mean we should depend on it in order to take care of our bills and needs. There is no certainty of winning any gambling participation so why risk our finance into something that has lesser probability of working out.

I can't say for sure that no one became rich just only by gambling which is why I limited the possibility of not happening to 99.999% because theoretically it is possible but most of them won't have such amount of luck with them and I belong to that category as well.

I would like to recall that Gambling is indeed one of the popular as well as successful industries and that makes sense cause casinos got the edge so they will end up with more money on the table if more people are gambling but if you thought that gambling will be popular if gamblers become successful then you're wrong.

When you ask me whether I should make gambling as a main source of income, I will loudly say no. Because that will be like putting my head in one basket of which if the basket leaks, you have absolutely nothing to do about it. That's the kind of scenario I will give to anyone trying to take gambling their main source of income. The purpose of gambling to me is for fun. It's a game that you play with fun and not for a living.

The only ones who do make money are into those gamblers who have been dealing up with strategic based kind of gambling like on sports betting or poker. I dont see any possibilities about dealing up with casino games on which we know that this is really that heavily relying on luck on which it would really be just that not ideal for you to consider out on making it as a source of income. For those people who do have that kind of delusional approach towards gambling then just let them be. They are the ones who would really be able to suffer up such condition because they wont really be having those kind of realizations not until they would really be experiencing those unfortunate conditions. They would really be playing as much as they could and trying out to force for things to work without having those realizations that its not something possible.

We cant really be lucky anytime when playing gambling. Even if you do deal up with poker or sports bet, it wont really be still giving out that kind of guarantee when it comes to success.

Will that guarantee gambling as a source of income? It's a bad thing that they will lose everything they have.
For me, anyone who considers gambling as a source of income then he has a mindset that wants to get rich quickly, does not want to work hard that there is only silence and continues to play gambling.
You know how many people think like this? It's very rare even gambling for them is fun in their free time they don't force it because they know gambling at the end will lose.

Of course, the facts about gambling will somehow reject the idea of earning that the majority of gamblers carry with them, and one of them is as you have said above that in gambling there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning, everything is always random and this is the reason why gambling is often referred to as an activity that can never be predicted. And yes it is true that some people can be successful in the short term in the sense that only when luck comes at the right time, and it is a fact that everything that is only based on luck can never be used as a place to earn.

The logic is how can we make money if the victory only comes when luck comes at the right time, and yes it is true that most people who try to make gambling a place to earn always end up with various downturns in their lives, and we can see how the situation is experienced by gambling addicts, and because of the bad effects that is why gambling is always recommended to be used as a place to seek entertainment only, the reason is clear.

Talking about gambling as a source of income is one of the worst things I will even think about. How are you going to wake up, then you will gamble throughout the day, and you will keep on repeating that every day, no matter how you are making money, gambling shouldn’t be taken as your only source of income. If you are gambling just for the sake of money, then you are supposed to have other sources of income. Get yourself a job, or get yourself a business and make money from it. If people see you gambling every day, then they will think you are an irresponsible person.

Your friend might be gambling, and it’s going to be in his favor, but time might come when things won’t really be going well for him, he might end up spending everything they are sending to him on gambling, and he will be losing it all. Then maybe that’s when he will end up regretting why he gambled with the money. When gambling, always know when to stop, even when you are winning.

That's their life to live and we have our own to live as well.

If gambling is their profound hobby and profession, you can't go against them if they know what they are doing. There are real full time and professional gamblers and they're able to save a lot of assets as well while doing this.

It can be a hobby to someone and as well as day job to the others. But if you're just a casual gambler, don't think that you'd be the same as them because you're still far from what they've gone through.

Do you know anyone for real who is living this kind of lifestyle, or do you only see them boasting their luxurious lives on the internet? You have to be careful on who you trust on the internet, because most of the stories you see around aren't genuine. People are used to fake personal experiences, skills and stories in order to look more attractive to the audience and earn followers, views and sell their products. That is how they make a living from.

The lifestyle is just the propaganda and the tool they use to generate income for themselves. And in most cases, probably the income they make from it wouldn't be enough to pay for the lifestyle they are boasting. I've already seen these people renting luxurious cars, mansions and using fake piles of paper money to record videos to their public. So they give the impression it's everything real, while in fact it's not.

You should be aware about that, especially regards gamblers, since we know the more they play, more money they are going to lose, due to the house edge feature, which proportionates the house to have an advantage over games' results, and that can't be beaten on long run.

The system is not made to filter out those that make little deposits and make sure they lose their bets, if anything it should be those with large bankroll that should be facing loses as they are the ones the casino will make more profits from.

If you check drakes and other celebrities that wager large amount you’ll see that they also lose their bets - although, we can’t tell the ratio of their losses to their wins but the fact that they lose publicly means that there is a possibility of them experiencing losing streaks.

Those gamblers who think that gambling can be a source of income are desperate people, because they may be too lazy to work in companies, they want their time and they saw that in gambling. But they did not see that there is no certainty of getting a profit here.

Because the real source of income can only be found in opportunity investments, trading in stocks, cryptocurrency, traditional business or online business and etc. Not gambling. Because the profit in any type of gambling is really just luck and no skills are discussed there.

It depends...
Some people say that it is possible to earn a lot of extra money and even make a living from sports betting, just for them, but I myself doubt that this is possible.
The issue is that many people still confuse sports betting with gambling and this generates a lot of misinformation.

Gambling, although it can yield a very high profit, has a very small probability of winning. Furthermore, casinos have the math on their side, meaning even if you win once, you can't always win, or at least it's very difficult to keep winning consistently.

In sports betting, the bettor can find valuable probabilities, and even though it is almost impossible to predict exactly the probability of an event happening, those who can define the fair odds with greater precision can check whether the probability that the site offers is valuable or not. and make a profit from it.

In sports betting, the possibility of winning a lot of money at once exists if you place an accumulator bet or bet on results that are difficult to predict. As the gains are limited, so are the losses. But, if the bettor controls the risks and develops efficient bankroll management, it may be possible to accumulate small profits on several bets and live solely on that.

How can someone make gambling a job? I seriously don't understand what you're talking about. I get how gambling companies make money, but I can't see how someone could wake up every morning and gamble for their livelihood. Most of the money people use for gambling comes from other sources, not from gambling itself, so it doesn't seem possible to me.

Gambling should not and can never be a dependable source of income for a person. It is very bad if you use gambling as a source of income because return on investment is not guaranteed and can tarnish your image even in the society for engaging in such acts. People play if for pleasure, fun etc; but making it a major source of income is where the whirl stop stick about it will come in. You can’t over smart it, so it is better not to try to than to fall into and regret such actions that are irreversible after it has happened. All money used for gambling are not majorly source out from gambling, it is always from other sources.

I mean you can but you've got to have a really good knack for gambling and you're smart enough to know how the deal in casinos work and what I mean by that is that you're good at understanding that the casino will kick out players that are winning so much and sometimes if they're the scummy kind of casino, they might not even credit you. The difficult thing about making gambling your income is that there's definitely days where you're at a loss and that's not really an advisable thing to happen for your stable income because you still have a lot of needs and it's stupid of someone if they don't deal with their priorities first and then do all the gambling.

Some people fall to a trap due to desperation and they expect something huge because they didn't realize those consequences of each decision they have done. If they think gambling can possibly be their way to get a profit or became their steady source of income well maybe they need to have reality checking if this already happened to someone. Also they need to know by the word gambling the risk is so high for them to lose their money their.

That's why its important for them to know that if they don't have much and they are struggling on life especially for buying foods or their basic needs then its more advisable for them not to gamble. What they need to do is to take care first their selves and buy those important thing that can help them survive. Only think gambling when they have extra funds which they can afford to lose since for sure they would have great experience to deal with it if they don't do profit chasing since this is so stressful action or decision to be done by some people.

many persons who is into gambling have already experienced the advantages in gambling and the risk that involve into gambling this class of people is the people I know very well that they cannot tell you that gambling can become a source of income many people who does not know of gambling or people who is new in gambling can be the one to say that a gambling is a source of income from their own understanding so what I'm saying is that try to practice and examine things before you come be able to come into conclusion. Quantum I want to say is that let us not think that gambling is away to make more money or away to make additional money in the morning you have because nobody can predict you can gamble in order to make a profit and luck run against you  lose, I think you have don't need to think that gambling is a source of income.

It would be quite irresponsible to take gambling as a source of income, gambling is a gane of uncertainty you never know the outcome untill its concluded and how can you have a life under such terms, IMO gambling can not be seen as a source of income or even wellbeing no matter how good you are at it.

I don't even know why someone would even think of making gambling as a source of income, I mean there is absolutely no certainty to what will happen the next minute with your gambling session so you relying on that is completely absurd and should I say share stupidity to have such mentality. Like you said success rate is never assured on every gambling session so their is absolutely no way to make this as an ends means.

Gambling is not reliable to hold on it as a source of income , one of the biggest mistakes is to see gambling as a way that money can be generated through it. Depending on gambling can just makes one life to become very miserable, instead of hoping on gambling it is better to go for other things as a source of income . Gambling will always be unpredictable and their is nothing can change this . From what I have observed in gambling it is like the more you hope on gambling to generate money the more it Dissapoints you but when you play gambling just for fun and not expecting so much from it the lucks always comes. I have also come to realised that those who depend on gambling as a source of incomes always become depressed because it is hard for them to get what they expect in gambling.

If there is someone out there making profits out of gambling then that is good for them, after all it is not easy at all to accomplish this task as they literally have everything against them, however it is because of this that I would not recommend such a lifestyle to anyone, as most of us are used to get our salary each month and we can plan accordingly, but a person that has become a professional gambler does not have that luxury, and they could spend months or even a year losing money before things change for the better.

Your first paragraph & LFC_Bitcoin actually got my attention and I also agree with you that making gambling a profession wouldn’t be an easy one for people who don’t have a reasonable source of income.
And these has raise a thought in me that, to be successful in gambling you need much more money so as to keep trying even after your loss.

I was also going through a casino game site and was actually paying very close attention to a particular user and I discovered that, thy very user for three consecutive days has been gambling and he makes over 5 times his losses for the three days and he doesn’t gamble with little amount and for people who are familiar with aviator games on bc.Game site we will agree that, just as there are losses, there are also incredible winnings  and there are people who are living their dream lives off gambling but why matters is that, the gambler knows the gambling ethics of when to stop and when to continue.

There will be problems on the way in life, those who overcome these problems can achieve success in life. However, those who gamble face many problems such as spending extra money on gambling. Spending extra money can lead to happiness and peace with family.  There are a lot of problems to live with. There are people who lose money by gambling and spend more time gambling to recover these lost money, which risks losing more money.

you aren't wrong, because majority of people who takes gambling as their source of income and they don't have a job. And mostly the ones that I do see most are graduate, why the graduates? Some of them will say the government didn't not provide good job for them, so they've been surviving with this gambling for years till now. For me I call that laziness because their some people who are graduate with no work but they went ahead and lent work for their selves, even if that's not what they have in mind of doing but they're doing it so that they won't beg for food tomorrow. So anyone who takes gambling as their source of income they're abnormal, nevertheless those one's who takes it as their source it's only when you own a business of your own. That's much better.

And with that, we can say that gambling in no way shape or form can replace a regular job as a source of income. I do that as well in the past, but it did not end well as there are days that I will win and I'm so happy that I have money and treated it like a salary for week.

But most of the time, I got loses and everything is piling up until such time that I do look for a 9-5 paying job and stop my gambling for good. Although I will admit that I still play and gamble from time to time even in sports betting but I do acknowledge my big mistakes in the past with that kind of mindset.

sometimes why people get involve of taking gambling as their source of income, maybe they've a problem or they've heard of some testimonies from somewhere else. All gamblers are aware that their is no certain of winning in gambling, and they all knew that it's a game of risk and luck so for me before they make gambling as their source of income, their is something that triggers them taking gambling so far. Some it wasn't their intention but with the process they get so addicted that every day of their life's they gambles. And your answer isn't bad towards the question.

 Well, I don't think that's a wise move to make; taking gambling as a source of income because what are the odds that'd you'd win at least three times a week. Where I come from, with prices of good always on the high and the cost of living trying to kill the living, it will be sheer stupidity to take on gambling as a source of income because there is no assurance of winning steadily and you don't want to waste funds that would have been used to achieve something else on gambling, so I don't see it as a thought someone wants to have.

This has been discussed multiplt times, dont ever and ever make gambling as source of income or doubling your income, because you will only face the misery or you will make your life more miserable, I mean many people think that when they gambler they could double their money and because if that they will use their important funds, but eventually lose it all, the result is they will go crazy because if they just use the money to its purpose and not use to gamble then they have a little problem but they make it worst just because they want to double their funds or money which a stupid idea, I dont get it why many gamblers think that they could win if they will use an important money, little they know they are just being stupid thinking in that way. So just make a living with a stable salary rather than expecting gambling to give you a better life.

Never compare yourself as a Worker than those people who is jobless but still manage to gamble because
for sure they are either in credit or doing crime just to sustain their gambling habit because there are no complete
winning and not gonna fed your family from gambling.
though there are some who are as expert in gambling that manage to live even luxurious life through
gambling but remember that this is just a small count of people that managed living than those losers.

Trust me it is not worth trying mate.

Have had this gambling addiction or should I say super active gambling in the past that sometimes I even skip my work just to sustain my gambling desire.

yeah Sometimes I win but most of the time I lose ,  yeah I can take home big time but  the continuity will be losing so what is the sense of doing such when the gain is not even enough to feed yourself rightfully .

so my answer is NOPE ,  this cannot be a source of income in daily basis.

Well using gambling as your source of income is never a good decision for someone because once you do that you are going to end up being useless in life, although once you make gambling as your source of income you will notice that your possibility of wining a gambling bet we very slim why because you have already put in your all mind that at the end of the day that you are going won a bet.

You can, but that doesn't mean you should. Can you guarantee that you'll make enough to make ends meet? Probably not, and what's going to happen if you don't? You're seriously contemplating whether or not it's a good idea to base your livelihood on luck-based games? It's irresponsible to even think about it. Gambling may be profitable for short-term profit, but you cannot make a living through it. Maybe some people have managed it, but there are only a few, while 99% of those who attempted it ultimately ended up losing more than they've earned.

It's your call, is it worth the risk?

I'm very confident that it's the same with trading. Everyone wants to gamble on their favorite shitcoins, and trade their way into making "millions of U.S. Dollars", buy a nice car, and get the girl of their dreams, BUT merely the top 10% of the smartest and most hard-working active day-traders actually make it. The rest of us are left and still are the plebs in they community. That's why the best path forward for us is to accept the the slower journey and simply buy Bitcoin, and HODL.

If you ask me, I would say that it may be that those people you saw there don't come every day but you may have met them repeatedly or often times and such coincidence may occure to you that their life dipends on gambling everyday, but it may not be as you Think. Although I don't disprove the fact that people don't gamble everyday. My only advise for every gambler out there is never to gamble everyday otherwise such person will go bankrupt. In as much as  gambling is good to try lucky and have fun, we should not over do it otherwise it will affect us negatively. Gambling is good but we should play with caution.

What do we mean by source of income? A source or sources where we generate money for our upkeep on a daily basis. To live a moderate lifestyle, these sources have to be reliable and consistent else you'll live a miserable life if the source seized to be productive. Now, let relate this to gambling, do you think gambling can stand in place of this source of income? I know gambling is some time favorable to us that we may think of making it a source of income but our mind changed once we encounter some streaks of loses.

Winning in gambling is not always guaranteed and making it a source of income simply means that you don't have a reliable source of income. This could result to having a mixture of good life when you win and a terrible life when you are not winning. If one think they can survive for as many days as it takes for them to win, then they can make it their source of income.

This all happens because they think that gambling is the right place to multiply money easily and quickly, they only look at the results and only think about the ease of getting money, there is no risk in thinking about each of these decisions.
If someone can understand well what gambling is then they will be able to find out how difficult it is to get lucky to win and how big the chances of losing are, risk is always present at any time when someone has started gambling and this can give unimaginable bad results.
Basically, gambling is place to spend money, not to make money, so those with the mindset of being able to use gambling as source of additional income, then as time goes by they will feel that losses are felt much more than profits.

It cannot be denied that there are still many people who think they can make money from gambling and try to make gambling source of income, this kind of attitude cannot really be eliminated and gamblers with goals like this will also continue to emerge.
On average, beginners are gamblers who have the goal of making money and they will only realize that what they did was mistake when they have experienced bitter experience that cannot be easily accepted.

Someone can argue that nobody can make a successful career in gambling and they'll say that it is only irresponsible people that will take gambling as their only source of income because the probability of loses is far greater than winnings. But I agree with your analysis that there are people who can earn from gambling as a source of income, and they are the casinos and bet companies owners, including those that invests in reputable gambling establishments.

Because gambling is a lucrative industry where they make more money than what they pay out,  the owners and investors can make it their sole sources of income, but it's very unfavorable for the gamblers that bet their money to make it a sole source of income.

Yes, usually gamblers who use gambling as a source of income usually don't have a job and are unemployed because their time is only spent gambling, it doesn't matter where the money they get from gambling is either committing a crime or through loans, the point is that there are no gambling experts who are good at making money. money all the time even though he is part of the casino owner, after all it is difficult to beat the dealer especially if you only rely on games in the casino such as slots where winning depends on luck.

I think we all know that gambling should just be for fun and as entertainment nothing more than that, only people who live alone can gamble every day and earn income from gambling, I have a friend too, he is like that, he always hopes to win when gambling. because he has lost a lot of money, in the end he is currently in prison due to legal problems and committing crimes, therefore stop thinking that gambling can make money, it is clear that it will not be possible.

I mean, just use your common sense.

Even we know house edge makes the casino will always win, but if someone can overtake the house edge, why not? it's easy to track if you win or lose, always record all of your deposits and amount you've withdraw. If the amount you withdraw bigger than your deposits, you're in profit and if the amount can reach your monthly cost, you can live by gambling.

Rather than asking whether it's possible to take gambling as a source of income, I'd want to see who can live just by gambling.

Anyone that is using gambling as job is hopeless, because gambling gives false hope and waste your time. I will call them lazy people and they will die wretched if they don't come back to their normal senses and look for a job to do. Gambling is unpredictable, and another reason is that if you win big today since you have taking gambling to be a job, you will spend the money without caution believing that you will win tomorrow.

Gambling should be done for pleasure at our own leisure time, and not what we take personally to the extend that we are looking for how to survive with gambling. Addiction will be the case, because you will gambling everyday and a time will come that you will not have money to gamble, because you are not working and at the same time ha e lost all bankroll. These set of gamblers are the ones that will start taking loans and selling their properties. If a rich man can get reckt in gambling, then what will happen to you that don't have a job.

What kind of gambling your friend was doing? If it were some purely luck-based games, and I'm almost sure that that was the case, how could he make profits consistently? It's impossible. The most likely scenario is that his parents were sending him $200, he was losing $100 to gambling, and was buying a big bag of foods with the rest of the money most of the time. I mean, of course, he could win in one day or another, but he couldn't be winning constantly.

Also, everyone here will tell that trying to increase money by gambling is not actually a good idea.

it's not just laziness but an high level of nonchalant attitude that can only come from someone that has no plan for his life. Do you just work because you want to be able to feed yourself and that's it? What happen to creating a good stream of income outside of gambling that can generate money for you even while you're not working? Anyone that's relying on wining in a gamble as his only source of income will only end up eating from hands to mouth. It's no doubt that some lucky individuals have won huge amount of money through gambling but if you don't have a single plan regarding what you're going to put the money you've won into, at the end of the spending  it out, the only option you will be left with wull be to go back into gambling to recovering the money and then continue tye circle almost the same way.

I've seen lots of youth who makes it there lifestyle to always depend on gambling as a major source of income and the end product of such decision is always addiction.

Gambling requires luck as well as gambling experience. If you have good gambling experience, you can win most of the gambling games. And those who are new to gambling often face losses due to their lack of experience. Again, if someone has too much  If you gamble then you are more likely to lose the time gambling because overtime gambling is more likely to make wrong decisions resulting in higher chances of winning and losing.

Theoretically, gambling can be a source of income, but it should not be be a primary, and person should accept the fact of instability of such income. In addition such source require constant investments. Gambling definitely is not a job, but a person can always test luck in daily or weekly poker freerolls. Anyway, I would not recommend to expect to earn from gambling much.

What theory you are using that concludes that gambling can be a source of income? It needs to provide a regular supply in able to be considered as source of income which is not possible on gambling since it has a house edge which is many times being brought up and discussed on this board.

There’s no way a gambling with -EV can give a regular supply of money for income. Maybe the other way around, We as players can be a source of income by the casino through gambling.

There’s no way a casino will let users get consistent profit and milk from them in long term.  :D

But that is not enough reason as to why they should take gambling as a source of income, any little money that have they run into playing gamble and from there poverty strikes in, the user will go from being just poor to selling of his properties and other assets and if the gambling as his source of income doesn't change his financial status then he might end up being homeless because he can't save to pay up the rent.

Even when gambling can't be a source of income, unless you are one of those who are good at cheating in all kinds of gambling, then it can be said that for a gambler who is a cheater,
it is a source of income, right? But if we are just ordinary gamblers, it really cannot be.

Maybe for other people who get a jackpot in gambling who are just really lucky, they can say that this is a possible source of income, but for gamblers who don't often win gambling,
I don't think so.

As a main source of income? I don't think so and even others are fortunate to be lucky and win a decent amount, we know that's not the case for majority of gamblers. Therefore it's quite hard to make a living just by relying entirely on gambling. The reason why we often advice the gamblers to only use a spare money and have less expectation.

Gambling is not the answer to earn a stable income (that's the fact). If you're motivated that you can do it just because you see others won and became an instant rich, don't think the same fate will also happen to you because luck is still a major factor to win.

I wouldn't describe gambling as a means of earning money. Otherwise, we can ask such people: How was your day? In response, we will hear: I’m exhausted because I worked a lot. It's funny, isn't it? People justify their addiction by falsely claiming that gaming works for them. It is an addiction that is very difficult to cure. I have heard stories about those men who came to the casino and wore diapers so as not to look away from the game. Isn't this crazy?
In order not to go crazy and get into ridiculous situations, you need to understand and accept that gambling is entertainment. If you are lucky enough to win, withdraw your winnings and spend them on other needs so you can walk away as a winner.

For these two it is the main source of income:

Billy Walters (gambler) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Walters_(gambler)#:~:text=His%20plaque%20reads%3A%20%22BIlly%20Walters,sports%20bettor%20of%20all%20time.)

Phil Ivey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ivey)

Although they do not bet on typical casino games and they are exceptional players but there are many who are not known at all and have it as a main source of income or a side income, as long as we talk about sports betting and poker.

Thank God no,absolutely no as this is a devastating destruction to your life.Trying to increase your money through gambling is a fatal mistake which brings misery in 99.99999% of cases as very rarely,in fact I have never seen a jobless or homeless person making it to being a multimillionaire from gambling.Conducting such a way of life for me is an assurance to a stressful life full of pain and almost zero positive emotions and this also impacts someone life longevity for the worse because of such stress.Anyone conducting such a way of life should stop immediately and try to find a job and only gamble a small percentage of their salary,this can improve the way of life.

Possible, if you are an active gambler and streamer, you can do gambling as a source of income with your contract with them and also the earnings in their stream too, beside that you can get a source of income by gambling in table top games such as blackjack, baccarat, etc. personally I don't see a potential in slot games because its base on the luck but with the table top games you can get a chance of winning through the number cards, patterns, probability and statistics of course there's a possible data than taking in slot if you are well skilled in this you can gain profit with this game.

If you know active gamblers, you can use their affiliate system, which has a percentage of earnings depending on their deposit or what their terms are.

It's hard to say that given how the odds of winning big money consistently in most gambling games is really low for the player, I don't think that it's an advisable move for someone to take gambling as their source of income, it's not a consistent way to make money and it doesn't give you anything to work with because if you are on a lose streak that day, you're not going to eat anything, it's never going to be a fine time for you too because you're sweaty at playing since you're playing competitively and not for the usual entertainment value of gambling.

Gambling cannot be said to be healthy source of income, the reason is that, gambling or winning your bet is not a guarantee, so how do you place your source of livelihood on uncertainty. Your friend had free money sent by his parents regularly, that was the steady supply of cash that he had to help him stake and win, I'm sure by then if his parents stopped sending him money, maybe he too would have reduced his betting time.  So you need a real job, to help you finance your gambling, except yours a heavy staker that wins huge amount of money regularly that can sustain you and your family till another big win, and that is very rare in the gambling world.

        -     I kind of agree with what you mentioned, mate, because even if he loses gambling, because he is a streamer and he has the same influencers on YouTube or Facebook, for sure he will win back those who lose gambling. Maybe it's because he doesn't feel like he's losing yet.

Because when someone signs up and makes a deposit, he has a large commission on other people's deposits using his referral link when he signed up. So it can be said that this is a stable source of income as long as there are people who deposit and watch its live stream.

I doubt that, with good experience it may be more about minimizing losses, not being able to win most of them. In addition, I think that people who have experienced gambling are able to limit their gambling activities and actions, unlike beginners who usually take action without considering it first until what happens is losses and emotions that make them experience greater losses.

With someone who gambles too much it is clear that they will lose time and money, although there is a chance to get a win or profit but it is not certain because in gambling for players the chances of losing are greater than the chances of winning and for the host the chances of winning are greater than the chances of losing. The number of gamblers who have suffered heavy losses is because they are too confident that they can win with the gambling they do.

I think however it is clear that gambling can never be used as a place to earn money or earn a living to meet the needs of life, but I will say that gambling can be used as a place to earn money if you are someone who owns a casino, because it is clear that the overall profit actually only for the casino itself, especially when many gamblers experience losses.

But if for example you are nothing more than an ordinary gambler then I think making a profit in gambling is an impossible idea, I understand that you can win but what we have to understand is that winnings in gambling only come occasionally and by chance, whoever it is will not never know about what will happen at the end of the session between winning or losing, and also in my opinion there are quite a lot of cases of addicted gamblers who experience bad impacts in their lives such as losing balance in their financial situation or having a lot of debt which we can use as proof that when someone puts excessive intentions towards winning in gambling, the opposite will happen, meaning that instead of making money, you will actually lose more money.

Sincerely this requires precision, and also the type of game such gambler chooses to play. The gambler must first have a good, balance source of income and the most needed will be Risk Management in his gambling habits, what will bring breakthrough is chance meeting opportunity but the Truth is not everyone get there. Many return with Addition, debts, Financial crisis, etc.
The only stable way is passive which is Affiliation, promotion, of gambling sites.
Be cautious, build a better life and gamble responsibly.

It is a dangerous thing to consider gambling as a source of income. Most of these paths are started on seeing youtubers posting gambling streams and appearing as they are earning from it. This is complete opposite of the reality and a twisting of the real facts.

Most people who earn from gambling do not gamble directly. They might be affiliate marketing for the casino, streaming to make the casino popular to their viewers and earn from their views and write books on gambling and sell but, but NEVER actually gamble.

As soon as you start gambling you enter the vicious cycle of loss and chasing the loss.

Any investment that your loses is always bigger that your winning is not a good investment, it could be reasonable if the winning and the lose are in the same range, and if the winning is bigger than the lose then you can fully call it an investment or a source of income. When salaries are been paid to workers there is no reduction if the worker did his/her job completely. Its not everyone that should call gamble a source of income, it is only those people that are always profiting from gamble that should call it a source of income because they are always winning.

In fact, there is no problem if he is a lover of gambling and even uses gambling as an income in his life, it doesn't matter if he has extensive experience in gambling, or has an effective way of gambling, or has a strategy that looks at the weaknesses of the gambling system, from one to another. Of the three I mentioned, of course there are many who do this because it can be an advantage for them to fulfill their daily lives.

This kind of lifestyle is not good at all. There is a research explained that human behaviour can be affected by what they do everyday, i remembered that this called "21 Days Theory". So, i think this behaviour is very bad for their life even can be an addiction. This is really bad for their ways to get some profits. Otherside, this lifestyle could be affected them in the future, it makes them to be a lazy person to open their mind to get any income, they only wanna do this way to get profits. The question is "do they always can get this kind of lifestyle to make their life?".

I usually tell people that their people that they don’t do any other thing but gamble and they are doing well for them self, most of the things I have in my house are gotten from gambling and is not more than that. Since I have a lot of things on my chart list if I make a win I just pay for the order. And for somebody like me that enjoys gambling so much. And that is why after every season I find it very difficult to enjoy my self because there will be lesser games to bet on. So can wait for premier league and the champions league to continue I enjoy watching my boys play aside betting. Their are strategies to use if you want to enjoy gambling because if you don’t adopt your own strategy then you won’t win that much, is better to draft out plans of how to go about your gambling so that you don’t end up wasting money and you are not winning that’s going to be a terrible experience.

Even though we can make a profit there, gambling cannot be considered our main income, even though we are no matter how skilled we are at playing the games there, we can be trapped in unpredictable losses. Make gambling like a hobby or side income. Look for a sure source of income, whether you work or open a business, as you said above, your life is much better than hoping to make a profit from gambling.

Glad to know gambling works for you. One interesting thing I picked from all you've said is that whenever you win, you utilise the money well, not all gamblers do this and that is why people think gamblers are usually miserable and irresponsible people. I think that way too about gamblers who rely on gambling as a source of income because I have seen a good number of gamblers like that in my area and their living conditions are nothing to write home about.

Gambling will certainly not be for everyone. Even though there are actually lots of money to be gotten from gambling, I won't advice anyone to rely 100% on gambling no matter how skilled you are. What happens when luck doesn't shine on you consecutively? Or when the leagues are over just like you stated above? Gambling does not guarantee a stable source of income, gamblers should have a stable source of income and compliment it with gambling income.

It is very true, now things are different than how young people think today, we have to be aware of what is done, how it is done and why it is done, personally I have always said that when it comes to doing better so that gambling does not affect our lives, then we have to take order in our expenses, it is not the same to go to a casino to go spend on the things necessary for us, in our daily life, and if there is family involved much less, I believe that the trick to all this is money management, as long as there is total and absolute control of money everything will go well, and you will have the best option to play in a casino.

Yes for a small number of people who have the expertise to see loopholes in gambling so that they can play games that can get a win like you mentioned maybe it is possible, but maybe we have to become experts in certain fields such as IT, at least we can find out system failures and we use them to take advantage but as if playing normally that is not suspected by the casino.

Because only relying on general gambling alone we can only rely on luck in the gambling activities we do and it is very difficult to get consistent profits so that it can be used as an active source of income, so if only based on that it is still a difficult thing.

If someone do able to make a living with gambling then good for him/her on which this is something that not all would really be able to achieve.Pretty sure that huge numbers or percentage of gamblers do really tend to chase up with this kind of target towards gambling on which for them to be that sustainable or could really be able to constant and make a living with it. Yes, its possible but it is really that close to impossible. This is why it wont really be that ideal that you do make yourself having this kind of mindset on the moment that you would really be dealing up with gambling. We do know that it is really just that for the sake of fun and not for money.
On the moment that you would really be having that kind of goal towards your gambling activity then you are really that putting up yourself into so much trouble and this is something that you do make yourself wary
at least so that you could really be able to avoid.

Never ever make yourself believe that gambling is really that considered to be a source of income and it is really just that for entertainment and fun.One of the main reasons on why people do mess up their lives just because they are really that anticipating that it could really be that so easy on achieving this condition on which we know that it is really that close to impossible or zero chance.

Never have excessive hopes for winning at gambling if you are nothing more than an ordinary gambler and do not have any close relationship with the casino owner. Because in the end this mindset will only lead us to the possibility of significant disaster as has been experienced by gambling addicts. This means that making gambling your main income to meet your living needs is really a ridiculous idea, because what we have to pay attention to is that gambling has risks which can sometimes be very high when done in the wrong way. In addition, to be able to win, a gambler must really be in a situation of good luck, while luck will not always come according to our wishes.

So of course the point is that the idea of ​​making gambling your main income is a stupid idea, because it's the same as relying on luck or something uncertain for your life and your family, while the necessities of life can never be tolerated, so of course it's like that. You said that it is better to look for a job that is certain - of course, in the sense that it can provide guaranteed income such as a monthly salary without involving any risks.

There are actually people who does this and I have a friend of mine who does it as well. At first I thought it was easy but according to him, it takes allot of risk and betting management to make it efficient. Self discipline is also a virtue and he always make sure that his emotions wouldn't be taking over his gambling habits. He also avoids being greedy of profit and he's maintaining at least 50% (Actually high in my opinion) would make him take profit. There are days he's at loss and as we all know that's normal. He also has betting strategies which helps him to be effecient given that not in all days he would be winning his games. There are also aspects he find difficult to explain but I somehow get it. With profit, he would be sometimes up for 2 months then sometimes he'd be off. He also has freelance workloads in order to relieve him if things won't be too generous on his gambling sessions.

but I want to ask, what is the main purpose of gambling in our lifes? For me their was something that makes a gambler to take gambling as something valuable in their life, you can't just wake up one day and start gambling their is something really trigger you of doing it. That you see in it, so it seems the main point is the more incomes in it so people really focused on it as their savor in life. But nevertheless taking gambling as your way of surviving in this life it's really a bad idea ever. It's only people who see favor towards it can take it as their source of income in their lifes.

This could be situation and to some gambler they managed this but to many, they become broke and become addict because of too much gambling exposure to the fact that they are spending big money already while some of it came from debt money. If you have a big cash buffer and can afford to rely on gambling earnings itself then it’s ok as long as you know what you are doing and as long as you’re ready for the risk.

with this i rememberd back days at school and we take gambling so serious but our mom was telling us to stop, not knowing why they were telling us stop gambling. For me gambling is like a poison whenever you're onto it and you've seen some little income that comes from it, you become more serious towards it and from then you started taking it as your source of income in your life. But the best way of enjoying it. It's only when you've a business that can generate a daily income to you,  and just as you said not everyone gets there and some people returns with addition and becomes something worse in their lifestyle. But can't this set of people see it like not everyday winning something, it doesn't matter the type of game you choose all i know it's not responsible. Taking it as your source of income with surviving in life.

Well I have seen many topics like this both on and off this community and in all my final statement or agreement is that I don't see how it's possible for someone to actually make "Gambling" something with so much high probability of not getting your desired results as something you earn daily from is just not possible even if you are claiming to be an expert or professional gambler, the fact which stamps you to lose maybe on a big margin is still there.

What will I say if they want to be full time gamblers? Nothing. They can live freely whenever and however they want. So if gambling is the kind of life that they can do and do it as a full time source of income, I won't be surprised with that because I have seen people that does it even long time ago when I don't know crypto gambling yet. If that is the kind of lifestyle that they want to live and they are seeing themselves to do more of it because they're optimistic with this kind of life and approach, just let them do what they think is right for them.

Everyone is free to do whatever we want into this world, especially if you're living in a free country. Your opinion doesn't matter for the lives of the others and they will only listen to good advises when they are experiencing something terrible and with that, that's how they want to change their lives. So, if they can live happily with that, we can't break their happiness but for sure with the kind of living through gambling. That will be a roller coaster ride which is gonna be up and down for the most of us. I guess we go with the term that it's already 2024 and we still try to meddle with others life.  ;D

Gambling consistently to increase your profits or using as something to always get profits is going to do you nothing than harm instead of good and that's why it not advisable to even try such habits because you would be surprised how fast this kind of habit can get stuck in your mentality. One thing about gambling that really amazes me, it's how people tend to be quickly lost in the act because I know very well that the habit is something that will get stuck in your thoughts if you continue to take as a means of earning plus it's also time consuming when you are chasing those wins.

That is exactly true. It is none of our business if they want to live it that way, so be it. As long as they are not harming you, they have their own freedom to do what they want in life. Do take note, a lot of poker players especially professional ones and sportsbettors are making gambling as their main source of income. So it is no surprise that some of them  are really making a living out of their gambling activities.

That is what we're seeing, the same thing. There are real professional gamblers and they are living the way they want, they're happy and they don't harm other with what they do. It's their money that they are gambling with and I don't know what happens next if they're losing, maybe the control is in there and they know that they have to take a rest and go back some other day again. In the forum, there are a lot of full time gamblers but for sure they know what they are doing and they don't even admit that to remain themselves lowkey.

But I don't think that they're experiencing something bad with that because mostly here are holding crypto and they'd probably set for life and are just doing it without having no issues at all. It could be for fun sometimes but it's mostly about the profit when they can see that it should be. So, whether we like it or not, there are people that are going to gamble for full time and will treat it as a source of income and for us that are not on their shoes, we can also do something that's related to gambling and earn through it by not gambling, if you know what I mean and that's through affiliate marketing.

OP, I'll say no. Gambling cannot be a source of income for a live hood living and taking care of family. Instead, it should be an alternate source of having extra money that would support us when times are rough, or things get messy. People take advantage of the fact that they get to win more often in gambling, so they decide to take it as a full-time paying job which is a bad idea. In gambling there is nothing like allowances, monthly income, and promotion. But in our individual places we work, we get to have promotions sometimes, and there is certainly of monthly income. So why would someone choose to make something that the outcomes are not certain (base on luck) to be a major source of income.

Contrary to most opinions I've seen on the thread, I'm of the opinion that someone can actually take gambling as their primary source of income especially if they take it seriously by putting in the work and not treat it like some side hustle or secondary hustle. I know a guy that primarily earns money off his gambling endeavors and majority of his time is spent analyzing betting markets, odds, probabilities, those kind of things. It is my belief that if you take something very seriously, you can make your luck. It's a risky venture for sure but there's always going to be an element of risk in any endeavor. That's for sure but yes, gambling as a primary hustle is very much possible.

I have to agree with this. There is no guarantee that one will keep making profits when gambling and take it a means for survival. Instead, one will only be susceptible to more losses and financial struggles. That’s why having gambling as the major source of living will never be possible, except if you are a big celebrity wherein you are paid with huge amount promoting those gambling platforms.

However, gambling as a means for additional source of income might possibly work. As long as you don’t gamble more than what you can afford to lose, and you act as a responsible gambler and get satisfied even with small amount of profits, I really think that you will also earn a significant amount in the long run.

What you say is very true, it is very unlikely that by gambling we will be able to earn income to meet the needs we need and I think it is difficult to be able to win gambling regularly and most of us see those who gamble frequently, they will have financial problems and will probably There are many other bad impacts that arise from gambling.
If we can consider gambling as the main source of income, of course this is a very wrong understanding of gambling and what we can do in gambling is just a place to have fun. Of course it would be better to be able to gamble on a limited basis and to be able to get a steady income of course we have to do the work not by gambling.

Professional gamblers who gamble on daily basis a d some who sees it as a means of survival , will only see you as not been skilled enough and that's why you would see it like it's not lucrative enough gambling as a means of making money probably on daily basis. Just like you go to work every day and eventually have your pay day by weekends or months ends, so aer strategies in gambling that get such gamblers to earn daily or weekly and sometimes monthly but it's all relative and dependent on the strategy they are applying to get such.

It's very possible to make gambling a job and probably a means of livelihood, as a matter of fact, in my country, I know of a man who gambles daily as his means of livelihood and he's not poor, he's got a house  and even others that he uses for his real  estate business all of which were gotten gambling.

For those who are gambling at a professional level good on them, I have nothing but respect since it's not easy to maintain that consistency when it comes to profit. Most of us want to reach that level, but we know it's impossible because there's more to it than just betting and looking at the numbers.

Others already gave an example and i'll add another he's Tykiwanuka (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221092.0), i've linked his thread instead of his profile since you'll see more details about it over there.

Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? the answer is no unless you are the owner of that gambling site or you are super lucky to win a million dollar invest it and then you can have passive income from it. A stable source of income from gambling in my opinion is not an option and cant be done unless you are super lucky and get monthly win from it.

Tho you can get steady income as a poster and join signature campaign like I did hehehe

you won't blame them most of them have more responsibility to settle, and they think it's through gambling that can help them increases their incomes in life. The worst part is that most of this set of people do receive a good salary but they'll still want to risk it all to gambling, cause with their mindset it's already their source of income not the work they're doing. So their mentality isn't like the normal gamblers who gambles for fun not after chasing gambling as their source of income in life. So responsibility it's also the course it with my little understanding.

The undeniable fact is that it is possible however it is a very poor practice which often drives some gamblers into addiction. Every one tires as much as possible to take their source of income very seriously in order to maximize their earnings or income. Similarly, taking gambling as a source of income will compel such person to spend more time and effort into Gambling activities just to be able to make more money. Most of the time they Begin to play with greed as well as other  unhealthy practices which all contribute to gambling addiction.

Everyone usually says gambling is a fun activity and trying as much as possible to put that boundary makes it more difficult to become a gambling addict.

If you can earn consistently through gambling, you can take gambling as a source of income.

If you can't earn consistently or mostly loss through gambling, you can't take gambling as a source of income.

It would be stupid if someone can earn consistently through gambling, but still asking whether gambling can be as a source of income and listen to most people who can't earn from gambling...

I like what you just said, the man in your country which gambling turns his life around for him. That's why I usually say it's because of something that makes this set of people takes gambling as their source of living, first testimonies and the evidence of their friends making it daily from gambling. I've also seen someone who goes to a bet shop every morning dressing good as if is going to work, but by the end of the day he'll end up at the gambling shop. My opinion is that if it's favoring you then you can continue with it, but also put it in mind that it's a game of luck.

You need to run a casino in order to achieve that, be the banker rather than the gambler.
However, there are people who are smart in gambling, like they know how to use their skills and become profitable in gambling that are based on skills, like sports betting for instance.


Sometimes we are delusional, we tend to believe that gambling is what we called "easy money", despite the fact that we haven't proven anything yet. people say it's a recipe for disaster, well, I can't argue with that.

precisely! even if we say that there is no other way to find, we need to keep looking because there are many other jobs that can help us earn money, if you rely on gambling as your source of income, we are not sure if you will actually earn on it because in the first place, there is no certainty of income here, not unless you are very lucky and you win almost every day or in every gambling session you go to, and it is possible that you will not find a "source of income" in gambling, it might even be a cause of loss of income.

Let's not take gambling too seriously or as a career if we don't want to be like others who ended up losing everything they worked hard for. gamble at your own risk and gamble moderately only.

Theory of probability :)

I have mentioned such words as "not primary source of income". I think people here confuse job and source of income. I can get as many sources of incomes as possible. That does not mean I earn from them regularly/monthly. Theoretically, if I place once a year a bet with 1.01 odd and win - that is my additional source of income. I believe your would agree with that. A person might have a job, work freelance after work, post on forum and sell his signature, and gamble with faucet money. Already 4 sources of income.

If someone lives their daily life by gambling continuously and thinks that they can make gambling games a source of income for them then that is a very unreasonable thought unless that person is a professional gambling expert who can easily win bets but if the gambler Ordinarily, don't expect to get income from gambling games because there are only losses and the bigger the losses, smart people will never consider gambling as a source of income, only losers will have thoughts that don't make sense like that.

Gambling games are always related to luck and a person does not always feel lucky in his life, gambling is a game based on luck, not a job that can pay for sure unless you are a worker on a gambling site then you can earn money through your job and not as a player. as users, we should not expect the impossible from a game of luck. If we are unemployed, it is better to look for another job than gambling which results in you becoming addicted to gambling.

This will be a very wrong way of living and it can lead to many challenges in the future when you will be in need of money but you do not have. Depending on gamble as your main source of income will make you become a gambling addict very fast because you will be gambling excessively. There might be those that are leaving like this but that is not a good way to live and not one that we should be following those that are Livin this way. Your source of income should be a job, business or skills that you can depend on that if you work well you will receive reward for your work and not when you have to be lucky that day before you can get profits from gambling that the profits might not be enough to handle your bills. A gambler is suppose to have other sources of income and gambling should not be the main source of income.

Even if you and I understand that most likely we will not be able to earn money on a regular basis by playing gambling, then stupid and naive players believe that they will succeed, but the most important thing here is that the game itself will teach them, which will show them their losses if their confidence soars to the highest level. This lesson and overconfidence will cost them dearly. When I was at the beginning of my gambling journey, I also thought that I could win, but it was enough for me to lose only a few games to sink into reality and I’m glad that I understood it easily. The greatest difficulties will arise for those who are overly self-confident and who have narcissistic character traits. More modest people should not have such problems, in my opinion.

Common gamblers win but not sufficiently enough to provide the needs especially if we already have a family but owners would. In fact, many poor people gamble, use their last resort to bet but end up getting nothing but just a ticket. Therefore, no way we have to think of this as our source of income as we can't rely on our future for luck and unstable earnings. It is better to run a small business because even earning just a small amount every day, we are still sure that there is something we get at the end of the day. It is still to be noted that gambling is just for fun, not for earning purposes.

I think this is too risky, because I believe that gambling sets different winning and losing percentages for players, where the losing percentage is greater than the winning percentage. Even though there is a chance to win, there is no guarantee that you will win. Even betting a high amount does not guarantee that winning will happen, but in the end it only comes down to hope and luck. I think people who place bets with high amounts cannot always win because the aim of the gambling industry is to make a profit and if all gamblers could get easy and sure wins by betting high amounts then I think all gamblers would do it, because if High bets can produce definite wins so there is no doubt for gamblers to place bets with high amounts. Unfortunately there is no definite guarantee of this, it will only lead to losses.

With gambling being done by many people, making gambling a source of income in their lives, I think the answer is no. Firstly, the advantage that the house has is real, so the house will always win in the long term, while the player has a greater chance of losing and that applies in the long term. Even though there are people who are said to be professionals at gambling, I don't think they always win at the gambling they do. no player can beat the house, because it is an established rule that the house has a bigger winning advantage.

The majority of us will say NO but why not if we are destined to be a successful gambler? Of course, our negativity drives our minds to think negatively but it is possible in real life.

It can be one source of income but it doesn't mean we have to be fully reliant on this.
We have not to generalize that all gamblers are losers, many also have made their life better by doing this. We can say only a few of them, yet it is not really convincing but for them, they had already achieved things that can't be simply achieved by having stable jobs.

Gambling cannot be a source of income, it's as simple as that. No matter how much lucky one may get during a specific period, they will eventually start losing and when they do, they lose everything they have won earlier. A person who tries to make an income out of gambling will need to have capital that they won't use for their expenses and they will need to keep getting profits from gambling that they can use for their daily expenditures and that isn't possible.

Even if someone manages to win some money for a whole month, doesn't lose much, there will come a time when they will start losing and once they start losing their bankroll that they use to make money, they will start panicking, and out of panic, they will start losing more and eventually lose everything and then have nothing left.

Even whales cannot guarantee a consistent winning since there are instances that they encounter those long heavy losing streaks. So having those risk gambling should not be the main option for people seeking to get a source of income especially if they think they can really their daily needs on it.

But if they have influence or eager to become an influencer or ambassador then maybe he can earn something that can help him since for sure there would be a great profit to get if you reach that status.

But if you really don't have any skills or influence then I guess think about to gamble only for fun and just find other alternative ways to earn decent also legal profits. Building a business might be a good option but people need to study the market first and know the risk.

I think it is a fact that if a gambler comes with the intention of earning then they will definitely never feel enough when they win and this is what is called greed in a gambler, usually when they win they will continue to bet with larger amounts in the hope of getting bigger wins. Yes, I am sure that what you are saying is a fact about poor people, most of whom come with the intention and aim to produce results where they think that gambling can change the fate of their lives.

And I think of course it's a very natural thing if in the end what happens is just the opposite, or what that means is that they actually experience a lot of setbacks in their lives, simply put, instead of making money, what happens is they actually lose a lot of money, because as you said, they don't maybe we can make a place that has no certainties and guarantees a place to make money, plus only luck can bring someone to victory. So it's better to look for something that's certain, rather than chasing something that doesn't provide any guarantees.

The fact is that it is really difficult to give understanding and advice to people who are already disturbed in their way of thinking, or in other words, it is really difficult to direct someone in the right direction if they are already basically so obsessed with gambling, because in the end they will probably think that we are someone who is too interfering with other people's affairs and also maybe I they will defend themselves with the idea that the money they use to gamble is their own money and not using our money.

On the other hand I can't completely say they are stupid but yes that's what happens when someone can't use their common sense and rational mindset properly which will eventually lead themselves to various possible disasters that will destroy their life. I understand that it is good to care about others, especially people we know, but if they are so stubborn and do not want to listen to us then yes in the end it is best to leave it alone, because in the end as you said that the bad effects of gambling will teach them and tell them that putting excessive confidence in an activity that does not have any guarantee and certainty is a big mistake.

First of all such life is very hard and weighs heavy on your psyche.
You can do it for a while, you can keep on winning, but you will be under constant stress.

You can imagine this by looking at professional Wall Street traders. Most of them do it for a few years and quit because it's too stressful. Every day you go to work knowing that it's very easy to make a mistake there and a small mistake will cost you your job.

It's the same when you try to be a pro gambler. When you're rich it can be a way to kill time and prove yourself, but when you're poor it's constant fear.

Gambling is highly risky so it is not possible that someone will get income on a weekly or monthly basis but there is little chance to win after facing numerous losses. There are lots of people who gamble but their profit is less because win or lose is not dependent on their hard work but it is related to their fate.

There are people who are getting good salaries from their job but when their losses are exceeded in gambling then they leave their job most of the time to give full time to gambling but this idea is completely foolish. I think we should never leave our job for gambling and should not consider gambling as a source of income as there is no surety about the profit of gambling.

This is the problem of gamblers. Since they lose money in the game they started for fun, naturally their next quest is to get back what they lost and seek income. You should never try to get back what you lost in gambling, otherwise you will make worse decisions with this stress.

I have never heard anyone say that they make a living from gambling before. Even if they did, they would be lying. Gambling, which is best done for fun from time to time, turns into an extremely stressful situation.

This fact will definitely be experienced by gamblers who choose gambling as a source of income or even additional income. Usually this will be experienced from the influence of high wins that have never been achieved in previous gambling history, they will be greedy to be able to win again in the next gambling session so they don't care about high losses, they end up experiencing unexpected losses in gambling and they will say all of them have been wasted on what they expected to earn from gambling.

Every gambler never claims gambling as a source of income even though they have won big bets, be a wise and responsible gambler. You change your mindset to focus on finding other sources of income without the risk of losing anything.

It's always a bad idea to put your last money on the line. You're not going to be thinking straight when you have that much to lose and it will negatively influence your chances of winning.
Of course you can choose a very simple game like dice and go all in. This way your nerves won't interfere in the process, but you have so much free time, so this doesn't make sense. You don't work, this is supposed to be your job. How are you going to change that time into money if you stake it all and the whole thing will be over in 1 minute?
What are you going to do when you lose? Starve?

Gambling should not be a source of income because you only earn when you win, and your chances of winning are always not assured so what is now the point of seen it as a source of income instead of taking gambling as a source of income it will be better to even go get a job and gamble for fun whenever you are free but people keep seen gambling as an alternative way to make money. and gambling was suppose to be for fun bet on any of your favorite club and there is a price for getting the right prediction. and if you dont control yourself self you see some very nice offers with good odds and that is how you gradually want to play every day gambling is supposed to be a time-to-time thing not every day and some people even go to the extent of borrowing just because they want to satisfy the feeling they have to gamble and the earlier the better they start noticing that they are crossing the line the better. and anyone putting all their trust in gambling needs to rethink because it is just as if you dont win you won't that is not smart at all. to get just a job instead of burning much time gambling and even when you want to gamble there should be a limit. it is hard to see anyone who has achieved anything from gambling they always want to use the money to flex. and others will spend it wisely so this will even be on individuals because gambling is hard.

Yes ofcourse,so many persons are earning through only gambling,but it depends on how you much you use for your staking and how many odds you decide to be staking on.If you chose to be staking on just 2 odds,then you have to always raise you capital to a reasonable amount because the amount you get in return will determine how much you used in staking..When you make it a consistent something,you maintain the way you stake,and make sure you stake on odds that are likely to play,then you can just sit in your house,and be receiving free income coming from gamble,then you won't need any other stressful job,just stay in your house and place bets,to make Money.

Through gambling, it may be possible to help fulfill your needs with some of the wins you have obtained. But you have to remember that it only lasts for a while, the rest you will spend more money than you get.

Even though gambling is full of unexpected surprises, you also need to know that gambling is full of uncertainty. Because there are no guarantees and no one can guarantee that every time you gamble, you will win. So you cannot rely on gambling to fulfill your living needs.

Gambling is not a means to make money, rather it is a means to seek entertainment and pleasure. So don't ever misunderstand gambling. Because if you have the wrong perception about gambling, this will have fatal consequences for your behavior in gambling, and could lead you to a vicious circle that exists in gambling, namely gambling addiction.

I had a friend that approached me last year and requested that I teach her gambling because she wants to start earning money from gambling because she believes that gambling is a side hustle that can make her get more income from there, but I discouraged her from gambling because she was already seeing it as a source of income, and if I encourage her to continue or teach her how to do so, she might get addicted and lose all her money in the process. What I am saying in essence is that gambling is not a proper means to source income; while doing that, you can get addicted and lose all your money, including your salary. 

Do not take the winnings of other gamblers as motivation for yourself, as if you can win like them, gambling can favor people at different times, and you cannot be lucky as someone else when you think you want to win might be when you are losing. 

She would not necessarily become addicted, but the likelihood of simply losing some of her money would not be small.

Perhaps gambling can be considered a very unstable and fickle source of money. Something like a salary bonus, which may or may not happen. Also, this bonus may turn out to be negative and will reduce part of your salary. If you look soberly at gambling as a source of income.

Should the losses of other (close) people in gambling be perceived as a demotivator for gambling?

Luck is a very abstract and ephemeral thing, which is very unstable and ends up in the hands of a few. Relying only on it is very risky, especially if you observe the luck of others.

I will always say that gambling on its own is not bad but the way many people approach it, this is why people are now stereotyping it. Can you imagine yourself, for instance, you went ahead to spend all day gambling, is that good at all? Didn't you have other productive things you can do other day gambling? Just because your country had an industrial action doesn't justify you gambling all day, and by you including that industrial action means that it was never at the weekend, there are many useful things you can do with your free time.

Fine, you can gamble as well, but it should have its time and limit, it should not be extensively as that, otherwise, you will appear irresponsible. Personally, I feel guilty if a day of my life is not lived as planned, perhaps you should also have plans for the day and also query the plan before finally accepting it, it will help you so well.

At the same time, for you to discuss a thing like this shows that you are not even comfortable with it, so it is a good one, since you have a bad mind about it, you might avoid it next time. Generally, people living a life like this should stop, spending the whole day gambling or being desperate about it will take us nowhere, it is good to take gambling as a passive income in a non-desperate way but rather find a good job and other responsible daily engagements.

No you can't, people all the time have tried to do this before and look where it got them, almost all of them have been left penniless and destitute because someone in their life said that there are people that are making consistent money in gambling, what those people forget to tell about those wannabe profit gamblers is that the odds of that happening to them is so slim that they're more likely to die in an accident going to the casino rather than making it big in gambling. Don't ever, ever try to consider this even if you think that the leap of faith to try this is so profound and that it's looking like you're in a movie, don't let the reality hit you so hard when you can avoid it.

Wrong assumptions about gambling will put your friend at risk of losing everything he has accumulated so far, he will of course risk everything because he thinks gambling can be used as a side job and can make money. Never teach anyone about gambling if the goal is only to make money because gambling never promised a win.

Most people who are involved in gambling always end up suffering due to misinterpretation of gambling, the effects of losing will burn their emotions to try to withdraw all the money that has been spent, but in reality they continue to lose and can cause addiction. I will never teach anyone if the goal is to make money, this type of gambler is capable of doing anything to get money to return to the gambling place because their emotional level is difficult to control.

In my opinion, making gambling as a side job is risky, the strong attraction of gambling can make players forget their limits, especially if they are given a win which can make them even more convinced that gambling can indeed be a source of income. For example, if they really win at the beginning, it will probably make them more interested in gambling and they will continue to gamble even though the gambling they do ends in disappointment, namely losing the amount of money they bet. I agree with what you said, never teach anyone to make money by gambling, because if someone teaches you how to make money about gambling, it's the same as putting other people into misery. And don't assume you can get extra money from gambling for sure because that's the same as hoping. Do gambling appropriately, don't let gambling play against you.

with their misinterpretation it is what makes them experience suffering which can even put themselves in danger, with their misinterpretation it can indeed make their losses in gambling not be well received, they tend to get emotional when the gambling they do ends in defeat, and with The emotion that will occur is unclear thinking where they tend to take actions that are not considered first, which clearly carries a greater risk of loss, so we should be able to consider the actions we will take first so that we don't regret the results that occur.

Yes, anybody can take gambling as a source of income out of their decision and the level of risk they are willing to take, also the level of finance they are willing to throw away. Does a gambler need to be told that profit making in gambling is just a trap? A trap that makes them want to gamble all the time. Gambling profit is determined by the casino and the casino wants to always be on the winning side, so it is improper to take gambling as a source of income, I wouldn't advise anyone on that but if they want to take such a decision, let them bear the risk themselves.

you've made it clear let them bear the risk themselves, but what difference do you see in the life of people that take gambling as their source of income and those who take it like an entertainment to them. As for me it's not advisable to anyone to take gambling as their source of income in their lifes, why I say this because if you're a family man and you do have kids and your kid's are like 12 to 15 years old. And every day you end up at the gambling shop or staying at home to predict games, what do you think your kids will learn from your lifestyle? Nothing good really even if it's favoring you in other hands it's not advisable for someone to take gambling as their source of income in life.

It's true what you mentioned here, when you have an outside business or job that can give you big money and make you rich even though you are a gambler, but what makes you rich is your business, not the results of that gambling, gambling can only be used as a entertainment only, nothing less and nothing more. I'm sure there are many rich people out there who are gamblers, but they are rich not from gambling but other real things they earn.

Yeah, it is just one of the variable and invariable circumstances where every gamblers has the intensive expectations of winning and when they wins they are going to make profit out of it and that specifically has aimed gambling an income source but does not mean it is a basic source advisable for a gambler to rely on for a source of income because its resourcefulness is usually unpredictable which can harm its desperate chasers.

you think it's laziness but for them it's their hope in life, some of them have something doing but the money is only going into gambling. While some do have strong family that have money and it's not a stress for them anymore, just few days ago I saw a lady complaining so badly about her brother in school. That their parents sent him money for school fees and he ended it up by gambling so he called her sister to loan her little money to go back and continue with it, so that he can recover the money that he lost. And this money it's not a little money to be paid quickly, the sum of $3,000 USD that he used for gambling. So laziness is also among but the fact is that some of this youth's don't really know what they're doing to themselves.

First, I am interested to know the current financial situation of that your friend back in school, does he stikl gamble? What does he do for a living presently outside gambling? And how successful is he financially?

Truthfully answering this questions should give us all an idea of whether it's really good to take gambling as a means of livelihood, like a source of income and so on.

Secondly, you should really consider using a google translator if you are not too good with English, it's not a crime or against the forum rules to use translators, if anything, it's more OK since it helps make posts more readable and understandable.

Thirdly, this topic is something that have been discussed on this board previously, in fact, I was actually one of the authors of the thread on this topic.

And in general now, regardless of the fact that it's possible to make good amount of money from gambling, it's still adviced to never use or see gambling as a source of income, or consider living from gambling proceeds.
Have your business or be working, and gambling is always be secondary.

Of course I am very sure of that, or I mean I am very sure that gamblers who always try to make money in gambling end up losing a lot of money in significant amounts and maybe I would also say that it is the intention and purpose that gamblers have that will eventually enter the addiction zone. And regarding the cause, yes I quite agree with your opinion that usually it happens when they manage to get one of the unusual winnings, or winnings in a very tantalizing amount which in the end the situation makes them experience a change in their mind especially in the interest in winning which the interest is increasing, and also this is the cause why a gambler applies greed in his gambling activities, which is because they want to get a much larger amount of winnings.

On the other hand I will say that if you do not want to experience the same effects as those experienced by gambling addicts then one thing you should pay attention to is before getting involved make sure that you understand what gambling is all about, because by having the right understanding then I believe it is less likely for you to do various actions that are not reasonable or that are too risky.

These young people who gamble using their parents money should be kicked from home, so they will know if money is really important and they can learn how to waste their money. They thought that their parents always have money since anything that they ask, the parents always can fulfill it, but they didn't know if their parents taking a loan to make them able to school.

Its tempting to call these people lazy, but dont. Its not about munching chips and watching TV on the couch. Some gamble as their only hope and dream, even if its twisted. They may have jobs and families, but a big victory and overnight change are too tempting.

Not saying its right. Definitely a bad route. We must comprehend the causes. They may be desperate, hooked to the excitement, or see no other way out. The student's tuition money waste is tragic, but its a sign of a bigger issue. We must treat causes, not symptoms. Education, financial knowledge, and treatment may assist. We cant dismiss them as lazy. That wont help.

Gambling is not the main source of income, who is earning good money. He or she must have separate business or job which is the main source of money but sometimes we see the gambler coming in a car to the casino and his style says that he is rich and wealthy. We, at once, think that he is rich because of the gambling returns but in fact we do not know that he has some other main source of income and he is gambling for fun only.

People usually get deceived by the looks of the wealthy gambler and think that if he is rich because of gambling, why can't they? This makes many people put more money into gambling which they can't afford to lose and once they lose that money, their life becomes more miserable than it was before.

Lazy or not, its never been that good on making yourself into such condition on thinking that gambling is something that could could make it as a source of income then you are really that someone whose delusional.
Just let those people experience on whats the worst at the moment that they would really be making gambling as their main source of income.Sonner or later they would really be able to taste up the harshness
of reality that you could really be able to experience on how it would really be affecting someones financial condition at the moment that you would really be keeping on chasing up on winning or constant
profits on which we know that it cant really be possible through gambling. There are really ones who are really that too delusional and this is why they do really end up ona disaster.

Gambling is really just that for the sake of fun and not for making it as your day source of money for you to rely on. It is really just that for the sake of fun and it would really be just that like that.
Dont make yourself having those high hopes because gambling is a game of chance and there's no guarantee to this one. So why would really be putting up your life condition
or situation on gambling? It doesnt have sense.

It is undoubtedly true that most gamblers choose gambling as a source of income. The opposite is true for particularly wealthy gamblers who have no problem with money, who may consider gambling primarily as a pastime. But most of the poor and middle class gamblers choose gambling as one of the main sources of income. One of the main targets of all gamblers around me is to profit from gambling and make a living from that profit. This irrational attitude and activity of theirs makes them lead a very miserable life later on. In most of the gambling families this gambling alone causes chaos and family misery.
 

It is true that those who gamble with other people's money do not understand the cost of wasting money. There are many gamblers who gamble with others money or borrowed money. When they run out of money, they collect money from another source and start gambling again. Thus their gambling continued. We can temporarily get angry and say all sorts of things but in reality those words worth less. No good words we say to a person who has become addicted to gambling and unless he tries to change on his own initiative.

If any member of the family is addicted to gambling, then his father and mother must know those things and take the right decision. If they neglect to take care of their children, they will suffer in the future. Gambling is not an income stream where one can win according to his needs. By managing gambling within self-control, the gambler will keep himself safe and others will not be harmed by him.

First thing is, how often do you win from gambling, and in doing so ask yourself, after spending the whole day betting, how many of your bet actually win and how many loses recorded, when you are able to accurately see that you won more than you lost it show you have a good technical knowledge on sport analysis.

But it doesn't end there, also put into practice for a consistent time, let say gamble the whole week, repeatedly if you win consistently then you can take gambling as a flow income generation and a source, but if you can't win all the time which is the reality with gambling, then it means you are risking your financial well being by taking gambling as major source of income.

There is indeed a chance to win, but of course, even though they can win, it doesn't mean they can use gambling as a source of income with the winnings they get because based on luck alone, it's impossible for them to win completely because of the strategy they use in gambling. The winnings they have obtained can even make them addicted to gambling and experience many losses. Apart from that, for those who respond wrongly to gambling, usually the winnings they have obtained can make them more confident that they can still win again so they will gamble again. and even though the next gambling ends in defeat, they still continue to gamble because their unnatural gambling motives encourage them to continue gambling in order to win or even recover losses even though this is not recommended.
Of course, those who consider gambling as a source of income will most likely only experience losing more money, and that will make them addicted to gambling, especially if they are lucky enough to win quite often, the deeper they will get into gambling, but with The deeper they get into gambling, the greater the risk which can even make them completely destroyed financially, health and even relationships.

So many gamblers do not actually consider what they lose at the cause of gambling. Since they don't lose them at once, they don't find it easy to calculate and accumulate their loses. Rather they allow one single win to make them forget all their losses. The real thing would have been; when you win, you calculate all your loses and subtract it from your winning and determine if you are actually making progress.

It is not possible to win in a streak for a whole week. Even if you have majority winning this week, no matter how experienced you are, there's no guarantee that you will continue winning without losing.

You can’t win frequently in gambling, that is just a fact, even though you really win all the time in gambling. is either lucky or cheating, so it is a true fact that no one can constantly win in gambling, and anyone who thinks he is a frequent winner. So if he will like it to be his main source of income, then I will say he should be ready to dwell in debt and poverty. That is just the fact. If you said they should use gambling as a source of getting some income to add up in order to sustain a living with their families, I will completely support that, but gambling as the main source of income is a critical idea. 
 
For instance, if gambling is your main source of income, then what will you do when you have emergencies? Because you, as a professional and profitable gambler, will never have savings because you always use the money to play more games in order to get more money that will still be put back into the game, when you have an urgent emergency, how will you approach it?

I don't think gambling can be a source of income for anyone. You can ask anyone that is gambling how often they win, and they will explain, gambling is not something you can win at often. Even if you are a lucky person, you can't always win at gambling. The few people you see whose lives have changed due to gambling are those who were lucky enough to win a large amount of money, and that usually happens only once or twice. So, I am just wondering why someone would try to make gambling a source of income when there is no assurance of winning at any particular time.

If anyone has the mindset of making gambling a source of income, they will just suffer in life. Just look at the percentage of people losing money in gambling compared with those winning, and it will be clear to you that gambling is full of luck, and anything that relies on luck cannot be a source of income.

People take gambling as a source of income, but it doesn’t make any sense to me, so if there is a subsequent loss, then how will the person be able to survive? People like this are the ones that do end up being addicted to gambling easily, because if they lose continuously and have no money left with them, they will end up doing everything possible to get money just to keep on gambling because they need to gamble for survival. Some of them will sell things they have, hoping to buy them back after winning, but most of them will end up losing the money.
 
If you are not married yet, I don’t have any problem with anyone depending on gambling for survival, but if you are married with children, then it’s totally bad. You shouldn’t punish your family members with your stupidity. Because if you have a family, you won’t be the only one to be affected, your family members will also be affected.

There is no possible way to have gambling as a source of income no matter what.
Gambling isn't à fixed salary or something like that to be relied on for someone's spendings. Sometimes u might get lucky and win some money but most of the times you face losses a lot so I don't see how It can be a source of income.

People who rely on gambling and don't have any other source of income as a job or a business are considered lazy people in my opinion. Because if you rely on some wins from some slots to spend during the day then you don't think any further.

I personally can't do such thing, I consider gambling as an entertaining activity nothing more, sometimes u put a significant amount of money and bet it, ofcourse an amount you can afford losing but for fun nothing more. If you don't have any other income then how are you supposed to gamble anyways?

Yes, it is a fairly effective way to cause a deterrent effect on a child so that they do not dare to do bad things like that again, but on the other hand I am not sure that every parent will agree or will do the idea, because basically there are always some parents who always defend their children even though their children are wrong or do something that is not commendable.

But yes, of course for some parents who really dare to do this idea to their children when they find out that their children steal their money to gamble, then yes it is a good idea to cause a significant deterrent effect that allows a child to be discouraged.

But yes, strict action should really be taken by parents regardless of whether it is their child or someone else, none other than because the idea can educate a child so that they no longer dare to commit various worse actions.

Gamblers cannot always rely on gambling as their source of income all the time, but if you have enough budget then become a bookie (casino owner) in this industry and earn income. This is the only way for you to earn an income from gambling, meaning you must take advantage of this industry to make a profit.

You also need to know that not all bookies can always earn income from this industry. All of them carry the risk of loss (bankruptcy) regardless of how developed your casino is initially. The gambling industry is very risky, even though it promises big profits, there are times when they have to go out of business and are no longer able to pay their customers because they are unable to compete.

Your opinion about the subject matter is very similar to anyone who actually sees gambling as a recreational activity instead of a source of earning income. Gambling have never and would never be a good source of income and that's why I always laugh at those who wants to engage in gambling because they want to earn a living from the proceeds they get  from gambling.

When you engage in gambling because of the financial rewards that comes from it, you're most likely to become a gambling addict at the end of the day because you'll always make hasty decisions just to win at the end of each engagement and because your decisions are mostly affected by your quest to win, the chances of making good gambling decisions becomes slimmer thereby leading to continual loss which will leave you addicted to gambling. For anyone that's new to the forum or does want to engage in gambling, please do not do it because of you want to make it your source of income

It is a fact that is often found in almost all environments, that the majority of gamblers come from the lower middle class or more precisely the poor. It is very reasonable why they make gambling their main source of income, they have more free time and no permanent job, so they have more opportunities to invest money and time in gambling. Besides that, they also have the greatest potential to become depressed when they lose money, because their lives depend on gambling. They know that the chances of winning are very low, but still do it regularly because of poverty and addiction.

For those who gamble for fun or as a hobby, gambling is not a place to find a source of income, but rather a place to divert attention. Most of them gamble to relieve boredom due to work demands, by gambling they can get instant pleasure. Meanwhile, those who use gambling as a source of income will be completely under pressure, and have the potential to lose everything they have, including their family, if they do not immediately stop gambling.

Almost no one can set out to take gambling as their source of income, you would have to be a poker star or similar type of high level skill and even then sometimes you will be losing money the whole week maybe the whole month so its a rough trip.

The one exception I heard of is people who gamble casino bonuses or promotional offers given to new customers.  That isnt strictly a legit thing as you can only be a new player once however the person I heard of just keeps opening via new details given to him by friends and contacts and he does all his gambling with that positive bias.   Like I say its not exactly a proper job but some people try to gamble constantly with nice bonuses given to them and that alters their bias back to profitability.  Most of us are just playing games and getting lucky sometimes only.

She might not get addicted, which is true, but she might end up chasing losses and continue losing her money till she spends all her savings. Since she doesn't have the intention to go into gambling for fun, I advised her against it. 

I would not measure gambling winnings as a salary bonus that an employee may not know all the time that the company is going to add to their salary. There are some companies you will work with, and most of the time you will get inside information when a bonus is to be added to your salary. But when you are playing casino games, count certainty out because you will never be certain of what time you are going to lose or when you are going to lose. In sports betting, you can sometimes be sure that the game will be successful unless the team screws up. 

Losses of other gamblers could be perceived as a demotivation, depending on the perception of the gambler. It could be a novice that just wants to venture into gambling (for the same reason of making money) for the first time, but seeing how often some gamblers lose their money can be a demotivating factor. 

Yes, it all comes back to each person's mindset because everyone has different goals when gambling, but in fact what we see is that most gamblers today always consider it as a source of income, not something that is fun like other people, I am one of them. who consider gambling as entertainment on the weekends when I feel like my weekdays are full of stress from work, but maybe other people have a different mindset with gambling as their source of income every day and they lose a lot of money.

But people who gamble responsibly and have a mindset of just having fun, they never experience regret when they lose, let alone the pressure to recover from their losses and chase their losses, everything is impossible for them to feel and I feel that myself, there are differences depending on the mindset and method. their views on gambling. There is nothing wrong with gambling, it's just that most of us as gamblers expect too much when gambling.

No, however it makes gambling a place to produce is an idea that can never be justified, because the reason is clear that in gambling there is absolutely no way that can have 100% accuracy to produce a win, meaning this is why gambling is called an activity that does not have any certainty and guarantee. Meanwhile, on the other hand, as we know, need can never be tolerated, while gambling will not always be able to provide victory because there is no certainty or guarantee whatsoever.

So in my opinion, of course it is an unreasonable idea to do, there is no other advice other than it is better to look for a job that can really provide a definite income as is done by many people in general who get a salary at the end of every month. Never make the impossible possible, plus it is very clear that gambling has a level of risk that can sometimes be very significant.

Basically, gambling is just an activity to fill free time with the remaining money we have without having to use large amounts of money as long as it can entertain you and gambling can be said to be like a luxury game that requires you to spend a little money to access it.
Under any circumstances, gambling should only be a game that can produce more pleasure than the profit of getting money because of course the more often or the longer you bet on luck-based gambling games, the greater the losses we will incur.
Gambling should not be considered as a place to make any profits, even though sometimes you get profits from gambling for a few days, but believe me, it's just luck and after luck leaves your life, you will definitely lose more often or maybe only get small wins.

There are many negative impacts if gambling is considered as a source of income, so it is always recommended to think of gambling as a game that you can play when you have money left over and have free time to gamble, or if someone is determined to consider gambling as a source of profit, I'm sure anyone will be more addicted because he will continue to chase the losses he has obtained.

It is certain that anyone who take gambling as a source of income is addicted, there is no two ways about it because they'll keep playing to make sure they provide food on their table and it's a continuous process else they'll beg on the streets because most persons who make gambling their source of income are using from poor background and they think gambling might help lift them from poverty. It's advisable to have a source of income before gambling so that you won't get addicted by taking gambling too serious. Another mistake most gamblers make is thinking they can actually double their salary after a month of hustle and hard work, they are likely to loose everything and go home with nothing.

If you play all day because you have nothing to do in the hope of being able to expect money from winnings, of course that's a stupid idea.
No matter what someone's situation is, in gambling there is no such thing as mercy. Gambling does not look at who the players are playing and what the situation is, whether it is difficult or happy.

For me, the concept of gambling without enough money and expecting riches after gambling, that only exists in movies. The rest, nothing really lives up to expectations.
Gamble only for fun, not because of compulsion. No money, then don't gamble.

Yeah, that was exactly the advice I gave to her. Since already sees gambling as a source of income, if she goes into it, she might just be glued to it, hoping to make a huge profit one day as she keeps losing money every day until she probably lose all her savings before realizing herself. It is better to go into gambling when you have a proper knowledge about gambling. Gambling is not to be perceived in just one direction. By saying one direction, I means it should not only be seen in the aspect of making profit from it, a gambler or anyone that is thinking of becoming a gambler should also knows that they can in fact lose all their money there or luckily win a fortune which doesn't just happen easily.

Funny enough there are lots of people going through this kind of life in my neighborhood. I use to meet him in the casino every weekend, since I'm just a weekend gambler. He wakes up every morning dresses like someone who is going to work, if you don't know you won't believe that this individual doesn't have a job. He goes to gambling hall every morning and comes back same way civil servants goes to work. According to him whatever that's giving you money should be taken seriously. Several people have advised him about his gambling attitude but he seems to be okay with it. One thing I like about him is that you will never see him misbehave. Irrespective of how much you are making from gambling it's not advisable to live your life just on gambling, that's not life that's just an addiction.
Op there are many people living on gambling as there source of income.

Gambling can be a source of information,yes because so many people,who dont have work are depending on gambling to pay them for them to earn a living.It is very  common in some parts of the country,and in some countries,it is legalised and being played by most persons,therefore in places where there is no work,there is every tendency that they will engage much in gambling and make it a source of living.
For those who just gamble because they like it,they once in a while try it whether they will be lucky or not.

I can agree with you but what would you call those who take up gambling as a profession are addicted gamblers? Although the number of people who have taken up gambling as a profession is not very high. But they are not addicted gamblers. We cannot call them addicted gamblers even if they spend a long time gambling in order to get their winnings, always researching gambling. There are some signs of addicted gamblers that anyone can guess. My point in saying this is that someone who takes up gambling as a source of income does not become an addicted gambler. Those who do not take up gambling as a profession but consider it a source of income are addicts.

Not the right explanation. In my opinion, it's easier to work hard to get a consistent salary on a regular basis than to rely on gambling to make a living. People say that they can make easy money in gambling or earn a living from it, but that's easier said than done. In reality, it's almost impossible to earn a living from gambling unless you are the one operating a gambling shop or a casino where you get the house edge.

There's a lot of story that gambling changed a lot of lives due to gambling, unfortunately they ended up broke after that quick rick situation came. They've become greedy on spending and didn't value money for good, those stories I heard came to a point that it ended up their lives as criminals kept spying on them. Making this as a source of income was just a case to case basis, we can rely on this because lucky wins has only minimal percentage to become successful.

Daily gambling because a person doesn't have anything meaningful or a job is not an excuse, that's just been lazy and stupid at same time. Why not take such time in search of a job, could be physical search or online rather than increasing your suffering by depending on gambling, an activity that doesn't bring the favour to the gamblers'side but to the casino, the hedge all theirs.  Additionally, it will very difficult to make gambling a means of making money by gambling daily and not get into gambling addiction.  It's very much not possible.

The question you should ask yourself is would you take gambling as your source of income? I think you wouldn't because you wont want to keep your hopes on luck. This is because everything that has to do with gambling depends on luck which means there are sometimes our bet might go right and we would win while sometime it all go wrong and we lose. This doesnt happen when we have a skill or work, if we have a job to fo and we are paid we do the job take our money and go there is no probability of we not having the money from the job unless we decide to do the work for credit to receive payment later.

A source of income should be consistent, and should come mostly at the end of the month so that we can take care of our bills and continue with life as time goes on.

Exactly, I agree with your idea above that not having anything to do on a daily basis is not a reason to dedicate ourselves to gambling activities for the sake of trying our luck or whatever, because after all gambling can consume quite a lot of time and money while you can use that time to look for or create various opportunities to make money for sure, as you said and you suggested above by using that time to look for jobs from various sources.

This means that the reason for gambling because they don't have activities to do such as work is a ridiculous and unreasonable reason, there is nothing other than laziness that dominates them, or I can also call them losers who want money but don't want to try so they make gambling which is full of uncertainty as a place to earn income, and obviously until whenever their hopes can never be realized, because gambling is not a place to earn, but an activity that is only useful and recommended for entertainment when we occasionally have free time that is quite boring without disturbing other more important activities.

That's why I said in gambling there is no such thing as mercy. Laziness is a reflection of the character of people who spend all day gambling because the vastness of the world cannot make them think about looking for a job. Sometimes there is a feeling of difficulty in getting a job because there are not many jobs in the midst of the economic situation, it is not entirely justified because there are still other businesses that can bring in money.

Making gambling a means of earning income, 99.99% I disagree. It is clear that gambling is only to measure luck and for fun.

You definitely know that if you don't have capital in your gambling account, of course you can't play, that's the main point, gambling is money pitted against money = making money and = spending money, you definitely understand that.

My understanding is, if someone said gambling was their source of life in economic terms, I would say that was nonsense, in a game there are definitely winners and losers, that's for sure and that's the nature of gambling, For this reason, gambling is a means of multiplying money in games, not as a means of living or a means of income to meet life's needs.

Inasmuch as the earnings are not fixed and certain,I don't advice anyone to take up gambling as a source of income.Gambling is a social issue/problem that hinders growth and breeds unproductivity.
It encourages the belief that working is not important and hard work doesn't pay no matter the time and influence puts in.Gambling gives money,but its not something that you can completely rely on for survival.

Gambling is a game,an activity that should be done for fun but people's inability to control their minds towards the toxicity is what initiates the addiction;and its clearly not a favorable place for all individuals or intending gamblers.

Speaking from what I have seen, I don't know how these guys actually do it but the way they win money from gambling, I feel jealous about it, the money someone will work and make from skilled labour work of 10 years, they will make it in one days and no matter the loss they make, the win will cover everything once they win a game and it's not once ot twice, they win multiple times. However, as for myself I don't think I can do it as a source of income as I'm not too expert in gambling.

If you know you are good in gambling and makes more than you do imagine from it, I will says give it a short and. See where you will be in 1 year but if you are not skillful in gambling, please look for something else to do else you will blame yourself for wasting precious time of your life gambling and not making anything from it.

I have been living in that life style before, I took gambling as a work, as a source of living I thought I can easily get rich through bet gambling. I bet every weekend Saturday and Sunday just mainly football I was into it to an extent that I was preparing the game to play from Monday going head to head predicting games from Monday to Friday since I will placing my bet on Saturday and Sunday. Sometime I do win but most time I loss I wasn't having savings because I took gambling as a means of making money not until I realized that if I continue this way I will get my self frustrated. My advice to any one living this kind of lifestyle is to change that mindset of making gambling your source of income because you will be doing your self more harm than good you can gamble ones a while and make sure your gamble responsively also with the amount of money you can afford to loss.

Well, though the casino usually has an edge over the gamblers, I wouldn't say that they are the ones who determine the profits one can get from gambling but it depends on one's luck because the algorithm doesn't make you win or lose specific bets based on how much you have up on stake, so you might lose a bet with a $0.2 stake but manage to win the next bet if you bet $20, and the algorithm wouldn't cheat you on that unless it is a rigged casino.

That being said, you are right that it is improper for any gambler to consider gambling a source of income because it is not possible for anyone to earn a living through something where you can only get money if you are lucky and a person can't stay lucky all the time, so it is not something that a person can rely on when it comes to earning money.

Nothing forbids it, but I will ask you or anyone first whether you are ready for all the risk consequences that will definitely occur when you make gambling the only place to earn money like what gambling addicts experience? I don't think so, everyone doesn't like losing large amounts of money along with experiencing problems in their family relationships which ruin their life.

This means that because of this bad impact, gambling is always not recommended as a place to earn money, because after all I think it is clear that no matter how long a place that does not have any certainty or guarantee in terms of winning can never be used as a place to earn income. , I'm not saying that you can never win, but know that winning in gambling is nothing more than just "chance" which means there is no certainty that you will always be able to win, and also understand that in everything that doesn't have certainty it won't. can never be used as a place to produce because there is no element of consistency.

They may want to make it a source of living, but as many people have explained in this thread, it's not so easy. Normally you can expect only losing some money to gambling, not earning from it. When you have no job, you should be searching for one rather than trying to make money through gambling. There are many sources of living, but gambling is not one of them unless you are professional poker player that can outplay many thousands of other players.

Before they can make gambling as a source of living, they will bankrupt without they realizes that they makes a fatal mistake by risking their money to make money. You can lose more and more money without have a big chance to earn money from gambling and even if you deposit more money, that doesn't guarantee you to wins the gambling games with some money.

They must search for other resources of works so they can gets a new sources of living and they can earn money. That will be safe for them because they don't have to use money to earn money and they can saving their money from their works to use for other things in their life. They don't have to try what other people do from gambling because every people doesn't have the same luck and gambling can really makes them bankrupt without they knows.

        -   In the first place, it's not good that we consider gambling as one of the sources of income; you know that, right? The others are because they only say that or because they only say such things because they experience winning at gambling.

The question is, will they always experience a daily gambling win of a large amount just because of betting on a casino platform online? No one can say here on any platforms that we have heard that there is a gambler who wins gambling every day for a large amount; there is no such news that can be seen or watched in various articles similar to what I mentioned.

I try not to judge on how each one of the people on this world live their life, but I can certainly say that life style is not for me... It is literally allow luck or entropy to take the direction of one's destiny, take the control on whether one will be able to afford to eat or not, or be able to buy clothing for the next season or not.
Dices, playing cards, Plinko and even sport betting run on entropy, the disorder and unpredictability. If one lives thanks to unpredictability then our life itself will be unpredictable. I do not want that for myself and I personally pity anyone having to stick to that life style because they sadly do not know better on what to do.

Your friend definitely had good times with gambling when he was a defendant and got money from his parents, but after that stage of one's life, gambling with one's and money is a completely different thing.

It is entirely possible to make money from gambling similar to a professional income. And there really are players who are successful in the long term in gambling. However, it is worth mentioning that there are very few of them, apparently less than 1% of all players. This is such a small figure that gambling is a rather problematic form of permanent income. In order to do this, you need to have a significant competitive advantage over the bookmaker in sports betting or over players on betting exchanges. What is this advantage? I’m not writing here about risk management, it’s implied. In my opinion, the main advantage should be high-quality analytics.

In this case I would say that gambling can earn which can even be in very large amounts, but the idea of "earning" in gambling can never be justified, because after all everything that does not have any guarantee and certainty in terms of winning can never be used as a place to earn in the long run, meaning that you will only be able to earn occasionally, but sometimes the amount of victory is also very likely to be lost again especially when you cannot manage and control yourself and your mind properly.

So I can't say that gambling won't provide income because in fact there is a chance of winning for all gamblers involved to earn money, but what we must understand is that however the idea of earning can never be done in the long run, because there is no element of consistency in everything that does not have any certainty and guarantee to always be realized.

It is indeed not recommended to use gambling as the main source of income, considering that the chance of losing is greater, which means that we will only experience defeat. Even though there is a chance to win, it is very difficult, especially with big wins or wins that can be obtained consistently. I think it is almost impossible to happen if it is not for someone who has god-level luck because winning at gambling is also based on luck. Apart from that, there is no way to win with certainty.
No, it's impossible for anyone to win always. as I have said, it is very impossible to always win from gambling, even if you gamble every day, it is impossible to always produce a win every day. If gambling ensures that it can produce definite wins, then many people will be rich, because with the large number of people who Those who gamble are those who are addicted to gambling because they are chasing a win or because they want to recover their losses.

[/quote] most of this people that take gambling as their source of income knows what gambling have done the society, but if it's your choice to take gambling as the form of earning towards your life then no problem. But before you think of taking it as your means of earning then try and look at the addicted ones in your society how they ended up. For me it's not a bad idea but gambling is not a work or you didn't give casino gambling money to give back to you, even if you're using money to stake it doesn't mean that they owe you. Why because the casino gambling have already given you the elements and the rules towards it, they also let people know that it's a game of risk and luck so with this two then you should never take gambling as your source of income in life.

Yes, that's right, it's very unlikely that someone will be successful with gambling, but if they are successful, it's possible to get a very big win that can change their life circumstances drastically, but the chances are very small, as you say, only less than 1% of the number of people who gamble. Apart from that, I don't think it is advisable to make gambling the main source of income in life, because this will only drain our money. It is very unlikely that anyone will be able to get a permanent income from gambling. We all know that the house has a bigger chance than the players, because they also set up and provide gambling to be able to make a profit, so it is impossible for them to give easy wins to all the players. that is not the purpose of them providing and establishing gambling. wins that are rarely obtained are clearly tempting, especially for those who only think that they can win by gambling, but of course the wins obtained by a small number of gamblers are a home strategy whose aim is perhaps to make many people more confident in gambling at their casino because there is a win. that can be obtained, unfortunately victory is difficult to obtain.

with gambling that involves skill or competitive advantage and even knowledge, but of course it can increase the chances of winning, unfortunately I think luck still has a role where they will still play a role even with gambling that does require us to have skill, knowledge or competitive advantage. because the bookie very rarely loses, and I think the bookie will feel a loss if there are gamblers who can win consistently.

It’s very rare to see a gambler that focuses on sports betting will have a successful run in gambling especially as source of income but as you mentioned there might be some exceptional users that achieved it silently but so far there’s no reported user that has this kind of solid run to the point as source of income since casino usually restricts user when they are winning frequently which means it’s very hard to continuously milk the casino without being notice.

Poker is the only game which this is possible since it’s against other player while casino will let you play as long as you like because you are draining other players money and not the casino itself.

It is possible to profit by winning from cash but regular winning from gambling is not possible due to which it can never be a source of income. People who gamble for fun have a net profit when they suddenly hit a big jackpot. But people who gamble for income always bet big with the intention of winning and winning big because of which they quickly end up losing a lot. so gambling can never be a regular source of income. and no one will be able to manage his life through gambling

As far as I know about gambling, this activity never promises winnings, so whatever conditions one experiences in life, it is very illogical to consider gambling as a source of income. Gambling always ends in two different directions, defeat and victory. So as long as there are still losses, it will be difficult for someone to get passive income in gambling places because the resulting situation is that there is no guarantee that they can continue to win.

Gambling will only cause regret if it is done continuously and starts to become an addiction. The first party who benefits most from gambling is the casino operator or owner. Anyone who considers gambling as a source of passive income needs to re-examine gambling, today they may be able to win, but the next day there is no guarantee that they will win again.

Yes, it can bring huge amount of money, but it will not going to be everyday earning which is not advisable for people to take gambling as an investment because it can frustrate some gamblers sometimes not to give them what they wish at the moment.

There is no guarantee that you will continue to earn from your gambling, but if you can be using small money to gamble, it will not allow you to spend much on gambling and it will not allow you to be addicted to gambling like the way some people use to spend huge amount of money daily on gambling to earn profits and lose through out the day.
As long you are not using big money to gamble daily, gambling will bring profits to you, but it will not going to be as your wish because you can gamble to win big and the end you win small profits but there are some time you will gamble to win small, and the end you win big profit, which there is no perfection in gambling.

then this can be considered as an additional source of income, and this is only if you are lucky a few times. Without work, it is impossible to play every day because it requires resources.If you play every day instead of working, you can rather collect a lot of debt, which will be more likely than having your main income from games.

Some take gambling as a part of entertainment and some take gambling as a source of income, it mainly depends on the financial status of the person or the gambler. If the gambler is in a good financial situation and does not have to depend on gambling income or whose financial situation does not change after losing a gambling bet, there should be no problem if the gambler mainly accepts gambling as part of entertainment. On the other hand, gamblers whose families are financially poor depend on gambling money, and gamblers from families who rely on gambling as one of their main sources of income.

in my opinion it's not worth to have gambling as your main source of income
better to dedicate to other matters than that
but people are different from each other so some will be willing to take the risk and it probably pays off for some people.

You have to be seriously good at what you do, otherwise it is not going to be all that easy at all, we are going to end up with something that will take a while and I think that is not going to be all that easy. We should consider how that could work, we are going to make it work some way or another, and that doesn't really feel like it would be something that people may want.

I think the amount of work you have to put into it, the effort, the money, the grinding, and the end result is that you are a professional gambler who uses gambling as income, something so volatile. I think if you really want to make money some way, and willing to spend that much time and effort and money on it, there are much better things to do than gambling.

Gambling is used as a source of income by those who have not yet suffered major losses from gambling. using gambling as fun is the work of a clever person. Gambling is an addictive game of luck. So, the more time one spends on it, the more likely one is to become addicted to gambling. no one can earn a fixed amount of money at a given time from gambling in any way as from one's job or business. so no one can live a normal life with the money earned from gambling.  Both loss and win are gambling, but here the loss is more than the gain.

Nicely said mate, it's when someone has not actually experience major loss that he would actually think that gambling could actually be some sort of income because believe me it's crazy when you have put your hope on something and then that particular point of hope actually disappoints you, it's really messed up seeing that some persons actually feel they can get the better of the house because with my gambling no matter the wins you have gotten the circle always runs back to the house being the superior.

People who gamble with income have a lot of money so the thought of losing or winning is scary for them. But to keep betting on gambling for fun like this, you can become addicted to gambling one day. My close at first used to bet on gambling just for fun and he won repeatedly then little by little he always bet on gambling so now he is an addicted gambler. There are many people like your friend who pay wages during the day and gamble with that money at night because their main objective is to double their money.

The truth is when a gambler continues to win at every of his stakes he he gradually becoming addicted even when he is gambling for fun. The truth is one should not get too familiar with gamble as it came make them become addicted with time. Your friend was too comfortable gamble because he was winning and he continues to gamble even when he is losing and winning and he became addicted because he was carried away by his winnings.

This is why you should really be that careful on dealing up with gambling on which you do have that possibility on getting addicted gradually or something that you might not be able to notice not until
you would really be able to see that you are spending up too much money with your gambling activity. If you are someone whose really that having those kind of hopes about being a huge winner with gambling then it wont really be shocking that sooner or later you would really be including yourself into those people who had been that delusional towards gambling and being that addicted in the end of the day. Making it as a source of income? Dont make yourself thinking like that because it would really be just that making you desperate and this is something which is really that very bad.

Even though they have experienced high losses from gambling and they do not stop gambling, this influence is because they have won large profits from previous bets and they do not accumulate higher losses that have been lost, gambling addiction is inherent in them so they do not easily stop gambling without self-awareness to limit gambling activities, I don't fully believe that they gamble just to look for income opportunities because rich people also experience gambling addiction, even though they already have a high income from their work.

I actually don't want to share the latest news, that the wife burned her husband who was addicted to gambling because he was traumatized by the husband's attitude of using all his salary for gambling purposes rather than for the needs of his wife and baby. I am very concerned about this case and I didn't think this case was really real . So be wise with your gambling budget limits and if you have an income below the minimum, don't force yourself to gamble.

Dedicating yourself to gambling to make a living in the journey of survival is a big question mark and relying on what we know as well as luck that must be an important factor in running gambling, the ability must be more than average or even more than the system created by the casino itself so that it can get a decent profit from gambling to make a place where you can earn money, but it is almost impossible if someone can earn money consistently from gambling especially if only playing dice or slots.

Talking better about dedicating yourself like that, it's better to go into the world of clear business, because if in that business we can maintain it and also if it gets to the point where at the top of the business chain you don't have to spend more time working because you have a lot of workers in your company, I think it's better like that if the effort is the same as gambling, gambling cannot be something that can be used as a place to earn money because of its uncertain nature.

if we search on google: "how many people are living thanks to gambling". We will see that it will not look like some article talking about someone who has been living thanks to profits from gambling, this is because if a person plays games of chance that depend on luck, then that person does not have any profit, if a person plays the games of bad luck that depend on skill, so this person, despite having victories, also does not have any profit that allows him to pay bills. the month has 30 days and the bills don't stop, and when people are playing to make profits and be able to pay their bills, they play under pressure, and lose money and at the end of the month they are in losses and will have more headaches and pressure. Gambling should not be seen as a way to get money to pay bills, because that person will fail. no one can play and pay free bills and gaming profits

Being able to stop gambling even when winning is possible, but for the interest of money, most players wouldn't think of this even when they're losing. Staying attached to gambling like a full source of income would only affect the player's finance if he spends most of his time in the casino and also inexperienced about this type of gambling lifestyle. Doing this online would be more expensive than offline casino. Either ways it's not encouraging to pick gambling as an only source of income, even when it costs you less than much. It's a boring lifestyle, spending all available time in the casino. But, if a person decides to follow such routine and has his way of dealing with it, without being hurt, that wouldn't be a big issue.

If a person thinks to change his luck by gambling then it will be totally wrong. Because gambling is totally based on luck as well as gambling experience. In gambling a person can tell himself when he will win and when he will lose.  You can't. So I think it would be completely stupid to think of making money from gambling. I like gambling mainly as a means of leisure time entertainment. You have to accept both losses while playing and then you can enjoy gambling.

When I started gambling in a new state, I was very happy to win gambling for several days. Then I thought that by earning money from gambling, I will take responsibility of everyone including my family. But gradually I realized that the decision I had taken was completely wrong. Because  No one can ever earn a certain amount of money by gambling. Sometimes there is a chance of winning in gambling and sometimes there is a high chance of losing a lot of money. So I don't see any chance of winning a certain amount of money from gambling.

Well, it is not necessary that we do the hard work, if you are smart enough, you will surely be productive. Nevertheless, you are very correct, if anyone is running from hard work and resolves to take solace in gambling as a source of income, then the person is not wise. Fine, gambling may be the source of earning too, but this should be a passive means of earning, not otherwise. And the fact that it is risky should talk volume of senses into the person. Gambling can make you lose so much more than the money, so if anyone thinks that they are running from hard work, they should never knock on the door of risky avenues like gambling and trading as a sole means of income, otherwise, they will be disappointed and make him life miserable.

I enjoy gambling when I have other income sources, and even when I lose money, I do not feel it. That is the mindset at which people should gamble, they should gamble as though they are not desperate for the money, however, if the money comes they will be happy. Above all, they should learn from others who had the believe in making gambling their source of income and judge for themselves if that is still what they want for their lives.

When you can wins for some time, your minds will thinks to keeps trying to playing gambling to wins more money. But that will not always happens because you can lose streak after your previous winning and makes all of your wins money is gone. That's happens to many gamblers and they don't realizes that when they decides to keeps playing gambling, they will lose more money and will becomes deeper in gambling. They don't even realizes that they already gets addicted to gambling because they wants to recover their lose.

If you can realizes the mistake you made, you will trying to fix the mistake and don't wants to repeat the same thing. You will trying to reduce your gambling activity, especially the money that you use to playing gambling. You already feels the pain of losing the money so you will not wants to gets the same thing. You realizes that gambling is not a source of income for you and only for have fun.

In fact, it is everyone's right to make gambling their main source of income, but that is an action that seems wrong because gambling will not be able to provide definite profits, whereas we need profits to survive. In fact, everyone definitely wants more than what they already get. . Apart from that, the chance of winning at gambling is smaller than the chance of losing, not to mention that winning at gambling is on the side of luck. If you are lucky, you can win, but if you are not, you will never be able to win.

Compared to gamblers who gamble as entertainment, it could be said to be a small number, because there are many people who gamble as something they think can make money for sure, even though in reality winning will not be easy to get, even though they do it often or even use strategies they believe in. You won't be able to win for sure, so winning is quite strange. If you make gambling a source of income in life, it will most likely only make things more difficult.

This lifestyle has no future for most players because there will be more losers than winners. Of course there will be those who are lucky enough to win the jackpot and their lives will be forever changed if they do not start playing again and end up making a deposit at the casino. And those who lost will look for new ways to play, although they need to look for something else. Namely, what will force them to stop playing for a very long time. If the player does not find such reasons, he will simply waste his life day after day, year after year. He will not be able to start a family, raise children or experience other joys of life, of which there are very, very many, he just needs to look around. I think everyone will find a reason to finish the game and start doing what they really want and enjoy it. Many players do not know how to appreciate the fact that they were lucky to be born in such a time of comfort and freedom of choice and liberalism. I want to say that you should not take the game as a constant source of income, this is a mistake imposed by others.

You are absolutely right, because taking gambling as a source of income is like commiting suicide because it will bring more harm than good to their lives, gambling will make most people to be losing more money than saving more. If anyhow actually take gambling as a job, I don't think the person is actually planning good for his family or for themselves and I think we should consider gambling as fun or entertainment and not as a job.

I will agree with that.
We don't know what is next, it's all up to the gambling site's system if they will give the max multiplier to you. That's with casino and slot games.
When it comes to sports betting though, it's different. I have seen great prediction makers who could do it consecutively but that is because they know the game, love it, and are always updated with the statistics and records of each team or player. That is something that cannot be learned in a day or two and they are not dependent on luck. They are trying to increase their chance to win through analysis although it's still not 100 percent accurate.

I think it's that winning streak that gives people the confidence to think gambling can help them as a source of income. Just imagine a situation where you win gambling for 7 days and you never expected it, that thought will comes to your mind immediately but the days you will experienced loss steaks, you wouldn't even try it again, it's a financial suicide to ever think of using gambling as a source of income because it doesn't pay for long term.

However, the fact that it doesn't work for me doesn't mean I will discredit gambling isn't working for other people, we have some people that makes a living from gambling but they are just a drop in the ocean who makes that kind of living, the rest are just like us who make few profits from gambling and enjoy the fun that comes with while the rest just gamble and make losses to favour the gambling platforms.

The truth is gambling is not a reliable source for income generation, as anyone who wants to take such step is Suicidal Mission of which there is very little chance of survival. The fact that gambling gives a kind of room were people win, does not make it a medium for total dependence on it because winning is not guaranteed as it happens by chance.

Yes, the point is because there is no certainty and any guarantee in gambling so that these activities can only be used as entertainment activities without putting hopes and goals in the long run, because we will never know about when we will be able to win, while on the other hand the possibility of risk is always lurking for us which can make us lose money. And also logically if for example gambling can indeed be made as a place to produce in the long run then surely there will be many previous gamblers who have now become rich people, but the fact is that this does not happen and in fact the opposite happens, in the sense that instead of producing but what happens instead is losing significant amounts of money. In the end in some cases often those who carry the intention to earn instead experience addiction and experience various adverse effects of addiction.

Using a small budget in gambling yes it is an approach that is always recommended to minimize the possibility of losing, but I think so far we can never make the amount of the budget as a benchmark or guarantee to always produce a win, or the point is that risking a small amount is only useful to minimize the possibility of losing a significant amount that is not desired but not something that can ensure that you will always be able to win with that small amount, Because in gambling for the problem of victory no one will know, meaning that it depends on how lucky you are at the time of running the session, and also even though the amount you bet is small but still gambling every day is always not recommended, meaning that besides you put a limit on the amount of budget but you also have to limit the time of your involvement.

Not only “not a reliable of source income” but rather it’s literally not a source of income because it’s a business that design to provide entertainment with it’s customers and not a financial wealth because they are business that gets profit through customers money so there’s no way they will allow players that continuously draining their bankroll.

This is the reason why there’s a lot of issue about account restrictions whenever a player is winning frequently or showing a successful gambling records. Casino ToS tell’s everything it since they have the right to restrict any player with their own discretion.

You know that there are people who earn regular income from gambling. Most of you who comment here have such a mental block in your head that you can't make yourselves clear.

Another thing that I'm sure you haven't heard about is that what you call "luck" only exists in the short term, not in the long term. That is why those of us who earn money with gambling can do it and that is also why casinos earn so much money.


As far as I know, this generally only happens in sports betting. Another thing is that if you deposit your money and they lose it, the casino does not investigate you but if you win a large sum of money and you want to withdraw it, they do, to avoid fraud (and leaving aside casinos that scam).

This is a wrong expectation to say that gambling is an income generation source. It is just a fun game where you may win money but it is not guaranteed. A Source of income is something which you are sure to get and also there is no chance of loss. In gambling, you will face a lot of losses and hence you cannot be solely dependent on gambling to make money.

Gambling can be as enjoyable and exciting as it can be but it should be approached with the mindset that any money spend is the cost of entertainment. It is something similar to buying a movie ticket or attending a sporting event but the difference is that here one can also make some money. Yes, the money spent on gambling will be gone, if you lose the game but there is the hope of winning in gambling and this makes it a unique type of entertainment value.

Yes ofcourse, even I have heard about such cases where gamblers have been limited to betting after they won a certain amount of money.
Gambling platforms have designed their sites in such a way that they are always in profits.
It's only the end users that have to lose money. Only a few lucky people make money in gambling but that's just pure luck.

The host will use various methods to limit the winnings or profits that the gambler will get, even though the rules seem unreasonable to the gambler, but what can you do, the host has the right to determine the rules on the gambling platform and we as gamblers must be able to accept and be willing don't want to have to agree with the rules that have been issued. It is absolutely true that basically losing money in a casino is experienced by more gamblers than those who manage to win or get lucky there.

Gambling aint a job. Its a game. Simple as that. You want to earn money? You work hard, you invest smart. You dont play roulette all day. Thats for suckers. Gambling isnt bad. Fun things might happen. It excited me. You must use caution, though. Its entertainment, not a career. That money you're betting? Thats your fun money. Its not for groceries or paying the rent.

You see, with gambling, the house always wins. That is the manipulation. But hey, if you wanna play, thats your choice. Just be smart about it. Dont get addicted. Dont bet the farm. Have a good time, but know when to walk away. Remember, the true winners work hard and invest wisely.

So that means you were jealous of your friend when you were studying because he often won gambling and even sent him money, and you were not like him. Is that what you mean? You know there are gamblers who are really lucky at gambling, and there are also those who are mostly unlucky at gambling.

I also have a friend who often wins gambling; he often tells me that he won gambling and maybe 3-4 times he won gambling, and the biggest he won was around 1230$ and the lowest winning was 180$, but I never envied him, even though I admitted that he was lucky in gambling compared to me.

Trying to make gambling a source of income is terrible because one will be expecting win from every game and one would like to play to recover every game of lose and you know gambling is always not certain,  expecting a lot from it and not having it can lead to serious depression.  Gambling is a game that needs not to be taken serious for money because money in gambling comes a surprise , but I become so worried about people after making attempts of making money from gambling even with the results they get from gambling in a longtime they still continue to see gambling as a way of making money.

The uncertainties of winning after playing several times is supposed to make some gamblers change their mindset on making money from gambling.

Gambling does not guarantee that we will get wealthy, but I believe that many people become wealthy through gambling because they are lucky enough to win each time they gamble. Although we believe that gambling is only for those who are jobless and have enough free time. I believe that we all have different talents, some people are born with luck, and they haven't lost half of their money in gambling. So gambling is pure luck, I have seen someone establish a business with the money he won from gambling and the business continues to run successfully. However, gambling is meant for fun, we should always expect to lose and win, but those who are blessed can become wealthy with it.

No, gambling casinos should not bend the rules as per their likeliness. That is morally wrong and if any site is doing that then should make announcements about it on their handles professionally.
We should raise scam accusations against the site so that other people can be aware of such acts and they don't lose their money this way.

Gambling is not a stable source of income. Gambling is simply a game, or akin to tossing a coin; you either win or lose. So taking it as a means of generating money is a really bad idea since instead of you getting money, you will be a source of profit for gambling agents, so it is preferable to look for alternative ways to make money than gambling. If gambling is for pleasure, it's fine, but it's not likely to end well, as we've seen with other gambling activities. You will only depress yourself.

When it comes to making money, individuals want to learn everything they can about it, and various people react differently to gambling. And they will continue to bet since there is a chance of winning. To see whether they can make money out of it. And they can just accept that gambling is not a way for them to make money. Instead they should consider other means.

you can have a major loss and stay in the game if you do proper risk management
the thing is most people don't do it
isn't it crazy that some of the simple things in life are so hard to do?

it is.

Financially successful gamblers have different spending habits. Some gamblers, yes, were able to set up nice businesses with their gambling wins. But, a huge number of players who think gambling as a source of income is the best, end up wasting their funds. If a gambler utilizes his wins properly, he wouldn't be tagged under players who focus on gambling as a means of making money. Such people rarely produce successful gamblers, monetarily. Although, even if the player is not jobless he'd still wager each day, to stay consistent on his goals. I don't feel it's completely right to tag such gamblers as jobless.

Yes, it should be like that, the host should not cheat by changing the rules suddenly, but for gamblers who do not really understand this kind of experience, they will probably be confused and try to find a way to solve it slowly or ask for help from professional gamblers on how to take the next steps.
Yes, I agree with you, the casino should not take action to change the rules suddenly, if there really has to be a change, immediately announce it on the gambling platform so that gamblers do not feel cheated and comfortable playing gambling.

I also think successful gamblers are good at managing their own money. Some gambles use their winnings to start businesses and settle their lives while others waste their money in a wrong way. It is really important to remember that gambling should not be our main source to making money.People who always rely on gambling mostly they have money problems.But gamblers who are responsible and careful with their winnings so we should not assume them as irresponsible gambers because they already know how they should use money in right way. It is good to consistent and work towards our goals even if gambling is just something you enjoy or do it as side business or for mind relaxing. Let's not make assumptions and instead teach people how to manage their money and gamble responsibly.

Yep, that's true, winnings in gambling are not certain so there will be no winnings that can be obtained with certainty or consistently, as you said with gambling which is not a stable source of income, if gambling is used as the main source of income it will not work. because it is true that winning which is difficult to obtain will be the problem, now if gambling can produce profits for sure I think many people will have experienced wealth, but in fact there are fewer people who can make profits compared to people who experience a lot of problems, especially financially. Making gambling the main source of income will only make us depressed, especially with the aim of making profits which indirectly, of course, we don't want the money we bet to be lost, but it is a definite certainty that losing money is certain.

It is true that they bet continuously even though they have lost because they are blinded by the chance of winning, so they will continue to gamble to win, no matter how much they lose. The funny thing is that when they get a victory, even though it is not equivalent to the loss, they are proud of it by telling other people. I experienced this where my friend managed to get a victory and was proud to tell all his friends, but when I said "your victory is not comparable to your defeat or the losses that have occurred, after all the winnings obtained will not be equivalent to the amount of losses that have occurred," he just remained silent but still defended himself.

I think the only people who think that gambling is a source of income are people who are unemployed, poor and have no other source of income, or maybe lazy people who just want
an easy way like playing gambling in crypto casinos.

But you will be surprised because even though they don't have a job, they manage to have money to bet on gambling, but when looking for a legitimate job,
they can't find a way to find or apply for a job.

There understandings towards gambling is so narrow then mostly they think about its so easy to earn on gambling even if they didn't have any experience to play on those casino. Sometimes they easily got carried away with fictitious and over exaggerated stories that's the reason why they easily believe that they can really easily earn a fortune from gambling.

Sometimes I'm not surprised that those people could able to get some money to fund their gambling since maybe they do extracurricular things to gather some funds to gamble since what they really believe that its easy to multiply it from casino they are playing. But if they could just able to realize that if they just used their money for investment or savings maybe they can get more better returns. Rather than trying to risk it on unsure situation. Maybe if they are interested to gamble they should comeback when they have passive income then can able to gamble only what they can afford to lose without getting unrealistic expectations every time they play.

Any gambling or bookmaking site contains a warning that, when betting, players should not rely on the idea that the game will solve all their financial problems. However, seeing people who understand this warning differently, you can’t help but wonder whether people know how to read and generally think logically. Everyone who has been a winner in the past has consistently experienced financial losses. And as history shows, there are much more losses. Therefore, thoughts about making money may arise in people who are not entirely adequate and cannot correctly perceive reality.

It is so sad that some gamblers won't understand this warnings . I think their is this wrong mindset some gamblers usually have about gambling, they belive they can always hit the luck in gambling that is why they do not mind of gambling so much with money. But those with good sense of understanding will never gamble just trying to get a steady income. Gamblers are aware of the warning in casino site which is to play responsibly but their wrong mentality have made them not to believe that gambling is very unpredictable.

It is possible to play gambling 10 times in a role and lose all and it is still possible to play gambling 10 times to win only few games but it is not possible to play 10 times to win all the games. This is to say it is easy to lose in gambling than winning, that's why gambling should not be considered as a means of having steady income.

Exactly, meaning that most likely those gamblers who end up experiencing financial problems in their lives as a result of gambling are those gamblers who misunderstand what and how gambling actually is, I believe that most likely they come without the correct overall understanding of how gambling is. As we know that something that always stands out in gambling is "winning" and of course the more people who discuss the idea then indirectly the people who come are very likely without the right understanding, or the point is that most likely they only know that gambling can give them a lot of money, and when in the first session of the experiment they managed to win the victory then of course that's where the increase in trust, confidence and hope will occur. In fact, it is not uncommon for gamblers who come because they hear or see the big wins achieved by others, especially one of their friends, they only see from one side but do not see and consider the other side, namely the negative side of the activity, and this is also the reason why there are some gamblers who are not responsible for all their decisions.

I thought we all agreed that gambling isn't a place to make money, why depend on it as a source of income. Have you ever wake up and asked your self if you should quit gambling after having losses back to back consecutively because you were not winning? Such thoughts alone kills the idea of trying to use gambling as a source of income because there is no way it can be sustainable in the long run, there is no way you can use money that is uncertain as a source of income.

However, if you are good in making money from gambling, it's actually good to use as a side husle, you cab face whatever you are doing outside gambling and do gambling at your leisure time. Any time you win something significant, you can use the money to support your life and pay some bills. What I do mostly with gambling money, I make sure I used the money at once for something beneficial, like use it to buy more equipment to support my job.

Yes, that's what all gamblers should do, don't consider gambling as their main source of income but make it a side source of income, everyone needs to work to support their family as well as their living needs, this must be done by everyone, even if they don't work, at least build a business or business to be able to make real money without having to prioritize money from gambling, it is impossible to make gambling a source of permanent income, let alone the main income because there is always a risk when gambling.

The dealer will always win against us, that's why we can't make gambling our main source of income, even if we gamble we need money, therefore we need to earn money by working or building a business, I also often get money from gambling to pay my wife's shopping bills or just gave him a surprise gift, so I don't really expect it to be my main source of income, just working and getting a salary is more than enough, gambling should be something fun if you get money there just enjoy it and if you lose go and go pursue other hobbies, actually it's easy to do. no matter how clever a person is at gambling to make money, they will definitely lose too.

I can tell you now that some people spend all day at home doing nothing but gambling,making predictions,doing research about teams,looking for game they will play without it cutting.They rest on only making predictions or trying to make odds that won't cut.This is to tell you that most people use gambling as their source of income,and it is producing great result for them.If you haven't seen,I have seen people who dont do any other job,than to sit at home and gamble,and the gamble is paying them.They are satisfied with the money it's giving them,so they dont plan on quiting anytime soon.
We only say people don't depend on it for survival because we've not seen,but I can say it is a means of survival because I have seen people surviving through it.

Not every reader comprehend what he's read. Most players don't care about what is written. They are moved by the winnings they see and hear from other gamblers. Such impulses isn't one to joke with or ignore. As it shows up real quick and destroys the gambler's existing finance. Holding on to the captions or notice placed on casinos as a strong tool that'll caution people away from addiction, isn't enough. You can easily think of millions of gamblers who don't notice all the levels of addiction other gamblers pass through alone or with company. It doesn't occur to them in any means, that their interest on finance would continuously drag them to compulsive gambling.

I absolutely agree with you. Most of the poor gamblers spending their last money are not educated enough in finance, so even if they read this warning, they just ignored it. The only thing I can not understand is why after another loss such people do not stop. Are they so strongly motivated by their past winnings that they are ready to spend their last money on gambling from day to day?

This topic is pleasurable for me to post on because I have alot of ideas about it,I have alot of experience,so I want to inform the people in the forum why its bad to rely on gambling as a source of income.Gamblers knows that the game is risky,and it isn't one they are supposed to depend on,and therefore,every gambler have their tales to tell about gambling,some of those tales are ugly,while some are good to hear,but they are all memories that won't go off someone's head so easily.You can only have what to say about gambling when you've been a victim of loss,that's why I want everybody to have an experience of it,so they can know whether it's good to make it a source of income or not.

Why would anyone want to have this type of stress? Don't get me wrong most business owners do have stress, you are not guaranteed to make money and you could definitely end up bankrupting because we have seen many, but that doesn't mean that we are going to be throwing money away.

Professional gambler firstly means that it can't be a game that has house edge, you can't be playing against casino, if you do that then how are you planning on making a living off something that is designed to make you lose and mathematically gives you zero chance on the long term? Secondly, even if you do pvp games, then why would you want to do that when you have a chance to not throw money away and just build something for the future of your life?

Your initiative was right. Envious people will never be able to match that gambler. Winning and losing in gambling depends entirely on luck. One can be taken as an inspiration. One's gambling style may be good but it does not mean that I will win gambling as much as the lucky gambler wins.

Gambling should never be a source of financial income. There is no certainty in this precarious work. Those who choose Gambling for financial gain will rather lose in gambling. I have a gambling friend who used to win gambling often. Although I was impressed by his gambling, I did not expect to win gambling like him.

Yes, I don't have doubts about what you said. There are people who are not doing anything reasonable every day; all they are doing is gambling and spending time with friends chitchating. Some of them with such behavior still make a profit and look responsible, but some of them don't. I have said something before about one man who gambles all the time but still takes very good care of his family and provides for the needs of his wife and children. Despite seeing such, I would not still advise anybody to take gambling as a career because it is not worth it, bro. It's not everyone that can do well in gambling. Some people can even get addicted to the process.

Sometimes I feel surprised and don't quite understand someone whose daily life is spent gambling. Wondering, do they not have work or other activities, apart from gambling? But what I don't quite understand is, how can they continue to finance their gambling activities and their needs, if all that person does is gamble. Where can they get the money for these two things? Is it possible that they can conquer gambling and get lots of wins..? Because what I know is that in gambling, it will cost more money than it will get. And I personally only gamble once a week and have a job and a micro-small business, sometimes it is quite difficult to meet my daily needs, and sometimes in order to prioritize fulfilling a need, I have to forget about the desire to gamble.

Well spoken mate, I agree that someone can be addicted without even gambling irresponsibly. Through out my experience with gambling I've observe that there are some person who gamble to survive, and yet they aren't gambling irresponsibly, they might not be lucky all the time but they sure do well with the little profit they get. Though it's not advisable but some of these persons have no other choice, than to stick to gambling, and one fact about such person is their background they are usually from poor homes. Gambling is risky and taking it as your source of income would only help destroy your mental health for free.

I have been gambling for a very long time but I have not noticed this statement before. Maybe it could be oversight but indeed it is a wonderful statement from casinos that thought it wise to warn their customers. I have always advocated for taking gambling as a source of passive income and gambling with spared funds. Unfortunately, not many people are doing this, the reason we see all sort of stories about gambling addiction. The temptation to take gambling as a shortcut to affluence is very high but it is not usually what it seems.

Oh the truth is these types of events are both strong and disastrous and very sad, I think that nobody should do something like that, burn another human being, really things with Gambling should be controlled, and not only with gambling but with money, sometimes money changes people and Changes them for the worse, normally in most people it changes them for the Worse , and that is something that should not be, money should not change anyone and if it does Change let it be for the better, I am a person who will always see money as a super help that does give happiness but that despite everything you have to be cautious and much more in Casinos.

Taking gambling as a source of income will never let any person to lead a healthy life and relationship. Gambling always depends on luck and here the probability of losing money is more than winning. Sometimes people win in gambling because of good luck and forget that later they can lose and later when they lose there is no other option but to post, I am talking about those publics who have made gambling as their source of income.
So I would like to say that if one wants to live a quality life then they should find a sustainable way to earn income that does not depend on their luck all the time.

There is no way to consistently make gambling into a constant profit stream that could possibly replace jobs inan economic setting similar to yours. Even if you guys keep winning all the time,unless you have a strategy or an exploit that you do to win at the expense of the casino, then you know for sure that the money isn’t going to remain pouring in.

What you guys need to do in such economic situations instead is to learn how to invest and save the value of your money, not attempt to make more using the shadiest methods. Trust me when I say that however much you win at the casino, the casino takes from you twofold, in one way or another it makes sure it gets to win over you, not breakeven, straight up win. If you’re willing to gamble away your life with a player that never plays fair, then go for it.

Gambling is basically something that risks making us lose money, because this is a business developed by someone who has a lot of money whose goal is to make a profit. However, with the large number of people who gamble, they are misunderstood because they think that gambling can make money for sure, so there are people who depend completely on gambling, even though it will only make them anxious and anxious when gambling, which they will not be able to accept. the money they bet is lost in gambling, and of course this triggers them to become addicted and ultimately become an addiction that is difficult to cure, as in many cases that have happened.

to make gambling the main source of income, in my opinion, it will not be completely successful, because remembering that gambling is a business so winnings cannot be obtained consistently, besides that, many people work hard to make money and there are those who experienced failure, but if gambling could be a source of income for sure then I think there would be many people who would choose gambling and could become rich by gambling, unfortunately what often happens is the opposite where many people experience big losses and other bad impacts because of chasing losses.

We can't poll all fortune hunters, but based on the responses I've seen on the forum, it seems like some justify their passion for gaming by calling it a source of income, citing lack of offline work as the reason. On the other hand, where do they constantly get money to play if they are unemployed? I feel sorry for their surroundings because I am more than sure that these people are tired of the debts that such “workers” open up for them, not to mention the responsibilities of husbands, children, and fathers that are probably also not fulfilled.

don't you think these would end up like these warns on cigarrete packs? I mean, yes you can tell people that the thing will kill you and give you cancer but sometimes your urges are stronger than you and you simply can't resist anyways...
crazy but true

Yes, that means that's what will happen when someone feels addicted to something, as we know how difficult it is to cure someone from gambling addiction, it doesn't matter even if for example you say, advise and suggest everything that seems reasonable to hear, it's still the same. In the end, their brain and mind will reject the idea and say that the advice you gave is not true.

Yes, it's crazy, but it's a reality, that's why addiction is always referred to as a very bad situation or phase, not only because it's difficult to cure but also in terms of its impact, it's very bad, which can destroy all aspects of life. a person's life, therefore, from the start, as much as possible, we must be able to manage and control gambling activities according to our abilities, simply, never try anything that leads to excessive actions.

They say someone who learns from their experiences is wise, but someone who learns from the experiences of others is wiser, so a person doesn't always need to experience something to understand whether it's good or bad if they have examples available in front of them that show whether what they are going to do is good or bad.

When it comes to gambling and the good and bad outcomes, it's pretty evident that most people have negative experiences in it because gambling is not a way to earn money and those who try to achieve that from gambling will have to face negative consequences, and when we can see this everywhere, we don't need to try and experience the same thing for ourselves.

When it comes to gambling we don't need a lot of proof and no experience. Because almost everyone knows about gambling. More or less everyone can appreciate the gambling experience. If a gambler is not too greedy in gambling then he will not suffer much by gambling but there are many gamblers who know about the negative aspects of gambling but they do not take it negatively rather they try to find out its positive aspects. Regardless of people's perception of the negative aspects of gambling, if they do not see it as a source of income, gambling will not have any negative effects.

Its not new, and never will it be new, but then, gambling should not be compared to smoking, both are very different if we are to be sincere with ourselves.
And a good example is that, smoking is general bad for the health even though it's quite understandable that in some countries where cold is very constant and natural, smoking cigarettes helps to warm up the body within, to get the system activated for the activities of that day.

But gambling on the other hand is not generally harmful, it only becomes harmful to those who fail to do it responsibly, like, respect gambling rules, avoid chasing losses which often times lead to gambling addiction and so on.

Gamblers who gamble responsibly tend to minimize the impact of their gambling. Even if they lose thousands of dollars in a month gambling, but they will not be affected greatly. Having limits on gambling is of course required, this is intended so that every gambler does not experience fatal losses in the long term which will likely be difficult to recover from. So, gambling as a source of income is done by some gamblers, but in my opinion it is completely unjustified and they have to change their mindset to be more realistic.

We need to understand the condition in place before we can assumed to take gambling as a source of income with the following reason which i think has to be fulfilled by us.

1. Do we have another alternative means of income aside gambling or not.
2. Are we a random gambler who does that for fun only or depends on it for sustenance.
3. Are we working for a gambling organization to earn from then through the services we rendered or not.
4. Are we the casino owner or developer who sees gambling as a means of making business or we are only gambling and struggling to earn and gamble.

Sometimes the difficulty of employment makes people think of alternative ways to make money. If there is no capital to do business at the moment, then with little money there is nothing you can do. So people think about putting money on gambling platforms. Is that something good? Of course not. Can he make a lot of money by gambling? Also not. Of course, if someone has other activities, slowly he can forget about gambling. We don't really know what's going on in someone's mind.

A soucr of income invalid but an additional source of husle or income is valid, if you see it as a husle then that's when these your points comes in and most importantly, how good are you with gambling. If you your win rate in gambling, even as a husle will be difficult for you to do because you will spend money from your other source of income as initial bankroll all the time without making anything in the end and you will suffer even more financially than where you were before starting gambling.

I don't think I can because I don't even gamble all the time and when I do, I don't win all the games, will I want to make myself with such kind of risk. If care is not taken, one would have wasted all his years of his life without having anything next to your name.  Don't forget that gambling needs your time too, if you are always occupied outdoor you wouldn't even enjoy gambling like that, it's better you do it for what others are doing, the days you win be happy and the days you don't, lock up.

I’d be immensely impressed if someone was to be able to gamble full time and cover all of their needs and then some. Either they are very lucky or have some kind of round about strategy that allows them to figure out their best odds. Would have to tip my hat to them.

 The two major things that plays a role concerning someone's success in gambling are luck and good strategy, however the fact that one is very lucky and have fewer loses or the person's good strategy works well for them doesn't mean they should  see gambling as a source of income, the main purpose of gambling was for a means of fun and entertainment even though people profit from entertaining themselves, it should be like a side hustle you make from having fun and not like a major source of income. For instance you decided to gamble because you were free from work, it shows you got something doing and  not fully depending on the profits you make from gambling and that's how it should be. The reason for my statement is because not everyone would be very lucky like your friend and the more people keep participating in gambling it would divert their attention from other important things, like you said your friend keeps skipping classes cause of gambling which would definitely affect his grades if he wasn't a very brilliant person, and I believe that alone shows he's an addicted person, which is the effect of gambling very often.

It is not really that crazy when you begin to think about it, humans evolved in an environment in which the short term was way more important than the long term, so it did not mattered if something they did could affect them decades down the line, when they did not knew if they could survive this week, and that same programming is in all of us, so even when you tell a person that cigarettes can and most likely will give them cancer, people do not care as long as they can get what they want by smoking.

Simply because everyone who reads such warnings is sure that this will not happen to them, people think that all “dire warnings” are invented for fools who have no boundaries and measures, but as soon as something happens to them, an insight occurs. No wonder, they say: “fools learn from their mistakes, and smart people learn from the mistakes of others.”
As for casino warnings, if we could find the “soul” there, as an establishment that cares about customers, then it is right to say that a person has been warned; he takes all other actions at his peril and risk. There is a post on the forum where a player would like to sue the casino for losing money. But was he tied to a chair and held a gun to his temple at a time when he didn’t want to stop?

It is not strange that many people do gambling with the aim of making money, because indeed the victory in gambling can make many people lulled into forgetting about the greater risks that will occur when they have the thought that they can make money from gambling, because with such thoughts they will only forget about reasonable limits and even they can do gambling beyond their limits such as by betting all the money they have because the desire to get the victory that drives them is so strong.

Indeed, there will be no one who can make money by gambling especially consistently, even if they apply an accurate strategy it does not guarantee to make money, moreover gambling in my opinion the victory is based on luck, so luck will determine the end of the gambling done, if you are lucky by playing basically you can win without using any strategy. It is very unlikely that anyone can make money consistently with gambling let alone make gambling the main source of income is bad.

I don't even know if there is anyone who can make a daily profit from gambling; is there anyone who can do that in our time, like a daily wage rate like an employee?
Maybe other gamblers really think it's possible, but in reality, it's not.

Because for me, that is very difficult to be true, because winning in casinos, I can say, is really just luck; there is no other reason based on my experience.

Addiction is just the cause of them not putting those things into consideration anymore. Lack of self control or greed can make someone feel that the write ups are just for written sake without considering the consequences. I don't know why someone will believe that he can use gambling to take care of his needs and that of his family, sounds unreal to me.

Those that have tried to depend on gambling for a living, became frustrated and understood that it is impossible for that to happen after they have faced great loss. Some of them quitted gambling because they have dreams to achieve, while some was able to discipline themselves and continued gambling. Those that are still blind believing that they will still make it through gambling are living their lives with no direction.

Gambling is for fun, and get yourself a means of income to take care of your responsibilities before you gamble.

My plans for next year is to credit my sportybet account with a millions,and start betting on just two odds.So many people are making a life out of gambling,it depends on how you start it,and what you want from it.Gambling is something that is so hard to predict,but when you critically go into it,you will enjoy the winnings, especially when you stake on few games with a reasonable sum of money,it will turn you into a billionaire in less that no time.
For those who don't like staking big on games,they won't enjoy big winnings too, because how big you stake,will determine how much you will win.

you've explained it all OP, well in gambling people that profits more are those set of people that increases their amount of money they stake. Because the higher the amount the higher your return will be huge, and when you see people becoming millionaires through gambling they don't bet with a little amount. Most people think that once they take gambling as their source of income they'll definitely become rich some day, and it's not done that way everything have a price before you become someone in life. You crediting your sportbet wallets it's not a bad idea but some people don't have the money to do that, but they'll still go ahead and take gambling as their source of earning meanwhile they don't know the strategy of how to become a millionaire through gambling.

We admit that we don't know when we will gets our luck because luck can't be predicted easily. Luck will comes to anyone without we knows so we can't expects luck will be on our side every time we playing gambling. If someone playing gambling only for have fun and knows that he must controls himself while playing gambling, he will not have any problem because he knows when he must stops and how long he can playing gambling.

People can't use gambling as a source of income because that can makes them lose much money and that will makes them bankrupt without takes too long. People can only use gambling as one of the entertainment and have fun by playing some gambling games and stops in the right time so he doesn't have to lose much money. What they must be worried is when they lose control over themselves and if that happens, they will lose all of their money without have a big chance to recovers their money back or gets their money.

Therefore, it seems to me that it is best to place small bets, but a lot.
After all, a gambler who makes a lot of bets either in betting or gambling, for example in a casino, will definitely see the winnings. And at the same time he will feel joy. And if a gambler puts big bets on rare events, then of course there will be a chance to win a very large sum, but according to probability theory this will most likely not happen. So why get frustrated over and over again if gambler don't have to do that?
The emotion factor plays a crucial role in the correct perception of betting and gambling.

Yes, gambling is a resourceful source of income for the gamblers who specifically stipulates on gambling for profits with the ideal of gambling wisely so that it doesn't repeal their financial perspectives of Utilizations.
So they could just gambling affordably and utilizes every percentage of their winnings.

I considered gambling as a source of passive income only at the beginning of my journey in the world of gambling and I believe that this is one of the main mistakes of novice gamblers, because the more you play gambling the more you realize how wrong this statement. Playing gambling you risk money, in addition, the chances of winning are lower than the chances of losing - this is the system of gambling. What kind of passive income source is it if you do not invest money and get interest, but gamble on it?  In my opinion, warning about the risks of gambling is a very good practice for customers of casinos and bookmakers.

With the way things are now in the world, gambling should be something everyone should be allowed to do,whether big or small,anyone who wants to be a gambler should just start it because if you look at the way the goverment of different nations are handling their citizens,it's not funny at all.Gambling can have a way of making people eat without stress,it can go a long way of getting the people who aren't fortunate enough to get a job on their own have something that's giving them money,as long as they give an accurate prediction of the games to be played.

We cannot make gambling a source of income or a place to make a profit. Apart from gambling, there is a fairly high risk of losing money, but there is also no guarantee that every time we gamble, we will win. And this is regardless of how smart and skilled we are at gambling.

Gambling is full of uncertainty and unreliability, meanwhile needs must be met every day. And if we rely on gambling to fulfill our needs, then believe me your needs cannot be met at all. It is true that in some cases, gambling can be a savior from an urgent need, but it should be noted that those who get this luck are only a small portion of those who suffer from gambling.

Therefore, the thinking needs to be changed a little, "gamble after your needs are met, not gamble to be able to meet your needs."

How many people can you say consider gambling as part of entertainment? Most gamblers consider gambling as one of the main means of making money. People who belong to educated and elite families who have no problem with money may mainly use gambling as a means of entertainment and pastime but most of the gamblers take gambling as one of the main sources of income and become addicted to gambling. Most of the gamblers in our country take gambling as one of the main sources of income. Moreover, most of the gamblers abuse their families by bankrupting them with gambling losses.

Somehow, it's not applicable to everybody. While I agree that gambling is good for those who have been actually into it and making money out of it. But then, on the other side of the story, it's not just good as with these people because they just can't rely on it as their source of income.

And for that, they only gamble to have fun and they know what might come to them when they gamble. So, it's best for them to do it when they've got spare money to gamble for it.

It's true that it's uncertain to make money out of it even the long time gamblers will say the same thing that it won't always be profitable. However, their experience is much different from the most.

Hmmm. Probably yes, but it will take a significant amount of money before he/she can do it.
Aside from money, of course luck is also needed. Another one is discipline, self-control, patience, very good decision-making skills, etc.

While you can make huge amounts of money through gambling, you can get huge losses as well - so huge that it might change your life negatively. I don't know anybody who's living their life through gambling, but I know there are some who are doing it. Gambling can be a source of income, but you need a huge amount before doing it. For me, I don't see it as a source of income, but only a source of entertainment. :) That would be a better approach with gambling because even if you lose, it's ok as long as you enjoyed playing.

Can anybody share some popular gamblers who are living out their life through gambling? I mean gambling as their main source of income. :)

The truth is that lucky gamblers can benefit from gambling when they're lucky to win and as the luck of winning in gambling is implied, no winning time is assured that's to say it's not worth it to say it's a source of income and insisting that you must making living out of it will only make you loose the little you've budgeted for it.

Can you tell me a source of money for people who are unemployed and decide to gamble, thereby replacing their monthly income? I think there's a cycle going on here. Someone wins and thereby decides that he has earned money, but if he does not spend this money again on the game but buys the necessary goods for himself, where will he find the resources for the new game again? And again, what guarantee does he have that he will win again? I think you are completely mistaken when you say that everyone needs to play. After all, people are very different, and someone just starts gambling with everything they have, getting addicted, and there’s simply no point in talking about any kind of successful life. Gambling is entertainment; with money that you can lose, there should be no talk of any work.

But being lucky is not consistent so its hard to rely on something that we are not really sure. Since most likely those people who tend to believe that there's gonna be a big changes in their life will happen especially if they became so luck and win a lot of money might became broke because its rare phenomenon that they could able to win more bigger amount by spending less for it.

So instead of betting their future on gambling just take all easy then bet in moderation since luck will just come if the faith let us win. But if not still fine if people who are in total control will just be happy since they will look at the bright side even if they lose and just say its fine we can shake those losses off since we are still satisfied then also happy with the result.

Basically, gambling should be considered as entertainment only, but in reality, more people are gambling with the wrong opinion, where they think that gambling is something that can enable them to get money quickly and easily. This is of course not true, because in my opinion it will only make them addicted. They think of it like that, they will only experience anxiety when the money they bet on is lost and that will make them want to continue gambling because they want to win or want to win. only recover losses that have already occurred. After that, the bad impact of addiction will be there and of course it will put them in trouble which can ruin their life.

With what you explained, of course gambling which is used as the main source of income will only bring problems, and can fatally destroy family relationships that were previously good and fall apart. You won't be able to make gambling your main source of income, it won't work because you won't be able to win easily, especially if it's consistently very unlikely. By making gambling a source of income, it will make us continue gambling even though the fact that we always lose won't make us realize it and stop, there is an urge to continue gambling and it is strong enough to allow us to lose a lot of money instead of making a lot of money.

In fact, I think this would be the bold idea of ​​a genius or just crazy people because from a genius's point of view, they will have enough ability to figure out which options are advantageous for them, some TV shows about gambling also show the captivating abilities and acting of professional gamblers, therefore, they see gambling as income, which is not beyond their abilities and bravery. Only for those who are normal and think of themselves as geniuses, the income from gambling is completely alarming for their abilities, so understand that professionalism is only for the few, not for everyone.

Nicely put, mate! Indeed, it's what people should avoid is risking their money to make money. You can make money through various ways, but risking your money to make money, which is basically gambling, shouldn't be one of them. I mean, you can gamble all you want for your entertainment, but don't expect making money through it.


To tell the truth, you have a chance, everyone has, but it's not big. I'd say it's 55% that you will lose your money and 45% that you win a bit. And the chance of winning a lot is always less than 1%.

I want to laugh when I see more people believing in television shows so fanatically, you need to look at the truth usually most television shows already have a scenario behind the scenes, you have to understand that.

It's not a matter of genius or bravado how to see them make a profit, if you watch the person properly without you seeing on any screen maybe you will understand how the professional works about gambling, maybe it's just a marketing technique to attract more market interest.
Just look at yourself when you gamble for money so far, do you get a lot of wins or defeats that are even more dominant, and maybe you need to conclude it yourself to see the truth, make [gambling as a place to spend money not looking for money.

Because gambling is not meant for such a thing " source of income" for usual gamber but was just a good earning opportunity for the owners. We as gamblers, never assume that we can make money from here but rather just have time to enjoy. If we are responsible person, we know already that this is not a place to grow our money as we can't rely on our future through luck, it is impossible. Gambling is made just for fun and those who seek to multiply their money will only lose it all.

Well, gamblers are not losers as we still gain experience but we can't deny that we lose more than winning that is why we can't think everything went so well when we are in aim of growing our money.

how did you know that a Jobless person can gamble all day with a little money?

maybe they at one time become lucky to win and continue gambling because as I know that there are some people i know who has no job who got to gamble but that is in very little chance if they are playing overtime.
Trust me mate , this is the most stupid way of making a living if you rely life in gambling because that is not going to help you at any way.

They can risks their money to playing gambling but only with the money they can afford to lose so they will not gets lose too big money. If they can't do that, they will not takes too long to see all of their is gone  and they will difficult to recovers their lose.

They will regrets seeing their lose but that doesn't makes them really stops their gambling activity because they wants to try again in the next days. But if they realizes that they doing wrong by risking too big money in gambling, they will not do that again and will always trying to limits their money when playing gambling. That will makes them becomes wise using gambling as a way of have fun.

We have the same chance to wins in gambling but we don't knows when our luck will comes and helps us to wins. When we wants to playing gambling, our chance will be 50% of wins and 50% of lose. But when we start to playing gambling, our chance to wins will be down and more down, especially when we lose for some rounds.

We must realizes that the chance to wins will be lower soon after we gets the next losses. We must stops ourselves if we don't want to gets more losses because that can happens anytime. If we care with ourselves and our money, we must stops immediately.

But playing gambling doesn't always live up to expectations, the longer you play gambling, the more ambition comes. because measuring the time must be obtained properly and the results are appropriate. for gamblers who have a wise nature, they will not follow big passions with the goal of winning big, but only entertainment that doesn't have high hopes or fills free time.

Gambling does not guarantee that we will become rich, it depends on how we play, and gambling also does not always win, sometimes we also lose, most of the time there are losses rather than profits, but people are lost in their passion to continue playing without thinking about how they have lost.

They all have their own way, wise people play casually when they lose, then they will stop for a moment and then the next day start again, not just keep playing without thinking about the losses, in the end they are highly stressed due to the losses they receive.

Winning in gambling is a kind of joy because one never wants to lose his money but when he wins he gets a return many times the amount of his bet.  Then both the joy of winning and the joy of profiting money give a gambler much more pleasure.  But the more time one spends here, the more one becomes addicted to it.  And when someone is addicted to gambling, there is no such thing as pleasure in him, his only aim is to win a lot of money.  And he started thinking of gambling as his source of income.  Gambling can never be a source of income for anyone.  Because this is a game and it depends on luck so here no one can win as he wants.

Players need to think about this more often, and not just about how they will become rich thanks to the game. Without this beautiful dream, no one would sit down to play gambling games; of course, everyone wants to be rich and lucky, so that life will sparkle with new colors. But many players forget that we need to be able to appreciate the simple things in life that are given to us here and now, it may be a lack of money, but we may have good health, for example. Well, or the presence of children for whom we will not be able to buy golden spoons in their childhood, but they do not need them, because the main thing is a full-fledged family with mom and dad and their love that they give. I want to say that you don’t always have to blindly chase after money, especially in gambling, in which we have a high chance of losing, and no one wants to think about what we will do if this happens, and it’s very strange to me why.

        -   Others say that if you want to throw away or waste money, you should go to a casino or put money in because, usually, the majority of players here are losers and only a few can be said to actually win a large amount. Actually, everyone who gambles in casinos online or even in land-based casinos experiences winning. That's why they still lose in the end, and the amount they win is not that big.

But with the small winnings they experience in gambling, this becomes the way for them to stay longer in the casino as long as they have something to match in gambling.

I agree to that statement, wise gamblers or we can call them experienced gamblers use their ability to pause or stop for a while when suffering with defeats, instead of pushing for more they will just end the session and take a breathing to think and analyze what they're doing wrong, they will comeback with a fresh mindsets of continuing their goals, some manage to earn but some might not, though the chance of cashing out some earnings is on how you play with your luck and how good you are in quitting when that luck hits you.

That's right, it is in the balance between the correct perception of reality and the ability to set life goals that a happy life is located. Gamblers often forget that dreams should not be allowed to overshadow the life that they have now. However, we often hear stories about players who looked only into the future, and at the same time completely ignored their lives, which are going on now, and in the end everything collapsed for them. Such dependent guys even managed to destroy the past, I mean the trust of their loved ones, which they had accumulated over the years.

So from this we have to understand with common sense, which is more important first so that management is not damaged, upholding the more important priority is better so that it does not collapse due to things that are not desired. We have to be able to control something, our pleasure has to be able to share whether it is family or parents. It's important to have wise rules if possible so can control gambling

And wise people also won't gamble again the next day when they lose today, usually they have a long time span before gambling again, maybe only when they are off from work that drains their energy.

Gambling can not be expected as a place to earn money, gambling should be considered as a place of entertainment and therefore should not have expectations of victory or big profits, defeat is more in it when we examine it properly, there are no people who are rich from gambling so far, wise people and understand how this world works will not depend on gambling to fulfill their family life, if there are still people who do that I think they need to read more about what gambling really is.

Everyone feels happy when they win in the game of gambling but sometimes the joy of winning in gambling is not the same. Sometimes the joy that is not found in winning is the joy of losing in gambling. But yes it is true that everyone wins in gambling.  Wants because winning the gambling game gives you double the money for which everyone tries hard to win and gambles with a lot of intelligence. I think that the joy of gambling can be found only when the gambler is properly understood and what are the rules of gambling.

The daydream of amassing so much wealth in gambling has done more harm than good to people, I would also call that greed and the mindset of something for almost nothing. Actually, gambling addiction is a mindset thing, you continue deceiving yourself that a large win is on the way why you know very well that its possibility is fairly thin.

Addicts entrusted with funds are in most challenging situations as they are tempted to go beyond their own funds and use funds not theirs to satisfy their gambling urge. some people have gone to jail for this singular reason, while some have brought big shame to their family. gambling in moderation shoulld be taken seriously to curb all these bullshits.

I see your point, there are experienced gamblers who have that kind of limitation inside them, they are not aiming to return after suffering from a defeat instead, they will find time to chill and rest their minds free from anything related to their gambling activities, this kind of practices gives them that good insight to what they need to do to improve their chance once they decided to play back, though in gambling there's no assurance that you may win after but the chance of losing a lot, that's already a good way and practice in avoiding getting addicted and might give you a chance to win some from this industy.

This is true, this is a very flexible and healthy way to avoid becoming an addict. Those who are able to control their desires have the main focus of working properly and not destroying the atmosphere of their plans. and of course really have broad insight, such as looking at the behavior of gamblers or gamblers which causes them to have playing limits, and being a wise gambler in managing

Gambling has very good and bad parts, it is we who need to plan aright to derive the benefit of the good part and avoid the issues of the bad part. But I warn everyone, no matter what you are doing in gambling, try to know yourself in relation to casinos first, especially your limits in everything. Now, in finances, we should work so much on that so that there will not be an interruption to the point of people saying we are irresponsible in gambling, everything has to be moderated no matter what. And talking about the use of a small amount of money to bet, well, this is a very good idea if the gambler can stick to it. I do not know why a reasonable person would be gambling more than 10% of his earnings monthly, or the worst 15% of it monthly.

Anyone doing otherwise is only inviting issues for himself. Gambling should never be taken as a main means of earning or be handled to the point that anyone will get desperate about it as if it is the means by which they will be rich in life. The moment gamblers start thinking this way and working towards it is the moment they will start failing woefully in it to the point that they will not only be frustrated but also get devastated.

This is anybody's choice though but it will be shameful not to heed this simple advice and I wonder why people let gambling control them so much.

Yes and it is those experienced gamblers who are able to make all their experiences the basis for every decision, in the sense that their experience tells them about what to do and what not to do in certain situations, such as when in a losing streak situation, they know that if they continue gambling based on emotions due to the inability to accept the fact of losing then in the end the situation will get worse.

It's actually not easy to completely refrain from these situations to ignore various actions that tend to be aggressive, but yes with the experience and knowledge they have, they can finally control and restrain themselves, and maybe I would say that it is a typical gambler who from the beginning came up with always prioritizing caution because they understand and realize that gambling can be very high risk if done in the wrong way or that tends to be excessive.

It's possible if they become the owner of the casino, but if they only act as players of course they can't make gambling the main source of income in their life, because if they use gambling as a source of income it will only make them lose a lot of money, besides that there is nothing There is a definite guarantee of winnings that can be obtained even though some gamblers gamble using strategy, but that does not guarantee the winnings that can be obtained.

It would be better to look for something else to use as a clearer source of income, working is something that must be done to be able to earn income. Don't think that winning at gambling can be used as your main income, remember that winning at gambling cannot be obtained with certainty because there is a host who always wins at every gambling, and the person who wins is just an attraction for more people so that carry out gambling in the casino and the aim is to take advantage of the large number of people who gamble.

I once recommended a gambling addict to build his own casino instead of having to spend all his time and money just gambling and hoping to win every day. If you calculate it, of course a lot of money is spent gambling unconsciously, it could be possible to build a small casino so that it can be developed. , it is true that being a bookie can be used as a steady source of income as long as the casino is still operating, this casino business is very promising, that's why we find many new casinos arriving every day.

But for some strange reason, there are people who are really quite rich who suddenly go bankrupt because of gambling, even though if they wanted to, they could build a small casino which might be profitable for them instead of gambling which only wastes all their money, gambling will not be able to be used as a source of income, that's why why do people have to work to be able to finance their gambling instead of spending time and money gambling but not producing anything and just wasting it in the end they will go bankrupt too, no gambler can beat the bookie every time, believe me it's impossible

There is no such thing as destruction if the wise nature is still possessed by someone who does not easily give up on trivial matters, meaning that there is still something more important in his life. A broad-minded person is definitely more focused on positive activity goals, while gambling he definitely rarely plays and rarely withdraws money even if he wins. They can let the money sit on the site and have fun at a specified time

Its highly inadvisable to lean on and rely on something you cant be sure of, such is the nature and volatility to gambling winnings.  It makes far more sense to take earnings from gambling which are hopefully regular if you are good at it and put that into some holding with security outside of gambling, ideally some tool that enables additional income elsewhere.  The first reaction might be to double up on your winnings and luck but its a bad idea in terms of safety to do so.

I think even if you are good at it, you'll still have some backup funds or source to support yourself and family. But if you can't rely on it solely and you treat it as your major source, you're doing it the wrong way. All you have to do is to keep doing what's giving you more stable income than gambling. If a gambler can see his way on it and believes in his luck, we can't do anything about it until he starts to experience all of ugly side of gambling being treated as a major source.

Talking about practicing to increase your chances of winning, I would say that when people get it into their heads that they should play more to practice because that way they will improve their gaming skills, then these people are looking at games as a way to make money and This is the worst move that these people will be making in my opinion, because whenever they lose they will continue playing with the argument that they still need to practice more to be able to win, and they will not stop until they lose all their money at the casino, this is also a way for people to become addicted to gambling, unfortunately. But people won't realize this until it's too late to start taking treatments


Unfortunately, there is no way for a person to make a profit in gambling, even if that person is someone who spends many years studying mathematics and probabilities, and plays many games, that person will still be losing a lot in gambling compared to the number of times he won. Even when a person is lucky enough to win a lot of money, if he continues playing he will still lose everything, you can test this yourself, start by looking at the statistics of your account in all the casinos which games you will see that you are playing to lose and not to win, that's why people are advised to look at gambling as fun

If someone takes gambling as a source of income without regular income or monetary income from any other source, he is guaranteed to live a very easy life. There is no guarantee that regular income will come from gambling, rather it is more likely that gambling will result in losses rather than profits most of the time. So of course, if a gambler plans to make a career in gambling, there is no doubt that the gambler will personally make a wrong decision. So I don't think gambling as a source of income is anything but foolish for now. If a gambler has more than one source of income then gambling can be considered as part of the source of income in addition to multiple sources of income. However, gambling should not be considered as one of the main sources of income.

This not only happen to gamblers, but everyone who has a knack for greed and gaining huge amount of money without a more reasonable plan to get it. They always ended up with little or no solution to their wish. Gambling as a means of livelihood or source of income would cause excessive stress to the player. Which could make him forget his initial plans on ways to leave the game if it doesn't work out their way.

Then, the player would be pinned down to the game, such that he may lose out all his belongings and time to the game. There are instances of people who were able to succeed in this form of gambling. That is with a functional gambling technique, a gambler could be able to form gambling to work as his source of income. By investing money for it and as well using the offline casino with comps.

There is no guarantee someone can use gambling as a source of income because that will not easy for them. Gambling known as a way to have fun and not as a source of income. If they still insist using gambling for that reason, they must prepare if they see the big lose.

It is better they search for the other way to earn income. They will have a big chance to have a source of income if they can gets work. If they can works smart and work hard, their income will be bigger.

They can only use gambling for have fun instead using gambling for the source of income. By doing that, they will not spends too much money unless they wants to wins the games. They must realizes that gambling is not the right way to earn money instead just use the money to gets fun.

I'd be specific on this, let's exclude the owners and workers of the casinos.  ;D
But going on with actual gambling, I won't say there is no way. We all can see the ways of it but it's just hard to be stable from doing it.

That's true that in the long run, the casino will just take those profits back.

That's right, there is no guarantee of winning by gambling, so there is no definite profit that can be obtained, especially considering that winning at gambling is very difficult to obtain because gambling is also a business where there are gambling owners whose goal is to make a profit from the many players. who gamble, so not all players can win, even players who win cannot win often, they only win occasionally. so in my opinion gambling cannot be used as a main source of income. It's true what you said, if you still persist then you have to be prepared for the risk of losses that will definitely occur which could even ruin their lives.

If you really want to earn income then you should look for something else to use as your main source of income that has clearer benefits, such as by looking for a real job that clearly requires effort and sweat. Basically, gambling is only a means of having fun. It is not recommended to make gambling your main source of income in life because it will only drain your finances and cause serious problems and endanger yourself.

Better to treat it as part of your entertainment as if you focus with earnings you might turn addicted and risk your finances, though there are people who use this venue as source of income, aside from those influencers there are also gamblers who manage to learn the proper ways of controlling their emotions and have that good capabilities in managing their funds, experienced gamblers who can handle the pressures and always in-line with how they set up their strategy and limitations.

One thing gambling and pressure is that sometimes you just lose it and go off to your comfort zone and before you know it you starts doing things that you have actually tried to stop just because you can't let go of maybe few loses that you enquired when playing and that's why having the thought of losing as a possibility is really helpful because you are never certain that you would always get profits when playing.

Yes, of course, because having a wise nature along with having and maintaining the ability to think based on a rational point of view is one of the keys to avoiding the bad effects of gambling, and that is what professional gamblers do, it doesn't mean they have managed to achieve many victories, but what is certain is that they already have a lot of flying experience so they already know the various actions that must be taken every time they are in a certain situation.

Of course, as you said, they will prioritize other activities that are much more important in their lives than focusing on gambling. Simply put and the point is that they are gamblers who most likely came just to look for entertainment without putting any hope or seriousness towards winning, and that is what is always recommended.

Addiction and financial devastation can result from gambling. If you play wisely and plan well, it can teach you a lot about human psychology and decision-making. Consider that if you set a tiny budget and regard gambling as a pleasant experiment, you can explore numerous tactics without getting into difficulty

This controlled gambling can mirror investment. You experience winning and losing on a smaller scale. So you're not blindsided by volatility when you invest real money. You've been emotionally tested, so you're better prepared. Most people know nothing about personal money. They make bad decisions because they don't grasp risk, reward, and probability. Gambling as a low-stakes instructional tool helps explain these notions and improve financial literacy

Gambling is fine for entertainment. But there are some people who have lost huge amounts of money to gambling. When one becomes addicted to gambling, gambling starts wasting money. I think when a person gambles excessively, he  Gradually one becomes addicted to gambling. We have to be careful all the time so that we don't waste extra money on gambling.

Therefore, gambling is not a place to make money but at least, you should also be able to distinguish gamblers or bettors with gambling owners or developers. Because of course, it is something different,so when you ask to the owner or developer, then they will say the casino or gambling platform that they build or manage, of course, provides a source of  income for them. But for gamblers or bettors, then gambling is just a place for fun or otherpurposes but the point is, gambling is not veryappropriate if it is used as a source of income. Because if they become gambling as a source of income, then ofcourse they will get and or experience many problems in their lives and it's not just about financial.  Because if they have been ruined in gambling,  then their lives will also be ruined completely.

Achieving gambling as a source of income is not impossible. It could be done, but the risk is high and would most likely affect the player emotionally and financially. Even with a detailed method of going through this, the player will still lose a lot. Doing this in an offline casino will make a player feel isolated and may not enjoy a full lifestyle with friends and family because he'd be busy gambling for almost 12 hours a day.

His free time would be to sleep or rest. Consistently gambling consumes lots of brain power. The only available time for the player would be for resting. As he'd want to stay ahead of the game, making out plans and strategies each day,  understanding the house edge and how much he is expected of him to invest in the journey. It's quite a tiring source of income.

regarding knowledge of the world of gambling activities, will have a strong character if you understand what is happening and not make it a priority. People who have this personality rarely have people with the awareness of taking small things for granted, and why wise people who gamble think so positively. choosing something that makes them among the visible parts of an addict's life a strong foundation is the key. so that the same thing doesn't happen

Yes, like the experienced gamblers who already know about the good and bad of gambling so they do it according to their abilities, or that means not exceeding their limits along with applying a lot of caution that leads to precautions.

And of course they know that gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized in life, because from a rational point of view it does not make sense or is too risky to make activities that do not have any certainty and guarantee to be made a priority to do, they already know that in the end their fate will be the same as addicted gamblers who experience many bad effects.

I think if everyone is able to use their common sense and rational point of view from the beginning before getting too involved in gambling then I think it is less likely for them to end up with an addiction.

A wise people who gamble can thinks that gambling is just for fun. They will not trying to use gambling as a source of income because they knows that will not works for them instead they will lose much money. We can see many people trying to use gambling as their source of income but most of them lose their money. From what people gets in gambling, we should not doing the same things as them because we knows that gambling can not be a work or a source of income. We can treat gambling as a fun things so we understand that we should playing gambling by moderately and will not spends too much money. That will be better for us because we can enjoy playing gambling as the entertainment and we don't thinks gambling as a source of income because we don't wants to lose much money.

Then why the gambler need to gamble on offline casino? I don't understand how you can think like that when we're in online forum and promoting online casino. Fortunately there's auto bet when you gamble in online casino, you only need to set up the amount you bet and how many roll you want, so you can enjoy your life and gambling at the same time.

At least if he can able to earn from gambling by spending 12 hours a day, it's better than underpaid job and you need to work for 14 hours a day.

I will talk about my thoughts and experience about this matter, maybe it will help us understand more about the gambling industry. Well, first of all there are many types of gambling, that’s why we can’t answer directly to your question. Gambling in a casino, means you are playing against the casino, this industry of casinos, mainly dedicated to gather money and make profits from gamblers, most of the time and about 95% of gamblers would eventually lose, so my answer for this first type is no, we can’t make an income for lifetime.

Second category, is when gambling against other players, let’s take poker for example, this game is known all over the world, if you do a small research about the best players and how much did they earn, you will find out easily that this category is a way for people to make an income, however, it is a very risky and hard way to do it since it requires a lot of experience and skills.

In conclusion, gambling is a very large field and you cannot just expect that all the rules apply for it. People are smart to make everything from anything, that’s why there are many tricks in gambling, starting from cards counting to arbitrage.

If you have ever done online gambling, you might have noticed that when you are new to the game and at a small level, you are winning every game, and as you start playing the game, you start using more money. As you level up a bit, you start losing games, this is because at first they are playing you so you get used to it and start betting more, when you lose your big money, to get it back, you use more money and unfortunately, you lose that too, thus a person gradually grows into gambling and becomes addicted to it.

Gambling is just an addiction, in the beginning, you play only for fun and enjoyment, later you become in habit of it and after a long time, you have done so much damage that even if you want to quit, you can't quit. In the hope that I will play and cover all my losses, you keep going.

I once had a friend who gambled very diligently and spent more than 12 hours of his time gambling, but he never got any wins, only losses and lost a lot of money there every day. In less than 12 hours, his money was gone, that's why it was so difficult to making gambling a source of income for living needs because gambling was created just for fun and only as a game for rich people who want to have fun with their money, but there are many poor people who hope for more than just having fun.

Actually, this is about the mindset of why we have to think and hope that gambling can be used as a source of income for people even though it is clearly impossible, even though we have a lot of experience in gambling, it doesn't mean that gambling can be used as a source of permanent income, even gambling experts still take the time to working in the real world to be able to finance his gambling and ensure that the gambling he plays is only a side money, nothing more than the main source of earning money, which in the end, most gamblers now become addicted to gambling and lose a lot of money and even waste their time.

Having that inside you can prevent you to keep pushing for more,  I mean if you understand both the risk and potentials, the chance of losing more than you can afford can be avoided, if you already have that acceptance inside you it's not hard to stop and quit, though it's always easy to say it but very difficult to execute when you are in the situation, especially if your adrenaline is pushing you to keep trying if you till got some money to top up.

True, one of the keys to being able to stop at the right time is to have the ability to accept the risks experienced such as losing, and this ability will only be possessed if someone has the right understanding of how gambling really is, as you said by understanding that there is a chance of winning but also realizing the risk of losing, and this understanding can support someone in terms of applying responsibility in every decision they make.

This means that I agree with you that having a proper understanding of how gambling actually works can help one avoid the possibility of losing significant amounts of money, and yes of course saying will always be easier than practicing, but it doesn't hurt to have that plan early on because I'm sure over time if a gambler really cares about their own safety they will continue to train themselves to be responsible gamblers.

You might be able to make gambling your source of income to support your life but not as a player because as a player you will be more likely to spend more money than what you will receive, if you are good enough in terms of affiliates or as a gambling streamer or even if you have investors you can become a casino owner because in my opinion these three fields will give you much more money and certainty than as a player.
As a player, you can still earn but the amount will not be certain and it will also be difficult to regularly profit, even as what I mentioned earlier you may end up spending more than what you earn.
As a player, it would be more advisable just for fun although losing money is still not fun, but making gambling as a source of income will be much more unpleasant because it is difficult to realize so it can be stressful for you.

You cannot really no matter if you are super skillful and play only skill games like poker and sport betting.The reason is simple and it is that although the major determining factor is skill the rest is luck which can also play an important role and can be devastating if it happen to have a black one.Therefore making a consistent income out of gambling is not possible over the long run unless you want to try suffering and desperation as it is there where it leads if you try to make a living through it.

There are rare cases when someone wins a huge jackpot in slot machines and his life changes yet there are over 99.99% others who has gone bankrupt because of such thing.

But most of the beginner gambling there are intentions with entertainment but crossing a healthy limit that makes it uncontrollable or beginners who feel heavy with the loss of money become ambitions to play gambling. At first they did not see with the environment of the gambling world around them what the effects of this effect would occur. If a beginner has a basis with introspection seeing the effect of gambling addicts it might not cross the normal limit

First, sports betting isn't really a skilled base game, but more of a knowledge based game, and this is because, to be successful in sports betting, you have to apply what you know about the game to you betting, so, it's your knowledge in sports that helps make you a winner in sports betting.
Skill is only required to play and win matches in the field, like those who play football and other varieties of sports matches, for the gambler, he need knowledge in sports, not skill.

Secondly, it is actually possible for one to live off the money they make from gambling, it should interest you to know that one doesn't have to win a lumbsome of money in one go to successfully making a living out of their gambling proceeds, one can live off gambling proceed by just winning little little amount of money like a few hundred of dollars for like 3 to 4 times in a week, someone who is really lucky in gambling can win even more often though not regular.

But then, living off gambling is not advised, since it's not a job or anything that can really be dependent on.

I used offline casino as a realistic instance because one can't achieve gambling as a source of income through online casino, despite using the auto mode, that's not fun and is not what players want. This thread is about focusing on gambling and making profits through it and nothing else. Gambling and working on other projects doesn't deeply define taking gambling as a source of income, it still falls on the side hustle category.

I understand we promote online casino, but won't stand or say things that doesn't sound achievable for its sake. Offline casinos make this possible because of the comps; free hotel room, food, drinks etc. These provisions makes the gambling journey easier for the player and he would focus on gaining the results he went into gambling as a source of income for.

This will always the case if a player gambles with the money they can’t afford to lose since they will keep thinking about the that their lose until they will just keep chasing loss since they can’t let go what was loss.

The secret for a successful gambling career is to never think about your whenever you gamble and just focus on what was in your current gambling condition. This will makes you focus on entering since the burden of thinking your losses will be remove while you can focus on the game.

However, if excessive effects become serious due to uncontrolled self-inflicted actions, the burden will increase if cannot control it. managing money, controlling money going in and out or losing, winning also needs to be assumed so that it is conducive for money to be controlled. I mean what you said by focusing on the game, it is possible that the money will be returned even though it is not 100% that has been lost. Of course the game algorithm will do this

This is different from someone who can be said as a gambling professional.

They'll surely allot the money properly to where it should be because they need it for their needs. While it's true that someone who's doing it or have done it before will have hard time.

Out of the many gamblers, there are very tiny numbers of those that still rely on gambling for all of their needs.

Almost impossible and very hard but they're able to survive.

True, when someone finds it hard or difficult to accept the reality of their losses then it means they are risking money that they are not able to account for, it is very simple to identify and I think at first glance we can conclude that they are irresponsible gamblers, in general in this situation they can usually become increasingly crazy or aggressive in making decisions, because the inability to accept the fact of losing is usually always the initial trigger for the idea of chasing losses in an impulsive way.

On the other hand maybe what you mean by don't think about ourselves when we are gambling is in the sense that we don't put too much ego in ourselves regarding the results that will occur at the end of the session, or what it means is that we have to be neutral and prepare ourselves for any possibilities that will occur at the end of the session, that's true but maybe I would say that in order to have that ability a gambler must first bet an amount that they can afford to be responsible for along with being aware of the risks that can occur at any time.

Yes, there are some people who still rely on gambling to fulfill their daily needs, but to gamble you also need to work so you can get money and finance your gambling because it is impossible to gamble without working or doing business, unless you get inheritance from your parents, you might end up spending it. all that money is for gambling without having to work, but that won't last long and you will definitely end up like other players losing money and experiencing big losses when gambling.

There is no reason why you would play gambling for your daily needs, whereas gambling requires money and you have to work or do business to pay for it. In essence, it is also impossible to make gambling a source of permanent income and main income because just gambling requires money to play so it is impossible to do so. , not all gamblers will continue to win as has been explained that there are only no more than 1% who win at gambling while the rest experience losses and big losses at gambling, that is the fact that we have to accept as gamblers is that there is no free money in this world Moreover, just playing gambling can make you rich.

addiction is a big problem specially because it's not all the people who can go out of it by themselves
sometimes they need help and not all of them will seek help when needed
