Most gambling activities are not profitable at all. In fact, they're losing propositions. That's how the house makes money.

There are exceptions though. May want to read up on which types of games are possible to an edge.

Even these games you're talking about that in a way can give you an edge in winming, its still not for long term. Any kind of gambling isnt for long term profits. If you:re looking for long term earnongs, might as well do trading or investing
Getting an edge long term in some games is possible but it is something really hard to achieve, since it is obvious that the house has set their games to favor themselves so only in games like poker where you are playing against other players is where you can find yourself earning some profits but it is not easy.

And sports betting because there are no fixed odds (i.e the house cant predict the exact likelihood of events whereas they could in roulette) it is possible to profit long term through finding incorrectly priced markets, but as the house is directly effected by you winning it's much harder to profit long term than poker, where the house don't really care who wins or loses long term. Sports betting bookmakers will close or limit accounts of successful long term sports betters, so half the job is getting new accounts opened in friends/ relatives names. Also there are some bookmakers who have extremely sharp (accurate) lines, and they don't limit users, but these are so hard to profit on, I'd say less than 0.2% of all sports betters can profit on these, mainly big companies with bots that place bets in milliseconds of a price becoming available.

The only problem in online is cutting card you never know how deep your deck it....
You can never win over house in the long run in online casinos.
also you cant make steady profits from gambling ,its not a job ?
Yeah i agree with you. No one can never ever win in gambling in the long run. It is not also a profitable at all like just the other think. Yes you can have a profit on this but it is for a short time only but in the end of the day that small profit will be loose together with your capital and the is together with your all wealth.

Gambling has not been profitable in most cases. The gamblers who have made a large amount of wealth from it are the ones who have either gambling charm or they do cheating. For such people, gambling produces long term profits and their proportion is very low. They are some rare cases. Other than that, gambling is not profitable in long terms.

Sports bets also fall in that category since it is impossible for them to calculate the odds precisely of something that is so random so once in a while bets with good odds for the bettor are going to appear and the clever sports bettor will take that opportunity and profit from it.

I'm not sure, gambling can provide long-term benefits. If yes, of course in this world there are many gambler become millionaires. And reality is many gamblers become losers in their social class.

Gambling is really not profitable in the long term. In the beginning of course you will win because of what they called 'beginners' luck. However, if you analyze, its just pure luck on your side. But  thinking it can be profitable, we try go one more try again and eventually end up losing and you became addicted.

And instead of being profitable, you end up losing more. So its better to exit early when you still can and have your winnings in your pocket.

In this business, if you really want to earn big you must invest huge capital to possibly win but only on short term. If you invest in small amount of money in the bankroll,  well don't expect that you are going to earn big income either in short term or long term.

I don't think if we use huge capital to play gambling will be profitable in long time because play gambling depend on the lucky of gamblers but with large of capital will be more good to makes gambling games website, it has chance to getting profit from fees transaction on gambling games than just play gambling with large of capital.

It is pretty much the same but people keep thinking that they have better chance in sportsbetting. In fact sportsbetting has higher house edge so in the long term you are most likely going to lose. It wont really benefit us in the long term but people keep saying with the right 'analysis' of the game things might be changing

Very much applicable in gambling because we can't go on if we do have a very small amount of capital / bankroll. Also try to give time to yourself a break to invest into bankroll's of gambling sites, this is one of the ways that you can profit in a longer term.

Yes, its also involves big amount of bankroll to be able to won big. This is also applicable even in a landbased casino slots machine. I see a lot of gamblers who have already big amount of money but not withdrawing because they are betting max and they are targeting to get the big bonus, which only gives, once you max bet on certain machines. But for those who have small capital to begin, you can still win but not that much, unless you are extremely lucky to hit the jackpot with small bet.

I think that's the easiest way to be profitable in gambling, we side with the house so we can make money like them.
We can only be profitable if we have that skills and talent to be a successful gambler and usually it does not happen in an instant, you have to go through a lot of adjustment but in the end you will be rewarded because you will be successful in the long run.

It is pretty much the same but people keep thinking that they have better chance in sportsbetting. In fact sportsbetting has higher house edge so in the long term you are most likely going to lose. It wont really benefit us in the long term but people keep saying with the right 'analysis' of the game things might be changing
in fact in sports betting people also have the edge because they can  use their analysis and experience and then decide to take a step, therefore i will like to say that sports betting is more profitable as compare to casino betting where we cannot use depend only on our luck and cannot use our experience and analysis.

Most gambling activities are not profitable at all. In fact, they're losing propositions. That's how the house makes money.

There are exceptions though. May want to read up on which types of games are possible to an edge.

Even these games you're talking about that in a way can give you an edge in winming, its still not for long term. Any kind of gambling isnt for long term profits. If you:re looking for long term earnongs, might as well do trading or investing
Getting an edge long term in some games is possible but it is something really hard to achieve, since it is obvious that the house has set their games to favor themselves so only in games like poker where you are playing against other players is where you can find yourself earning some profits but it is not easy.

Well the casino does need to make a profit off the players otherwise what will they earn? But its true that in EV+ games people can often get an edge over others if they are lucky - again luck is important. In PvP games it is definitely experience and practice of the players that pays off and some luck is involved as well. In the long term the only winner is the house and not the players.

Those games that are based only on luck can not bring constant profit, but sports bets that can be analyzed with the right approach can make a profit. But I do not consider this a good option for earning.

Gambling can be a profitable in a long term period if you’re patient enough but $50-$100 everyday is a tad bit impossible. There are gambling games that will earn you serious dough tho. If you have the skills and discipline then you can make a profit off of it. It can be profitable in long term as long as you’re winning more than losing. But I think you’re better off finding a stable job, that is the epitome, I think, of profitable in long term.

Can you tell me how you are able to do that. The game are designed to make you lose so how can you overcome that probability. If you are telling me some strategy like double your bet, then you are so wrong in the first place. It is possible to win like 0.1% or 1% or even 10% of your base in day and you can win for days, however when you lose, you will lose a lot more than what you win. That is why in the long run, people are losing and casino is winning.
