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

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

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

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

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

Gambling is always about odds, and the house always wins Wink

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LOLwut?

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

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

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

Signatures? How about learning a skill... I don't care either way. Everybody has to make a living somehow.
