Gambling for a living or a living for Gambling?

[Zaun]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi Everyone..!!!

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

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

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

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

That will be a dream job.

[LuckyYOU]

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

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

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

[healer]

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

[Echye]

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

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

[Newcoins2020]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Snail2]

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

[zivone]

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

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

With my question I am not telling that all your money will be lost within a night or two (things this totally possible with a gambler with your convictions) but during a given time.

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

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

[vendetahome]

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