I used to do this for about 4-5 years and i quit about 3 years ago.  There are better things to do, dont fall into that trap.  If you have to do something like that try and trade bitcoin markets, at least the skill is transferable if the bitcoin market fails.  You become a poker player and your life will go to shit.  Seems cool now but its just a shit long term plan.

Why not work on things that you can do for next 20 years etc and be happy/healthy?

work on what for next 20 years things will be even more fucked up then now
no thanks ill be better playing poker and earn some money that is decent to live with (im good but yet to master it)

Dude i dont know your age right now but poker is a young mans game forever more or less (mathmatical peak is like 23 years i think for a brain) - Unless you are a poker celeb like daniel negreanu you wont enjoy playing poker 6-8 hours a day when you start getting 27-30 years old etc.  So if all you've done up to 27 -30 years old is master your poker skills you'll be up shit street by that time.  Games get harder year on year as poker isnt growing globally anymore to the levels it once was.  The grind gets harder mentally and physically. 

There is limited scalability in poker also - have you thought about that single scalability factor, it might be the most important thing to consider?  I remember i made more in my first few years as a pro than i did in last.   Poker does not scale well at all, you likely get to $20,$50 or even $100 per hour and then its all downhill year on year.

Even if you are 18,19 or something now there are many better things than full time poker playing, it super unhealthy for your body and you turn into a moron who thinks about everything single thing in life in terms of poker.   

Play part time and work on a something else also, you can still make good money at poker but not be stuck with it.

When i first tried quiting poker it actually took me about 2 years to actually fucking quit, its really hard to adjust to anything after grinding.  I ended up selling some shit on ebay at first to make a livivng and since have worked on selling other shit online in various ways.  It actually scales very easy what i do now vs poker, i can actually see ways i could scale to $300k - $500k a year infact (nowhere near that now but the point is it really is possible) - no chance with poker unlesss you are a genius. 

I still play occasionally.  Thinking about getting back into some part time action but just for fun.

What should you do instead i dont know, diversification is key.  What are you good at? I suggest you make a business somehow, same freedoms as poker and way better in so many ways.

Op if you think that faucets can create any kind of opportunity for you in 2015 you are very wrong. To gamble or trade BTC you either has to be early adopter or buy bitcoins for you FIAT.
If you can offer your skills in exchange for BTC it is also good option. Then if you acquire sufficient amount you can gamble or trade with it. I don't see any other way.

I dont understand why you can earn that big amount in doing exchange? You can't get that much in such a little time except you have more money to do that exchange thing may be you can earn that big but that will take time too

Is there anyone out there that makes a living on buying, selling, trading BTC.  When I say buying, selling, trading, I am talking about people who play faucets, gamble, trade services, or any other trading/activity with BTC.  If you are out there, please enlighten us on what we can do to get the same results on our end.

I don't honestly think it's possible to earn a living solely on gambling as 99% of sites have house edges and unless you have insanely deep pockets to begin with eventually your "strategy" will fail and you will be left broke. It is impossible to make a living wasting your time with faucets and trying to gamble it into anything sustainable in the long term I would say..

I have been as of recently encouraging fellow low caste BTC users to instead of waste time fauceting go out and learn skills that you can sell online for BTC. Sure as hell beats going around wasting your life for fractions of cents while being bombarded by ads and lord knows what else.

many are doing this. I am sure many of which make gambling as part of his life. it is an option 

[HardForkComing]

I do. I'm playing poker. It pays well.

There are risks of losing your money although, and not being able to pay your rent, if you're greedy.
I've limited my gambling to $40 per day. When I hit double that, I leave the table and don't look back till the next day.

All you need is skill and patience. I've been playing poker professionally since my teen years.

I think there are a few of them out there who make a living of BTC. Those who owns a gambling site that accepts BTC and pays BTC is included here I guess. But juts like what others said, you can't live with just playing faucets, there has to be some other source of BTC income like campaigns, selling and trading digital goods in exchange for BTC.

i understand yours opinion but well, this could be discussed but my standings are that if your really good you can make a nice living from playing a game where you enjoy,and good living with witch you can open your own bussnies and be your own boss.
i think that poker is game witch gives you oportunity to be what you want in life (lets say you want to have a firm) you can easily make money to open it with playing poker (only if your good enough)

I play dice and gamble sports on a daily basis. Im not saying i win everyday or anything but i have my fair share of good days. If youre looking for solid advice on what to do to be a consistent daily winner i dont think anyone can really give you that. ! thing i would suggest for longterm is maybe invest into moneypot but you would need a decent sized investment

[bering]

unfortunately i never can do that because basic of gambling is pure from luck and i don't have much luck for make a living from gambling

I don't believe that gambling will make your life better,  looked like an easy way to make some money because it can double or triple your money instantly but nah .Yeah, gambling it's just a matter of luck!

[safari88]

I do not think many people gamble for their lives, but I think if they win, its gambling money is sure just for fun, like a drunk, paying for women. because if you gamble for a living is wrong, because you will never get it

well there is actually tons of people who live on gambling and they win a lot a lot everyday. it is just that most other people wont know how to stop and end up losing so much money. and this is where the real gamble will profit from it.

[btckold24]

you gotta be way to disciplined to grind.  When I play poker i want to play more than just ak aa kk qq lol - You can sit for an hours and not get a decent starting hand. Have a real job and just have fun with gambling imo

I did make some small savings at poker but looking back it was very hard work to get those savings, could of made the same savings doing many other things. You dont always need much money to start an online business, i didnt need much.

Being good at poker and making something like $50k - $100k a year seems very hard these days.  I just been checking out the cash games over last couple days on pokerstars and they play so tight now the action is dead.  I used to 20 table 100nl and make about $70-$80 per hour on average. Problem is you think great $70 an hour, i'll just play 40 hours a week and make tons, reality is you put in about 20-25 hours a week.  The bad runs hurt 4 times as bad when you play fulltime and need the money - you need to take time off to recover from tilt = less hours.

I had the same idea, make some money @ poker, buy a house, start a business etc.  Wish i just play part time and started business right away looking back.

I don't think faucets is an actual gamble. Unless you're talking about the chances you'll get some more satoshi.

You don't lose anything by using faucets. It will take a long time before you earn 1 btc with faucets, so you can't really make a living out of faucets.

Faucet is not actually a gamble, it's a service, just for typing the correct captcha and you will receive a dust. It will take years for you to earn 1Bitcoin in faucet, a waste of time.

I am nowhere near good enough in any type of gambling/betting to do it for a living. I'd be living on the street if I tried

Gambling should be a hobby, something to do for fun.

I dont understand why you can earn that big amount in doing exchange? You can't get that much in such a little time except you have more money to do that exchange thing may be you can earn that big but that will take time too

Actually I disagree with you .If faucets used properly can make a shit lods of btcs .I'm just giving an example of a guy who used to make 0.1 btc a week with just faucets. The trick is to run multiple faucets for 24 hours a day and multiple accounts using VPN's.This can be a lazy trick to earn free btcs but consumes a lot of resources .

If you can dedicate your whole time and resources just to run 'faucet machine' then you probably will earn more than peanuts. But it is as you said, you MUST have machine online for 24h.
In some places electricity bills will be actually higher than your income from faucets.
