Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling?

[maydna]

Another source of income for professional gamers is betting. Sports betting on results in football or horse racing can be very lucrative. A well thought-out betting and betting strategy is crucial. The high win rate may be tempting, but a professional gambler needs a balance between risk and security.

This is a long term job, if you already achieve consistency, you'll be able to enjoy being a professional sports bettor. They say that the chances of success is low, yes that's true because only few people are serious with sports betting, majority are does not have a proper planning and skills in sports betting.

it's very lucrative if you are already making yourself profitable as you can bet regularly even at the comfort of your own home.

I wish we will reach this goal in our life as a gambler, if not, we will continue to spend money in gambling and loss more, but if we think of it as an entertainment, then loses will become as an amount as our expenses just to have fun in gambling.

The reality is, only few has the skills to make real money from people who tried to make a living in gambling.

It is hard to reach our goal as a gambler because we already know that playing gambling is not a quick way to make money, and even we will lose that money in a fast time. If you have a goal in your life as a gambler, you need to remember that, and it is better to change your goal to other things, so you will have a chance to reach your goal.

The losses will be bigger if we don't realize, and even if we have skills in a specific gambling game, we still need to know that gambling will be lost and win, and we need to know how to be wise when playing gambling.

This is a real thing. Many have tried to make it as a living but it's not that everybody who tried became successful from doing it. A very risky source of income if you'll going to make from it. But it's not just about gambling on your own that you can source from making money out of it.
There are other things you can do like affiliate if you're too good at signing people into your ref link.

Affiliate marketing is really a considerable if you are really good on inviting people and this is much more worth of to spend up your time without needing to spend much money or shall we say
you would be needing to be tactful though or really good on convincing people.This is one of the way on where you can make out money with gambling but if we do talk literally
on playing gambling then this isnt really applicable for anybody and as said that lots have tried but majority of them do really failed to do so.
Only a few would succeed and only except to those who are really good on strategic kind of games.

[Pamadar]

Just curious here.
I know there are tons of way to live.

but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?

people who make a living onlyout of gambling (online or on rl)?

resources and comments on that are really welcome.

I think there are guys who are living to play gambling but I don't think there is a person who makes gambling his main source of income because it is nearly impossible since the probability of winning on any gambling is not a hundred percent sure. I know a lot of guys who live their life on gambling but they also have a job that can support their daily expenses and their investment before they gamble. Even me, I am gambling with a lot of money but I don't think I can live my life just gambling because it may affect a lot of things in my body. I am only gambling when I have extra money but if I don't have, I am not letting myself cut the food or other expenses just to gamble because I know that gambling is not a sure income and might kill all of my investment.

There's still possibilities that a person find ways to live a life around his/her gambling activities.

There are wise/smart gamblers who manage to enjoy the luxury of finding a good system to keep them in positive or lessent the chance of burning out their capital, people who do manage to quit while they've got some decent earnings or stay away when the loses already fills their targets.

The use of affiliate programs as a source of income is basically not for the long term. Well, you managed to bring in a few or maybe a lot of people but in the end they won't keep gambling and most of them just try for a while and then leave. So still, the program that I experienced was not for the long term even for the short term it was not really profitable. Therefore, it is not right for gambling to become a profession and even though you are a skilled gambler you basically need a steady income outside of gambling.

Perhaps, some people live from gambling, but I am not sure about the number of them. I am sure that there are professional gamblers who are playing gambling and make money from gambling. But I think they don't expose who they are especially for people who can make a thousand dollars from gambling. That is difficult to become a professional gambler because we need to master the games. We need to have much experience in the games, and that will need a long time before we can be a professional gambler.

You can like sport betting and know how to analyse, you can play dice and believe in luck and still think you are professional enough but not, you can try other ways of gambling like playing poker and win today thinking you are a professional, but if today is good, that does not mean tomorrow can be. There are many people that will just think that way and depends only on gambling, these kind of people will have money today and leave poor later. They may later have issue with their wife leaving them and their life becoming miserable. Any good gambler you see out there only depend on luck, they were just lucky to hit the jackpot. Nothing like professional gamblers, the more people see it as profession, the more they lose. But the more someone see it as fun, using low amount of money to for it, there can be a day he will win jackpot. Many people will gamble but out of 100, less than one will be the ones that truly make it from gambling actually, and that because they do not see gambling reliable but as luck.

yes, there are people who makes tons of money by affiliate marketing in crypto and other areas like infoproducts.

PLR licensing is another good way to make money online for those who are starting and dont have other more profitable skills yet.

though this is really different than gambling, maybe it lacks the risk and adrenaline that comes with betting on an unknown outcome that some may be seeking... don't know...

I wonder if there's a gambling/betting analyst job, and google directed me to this link:

most of them for sports betting analyst.

Making stories that will make the readers sign up is one of the skills needed. Because you just can't say to the people that they should sign up under you. That's not interesting and might be rude for those people that you'll invite to sign. I wonder if someone from the forum is still making good sources from it. In 2017, I've seen people who are making a good amount of money from it. It's not an actual gambling activity but it's under it and other services are also having this type of incentive through exchanges and crowd fundings.

why gambling/betting analysis is a fraud because they are not a gambler for sure, most of them only sell consulting services instead of providing input based on personal experience.  There has been an incident around my city where a gambling/betting analyst was arrested by the police for misleading customers and making many of his customers lose. 

gambling with your own experience and knowledge is still the best even though losing at least it is the result of your own decision and not the result of others.

Actually it depends on the person or the analyst. Would you get a personal analyst that you didn't know and doesn't have any reputation or some feedbacks from others? No right? The person is also responsible to whom he will choose to. I think not all of them are fraud, but I believe some of them exist. I don't think any people would risk into someone without making some research in backgrounds. But I also believe that in gambling, the best profit and earning is experience. You will know that you learn if you experienced to lose and to have some ups and downs in your life as a gambler. Be sure to be responsible in you acts, bets and money.

Once you enter gambling you are not sure about what is the result  if you are gonna win or not. Maybe to those people who are capable of earning money are not everyday win but if they total or compute their total winning every weeks they have a good profit but it is a not a right job for us if you are regular player don't do that because high chances it will not works.

Being a professional gambler, you don't just rely on the league prizes because you're already professionals and already representing some brands. For sure, those professional gamblers already having many promotions where they can earn more money not just in gambling. Technically, if you become a pro, more opportunities will come and you'll not just rely on profit from gambling. So I don't really think that gambling every day is almost similar to pro-gambling because it's still at a different level and casual gambling CAN'T be considered a real job.

Basically, the more often people bet, the greater the chance of winning and also the increase in the number of losse. Someone who would be said to be a professional gambler is someone who relies heavily on his skill and expertise in gambling, has a mental and style. But all of that will still depend on luck. I just assume that all gambler who are able to control their emotion and manage their finance in gambling will be called professional gambler.

The more they bet the more they make money, they would not be professional in their field of venture if they don't trust their skills and have proven that they are really good at gambling.

Professional gamblers does not gamble for money, they consider that they are doing as their job, unlike majority of the gamblers where they just gamble and have fun, so they likely lose money. Professional gambler choose their game and they know the games that they have an edge and they focus on it.

I think we should make it clear if a gambling/betting analyst has the same job as a tipster.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipster

And this is a gambling analyst
https://www.wise-geek.com/what-does-a-gaming-analyst-do.htm

Based on these 2 links, Tipster and Gambling analyst is two different jobs.

according to your opinions above, I think it's more like a tipster. CMIIW

I've been seeing people who are sharing their predictions about sports and if they monetize on it, they're likely to be paid with membership fees or with commissions from the people who are taking their analysis.

But they could also be an agent by a bigger agency that hires analysts to do the job.

If we are talking specifically about gambling and not about gambling where there is an element of skill, then the picture is exactly the opposite. It is quite easy to win at a distance of 10 bets, at a distance of 100 bets it is more difficult, at a distance of 1000+ bets it is almost unrealistic. The larger the number of bets, the closer to theoretical results (and the casino always wins on them).

Bet will always be depends on the person decision for me. It is gambler who is responsible for his winnings. We all know that gambling has always a 50/50 chance of winnings. And people oftenly always believe that it will always depends on strategy but definitely itis because of the persons greed and how to control emotions. Gambling is one of the best thing that happens in this days. And gamnling is considered as one of the good investment today, because it can give you a quite good earnings and also because of the good coins that pumping today. I can see some opporunity in gambling as well as others.

People will have the same chance to win and to lose. But if they continue playing for more, I am afraid that the opportunity to lose will become bigger as many things such as emotion, money, and control will change following their playing. The emotion, money and control will increase, and if one of those things becomes bigger, they will lose control, which is the first thing that can attract them to lose more money. But as a professional gambler, he will not lose that because he can control himself, which will not affect his emotion.

[Rruchi man]

but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?

If you gamble full time, be ready to incur losses and always be in anxiety. Gambling is a game of chance and chance may not always be on your side. You might loose all your money and property if you gamble full time.
