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

[livingfree]

those are gambling areas that you can mostly see professional gamblers that are really living out of gambling. since they are not relying entirely on their luck but their acquired knowledge of the game, they have high probability of winning as compared to other casino games.
if you are a loyal supporter of one specific sport like decades in the making, i believe you know already the chances of each player or each team for a particular match.
Btw, you can read blogs about being a professional sports bettor

but this is not for everybody, you should know the risks involved and you should live with it

Thank you for giving those links, I'll take time to read every single article.

I'm not that good compare with others in basketball if its about analyzing the teams but at least I can say that I have the knowledge. I'm not on that point and thought of being professional just like those people who succeed with their gambling career.

professionals love gambling and aren't afraid to risk huge amount of money because they can quickly earn it.

yes they can earn it fast compare to a regular gamblers because they are pro and skillful enough but i dont think that they arent afraid  , i dont think that they arent afraid to take risk because they are only humans and they arent perfect . there is still a posibility that they can loose in a game  . alot of things can happen when they loose like they can loose thier title or reputation  and worst of all they loose money  .

They still lose their games even at the position of being a professional gambler. I was funtunate to associate with some gamblers and know pretty much in their ways of life, they are risk takers and not professionals like we thought, they lose often but ready to take any risk to take back their loses, this makes them differs from us the regular gambler's.

What I’m thinking is that what you are mentioning here isn’t a professional gambler instead they are a typical or  addict gambler that keeping the risk even though they don’t have the feeling of being luck that same moment they’re playing

Those professional gamblers are different from gambling addict,because the professional can allow themselves to lose today and just don’t take it seriously,instead they will go home as if nothing happens and try luck the following day,while addicted will risk everything they have just to win and will seek another capital whatever’s it takes just to play and play

Even if they lose, they still try to gamble, but they can make money on the other days.

Lol those you mentioned is not a professional gamblers because a gambler with skills and abilities don’t gamble constantly specially when they feel like luck wasn’t on their side

Maybe they are very lucky to do that because not all gamblers can win in the gambling and we know that needs luck.

This happens once every blue moon and not for many people so I think this is isolated cases and cannot be expected for many occasions

That is why some gamblers still want to try to become a pro and still gamble because the prizes are too big to imagine. They would accept the risk because they know that is what happens in gambling, so that will not be a problem for them.

I believe that being a professional gambler isn’t a thing people intended to be,it’s just happen that the found the skill and luck always turns to them that’s why they use it as a career

Yeah right gambling is not that dangerous as people call it to be. For me gambling is profitable and i can use it whenever I  want and i never let gambling to disturb my daily routine  I can use it at night or morning but the true is I earn huge amount from gambling than I earn with my regular profession so gambling can be good profession though

You are right bro, nobody would leave a good job to become a professional gambler and also no professional gambler, planned to be. Some of us got into this as a result of the circumstances that surrounded us and some of the things we went through. I find some comments very insensitive, especially those that are good with insulting gamblers for having it as a profession.

In my country, the level of employment is very alarming and the only means of survival for a huge number of youths is gambling and you will not blame young people that a trying to get a living for themselves and families. This is at least better than stealing and involving in other criminal activities.

In my country, the level of employment is very alarming and the only means of survival for a huge number of youths is gambling....

Can you explain more? I just can't believe that this is possible.
Gambling operators are operating for profit and they have been doing that consistently that's why the industry is growing.

If some people in your county can rely on gambling for their daily means, they should easily become rich, and that will get them out from poverty.
What I really know is that the poor gets poorer when they are too focus in gambling, this one is pretty different.

[shoreno]

In my country, the level of employment is very alarming and the only means of survival for a huge number of youths is gambling and you will not blame young people

But how can they manage to play gambling if they dont have jobs because your on a country that jobs are only limited  . instead of playing a gambling why can they just use that time explore more ways to live better ?  

We can blame them because what i think their doing is wrong , gambling should not ever be treated as a primary source of incoming or a job because it wont just work .

I did betting as a profession for over 2 years before I finally got myself a job, I think that’s almost 5 years back, I lost my job at that time and I needed something to keep me going, it was fun having to run it as a profession. I made sure I used every opportunity I got to play to minimize losses and maximize profit and it sustained my needs during those times.

Since you went through that phase and survived, I am sure you would agree that with time you only up losing more than what you make so gambling habits should be kept within strict limits for addicted gamblers with some breaks in between to prevent huge losses. Bankroll management is one of the key points that people miss out ending up in devastating losses and thus I emphasize on that for anybody willing to take the risk.

I believe those who tend to boast about their gambling skills are typically bluffs - I am not referring to jostorres though, but those who appear on media and all telling people about other sites, they are bascially paid actors for the casinos.

I agree with you mate, I always see people who list out their achievements from gambling and talk about their skills as those who have been paid by the casinos to do so, because  in real life being an expert gambler is quite impossible. The game is unpredictable, so how can anyone be an expert or boast of skills? It’s absurd. I understand the aspect of experience as an added advantage but definitely not skills.

I have been gambling for roughly over 10 years now and my friends would always expect me to give them a strategy that would work for each games and I am wondering if I have that for myself either lol. This is a game of lucky that we all try to see how our luck plays out. Let’s not be deceived, there is no professional gamblers anywhere in the world.

You called them stupid if they treat gambling as a way of living when they are not even making a living on it.
That's a false belief and that's the reason why some gamblers suffers addiction because instead of playing with discipline, they don't follow it, what they follow is their belief that gambling is an easy way of making even if they don't experience it themselves.

The solution for country with big poverty problem is to improve the economy so people can look for a job, they should not resort to gambling.

A profession is what pays you with a 100% guarantee for your effort

I tend to disagree with this view

Even if you are working full time in a big company, you don't have a 100% guarantee to be paid for your effort. The history knows a lot of examples when even the biggest companies failed and busted (see the Lehman Brothers case to get an idea). And I'm not even talking about a multitude of other professions where your income directly depends on your activity or how much your expertise in a particular field is demanded. There are tons of such professions where your effort may not even be in demand or you don't get what you expect and hope for

[fullhdpixel]

I am just wondering what you mean by them sacrificing. It is safe to say you are one of the supports of gambling a s a profession and that’s not really a good thing. Gambling is a game for entertainment and I believe that’s the kind of player you are. How then can you admire someone who is doing something wrong and against gambling policy because I believe gambling as a profession is not recognized in gambling.

If the efforts professional gamblers put into the game was invested into something better, they would definitely be better citizens of their different countries but then, they decided to waste the effort on something that is not profitable.

I think I really need to know what is wrong with supporting gambling as a profession. I don’t understand how we make it seem like a horrible habit. If you choose to have it for fun, then fine. It doesn’t mean everyone has to be like you. Maybe you have enough money to take care of your needs and all you need is to relax but don’t forget there are many in need of clothing, shelter and other basic needs, so they might have to raise money by gambling and I fall into this category of persons.

It is right to advise professional gamblers to be wise when playing and to avoid greed but what is wrong is to discriminate, I find that very offensive. We all have our lives to live, and let everyone do what seems pleasing to them. This is my opinion, Period.

A profession is what pays you with a 100% guarantee for your effort.

I can say that gambling can be used as a profession only for two types :
1) Become an affiliate of a casino and earn money by promoting it

2) Owning a casino yourself thus make profit in the long run.

Apart from these, there's no way you can use gambling as a profession.

If you mean by gambling your money to increase it forever without losing? Never happening. The opposite will happen though. In the long run, you will lose everything!

I prefer number two. But to build a casino, we need to have much money, and it's not easy to build the other one because we see that there are already too many gambling sites available. But if we can build an attractive gambling site which better than the other site, then I am sure that soon or later, we will get the members. The most important to build the gambling site is we can show to them that our site is legit, and that is not easy.

For number one, I think that is not a gambler because we only get the business and not playing the games to earn money. So I think it's different jobs than the gambler itself.

[hahay]

Well, gambling is not a profession even though in gambling you can get profit, but still gambling is a place where you look for fun and also a benefit that might be obtained if you are lucky. So, even though they are professional gamblers, in my opinion they do not make gambling as their main source of income.

[sammyp]

I have got a number of friends who say they are currently depending on gambling as their main means of earning a living. I did not believe but what confuses me now is the fact that these guys are always at the internet cafe searching for odds. I never see them do anything else. So I am getting convinced that they actually make a living out of it but the question is " how much and is it sustainable?"

I have known a person who live out of gambling as a profession. My mother's cousin is like that and he's always been going to casinos every night and come home with lots of money. I don't know what he did but one thing I know is he also let other gamblers loan money from him. Lucky enough to received lots of money if the owner of the casino visits and giving money to gamblers. This case is live casino and not online.

However in his case he is lucky to make a living out of gambling, following him don't make your mind think you could also be a gambler and earn a big sum of money. Your relation carries big sum of money and spends on the casino, rather than that I see him as a person lending money to the gambler and gets back with interest. Even with online gambling you'll get bonus or giveaway from owners. Even for that you need to be luck and should complete certain tasks.

Maybe your mother cousing gets money from lending money to gamblers. I'm not sure every gambler can go home every day with money in their pocket from gambling profits. because I don't think luck is always present in gambling games every day. You can live from the gambling business, but you can't live only from gambling games #IMO

That could be true because by lending some money to gamblers, she will get a lot of return. But if she can win a lot of money from gambling, then she is one of the luckiest people in gambling. Although we think that it's difficult to win in the gambling games, she will not feel that it is difficult because she can win and proves to us that she can get money from gambling.

Everyone certainly from the beginning did not want this profession.
Because of the passage of time, people would not have thought that gambling could be done as a profession.
Well, everyone certainly can not do this profession, because this profession is a profession that has a high risk.

I have a friend who makes gambling as his main income every day, this is not wrong. Because even friends have found the game to benefit.

You sure he does not have other jobs?Maybe he goes out, withdraw lots of money, gamble in a casino and then comeback with remaining balance? He may even be working in the casino and getting paid daily. You should know exactly where the money comes from before believing that casino is a regular source of income

Gambling is best living resources but only if you deal it with care and you follow all the rules of the casino. Gambling can make you earn enough money to live good life without any problems. It is profitable and it helps to enjoy our time we are able to make money and also have fun but it is best to use with your job as well.
