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

[traderethereum]

Most likely those professional gamblers are the one who spend more time in gambling and gamble is part of their lives now. So living away from it is not easy particularly to those make it as profession because this activity by which one regularly makes a living. They badly need help especially those have symptom of addiction, they cannot do it by themselves. It take long to time before they can get over from it.

When they have good skills in specific gambling games, I think they can make a living from gambling because they will be able to get the winning from the games. But as you said, it will be still difficult for him to get the win since gambling will not only depend on the skills, but I think he will know when he can gamble and when he needs to break for a while. I think he can handle himself when he plays gambling so he can prevent the addiction because that can make him get trouble if he gets addicted.

I have seen many gamblers improve their lives because of gambling. But this is only temporary because gambling is gambling and there are days when we are losing and we do not always win.
So we have to be careful and not always let our emotions work because this will cause loses to us always.

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.

It is so much difficult to become a professional gamblers, because it has a many bunch or study and experience to become one of them. Nowadays, gambling is the new era for the fast earning profit so that there's are also a huge number of professional gambler are spreads over the world to make more money. But before we get that there, it really needs a hard effort and time consuming to master the every gambling platform. In my own opinion, you need also to developed your own gambling strategy as your secret recipe that the other gamblers wouldn't know.

In my own personal opinion, there is no such thing who consider himself or herself a professional gambler because knowing how to gamble doesn't make you a professional person. To be honest, no gambler have become rich in gambling because we gamblers mostly lose even we won couple of time, that is why only casino owners and dealers are the only one's who can be rich in gambling.

We should not disregard that a lot of people also are winning in gambling, I think, that is the reason why others also are being influenced in joining gambling. Although in most cases, it is true that people lose not only in gambling but also in life: their career and responsibilities, when not controlled.

So far, I still don't heard of people being a professional gambler because, gambling is solely a game of luck and mainly it is only what decides your fate in it. We could only say, that there are a lot of experienced gamblers that have survived in it losing and winning in a daily basis.

I think it is a possible reality for people to live off as a professional gambler, but i do not think it is the best.
Gambling should be taken as a side hustle, where you get to gamble at your leisures, either daily or weekly. That way, we get to gamble responsibly and without desperation.

Taking up gambling as a way of living, will sometimes lead to desperation, which causes or factors borrowing to gamble.
And that is not good enough

What about those who doesn't play or gamble, but uses gambling sites to earn? Basically to run your own gambling site. Well, in that case, I could consider the person as a professional gambler why?

First, in order for you to run a gambling site, you should know how to play, the back and front end logic of the games, and to completely understand how the game works even the chances of winning. Second, professional gamblers are like gambling site owners because in order for you to make sure that you gambling site will work, you should tests it on your own. So testing it multiple times makes you play gambling just like what professional gamblers does. Lastly, you need to consider risking something in your life for the sake of gambling. Perhaps, your living will depend purely on the gambling site that you made.

There are already a lot of people who get rich because of gambling, even if there are so many people that against with the gambling, I can still say that there is good thing in gambling especially if you don't lose so much money and time here, there are already some articles that I have read about gamblers who became successful because of betting, such as Don Johnson who became rich because of the game blackjack. Billy Walters who became rich because of  both golf and sports betting, so by that thing we cannot say that gambling is not good at all.

Those who live out of gambling are those successful ones, here is the link of successful gamblers:

Well there are tons of professional poker players that manages to win hundreds of thousands, if not millions in one seating/tournament. There are also those who live off purely of betting on sports and/or other events. One notable person I follow who lives his life through playing poker professionally is Erik Seidel. We all know his magic hands and how much WSOP bracelets he have in his arsenal (. You also have Daniel Negreanu who bagged 6 WSOP bracelets and was considered one of the best poker players in 2014. It is possible though again, you need to have an extreme amount of luck, experience, skill, and of course, starting money in order to live off your life with just gambling.

Well said mate, I think those who can win a hundred thousands are those gamblers who play games that requires skills and techniques because it is really hard to win the game if it only relies on the luck of a gamblers.

i totally disagree mate,because just check the first page of this thread and you will find the links about those people that make gambling as living and i am telling you,they are super rich people and living in the most luxurious ways.

there are people that treat gambling as profession as long as they are gaining and not losing in same ways.

That's why we are inspired and we like to follow their path, however, the reality is not most of us can't be successful in gambling in terms of making ourselves profitable, so if don't have any limit, the worst case scenario that would happen is we will go bankrupt.

So we have to be careful and not always let our emotions work because this will cause loses to us always.

If there are gamblers who improved their lives because of gambling, these are the things that can happen to them
1. They will still gamble their money including their profits until they will lose it all. No contentment at all.
2. If they stopped gambling because they got their profits already, they will use their money in bad things such as drugs, liquor or going to a bar with girls etc. In short, they will use it on vices instead of using it on investment or business.

Either way, I don't see any gambler who improved their life with the help of gambling "PERMANENTLY". Most of the gamblers out there who are winning don't know how to roll their money and make it grow thru investments and business.

There is no assurance that you will earn money in the gambling let just say that you are professional gambler they still losing money like professional poker player they have a lot of startegy and they know how to bluff the players but sometimes they did not useful. Gambling is not a profession for me unless you are owner of the gambling casino you wll buy your needs and wants because you will get a lot of profit but if you are player it is not, it is better to find a real job because gambling is not source of income.

[Shasha80]

I think it's very risky to make gambling a profession, unless you have the ability like the MIT Blackjack Team which has a way to win
Blackjack games continuously at the casino. But I believe geniuses like them are very rare, normal people like us should not be careless
with gambling as a source of income. Because we know that playing gambling has an element of luck, which may not necessarily be on
our side. My advice is not to expect to make a living from gambling, it's a stupid thought to make gambling a profession.

[Vaskiy]

Gambling as a profession isn't good. One in hundred succeed making a good revenue out of gambling. Most of the time people consider gambling as profession, once after experiencing a massive win through gambling. To be a professional gambler, the user needs luck as well as tactics which can be executed through experimenting.

[ecnalubma]

Gambling as a profession? Maybe its possible if your pro in skill based casino games just like texas holdem poker because you need high level set of skills and experiences, non-skill based casino games are impossible to earn a living because you will only rely on pure luck.

Absolutely true, i have personally interacted with personnel who were made from gambling but the sad story about them was, they started in gambling (make their live from gambling) and end (all their acquired winnings were dusted into ashes) in gambling. Most professionals in gambling with good track records where the same that went into the deep, be able to discipline oneself in gambling should be encourage.

I have seen many gamblers improve their lives because of gambling.

And I've seen more people who have lost everything and, in extreme cases, even commited suicide. Over the years there have been sad stories to read here in the forum. Very few can make a living from gambling, and they really do it professionally in all of its aspects. Most of the players lose more than they bet.

Making gambling a profession will certainly have risks because there will always be the possibility that gamblers may lose more money than they win. Even good gamblers have lost because in gambling there is such a thing as random movements that make gamblers lose.

Gambling as a profession will be faced with an uneasy path, moreover there is no standard salary for this profession and the most dangerous thing is when the profession turned into an addiction to gambling.

[hahay]

I'm sure there are professional gamblers out there and I'm also sure, with the big wins that sometimes get it will be enough for him to pay for his daily living needs or maybe for the next few months, at the same time will be used again for betting. So, I feel that pro gamblers are gamblers who have big bankrolls so they don't worry too much about losing, because in the end they will definitely be able to handle it with their experience and strategy.

[bitbollo]

there are just few people in each country that are really able to gain like a real job from making bets.
you need also a good balance before starting or most will be just lucky.

I have read an interview some yers ago of a player that was flying over the world just to play live match in tennis. it's clear that at a certain level it requires time skills and effort that are not common... this is why just few are able to do so.
