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

[Botnake]

there won't be many people who depend on income from gambling, especially if gambling can be done as a profession to be able to make money. I think only people who are lazy to work or do not have other jobs that make playing gambling a profession to make money instantly

What are you saying? The reason it is called a profession means that people are earning through it as a source of income. That is like when parents are telling their children that they can't earn anything from playing online games and now million and million of money are being priced to these games and now being called esports.

He clearly does not understand what is gambling and what is making money in gambling.

Calling it lazy is alright, in fact I think that a gambler making money in gambling is a smart person, he doesn't need to work hard, he just have to play it smart. Whatever our strategy or our way is, our main purpose why we work is to make money, gambling can be a profession also, and it could be the highest paying job if you are successful in this venture, I'm telling you it's true, most gamblers aim to win consistently, but only few have the skills to do it.

“You're not gonna get rich from metal detecting,” Norbert Mong said. “But this is the most relaxing thing you can do.”

lol, you have really found some good quotes there. I particularly like Mr Norbert Mong's comment, he shall henceforth be known in our household as "The Metal Detecting Buddha"  

I feel this is dangerously close to getting off-topic (OK, it's already miles off-topic), but I once went metal detecting as a teenager. I found a human jaw bone... realized I had been wandering around in a medieval burial ground... back then I thought it was pretty cool. Now... not so much..

It's not exactly off-topic because we are discussing here the possibility of living out of gambling. Metal detecting is worth talking about because this is a good analogy of gambling activity: if you do it just for fun, you can indeed have fun with it and you can even "win big" occasionally finding something precious such as ancient Roman gold coins. But if you decide to make your living from it, you are doomed.

You can call yourself as a professional gambler or whatever who make a living out of it successfully for years ... until the time where you lost everything because of gambling come.

Yesss it's a very rare case when someone live out of gambling forever! It's sounds impossible for some people.
At some point you can have a different way to describe this 'live out of gambling'  but A wise action is the needed ... here's the scenario.

once you hit big and you think it's enough to have a good life for years and start a legit business , you have to leave gambling world forever and forget it so you won't wasting / risking your money anymore to gamble.
Then you are living well because of gambling now.

I like that last paragraph. People don't seem to remember this when they argue that no one becomes successful through gambling. I have seen/heard couple of people who got super lucky playing lottery or sports betting.
But the funny thing about this whole thing is that once their life is changed in that measure, they completely abandoned gambling. This is exactly thesame opportunity millions of gamblers are wishing for.  So it is safe to conclude that few are successful through gambling.

Very few are successful through gambling, and the difference between the successful person and person ruining life is the exit point. We don't know the right exit point, but when we keep on making profit we'll automatically go crazy and increase the betting value. This won't be done by the successful gambler, he just cash it out and leaves the game.

There's only few people who can manage to get this kind of priveledge. The gambling industry is a successful business, and only those who are lucky and have a good initiative to work,  keep enhancing knowledge and capabilities to use the right emotions and attitude while you're dealing with this activities.

Those people who acquired opportunities to live a life using this venue mostly are kind of people who are not greedy. They are contented with decent profits to survive then  comeback the next day to play again.

Greediness is not a measure here as everyone of us has that inside of us, what is necessary to make money in gambling is to be consistent and I don't think those who are making money will be contented since as you said, they will come back to play another day.

Personally, if I have this kind of skills, I will never be contented, making a living in gambling is the best job that we cannot limit our income, here, we can be rich even in just a short period of time that's why a lot of gamblers are trying their luck here but they were wrong since it's not luck what is needed here but skills to consistently win.

I think they are not lazy, but they don't have work, and they cannot search for work in out there, so they try to play gambling. They think that they can win the games and get the money, but the truth is that it will be difficult for them to win. We can count with our finger for the gambler who can get the money from gambling and use gambling as their source of income, and that is not too many of them can do that. That will remind us that in the gambling games, we cannot make it for the source of income.

if they dont have work , i cant even imagine how can they play gambling ? if you dont have work you dont also have a money . no money is equals to no crypto , so what will you use as bets to play gambling ? gambling using faucets ? some sites have disabled thier faucet and most sites prevent faucet abusers so there is still no possible way to make good money without a capital   .  they are only lazy because they dont want to work or they dont want to apply for a job  . there are so many jobs available out there for a person that is really determined to work

But if you decide to make your living from it, you are doomed.

Really depends on your costs, people make the mistake of spending money they dont have too often.   Its a modern disease to get into debt and be happy with that, past generations just didnt have access to credit in the way the modern working person does and so it was never an option and they would have very low costs and provide for themselves not buy everything from others.    If someone is going to take an extreme way of earning money they are going to have to be a bit of a genius when it comes to managing money when its few and far between.    I used to live in a shared house where they would go fishing for dinner, no fish no dinner pretty much because they were waiting on work.    Its pretty rare nowadays but anyone hunting coins is going to catch a few rabbits at the same time most likely or something similar to get a regular meal.   Gambling as a profession also seems unlikely except to someone whose done it there whole life and is familiar with all the mistakes and previously paid for them all.   Somebody with an epic knowledge of sports betting is viable just rare as hell Im pretty sure, its not easy to beat the odds except maybe via hedging and thats not without risks.

There are professional Gambler and there are addicted gamblers. Most professional Gamblers bet on the skills, like a tennis player who bets on his/her game to be played by him. Some bet on other peoples game, like football, they spreadout their money to predict the winning team. For those who bet on their on skill, apart from the fact that they know their capacity with their opponent, they get better in the process and have their own success on their hand.some people are already rich and will also be paid for the game they bet on, but fix up money to attach the totality of themself into compulsory success

I don't think people who go home with nothing but stories of the casino after losing everything can be called professionals!
You need to make bank to be considered a professional gambler and as far as I know such people that make it out with a good pay cheque at the end of their games do exist and I have seen and read about them ,year in year out.

But if you count such lucky ones, it turns out that this is a very small percentage of the total number of players. I am not one of them. Although sometimes luck is on my side.

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.

Gambler professionals are not poor they have other businesses elsewhere. and doubling their money in a unique way and they believe they can double it. but if you risk all the money and only hope with luck I think it is not worth emulating and not the least that ends in losing everything.

[Ewox]

I think there are professional gamblers who live out of gambling but I’m not too sure though if that is the only job they have. I know a few people whom I think are professional gamblers but they do have businesses too aside from just gambling.

Typical thing on gambling industry where the ration would always be  losers is more than into those winners.This is why this industry is too big due to those players who do really wants to have some easy money and making their lives sustainable with gambling but majority of them being wrecked up.

Making a living with gambling doesnt necessary to have a side business.Anyone could do it but for those who do have enough financial support would most likely to have the edge or advantage than to those average ones.Professional gamblers do exist specially on sports betting and card games.

Well there's a lot of gamblers but not that profession. I saw a lot of gamblers and their profession is business man. Mostly gamblers do gambling just to keep away all their stress from their work but if that person makes gambling as a way of earning money and he or she do it everyday then its not for fun anymore it is now addiction and not profession

If that is the case, they only playing gambling without using gambling as their job. They have a jobs in out there and they consider to use gambling as a way to get fun like what we did. But I am sure that there are a professional gamblers who depends their life from gambling and they are making money from gambling too. But maybe we are difficult to find who are they because they don't want to show themselves as a pro gambler.

In my opinion, Gambling only to win and not for the fun will likely not cause addiction.


Cause of gambling Addiction = finding more pleasure in gambling? If gambling is fun than other things you do, you will most likely become addicted to it. There is also high tendency for sad people who find pleasure in gambling to become addicted.

So one of the best ways to help a gambling addict is to have him/her gradually replace his gambling addiction with more pleasurable and non addictive things. I believe gambling addiction can be treated within 1 o 2 months of doing this.

Not only we should stop after winning big (2x of your balance or more than that), and withdraw at least a good part of it, but we also should know when to stop when we are losing. To me personally this is much harder than to leave after winning. When I lose I often think, "One more game, I recover my losses and stop." And if I lose that game too, I want to start another one, and then one more, until I end up losing 3-4 times more than that what I lost initially. It's true that sometimes I recover my losses this way, but most of the time I only make things worse, so I think it's better to restrain myself from such actions. Professional gamblers are probably better at it than us, common gamblers.

if you believe gambling is about luck, then you shouldn't use gambling as your profession, I myself don't have special instruments to find out who are professional gamblers is, do they have a lot of experience or who have great luck? while a lot of experience doesn't really help you win in gambling. so professionals aren't very helpful at gambling #imo

Statement is true. There are people who live out of this, but for what cost.

Making money as a professional gambler is not easy. Some rules need to be followed, like need to be better than your opponents, minimise big losses and maximise gains. Also You need a good deal of practice in order to build the right level of skill needed to start off a gambling career (this may be tricky cuz it depends from type of game you want to be professional). Do not make the mistake of going all in and quitting your job until you start seeing consistent success with your gambling.

On top of this there are always good and bad sides of being professional gambler. Probably worst possible job this could be (from my perspective at least). But is this what someone wants. To be addicted to this, and to lose some not so good 9-5 or 8-4 day job, to be apart of your family. Dont think Im for this, and also think that many here are not for this as well.

If you are then you need to have control and self discipline, to choose online or offline gambling, many possibilities and many options on this.
