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

[ReiMomo]

Learn a decent profession, make good money with it, and gamble at your leisure, when it suits you, and maybe, even knowing little about a game, you will win big one day, because luck is the main factor in gambling, not your knowledge.

Well, I think not all forms of gamblings are based on luck. There are few gambling sites based on skills or let say 50-50 percentage luck and skills. I think poker, I won't consider this that only based on luck. Yes, gambling is a kind of profession there are gamblers who are the habit is always to gamble even they had a family to feed but still, they can provide. I don't know if this kind of profession will long last or it will make your life become miserable.

But, by the way, to be honest, I've also experienced in a month never won even once, and of course I have to think about earning money outside of gambling.

So you know that gambling cannot be a source of income because you have experienced not making money in a month. But perhaps, that will depend on the game you've played because if you have skill in poker or sports betting, I guess that you can make money, but the amount will vary from day by day. Still, in the gambling game, you must have the luck to win and make money. It is better to have another job that can give us money than to try to make money from gambling because the chance will be small.

Indeed its not a reliable way to earn decent money or to even grow your capital because its very risky. Only few gamblers can make gambling as their profession because they have the ability, strategy and knowledge to do it. It might impossible to think it can be a person's way to earn or to sustain their daily needs but there are really people who are relying in gambling. Nevertheless if you're aware that you cant make money through it then better change your treatment to gambling as a way to entertain yourself or as pastime.

Nevertheless, many gamblers still trying to use gambling as a profession because they dreamed that if they can master one gambling game, they will have a chance to make money. It's a pity because they cannot even learn some lesson to become a pro because they need more than a lesson. But that is not impossible, but it is hard to earn money to fills their daily needs from gambling. I hope one day, I can meet someone who uses gambling as a way and a source to make money so I can know what he/she/they do.

Agreed. Not all games are based on luck there are still who needs a skills and strategy. Poker is the game that could classify as not entirely based on luck and I knew that there are people who used to earn profit through out of it and they can classify as professional gamblers.

I've seen a lot of poker tournament and there are popular poker player in the world that really makes money in this game.
They are not just lucky but they have the skills to make them win consistently, however, there is no guarantee also that you will always have a winning moment, there are moments that you are in a losing streak, and therefore you need to employ the strategy to minimize the risk.

if I am just good in poker, I would still learn how to diversify my investment because relying on poker alone might not be sustainable in the long run.

I'm pretty sure these professional poker players don't rely exclusively on their poker careers. These people earn money probably on certain occassions where they get sponsors for tournaments. Aside from what they get from simply showing up. That's why the bigger your name in poker, the bigger money comes in. These people bank on their names and reputation that they've build up through time. Though I believe gambling is just another means for them to make money. It can't be a bread and butter thing.

oh really ? well thats cool . they can be a good influence to those who are going to enter and for those who are already an existing gambler .  whats good is that playing poker is only thier sideline ( allocate small  time and enjoy ) but at the same time they earn huge more than the average gamblers that we see these days  . so many people are wanted to be like them but its not easy of course  . we need to develop such skills and proper luck management to get notice and get sponsored by other bigger names  on this industry  .

I think I live from gambling. There was a time when gambling became a source of my income, hmmm and though sometimes there was a time when I got money outside gambling to buy food and drinks and sleep. Well, if the percentage of my life from gambling is around 65% and the remaining 35% gets money from outside the gambling area.
I am not a professional who always gets profit every time playing gambling, but I feel my soul comes from gambling lol.
so it's very possible if there is someone who is serious about his life from gambling.

I agree with that some are live in gambling  they make it source of income. If they get a profit they will stop and back again tomorrow. So you are a gambler sir and i maybe gambling is your one source  of income. Maybe you have a skill and good strategy so that you get a good profit.

I have watched on the news before that husband and wife got addicted to the casino, then they won millions of money and buy what they want, they've got rich and the wife stops to play gambling while husband continues to play and thinking that he will make another million. But slowly he loses his money and got a lot of debt. He also thinks to sell their house but luckily he think wise about his property and think of his family, so they still have their house but already have nothing. They can start over again but maybe not already in the casino anymore.

We don't have to follow their steps to play more gambling games. It is enough to hit the jackpot once in a lifetime, and we need to stay away from gambling because, as we saw with that person, he loses his money and has a lot of debt. Imagine those things happen to us and how we can pay the debt without any money we have. If I were him, I would make sure to stop playing gambling and never think of playing gambling again because I can hit the jackpot because of luck. Besides that, he has a big greed to earn more money from gambling, and he hopes that he can hit the jackpot again, but unfortunately, the luck did not come to him.

But I also watch a lot of poker related videos on YouTube, and from those videos I've learned that even the professional poker players, who are considered the best in the world, lose pretty frequently because of bad luck. That's why I wouldn't recommend this occupation as a profession to anyone, luck is too much of a factor in it.

If you are intended to spend a lot of time on learning a profession, please choose anything but gambling as the subject of your study. Indeed, you can succeed in many fields devoting your time and efforts to the process of learning, but gambling is probably the last thing you should consider as your potential profession. I can't imagine where else so many things depend on luck rather than on your skills.

I believe that if you want to be a professional one, you must have to use your pure skills on a certain profession.  You need to learn anything that can help you to become a professional one. Like traders, engineers, doctors etc. They spent a lot of time learning different skills that can help them to become a professional one. In gambling, you don't need to have skills to be a gambler. Just go there if you have spare (or even not spare) money and gamble. I don't consider it as a profession for me.

I could even expand your thought further

The sheer amount of luck involved in this activity (or any other such activity) that no amount of skill or expertise can offset or balance out reveals the insightful truth about choosing one's life occupation (let's call it one's true calling). In simple and mundane terms, you should pursue only those career paths that ring true to your inner self, and resonate well with your natural propensities and inclinations. If this happens to be poker, then go for it

A gambler should understand these are the basic techniques while gambling, luck is the most important factor which we should control our emotions. Even I have gone through many YouTube video's which most of the people are giving their experience towards gambling. Even I will not recommend gambling to anyone.

If you consider gambling as fun to wage some amount for a limited period of time and not focused on the amount you are going to win then there is no harm in it but once you consider making a profit through gambling that is what fucks you up and your bank balance and you cannot recommend gambling to anyone, if you are a good poker player then you can try that but the rest are just luck.

The issue of the majority is despite of their gap in losses with their idols, they tend to continue the fight risking it all even though they are completely aware of the situation that they don't stand a chance against gambling. Their mindset is a boulder of their own who destroys the, their mind is so tough to be penetrated by words of discouragement (in a good way) for them to realized how bad they are in gambling.

It's good to have visions to your goals (to have plenty of money) or being successful, but, diving too much into the mud will make you suffocate and could kill you, so dive into your own water always for clearer vision to what you wanted.

Indeed, most of them have realized that their situation is not good but they always think about luck and they think that "this time must be lucky" and it is always thought until their money runs out. Especially when they gamble followed by a high emotional state, surely it is a supporter of their head violence.

Even though they have a good vision in gambling and always determine the limits of their gambling, sometimes there are still such thoughts and emotions.

I can think of one valid answer to this question which would be people paid to play on tables in order to encourage others to play.    That would be they are playing to raise business and activity especially on new sites I've seen that done many times.   Or its well known that many times famous people on youtube or other video sites have been playing on gambling sites but actually paid to be there by the site in order that the viewers would then be more likely to favour that site themselves when gambling after watching the show.
   I dont know if thats always a legitimate thing because promotion should be disclosed and quite often now it is, but definitely in the past nobody would mention they were participating on a promotional basis rather then purely their own choice.

Many people tried to take this opportunity and consider lifetime work but only a few of them survive. It may be because we have differences in life and might to say that some of those who try aren't preferred enough for the possible results. For to know that gambling is not all about luck but also it needs skills, strategy, and smart thinking. If we could adopt this environment, it simply means that we are about to succeed in gambling and live this opportunity.

Everyone of us has the opportunity to consider gambling as our profession or make a living out of it.
However, like you said, the success is only possible to few people who really have the skills to survive in this long and challenging journey.

Since winning in gambling is possible and its proven that there are some people who really had the success, trying is not bad as long as we always put a limit where we should stop if we keep trying and losing at the same time.

I just found out if this really happened and it would indeed be very possible for gambling sites that don't have a lot of funds to do promotions like that, but would it be more suspicious if they told the truth because it would be better to do promotions with money that could be spent, although not in the category of large-scale promotions but at least they have made a real promotion to increase the popularity of the site and it's much better. Anyway, making gambling a profession is still possible but not everyone is able to do it because the developer and the team are different from someone who is really a gambling player.
