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

[Betwrong]

overall a pro poker player wins more games within a year(in percentage terms) than an average amateur poker player.

Well, this is what makes them profitable if they have the discipline to manage their funds effectively.
I am not a fan of poker but I know some people in our community who are always in a casino to gamble and play poker, maybe they are having success but I wish that's my interest too, I just love sports betting but that either is not something I can call a profession.

Yes, I forgot to mention that, without any doubt, sports betting is something that doesn't depend on luck entirely. In fact, since recently, I've started to think that the part that skills play in sports betting can be compared to that in poker, in the sense that they both pretty much depend on skills. Of course, we cannot exclude luck from the equation for both. It still plays a big part, and thus it's risky to choose either poker or sports betting as your profession, but we can't ignore the examples like Billy Walters and Daniel Negreanu, who have earned tens of millions of USD through sports betting and poker, respectively.

because card games are mostly easier to manage being expert,i have a friend that knows how to bring cards favors him specially when he was a banker(in local games)though this is not from casino yet still manageable by individuals,so yes they can do this as  profession and earn better.

but only if they know how to managed money because if not disciplined? for sure all will go to nothing

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)?

Yes, there is a professional gamblers because one of my cousin works in a gambling and he is a professional gambler as well , Its totally a double pay for him he makes money from the gambling and if he wants to bet on his own after the work . That's how he live but before that he use to play around their place where there are small time gambling house and he goes back home with his money won often times than losses . he also manage to have a good gambling plan to limit his losses and try coming back in the other day if he thinks that it is a very bad day or luck that said day.

This is reality id we want to gamble so we will have to make disciplined habits so that it will increase our earning in gambling. I think it’s much better if you choose the game you like instead of choosing a game that people are getting or gaming in, poker id good but don’t play it if you are not good a poker player just play when you totally clear about it only then you will get success same as other people.

you dont need to start playing gambling if your aim is to have a self control or discipline on the other term but you can always start to do it anytime or even now/today  . also , you dont need to follow if what others are playing just to fit in because you are only risking your capital to loose but instead only pick a gambling game that you have more knowledge or experience with because you can increase your chance of winning in that way no matter how old or unpopular the game was  .

Yes, it’s really important to choose a good game especially when you don’t have any other resources to get money. We will have to work with a profitable game that you are sure to win. Experience matters allot as new gamblers are not called the professionals as they play on risk, they can win but almost 80 percent on their luck but experienced and well-trained people can get huge profit from gambling easily so people should keep gambling but carefully.

Gambling cannot teach self-control at all. It is the other way, in order to survive through the harsh losses of gambling, one must be disciplined already. He must have a control our his emotions so that during the failures, he wont take steps like recovering the loss. Gambling just provokes the need of mastering one’s emotions for survival. Some achieve it others fail. Also, random things do not depend on skills or experience.

No and Yes for me.

Yes discipline is important when you are gambling because if you are a disciplined person, there is a higher chance for you to get out of the casino with profits. On the other hand, it is a no because being disciplined alone cannot increase your earnings in gambling. You must have other traits that can help you earn more if you really want to get big profits in gambling.

There is no such thing as professional gamblers since people have different luck and gamblers who played for a long period of time doesn't have much difference to a person who just started to gamble. Gambling is pure luck, skills are just the guide in order to execute the bets properly but it doesn't always work specially to the house edge. Even though your skills in placing bets develops, you can still lose just like beginners.

Agreed, gambling is all about luck. Here the experienced one wins and the newcomers will also win. The experience gained will serve as the key factor in knowing on which game to spend and helps in trying the tricks and cheats. Skills are part of gambling, and luck is the deciding factor of gambling. We can't say there isn't any professional gamblers, there are professionals but they too fail at times which is the reality of gambling.

That's right, people who don't believe that there are professional gamblers are people who does not believe its possible to make a living in gambling.
I also believe that there are people who are really making money although I also believe its almost impossible since most of the gamblers I know are just trying to make a living but they are really struggling and loses a lot of money in gambling, its like a dream job that there's a slim chance of getting successful.

Some would argue that blackjack/poker are non-luck gambling games.

No, I am sure there is a professional gambler, but only a few of them showing in public. I agree that every gambler has different luck, but that will depend on what game he played. We know that gambling is pure luck, but we can get those luck with some help from the skills, the knowledge that we have so we have a chance to win. Yes, we can still lose some money, but that is why we need to manage our money in gambling, so we don't have to lose much money.

Indeed there was some of people who can make living from gambling but as far i know currently most of professional gamblers commonly poker gamblers which is some of them can make living from it because they were became the champion on particular poker tournament and if i'm not mistaken the last world poker tournament winner belong to Hossein Ensan that he can able to won the prize with million dollar

There are a lot of moderate to professional player of gambling, most of them gamble as a profession because they are confident in playing with a lot of techniques and tricks learned from their experiences. They play because it is also a good source of income every game you win; there is also a substantial profit you can earn, but still, this is risky. However, to always be the master of every game, you need to have given time to study well every style and skills to make you a better player. You will meet a good player or a more significant player than you soon, it is better to be ready. Sometimes in online gambling has a disadvantage. You can't see their faces while playing gambling because one of the tricks in gambling, you must read your opponent's next move.

I'm jealous of them because gambling is truly for them and they have it with their luck and also with applied experience. It's true, it's like a dream job of others.

You don't have to work from 9am to 5pm but we all know how huge the risk is.

Surely luck matters in gambling as I know to become a good gambler you must have good luck that can make you win but to become a professional gambler only luck cannot make you win but you must have skills and you must have plenty of knowledge to win with the tricks and also you should have experience and guts to face risk of gambling.

It's a fact that there are people who make good money from gambling, but not everyone realizes that it's almost always a temporary thing. Luck can't be always on your side, and, sooner or later, average gambler will encounter a really long losing streak which will kill all his/her previous winnings. But since over a billion people gamble each year, statistically some of them can keep winning for a very long period of time, like 30 years or even longer. The likelihood of a coin landing on its edge is extremely small, but you'll definitely see several of such cases within millions of tries. But would you bet on that to happen with one try? I don't think so. But the chances of a coin landing on its edge are much higher than the chances of making gambling your profession and being successful with that for years.

yes,even though poker has its lucky elements is way more skill based game, I wouldn't consider it gambling, for sure.

You shouldn't be jealous of anyone who's winning big on gambling because unless that person takes serious therapies, he will sooner or later bust away his winnings again because the hook with gambling is very strong and never under estimate this addiction. It's seriously very dangerous and yeah, it will make you homeless from billionaire and you won't even notice.

Gambling is a multi-billion dollar business, the governments are running gambling casinos to fund their various projects, business corporations create cities for gambling and we all the know one president whose business is running casinos.

Gambling creates jobs and of course, there are professional gamblers who can make millions in one night along, these are high rollers who make a living as a professional gambler, they can do these because some of them are loan sharks who lend money to his fellow gamblers.

Some gamblers have developed a strategy of their own that they can employ to win in gambling, they may not always win every night, but they make sure their winnings compensate for their losses.

I think there are a lot of people who leave in gambling and earn a lot of profit in gambling but I think making this as a profession is not a good idea because as we all know in gambling we don't always win the bet or the game sometimes or a lot of time we could also lose a great amount of money so I don't think it is recommended to make it your profession. Thinking of this I think gambling your money sometimes could be good but gambling all of your money probably is not a good gamble probably it is will be worth it if you invest some in your passive income.

[marcotheminer]

Poker is the most gambling game there is. If you put 4 very skilful players against each other - their fate (mostly) lies in the shuffled deck order.

Even the professional gamblers are losing some money. Its just a matter on when they will stop (self control).

Professional gamblers (if there are) know when to stop and when to play. If they know that they aren't lucky at that time then they will stop and call it a day. Even the most skilled and the most experienced gamblers doesn't win all the time. For me, it will be a matter of if you are lucky or not
