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

[Oneandpure]

Ten years ago, I used to be a professional poker player, relying more on volume and rakeback than high limits. Nothing fancy, nothing TV alike, just boring grinding 8-10 hours a day.

8.10 Hours Playing gambling ? wow that's amazing ,I never even Knew that We can stay that Long even if i am winning.

Don't be surprised, many people spends 6-10 hours at gambling everyday. Last year, I was also spending that much time at online casino. Spending a lot of time doesn't mean that the user placing bets for whole day long. Some gambler stay active at chat always, it gives entertainment as well. I used to test different strategies for making up my balance and also having fun at chat. Nowadays I don't gamble like before and never took it as livelihood.

Though I have seen few gamblers at online casino who took gambling as profession. They always spend a lot of time at gambling sites, in the long run they makes profit by using different strategies. They are pro gambler with enough patience. Luck and patience is the key of their money making method by gambling.

Spending more than 6-10 hours at gambling everyday how much profit do you get? by the way if one hour after gambling you get jack pot and win more you will going on for gambling until six or ten hours too? maybe if you loss will going on for gambling but how come if you have success win more than thousand dollar keep continue for gambling or stopping and try next day. I want to know hoe characters of gambling mind and how they can manage with profit.

You can earn a living from gambling if you happen to know a trick to win the games you play more than 50% of the times, or if are a really good poker player for example that is almost unbeatable by casual players, in any other cases it's simply not possible to rely on what you make from gambling as any source of outcome.

If you have the right strategy or a good patterns to guide you up to keep havng a much higher percentage of winning than losing
in any event that you participate with your gambling activities, there are people who are capable those who have a huge expereinces
and have a good outlook with how they play and balance both emotions and bankroll managements.

If you don't fit into the above categories mentioned then it would be not a healthy mindset to in anyway think of gambling as anything more than just an entertainment.  

True! better to treat gambling as part of your enjoyment than aiming for benefits if you don't have the right skills and knowledge
in any gambling games that you are betting in.

But what you have mentioned is also not a healthy mindset.

Skills aren't enough as there will always a time that you will face a skilled gambler too. Not all the time you will win even you say your winning rate is high.

It's better that use those gambling earnings in setting up an investment or business. Find a trusted one to manage it if you can't do it while doing gambling at the same. At least, while taking the risk in gambling, there is a stable source of income.

I know some people who think the same, that they're skilled and lucky enough to live from gambling. But the truth is that there are only few in the world who can actually make for the living out of gambling and for a longer period of time. But this is very risky, stresful and uncertain way of live and of course there are always some that are better gamblers.
To my opinion it's not worth the risk but everyone chooses his own way.

That's definitely the reality, many have tried but only few are really successful in doing that, and this is the fun fact, those who are publicly saying they are making a living in gambling are those who aren't really making at all, real gamblers who are successful in making a living in gambling does not announce his success publicly as it's a secret mission for them.

There is a small timeframe between getting rich and poor in gambling especially for those who gamble more than 6-10 hours in a day. I don't agree with the arguments about keep playing for days in order to make a profit or chasing the jackpot, there are other profitable strategies which is modified by pro gamblers. Someone getting rich by applying the right techniques and money management while other gamblers keep feeding the pro gamblers and casinos. Just my 2 cents.

When someone playing for days without stopping for a while or taking a break, he will get another problem in his life, which he can become addicted because he can feel posses of how to make money from gambling. He will not realize that and will make him from having money to not have money in the future. The pro gamblers will know when he can play gambling and when he should stop gambling.

I agree with that.

Most of the casual gamblers and addicted gamblers kept on going in and out of casinos or gambling sites and usually brag about their wins. Most of those people that actually win are those hiding their wins and strategies from the public. We mostly know those gamblers when they join professional tournaments we can usually watch online or live.

Experienced dictates with the overall performances of each Pro-gamblers.

That kind of side effects are really possible if the gambler is not responsible with balancing his time and engagements, he will fall
to too much addictions and ended up empty handed instead of collecting good compensations.

After losing my job five months ago, I'm playing again. It's annoying and boring, but it's a way to put food on the table. Leaderboards and rakeback deals are giving me almost 100% of the rake back in PartyPoker and GGPoker. Crypto poker rooms don't have enough traffic for Spin and Goes.

How i wish you disclose your Gambling name so I may Follow your bets   First that I heard This good In gambling ,and it seems that you are not Just for Luck when Playing but the experience and skill i guess.

I'm multi-tabling Spins and Sit n Goes.
I'm 'playing gambling'. I'm playing poker. There are not bets to follow.

When you combine different promotions like:

https://ggpoker.co.uk/promotions/spin-gold-daily-leaderboard/

+ 50% rakeback + rake race + rake chase. If you can maintain the needed volume, you could end up with a 90%-120% rake back in your pocket.

In real life there are people who are making gambling as their professional work and also there are people who are making money by doing this. In live casinos there are so called casino gunners who are gunners that are playing in the casino by the means of your money, meaning you will give them your money and they will play it according to their preferences and the percentage of the winnings will be divided by the person who owns the money at the first place. What I am trying to say is that there are so many different jobs out there and yet there are also some hobbies that are becoming jobs in the real life.

That attracts many people to try to use gambling as a place to work to make money. They forgot that many things that they should have or learn before they can be a professional gambler. They attract because they see a professional gambler can make a lot of money from gambling. If people know how hard to struggle to become a professional gambler, I do not think that they will still try to be a pro gambler.

I was spending that much time but not placing bets all of the time. I have clearly said it in my previous reply. During the time, I was watching other people bets, talking with other gamblers at chat and placing bets in between with different strategies. Many other gambler also plays in this way. In gambling, there is no guarantee of making profit always. Whenever I made good profit or hit something like jackpot, I took a break for a while and started betting again on the same day.

You should visit and spend time at casino if you really wants to know about pro gamblers who live their life through gambling profit. And for your safety, just spend the time, don't gamble if you can't afford to loss.

That is true however even these kind of persons which I agree are the only ones making a living from gambling are susceptible to addiction to casinos although not as much as normal and casual gamblers.Here in this long going on topic we are trying to find normal people among us who are making a living from gambling and so far I don’t know anyone doing this.

I agree that many people forget to become professional gamblers is not easy, many things must be sacrificed. Most people are just inspired
by the few people who beat the casinos. Like Don Johnson, MIT Blackjack Team and Richard Marcus. Even though people who manage to beat
the casino need a lot of practice, and sometimes get into legal trouble for committing fraud. Since winning in the long run is impossible,
so some professional gamblers need to cheat a little. My advice is not to make gambling a profession, but make gambling as entertainment.

It's always depends on the gambler if they will make it as a real profession or just an entertainment for them. If you are very good on gambling why you will not make it as an real profession if you are earning well on it? Winning and earning money is the main reason why people are gambling so just make it an profession and do what you really want.

There are two possible ways in order to live out of gambling, one is quite sure to profit but the other one is risky. And to be exact, the risky part is being a gambler who will risk his funds to test his luck out of gambling everyday. That will be too hard to have an assurance that he will have enough funds to live but if he will acquire enough experience in betting strategies and having enough game knowledge, he will surely increase his odds of winning. Looking at the other way to live through gambling, it is when he works within the gambling industry, either to be employed and manage the casino or to try to create his own casino himself. In short, it is possible to live through gambling.

I guess focusing in sports betting is just the right thing to do, at least you can just stay at home, study the games and analyze it, very fit for the current set up under the covid-19 pandemic.

I would add playing poker to that; playing and, of course, studying how the best current pros are doing it. I'm watching channels like World Poker Tour, partypokerTV and PokerStars on a regular basis, and it works for me. It's really entertaining to learn something from the best, and then apply it in practice. But the keyword is "entertaining" here. I'm not planning to make my living from playing poker. Although I consider poker the most skill based game around, there's still too much luck involved to rely on it as a source of income.

It really depends on how you treat gambling or a certain game, if you don't like to venture on a higher risk, then treating it as an entertainment is more than enough to enjoy and be thrilled in gambling. Poker, yes it's a skilled based games but I think sports betting is easier.

Both, poker and sports betting require researching and learning, if you want to be successful in it. It depends on the person what is easier to them, and to me personally it is much easier, and, what is more important, much more enjoyable to watch top poker games on YouTube and learn from the pros how to play, than to research about injuries and disqualifications in order to be successful in sports betting.

But that's me. I realize that for some people watching those poker games may be as boring as for me researching about injuries and disqualifications, and sports betting suits better for these gamblers. I know that millions of people enjoying sports betting, and surely they have their reasons for that.

Yes, it is right. Many people who gamble and spend much time playing gambling can risk ending up empty handed. But they do not realize that and back to the place on the other days, just because they want to win that game. But that will not happen to the pro gamblers because they can control themselves while enjoying the games. We should follow their step to prevent losing money.

Most of those people that actually win are those hiding their wins and strategies from the public. We mostly know those gamblers when they join professional tournaments we can usually watch online or live.

That is why I don't believe in people here who are selling their secrets or exploits on the gambling sites where they claimed they are winning up to 100 Bitcoin, if they are really winning they need not sell their secret and just keep the secret and go on winning until they are filthy rich it just don't make sense.
