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

[Rebecca Nixon]

The most popular option for professional gamers are card games - poker is the most common field of activity. There are many different variations here: Texas Holdem has taken the lead in recent years. Professional players can specialize in one form, but many still master several variants. Blackjack and roulette have the disadvantage that the casino is not played against other players.

Professional gamers focus on games with skill and strategy. The simple assumption: if you are better than your direct opponent, you win and earn more money in the end - the other loses.

Another source of income for professional gamers is betting. Sports betting on results in football or horse racing can be very lucrative. A well thought-out betting and betting strategy is crucial. The high win rate may be tempting, but a professional gambler needs a balance between risk and security.

This is a long term job, if you already achieve consistency, you'll be able to enjoy being a professional sports bettor. They say that the chances of success is low, yes that's true because only few people are serious with sports betting, majority are does not have a proper planning and skills in sports betting.

it's very lucrative if you are already making yourself profitable as you can bet regularly even at the comfort of your own home.

It is so amazing that there are people who taking the risk for their living. I wish I have there determination in gambling.

Not many people want to risk their money in gambling, even though they are confident winning the gambling games. It is hard to accept the loss, but it will more pain if we lose big money from gambling. But from all of that, some people can prove to themselves and other people that they can live out of gambling, and they earn decent money to survive and buy their daily needs. But still, it is hard to use gambling as a main source of making money, so we do not have to try to do that.

Although some people have the courage to take risks and make gambling a source of money for their expenses but overall, they don't have progression over time, even living with everyday fears, worry about what games they will play tomorrow, worry about losing everything one day, sometimes if they have a little free time and look back on their past and their lives, they see only gaps and loneliness with gambling. There are many better jobs in this life that don't have to be so risky, do not let gambling break our youth and vitality

If you arent that confident or do live with fear when you do gamble then you are still on the state on where you dont
make gambling as a living since you dont have confidence to do so unlike into those who are really making some money
on some gambling games like sports betting or poker where someone could really be having some upperhand when it comes
to experience and skills then this is where people do start up on making it a a source of income.

I wish we will reach this goal in our life as a gambler, if not, we will continue to spend money in gambling and loss more, but if we think of it as an entertainment, then loses will become as an amount as our expenses just to have fun in gambling.

The reality is, only few has the skills to make real money from people who tried to make a living in gambling.

[l3pox]

It's still unbelievable for some people that it can't be a career. They only see the negative on it but don't recognize those gamblers who have made well on it.

Maybe a few in hundreds and thousands but it is undeniable that there are good stories that have lived it with gambling.

the world is just like that
some people will live in denial and won't accept that there are many ways to live life and that work doesn't have to be a burden or something that makes us feel unhappy, these people will deny different ways to live and sometimes even try to combat it.

sometimes facing reality is quite hard.

It's just unbelievable although it's already common to see professional gamblers living their lives the way they want it. They're even more earning from the minimum wage but, they could lose it within less than a day.

A very high risk kind of source and living but they like it because they can handle themselves.

not if you have an edge, I think the idea of living from gamble just make sense in this case, you can have an edge on poker buy developing skill (again: I don't even consider poker gambling, but example makes sense here).

otherwise, just relying on pure luck is a bit like playing russian roullete, but the other way around.

[Serious475]

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.

I think there are guys who are living to play gambling but I don't think there is a person who makes gambling his main source of income because it is nearly impossible since the probability of winning on any gambling is not a hundred percent sure. I know a lot of guys who live their life on gambling but they also have a job that can support their daily expenses and their investment before they gamble. Even me, I am gambling with a lot of money but I don't think I can live my life just gambling because it may affect a lot of things in my body. I am only gambling when I have extra money but if I don't have, I am not letting myself cut the food or other expenses just to gamble because I know that gambling is not a sure income and might kill all of my investment.

It is hard to reach our goal as a gambler because we already know that playing gambling is not a quick way to make money, and even we will lose that money in a fast time. If you have a goal in your life as a gambler, you need to remember that, and it is better to change your goal to other things, so you will have a chance to reach your goal.

The losses will be bigger if we don't realize, and even if we have skills in a specific gambling game, we still need to know that gambling will be lost and win, and we need to know how to be wise when playing gambling.

This is a real thing. Many have tried to make it as a living but it's not that everybody who tried became successful from doing it. A very risky source of income if you'll going to make from it. But it's not just about gambling on your own that you can source from making money out of it.
There are other things you can do like affiliate if you're too good at signing people into your ref link.

Affiliate marketing is really a considerable if you are really good on inviting people and this is much more worth of to spend up your time without needing to spend much money or shall we say
you would be needing to be tactful though or really good on convincing people.This is one of the way on where you can make out money with gambling but if we do talk literally
on playing gambling then this isnt really applicable for anybody and as said that lots have tried but majority of them do really failed to do so.
Only a few would succeed and only except to those who are really good on strategic kind of games.

There's still possibilities that a person find ways to live a life around his/her gambling activities.

There are wise/smart gamblers who manage to enjoy the luxury of finding a good system to keep them in positive or lessent the chance of burning out their capital, people who do manage to quit while they've got some decent earnings or stay away when the loses already fills their targets.

The use of affiliate programs as a source of income is basically not for the long term. Well, you managed to bring in a few or maybe a lot of people but in the end they won't keep gambling and most of them just try for a while and then leave. So still, the program that I experienced was not for the long term even for the short term it was not really profitable. Therefore, it is not right for gambling to become a profession and even though you are a skilled gambler you basically need a steady income outside of gambling.

[Oshosondy]

Perhaps, some people live from gambling, but I am not sure about the number of them. I am sure that there are professional gamblers who are playing gambling and make money from gambling. But I think they don't expose who they are especially for people who can make a thousand dollars from gambling. That is difficult to become a professional gambler because we need to master the games. We need to have much experience in the games, and that will need a long time before we can be a professional gambler.

You can like sport betting and know how to analyse, you can play dice and believe in luck and still think you are professional enough but not, you can try other ways of gambling like playing poker and win today thinking you are a professional, but if today is good, that does not mean tomorrow can be. There are many people that will just think that way and depends only on gambling, these kind of people will have money today and leave poor later. They may later have issue with their wife leaving them and their life becoming miserable. Any good gambler you see out there only depend on luck, they were just lucky to hit the jackpot. Nothing like professional gamblers, the more people see it as profession, the more they lose. But the more someone see it as fun, using low amount of money to for it, there can be a day he will win jackpot. Many people will gamble but out of 100, less than one will be the ones that truly make it from gambling actually, and that because they do not see gambling reliable but as luck.

yes, there are people who makes tons of money by affiliate marketing in crypto and other areas like infoproducts.

PLR licensing is another good way to make money online for those who are starting and dont have other more profitable skills yet.

though this is really different than gambling, maybe it lacks the risk and adrenaline that comes with betting on an unknown outcome that some may be seeking... don't know...

I wonder if there's a gambling/betting analyst job, and google directed me to this link:

most of them for sports betting analyst.
I also found this https://www.betting-analyst.com/
Some are just predictions subscription, but there's also a data analyst to collect data from user's behaviors on their platform.

Making stories that will make the readers sign up is one of the skills needed. Because you just can't say to the people that they should sign up under you. That's not interesting and might be rude for those people that you'll invite to sign. I wonder if someone from the forum is still making good sources from it. In 2017, I've seen people who are making a good amount of money from it. It's not an actual gambling activity but it's under it and other services are also having this type of incentive through exchanges and crowd fundings.

why gambling/betting analysis is a fraud because they are not a gambler for sure, most of them only sell consulting services instead of providing input based on personal experience.  There has been an incident around my city where a gambling/betting analyst was arrested by the police for misleading customers and making many of his customers lose. 

gambling with your own experience and knowledge is still the best even though losing at least it is the result of your own decision and not the result of others.

Actually it depends on the person or the analyst. Would you get a personal analyst that you didn't know and doesn't have any reputation or some feedbacks from others? No right? The person is also responsible to whom he will choose to. I think not all of them are fraud, but I believe some of them exist. I don't think any people would risk into someone without making some research in backgrounds. But I also believe that in gambling, the best profit and earning is experience. You will know that you learn if you experienced to lose and to have some ups and downs in your life as a gambler. Be sure to be responsible in you acts, bets and money.

Once you enter gambling you are not sure about what is the result  if you are gonna win or not. Maybe to those people who are capable of earning money are not everyday win but if they total or compute their total winning every weeks they have a good profit but it is a not a right job for us if you are regular player don't do that because high chances it will not works.

Being a professional gambler, you don't just rely on the league prizes because you're already professionals and already representing some brands. For sure, those professional gamblers already having many promotions where they can earn more money not just in gambling. Technically, if you become a pro, more opportunities will come and you'll not just rely on profit from gambling. So I don't really think that gambling every day is almost similar to pro-gambling because it's still at a different level and casual gambling CAN'T be considered a real job.

So I don't really think that gambling every day is almost similar to pro-gambling because it's still at a different level and casual gambling CAN'T be considered a real job.

Basically, the more often people bet, the greater the chance of winning and also the increase in the number of losse. Someone who would be said to be a professional gambler is someone who relies heavily on his skill and expertise in gambling, has a mental and style. But all of that will still depend on luck. I just assume that all gambler who are able to control their emotion and manage their finance in gambling will be called professional gambler.
