Be a professional gambler on your own way.

[danshan11]

you have to know if you actually have an edge. The only way to do that is with CLV.  I would not recommend considering betting as a profession until you can achieve +EV on a regular basis.

It matters if you are born with a natural leaning toward something, but nothing can probably beat perseverance and determination

Those can play an ugly trick on you

Say, you persevere in and are determined for something which you are not naturally gifted with (like being short and trying to become a world-class basketball player). Then you will only be wasting your time and effort. Put differently, blind perseverance and determination can easily turn into an exercise in stupidity and futility. You should always practice "situational awareness", so to speak, i.e. how well something fits you and how well you fit in

While practice made it perfect yet being a gifted in such way is indeed,because even those who practice constantly still not reaching the top of their career because they have no gift of being that great.

You made Basketball as example but why there are very few players like Micheal Jordan and Kobe Bryant? because they are gifted and thats it.

you need to ensure that you'll put some limit, it is not right to continue risking and losing money if you are not seeing any improvement.
When you are into gambling and you fee you are professional, you are not relying on lucky, you feel what you are doing is like investing and like in real life when we are into business we take the risk but we honestly evaluate if the business we are venturing is making us profitable or not.

Hard Work Beats Talent , you don't believe on that, don't you?

See you don't need to be a professional gambler , you have to be a smart gambler .

Take into account your positive and negative outcome, prize , losses .

You need to try and keep track of your winnings and losses. .. don't just go in and get addicted. This will be very bad for you , for the long term.

I do think you should even use a little bit of mathematics to try and find out in which game your chances of winning are high.

That depends on how you see it, if your job is gambling or your main source of income is gambling, then it's nice to call yourself a professional gambler as that will eventually become your profession.

you'll need to do and have that if you are a professional gambler, all you do properly calculated to determine your chances and make a decision only when you think you have a good chance of winning.

I do think you should even use a little bit of mathematics to try and find out in which game your chances of winning are high.

you do, because when you are gambling, it's all about how to analyze a certain situation and make a timely decision which would usually result to a win.

I was thinking, what is your basis to be called a professional gambler? For me being a professional gambler is being successful in life because of the gambling, that's it, gambling could be the reason for you to become successful in life and that is why you have called as a professional gambler

The superstition is quite funny, I am once thinking that way before, when I saw numbers for many times when I am going in the casino then I will bet for it. I am thinking that it was my lucky number at that time  , I think some people also think that way, LOL.

In my view, I only divide gamblers to be 2 classifications: experienced and inexperienced gamblers. There is no professional gambler as it is not a kind of job career.

Actually the word professional is not only associated with the word career, some people who are experts in doing something can be called a professional, professional killer? There is no career as a killer but they are called professionals.

How come there's no professional on gambling scene there are people make this as a career and you can read on this article about professional gamblers and what they do https://www.888casino.com/blog/casino-tips/professional-gambler.

And you can also read here the 6 type of gamblers maybe you can define by reading this article on what kind of gamblers are you https://www.healthyplace.com/addictions/gambling-addiction/types-of-gamblers-compulsive-gamblers-and-more

There are also professional poker players which we can see being televised by national television and by this we can really see that professionals in gambling industry exist.

There are some people who are dreaming to become a professional gambler like Don Johnson who won $15.2 million playing blackjack, when asked to explain what his secret was, Johnson smiled and then he explained he needed only two things to beat the house: good skills and a plan. Having skills in every battle would be a great advantage but it won't work if you do not plan something, so it is a matter of combination between skills and plans.

Every successful professional gamblers treat gambling as a sport and like disciplined athletes, they don't let their emotions get the better of them. There will be bets you win and bets you lose. If you let the excitement or sadness get to you, you will end up making bad gambling decisions.

If you are going to ask any professional gamblers how do they survive at the tables. No matter how good you are, they will tell you this: it's inevitable that you will have a bad string of results Ir even a bad year so we should always accept that we can lose the game.

Gambling facts:
There are some gamblers who believe in superstition. Every time you watch or read something about gambling, the hero of the story goes on a winning streak as soon they bet on their lucky number, or keep a lucky clover close to their heart. If you think these things work, don't gamble. As you can read on this article that explains how to win at Blackjack every time you play, superstition has nothing to do with your success rate at the table.

I am happy the way I am playing now. I intend to gamble for entertainment and not for making money. I play because I love the excitement and the urge to win.

Whatever my skills are I am happy with it and I donot want to break my head for a game or two.

I assume we all have a working brain, sufficient amount of common sense, and enough awareness

But apart from that, you should also use them accordingly

Ironically, it is mostly through luck that you find your "natural leaning toward something", not through the things you mentioned. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a thing as mid-life crisis at 40 something. People go to college to get a degree and start on a career only to understand in a decade or two later that this is not what they ever wanted. So much for a working brain, common sense and awareness

You do not expect a fish to dream of playing with the birds in the sky. A blind man can dream all he wants but that won't include him joining the professional baseball league as a pitcher. You know what I'm talking about?

In real life, though, there are fifty million shades of gray

[South Park]

You either play it for entertainment purposes or leave it. According to my belief, there can't be any such ^professional^ gambler but disciplined, responsible gambler. A responsible gambler knows his responsibilities for the society he lives in, for his family, for his kids, for his wife, etc. One who has patience will never let his emotions drown him as he knows when to stop and when to start back. Learn patience and stop if you've won a significant amount of money, that's the only mantra to be in profits for a long time.

There are professional gamblers out there as difficult as it may seem to believe, while there are games that are completely based on luck and as such it is impossible to earn profits from them over the long term due to the house edge, there are certain games in which you can apply a strategy and be profitable over the long term even when you consider the house edge, however it is not easy at all to become a professional gambler and anyone that is considering gambling as a profession should probably think about it twice before actually trying to follow that path.

We can find one successful person who followed this strategy but there are millions out there who failed while following the same so never try to be a professional gambler at all, enjoy the gambling experience and level everything there when you get out from the site or physical casino then just lead your normal life.

Of course! You can have all the plans and strategies in the world and the best attitude ever and still fail. These do help but don't make you a winner.

OP mentioned superstition. That doesn't help for sure. THe only good thing it can do is give you confidence but confidence is a double edged sword. It can be good or bad depending on the situation. Luck isn't a measurable thing so I won't even talk about it.

*I think he will delete this thread ASAP like his old thread

Nice caught!
Literally speaking, he can't delete this thread. Maybe he may put this in archive.

Out of all replies, this one caught my attention. Though OP for me have a good intention in putting up this discussion. He should not make plagiarised content. To prevent, he should quote or give some citation about those copied content.

If he continuously doing this, probably he might be banned in this forum.

We don't have the same luck. You may have the chance to win thousand times but others hasn't luck. The best way to be a professional gambler is to play in moderation. Play what you want to lose and don't make it as your livelihood. If there is few chance to win, don't lose all your funds right out there. Remember gambling is made not to please players but to pissed off players.

Actually, there's nothing wrong in trying to be someone that you like but be sure you have the right plan and strategy just like what Don Johnson said. Of course there are millions are already failing to be a professional gambler because the chances are too slim for us average gamblers and the fact that it has destroyed someone's life because of pushing their limits. We can't be Don Johnson but at least we try—just don't push yourself too much if you know you can't beat the house.

It would be just more better if we dont set those kind of specific goals like hitting jackpot or making yourself rich with gambling.Why? this would just trigger out desperation and in case you do lost then you would pursue
that you should take it back to break even and proceed to your goal.It is always better not to mind everything specially to get rich with gambling, just play and enjoy on what you are doing since you do play
for the sake of entertainment and winning is really just a bonus if your lucky enough and since it do shows that Blackjack is the main topic in op then this do particularly mixed up with some skills
and not all would really be having that.

I'm not sure I understand your point

However, I wouldn't call either Micheal Jordan or Kobe Bryant short with their listed heights of 1.98 m (I checked, yeah). Well, maybe they are not the tallest basketball players on the planet, but I doubt they would be able to accomplish their feats if they were just like ordinary men in height. But don't make an obvious logical fallacy of assuming that just being tall enough guarantees your success as a basketball player (which you seem to be doing anyway). Being tall is only one of the gifts you have to possess, necessary but definitely not sufficient

~~ snp ~~

Your statement seems inconsistent, mate!!
If you know you can't be Don Johnson why you still force yourself to do his way?
Even if you have the same plan or strategy and you do them properly, it is hard to have the same result.
In my view, it is better to not dream be another person, just gamble in your own way and set target realistically.

But, still you get my point, right?
All I'm saying is just try at least but if you can't beat the house then stop, you might find yourself chasing losses in the long run. And for us average, I mean average gamblers who can't compete with the price they bet as a professional gamblers is enough reason already to stop thinking we can be like Don Johnson. I hope you get my point there.

[Assface16678]

Many people want to play gambling and one of the first struggles into the world of gambling, if you are a beginner, is the strategy and the technique you will use because most of the people already gained the strategy that is suitable for them and as a beginner it's not bad if you are trying to adopt their kind of gambling games because by that you can learn how do they make more money and by that you are slowly developing your own strategy too which is good. In gambling, it is better if you will focus in a game that is you like and it is easier to you to master avoid playing too much game and you try all of those it is looks like you are wasting your time and money which is not good as a gambler your goal is to make more earning not to lose too much money. Still, it depend on you how you will win every situation sometimes having too much experience makes you stronger.

There is no guarantee that you will become successful gambler.just because you follow some strategy. Even successful professional gamblers, and they are very rare, don't have a receipe that works for everyone.
Many tried and failed to make for their living just on gambling, this is not an easy job.
Everyone of us is unique, even in gambling so you need to have your own ways and to my opinion gambling at first place should be fun.
