Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income

[Wiwo]

You can't rely on a game of chance as your main or major source of income. This is the worst decision you would make. I would understand it if you were talking about games where skills may give you some advantage, like poker and other card games. However, even if you have the required skills and master the game, you should never make it your main source of income because the results will not please you.

Yeah I gambling winning os by chance, and because of that making it steaactivityies will only lead you to more losses just like you have stated,  relying on gambling as a major source of income is gonna be as if a man seat on a loaded gun any mistake it will blow him up.
That is how it is with gambling and since online gambling has added the possibility of constant contact with the casino, making gambling a source then means it will become an automatic .approach to easislidelid into addiction because when the loss happens the player will have all the access to the casino and he will try to recover the money back and that won't help either.

There is a condition where our thoughts only focus on winning when we lose in the hope that it can make us recover from the previous loss.
That thought will always be there but actually it is a mistake because thinking like that is the same as we will change our gambling patterns to become more aggressive and forget the limits we have made before.
Gambling like that will not get any results apart from a bigger defeat because in this case all we are after is victory but do not realise that it is a trap that will make you forget what your previous gambling intentions were for.

On the time that you would really be ending up on having this kind of approach in gambling then it would really be making you desperate on which you would really be always hoping that you could really be able to

make money without already minding about those possibility of losing money. You wouldn't really care on how many times you do lose as long you do make some winning which it would really be wiping out that kind of stress and anxiety when losing and on the time if this happens then you wont really be stopping midway and would continue to play as long you do have funds or money on your pocket which it is really a common behavior and you would really be ending up on a disaster if you cant really be able to stop midway.

Gambling isnt for source of income and this is the main thing on which people would really be needing to realize because if not then you would really be finding this to be a big trouble or problem.
You would really be making yourself that easily get addicted to it on which it is something that you should really be avoiding.

So from this, self-control is very important in order to minimise even if it cannot be avoided because there must be a condition where you violate it but with self-control at least it can be slightly minimised so that it does not always happen.
Gambling must be in a calm condition both in treatment and thought so that when we still follow our passions just because we are kalha then indirectly this will push you to the brink.
The need to think further so that nothing like this happens is something good, at least if you lose a few times it indicates you should immediately rest instead of continuing with lust.

Returning to the context of gambling as the main source of this is also not really a good intention.
This is not a job that should be used as the main source of money so don't try to do something that is not really possible.

Consistent winning is not at all possible with gambling. Even the expert who doesn't care about the wagering amount fails, people use different tricks and strategies. These things doesn't work all the time. For this we need to be lucky and even the luckiest to win big jackpot losses. This is how the platforms were developed, if not within short time period these gambling houses would've gone bankrupt.

If we talk about luck-based games, obviously there's no such thing as expecting consistent wins here since everything depends on just luck, that's it. However, if we talk about sports betting, somehow a bettor doesn't need to rely only on luck as there are ways to increase the chances of winning here.

But there's a friend of mine that takes gambling as his main source of income for several years already. Not with playing slots, roulette, etc., or being a sports bettor but he's really damn good at playing billiards. Even way back during our younger days, he is seen as having potential at that sport and is currently, now one of the most skilled and popular billiard players here in our community. He always has a match every day and it involves a big stake. Playing gambling on that sport for many years, he already provided a good life for his family.

However, my friend's success in gambling as his major income is not surely possible for anyone. It's possible to take gambling as a major income but surely, it requires special considerations that would be hard to achieve by most people who are eyeing that goal.

However, even if you have the required skills and master the game, you should never make it your main source of income because the results will not please you.

Even if the gambler has the related skills, I doubt anyone can win the same game with consistent winnings. I haven't seen such a gambler, there isn't a concrete proven track record. Card games and poker are based on skills&luck but no one is going to win all games by being lucky consistently, IMO. Mastering the game is the myth and gamblers not going to beat house edge, IMO.

It's not possible to always win since losing is inevitable. No matter how good you are in the particular game (even skills and strategy have something to do in order to win). But as we know, there's a situation where you can become rich instantly and that is if you hit a jackpot that can change your life for good. It happened already to those lucky gamblers who made fortune through gambling. Though, this is a different thing.

Anyway, it's not easy to win so what more if your desire is to treat gambling as your source of income? What can happen is, instead of gaining from your gambling activity, you'll only lose your money because of it. So try to find a decent job or use your passion to build a business. That's more realistic to be your main source of income.

What online gambling does is that it makes people lazy once they get addicted to it, people start thinking that they don't need to do any job and they can make some money each week from gambling by sitting in the comfort of their homes without any stress of any job or earning at all, these are the kind of people who can barely make their lives better in the future and are mostly dependent on others to feed them and their family out of misery.

And, such people never learn from their mistakes, they might regret doing something for a very short period of time, but after some time, they will start doing that again, especially if it's about gambling, they might lose a lot of money and morn for a while but start gambling again and forget what happened earlier.

They are wrong if they think that way because gambling is not to make money and they should find other ways to make money. They will only get frustrated when they lose so many times that they have to change their mind to find a job to make money.

Hopefully, these people can open themselves up to accept suggestions from those closest to them so that they can begin to realize that what they have been doing is wrong. And hopefully, they will regret it and won't do it again. Even so, they can still play gambling but must have good self-control so they don't experience the same incident as before.

It is not easy to gamble with discipline, and not everyone can do that because greed takes over and people simply forget that they have to follow discipline and have self-control, they just keep gambling until they have time and money and don't know when to stop even if they have managed to win a significant amount. That is why some people will never understand, even if they do, they just can't control the urge and will do the same again.

So only a few people can have discipline when gambling and control themselves and their minds and urges when they try to force them to gamble when they shouldn't, gambling normally is okay but excessive gambling is definitely not good for anyone because that makes you addicted.

As much as we discuss the negative side of making gambling a major source of income, let's atleast, once in a while also discuss the positive side, even though it's understood that a gambler can hardly win in such context, as in the long term win chances is very low, no matter how low the percentage is, it's still worth discussing, as I personally believe that, even though it be very rare, there are very lucky individuals who have depended on gambling for several years and a major means of income, and it's been working for them, I can't mention anyone cus I know no one, but I believe there are few persons out there that are gift with such good luck that is extra ordinary.

Gambling is gambling even how good you are there are still situation that you will lose, and I follow you with your example about those who manage to win a huge amount of money by hitting the jackpot, people who already change their lifestyle because of that opportunity, but that's not the majority and if we will based it from the fact, it's more on losing side, more gambler losses against the house and that's proven since we keep seeing more and more gambling business that are starting to facilitate from time to time.

Better to find a stable job and keep yourself busy, than spend your time and your money in trying to make gambling as a main source of your income.

it's not impossible that someone can make a good living from betting but not everyone is lucky to be able to do that, apart from billiard players, poker and chess players who are reliable around my area can buy cars only from the bets they make, it's all because of the skills they have support them to make good money.  but increasing age can make concentration decrease, so that the ability to maintain focus on games that are mastered also decreases, if so then skill-based gamblers will lose to young players, you can say income from gambling will not last long-term.

I have to agree, there are no such people who are lucky consistently on modern online casino platforms. It is possible to be lucky for months but the house always wins sooner or later. If we apply this logic, there is no working strategy or trick to beat house edge even if the gambler has a specific bias on the games.

Some gamblers are born lucky, they don't need skills to beat the game logic and win money. Online casinos let us to experience this feeling, so everything is just a part of the path to the success for both party gamblers, IMO.

Thats the hard reality. Maybe you can be successful for a month, but the house is going to be the winner someday. This is how it works, and when we try to make an earning out of it we should be ready to accept loss. I managed to make my previous week's payment of around 0.0018BTC to 0.005BTC and what happened at the end. I lost everything losing control when I don't had a winning streak.

True, after all there is the thing called the law of average which can balance things so if a person keeps on winning, it is obvious that he will lose one day especially when he is playing a chance base gambling games.  Worst there is also this house edge that can boost the possibility of losing.  So if someone is thinking that playing in a casino is a good source of income, then I suggest that we think again and try to research and look for articles on how people suffered huge losses when they chase winning to profit in a casino.

House do always win and this is the sad truth and this is something that you should really be that avoiding on having that kind of perception or beliefs that you could really be able to take advantage when it comes to

on making it as your major income.It cant really be that possible even if we do speak about those strategic based games like sports betting and card games which it doesnt assure that you would really be profiting every single day on which there would really be a time that you would be losing tons and considering that we are having a daily living and then you do solely depending on your winnings on what you do it, then you are really that putting yourself on great risks.How much more if you do have a family to feed? You cant really be able to make gambling as your main source of income.

Why cant people just realize to themselves that  gambling is really just that for fun? Why they wont really be that trying out to figure for themselves about having that realistic approach towards it?

Yeah I gambling winning os by chance, and because of that making it steaactivityies will only lead you to more losses just like you have stated,  relying on gambling as a major source of income is gonna be as if a man seat on a loaded gun any mistake it will blow him up.
That is how it is with gambling and since online gambling has added the possibility of constant contact with the casino, making gambling a source then means it will become an automatic .approach to easislidelid into addiction because when the loss happens the player will have all the access to the casino and he will try to recover the money back and that won't help either.

It is true that seeing gambling as a major source of income is bad and it can be a dangerous approach to our earning because what if things do not work out the way it was before, what will be the person's fate? The truth is bitter and sometimes we need to understand that everything is not as rosy to others the ways things are to us.

There are people who do not have a job and the only option they are left with is to gamble and earn there daily living on it. Not everybody will choose the option to have gambling as the only source of income but life circumstances have made up to be very less decisive in some certain areas where we supposed to made a concrete decisions about our financial life.

If everybody have a good job and earn well, I don't think there will be high numbers of gamblers in the world because the major reasons why some persons go into gambling is to support there financial lifestyle and earn good profits from it.
 Life is somehow confusing and sometimes we tend to talk anyhow because we don't even know what people are passing through and what there current conditions are. We don't need to judge a book by it cover because we think things are not supposed to work in that manner. Let's keep doing what we are doing especially legal things that are paying our bills, putting foods on our tables.

But actually there is no law of balance contained in gambling because if we really look at the statistics of the game so far it is precisely the losses that have a greater percentage than the wins.
It's true that the house edge can make it more difficult for gamblers to have a win on a regular basis and certainly no gambler can beat the house edge where the desire to make gambling their main income is just nonsense.

[blockman]

Why cant people just realize to themselves that  gambling is really just that for fun?

You'll go back again to those reasons that it's for the sake of having money and others, while there's an opportunity. That's why everyone is having fun, you can't remove that thought of what if they make money from it until they try and have a bad ending.

Why they wont really be that trying out to figure for themselves about having that realistic approach towards it?

They know the reality and we're all free to express and do whatever we want. And that's why even if you tell it for a hundred times, you'll still see people gambling not just to have fun but also to have something else and that's to at least make profit from it.

It's always the house who will win whatever a gambler will try to achieved, even there are some experienced gamblers who can win decently but the house can easily recover those money from other casino gamblers who will lose, end of the day, most of the gambler who played will lose decent to huge amount of money and few of those gamblers will enjoy after getting some luck to win.

In reality, most of those people who tried to use gambling as a source of income suffer and ended up broke or earned a lot of loan/debt
to the point that choose to end their life and commit suicide. (worse outcome)

[ethereumhunter]

It is not easy to gamble with discipline, and not everyone can do that because greed takes over and people simply forget that they have to follow discipline and have self-control, they just keep gambling until they have time and money and don't know when to stop even if they have managed to win a significant amount. That is why some people will never understand, even if they do, they just can't control the urge and will do the same again.

So only a few people can have discipline when gambling and control themselves and their minds and urges when they try to force them to gamble when they shouldn't, gambling normally is okay but excessive gambling is definitely not good for anyone because that makes you addicted.

Everyone can do it, but it depends on how strong their efforts are to discipline themselves. People have been given a way to discipline themselves and control themselves, but sometimes they are still often tempted to continue gambling so they forget the discipline they must do. And only a few people can indeed be disciplined when gambling and can control themselves, while others will only use more money without knowing when they can win gambling. We have to prevent gambling addiction from coming to us and it is with discipline that we can do it so that we will not experience the same thing as other people.

Gambling can never restore anyone it leads to more losses it is foolish to think of gambling as the only source of income. Finding the right source of income in gambling is difficult, it depends on luck. It is very difficult to ban yourself if you become addicted to casinos. Becomes excessively addicted to gambling and realizes that it is destroying him because gambling is such an addiction. Therefore, it is better to have a source of income other than gambling so that recovery is possible even if the loss is due to gambling.

[348Judah]

it's not impossible that someone can make a good living from betting but not everyone is lucky to be able to do that

To hit the nail on the head i will like to admit that's true, we cannot make a living without betting because gambling is not for us to have a source of living from it but to engage relationship with those around us through the leisure time, if we are making money from it the we are so lucky enough for that but it may not have to be consistent as well because you win and you loose whenever you're gambling.

but increasing age can make concentration decrease, so that the ability to maintain focus on games that are mastered also decreases, if so then skill-based gamblers will lose to young players, you can say income from gambling will not last long-term.

We cannot compare an overaged gambler with a young gambler together, there will definitely be a difference between them both, an adult gambler can't maintain his youthful performance in gambling any longer because he's old enough in age, whereas gambling is not an investment or source of income for him to rely on as the pension board offers services to the retirees, all money staked were gone and nothing left to fall back again on.

Great thoughts! But the fact is that at this moment the situation is determined by how much a person controls himself. If he is balanced and his self-control is strong, then he will leave gambling, realizing that his skills no longer meet the changed requirements. And we need to give way to the young. But if he plays for the sake of excitement, then the situation is completely different here. Then such a player is unlikely to realize that it's time to leave. Feelings will beckon him back to gambling. And now this is a real addiction. Therefore, you always need to be aware of whether you are controlled by the brain or the heart? Did you come with a calculation or a desire to experience the thrill?
And then you will understand the situation perfectly.
