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

[DabsPoorVersion]

not sure about gambling as a main income. The fact that I found is that they actually lose a lot when gambling with emotions that want to win a lot from the results of their gambling. they are called gambling addicts. Yes, that should be avoided. I think gambling is a game that should only be for fun, not for making it your main income.

Using gambling as a source of income is really risky. It might lead to more losses than earnings. There are some people who do that and instead of making money, they end up chasing their losses. I disagree that gambling should only be for fun because there is no fun in losing money. What gamblers need is to control their budget and emotions, if they have the feeling of not being lucky, it would be better to stop gambling in the meantime.

Maybe there should be allowance for trial so that they can see if it's something possible for them to cope with in using gambling as a source of income, when we are gambling, we are taking the risk in using from the money we already earned to maintain a living to gamble with it because we wanted to have fun and enjoy ourselves, if we often make win while gambling, then we can say that it's been profitable as well for us to earn through gambling but not applicable to everyone to earn as they gambles, because we often loose than we make win while gambling.

Opinion One, a few people called Professional Gambler take gambling as a job for a living. These people have the skills to make that happen. My scheme is working on that. But it looks like so scam to many dudes, so you judge it on your own risk.

I think that only applies to those who have a casino business and it will be quite difficult to make regular profits for gambling enthusiasts. What do you mean by professional gamblers, are they the elite group who gamble only for entertainment and fun, because only they have the opportunity to win big from the gambling they play and may not end up consistently winning regularly every time.

Opinion Three, this is the most important one. YOU. No one put a gun on your head to push you to gamble. You can do anything if you can control yourself by supreme rules. Like the stop-loss, stop-win, gamble hours per day......The key is self-control. Comparing the power of self-control, others are unimportant. Some people success, then they can be called professional gambler.

Unfortunately it will be quite difficult to control gambling when someone is so addicted and I think there are a lot of cases that might end up pretty badly. The difference between rich people and ordinary people in gambling is very big, rich people may gamble only to the extent of their ability to spend money responsibly and they do not use a budget for their daily needs. Meanwhile, ordinary people gamble to make money to support their lives and it is at this point that the pattern of gambling is considered wrong because when they lose they will lose money as a means of supporting their lives.

In our country there will be little percentage of gambling who win always and have profit from gambling and large percentage are also present here who just lost all their money in gambling.
Gambling is more risky and those who don't have any job and are in depression they become a part of gambling because once a dream of a person is not achieved then they move towards bad activities.

Scammers are everywhere, please think deep and seriously before doing anything.

Yes true that scammers are present everywhere but one have the power to know about what is right and what is wrong so if a person realize this thing he will first never go towards gambling as a result of which he skip encircling by scammers.
In gambling one cannot become professional as it is related to betting which is dependent on your luck and luck cannot be determined in advance.

I don't think I'll ever make any decisions like - taking up gambling as a professional skill ... that'd be the lamest idea to set off with...
Professionalism isn't an easy level to achieve in any course/field of study, talkmore of gambling that has remained unpredictable right from its inception..
I'm happy you've learnt and corrected your mistakes overtime...but I'm afraid you had to pay for it..

He played 3-4 tournaments the same time. The normal situation was to be in the game on the last table at least in 2 of them. And he had 2-3 such games per day. I didn`t ask him how much he win per month last time, but i think that with such results he got at least $100 per day. The good moment in small tournaments, that there are lots of them the same time and they lasts about 2-3 hours. Also there are not many skilled players there. At least it was so 8-10 years ago - last time we talked about online poker.
I hope that he is ok and still winning but i don`t think that he become a famous player - his strategy was to be unknown.

Earning $100 daily is a good result because not many of us or other gamblers can make that much money, especially daily. He can control himself by only playing 2-3 games daily, which is difficult to do because most gamblers will exceed their limits because of the temptation of gambling, which will make them play without knowing the time. And if he plays in those small tournaments where not many skilled players play there, he can get a lot of wins from those small tournaments. Moreover, if he could play every day and win some money, that would be even better, considering he is an experienced gambler.

These 2-3 games are about 6-8 hours, every hour they make a 5 minute break. I was really tired after 2 such games one by one. So 2-3 games per day every day - it is really becomes a job. Nice money for hard job. And you`re right - in such tournaments it is not very difficult to get the prize for skilled player.

Making gambling for your main income can only be done by a professional gambler because they think they have mastered gambling so they can easily make money with the strategies they have.
Indeed, only a few people can do this gambling and most gamblers like this are not careless in placing bets, which is different from someone who gambles but cannot control himself and spends his money in vain. Gamblers like this are irresponsible gamblers and this is very dangerous can make gambling a source of income because it's useless for them to experience a lot of losses.

      -   I have a status-level account in a casino since I enjoy gambling. That isn't truly what I want. Because I am aware that obtaining a VIP membership at a casino requires a significant amount of accumulation on the platform. And I have no desire to carry that out.

Since the only thing that keeps me entertained when I gamble is enjoyment, I only consider it a win if I walk away with money that will support my family. When I play, it is also restricted; in other words, it is for amusement. Simply put, I don't really feel terrible or take the defeat personally; I'm just doing what I always do.

In gambling, the primary source of income is very ambiguous.
Even if they have income from this gambling game, players can hardly spend that money on necessary things or save it. Some people will take that money and continue sinking deeper into gambling, and it will be like a spiral dragging them along. Of course, that person will become addicted. The second component is the money that is easy to earn in gambling, and they will use it to indulge in debauchery ''because they feel that money is easy to earn''. I'm a good example: I won a lot of gambling, spent it all in one night, and now I don't see the balance in my account.

You can get stable profit from the gambling without VIP membership. I think that it will be easier without VIP account. But it will nothing like enjoy, it will become a job. But you can support your family. The same time you have to leave the main job.
Now i get fun from gambling. I get enough money from my main job and don`t need additional income that need lots of time or lots of efforts. But i know that i can get enough money from gambling for my family even without job.

When you become well known your life changes. And not everybody likes it. Vacation costs about $2000-$3000 in our country and the other spends same with yours. $20 per year is enough for normal life for family with 2 children. So his profit is $30-$40 thousand per year at least. Medium salary is about $8-$10 thousand per year, so i think that his major income from gambling is successful.

Good for him then. Being successful from many years of gambling is a rare thing. I'm successful from my almost 10 years of gambling as well, but I don't consider myself a specialist. Rather, I think I was lucky. Not that lucky that gambling could be called a major income for me,  but I've earned around $10k(mostly playing poker) during my 10 year gambling career, and that's a good money where I live.

I wasn`t so successful in poker, but it isn`t my main game. I was more interested in sport betting and had stable profit about $800 per month. But it got all my time and i had to stop it - the income from the main job is higher. Of course it wasn`t so long, but i`ve got nice profit for a half a year. Anyway the main achievement in gambling is being profitable gambler as for me. And if it can be higher than income from the job for a long time - it is really cool.

That's good if you don't want to get a VIP membership at a casino because the accumulated money we use to reach the VIP level is very large. But other people may be chasing the VIP level to get something from the casino, and it is profitable for them if they have reached the VIP level.

And it's better to use gambling as fun by not chasing the VIP level because after all, sooner or later, we will be at the VIP level. But if someone wants to make gambling a source of income, he should be able to think about it more deeply because gambling is not a place to make money. He should look for other sources of income to earn money.

Indeed, attaining a VIP level on a casino requires a huge accumulated amount of money. The amount might even come off as impossible to spend, but most players especially the regulars can attain it in a short span of time. Some might even attain the needed amount in a snap. It all depends how aggressive type of gambler he is and how frequently the player makes a bet and play. If you don't really mind the level perks or so called tier perks, then might as well don't bother because it will just keep you spending more and more.

Just remember to gamble within your budget. Do not go beyond what you can afford to lose because it's hard to earn money after all. VIP level shouldn't be chased, rather it will come naturally depending on your betting and activity. So just chill out and gamble responsibly.

That makes sense if they are one of the professional gamblers, but I say that even though they may already know and understand everything in gambling it will not always make them lucky and get money. For me, whether they are a professional or a beginner who just came, still for gambling problems it will come back to the luck of everyone who is there. And maybe the difference is that those who are professionals already know better what they should do when experiencing certain conditions there, and I say they have better control than wild gamblers who are aggressive because they want to win like in general. Why can they be called professional gamblers? because from the beginning they have good responsibility during gambling and always stick to their plans so that they can survive until the professional point.

For me, the problem of winning is still that it is all evenly distributed, meaning in terms of luck, because no one knows and also the fact that even though they are professionals they will also always be haunted by the number of defeats, it's just that they can minimize it. So for the problem of luck as I said it is the same and everyone has it but for the problem of responsibility and self-control not everyone can do it, so that's why we can see many who end up slumping.

Each casino has different requirements for increasing the VIP level percentage and of course all require certain amount of money to be able to gradually increase from the first VIP level onwards but it is not recommended for gamblers to pursue the VIP level even though this level can provide several benefits weekly or monthly bonus.
For those who aim to get number of bonuses and have enough money in their free gambling budget they can do anything to pursue it but for us small gamblers it is better to be more patient and believe that over time we can get the VIP level we want.

Moreover pursuing VIP rank is the same as pursuing profits from gambling and can be very risky for our finances.

He should look for other sources of income to earn money.

It true that pursuing VIP rank will actually make it difficult for every gambler who doesn't have an adequate budget and should never pursue anything from gambling in the hope of making a profit or source of income because the concept of gambling is not to enrich oneself.

Good point, don't chase it and allow it to come naturally, as if you aggressively try to achieve it will lead you to lose a lot, instead of trying it hard better to enjoy and let your gambling sessions as natural as it can be, sooner or later you might achieved that level if you continually betting and letting yourself enjoy with good habits and responsible way of placing your budget for your each day sessions.

Be patient and don't exceed too much with the time and the money that you'll going to spend. It's risky and most of the time can lead you up to addiction if you spend a lot on this activity.

Be patient and don't exceed too much with the time and the money that you'll going to spend. It's risky and most of the time can lead you up to addiction if you spend a lot on this activity.

Yes, that's true, gambling is very risky, you have to have a certain budget so that it can be an alarm when we have reached the budget limit to stop gambling. Apart from that, you also need to limit playing time, for example, usually you gamble for 2 hours, so make sure you use an alarm to stop if you have reached the threshold. Time limit for stopping gambling is not easy, but if done consistently it can definitely help us avoid addiction.

I might be one of those who still limits my budget so that I know when to stop gambling and when to gamble, even though I don't limit my time, I will stop gambling when my gambling budget runs out, so why chase after the losses we experience because it will increase the losses In the end, always remember to play with money that we are ready to lose, that's the correct way to gamble, always play wisely and responsibly.

Spending much money to reach the VIP level is not recommended, especially for small gamblers who want to gamble for fun. But those who want to reach the VIP level of one more casino will try to achieve it and they can achieve it quickly, especially if they have prepared a certain amount of funds to try to reach the VIP level. So it depends on each gambler when playing gambling, so they have to know how much money they have to allocate.

Yes, we must play gambling according to our budget and never exceed our limits because that will only make it difficult for us to gamble. We will reach that VIP level one day and must gamble while enjoying it. And there's no need to use too much money, especially if you're chasing win.

Each casino has different requirements for increasing the VIP level percentage and of course all require certain amount of money to be able to gradually increase from the first VIP level onwards but it is not recommended for gamblers to pursue the VIP level even though this level can provide several benefits weekly or monthly bonus.

Moreover pursuing VIP rank is the same as pursuing profits from gambling and can be very risky for our finances.

Those who only gamble for fun can also get several bonuses because some casinos try to give bonuses to gamblers who actively gamble at their casinos. So they don't need to think about reaching this VIP level because the more often they gamble, they will be able to reach this VIP level later. The bonus they get may be a little because their level is still low, but when their level starts to increase, the bonuses they get will also get bigger and when they reach the VIP level, the bonuses they will get will also be more. So to reach the VIP level, it takes time, so gamblers have to think about it before they start chasing the VIP level.

So to reach the VIP level, it takes time, so gamblers have to think about it before they start chasing the VIP level.

Indeed some casinos offer bonuses to their customers who actively gamble but all these bonuses are not worthy or not comparable to the bonuses obtained from VIP level because there are weekly and monthly bonuses that can be claimed by gamblers.
But apart from all that we have to realize that getting it is not easy and the amount of bonus we receive also depends on how much money we use to bet because the more actively we bet the more weekly or monthly bonuses we can claim.

Bonuses are just a small return given by the casino so that we can be more active or spend more money so thinking that bonuses can really be profitable is wrong idea.
Some people may think of bonuses as benefits that they have to get to increase the profits they get but in reality they are just incentives for gamblers to spend money more consistently not earn consistently.
