Can somebody make a successful career in gambling

[Gozie51]

Gambling isn't career, is there anyone can give me an evidence if you're always making money through gambling?

Gambling is only for fun, when you have more unused money that you willing to use it to entertain yourself. If you don't have money you can afford to lose, then gambling isn't for you.

I once read an article that explained someone managed to get rich from gambling, but not many people can do that. Those people gamble in land-based casinos. However, if we play on online gambling sites, I have never known anyone who can get rich from online gambling.

In gambling we may occasionally win but often we lose. And if we calculate the total then I'm sure we lost in gambling

From what I have also seen, those who got rich with gambling also eventually lost it to gambling because they continued gambling. Most who can beat their chest to say they got rich in gambling are those who either resigned from gambling and found another jobs to do and invested in it. Gambling is not the area where you constantly make profit because you rise some time and you fall at another time. The times you fall in gambling are more grievous because it takes you back to beginning as if you never won anything, that is why they say gamble as you can afford and the best is to reinvest what you got from gambling in other endeavors and not to only rely on gambling.

Maybe someone can get rich from online casinos, just that the winnings they get can only be seen by the players themselves, so there is no information obtained by the media to be used as news. Meanwhile, in offline casinos, we can get information from what we see and the players' expressions when they get a jackpot or big win, so it is easy for the media and other gambler to make the win into a news.

think about this, if you experience a $200,000 win from an online casino and at that time you are alone in your house. would you tell people family, friends or anon people in social media if you won $200,000 and invite the media to create article about your win, or would you just keep quiet?

The best one could do with gambling is to make it a funfilled affair in most cases where they can count on to beat boredom when they see other hobbies as too frequent, and also gamble for the money once in a while. With these, they will not be wasting money by thinking gambling is a financial saviour where they will have to earn their life's earnings, which will backfire on them. I've not seen those gamblers that are ever consistent big in their earning or that could be certain with their winnings. Those who won big just had the luck at that time, and such might not happen again in over 5 years. Is that what anyone want to build their life, family and career upon?

As the gambling industry is evolving, I think innovations would have kicked in that can make someone create a career from gambling. I do not know how this can be achieved but I feel it is possible.

Making gambling a full time job might be seen as risky but I still feel one can make gambling full time job and a career.

What do you all think?

Casino operators are the ones who are most benefit and become successful in the gambling industry the same goes for casino staff and casino managers.  

I also searched the internet for people who have been successful in their gambling activities.  Among these people are:

• Kerry Packer – $5 Billion
• Tony Bloom – $1.5 Billion
• Bill Benter – $1 Billion
• Edward Thorp – $800 Million
• Alan Woods – $500 Million
• Zeljko Ranogajec – $420 Million
• Billy Walters – $200 Million
• Dan Bilzerian – $200 Million
• David Walsh – $200 Million
• Phil Ivey – $100 million

You can read their story here: https://www.casino.org/blog/top-10-richest-gamblers/

Anyone who is in the gambling industry as casino worker and business person will definitely be the person who benefits the most because they work and make money in contrast to gamblers who come to spend money quickly and carelessly.

The list of names of professional gamblers is good but do you know how many gamblers are spread all over the world and how many names are there with successful gambling success? and some of these successful people are also supported by quite strong backgrounds or people with great wealth.
If you calculate it for sure only 1% of people are successful from gambling so gambling to have a successful career is not the right choice.

What do you all think?

What made you think it would work? Maybe because gambling is pretty similar with trading? And there are people who engaged into it full time. Well, there's really a big difference between these two and gambling is the most risky one.
I personally don't think it would really work.
My only advice to someone who would love to try this idea, is to have back up funds that would allow you to feed in the next 10-15 years, otherwise you'll most probably going to end up in the streets in less than a year lol.

The truth is that a lot of people have successfully become rich through gambling be it in online casino and offline gambling platforms but what I think should be considered by anyone who wants to get rich through gambling is to firstly analyse the percentage of people who were able to get rich through gambling.
Gambling isn't something that one should get engaged in with the motive of becoming successful through it as it would make the person to always want to gamble more even when he's not winning which leads to becoming a gambling addict.

Gambling is unpredictable. Those brief successes? These illusions keep players in the game longer than necessary. You may climb, but those falls are awful. They destroy all development and prosperity. A cyclical pattern with brief highs and lows? They can be devastatingly permanent.

Think about the psychology. The brain wants that win-induced dopamine boost. What follows? Lows are inevitable. They last longer and are more meaningful. Its sad that so many individuals think they can benefit from gambling. You are right; investing winnings elsewhere is the best strategy. Why stay in an unstable environment when you can invest in more stable ones?

     -  That's what other gamblers really don't understand. Other gamblers continue to believe that it is a good opportunity to generate a source of income. Something that, in reality, should not be. And if there is anyone else who won a large amount of money gambling or got the jackpot.

For those who have won the jackpot in casino gambling, I have rarely seen anything that can really be said about whether they used the gambling winnings correctly. Because most of them actually got the jackpot but ended up wasting what they won on gambling.

Yes, that's true because everything if set up so that gamblers will lose and online gambling always wins because the business was founded to give money to gambling owners, not to give money to users, even if we win occasionally, the amount will definitely not be the same.
I also agree with you that so far you may have never seen someone win big from gambling unless it is an affiliate, otherwise a big gambler who has the budget to gamble in large amounts but if you calculate the wins and losses, it is definitely not the same as for example if a big gambler bets from first day to the 7th day spent $1 million and on last day won $600,000 and it is certain that all is not equal.
So sometimes I not believe it if someone says that successful gambler got big win and usually I answer by telling him to calculate all the losses and profits.

It will not work for you but I know someone got into that level from getting into gambling as their career. We can say they are just a few while the majority seem not too lucky in gambling. Those who got thinking from getting rich in gambling are those who have not been given the chance to win either. It happens to me because the moment I gamble and think about winning, unfortunately, I'm not given a favor. That is why I don't dream of becoming a successful gambler as it looks like I don't have a chance either.

In some cases some individuals can have successful careers in gambling, such as poker players or sports bettors as I have seen some people who bet on sports. However, it requires skill, knowledge, discipline, and understanding of the games or sports involved. Though at times it's not consistent because gambling can be unpredictable and risky.

[Marykeller]

Why would anyone ever have the idea to make gambling their full-time job? Will he receive preferential treatment for his wagers each week to win his wagers or will he be allowed to gamble with free money?

You and I would both agree that someone can't have such an advantage when gambling based on what I have said. It is undeniable that one must bet with real money, and that individual will almost certainly lose that money. Because that is how gambling site makes their money through bets lost.

Despite how addicted a person may appear to be, I don't believe anyone would want to pick gambling as a full-time profession. The individual must work a job that earns him money that he utilizes to bet.

Is that really a career?

The way I understand the word is, you become well known professional in the field, you have employment history, you have successes that you can really present to the public.
If you're an online casino player who doesn't stream it, doesn't publish it anywhere, has a good betting  history, but doesn't win a ton of money, just manages to have constant results, like $500 a month, that's not a career! If you martingale on dice earning a few bucks each time, that's not a career. If you play slots every day for an hour, that's not a career.
The only gamblers that could call it a career are people who play in poker tournaments, people who are paid to stream their games, who are employed by casinos... 99% of gamblers are just gamblers. There's no career to talk about.

What do you all think?

IMO, making gambling a job is wrong. Gambling is not a job to make money because gambling only wins and loses. The most obvious outcome of gambling is defeat.
You can do research if you are in doubt.
You are wrong in thinking that someone can make gambling a job unless you are the owner of a gambling company that employs people.

That's right, it's best to gamble when we just need entertainment and not make it a job. There are times when we feel bored and gambling might make us enthusiastic again. However, it should be noted that if you become addicted, it will certainly harm yourself. So we have to measure carefully what we do when gambling so as not to harm many things. I often gamble when I just want to and I don't do it every day. It is true that defeat will definitely be very inherent in gambling, but once in a while we should not get carried away by our emotions if we lose a large amount and yes, use small money when gambling to avoid that.

Never mind thinking that "gambling is a permanent job that can provide profit every time you play gambling and talk that there is a career in it which when the career continues to increase, the income will also increase". 
I consider that gambling is a side job, I don't dare to talk like that. Because gambling is too high risk to lose money in the blink of an eye, and how could I possibly think that this is a job. In gambling, there is a game not a task that we must and must do. the content is clear that this is just a game for fun, it's just that in playing gambling it must involve money as a bet so that in playing it we must be careful not to do careless things that result in a big loss in gambling.

As for people who become wealthy from the gambling they play, they are not people who are successful in gambling but people who are lucky in gambling because they managed to win a large amount of bets. And believe me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow the winnings will run out again sucked into gambling.

Many people get into gambling by considering of the regular income source,but they never understand the reality.The gambling had a chance of winning the game but also had a chance of losing in the gambling.So the gambler should take the responsibility for the money using in the gambling.Some people consider the gambling as the side job.It may be the better option,because you may have money for your  foods and shelter for every month.You are going to use the free money from the gambling.So the free money will not affect your monthly expenses.The gambling addiction can be recovered by reducing the number of games per day into gambling sites.If the people who get more money from the gambling, they will plan to use the more money in to the same gambling sites.

What do you all think?

Gambling can be a full-time job for you or a part-time job for you, you decide and no one else. At the end you would either be a successful gambler or an ex Gambler with a YouTube channel advising potential gamblers on the dangers of being a professional gambler.

What I think is that , you shouldn't do it. Less than. 1% of the population who venture into are successful. And it is a very difficult path to take.

Gambling isn't career, is there anyone can give me an evidence if you're always making money through gambling?

A career is not limited to regular jobs.  Freelancing can be a career, singing can be a career, and playing can be a career, so what is stopping gambling from being a career?  Career was defined as

A career refers to an individual’s chosen profession or occupation. Your career can include one or many jobs throughout your lifetime and the actions, decisions, and paths you take to develop in your profession. A career usually uses your skills and talents while providing personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose.

Whether one is making money or not is out of the question, if the person wanted to make gambling his career then who are we to say that it is not?

This is a reason why we have professional gamblers, casino operator etc..

Gambling is only for fun, when you have more unused money that you willing to use it to entertain yourself. If you don't have the money you can afford to lose, then gambling isn't for you.

The gambling Industry is not only for fun, although in a narrower view, we look at gambling as for fun, in a wider scope we have this gambling industry that includes, business, careers, and entertainment.

Yes, it's best if we use gambling to find fun, not to make it a career to achieve success. However, there are also some people who think that gambling can give them hope and can be successfull quickly, namely by gambling and succeeding in getting big profit, even though this rarely happen, they can wins large amounts of gambling, its like 1 or 2 people in 1 country.
Only those who are lucky because gambling does not always give luck to its users, lets just count how many countries and people are involved in the world of gambling and many of them experience continuous losses, rarely those who actually get big win, so it can be concluded that gambling cannot be used as a means to make money or become a job because gambling is not like other job where you get a salary every month.
