Can somebody make a successful career in gambling

[danherbias07]

Everyone that have tried to make gambling a career has failed completely, and I don't advice people to stay away from gambling, if you want to do gambling without anything else you are free to continue, there is no reason to argue or anything, but I am sure you will come back and tell me that you quit.

There is no way that you will continue to be successful in gambling, there is no one who have gamble seven days in a week and able to win in all 7 days, it's impossible, you need to have a job or make money doing a thing aside gambling, so that when you run out of money you won't be stranded.

If you want to be a good gambler you need to get a job that will pay you and use part of the money to try gambling, do not try to use gambling as a source of regular income, it's not going to work, but you are free to try.

That's absolutely true.
1 week, a gambler may only win maybe once those whole seven days 12 hours per day. Worse, you may not win at all because gambling sites will just keep on taking it all back.
I think I made enough amount of bets to see all that. My withdrawal numbers can be counted on the fingers of my one hand. If I remember it right, I just made withdrawals twice or maybe 3 times, and computing it all will not be enough with how much I already lost in my whole betting history.
That's why I also believe that it cannot be done especially with casino games. I may actually believe it if the gambler is doing sports betting but it may take time to make a good amount. Making money through sports requires betting for low-risk bets which means lower profits too.
A daily income is difficult to achieve unless the gambler bets at high amounts.

I do not really have a problem with a gambler trying to become a professional and trying to make money out of gambling, however before they even try they need to answer a very important question to themselves, and that is how exactly are they going to achieve their goal of making money while they gamble? And until they can answer that question honestly and they have the evidence on their hands that what they want to do works, then they have no business gambling at all.

We don't have a problem with those who want to become a professional. But they should first see what has happened to many people who don't even want to be professionals but have lost so much. They don't have any desires except to win the gambling game so they keep betting. If they want to become a professional, they must be able to learn many things, not only about skills but also useful things, to be able to prevent them from making mistakes when playing gambling. Not many people can eventually become professionals, while others will only experience a lot of losses.

Yes I understand what you mean, Where they can still continue to gamble by not using or disturbing finances for needs, that's good because then they have a sense of responsibility for what is more important, I suggest gambling only occasionally using leftover money, such as bonus money from work not to use the money set aside for daily needs let alone using savings. Yes that's right, I also think like that, gambling naturally just don't overdo it because if luck favors it will give victory, not by playing continuously to get victory, because usually it will only spend more money will also make us continue to be addicted to playing. Of course, there are many examples that occur if they force themselves to continue gambling, also by increasing their budget for gambling, it does not guarantee that victory will be easy to get. So it's best to do what needs to be done that we think is needed especially for daily life, because if you pursue victory there will be no end. Instead of being successful, they become miserable, of course they don't want that, they chase victory to change their lives for the better but in fact it's the opposite.

That's what we call having responsibility while playing gambling because they still remember that they have needs that must be met and the money they get from their source of income must be managed or adjusted to all their needs. They cannot use a lot of money to gamble because they have other needs that they must fulfill so they must be able to control themselves when gambling. By being able to properly allocate their income to all their needs, including gambling, they can gamble without any disturbance and it will also not interfere with their other finances. If they got their luck, they would definitely be able to win. They will not chase victory because they already know it will be difficult and will require more so it could disrupt their financial position. Moreover, we already know that gambling is just entertainment, so we shouldn't gamble excessively. Otherwise, we will get into trouble later.

But most people today gamble irresponsibly by forgetting a lot of things even their own health they can forget, really not playing the side effects of gambling that can make someone forget themselves. I always anticipate this, I gamble but not by forgetting things, especially with health because I think everyone knows health is expensive. They should also realize that they won't be able to succeed if they only gamble, there is very little chance of winning let alone being successful. But it cannot be hidden that people who are addicted to gambling are not few, many of them still want a big win to become successful with gambling or in other words rich with gambling, this kind of mindset must be changed but it is also difficult to change or realize those who are already addicted to gambling.

[noormcs5]

But if we look at what is been directly meant by the OP of the thread which is the referral of someone actually turning his gambling habit as a means of income then that is a totally different case all together.

As I have mentioned, a career in gambling cannot be achieved by everyone. I understand what the OP mean, about the possibility of making gambling a full time job. This is a very difficult thing, considering not every day we can win and get a lot of money. Playing cards, betting on sports, all of these can be options, but win is not always ours. Especially for those who choose to make slots their full time gambling, this will be even more difficult. Referrals are not a part of the OP mean, but I think this is the easiest for gamblers to choose. However, the factor of how he gets referrals and how much he gets will determine his income.

The word career does not suit with gambling. Yeah, one can earn a living through the gambling industry if he owns a gambling business. But if you are a gambler (a player), then there is no possibility that you can earn a living with gambling. Even if you think and plan something, to earn regular income from gambling, that will not work because gambling would not let you earn a consistent income. Those who are experienced gamblers know this fact and hence they always have an alternative to gambling for their regular income.

It better for us to be to be wise than ignorant and gamble for fun only and not to make our career in it.

It would be a shame if they forget many things, including their health, just because they want to gamble, which they can even do on the sidelines of their routine activities. They don't care about their health even though their health is the most valuable thing for them. If they are healthy, they can do whatever they want and can also gamble. But if they still want to make a career out of gambling, that's up to them and it's best if they already know what the consequences will be for them. Yes, many people are already addicted to gambling and this number will probably increase in the future, especially if people cannot take good care of themselves. Indeed, this mindset influences them to continue gambling, so they have to improve their mindset first if they want to change their habits.

[Peanutswar]

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?

Theres no assurance every game you playing gambling that you will win at the end of the day, its all about luck to hit the jackpot that's the reason why it's not ideal to use gambling as one of your sources of income, unless you are a really skilled person in terms of statistics, probability, algorithm and etc to understand the next move of the game, even in table tops or in sports betting. I guess you can commit as full-time job in gambling like the pro players seeing in the game compete with other players and not just a casual player earning a minimum hoping to win a large amount and keep losing and expecting that gambling makes your live getting better.

yes that's right, they are not aware of other more important things. like you said they can do it in between times if they are healthy, but if they get sick because of gambling it is very unfortunate to prioritize things that are not clear with a positive end. They should be prepared with all the risks if they always prioritize gambling in their days. Yes gambling easily attracts the people around it to become addicted too at this time people do a lot of gambling and some are even willing to leave their regular jobs to gamble, they hope to be successful with gambling even though it is very unlikely to happen, with gambling of course this is to make money not to give money, maybe there are some people who are successful with gambling, but that doesn't happen with everyone because only people who have strong luck to succeed, if they are not too addicted they must know about this so that nothing happens that is not wanted and also will not harm themselves in the future.

Experiencing pain due to gambling makes no sense because we should be the ones to control ourselves so we don't gamble too often and can limit ourselves to our gambling activities. If we get sick because we gamble frequently, it proves that there is something wrong with the way we gamble and we have to check what is wrong and fix it so that we can enjoy gambling as we should. It makes no more sense if they leave their permanent job just because of gambling because they should be able to think that their permanent job is more promising and can provide them with a steady income. Gambling is just entertainment and people can actually not gamble and use other activities to get entertainment. But it is because of the desire to win from gambling that makes them return to gambling even more often. Those of us who already know that gambling is for fun should always limit our gambling activities because otherwise, we will suffer losses due to many losses.

It doesn't just suit it, my friend, a career is what you push for, it's your life and passion and a means by which you earn a living, I don't think gambling suits it at all. And from the OP, I think the question is even not right from the beginning, no one can say they will have a successful gambling career unless they are foolish, and this is because the risk is simply too high. But peradventure if some are gambling and making money regularly from it, the person should just be happy and continue to try his luck and not believe he can still build a career upon it. Consistent earning is what I know in gambling, and I also know of a huge earning when someone is lucky and just hits the Jackpot. But for a deliberate successful gambling career pursuit, I don't think it's wise and I'm sure that all the people that had tried it before now must have regretted it. The mind at which we need to engage in gambling must be mature and not shallow like this to avoid dragging ourselves to the back in life and later regretting it.

[Rockstarguy]

It will be unwise for any body to see gambling as a career or depending on it as a source of income.  Anything that is unpredicted it is very dangerous for people to depend on it. In life we have real issues that occur every day and this problem needs a steady source of income that  they can hold to. Even if you are thinking of how to generate money from gambling it is very important that one has to have a major source of income.  I have seen people who only depend on gambling,  how they got disappointed and decide to do crazy thing to themselves because of too much expectation from gambling win.

We must accept that only 1% may win. Why so few? Gambling is a probabilistic art. Luck, not skill, rules this arena. Gambling is entertaining since its unpredictable, social, and gives you an adrenaline boost. Its an escape from daily life. The problem is when people are blinded by prospective advantages and disregard the more likely outcome: loss. We must stress that gambling does not guarantee financial stability. This pursuit will fail for most.

Thus, while we support gambling's fun and excitement, its important to approach it rationally. Indulge occasionally, not daily. Understanding the odds, accepting the high loss likelihood, and gambling properly are crucial. Gambling is about fun, not guaranteed profit.

I agree with this. While it is possible to do so, it will be a tedious task. If you have many resources at your disposal, it can be easier to accomplish, however, despite having many funds, of course, winning won't still be guaranteed. You will experience many losses first before mastering and learning how to do things properly when it comes to betting and playing.

But I don't really recommend it especially to those people who aren't rich to begin with and has mouths to feed. It will still be better to have a stable source of income such as having a day job that have a decent salary to sustain your necessities and your family's as well. It will be hard to have earnings just by doing gambling, what more saving for the future if you only have limited resources to stake.

Yes, thats right, gambling should not be used as a career to achieve success because gambling is an uncertain games and difficult to wins. Even though sometime gambling can use several skills and strategie, it's not enough that the casinos wants us to go bankrupt rather than be successfull in gambling because of that what may happen is that we will continue to enrich casino owners.
If we try to continue gambling with the aim of achieving a successfull career then this is an action that is out of control and very risky, as you said, we must live to have a definite income. We cannot possibly depend only on gambling which provides 100% uncertainty while life need to go on. if we continue to hoped for gambling we will increasingly lose everything because in my opinion it is very impossible for someone who can really make a successful career in gambling unless that person is a person who is truly professional and has many year of experience in gambling (not a gambling addict).

We want to choose gambling as a profession only when we can win more than one by gambling. It is possible to build one's career by gambling when a gambler wins the jackpot by gambling. It is never a good decision for a gambler to consider making a career out of gambling without winning a big jackpot. All I care about is that I know enough about gambling but if I win one gamble and then lose the other three, that gamble will never help my career. I don't look down on gambling because I am a gambler myself but my gambling style is different. I finish all my work well then gamble and that is the best decision for me. Before taking up gambling as a profession we should plan and think about the pros and cons of gambling.

And that is what those people do not get, becoming a professional gambler is possible, however it will require a massive adjustment on the way they live their life and if they are not willing to do it then they may as well just give up on their dream from the beginning, and this is because the earnings that can be produced through gambling are not stable, so what they will do if they do not earn any money for months and they have a family they need to sustain? Will they let their family to suffer because of their career choice?

The gambler who want to become the professional gambler should ready to use their dollars in the gambling site and afford to lose if the bad luck prevails the gambler.He should also consider he will get back the money in the future gambling games.He should ready to sacrifice dollars to learn the gambling,but if he earned good knowledge from the gambling.The money from the gambling site will be the easiest one for the gambler using their knowledge in the gambling site.So as like the trading,gambling also need of time spending on learning the gambling.At the beginning the gambler may not earn money and spend huge money to lear gambling,the important thing was their family will wait for the gambler to succeed in gambling.

What do you all think?

Many people can profit from gambling but in my opinion it should not be considered as a main source of income because it is a place where you may earn a lot today and it may be gone tomorrow.

 So it is better to take gambling as a means of extra income without taking it professionally because you can become rich with the extra income you get from it but gambling is a dangerous platform so be careful for gambling site.

Even though many people can win from gambling, we still shouldn't use gambling as a main source of income because we might find it difficult to keep winning. Winning from gambling is luck for gamblers, so they cannot say that they can make money from gambling and make it their main income. We may win today but we are still determining whether we can win or lose tomorrow.

For this reason, we should think of gambling as a place to have fun and not as a place or main source of income. And rather than taking the risk of losing too much money, we should try to reduce the amount of loss. It can protect and save our money so that we can continue gambling for another day.

In my opinion, it shouldn’t be considered a source of income at all cause it literally isn’t. Anything considered a source where you earn money should at the very least, be reliable. Money won from gambling isn’t reliable as it doesn’t come often. It doesn’t come when you want or need it so I don’t see gambling as a source where one could earn money.
If one is looking to earn some extra money, that person should get a side job where the paycheck would actually be steady and reliable. It’s better to look to gambling as an activity rather than a job. The win is more enjoyable then.

I think that reliable payment does not really constitute an income, because you could have a job where the employer is bad and never pays on time.

Or you could have a client that always pays you late to your business, etc.

But those two are still income.

Whereas gambling is an unknown amount of money to be paid, or that you have to pay. It's a completely different thing.

You are buying the hope to become a rich person. That's not income. The income is received by the people running the casino.

Yes, considering gambling as a source of income is not a good thing, because every time we gamble, we have to spend capital to be able to gamble. In gambling, we don't necessarily mean we can win, let alone consistently win the gambling we play, but what they will get. only losses in gambling, when you experience a gambling addiction, of course this will be very detrimental for everyone who gambles.
