Can somebody make a successful career in gambling

[someone703]

Casinos shimmer with a promise of easy riches, a quick path to financial freedom. But the truth is far less glamorous. Casinos are like elaborate stage productions, meticulously designed to tip the odds in their favor.  Imagine a game rigged from the start, a contest where the rules are inherently stacked against you. Sure, there's a sliver of a chance you might win, but it's like chasing a wisp of smoke.

Success, in any field, demands consistency, a commitment to learning and refining skills. Yet, gambling is the antithesis of this. It's a realm governed by chance, a capricious force that rewards whims, not dedication.  Imagine a musician who expects to master their instrument by randomly banging on the keys. It's simply illogical.

The idea of a "gambling career" is a carefully crafted illusion.  Those streamers you see, hawking their luck at online casinos? They're not winners; they're shills, actors in a play funded by the very casinos they promote. Their income comes from tricking viewers, not from defying the odds.

In my opinion, the only people who are into gambling and make money are the casino owners, the casino employees and the owners of YouTube and Twitch channels. as streamers are paid by casinos to keep playing so they can make a living from gambling, this is because they have a base of many followers on their channels and are very well paid, and those channels of theirs have become a very serious business, they they are the only players who can afford to make a living from gambling due to their channels and they don't play much with money from their pockets, that money that they are paid by the casinos, I believe they use to buy houses, make business in the real world

It is very different from the cases of people who keep playing without having any sponsorship from a casino, they play using money from their pocket, in this case the person will not be able to live off gambling games, in gambling games there is no bet in each bet. guarantee of victory, and even when the person is successful in a bet, in another bet the person loses, then the person loses again and in this way it becomes very obvious that the person will not be able to make a living from gambling, while in a job the person knows that at the end of the month there is a salary. In a well-managed business, the person knows that at the end of the month they have a certain amount of profit that they can use to pay their bills.

Honestly and I think most people especially those here would agree with my idea and opinion that gambling has absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning because everything will only happen by "chance", and that means how can you see that there is success in gambling activities that are always about uncertainty? I understand that success has different meanings and depends on how the context is, but when it comes to gambling then I think there are only two contexts of success between you being successful by getting a lot of winnings or you are successful in terms of managing your gambling activities well which means that it leads to a lot of precautions to keep you safe in the long run.

But I think everyone would think that success in gambling is when they can make a lot of money or those who can get rich instantly, and as I said above that is not possible because gambling has no element of consistency in terms of earning, everything always happens by "chance" and nothing more than that. And the other worrying side is that as you said that it is not uncommon for people who come to fix financial problems in their lives or who have no source of income and use gambling as a place to earn, however that is the wrong mindset, and I will say that whatever you do as a way to get more winnings in fact it will only make you end up in a worse situation.

Gambling is a bad investment. Its luck, not skill, and luck isnt a strategy. You got it - gambling success? Its like a casino winning streak - elusive.

Wealth and habit management were your two success categories. Similar to discovering a unicorn, rare. The actual winners? The home. Always. The idea that gaming can provide regular income is false. Losing game. I know real estate, so invest. Gambling to cure finances is like putting out a fire with gasoline—it gets worse. Smart decisions, not random fantasies, are needed.

Yes overall gambling is an activity that always refers to your luck, no matter how skillful you are in terms of how to get a win but still it will all fail if in the end luck does not come at the right time, This is why it is always recommended not to bring seriousness to gambling activities because in fact you will only spin in a cycle of winning and losing which means you will chase victory to restore something that has been lost and this has no limit, or meaning that the real victory is when you are able to stop and let go of everything that has been lost in gambling because obviously however chasing victory to restore something that has been lost will in fact only make the situation worse.

I honestly don't understand the mindset of people who think that gambling is a quick way to get rich, most likely they only see gambling from one side only, namely getting money instantly but not thinking about the bad side that exists in gambling such as the possibility of risks that cannot actually be tolerated, The logic is as you said that this is a game which means a game, but I admit that there are some games that can give you income but there is no consistent element in terms of earning it like some worldwide games played by some influencers or stremers, but this is different, because gambling is a game that risks your money to win and lose and not like other general games. Yes I agree with you that solving financial problems with gambling is like putting out a fire with gasoline, so think about it before it's too late and you regret it.

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?

Op nothing is actually impossible on earth, but just know that gambling is a game of luck and seeing it as a profession or career is more or less being jobless because no one can actually accommodate risk as an occupation.

career here stands for something that you will be doing to earn a living and cater for yourself and your family if am not mistaken, and seeing gambling here as a carer there are some likely factors one had to consider before taking such decisions which include the following:
1. gambling is not certain; any person or group of persons that want to see gambling as their source of livelihood should put at their minds that gambling is not certain rather it is based or probability(an outcome of an expectation in any numeric event) either to win or loss.

2. gambling has no basic salary wage: this is factually another important factor that the person has to consider because there is no specified salary for gamblers rather, they earn through predictions which your predictions might fail you as well ( still revolves in uncertainty).

3.you are responsible for your own liability : No company or firm will deem it necessary to employ a gambler as a staff ,however you can employ yourself and you are vitually liable for your own loss . no ones owes you any explanation for your loss and you also owe no one any explanation for your loss as well which invariably implies that you are responsilbe for your own liablilty .

4. lastly in gambling you dont report to anyone instead you report to your emotion and conscience and many more other things to consider .However , for me it is not ideal for someone to see gambling as a career or a profession beacuse it lies in a two sided efforts is either you loose or you gain.

In my opinion, there isn’t anything like a career made and gotten from gambling as gambling isn’t a career nor a job opportunity. People seem to think you could make a living by earning money gotten from gambling but that is simply not true. People could be fooled by ads put out by so called “influencers” looking to make a quick buck and wouldn’t actually care about what they’re selling to their followers.
I don’t think it’s actually possible to make a living from gambling. You could win some good amounts of money but you would definitely lose probably an even bigger amount as well. That isn’t a career. You don’t lose money in an actual career they way money is lost on gambling.

The living ancestors from the indian tribes in the US are making some dang good money having been granted the casino licenses. I couldn't agree with you more though the only folks that are making the really good money are the people/groups that actually own the casinos. The folks who go play at the casinos, unless you are filthy rich can't make a living off doing that "the house always wins" pretty much rings true everywhere you go, although I guess there is definitely sheer dumb luck involved.

Gambling is supposed to be a fun based activity not a job nor a career. This is part of the things that lead to gambling addiction. The more seriously a person tends to take gambling the more time and money they would definitely invest into it and boom they end up spending way too much time and even money on gambling activities and stakes. As a responsible gambler, your idea and the way you view gambling matters a lot as it is what will determine how much time and money you invest into gambling activities.
If someone is a worker at a casino probably a traditional casino or an online one it is a different case but as a customer spending that much time would definitely lead to addiction.

[ethereumhunter]

On my own opinion, I don't see myself making gambling as my career, As you have said, many people have tried but failed in the middle of the process because they developed the addiction and obsession of playing it, That's why It is better that gambling should be for fun and leisure only, but we can't avoid ourself as well as the others to making it as another source of income in the long run especially when we have the right technique and strategy to win here.

I agree with your decision by not making gambling as a career. We can only used gambling as a fun activity in our spare time and not playing gambling too often to prevents the other problems. We will have a chance to prevents the problems if we are carefully playing gambling because we will avoids the big losses. We will try to avoids the chances being addicted by always using a good self-control because we already see many gamblers losing their self-control and become addicted to gambling without a chance to recovery themselves. Gambling should be for fun and leisure only  and not for making money because we have the other options to make money. When we can used gambling as it should be, we will not face many problems.

I agree with you, it is true that it is also impossible to make a career out of gambling, because gambling itself is a means of entertainment that uses money, and that too is a business for gambling owners, gambling owners also hold gambling with the aim of making a profit from the many people who do gambling. Meanwhile, for many people who gamble, they are just ordinary players who cannot win consistently, the house advantage absolutely cannot be changed.

Having the thought of being able to make money by gambling is very, very wrong, because thinking like that will only make us gamble more often, and with the fact that we will lose more often it will make us lose a lot of money. It's true what you said, it's impossible to make a living by gambling, it feels annoying. what is called a career is our own skill that can make money with no provisions for losing money, but with gambling I think everyone knows that this is a game that has been set up to drain everyone's finances, not to make money for sure. then it is very impossible to make a career by gambling.

[GxSTxV]

I personally don't think that it is possible for a gambler to make a career out of gambling, because first of all gambling isn't a job it is just an entertaining activity that some people enjoy and should just spend a certain amount of money in it that can either be refundable or doubled or he can afford losing.
It is a very stupid idea to rely on gambling as a main source of income and expect yourself to make a successful career out of it, simply because it is not a fixed salary nor money that stays. It is true that some gamblers get so lucky that they make decent amount of money out of it but we can't deny that most of people lose a lot of money too, so it is not a 100% secure money.
The only successful career that can be made out of gambling belongs to casino owners either online or offline.

Gambling have never been regarded as a career engagement and statistics shows that majority of the people who engaged in it as a career engagement ended up becoming gambling addicts with failed careers. Gambling is a game of fun and that's what sensitive people who have the full knowledge of gambling get involve in it for fun and the other group of persons that do it because they want to make a living out of it most times ends up as addicts.
I have a friend back in my highschool days who said he wants to make a gambling his life career and according to him, it's not energy consuming like other means of getting money. I didn't have a good knowledge of gambling and it's effects then so I wanted to do exactly what he said he was going to do but I decided to ask questions about gambling and the responses I got made me to decide not to do what I initially had in mind. He didn't want to listen to my advice and continued with his decision to make gambling his lifetime career but the end they say justifies the means. He lost almost everything he had in gambling because he became addicted but was lucky to break free from gambling addiction and today, he doesn't engage in anything  that looks like gambling because of his experience

Yep... agree... pushing our luck too much every day is not the best thing to survive and I think that will only happen in television series... maybe you heard that there is a gambling professional in this world, but I also suspect that he has something like special access in the games he plays or maybe cheats so he can still make profit every day. In gambling, I always feel that our win rate is very small, so the only thing that makes sense is that our luck is also very small and cannot be used to meet our needs.

Until now, the best approach to gambling is none other than to have fun and also to fill your free time. Even though you see people who are too maniacal and too crazy about gambling, you shouldn't be in their position either because I'm sure you know what dangerous things haunt people like that.

Professional gamblers does exist but it is limited to few type of games only such as poker and sports betting. These professional gamblers make a living from their gambling activity especially professional poker players by participating in various tournaments with huge prize pool. Of course, although they are professional players but there is no guarantee that they will always make money from every tournament. They must have lost some money as well but professional players know how to spend their money responsibly.

We keep spending money because it's a dual-core for most of us, we can't stop leaving to our best every single day, atleast we'll be having 1-2 incredible outcomes. The gambling system is here to make good uses of our losses but its also our job to prevent that from happening. Professional gamblers are experienced and knows how to tackled down the top challenges coming their path. Gambling on the wrong side wouldn't take any hits, it's been one of the greatest moments to assigned one of the good running profits.

Yes, of course that is undoubtedly true, Gambling owners are the most likely to succeed in their gambling career. I don't know if there is any fraud or trickery for the owners of these casinos.

As for individuals who gamble, they should consider gambling as an entertainment game. Do not see this as a place to make your career. Those who are successful in playing this game, luck has blessed them. Even good players are just losers if they don't have luck. Personally, I find that not being addicted to gambling is truly a success for me. And people are playing this game of chance.

[bakasabo]

Of course some individuals can become successful in gambling and make or call it as their career. In general I see this situation as following: someone has spent a lot of money and dedicated a lot of time to gambling, managed to win enough to stop working on a regular job and think about money till retirement or death. He calls that as a career and quit. This means, anyone who gamble regularly and manages to win enough money (which is quite problematic, as people are greedy) can be considered as having a career. Since only few are lucky to win jackpots, I would say that it is close to impossible to call it as a career.

If we can make gambling a career or job, then now there are many people who say that they work as gamblers, but I have never heard anyone say they work as a gambler, which means this has invalidated the OP's question, unless they who own casinos, that's a different story, because they're doing business in a gambling hall, not gambling.
It would be very strange if someone thought they could do gambling as a career or job. Work is an activity that will bring in money, whereas when gambling we have to spend money first and even then the risk of losing is very large.
From the start, we have said that it is best to make gambling an activity just for fun. We only need to bring money that we can afford to lose and play gambling. It is a safe way to enjoy gambling, because if we think gambling can be a career or job, then we will always chase winning, and that is the wrong thing to do. Because once again the risk of losing is greater than the chance of winning.

The house always wins. But things have changed, man. Streamers are gambling's new warriors. They perform, not just play. And guess what? They're winning big from the spectacle, not the bets.

Meanwhile, ordinary people put real money in those slots? Still losing. We all know the odds are against us. It's the basic craving for mayhem in our humdrum existence. While the house rakes it in, streamers entertain us like modern jesters.

If you're rich and in control, gambling is merely another way to kill time. Most folks don't have that opportunity. They fixate on a dream the system kills. Don't we love watching the drama unfold? Through those streams, we experience the commotion without the risk.

Being addiction-free is enough gambling success, indeed. This has to change the context of this thread; people shouldn't think success revolves around making consistent money via gambling. We all know it's impossible to win all the time. Making it out of addiction is a success. A gambler can be successful in multiple ways, not just about money. If he consistently meets up with the requirements of his strategy, he'd be considered successful in that aspect. Players who only think of making gambling a career should think of a company where they get paid to use their money to run the company, with the promise that they'll win big sometime, someday.

The false gambling information or message passed down to new gamblers is so convincing that they accept it as true. And they go ahead to try it out but get disappointed, finally. Unfortunately, they can't do anything about it, the blame is on them for not picking up the responsibility for their actions. Gambling is fun, but too much of it isn't. Let's say a person gambles every day as a career, he'd get tired of it over time. Not being able to associate with loved ones, meet new friends, etc. is all parts of the world that make this place a better place. Hence, taking up gambling as a career isn't encouraged. It's a boring career, nobody should be encouraged to try it out.

Casino owners are into business, and they have invested their money, and that is why they are making money out of their investment. It is a secured investment, because it is a company and they render service to the public. Which service does a gambler offer to the casino that will make him be successful. Rather, he is after the casino funds, and this is why they keep on playing and playing even when losing.

Those gamblers that became successful through gamble, never took it as a full time job, that their lives depend on it. They were just gambling for fun, and never thought they could win big, but their luck came in play and they won big. Those gamblers also invested the money from their wins, and that is why they were successful. Whoever wins big, and continue gambling will become broke again. Gamble can only sustain you in a short period of time, and not for a lifetime.
