Can somebody make a successful career in gambling

[leonair]

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?

Gambling is not a job or a business.  But if you can build a casino site and take it to a good level. In that case it can make you a career.  But no one can ever make a career by gambling on any casino site. And to choose it as full time is very stupid. Because gambling will never give you a steady income.  And even if you win something from here, you will lose multiples of it later. So I never think and believe that gambling can be one's career

[LesterD]

I'm not sure if anyone aside from me considers it as a career, but I think the influencers who are getting paid to promote gambling sites can consider as a successful career. It's a career where they attract people to gamble on their website. If we only consider a betting career in gambling, some influencers may be gambling sometimes on those websites without thinking about the money because they will get paid in the end.

[Ojima-ojo]

Making gambling a full time job and a career is definitely possible but not advisible, and this is because, gambling does not offer one a consistent winning, that is, making steady income from gambling is not in any way guaranteed, this is why it is very difficult, or rather risky, to solely depend only on money made from gambling to cater for one's needs and expenses, most especially, for a family man or woman who has children and other people to feed and cloth.

For someone who have time to gamble, there will be time also to run a business, even if it's a small one, it's better to have a business as a major source of income and then gambling as a side hustle, since like I said before, gambling does not guarantee a steady flow of income, but some businesses do.

No one can ever make a career out of gambling, no matter how experienced a gambler he is. There are times when gambling will be profitable depending on luck and there will be times when a gambler will lose all his wealth in the hope of gambling.  No one can own money forever. It seems that no one can in the future. There are people who can control themselves and gamble because they can only make some money from gambling and keep it.

[Onyeeze]

Gambling is not a job and should never be treated as such.

As long as there is still a chance of you losing and not being in control of your predictions it will never be suitable for a career and unlike trading where you can improve your knowledge and skills and eventually helps you perform more trades efficiently gambling is not like that since 90% of it is based on luck.

And rather than waste your time looking for means to make gambling a means to earn passively (which would make some results into using some unethical means to achieve it) I’d advise you look for a skills that can later be monetized that’s far more better than betting on luck.

How can you call gambling a job, gambling never be a job because it doesn't have an official earning and mostly some people get discouraged because of gambling due to if they expect that they will make money and after their predictions it turns negative to them, so therefore I believe that gambling is not what a family person will depend to survive or Carter for the welfare of the family, actually we suppose to be considering gambling as way of entertainment and a way in which we are suppose make sure we keep ourselves happy, so we are not supposed to be depending in gambling, the thing that make people to be addicted in gambling is due to over confidence depending on gambling.

[irhact]

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.

If a gamblers wants to make gambling a full time profession then he has to be playing all types of games and not specialized on only one type of games as some times that specific game mightn't favor him and he need to try others games for him to make profits but I don't think it'll be wise to choose gambling as a career choice. Gambling should be something we do for entertainment and not something we depend on to make money as it'll disappoint us.

I haven't seen any individual that made profits every time that he gambles. All types of games can't be won everything so what will the professional gambler do when he can't make money from gambling. Any individual doing this is putting pressure on himself that can make him turn into an addict and starts betting irresponsibly that will make him lose more money than he's making and over betting as well because he needs to win to have money for upkeeps.

[KiaKia]

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.

[masulum]

I just feel like only a lazy person will want to adopt gambling as a full time job because I am not sure why will any person want to make money for life on assumption and probability, something that may never come should never be a career in life.

Not so, someone can make gambling their main job, it happened, and the story was also filmed. The difference is, he has enough money and good mathematical calculations to increase his chances of winning. However, his work is only limited to lotteries, not other types of gambling. This means, this is not just because he is lazy, but he can see an opportunity to make a profit from a loophole in the system. Of course this is not for anyone to imitate. It would be better if we didn't focus too much on gambling as a career, because this can drain money faster than profit if can't manage wisely.

What do you all think?

I love to gamble and I've been betting on football matches for a long time. I made my first bet with my father when I was 15, and I still bet with him. But I don't think I'll ever be able to make a living and a regular income from gambling. I see gambling only as a means of entertainment. For example, let's say I go to watch a game. I bet a small amount on the game and it becomes more fun for me. Usually the amount I bet is the equivalent of a small cup of coffee. Because I see gambling only as a form of entertainment, I don't think I will ever have a successful career as a gambler.

Influencers and gamblers are clearly different because the influencer's job is to invite people to join with or without using their link. They promote gambling sites and can make a successful career, but when compared to gamblers, gamblers cannot make a career. In fact, they will lose a lot of money. Becoming an influencer is a good choice for those who want to make a career, but they must have a lot of loyal followers who will follow the influencer and watch live broadcasts or videos they make. It may be better to be an influencer than a gambler because the casino may provide an account for them along with money to start gambling.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

A gambling career will not be achievable for everyone, but if you work as a gambling company staff member, you have the potential for a sustainable career. There are many positions that can be chosen for a career in a gambling company, but if you have a career by being an active gambler, I'm not sure whether that can be called a career or just a gambler. Maybe the only option is to become an affiliate. Moreover, if he becomes an active gambler, I think this is not a career, considering that there is a possibility that he will not get any income.

I absolutely agree with you, and just as you have said, I think a gambling career can be archived if the person is a staff member in a casino; apart from that, being a gambler is not considered a career. For example, an artist who sings can be considered a career, but does that actually mean that people who listen to the music of those artists can be classified as people who have a career in music? No! Does it actually pay to listen to music on your phone? No!. So, I conclude by saying that who ever thinks that gambling (placing bets) is a career? I doubt if that's true.

Exactly, influencers don't risk money to earn with their chosen career which is different from gambling that there is no guarantee to make money. Influencers are paid to make videos, attract new gamblers, and do this cycle repeatedly until they get more people to gamble. A career or a job they can treat as a stable source of income unlike in gambling.
Earning money in gambling depends on luck and skill in exchange for risking their own money which is opposite to what the influencers do.

great comparison ,  some of the people I know that succeed in gambling are some are Casino Dealers and some are cashiers that making their way to live using gambling as main source of living.
also they are trying to extend their earning by offering gamblers Loan when in casino  and yes they can put huge interest , some are even loaning their car and expensive watches.but aside from that there are only few that becomes having a good living from gambling.

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.

[Dewi Aries]

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.

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.
