Can somebody make a successful career in gambling

[rodskee]

Huge capital is usually required in business and not in making a career. Making a career in gambling by doing gambling is insane thinking and i am sure anyone who has been gambling for some time, knows the fact that only luck is the main factor that makes the gamblers successful and no career and business can be built on luck only.

Yes, if you have a lot of capital, why not open your own casino? This is the only possible way where one can get a grantee income but remember, it will require a lot of capital to start such a business and also experience of running a casino also matters a lot.

Unfortunately the ratio of gamblers winning in gambling is low when compared to winning ratio of the house. So its good idea to build a house that will generate a secure income rather then losing all you have in gambling.
We dont have much stories of people who have made fortune out of gambling. That's why its not a wise decision to adopt gambling as career. Gambling should only be taken as leisure activity and its addiction must always be avoided. 

well at least OP is asking about "Somebody" means just few is enough to
answer the question and indeed that there are some that make gambling as  a career though
you are also correct that majority are losers and not even crossing 1/4 of the total gamblers
that wins than losing.

[Docnaster]

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?

This is highly dependent on your definition of career. The first question you have to ask yourself is whether gambling is actually a career path. Some can argue that since career entails or progress through life or history. In gambling there is a process and there is also a history but then is it worthy to be called a career?

Let's examine the legal and ethical aspects of this and make our independent judgement. We can all agree that in some country, gambling is prohibited, which means it is illegal. In some other countries it is legal but not ethical. In both situations we can agree that gambling is not a noble profession or career. So, it doesn't make sense to build a career around something that the society is not proud of.

Howbeit, if anyone wants to build a career path around gambling, they should chose to either be a streamer, gambling site UX/UI designer, reviewer or the owner himself. There are other means of earning through gambling apart from gambling yourself.

Yes, it's true. More losses than wins which is a fact. It takes thousands of bets in a casino game before you can hit a big multi-win. Sadly, most of the time that multi-win that we won will just cover all the losses from the thousands of bets that we made, worse, it's not even enough.
When it comes to sports betting, it can be done, more wins. As long as the sports gambler does know what he is doing. I am not saying he can 100 percent accurately predict the outcome of the game but just increasing the chance to win is good enough to make a possible profit every day or every game.
Yeah, I'd suggest just looking for a real job instead too. I have not seen a gambler who made his life better by doing it every day. I have seen lucky ones who hit a jackpot and changed their life but never as a daily habitual thing like a day job.
This is the reason why when I play casino games I try the high-risk bets with high returns because I don't want to be wasting my time playing a safe game with x2 - x3 returns only and will call it a day. I don't bet high amounts because honestly, I don't want to spend too much money on gambling. It's not worth it. Just play the game and enjoy it.

If they need thousands of bets before they can get a win, it won't be worth it to keep doing it because it means they will have to use a larger amount of money than they imagined. But some gamblers still want to try because they want to win, so they don't give up before they win. When we win, we will feel happy, but that feeling of joy is not enough because we still have to earn some more money to cover the losses we have experienced. And yes, if a person knows a lot about sports, he may have a higher chance of winning his bet because he can choose the team that can win. And if he can collect his winnings well and not be greedy, he can get more of his winnings. But all of them require self-control because they often become greedy and expect big wins, so they don't stop gambling but continue placing bets on other matches. Maybe that's what makes many people want to try to build a career in gambling because they see how people can win even though they don't know what that person is preparing to do so they can win.

And yes, having a real job will be very helpful for people because they can make money and have a good career path. If they can work well, they will get a promotion from their superiors to move up and get an even bigger salary. Compared to gambling, having a job will be more promising for someone to make money and build their career.

The thing is that you don't know when you are going to win.

You can win in your first bet. Or on your 100th, or never.

That's just how probabilities work, you never know what's going to happen, you only know the odds, but the actual results can vary.

[I_Anime]

I'm not sure if betting is something you can take as career unless you are  the owner of the casino  you taking betting as an career is very risky and you can easily endup getting addicted to it pretty fast. And that may cause alot of losses beause be betting like always and is luck so not something you can easily hit the jackpot. That gambling mostly good for side hustle not for career because you taking as a side hustle will make you to always do responsible gambling. Event though you loss you can easily cover up with other jobs payments

Yes, that's true, and it keeps people trying and hoping they can win someday. They may not count how much money they have used to gamble and lost at gambling. They just want to win from gambling. But to get success in gambling is difficult, and we don't know how much money we have to use before we can be successful at gambling. And possibility after possibility of winning will continue to make us try, especially if we still want to achieve that success. We should be able to respond wisely so that we don't experience large losses.

I believe that there are some people out there who have been successful in gambling, even if it's a little but there are still some. Not everyone who gambles ends up becoming an addict, some have fun, others are serious about gambling, that's why we have people called professionals, but not all professionals become successful. I believe in luck and sure someone got that luck.

The player has some funds to win through gambling. Unless the casino has no provably fair feature or operates a 100% house edge, the gambler has some percent to win in every $100 they wager in a casino. Depending on how well they try to wager the money. Not talking about a player who wagers his money at once. Those who want to target the reward per $1000 wager, can be staking $50 - $100. Players looking at $100 can focus on wagering smaller amounts like $5 or $10 to enjoy their game till it gets to that threshold. However, it is not made to look this way in the casino, but the house knows a way of rewarding players, to keep them in the casino, thereby making more money for the house. If a gambler doesn't win at all, he won't be energized or motivated to gamble again. So, a gambler who's determined to take gambling as a career must know the house edge and the provably fair of the casino they want to make their office.

It's encouraged that the gambler starts up with a good amount of money and wagers accordingly to extend his days of gambling and increase his possibility of not running out of money. Given time he'll be earning some money to add up his existing bankroll. Thereby enjoying extra days of gambling. If he's well calculative he won't run out of money. But, the player needs to have spent years mastering the act of gambling, to consider gambling a retirement plan or a form of career for the long term. He may not expect to earn more profit, the gambler will not be in profit but can maintain his money not to finish. Moreover, if a gambler is not organized or has the skill to manage his money or be carried away to lose control of his plans, he should venture into such a risky game as a business. But the possibility is there to make a career in gambling.

I have seen some people who have made a career out of gambling and already own a lot of money. But they have built a big mountain of money from gambling so when they lose it counts as very little money. Gambling can be an uncertain and risky way to make money where your money and life are at risk. Because there are many people who are losing gambling and dying. But there is risk in all business in this world so gambling should not be blamed there and you should learn to take full risk then you should gamble.

Although there are many who admit that it is possible to make a career in gambling or make a good living, I would say in this case that it is almost extremely difficult. Those who accept this believe that if one can get a good idea of the player and their performance in a particular sportsbook, as well as the conditions of the pitch or field where they will be playing, if one can accurately research the conditions, then one can win in gambling. But I don't totally agree with them because in recent times sports betting is unpredictable who will win or lose. Even the good team lose the match with the bad ones. So making a career by gambling is naturally difficult.

Everyone that accept gambling as a career always have their tricks and logic used in betting. Although, betting may be unpredictable this days but if you use your tricks and logic that works for you well, you will still definitely make a way in gambling. Greediness is what normally kills most gamblers. If this can be avoided, one will still make good money from gambling. Although this doesn't mean that one can make a successful career in gambling, gambling can just be added to ones way of making just like a side hustle thing.

[Iroh]

I think gambling addiction starts when we consider it a recreation and that's when the bookie starts running his tricks to at least give us a win and in the end after getting a few wins of course then  addiction will start to spread in our brain.

On the contrary, an addiction in gambling would be quite hard to achieve if you consider gambling to be a recreational activity in which you sparingly indulge yourself in.
And I doubt the bookies have any control on the outcome of matches played. So I don’t know how they would get tricky and allow one to win a few before bringing the hammer down.

Obviously, the drive to win back the monies spent would cross your mind. That’s not an addiction. It’s only natural to want to win more than you lose. But we should have a limit and know just when to stop playing. That way, we could keep addiction at bay.

What do you all think?

If you're talking about making a killing while you're gambling with money, then I have bad news for you. No one was ever able to make a safe income stream just from gambling, besides those in the Pro Scene, and some of them are sponsored by their teams and endorsements in the first place, so the money that they got isn't even from gambling per se. You could look into being a gambling streamer like TrainWrecksTV but I wouldn't advise it as he's often seen spending upwards of a million dollars in and out of stream, just from gambling alone. So from there you'd realize you're going to be in a really precarious gambling addiction situation if you were to take this path.

You can also look into working for a casino, but it has its own sets of caveats as well, like dealing with the constant suicide attempts of most of your patrons for one.

For gamblers whose only intention is to have fun, I think the risk is none of them. Risk only enters a gambler if the motive and intention are to get a profit from it or get a jackpot. In short, they think it is a source of income.

Then I don't seem to see any career in gambling except maybe playing poker, billiards, and boxing, but the games that are slots, baccarat, and blackjack—I don't think that these games I mentioned can be considered a career.

It's not advisable to make gambling fulltime job because it doesn't make sense at all and not reliable, you will always keep hope heightened. Getting a fulltime job that pays quite good figures is scarce these days but the one we're seeing available, I've no doubt than working with my entire destined and good energy. Nothing is too easy or too hard for these gamblers to do because it's been really difficult for most of these gamblers out there and have also been so smooth for most them. We can never have the estimated equilibrium of the members depending on gambling as a means for survival while we're quite understandable and wouldn't want anything get a hold of our system.

A person can be a millenarian in gambling but I cannot consider him as a career. Because if there is no specific income in gambling then what kind of career i consider. Those who have extra income they can win if they try again and again after losing, but it is difficult for other small gamblers in this situation. Moreover, gambling is not an activity where a person will get more income from gambling at some point if it continues for a long time. So gambling is not only for passive income but also for temporary enjoyment.

People should differentiate between gambling players and someone who has a career, gambling players cannot make a successful career because gambling cannot be used as a source of permanent income, as we know that gambling is only created for entertainment for rich people to have fun with their money. , most people from a lower middle class economy always hope that gambling can make someone a successful career.

I think the context is just different because gambling is just a game that is played with money and that is all based on luck which will never come every day to give you big wins and money so it can't be said to be a job that can turn the game into a successful career. I think any game will still not make someone have a successful career here unless it is possible to work in a casino.

But the possibility is there to make a career in gambling.

Even though gamblers have the opportunity to win from a certain percentage of the money used to gamble, they still have the opportunity to lose or even lose all their money. This is what gamblers must realize, especially since they already know that they cannot possibly beat the house because the house is the business owner. Gamblers can only choose the bet amount they can afford and then enjoy gambling, and if they win, they should not continue gambling again in pursuit of bigger wins. A gambler who doesn't win will become curious about why he can't win and try gambling again another day. It has happened to many people, even those who want to make gambling their career will experience losing even more money.

If gamblers don't realize that gambling is not a career, they will only encounter failure, and even if they keep trying hard, they will not succeed. That is why if there are people who still want to make gambling their career, they should think about the risks and what will happen to them. If they were wise, they would not make gambling a career but would only make gambling a part of their entertainment. They would prefer to enjoy gambling as entertainment because they do not have to lose more money, and also they can stop whenever they want. He can also manage his money well and will not spend a lot of money just to gamble because that is not his goal in gambling.

making gambling a job  just like the ridiculous mindset of gamblers who misunderstand how gambling works unless they consider gambling as a job if they can become employees in the business, but if you are a gambler you have that mindset, it's definitely not possible.

on one hand, gambling is just place of entertainment for those who want to spend little money to have fun, but sometimes gamblers have the wrong understanding that gambling should be considered place of entertainment but instead consider it to make money while ignoring that the casino always wins.
I fully support your opinion. It is not recommended for anyone who considers gambling as a job and if you want to make profit from gambling, it is better to build your own casino or become an employee at a gambling establishment, of course it highly recommended.

Yes gambling can never be an a person  carrier. Gambling is a fun only if you take gambling seriously as a source of income or as a carrier then you are very foolish. If you use gambling only for fun, you will have real fun in gambling because there will be losses in gambling that no one can avoid. So using gambling only for fun is gambling as much as we can afford to lose. Never consider gambling as a career

There is a small group of people that can make gambling their main occupation as they can obtain profits out of it, however this is not easy to do at all and most of those that know how to do that keep the secret as they do not want to share their methods with anyone, however even those people live an unstable life as casinos do not like them at all and they get sooner or later banned as they are bad for business, so it is not really a lifestyle which most people can maintain for long even if they want to.
