Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job

[pinggoki]

My classmate was a guy of such sort. He really dedicated all his time to figuring out how to beat slot machines, exploring various loopholes. Nevertheless, he eventually ended up producing slot machines himself.

This is an example of how a dedicated gamer, spending a lot of time searching for the perfect strategy in the game and turning the game into his actual job, ultimately understood the system so well that he switched sides and stopped playing.

If only everyone is just like that, turning their passion into something that they can make a living out of, that's the most awesome feeling because not only are you not bored with your work or job, you're genuinely enjoying every moment of it which is the rarest kind of job, the one where a lot of people would probably kill to get a career out of or even leave their current high-paying job if they got the opportunity, that's how rare a job that you're passionate about is. For me though, I feel like it's a possibility that you can make gambling as your profession but I believe that it's not for everyone and the luck that everyone innately possess is pretty different so you might not be fit for it but that's how it is when you're trying to make gambling as your profession, you sometimes found out the hard way the answer to that question or if you're one of the lucky few, you might find something else.

someone might become a professional gambler, they could take up the profession of playing poker, or other games related to skill. there are many examples of people who have made gambling their profession, but achieving this is not easy because it requires time, experience and luck, so not everyone can and is capable of making gambling a full-time profession.

and i think full time gamblers are those who can manage their money well because even professional gamblers don't want to throw away their other sources of income and focus completely on gambling. they understand that gambling is a risky thing and they need other sources of income to cover their needs or a capital for gambling. and hence these gamblers can rest assured gambling without having to worry about money because they have another source of income running that gives them money.

The reason why many people are interested in gambling activities is because there is a win in it. Gamblers are well aware
There are risks there, but there are other events they want to get from gambling that make them willing to spend some of their time at gambling places.
When faced with something that is speculative, you should not expect full, steady income because every game is always based on hope. Bookies have certain goals in running their business, one of which is not to go bankrupt, so they have set up a system in the casino so that their business always runs smoothly.

Gambling is full of uncertainty, so you should not make gambling a profession or full time job.

For people who are addicted to gambling, they only see it in terms of winning and they are also aware of all the risks in gambling, but they still play without the rules and limitations that they actually have to do.
Good suggestions and advice, bro, but can gamblers do all that when they are in a gambling place and see a gambling game that they think will benefit them? I think only a handful of people understand it.

Of course, there must be a goal behind the gambling business owned by the bookie company, namely wanting to make more money and avoid bankruptcy, even though it uses playing tricks to attract the attention of gamblers. and this is where we can determine for ourselves whether we gamblers are interested in it or not.

[Raflesia]

But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?
If so, why?
If not, please advise!

It may be out there for people who are like that and try to continue to dedicate themselves to gambling and try so that they get benefits or as a career so that their economy is guaranteed from gambling but for me personally I don't really agree with this.
The reason is a bit classic because we must be aware of our abilities and the resources we have. When making gambling as a career in my opinion this will only make our lives a betting material and I do not want my life to be used as a guarantee for the future bets that I make in gambling.

On the other hand, gambling can indeed be a career if we are only behind the scenes of the casino and consider this as a business but for those of us who are in fact a player, such things will be very difficult to realize especially if we only rely on desperate capital to do this so I think we have to think more clearly to make gambling a career in the life we live.

I'd like to clarify that this topic is distinguished from businesses or entrepreneurs involved in gambling as businesses, such as casino companies, etc., but with a focus on gamblers. I know there are many people who regard themselves as professionals at playing gambling games, but do you ever think that one can make gambling a full-time job and career because of his or her deep knowledge of the games? Can someone bet with little or no loss because it is one of the most unpredictable games to play?

Gambling to my understanding, is a trial-and-error game with uncertain outcomes, unpredictability, and luck. Therefore, professional gamblers must exhibit a deeper than usual understanding of the games, the statistical probabilities, and a high level of risk management skills.

However, it is critical to realize the risks involved, which include unstable financial circumstances and potential addiction problems. So, pursuing a gambling career should be approached with serious caution, and gamblers ought to be well-informed about the accompanying problems. Furthermore, I believe that having various sources of income and taking calculated risks will be highly beneficial.

But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?
If so, why?
If not, please advise!

You can become a professional gambler but you have to be careful with it. You can't become a professional slots gambler or dice gambler, this is impossible because house is always the winner, your strategy can't change the outcome of 2+2=4. Your strategy can't make it 5. But you can build a career around Poker. Poker is a game that involves a combination of luck and skill. Luck alone is not enough to win, you need skills, you need to know when to bluff, when to be honest, etc. A friend of money loved poker so much that he become a professional poker player and is a member of a poker team sponsored by local casino. He often goes in poker tournaments and is totally sponsored, has a salary too.

        -   You mean playing poker is considered a profession? Is that what you mean, mate? That's why many people go crazy playing poker compared to other gamblers here in crypto gambling. Because, apart from being a profession, you can be rich and earn a lot of money.

I have a cousin who used to be a professional billiard player; he competes nationwide here in our country, but now I found out that he competes nationwide in our country in poker, and he has a manager who handles him and has made it his profession and career.

Something that is not predictable should not be considered as a way of making a living. You can never be sure what to come next. How can you rely on something like that? And to put your life on the line for something like this is not advisable. You may win some but you will also lose some. And in case of emergency, you may never get help for it.

Most of the people become addicted to gambling. And when they become addicted to it, they most likely lose more than winning. It happens because they put money on the line and for that reason, they make emotional decisions. Thus they become addicted to it. You can't follow the rules when money is on the line no matter how much you try.

It is not only in case of an emergency, but perhaps about having responsibilities towards a family or financial obligations and making gambling a profession is doomed to fail. If anyone claims to have done that, that's fine by me, but please do not spread the message to others that there is an easy way to make a living with gambling if they follow advice from some self-proclaimed gambling guru. There are so many platforms advertising with the "secret tips" how someone can become rich doing this or that while gambling.

Of course, whoever it is will never be able to successfully make gambling as a profession for their main income, even I think professional gamblers will not have this mindset, this is too impossible and risky, there is nothing more prominent than the risk of losing large amounts and it has been proven by the fact that usually someone will experience more losses than wins, and also on the other hand the fact that the victory they always expect is not a fact that always happens but only a hallucination that comes out of their minds because they have too high hopes.

Making easy money in gambling will only happen when you are really lucky but on the other hand do you know when luck will come? the answer is no, luck will run randomly and cannot be known, which is why we cannot make gambling a place to earn because the level of risk is greater while winning only depends on your luck. So the other thing is don't trust anything that comes along that looks like it might be tempting, it could be advice or anything else.

Maybe you could even say that once someone considers himself a professional gambler producing steady income from gambling only, that person might already have a problem. I think it has been said here somewhere, but the poker players are representative cases. They win some big tournaments, call themselves professional poker players afterwards and out of a sudden they stay out of luck for several years in a row. I wonder where that designation "professional" finds its justification then?

[rojan]

Yes advertising on gambling sites such as various article publicists, influencing or signature campaigns can be a type of job and can be considered a full time job but gambling is not considered a job. So it is not right to consider or accept it as full time or part time job.  Meanwhile should be taken only as fun. Otherwise gambling addiction can lead to death for you. Gambling does not guarantee profit to anyone so choosing gambling as a job is a big mistake. So you should always keep this in mind

When I started gambling I made good amount of money for a few days. Then I thought of taking up gambling as a career. Later when I realized that there is no guarantee of winning in gambling, I now take up gambling as a hobby.  There are many rules to follow when gambling, such as never getting excited while gambling. Whenever you start gambling with excitement, it won't take long to lose money.

[bakasabo]

It is incorrect to call gambling as a job. This is just the way you spend time. Why gambling isnt job? When you work at regular job, you get paid for work you've done. If gambling is work, then why for work done you can get zero? At work we dont risk our salary to get salary by the end of day, month or shift. I dont know why people keep discussing such banal things. Gambling isnt a profession. It is impossible to go to work and earn minus money.

Professional gamblers won large amounts and allow themselves not to work. They might win again, rarely, under special circumstances, not often. When "full-time job" means you work and earn every day. Impossible to win daily in gambling.

Your classmate probably understood that it's impossible to beat slot machines unless you are a developer and know a secret code but such a thing doesn't exist today, does it? Instead, he built a slot machine. This doesn't make him a dedicated gambler but a person who is dedicated to build and pursue career in gambling industry. He either become a slot machine technician, developer, designer or something familiar.

By the way, you can make gambling as your profession if you stream slots and are getting paid for streaming or play poker or you are a Drake sponsored by Stake and get paid for betting. I can't imagine any other ways to build a professional career or just a career around it.

That is why usually beginners are very prone to make a lot of mistakes whether it is in terms of their methods or mindset, as you said that the initial stage you are involved in gambling you will always or at least be given a few wins but that is very good and with that you or anyone will feel that you have found the right way to make money easily, whereas on the other hand such a situation is very natural for most gamblers where the initial stage they will be given a win and all the negative effects at the end initially come from the win you feel at the beginning.

So after that they will think as you say, which is to make gambling their place of income, but I see here fortunately you can quickly realize about the real facts in gambling which is that this activity is always nothing more than luck that can determine a pretty good result, Because if you are late and do not realize it at all then obviously all the initial victory is like a dream that is not easy to return, with the wrong mindset like that then you will lose more money than earn, because obviously with the wrong mindset and high expectations then you will make more experiments and that is why many have lost large amounts. Yes, that's right, so it's better to make gambling for fun.

That's just it. You can never make it a profession. One day your luck is very high and the other day it's down to earth kissing the grass. If you can't trust something the next minute, how can you trust that for the rest of your life? Our life depends on earning money and we need it for survival. We can't just leave that responsibility on something that we can't trust ourselves.
Just try something else OP. There are other opportunities available for making a living. Don't waste your life on something like gambling. It's for entertainment purposes if you can afford it. So go work so you can afford it and then try it.

Actually some one can take up a professional in gambling but then it will take a lot than the regular, his mind set have to be very different from the mindset of regular gamblers as this will turn out his edge as a professional, he will not be looking out for instant flipping of his account size.

Firstly since the person is now trying to make a profession out of it, firstly he must employ a strategy if not he may not succeed at it. This strategy will include his discipline, risk management and money management, all these are to keep him in check not to turn out an addict which will definitely jeopardize his career gambling. One strategy I suggest and think works better is that of compounding profits and seeing what you get monthly and not expecting to hit the gold mine at once in a day.

For novice gamblers, it seems normal that they can make a lot of money for a few days, but after that, they will lose as much or even more than they win. And the longer they gamble, the more difficult it will be for them to make money again, and it will be different from when they first gambled. That is why they should not make gambling their career, especially if they cannot control themselves well because there will be moments where you can lose self-control because of gambling. There are many rules that gamblers must follow so that they do not lose a lot of money and become addicted to gambling. But only a few can learn it, while others only experience more losses.

Well, it was clear to us that some become successful in gambling and some are not. For many reasons, too hard to think about considering gambling as our full-time job but of course, we can consider this as a way of pleasing ourselves from stress.

I'm not sure how the other works on their life and become a successful gambler because even asking them and following what they have said, we can't assure that we can be successful as well. And probably it is because they were destined to such profession while most of us do not.

Yeah, gamblers should be aware of this "it won't take long to lose money". As long as there is no guarantee of being able to make money every day from gambling, then gambling cannot be used as a full time job. Realizing that there is no guarantee that a win in gambling can avoid big losses.
Making gambling a hobby is better than promoting greed in the hope of winning continuously. When you gamble just to channel your hobby, you can easily control yourself when the situation is unlucky.

There's no assurance indeed, even you will listen to what they said and try following their patterns the outcome might not be the same, we can't predict what future will be for us, and for my own take, treating gambling as regular source of income will be far from reality, not good in controlling my emotions and I'm always a fan of yoloing when I feel that it's time for me to leave the house,

most of the time I lose everything inside my bankroll though there's some occasion that I win and enjoy treating myself but counting the numbers is incomparable to the amount of money I lose while playing.

You said correctly, a professional begins to earn money when sponsorship money appears, but I’m not sure whether such a result can be achieved on one’s own. Now everything related to professional sports can bring very good profits, but for this you need to become a useful participant in this system, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to achieve success on your own.

Many bloggers, various channel groups survive thanks to advertising, there is no secret in this, everything is arranged. If you can bring users, you will make money from it.

yes I could not agree more here and everyone who knows something about gambling also knows that you can have some amazing days and you think you developed the golden formula, and from one day to the next you are losing all the time despite having done all the analysis and research etc. Gambling is called gambling for a reason. When you only take the word and connect it to "professional", putting the words "gambling" and professional" together seems to be a contradiction, doesn't it?

Like "I am a professional lottery player"...

Well, not for us maybe but other locals here in my place do this as a source of income though not online gambling but the odds of losing is the same and very high. My friends also do this with basketball, they usually go to other villages to find matches and then place bet and most of the time they win though not considered as profession as majority of them were students but they bring money back home.
