Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job

[iv4n]

Why you need to ask the community when it comes to experience?

Because many of us have a different experience... And I think that every experienced gambler will tell you the same, with lucky-based games it's almost impossible to be profitable in the long run. We are in the circle, we win and lose all the time, but mostly lose probably...

But when it comes to some skilled gambling games as poker and sports betting the chances of being profitable in the long run are much higher. Of course, good analytic skills, and patience to wait for the right moment to act are essential, and some people possess these skills.

From the perspective of what I have learned about gambling, I would personally like to say that gambling is not really a full-time career. It can be played just for fun in addition to my work but if I don't think it's my profession to win a match then maybe that idea is wrong. If I talk about sports betting then suppose you bet on a match and you win and by betting on that match you earn 10 dollars with a capital of 50 dollars. But when you lose $50 on the next match, will it be safe for you to choose gambling as a full-time career? Gambling is safe for you only when you have an alternative profession.

It's difficult though there are people who deals with it as professions  but it's not easy to depend as full time as the outcome is not always be at your favor, if you treat it as source of entertainment pressure is not that much but as profession there are many things that you needed to consider,  lots of knowledge and research to deal with to make it  happen but still risk is high and  not everyone can deal on it.

Choosing gambling as a career is never an option and that's a mistake, the op question is not a new thing have seen alot of jobless people who are into gambling and the worst part they have make gambling an everyday habit like an addict, should we say they have decided to make gambling their full time job, yes of course they have choosed their part and we don't have the right to condemn them that's there decision to make.
From my observation people who have decided to make gambling a full time job they always face financial problem, that's why we hear stories like taking loan to gambling etc, what do we except, gambling doesn't give the full assurance of you winning even if the person is an expert there's no assurance

In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to be doing. Of course if you have a goal to earn then usually the situation will be reversed and instead defeat and downturn will dominate you, that's because the final result always depends on how lucky you are at that time, so with this alone can actually be a strong reason why someone should not make this activity a place to earn and make a profession, it's  too dangerous.

And yes that's right, if you have the goal of wanting to earn then it's better to just choose gambling that is not too high risk like skill-based such as sports or poker games like you mentioned, because it's not just luck that can determine for a good enough result but you also  there you can use skills and analysis to increase your chances of luck to be closer, and I think it's better to get involved in skill-based gambling only if you understand the world of sports, it's better so that you don't always depend on luck completely.

Yeah... I'd definitely think hard before chasing a job in gambling.  Way better choices out there without that kinda risk.  Sure, some folks say they make bank just placing bets, but that ain't most.  Truth is, most gamblers lose their shirt after a while.

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!

If you ask me personally, I will answer no. however, I cannot confirm with members in the community or even outside our community. but what is certain is that there is such a thing as a professional gambler. Thus, we can interpret it in general that there may be some out there who make gambling a permanent income or as you said in this thread. Whether it's successful or not, I can't guarantee or even know. in fact, we have heard of several gamblers who were successful and became rich because of it. regarding the process they went through, we will never know.

Well, now I will take an example from myself. In gambling games, there is one thing that I really understand, in fact I studied it thoroughly regarding things related to gambling diligently. However, I never considered that what I was doing could be a side income. In fact, I wouldn't think of quitting my job and focusing on one type of gambling that I could consider to have mastered. even though in reality, it is based on experience, insight and also knowledge. Looks like I might do it.
but as you said, in gambling nothing is certain, everything depends on the final result, including the gambling that I like and even though I at least understand or can say I have mastered it, namely football. In the end, not all of my predictions are correct and accurate. There are times when I win the bet, there are times when I lose. Well, I think you have got the answer from my personal version.

Theoretically, it is in no way possible to practice gambling as a job, since it is a practice whose success depends on luck.  No one is always lucky.  The rule says that gambling is either for entertainment or as a result of addiction as a pathological behavioral habit.In general, you will not find anyone who advises you to have an income that is subject to the odds of luck.

There are exceptions.  If the gambling takes place on one of the games that is not subject to the factor of luck alone, then it is likely that the gambler will succeed by using his own skills.  Let's say, for example, that someone is good at playing chess and is able to win bets playing chess, then he is most likely able to do this as a job.  There are many of them in the arenas of major cities who make money from betting on their chess matches.

The truth about gambling is that it has positively changed the status quo of a lot of persons. I mean people that were begging to eat but became millionaires through gambling but let's also not forget that gambling has rendered so many young people useless and more especially the gambling addicts. Personally, I think it absolutely unwise for anyone to engage in gambling as a means making a living out of it or seeing gambling as a profession that'll help improve one's financial status.

Gambling should be played for fun and when the person that's involved in it is always losing money, then the best thing to do is to quit but when the person is using it a means of livelihood and survival, the person will still want to gamble more even when he's losing  which will eventually turn the person to a gambling addict

[Hispo]

To me, it is possible to make a career off betting, if one has the enough knowledge and some of good luck to get money out of it in a constant way, but it is not something everyone can pull off, it is easier to say it than doing it.
It would be easier to try to capitalize a personal talent, get a job who can mostky enjoy, because whether we like it or not, the house will always have a leverage or edge against gamblers, meaning it is a very risk career to take. I would even dare to say those how rig games and matches (crime syndicates) are the most likely to earn off betting...
Sadly, this is an industry where in the long term, users are likely to lose their money, hence this is supposed to be treated as entertainment only.

But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?

the first thing you have to do is manage your mentally. You already know the risks you will face if want gambling as your career. Just choose the game that always makes you win and take a little risk. Just learn and focus only on that game, don't play too many games, choose 1 or 2 kinds of games so you understand, and minimize risks if you lose. Nothing is impossible, but because this is very risky You have to be ready if you don't raise the wind on every day.

[LDL]

Taking up gambling as a career would not make any sense to a sane person if properly considered. Gambling can never provide financial support to a family but enough to plunge the family into dire crisis. It contributes to various criminal problems such as social disorder on the one hand and criminal problems on the other. I have never seen a family of gambling addicts living happily and peacefully instead they live through various social problems. So when a sane person takes up gambling as a career, his education will be a complete failure.

[Nrcewker]

Definitely no. Gambling can’t be a full time job. The reason is very simple for this. Gambling is considered as game of luck and not skill. You can improve your skill by practising it, but your luck can’t be improved in any way. Hence when you are completely relying on something that is due to luck, chances are there that your luck won’t favour you. Yes sports betting is a mix of luck and skill, but still considering gambling as a full time job is really risky.

[Suzume]

Don't take gambling as a full time profession. Take it as a entanglement purpus you can say why you are suggesting that to not take it full time profession. Becose there is no garenty that gambling will give you profit everytime. It's risky your experience reduce the risk of gambling but it's truly risk to your economy if you fully depend on gambling. That's the reason do gambling for entertainment don't take it as profession.

Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job? if you do it for business like you have said before I think most of the gambling sites is profitable as long you dont have a program to make the user big win example. win 1 btc with 1000/1 you gonna rekt easly.

But as user I dont think gambling is a good profession, I mean as a user who plays gamble. If you do an advertising job like I did I think is still profitable and you can do it as a full-time job.

You me and what we are doing is not gambling it is signature campaign we are just doing promotion so here we will have an income. I think gambling should never be compared to any other job but it may be that you have other skills that you can work with gambling projects that will bring you a steady income. Moreover, I agree with you on other points that gambling should never be taken as a profession, but if someone has a lot of money, he can invest and open an online casino, but in this case, he needs to have a lot of knowledge about this related.

[TheUltraElite]

But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?

The only and only method to make gambling a career path is to be the casino's owner and not play in it.

Gambling is a business and that from the player's side is a net loss, so it cannot be a career path as a player - you might argue that poker players do. That is because their main income is not from the games but the affiliate marketing they get into, the promotions they launch and the stuff they sell. In between they play a bit to be on the camera and that too with different companies money added to their own money.
The first line is just another extension of the "If you cant beat 'em, Join 'em!"

[boyptc]

To the real gamblers, it is known that there is a possible career here.

It is like getting the opinion of no coiner people that gives their thought about if it is possible to make money and have a full time careed in Bitcoin.

So there you go, it is the same logic as that wirh gambling. and not real gamblers.

[coin-investor]

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.

If you are going and trying to make a living in gambling you should have something to back up you and you should be financially stable you just want this out of passion and you want to crack the code because of the challenges involved, it's emotionally draining and there's a possibility that it will leave you with an empty pocket, you also have to draw the line when you should stop, even if you have a mental stability your pocket could not keep up.

If not, please advise!

I could but behind the scenes as part of the gambling operation but against the house it is 50/50 and I will regret it later if I keep trying without the needed resources to back me up, everybody is discouraged from trying to beat the house and make a living in gambling, gambling is an entertainment platform and treating it differently will cost you a lot.

[lienfaye]

As a gambler? I don't think this can be called a career or a profession where a person can earn consistently. Unless you're not a gambler but a casino owner or one of the investor who have a shared profit from the casino's revenue.

Earning solely through playing is not profitable due to the house edge that can make the player lose regardless of how skillful or knowledgeable a gamblers are. Therefore, gambling should not be treated as a main source of income or a profession because it's not a reliable way to earn money for a living.

[bluebit25]

The issue  OP is discussing is about the factors that belong to regular players. In my opinion, it would be difficult to see this as a main job that brings income. Maybe some individuals are confident in their abilities but it is true. That only happens to a few people, most people play for relaxation or are addicts who are immersed in this sport.

I have come into contact with people involved in illegal gambling activities, but most of them ended up in prison. So is the trade-off between work, money, and gambling really worth it? Many people know it is wrong but still accept it. Perhaps greed or circumstances create it, but it is just a lack of blame and responsibility. I'm not too opinionated, but anyone who is capable of taking responsibility for their actions is as long as they want to do that kind of work.

If you are going and trying to make a living in gambling you should have something to back up you and you should be financially stable you just want this out of passion and you want to crack the code because of the challenges involved, it's emotionally draining and there's a possibility that it will leave you with an empty pocket, you also have to draw the line when you should stop, even if you have a mental stability your pocket could not keep up.

exactly, because there are so many temptations in gambling that gamblers will be tempted and lose control of emptying their pockets even though they already have a strong responsibility to gamble and can commit to the rules that have been made, usually they will occasionally be tempted by the bad things that exist in gambling.
so for gamblers who want to make gambling a profession to earn a living, there will be many obstacles that must be overcome because if they once make a mistake that violates their own rules, the gambler will definitely lose control and fail to make a profit.

btw, I am just surprised by people who think that gamblers want to use gambling as a place to earn daily income, whereas in general gambling is not a place to seek profit but luck and I also think why not make your own gambling machine instead of gambling with uncertain results.
maybe they think that it requires a lot of capital to make their own gambling machine, but I remember in this thread the initial sheet, someone said that a gambler tried to make a simple slot machine and placed it in a shopping center to get certain results and it did not require very large capital.

Yeah... I'd definitely think hard before chasing a job in gambling.  Way better choices out there without that kinda risk.  Sure, some folks say they make bank just placing bets, but that ain't most.  Truth is, most gamblers lose their shirt after a while.

In my opinion, it is not the right choice to make gambling a permanent job, because every time we have to place a bet, of course we need capital that we have to bring to be able to place a bet. Without having capital to bet, of course we cannot be able to gamble, so it would be better to think about the type Another job that can generate income is compared to gambling because it is not certain that we can win regularly to be able to generate income from these bets.
