Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job

[arimamib]

~

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.

It's true that, in professional sports, significant earnings often come from sponsorships. The financial success of an athlete is closely tied to their ability to attract sponsorships, especially in sports that doesnt attract worldwide audience like gambling, is influenced by their performance, popularity, and marketability. While individual talent is crucial, becoming a valuable participant in the broader sports system is equally important.

Success in professional sports requires more than just personal achievements, because it involves building a brand and image that sponsors find appealing. Establishing a strong presence in the sports ecosystem, whether through skill, charisma, or a combination of factors, increases the likelihood of attracting lucrative sponsorship deals. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and navigating the broader dynamics of the sports industry to maximize financial opportunities.

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.

It's true, a professional gambler doesn't need to be winning every day or stay profitable every week or month, it's just that they gamble professionally, which means that they have an allocated bankroll that they use to gamble and they don't let that bankroll go to zero at all as they have enough knowledge and experience and they stop when the time is right unlike other gamblers who tend to keep gambling even when they are constantly losing which is not the right way to gamble.

There is one more thing that is very important and it is that professional gamblers don't have gambling as their only source of income, they have sponsors, they do advertisements, they invest money in various assets like real estate, gold, or maybe even cryptocurrencies. So, they are not worried that if they lose for a week what they will do because they still keep earning money from somewhere out there.

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.

Even those who have the skill of making mathematical calculations, I still have not seen any of them who take gambling too seriously. Some of them still have teaching jobs and other side hustles that give them money, and they call that their major source of income.
 
Gambling and winning, no matter how good you are at it, is not something you can add all your hope to. Just like walking aside and being asked what you do for a living, you replied, I'm a professional gambler. How does that really sound? To me, I don't buy the idea of giving my all to gambling for any reason.
 
One can still be good at gambling and do other things that are their profession. No one studies gambling in school or learns it as a skill, or do they? If yes, I guess there is something that I'm missing in this gambling community.

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!

Gambling is not a profession, and never view it as such. A lot of things have happened to people worldwide, and all those things have mostly negative results,and yours was due to excess gambling. So viewing gambling as a source of income is something that individuals should completely avoid; it’s not going to help. Do you know that people have lost their family, houses, and trust due to gambling? When you are in business and losing is more than profit, there is no way such a business will grow, and you know losing is more than winning in gambling. It's all about luck, and gambling has a lot of high risks. In fact, I won’t advise anyone to take the risk involved in gambling because you will be left with nothing at the end of the day.

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.

Exactly. It’s really impossible. You spoke the truth. You cannot win daily in gambling, and that is why gambling can never be a career because you must meet up with your needs. You have people around you that will eat food. There are many problems to cover as a man, so taking gambling as a career will definitely make you jump to where you will never expect to be because you will become addicted once you view gambling in such a way that you will be doing it every single day.

As I have stated many times in my previous comments, gambling is an expensive hobby, form of fun and is certainly not something that a person can do as a full-time job or earn regular income from it. Since the luck factor is also a very important factor, especially depending on the preferred gambling game or type it isn't possible for any person to earn regular profits by acting in line with complete knowledge and experience. For example, although sports betting is a gambling method that can be preferred based on knowledge and experience, it is always based on luck in line with some probabilities and probabilities. In some cases, although the probability of this luck factor is very low, after a match that results in possible surprise results, the gambler's predictions may not be correct and may result in loss of money. On the other hand, since slots and similar gambling games are completely based on luck, unfortunately, it isn't possible for a person to play these games on a regular basis with his/her experience and knowledge.

I will always say this to people that they should always take advantage of any situation they finds themselves to make it in life with a positive mind, gambling is having it's own side of being beneficial to people and so many of them rely on gambling for their sustainance, if you can see a potential in it, then go for it, plan for it and achieve your desired ambition with gambling, give it all it may require and make your own achievements out of it.

I have passion for gambling so if only there is a terminology that a gambling professional is liable and tend tendency to gambling victory then I don't mind building a carrier after all it is all about making wealth which is equivalent to every sectors of professionals goals.

Gambling is a costly activity to maintain as it takes more from you regularly than it gives in return and there's no connection between the statement " full time job" and gambling. Like you @oprichukwu rightly said, a full time job have got to be that job that provides constant income to you either on daily, weekly, or monthly basis and you're with assurance that immediately that time approaches the income lands but not so with gambling. You just don't depend on it at all, there's no assurance, you always at the mercy of fate and lucky, is that what should be connected or categorized as a full time job? I don't get it too.

[Vaculin]

Definitely not. You can make gambling as a side hustle that creates additional income for you but it will never be a main source of income that can provide you consistent and sustainable profits. Although some have been making massive profits from gambling, but for sure they have lose a lot first and the moment they win, they are just gaining back their money that they have lost in gambling. But mostly people lose more than win more.

However, there are also big time gamblers that have found profession in gambling, but it does not mean that they only rely on gambling alone to feed theirselves or their family. Most probably, they also have other growing businesses or they have other side hustles that generate income for them.

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?

"Try and error" with this phrase, you have completed the answer to the question you are asking public opinion. Why would gambling be a professional when you can stay a week without making anything profitable. It's a combination and permutation where in an event, you can get plenty of results and yours will be rare to come by. Just imagine in a four combination, there are 24 results and in thewe 24, you want to see 9. Wouldn't that be difficult to see. With this, now imagine how it will be in 100 combination like dice and slots.

Gambling is like a person that goes out to hawk, they know that when they go outside to sale, they can sell what they have but it's possible that you will go out and sell but not getting any sell for that day especially when the whether is bad or if there is some occurrence that are beyond human control. It's just try and error business and it shouldn't be use as a profession but as a husle to look for secondary source of income.

I cannot make gambling a profession however I would gladly share on those who have the courage and the guts to take the that path. It is even more risky van having a high stick or even chasing losses. However we must note that people think all sorts of decisions for different purposes. A person who decides to Gamble full time may do it to prove a point that they can make money from gambling and not be addicted to it.

Making this decision was not a bad decision, it was their desire to take this profession as they believed that they could make it. Of course, it never works on a doubtful individual and not for those who think negatively already but it should for someone who has a high confidence that this job is for them. Yes, it is a matter of choice and all of us know what is best for us because I believe that they think it several times before making that decision.

We simply find gambling as an easy way to make money. When people win for the first time, they see it is possible forever. This is wrong, people need to have better understanding about gambling before they take it as a profession. There are people who are lucky to make consistent earning out of gambling, looking them if one thinks the same to happen for them it's their mistake.

well,so many persons who earn through gambling does not take it as a profession,they have other things they do,and it is those other things that generates the fund they invest into gambling.But I can only make gambling as a profession when I lack what to do,like in the case of being jobless,I can take gambling seriously and pray for a better day to cash out big.It is not always easy to predict and win in football gambling,for you to be a winner,you must have lost a reasonable amount of money.However,in other to make money through gambling,one must try to followup with the games playing over the weekends and to be able to get an accurate prediction on them.

The first win they get certainly makes them happy and then they also believe that the next time they will always get a win. And that's wrong, the reality can be the opposite of that. Of course it will not be easy to get a win in gambling especially if it is made into a profession I think it will be difficult to set because it is impossible to continue to get a win.

Also if there is someone who is always lucky with gambling where they always get a profit in every game, in my opinion it is not to be used as motivation, because it is unethical if someone has motivation in gambling.

Those who consider gambling as an easy way to make money will find it difficult to make money because gambling is not a place to make money. They have to spend money first so they can make money but that doesn't guarantee they can make money. They can only gamble and think of it as entertainment and not think about winning because it is not easy. If they think about making money from gambling, they can run into problems, especially if they develop a gambling addiction. And the difficulties will get bigger when they consider gambling as their full job because they can experience even more losses.

Gambling mostly involves luck so it is not right to consider it as an easy way to make money. There is no exact guarantee of winning in gambling they will be more at risk if they think of ways to make money. Although you can become an addicted gambler the journey is not easy. The person will then be ready to do anything to earn money it also has financial dangers that you should know before starting. Ideally betting like a pro requires a lifestyle change and when you take up gambling as a lifestyle you will experience significant financial changes.

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.

We must acknowledge the rarity of professional gamblers! They combine skills, strategy, and luck. Walking a tightrope without a net is high-risk, high-reward. Most of us can't imagine balancing on that wire, but some thrive there. It's not just about winning more than losing; it's about playing with finesse such that any loss sets them up for the next great triumph. What about gambling for easy money? Indeed, it's a risky boat to sail. Because luck is uncontrollable, ordinary people avoid it for steady income. Daily, professional gamblers dance with randomness. They can't anticipate luck, but they can manage risk, research patterns, and make reasoned decisions. They accept it as a difficult reality, not a hallucination. Although we can't all be professional gamblers, their presence shows the human spirit's determination to overcome tremendous odds

Yes, maybe that's true, but there must be some professional gamblers that we don't know and are difficult to find, basically the chances of winning will always go hand in hand with the risk of losing and even for the risk is much greater, but strangely and it seems that people who come with the wrong goals and mindset seem to think that there are only winning opportunities that are more prominent than the risks, maybe that misconception makes them continue to play to realize their expectations which if in common sense it is too impossible.

The professionals already know all the conditions that are there so that makes them have to be more careful and they have a pretty good way like you said by combining skill, intelligence, strategy and luck, it will really work if they do get lucky, but if not I think they will not force it because of course prevention will be prioritized. On the other hand I think there is nothing wrong for us to make them a good example, if we cannot leave our gambling activities then at least we are able to maintain our awareness in every gamble or follow the way they do, you can find indications that if you are unlucky there will definitely be some losses that you experience and in that condition do not get carried away and better be more assertive in trying to achieve full awareness. Because usually people who suffer big losses start from disappointing results and then they force it when there is no luck at that time.

Without any doubt NOOO. You cannot make gambling a profession let along a full time jobs. Full time jobs have a fixed amount of work a fixed amount of payrate or salary. A amount that helps one sustain himself and his family. A stable income. But gambling is not anything near stable. It is played totally based of luck. Can you effort to risk your own future, your families future, your loved ones future? Nobody would. So instead of trying to be a professional gambler or making it as a full time job you should use that gambling money for other business plan. If you wanted you could be entrepreneur who sets up his own business. It has much more higher potential than gambling. So you should reconsider if you wanna make gambling a profession.

Ideally betting like a pro requires a lifestyle change and when you take up gambling as a lifestyle you will experience significant financial changes.

What aspect of financial challenges are you expecting? Is it negative or positive growth because there is no guarantee with being a professional gambler. No doubt that you would also be making some profit but he will also be losing big because he will have to stake higher. I believe maybe streamers can have probably a steady outcome either they are in collaboration with the casino but to be a independent professional gambler doesn't have a guarantee of financial break through.
