Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job

[Accardo]

I know some gamblers who are professional and take the gambling path as their carrier and gambling with discipline. Even I saw them losing big amount of money but as they have their own strategies, they also recover their money & even able to make more money afterwards. Honestly its true but I still don't know how they do such thing at all. But yeah, they only do such games which can be win by strategies and technics and they always games like slot machines which is uncertain. Well for me, i don't have any intention for become professional gambler cause gambling is uncertain thing, There's no assurance of income. Rather I would like to enjoy gambling and consider it as the source of entertainment

you can find mostly this type of gamblers in sportsbetting and poker or blackjack. because if the gambler will dedicate his time to those luck-based games in a casino, i don't think they can get out alive or should i say, in the positive profit of their bankroll. just admit the fact that when you are in classic games such as dice, hi-lo, roulette, the probability of winning is slim. you may hit some winnings but need to stop while you are still in positive. otherwise, if you continue, your bankroll will be screwed.

It's true trying to win gambling out of luck isn't guaranteed. The players who steadily gamble and turned it to a source of income, focus on skill-based games. But it's still not simple to gamble at every given time. The game could get boring, along the line. However, with the participants available the gamblers, may form a group of friends and enjoy the process. On the long run gamblers are advised not take up such routes, even if they're expert in the game, taking a few months break can help the gambler to think straight on other things about his life, families, friends, etc. Those lifestyles shouldn't be neglected because of the gambling lifestyle. As a gambler we are also required to maintain a good relationship with people around us, so that whenever things get wrong, they'll be people to take care of the gambler. Because gambling everyday as a career can mislead the gambler to get addicted.

Yeah  and not just the money but more with your time, once you already suffering with that kind of treatment inside gambling,  you'll not be able to keep the balance,  it's always better to keep it as source of entertainment unless you're not betting or your not using your money,some sort of affiliate marketing that will allow you to earn decent compensation from any gambling site that will allow you to advertise or to use their referrals.

Outside from that, it's a big risk trying to compete with the house, though maybe there are some who can achieve it but not too many will be successful as gambling is a business and not a charity.

We may not feel the pain of losing money because we get too much pleasure from gambling, but when we realize it, then we will regret what we have done, but we cannot return the money we lost at the gambling table. We will not be able to use gambling as a full-time job because there is a factor of losing money, which may be greater than what we experienced before. This is not good if we continue, so we have to really reflect on what we have done so that we can change our thinking and not focus on making gambling a full-time job. From the start, when we gamble, we should be able to think about turning gambling into entertainment and not have to gamble for too long. It can make us fall deeper into gambling.

And we also don't need to compete with the house because the house will definitely get the biggest profit. The more gamblers who can't realize their mistakes by making gambling a full-time job, the bigger profits the house will earn.

You wont really be able to make out those realizations on the time that you do play gambling on which your emotion boost is still there specially when greed is still overcoming your senses
then there's no way that you could really be able to make out those kind of thinking and control which it is really that just sad that people do really end up on this kind of option
on which on the time that they dont have any money that they could pull through into their pockets then this is the time that they would really be having those kind of concern and thinking
which the damage has already been done on which they could really actually be able to stop early if they are really just that being disciplined or having that control.

The career should be a secure future where the career should be built around that. One's personal decision is the most important one behind building a career. Many people spend time gambling but they do not prioritize gambling behind career building.
It is possible to build a career in gambling when there are profits from gambling but no losses. But in every gamble there will be both profit and loss but to build a career there must be a guarantee of huge amount of income on gambling. It is not possible to guarantee a huge amount of income on gambling so no one would want to build a career on gambling.

If you are talking about career I think it's very different from a profession, you can actually get a profession in different careers so adding gambling as a profession amongst all others is very possible but will be give less attention or time but then it's still depends on the gambler and it's still possible he could decide to Chase a career in gambling but it will be different.

Chasing a career in gambling will involve some innovation and creativity beyond the regular, let me give further insight, the people who program the slot machines and also create the algorithm for the virtual and casino games are actually career people but then they are not directly involved in placing bets and hoping to be lucky, they are behind the luck you wish for but by virtue of their policies they can't turn this luck around for their selves else the casino bis definitely going to suffer. So building a career in gambling doesn't end with just placing bets and hoping on luck to win but beyond that is still a career.

All professions out there have their advantages and disadvantages and will always have someone discouraging you based on the Cons of it...
but when it comes to gambling most of the time we think of it as you being the gambler doing the actual gambling/wagering which is a high risk option AFAIK, but have any of us thought of it as you being the proprietor of the gambling business which takes the risk away from you and could actually be a good business if you have the resources and time to run such a business Unless my suggestion doesn't count for being a gambling profession, write it off.

I think this only makes sense (make gambling a profession) if you own your own casino or sportsbook.

Great to see someone having the same line of thought

If we get too much pleasure from gambling and then don`t recount our loss then it worth's it. After all, is that not what we have always advocated for here, gambling for fun? It takes a wealthy person to still have pleasure in losing bets. A poor gambler feels pain from losing his very first bet because most time the outcome of the bet determines if he will continue gambling or not.

Well, whether rich or poor, it is not ethical to make gambling a full-time job. I don`t think there is any need to emphasize this because no one can make gambling a full-time job not even the rich. No doubt, gambling has changed lives and even those who won millions diversified into ventures that profit is certain and then make gambling a passive activity and still hope of winning but not a total reliance on gambling. If you rely on gambling as a full-time job you must go broke not minding the amount of wealth you have amassed. Remember a gambler is always a loser.

Gambling is definitely not a job, and viewing it as such can lead down a dangerous path. Unlike most professions where hard work and skill increase your chances of success, gambling is inherently stacked against you. Casinos and other gambling platforms are designed for the house to have a statistical edge, meaning they will win more than they lose in the long run. No amount of skill or strategy can change that fundamental reality.

True professions require developing and applying specific skills to provide a service or create something of value. While some forms of gambling involve elements of strategy, luck ultimately plays a much larger role in determining outcomes. This lack of control and predictability makes it impossible to consider gambling a genuine job. Treating gambling as a job risks financial insecurity and potential addiction. The promise of quick wins can be tempting, but relying on unpredictable wins to pay bills is a recipe for disaster. Responsible financial planning requires stable income sources, not the volatile swings of gambling wins and losses.

Yes it is possible for gambling to be a profession but the fact if it is logically right or wrong now depends on what role you play in the gambling space making it your profession. Now it is ok for someone to be a staff at a casino or in other words , it is ok for someone to be a professional full time worker at an organization which offers gambling services. This should not be considered a wrong move as it should be seen like a normal profession even if the person gambles at intervals.

Now when it comes to taking gambling as a full time job probably because you are unemployed and depend solely on it for your income, it should be considered wrong. As such a per will have to gamble too frequently to meet their financial needs which could make them become addicts.

The gambler who had more profession in the guessing of the probability of the game may choose the gambling as their full time job.Because the gamblers who had good analytical skills can able to make the big decisions or choosing the gambling as the full time job.It was essential for the gambler to make the betting with the good amount of dollars,So the probability of making the winning will be more.The risk is always in the game,but the gambler who doesn’t like to risk the money may better skip the gambling.Because the gambling is the risky game,So become a rich person using the gambling skills in the past.

It's true that it truly depends on the part you have been playing in the gambling industry. Personally, I would much rather work for a company that runs a genuine casino or a gambling website so that we may profit from our effort. Right?
On the contrary, it is riskier and would undoubtedly leave us deeply in debt if we gambled full-time while unemployed. Naturally, there is no assurance that gambling will bring in a steady income, and I concur with you that it will eventually cause gambling addiction. Additionally, the effects of this addiction on our mental, emotional, and financial health may be terrible. When we think about it, benefits like retirement plans, health insurance, and a consistent salary are frequently associated with full-time work. We do not receive these advantages from gambling, which makes us subject to unexpected expenses or crises.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think this only makes sense (make gambling a profession) if you own your own casino or sportsbook.

Exactly, and I would also say the same thing as you said above that making gambling a profession or a full-time job can only be done when you are someone who owns the casino itself, because as we know that in the end the real profit is only for the house. On the other hand the other reason is because there is absolutely nothing that can guarantee you can win in every session you play, gambling is always about winning and losing and not winning and winning, meaning there is a possibility for anyone to end up losing money, and also this means that there is absolutely no consistent victory in gambling, You will only win when you are really lucky and because of this why it makes no sense to make gambling as a place of income or main job, we must understand that the name of the necessities of life is intolerable, meaning that you must always have money to pay for your living needs and the question is what if the situation is that you really need money to buy food but it turns out that you lose at gambling? This is why we must open our eyes and look at gambling rationally.

Of course, anyone would choose to work in a casino company because having many members will result in high annual profits and also each employee has a high salary and luxurious facilities, but the dream of working for a casino is very difficult because the team prioritizes offering devoleporous staff jobs to handle updates and improvement of the gambling system. So prepare your skills to apply to become a casino staff and it is recommended that you have the basic coding to apply to become a company casino staff.

[Renampun]

If you are able to accept the enormous pressure to keep gambling and keep winning, then you can try to make gambling a full time profession. The logic is simple, if you make gambling a full time profession then it is very natural that you have a demand within yourself to keep winning, and can you do it!!

because I can't do that that's why I never tried to make gambling my full time profession (forcing myself to keep winning at gambling is difficult in my opinion), Apart from that, I also have a lot of activities and obligations, making it impossible to focus on continuing to gamble.

As long as you are winning in gambling, you will not find it boring. Rather you will enjoy gambling the most if you are making money from it. Moving forward, you may be willing to stop your other work where you are earning steady income and would want to give 24/7 to gambling because you will find to easily make money from gambling, provided you are winning in gambling. If you are on the loser side, than you may think that gambling is the worse thing you ever tried in your life.

As a gambler we are also required to maintain a good relationship with people around us, so that whenever things get wrong, they'll be people to take care of the gambler. Because gambling everyday as a career can mislead the gambler to get addicted.

Well, the people will automatically come to us if we are winning in gambling and making handsome money. Everyone wants to make friends with us if we are rich, isn't true?
But wait, if you are losing in gambling and you have the habit of asking from help or asking for loans from friends in order to gamble, then no one will come near to you and people will try to avoid you. That is how the behavior of people changes with money.

Naturally, it is impossible to work if you lack the necessary skills or if it is not your subject of interest. For this reason, when you apply, most often, those with prior work experience are accepted, saving them time and making it simpler to describe the job at a casino. It goes without saying that we should be knowledgeable about the workplace, its operations, and its surroundings. So gaining knowledge about how casinos operate and developing the necessary abilities could let us stand out as candidates in the gaming and entertainment sectors.
especially the gambling industry, which is changing these days, and technology is important. Thus, I believe that having a foundational understanding of coding makes us more flexible and valued employees by enabling us to adjust to changes and developments in the industry.

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!

Personally, I wouldn't do this. For me, gambling as a main source of work is not acceptable. The main reason is due to the fact that gambling is not a stable source of income and I would not seriously count on it. This is the kind of work where you can earn nothing, and you can also lose money, no matter how good a strategist a person is, no matter how well he keeps statistics. You have to be very careful with gambling, it’s entertainment and not for everyone

Yes, definitely. There are two main ways that I've seen people turn gambling into a career.

First is that they become traders at sportsbooks like Bet365. Essentially when you place a bet on Bet365 there are often traders who review your bet and see if they are getting good betting flow. They have less of an opinion on whether or not a team is going to win a particular game but more of a focus on managing their positions so that they don't go bankrupt when a long-shot team wins.

Second is games of skill, such as poker, and advantage play in Blackjack. People can make a reliable living with these games if they are good.

Yes, we won't really realize that we have been controlled by greed, especially when we become more emotional and eager to pursue an even bigger win. We will not remember the limits or self-control we have created because our goals have changed, and instead of trying to enjoy gambling, they have changed to chasing victory. When they still want to make gambling a job, they will see that it will ruin their lives because they will lose all their valuables and sell them just to get money to use for gambling. They will experience bankruptcy that they never imagined before. When everything has happened, only then will they realize how serious the loss they have experienced is, but they will not be able to fix it easily. It takes a long time to recover, especially if they become addicted to gambling, so they have to cure their gambling addiction before they can recover their lives.

Yes, gamble for fun and stop gambling once you've had enough. But many gamblers can't feel enough after playing gambling and still want to continue gambling even though they have experienced quite a lot of losses. They want to recover their losses, and only by continuing to gamble they can try to recover but it will be difficult to recover their losses. They should be fully aware of it and not try it because otherwise, they will lose even more money.

Making gambling a job will not allow them to make money. They need to remember that gambling is not a job, but just a place to have fun, and gambling doesn't require using too much money. If they can win, that's a bonus. But if they lose, that is the risk they have to accept from gambling. If they could understand this, they would not want to try so hard at gambling, so they would only use gambling as entertainment and forget about their dream of making gambling a job. But gambling has changed people's mindset so that they continue to visit casinos and gamble, and they even try other gambling games in the hope that they can win some money.

If not, please advise!

I don't see any reason or whatsoever that will make someone to choose gambling as a career like is such person insane or wants to have mental disorders? Like no matter how much you win in gambling, it isn't enough to discard other ways of earning an income and become dependent on gambling, a game of uncertainty? Like you win now the next minute you lose and you want to choose it as a career? Hell no, gambling should be played with carefulness and no matter how successful you've become in gambling, it isn't a prerequisite to guarantee you  a successful career in it.
