Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job

[milewilda]

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!

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, there are only the games on which i do consider out to be something that you could really be able to deal with in longer runs on which you could really actually be able to take advantage if you are really that having the skills or simply you are really that good at it. There are people who might be able to have this kind of advantage on which they could be able to sustain and could really make this as their main source of income.
Well, its not guaranteed because we do know that luck factor would really be that still a huge relevance if we do speak about gambling and this is something that people should really be realizing.

The wrong thing on here is that there are people who do have those kind of thoughts and thinking that they could really be able to make money or income with those gambling game types
such as dice or roulettes or slots on which it is really just that too wrong on having those kind of impressions on which instead you would be able to make money, you would really be rather losing up bigtime
on which this is something that very normal to happen by most gamblers because they do have those kind of wrong thinking about on what gambling should be.

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.

Following your sentiment, there's no assurance that you can win in every play that you participate, chances of losing is always on your back and even how many times you manage to win there's always a bad day for you, though if you can control yourself and you can manage your emotion which is for sure that only a small percentage of gamblers can, there's always a possibility that you will lose your control and also suffer from big defeats.

As a career maybe it's only few person can deal with it, most might have other things or other alternative aside from gambling that can give them enough financial needs in case they lose in gambling.

We don't know about this, but some still try to make gambling their career, so they still gamble to build their career. They should know that gambling is not a job where we can build a career like a job in an office or company. We can only use gambling as entertainment so that we don't lose more money due to a lack of self-control. By using gambling as a career, we only take a greater risk of losing money, and we will not always be able to make money. We must be careful when playing gambling because many temptations can make us forget to control ourselves. If they want to pursue a career, they should do so by looking for work in an office or company that is more promising for them so they can make money.

That's true, even if you gamble with a strategy that can be said to accurately produce a win, but of course the end result will not always be a win. You need to remember that the chance of losing is greater than the chance of winning, therefore, it is impossible for gambling to give you a win. consistently. What is certain is that if you gamble frequently or make gambling a job, it will only drain your finances in vain.

In my opinion, making gambling a full-time job is not a good thing, because in reality many people experience big losses by gambling too often. therefore it is not good to make gambling a full-time job. It's better to gamble sensibly, because luck can be on your side when the time comes. When we gamble using real money, we must be prepared for the risk of losing the money we bet. Some gamblers tend not to be prepared for losses that will result in the loss of their money, even though that will definitely happen if they gamble.

The fact that people do not realize that the losing streak possibility becoming major when they gamble more is the problem. If you want to make it a "profession" then you need to gamble a lot, this isn't really about getting lucky once, it is about the fact that we are talking about something that would be a big situation, and this is why I think it has to be something that would not be all that easy.

I hope that the best thing to do would be nothing too worried, and that has to be the situation. I think we are going to end up with a trouble if we are not careful. So all in all we need to end up with a situation that will not be all that easy, so all in all do not gamble professional because most likely that you are going to lose.

Actually, it could be because the games in casinos never stop even in the world of sports there's a constant match and if you know that you are a well-skilled player that has different analyses with every game to make wins and i guess this could be your profession but again we are talking about gambling still there's a risk difference from the jobs you don't need to make an outflow of money more likely your work for the money but in gambling both you have a cashflow in this but before making an inflow you need to make an outflow of money to play a game and risk your funds. If they want to pursue this thing they must sure have a good backup plan and, of course, plan if their gambling work is still profitable.

very few can make it out alive in long term gambling. as i said, you can see more on poker players and sportsbettors. otherwise, a lot are digging their own grave of debt. this is why as much as possible, better gamble if you only have spare funds and don't chase losses after losses.

I agree that very few can make it out alive and even successful, that's why it's like an eSports, you need to be good at something and it's not for everyone. I feel like even the people that are supposed to be "professional" aren't going to make it alone with just their money, they probably got debt to supply their bankroll in the early stages or maybe even during some of their later career in professional gambling.

Making gambling a profession is not something common around there are just few people who do that, it will be common amongst those that have retired from work. I see Gambling as  a source of fun and it's entertaining not a path in career or regarding it as a profession, how can one depend on what is been won by luckas a profession rather it will turn one to an addict. It's good to have a normal regarded profession or other source of earnings and participate in gambling.

I know of a Bank manager that participate in online gambling, he often bet on sports especially football this guy often bet on single games which odds  are of 1.50 to 1.70 and his stake is $1,000 to win $1,500 to #1,700 in Naira #1m to win #1.5 or #1.7 and this atleast wins up to 4 to 5 time in a week so in month he has gained more than his salary. So in essence it's better to have means of earnings and keep gambling as a side hustle rather than making gambling a profession.

I've noticed that the secret to gambling, even for pros, is realising that its a combination of danger and entertainment. It takes balance to know when to play and when to give up. Over a sufficiently extended period of time, the idea of a "losing streak" is not merely conceivable; it is inevitable.

What do I think now? Absolutely, gamble for enjoyment. But what about professional gaming? A mindset that accepts risk and uncertainty is necessary, along with the constant understanding that failure is a part of the process. Savour the excitement, but proceed cautiously and responsibly. The key is to play the game rather than allowing it to play you.

In my opinion, it is difficult to maintain gambling as a sole source of income. This job is simply extremely precarious and unstable. It should be seen as an additional source of income in addition to our main source of income. Although it is an additional source of income, it still needs to be considered and skilled like a real job. When you do not have a main source of income to back up, it is psychologically difficult for you to gamble, because this is a job that requires emotional management.
If you don't have another source of income, when you lose all your money, where will you get the money to continue? Even though you may be a professional gambler, we don't always win, right? Therefore, in my opinion, if you already have the necessary skills to turn gambling into a job, consider it as a second job besides your main job, using a small part of the money from your main job to invest in gambling. If maintained well, every month you can earn more money from it as a second source of income. Diversifying your income source with gambling is also not a bad plan.

There are a few people who play poker full time and some has financial backers or people behind him to finance during tournament or an ordinary game with high stakes, so they can keep a portion of his winning. They are actually so called professional poker players, and yeah it is gambling related. Some might said that you need to at least keep up with your gambling career for at least 6 months to 1 year without becoming bankrupt or developing a huge debt for you to be able to be called as a professional poker player.  But this kind of career is risky and only a few are willing to take this path, because as we all know, gambling will usually drain out all our money and yes it is not a common career. Some professional poker players will only play during tournaments as they are aiming to get the pooled money.

Losing in gambling is no longer secret in gambling and of course losing is something that is guaranteed so no gambler can really avoid it, we just need to accept all the final results that occur.
With the guarantee that gamblers will lose, it is clear that making gambling place to work part time or make money is not an accurate statement, gamblers will only experience losses and lose large amounts of money.
We must be able to realize and understand every step we will take by having the right mindset, lest ambition or mortal desires make us stupid gamblers.

We expect money to work or do business, not gambling because it is clear that gambling is place to lose money, not to make it, but unfortunately this is reality that cannot be accepted well.
There are still many gamblers who think that they can make money but this is ridiculous and unreasonable.

One of the goals of gambling is to have fun and this is goal that every gambler should have, so that when lose money it will only be payment for the fun get.

If they have skills in playing poker and a strong financial background, they may be able to make gambling their profession. But we know that not many people can make gambling their career, and only a small percentage can do it. Those who cannot use gambling as a profession will only fall deeper into gambling so that they will only experience gambling addiction without realizing it. There is a risk that we have to accept if we use gambling as a profession because we will not always be able to make money from gambling, and there will be gamblers who are more skilled than us even though we have trained our skills so that we have a bigger chance of winning. We are better off looking for work if we want to build a career or have a profession out of what we do rather than forcing ourselves to use gambling as a profession.

This thinking is still used by novice gamblers and most of them always think that gambling is a place to make money, even though they should already know that making money is by working or doing business as you said, after all that is a common thing for them to know, but People deny this general thing by saying that gambling is the right way to make money, I can't believe people like that still exist today even though in reality they have experienced a lot of losses but still think of it like that.

I think there are still many gamblers who until now really haven't been able to enjoy playing gambling because they are too obsessed with winning that they forget how much money they have spent and lost in gambling, so people like that won't realize it if they haven't really totally bankrupt, that's why many people are addicted to gambling because they fail to realize their main goal at the beginning, namely getting a lot of money and winning big at gambling, they don't accept the reality well in the end they will realize that gambling should be a place for entertainment and having fun .

Your statement is very good and right about gambling is an activity that can be "harmful and entertaining", we can choose whether we want to make gambling a harmful activity or vice versa by making and treating gambling as a fun activity. All of this is a choice and only you know what is best for yourself, but in the grand scheme of things and in the common sense that everyone has I am sure that all gamblers do not want to experience the ill effects of gambling, and that means that there is no other option that you have to choose but to make gambling as nothing more than a fun activity, with this mindset and point of view I think it will not be too difficult for you to create a balance in any case whether it is in terms of your financial time management.

I think the idea and point of view that gambling is just for "fun" can cover everything, my point is that by having this mindset and understanding then obviously you will have no difficulty doing some things or actions that are suggested, It will not be difficult for you to put small amounts because you understand that the possibility of risk can always not be avoided completely and you will also definitely limit the time of gambling because you know that when you gamble too often then it will be able to make you fall into the wrong path which ultimately makes you addicted, so the point is that we must control gambling and not gambling that controls us.

The gambler should need of some strong economy background,because the game can be loss.Because gamblers need to understand it is just a game,So losing in the game is not the big thing.But gamblers should understand their game and change their strategy with respect to the changing algorithm of the gambling site.The skill also important one for the gamblers to survive in the gambling and to make money from their time spending for the game.

Many people thought the gamblers only spending their money for the gambling.But the key factor is gamblers also spending their time which can be used for other productive activities.So only the winning can be the equivalent rewards for the gamblers spending money and time in the gambling site.The gap is essential to the gamblers to understand the changing algorithm of the gambling site.

Actually, not really because gambling can be used by everyone who wants to gamble. But it will not be as easy as imagined because people have to learn many things to use gambling properly. They must be able to control themselves and never think about using gambling as a profession, let alone to make money because that is not what gambling is for. Gambling is entertainment we can use in our free time, so we do not need to gamble. If we don't have free time, we don't need to gamble, and we still have other days to gamble.

Yes, people think that gamblers only spend their money gambling because that has happened to many gamblers. Those who spend a lot of money don't have good self-control, so they fall deeper into gambling and don't know how to get out of gambling. Gamblers really have to limit their money and time for gambling, especially if they have many other productive activities, which are routine activities that they always do. If they have routine activities, they do not need to use gambling except in their free time because it can interfere with their focus in carrying out their routine activities.
