Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life?

[Renampun]

No matter the situation someone is going through in life, the person should not think of gambling as a source of income. People that take gambling as a source of income are most likely going to regret it later. Successful gamblers are the gamblers that make money from real business and not from gambling.

It's true what you mentioned here, when you have an outside business or job that can give you big money and make you rich even though you are a gambler, but what makes you rich is your business, not the results of that gambling, gambling can only be used as a entertainment only, nothing less and nothing more. I'm sure there are many rich people out there who are gamblers, but they are rich not from gambling but other real things they earn.

[EluguHcman]

Gambling is a source of income for a greater percentage of gamblers but it is not ideal as an active source but passive source of income. As someone who believe that the primary motivation for a gambler is to make money, I still see gambling as a great source of passive income. Those who have won decent amount of money from gambling can confirm how helpful such wins can be and the quality of joy they bring. Unless as an agent, I will not advice anyone to make gambling a career because the winning is not regular and predictable.

Yeah, it is just one of the variable and invariable circumstances where every gamblers has the intensive expectations of winning and when they wins they are going to make profit out of it and that specifically has aimed gambling an income source but does not mean it is a basic source advisable for a gambler to rely on for a source of income because its resourcefulness is usually unpredictable which can harm its desperate chasers.

[Sakanwa]

Anyone that is using gambling as job is hopeless, because gambling gives false hope and waste your time. I will call them lazy people and they will die wretched if they don't come back to their normal senses and look for a job to do. Gambling is unpredictable, and another reason is that if you win big today since you have taking gambling to be a job, you will spend the money without caution believing that you will win tomorrow.

it's not just laziness but an high level of nonchalant attitude that can only come from someone that has no plan for his life. Do you just work because you want to be able to feed yourself and that's it? What happen to creating a good stream of income outside of gambling that can generate money for you even while you're not working? Anyone that's relying on wining in a gamble as his only source of income will only end up eating from hands to mouth. It's no doubt that some lucky individuals have won huge amount of money through gambling but if you don't have a single plan regarding what you're going to put the money you've won into, at the end of the spending  it out, the only option you will be left with wull be to go back into gambling to recovering the money and then continue tye circle almost the same way.

I've seen lots of youth who makes it there lifestyle to always depend on gambling as a major source of income and the end product of such decision is always addiction.

you think it's laziness but for them it's their hope in life, some of them have something doing but the money is only going into gambling. While some do have strong family that have money and it's not a stress for them anymore, just few days ago I saw a lady complaining so badly about her brother in school. That their parents sent him money for school fees and he ended it up by gambling so he called her sister to loan her little money to go back and continue with it, so that he can recover the money that he lost. And this money it's not a little money to be paid quickly, the sum of $3,000 USD that he used for gambling. So laziness is also among but the fact is that some of this youth's don't really know what they're doing to themselves.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I was gambling today online since their is strike no work, so decided to take all my day to place a bet and this thought comes to my mind. That is it how the jobless men do gamble all day with the little money they've, because this is insane to me but to those people who gamble as the means of their income it's terrible. I rememberd a friend of mine back in the days in school all he does was to gamble all day not going to class, and the gambling favors him alot any time he comes to the hostels he do comes back with a big bag of foods. But that was back then his parents was sending him money, but right now with the economy situation in some countries someone will haven a little money meanwhile he/she have gone alot stress to get the money and he/she will tries to increase the money by gambling. Everyday he/she continues like this hmmm it's bad.

I said let me express my feelings towards this to forum gambling discussion, if their are people who are living in this kind of lifestyle. And what will be your opinion towards the people living in this kind of lifestyle everyday of their life's?

First, I am interested to know the current financial situation of that your friend back in school, does he stikl gamble? What does he do for a living presently outside gambling? And how successful is he financially?

Truthfully answering this questions should give us all an idea of whether it's really good to take gambling as a means of livelihood, like a source of income and so on.

Secondly, you should really consider using a google translator if you are not too good with English, it's not a crime or against the forum rules to use translators, if anything, it's more OK since it helps make posts more readable and understandable.

Thirdly, this topic is something that have been discussed on this board previously, in fact, I was actually one of the authors of the thread on this topic.

And in general now, regardless of the fact that it's possible to make good amount of money from gambling, it's still adviced to never use or see gambling as a source of income, or consider living from gambling proceeds.
Have your business or be working, and gambling is always be secondary.

[nara1892]

And I think of course it's a very natural thing if in the end what happens is just the opposite, or what that means is that they actually experience a lot of setbacks in their lives, simply put, instead of making money, what happens is they actually lose a lot of money, because as you said, they don't maybe we can make a place that has no certainties and guarantees a place to make money, plus only luck can bring someone to victory. So it's better to look for something that's certain, rather than chasing something that doesn't provide any guarantees.

This fact will definitely be experienced by gamblers who choose gambling as a source of income or even additional income. Usually this will be experienced from the influence of high wins that have never been achieved in previous gambling history, they will be greedy to be able to win again in the next gambling session so they don't care about high losses, they end up experiencing unexpected losses in gambling and they will say all of them have been wasted on what they expected to earn from gambling.

Every gambler never claims gambling as a source of income even though they have won big bets, be a wise and responsible gambler. You change your mindset to focus on finding other sources of income without the risk of losing anything.

Of course I am very sure of that, or I mean I am very sure that gamblers who always try to make money in gambling end up losing a lot of money in significant amounts and maybe I would also say that it is the intention and purpose that gamblers have that will eventually enter the addiction zone. And regarding the cause, yes I quite agree with your opinion that usually it happens when they manage to get one of the unusual winnings, or winnings in a very tantalizing amount which in the end the situation makes them experience a change in their mind especially in the interest in winning which the interest is increasing, and also this is the cause why a gambler applies greed in his gambling activities, which is because they want to get a much larger amount of winnings.

On the other hand I will say that if you do not want to experience the same effects as those experienced by gambling addicts then one thing you should pay attention to is before getting involved make sure that you understand what gambling is all about, because by having the right understanding then I believe it is less likely for you to do various actions that are not reasonable or that are too risky.

These young people who gamble using their parents money should be kicked from home, so they will know if money is really important and they can learn how to waste their money. They thought that their parents always have money since anything that they ask, the parents always can fulfill it, but they didn't know if their parents taking a loan to make them able to school.

Its tempting to call these people lazy, but dont. Its not about munching chips and watching TV on the couch. Some gamble as their only hope and dream, even if its twisted. They may have jobs and families, but a big victory and overnight change are too tempting.

Not saying its right. Definitely a bad route. We must comprehend the causes. They may be desperate, hooked to the excitement, or see no other way out. The student's tuition money waste is tragic, but its a sign of a bigger issue. We must treat causes, not symptoms. Education, financial knowledge, and treatment may assist. We cant dismiss them as lazy. That wont help.

I'm sure there are many rich people out there who are gamblers, but they are rich not from gambling but other real things they earn.

Gambling is not the main source of income, who is earning good money. He or she must have separate business or job which is the main source of money but sometimes we see the gambler coming in a car to the casino and his style says that he is rich and wealthy. We, at once, think that he is rich because of the gambling returns but in fact we do not know that he has some other main source of income and he is gambling for fun only.

People usually get deceived by the looks of the wealthy gambler and think that if he is rich because of gambling, why can't they? This makes many people put more money into gambling which they can't afford to lose and once they lose that money, their life becomes more miserable than it was before.

Lazy or not, its never been that good on making yourself into such condition on thinking that gambling is something that could could make it as a source of income then you are really that someone whose delusional.
Just let those people experience on whats the worst at the moment that they would really be making gambling as their main source of income.Sonner or later they would really be able to taste up the harshness
of reality that you could really be able to experience on how it would really be affecting someones financial condition at the moment that you would really be keeping on chasing up on winning or constant
profits on which we know that it cant really be possible through gambling. There are really ones who are really that too delusional and this is why they do really end up ona disaster.

Gambling is really just that for the sake of fun and not for making it as your day source of money for you to rely on. It is really just that for the sake of fun and it would really be just that like that.
Dont make yourself having those high hopes because gambling is a game of chance and there's no guarantee to this one. So why would really be putting up your life condition
or situation on gambling? It doesnt have sense.

It is undoubtedly true that most gamblers choose gambling as a source of income. The opposite is true for particularly wealthy gamblers who have no problem with money, who may consider gambling primarily as a pastime. But most of the poor and middle class gamblers choose gambling as one of the main sources of income. One of the main targets of all gamblers around me is to profit from gambling and make a living from that profit. This irrational attitude and activity of theirs makes them lead a very miserable life later on. In most of the gambling families this gambling alone causes chaos and family misery.

They thought that their parents always have money since anything that they ask, the parents always can fulfill it, but they didn't know if their parents taking a loan to make them able to school.

It is true that those who gamble with other people's money do not understand the cost of wasting money. There are many gamblers who gamble with others money or borrowed money. When they run out of money, they collect money from another source and start gambling again. Thus their gambling continued. We can temporarily get angry and say all sorts of things but in reality those words worth less. No good words we say to a person who has become addicted to gambling and unless he tries to change on his own initiative.

If any member of the family is addicted to gambling, then his father and mother must know those things and take the right decision. If they neglect to take care of their children, they will suffer in the future. Gambling is not an income stream where one can win according to his needs. By managing gambling within self-control, the gambler will keep himself safe and others will not be harmed by him.

[Ojima-ojo]

First thing is, how often do you win from gambling, and in doing so ask yourself, after spending the whole day betting, how many of your bet actually win and how many loses recorded, when you are able to accurately see that you won more than you lost it show you have a good technical knowledge on sport analysis.

But it doesn't end there, also put into practice for a consistent time, let say gamble the whole week, repeatedly if you win consistently then you can take gambling as a flow income generation and a source, but if you can't win all the time which is the reality with gambling, then it means you are risking your financial well being by taking gambling as major source of income.

[hyudien]

Yeah, it is just one of the variable and invariable circumstances where every gamblers has the intensive expectations of winning and when they wins they are going to make profit out of it and that specifically has aimed gambling an income source but does not mean it is a basic source advisable for a gambler to rely on for a source of income because its resourcefulness is usually unpredictable which can harm its desperate chasers.

There is indeed a chance to win, but of course, even though they can win, it doesn't mean they can use gambling as a source of income with the winnings they get because based on luck alone, it's impossible for them to win completely because of the strategy they use in gambling. The winnings they have obtained can even make them addicted to gambling and experience many losses. Apart from that, for those who respond wrongly to gambling, usually the winnings they have obtained can make them more confident that they can still win again so they will gamble again. and even though the next gambling ends in defeat, they still continue to gamble because their unnatural gambling motives encourage them to continue gambling in order to win or even recover losses even though this is not recommended.
Of course, those who consider gambling as a source of income will most likely only experience losing more money, and that will make them addicted to gambling, especially if they are lucky enough to win quite often, the deeper they will get into gambling, but with The deeper they get into gambling, the greater the risk which can even make them completely destroyed financially, health and even relationships.

So many gamblers do not actually consider what they lose at the cause of gambling. Since they don't lose them at once, they don't find it easy to calculate and accumulate their loses. Rather they allow one single win to make them forget all their losses. The real thing would have been; when you win, you calculate all your loses and subtract it from your winning and determine if you are actually making progress.

But it doesn't end there, also put into practice for a consistent time, let say gamble the whole week, repeatedly if you win consistently then you can take gambling as a flow income generation and a source, but if you can't win all the time which is the reality with gambling, then it means you are risking your financial well being by taking gambling as major source of income.

It is not possible to win in a streak for a whole week. Even if you have majority winning this week, no matter how experienced you are, there's no guarantee that you will continue winning without losing.

[Egii Nna]

You can’t win frequently in gambling, that is just a fact, even though you really win all the time in gambling. is either lucky or cheating, so it is a true fact that no one can constantly win in gambling, and anyone who thinks he is a frequent winner. So if he will like it to be his main source of income, then I will say he should be ready to dwell in debt and poverty. That is just the fact. If you said they should use gambling as a source of getting some income to add up in order to sustain a living with their families, I will completely support that, but gambling as the main source of income is a critical idea. 
 
For instance, if gambling is your main source of income, then what will you do when you have emergencies? Because you, as a professional and profitable gambler, will never have savings because you always use the money to play more games in order to get more money that will still be put back into the game, when you have an urgent emergency, how will you approach it?

[SOKO-DEKE]

The majority of us will say NO but why not if we are destined to be a successful gambler? Of course, our negativity drives our minds to think negatively but it is possible in real life.

It can be one source of income but it doesn't mean we have to be fully reliant on this.
We have not to generalize that all gamblers are losers, many also have made their life better by doing this. We can say only a few of them, yet it is not really convincing but for them, they had already achieved things that can't be simply achieved by having stable jobs.

I don't think gambling can be a source of income for anyone. You can ask anyone that is gambling how often they win, and they will explain, gambling is not something you can win at often. Even if you are a lucky person, you can't always win at gambling. The few people you see whose lives have changed due to gambling are those who were lucky enough to win a large amount of money, and that usually happens only once or twice. So, I am just wondering why someone would try to make gambling a source of income when there is no assurance of winning at any particular time.

If anyone has the mindset of making gambling a source of income, they will just suffer in life. Just look at the percentage of people losing money in gambling compared with those winning, and it will be clear to you that gambling is full of luck, and anything that relies on luck cannot be a source of income.

People take gambling as a source of income, but it doesn’t make any sense to me, so if there is a subsequent loss, then how will the person be able to survive? People like this are the ones that do end up being addicted to gambling easily, because if they lose continuously and have no money left with them, they will end up doing everything possible to get money just to keep on gambling because they need to gamble for survival. Some of them will sell things they have, hoping to buy them back after winning, but most of them will end up losing the money.
 
If you are not married yet, I don’t have any problem with anyone depending on gambling for survival, but if you are married with children, then it’s totally bad. You shouldn’t punish your family members with your stupidity. Because if you have a family, you won’t be the only one to be affected, your family members will also be affected.

[GxSTxV]

There is no possible way to have gambling as a source of income no matter what.
Gambling isn't à fixed salary or something like that to be relied on for someone's spendings. Sometimes u might get lucky and win some money but most of the times you face losses a lot so I don't see how It can be a source of income.

People who rely on gambling and don't have any other source of income as a job or a business are considered lazy people in my opinion. Because if you rely on some wins from some slots to spend during the day then you don't think any further.

I personally can't do such thing, I consider gambling as an entertaining activity nothing more, sometimes u put a significant amount of money and bet it, ofcourse an amount you can afford losing but for fun nothing more. If you don't have any other income then how are you supposed to gamble anyways?

Yes, it is a fairly effective way to cause a deterrent effect on a child so that they do not dare to do bad things like that again, but on the other hand I am not sure that every parent will agree or will do the idea, because basically there are always some parents who always defend their children even though their children are wrong or do something that is not commendable.

But yes, of course for some parents who really dare to do this idea to their children when they find out that their children steal their money to gamble, then yes it is a good idea to cause a significant deterrent effect that allows a child to be discouraged.

But yes, strict action should really be taken by parents regardless of whether it is their child or someone else, none other than because the idea can educate a child so that they no longer dare to commit various worse actions.

[BITCOIN4X]

Gamblers cannot always rely on gambling as their source of income all the time, but if you have enough budget then become a bookie (casino owner) in this industry and earn income. This is the only way for you to earn an income from gambling, meaning you must take advantage of this industry to make a profit.

You also need to know that not all bookies can always earn income from this industry. All of them carry the risk of loss (bankruptcy) regardless of how developed your casino is initially. The gambling industry is very risky, even though it promises big profits, there are times when they have to go out of business and are no longer able to pay their customers because they are unable to compete.
