Tell me, do you have a goal to be a professional gambler in the future?

[Marykeller]

The idea of being a professional gambler in the future hasn't crossed my mind, in the sense that gambling is not what someone can study perfectly to begin to make a living out of it. Trying to make that happen means I am gonna lose more money and end up being addicted to gambling. I don't want such a thing to happen to me. I am comfortable with the way I am with gambling(I win and lose), not wanting more, to be a professional that will make me begin to think otherwise to depend on gambling as a source of income

It's very hard to describe a professional gambler in my opinion, and you're right about that, how is it possible to study gambling that relies so much on luck and find a way to get a strategy to get consistent winnings from gambling.

It can be a lot of work and a lot of money to get to that point, and I've never heard of a professional gambler except in movies. LOL

I'd rather focus on trading than focus on gambling for a living, although many people say it's similar but in the world of trading, you can get the right strategy in finding profits, and the skill factor can be decisive than the luck factor here.

Well that's the problem, or what you mean as you said that what I think is gambling is an activity that cannot be learned especially in the type of casino games that purely depend on luck, how can we make a living in a place when we don't know how to win? of course that's what makes me feel that the idea is unreasonable.

Gambling must be done with great care and patience, while we are humans who are social creatures, I'm not sure that we will really be able to always control ourselves and our emotions and of course there will be many scenarios that can bring us to a significant emotional situation where we will not always be able to control those emotions and of course that is a situation that can make us lose money in much larger amounts. And also of course there will be many stressful situations that will affect our mental and psychological state and I'm sure that it will be very draining, especially if we are in need of money for emergency needs while we are experiencing many defeats in gambling.

So I think it is not a very recommended idea, and if you really want to build a successful career then it is better to look for a place that has certainty and guarantees to always be able to produce, never put your hopes in a place that is probabilistic.

I believe there are many gamblers here in the forum who regularly share their wins and losses. But I'm curious—has it ever crossed your mind to consider becoming a professional gambler, someone who makes a living out of it and enjoys a life of financial freedom?

I think you have the wrong idea about the concept of becoming a professional gambler (bettor), since you talk about financial freedom. This betting profession, like any other, is an income from an activity in which you specialize, like any other.

So even graduating from any professional university degree does not guarantee financial freedom, so dedicating yourself professionally to Gambling ( betting ) does not necessarily mean that you have financial freedom, on the contrary, it is a profession with a lot of stress.

So reformulate your idea or thought.

[pawanjain]

No I am definitely not considering that option because it doesn't have any certainity whether we can survive on it or not.

I am a gambler, even as I gamble with just a little amount of money, but I notice that my loss is always more than my win whenever I am gambling, so even if I increase the amount I am gambling with, I know my loss will still be more than my win, and my win can’t really sustain me, so I don’t really think I can even think about making gambling my only source of income. I know people are doing that, but we are completely different, we have different things to take care of. And if I'm honest, I don’t really think that’s a good idea, depending on gambling as the only source of income.

But the question is how do you exactly know that people are living off gambling ?
If you have any link to any article you can share it here for us to know.
Even I believe that we cannot sustain the returns from gambling and that's the reason why it would be hard to believe if anyone is actually able to achieve that.

The only thing that i do consider professional gamblers are to those;

1. Could stop mid way neither on a great loss or having that huge win.
2. Could be able to control their gambling urge on each sessions
3. Doesnt compromise their life savings
4. Doesnt compromise their priorities in life

Talking literally about making up bets or playing then there are really actually those people or gamblers who are really that sustaining themselves on this gambling field.
Yes, its hard to believe since gambling is really that heavily relying with luck but we do know that there would really be those individuals who are really that surviving despite of such condition.
It would really be just that not something that you are making these things to be your inspiration because on the time that you would really be doing these stuffs then you are
really just that basically putting up yourself on such big trouble. So better be careful with your decisions and just stick about gambling is really just that for the sake of fun.

[Hispo]

I don't personally have the goal to become a professional gambler, someone who lives off their gambling earnings. In my opinion, it would take me to be extremely good at games like poker of blackjack for me to earn in a consistent way from other gamblers. Other games like dices and Plinko are impossible for us to get a constant stream of money out of, so it is a matter of being extremely lucky and now when one is supposed to withdraw.
I have only seems a few professional gamblers on the internet and the personal perception I have of them is that they already had a reliable source of income because getting into the world of gambling, instead building a career as gamblers from the ground up.

Anyone seeking to become a professional gambler should first inform themselves about the postential risks and the implications of one's salary/income be completely dependant on luck...

A professional gambler? Hell No. That is like starting a business on its own. And I am not ready for it. If I were really passionate about gambling and have some follwership on social media, I could consider doing that but we know that if you are from a poor country, you can't have it as an option like a full time employment. That would be the fastest way to get depression. People who live in countries where the government can afford to give welfare and support can consider it. A professional gambler in my country will be out on the streets in a month if they ever do it.

one thing that concerns gambling is that you must to know that losses is paramount in gambling, so I know very well that some Person share their experience of winning in gambling and the some persons also share their experience of their losses in gambling so with that it will not make them to be a professional in gambling because I've not seen anyone who can be proud of itself that is a professional gambler based on gambling is something that happened unexpectedly to anyone so it might be resultant positive for you or neither a negative so that is why gambling is unpredictable that you are assured of winning of this particular match I don't believe from what I've experience so far that we have a professional gamblers

I never know what the future holds, but until now I have no thoughts of becoming a professional gambler in the future. In the meantime, I gamble if I have money that has been met for other more important needs in my life. The rest of all needs I will allocate to gambling.
Gambling is just a hobby at certain times, not a need that I have to do all the time.

Many years ago when I just began to gamble the idea crossed my mind without a doubt, however instead of blindly attempting to do this, I took the time to investigate more about the topic and see if it was possible, and while it was, at the same time I realized how difficult a journey it would be, so I gave up on the spot and I do not think there is a better decision I could take, as I have seen the effects such a decision may have on other people and the results are alarming to say the least.

[dansus021]

Tell me, do you have a goal to be a professional gambler in the future? The answer is No and I was quite shocked after I voted and saw there were other 26 people voted the same as I do.

I already answer and my answer is no because gambler is 50.50 game and there is no guarantee that you are gonna always win in the future maybe you hit a jackpot for quite some time but losing bet is still in the shadow waiting. Unless you are super lucky guy on earth and always win then professional gambler seems a good idea hahahha

[Poker Player]

Personally I had it in the past, but when I started playing poker and reached a certain bankroll level, because of my financial situation at that time it was more convenient for me to stay at that level and withdraw money regularly than to try to reinvest and stay maybe months without being able to withdraw and subject to variance. With time I improved my economic situation and I could have tried to go further but at the same time the panorama had worsened with the tougher tables, rake increase and rakeback decrease and other factors.

So in the end I left it as an activity that gave me an extra income and that's it.

[Kelward]

I've actually fantasized it at one stage when I was quite young that I can be gambling everyday until one day when I'll hit the jackpot and become very rich. When I become older and understood finance and how gambling works then I realized that it's not a feasible plan. Gambling is based on luck and shouldn't be relied on as a primary source of income because you're not sure whether you'll win or lose your money. You can not depend on gambling to pay your bills and take care of all your responsibilities, so it'll be irresponsible for any gambler to consider it as a profession if they don't have any other means of getting money.

It will be wrong for we to depend on gambling as our source of income and for those people making it their only or most important sources of income by choosing gambling as a profession, they are putting their hand in fire. Gambling is going to make you broke more than it can make you rich because only a few percentages of gamblers are making profits. The rest are just giving their money to the casino owners and making them rich. I would better have other sources of income that will make me not to lack cash then I gamble to entertain myself. When you are gambling for fun, you will enjoy gambling more because you do not have pressure to make money therefore your decision are not influenced. Gambling for money is among why people get addicted because they want to win always.

It seems that no, in my religion and country gambling is prohibited. Maybe because there are many cases of murder, theft, and even madness that occur due to not being able to control themselves in gambling. But indeed nowadays I like to do some entertainment to bet in a multyply game. My goal for entertainment is not to become a professional. But maybe some people have become experts and made a profit. I know John Juanda he is a professional poker player from my country. He has won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 5 times. But I don't understand whether he gambles from poker, or if he just plays poker in a tournament. He has received a total prize of 2.3 million USD

You did a good thing for investigate more about the topic before you decide because that is important thing you should know. Using gambling for making a living out is not recommend for anyone because they will feel difficult to make money from gambling. They can lose more money while they will not have a big chance to make money. That is why research is the important thing that we must do before we decide and after we know the truth, we can only use gambling for fun.

We don't have to keep try to win from gambling because we may see many people try that but they fail to make money instead lose more and more money. If we can realizes about that, we will not try to risks our money to make money and we will search for the other ways that can be more potential for us to make money.

To be considered a "Professional Gambler," gambling must be "pursued full time, in good faith, and with regularity, to produce income for a livelihood, and is not a mere hobby; it is a trade or business for the individual. A Professional Gambler makes all or most of their money from gambling as a profession.

I had to check the definition of professional gambling for me to answer this question. And my answer is no. Becoming a professional gambler in my country will be the easiest pathway to poverty, except you are lucky. Gambling wins are not regular. Therefore, one will have to wonder how such gamblers will survive without wins for a long time. The people who often spend most of their time in physical casinos in my area are unemployed individuals who are seeking wins to pay bills. The only people who can survive as professional gamblers are people who have won big or those with enough backup funds.

Well I don't know for other's but I speak for myself and I believe all those show off of people actually making it big time from gambling is all just a mirage and I don't think anyone can actually relate professional gambling as to being a career or something that can constantly fetch you money. And again one thing about gambling that I have come to know is that gamblers actually don't like showing off their loses so what you will ever see is the wins and I for one don't let it get to my head.

Yep, there are many people tricked with "financial freedom" that always been said by motivators, even those motivators still not yet achieving financial freedom. If they have achieve it, they will not create these videos and enjoying their life.

Even businessmen still work for 24/7, only few people can run their business autopilot and it takes a lot time.
