ANYONE here makes a living in gambling?

[Botnake]

I've heard the phrase "making a living in gambling," but I don't know if there are actually people here who have pulled it off. So, this thread is me asking, are there any users who can prove that it's possible to make a living from gambling?

I'm talking about gambling that's not purely based on luck. I'm sure you're aware of games where skill plays a role like poker and especially sports betting, which is pretty popular.

Is anyone here doing this long-term? If so, I'd love to hear your insights because I'm interested in following this path.

I’m 100% sure that no one can do this in long term due to the house edge and volatility of luck based game such as slot games.

The only way to possible do this is by taking bonus on every deposit that you made while those bonus has low wagering requirements and can be use immediately as bankroll.

I saw many bonus cheater done this before. They always avail the bonus then play using the bonus first and wait until they hit huge win then complete the wager. They typically terminate the bonus in case the bonus balance was already depleted then move on to creating new account to avail same bonus.

I do not make living through gambling neither do I gamble regularly, the reason for this is to maintain a healthy gambling practice than sinking or getting routed into gambling where it would have to hamper my daily activities and overall general life performance. From my understanding, there are people who are making living out of gambling but then, how is their entire life behavior and are they not affecting people around them negatively? And of course, making a living from gambling connotes every possibilities of getting involve to addiction and whatever someone gets addicted to gambling we know what that is right?

The OP already stated that he’s not talking about games based purely on luck. So to keep the discussion more relevant to us, we can focus on sports betting and how to make a living from it.

There aren’t many replies yet, but maybe someone will eventually share their experience and prove that they’re actually making a living from sports betting. If that happens, we might learn something especially if they provide solid proof or a convincing narrative.

For now, it’s still just a dream. Making a living from gambling, especially sports betting, would be a huge achievement for any regular gambler.

I would like to know the answer from users in this forum too, but I speculate no one in this forum making a living in gambling.

Why not? there are 8 Billion of people, 1 from 8 Billion is possible, not to mention casinos limit certain gamblers who often win. Even though the house edge and juice make the gamblers not profitable in the long run, but there's always someone who very lucky to beat the system.

I can't answer this because I am not doing it. But I am really curious if there are real people who do this kind of job. I mean, I've seen movies with stories that will make one person think it is possible through different strategies like "counting cards" but one will have to be a genius to make it happen.

Still, I bet there are existing people who can do this but by different means, scams, or tricks, like that popular guy who tinkered with slot machines so he could win most of the time on his target slot machines. But when it comes to online gambling playing casinos, that cannot happen since everything is under the control of the online casino and only hackers have the possibility to cheat.

This is a thread that I’ll most definitely keep an eye on - as for me I don’t make a living with gambling and I’m not praying that a condition comes to my life or happens to me that will force me to take gambling as a source of making a living for myself.

Skill or luck gambling is not something that one should oook up to as a means to earn a living - I don’t know of anyone that have been able to pull it off - the only group of people that were able to make it in gambling were those that were lucky enough to hit a huge jackpot in gambling but as for the others they tend to lose and win as they move on with gambling.

I overlooked the content which I thought the opposite about pure luck. Thanks for the correction.

I saw some user like Gekkelberg manage to frequently won against the casino using sports betting. The only cons is he always involved with issue against the casino because most probably he is using a method like arbitrage betting that makes his EV positive.

In general, There’s no way to continuously gain profit on sports betting because casino will restrict or limit your account if you are not profitable for them.

Why not? there are 8 Billion of people, 1 from 8 Billion is possible, not to mention casinos limit certain gamblers who often win. Even though the house edge and juice make the gamblers not profitable in the long run, but there's always someone who very lucky to beat the system.

You’re correct but I wonder if this lucky player is in the forum. I watch closely too.

I have a close neighbour who does and I will say most of the times he is always winning the house. I don't know if it's a pure talent or he has some hidden source but all I know is he is comfortable and all I can say he does is recheck his bet slips as many times as necessary and at the end he lives a comfortable life with his family meeting all his basic and essential needs

From my findings he has been doing this for a long time and he didn't start making a living from it overnight. He have also recorded huge losses in time past but he persistented and that is how he was able to crack the code that works for him. He stakes huge and his rewards are also huge. Big enough to cover for his losses.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

To make a living from gambling is very hard and emotion hunting, like have always said before now, I know of this man in my are who normally spend all his day at the betting shop and yet he provides his family, I can not tell if he has other source of income or skill job that he works on but I know that he is more frequent at the bet shop and you can have no doubt that he is just a full time gambler. If that's just what he is doing to get money, then he is making a live from it. For me, I can not rely on gambling as a source of income.

Exactly, Gambling is not a financial tool to use on making a living. Securing a decent job is much better than gambling even if you have the skills because there’s always a risk that you can lose everything with one bad game with uncontrolled emotions.

Even some success gambler like Dana white lose a huge amount in one game just because they are drunk while gambling.


I never saw a user here in the forum that post regularly his betting stats with positive profit in the long run.

Pretty sure people who live like this are either A, really REALLY rich already or B, use gambling instead as a method to earn money, not as the sole source. This can vary from referrals, bet groups or something, or content creation via sponsorship. There isn't any single gambler imo that solely lives off of winnings regularly. Even a big win will inevitably dry up if they keep playing/gambling after all.

If you REALLY wanted to go on that path, I'd go for either referrals or content creation. Probably the most reasonable method to go into gambling while earning money in a stable-ish manner.

Winning in gambling is not guaranteed, even if the game is game you don't depend on luck but skills, winning is still not certain.  It will be difficult to make a living from gambling.  If gambling was a game whereby winning is 50/50  am sure people can depend on it . But it will be so terrible to depend on gambling as a source of living , because you dont have any choice than for you to put all your money in gambling trying to get more money. If you dont even take time you may even do stupid things to gamble to make money.

Like they usually say “the house always wins” so if you see anyone here claiming to have been winning since they entered into gambling you’ll know that they are either lying, extremely lucky or just got into gambling not long ago - because if you’re truly gambling and spending a good amount of money and time in gambling then you should be able to realise that gambling isn’t built to make you money but instead for casino owners to make money.

If there's anyone here that tells you that they are making a living off gambling it's a lie. I used to believe people actually make daily profit from gambling but I found out that it's impossible to achieve. A lot of people especially punters post their wins on social media to get people's attention so they can sell out their games, these punters actually have other things that fetch them Money asides from gambling. Gambling can't be a source of income because you cannot always predict futuristic outcomes no matter how good you think your analysis might be, you can't win everyday.

[salad daging]

If anyone makes a living from gambling can they sustain long term? I don't think it's possible especially since gambling relies on luck even if you have skills, it still doesn't guarantee in the long run.

Never made a living in gambling - so I interpret gambling to be for fun and throwing money at games is gambling.

So if you take it seriously then this is too much, although I will not judge it, but still relying on gambling for a living is something that cannot be relied on.

[Oluwa-btc]

Making a living or surviving using gambling isn't accredited and a guaranteed source to a successful life.People that make huge wins from gambling are obviously skilled with knowledge.
Asides from one or two consecutive times where a gambler gets extremely lucky from gambling, I'm pretty sure such influence doesn't last longer than expected.
Perhaps,every gamblers that wishes to make a living from gambling should endeavor to pay attention and weigh pros and cons involved and prepare to put in the right efforts required to excel.

I have never heard of anyone making a living by gambling. By gambling, someone's fingers swell overnight and become a banana tree, someone becomes a beggar overnight. Then how can gambling be a way to make a living? Do you want to walk on this road? Then, I will say that destruction is happening at every step of this road. The husband is afraid of losing everything in an instant. Then how can gambling be a way to make a living? It can never be the right solution to make a living. So try to make a way to make a living through your actions, not gambling.

Making a living from gambling can quit be a difficult task if you ask me. though I have heard from some guys who claims it is possible to make a living from gambling, but I haven't seen how that is possible. When I asked they said betting huge amount with lesser odd can be a good strategy like betting $100 on a 1.50 or 2 odd. And this will be played on a gambe that is likely to play maybe it may be studied for sometime before betting. But even as that guy has explain that, there is still a possibility of not making a living from it because I believe that in betting or gambling the possibility of loss is always higher than the win, so hence there is no guarantee of making a living from gambling.

Pretty sure that there are people who do able to make a living with gambling on which specially into those people who are dealing up with sports betting and poker games. Sounds impossible? Yes its possible but not all would really be able to pull it off and it will really be taking up such time and experience or such skills before you can be able to do so specially on poker on which experienced ones could really be able to make that good edge in towards to those who are just that new. Just like been said that it might that sounds impossible but there are gamblers who do able to make it through but of course only on few numbers.

So far i havent been able to reach into a point that you would really be that trying out to make yourself sustainable with gambling or betting or any other forms. Play for fun and not for the money on which sooner or later you will be able to enhance your skills on strategic based games but its just a bad idea on sticking yourself into this kind of mindset.
