ANYONE here makes a living in gambling?

[Russlenat]

I mostly see this in YouTube videos where influencers talk about how to make a living from sports betting, but in real life I haven’t actually met anyone doing it. I believe it’s not impossible, but the success rate is probably very low, which is why only a few manage to pull it off.

Just imagine if one day we figure it out, life would be so easy. You could make money anytime, anywhere, just because you have the skill to predict winners most of the time and call yourself a pro gambler.

There are videos about this, and they’re pretty interesting to watch.

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.

Am not, but alot of persons does use gambling as a means of livelihood,but not as compared to those numerous persons that gamble, it is risky since Betting is based on a calculating or even unknown risk and is seen to be greatly dependent on one's luck and chance. Therefore to fully depend on gambling for your daily needs and other expenses of your family, I see it as an optional job because you can't win often, and winning big comes once in a while also if you want to win big in gambling, you don't have to gamble with small money, you have to stake high,top gamblers stake high.

Theres always that guy at the end of Goodfellas of course.    If you honestly got the knowledge to predict races better then the bookies I reckon its a certain outcome in average consideration at least;  for most people that level of skill is untouchable and takes a life time to acquire pretty much.

I know of people who've taken the quick shortcut and got the fix info before but also I know of people who've been caught so its hardly a risk free enterprise even when totally corrupt, invariably people always notice that winning streak.


More likely is those who have won big and kept enough winnings to say it made me.   Put your winnings in to your amazing pie making business then sure I believe it, happy to hear of great success just every day earning from gambling seems so unlikely to be fair.

It's possible.

I've got some friends that they're making a living with sports betting. They're all trying to market the casino that they have been affiliated with. I think it's been tough but doable for them.

But with what I've seen with them, they start to lie low with gambling full time when they're able to make some money with it. Being wise, they've started some businesses and that's where they have focused their time while doing sports betting as part time.

I wonder how bettors practice gambling skills accurately meanwhile it’s very difficult. At first it might sound easy not until you discover gambling skill is not always right probably learning continuous might help, gambling as a source of income is very risky what might happen next when they don’t get to win for a very long time. I have never seen anyone practicing gambling just to meet ends meet rather I do hear stories relating to gambling as a source of income at last they end up not making money but, from my observation gamblers who fall under this category don’t have other things to do like a job.

I think that’s a different thing as that’s called being an affiliate. It’s easy to do if you’re popular online and can partner with casinos. But when we talk about making a living, we’re referring to winning consistently and being profitable in sports betting, not the other way around.

I don't make a living gambling. I just study gambling. Also, there are very few people who can make money gambling in the long term. I think the number of such people is significantly lower than 1% of the total sample of players. I read statistics from one sports betting site, they cited figures of 0.01%. So there are such people, but they are extremely rare. And they are not interested in sharing their secrets. Basically, long-term profit is possible in sports betting and poker, maybe in other gambling card games.

If this person truly exists surely they are among the luckiest on the planet and they have a leperchan for a friend or something of the sorts hahaha. Its defnitely not common but it is rare and I do think that some select few individuals are both lucky and have a very particular set of skills in the games they are playing that can give them just the right edge to make a living doing this. But even those guys will have their fair share of "burns" and no way they can win win win every single time, we, are only human after all.

Maybe there are those among us who earn this way, but I don't think their earnings are based solely on gambling, as it still doesn't seem to me to be a very stable source of income. Of course, these are primarily poker players who can earn money, for example, at poker tournaments. If we talk about earning money from card games in general, then there is such a game as bridge, which is a kind of sport. Professional sports bridge players can earn prize money at various tournaments, including international ones.

Many people may be able to make a living by gambling but I can never think of making a living by gambling because I think it is never possible to make a living by earning money from gambling. When it is considered the main means of earning a living, he will gradually become addicted to gambling. And when a person becomes addicted to gambling, he will suffer more in the name of making a living. Gambling is just a part of entertainment, so it is important for everyone to accept gambling as entertainment.

[Platinumys]

Job gives monthly salary and monthly salary is guaranteed but gambling is not sure whether a person will win or lose money by gambling so I think this uncertainty should not really be depended on. A gambler must first establish a source of income. If a gambler without high income starts gambling and he and his family depend on gambling then I think that gambler and his family will suffer badly depending on gambling alone. Gamblers are always advised to gamble with a certain amount of money while having a source of income so that the gambler does not get into financial trouble with the family.

OP; @Botnake ;The answer: Yes and/or No to your question, it should not influence you, that is just by taking it as what it simply is... another individual's experience.

First of all, you should be more explicit since using the adjective "living" sounds like; it doesn't matter if you pay the bills, if you have enough to eat it works.

I would suggest that you do the following calculation OP, calculate how much you need to pay your bills + responsibilities, and include travel, fun, etc = extra money, then, determine how much you need daily ROI to meet that amount, also if the size of your bet works within an adequate margin of your bankroll, so, you can live off of betting.

Then, this is not about having a perception, feeling like a winner, having a "month" of profits, or reading another player's experiences and saying; "I can do it," no, those things are not played with, variance is a statistical phenomenon.

A few days ago, someone told me that using a 1:500 strategy was boring because it was a small bet, of course, if we are talking about $100, but it is not if we are talking about $10,000 or perhaps, depending on the type of player, it still is small bet. Now I ask you, do you know what the bet size is in each of the cases mentioned above?

Success rate is really that indeed low but there are tons of people who are really that trying out to achieve such situation because we are already wary that you can indeed make a living with gambling. It is really just that the chances or odds are really just that low and tons of people do messed up their lives because they do fail on doing so. When we do speak about skill or knowledge based gambling or betting then this is something that will really be giving out that kind of edge into those people who do have that sufficient knowledgeable it specially on sports betting or with poker on which you can be able to tell about the probabilities on which you can make or achieve out such condition. Making a living with it is a bad idea because the odds or chances are really that low but its really that possible but not everyone can pull off.

On an individual then its best that you should really be that betting on the amount on which you can afford to lose without even minding about on making it as a living with it, because being that optimistic is really that giving out that negative results instead.

I know some people in the IRL who have made a living out of it. Most likely, the funds came from their parents, and then the only thing they could do was gamble and not do any other tasks at hand. They are not living to do something; they are just gambling. I know they bet around $1000-$2000 per bet, and that's their usual. It isn't very comforting if you were to do that, but if that's all you do, I think it's doable.

[TheUltraElite]

Earning a living from gambling can have different implications, mind you.

One can be investing in a casino and make good money from the bankroll. One can be a part of the casinos promotional team and work it just like any other 9-5 job. Or they can be making blogs and sharing their referral links to get the money from the downlines.

Most people in the gambling are not playing to win, they are winning because they do everything other than playing.

I tried to make sport betting my main income and i can say that it nice experiment. But i tried to combine it with my main job and after few months i understood that i have to choose just one of these incomes. As the result - gambling lost. But i`ve got more money than average salary in my country.
I don`t plan to prove something, but i know that it is possible but really difficult - it becomes a job.

Yes, I will not do it gambling as a livelihood, although many gamblers have skills or expertise in some form of gambling, there are many factors or aspects that still depend on luck and still the success factor cannot be predicted. If we continue to rely on gambling to meet our daily needs, I think it is a very risky decision and can cause you stress and leave many financial burdens that are much greater or prolonged.

It is important for us to realize in this case, for everyone that gambling should be seen or played only as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make a living, If someone chooses to gamble, they must do so consciously, and must set a budget limit that is set in gambling so as not to affect your money before to meet your daily needs.

I have seen people who have try to make gambling a way of life, that is they try to make it a way of living, to make their daily income off it. This is something I don’t think is possible because at the end they lose more than they gain. Even with much analysis games will always turn out different. As for me I don’t use gambling as way of living. I gamble, even if it not most of the time but I see how difficult it is to predict 5 matches correctly.

I feel you enjoy gambling more when you play for fun rather than playing it as a way of livelihood. It could cause you so many damages, both mentally and emotionally. We have seen many people take their own lives because gambling have failed them, these are people who have try to make gambling a way of living.

Is obvious that those who chooses to make a source of income through gambling are those people who does not have something doing I mean skill or job that can serve as their source of getting money which is why most people have decided to make gambling being thier source of income, without knowing that they are making a very Big mistake. Honestly I have never seen anyone who is making a living through gamble, because there's no amount of skill/strategies he will apply that will prevent him from losing in gamble. This is why is very hard for someone to make a living through gamble.

I have not heard of any such people yet but even if I come across such news I wouldn't encourage anyone to try this out.
It's not practically feasible to sustain profits from gambling over a long period of time.
This is the sole reason to avoid trying such a thing and even if someone successfully does it, we should refrain from promoting it.
Gambling involves luck and not everyone would be as lucky as others who have won a lot from it.
