ANYONE here makes a living in gambling?

If anyone says they make a living by gambling, they are definitely lying.
Gambling means luck and it is not possible for a person to be lucky all the time.
Even if it is a game played with knowledge, luck is definitely required.
If you try to do this with sports betting, you still have to be lucky.
In short, I never believe that there is such a person. Sometimes people get lucky and win well, but sometimes they don't get lucky and lose a lot.

To be fair, the quote said "in gambling", not "by gambling", so although I absolutely agree with your point, that is, that most people will never be able to earn a living by gambling, because the odds are against them, the fact is that some people actually do earn a massive amount of money in gambling, that is, the owners of the casinos.

It's just simple math and probabilities, since the odds are against the gamblers, it means that the casinos always win in the long term, and that means that whoever owns the casinos are getting richer every day, and that's in gambling.

For those people that rely on gambling as a source of income, what they don't realize is that gambling can not intentionally make them to reach that goal. Even some of the rich people that are spending thousands of dollars in gambling for just a day, they didn't become rich with gambling income, they had some investments and business or a professional career that is generating a steady income for them. But some people just want to become rich through gambling, which is very difficult to archive

And the more those who want to become rich through gambling tries to make that their dream work the more they will end up losing the little they have already acquired through the professional or skill jobs that they render to others which they pay them that money in return, unless they become lucky it’s never really easy to win the casino up to the extent that you will be consider successful base on the winnings you have accumulated from the system.

I don't know anyone who makes a living from gambling in the long term. I also don't know many public figures who claim to do so. Even among those who claim to make a living from gambling in the long term, there are many scammers. I know a few bloggers who believe they make money from gambling in the long term, but I have also seen their claims debunked by other bloggers. In general, it is always very difficult and even if a person claims to make money from gambling, this needs to be carefully checked. And such a check does not always indicate the veracity of the words of the person being checked. On the other hand, if you manage to get even a little closer to the possibility of honestly making money from gambling, this will indicate that you have a very high intelligence.

Winning at the casino isn't easy for a gambler who isn't very experienced in Gambling. A lazy people want to be rich overnight by gambling. Gambling isn't a permanent way to get rich easily. Gambling isn't a skill of self-development. Gambling is a entertainment; if people take it as entertainment, then they put their concentration on that to help them to win the event. If a person wants to win at every step then they hold themselves anxious in his game. in this way, he makes mistake that defeated him in that event. For that they will lose the match.

Not all gambling is all about luck, some of them has more to do with other things than luck because with the right skills that some people have, they can make use of it to make money from gambling. Sport betting isn't all about luck but also experienced because after knowing more about the teams playing,you can make correct predictions and not only depending on luck but most people claiming to be living off gambling are actually lying but there are some people that can be lucky to be living off gambling effortlessly. Some people are very lucky that anything that they're doing, they'll be winning while the rest of the others doing the same thing aren't being as lucky as they're getting. I have heard of people that have won the lottery multiple times and with that money they can live comfortably for a very long time.

It's a fact and it cannot be bent. We can use our deep wallets but we will still lose. We can strategize all we want but we will still lose. At the end of the day, it's still the businessman who wins, and all of us gamblers have some losses that are now the property of the owner of the online casino or the physical one. I think what we can only do is minimize our gambling habits. We can play, that's not a problem but when we are out of control spending thousands of dollars or larger than that, I think we are messing with the wrong industry. It's too risky to do that in gambling.

I thought that we are talking about getting profit from the gambling but not about addiction oO I don`t care if they are gambling addicts. If it is your main income - i think that it is really hard to get money from the game without addiction, or it can be call addiction for common gambler.
I think that i answered that question, but i can repeat. It takes too much resources to combine sport betting and the job. My salary higher than my medium income from gambling for that period. I understand that i can get enough money from gambling for living but from my job i get more money. I think that it is easy enough to understand.

No, people can be getting funds and also make a living out of gambling without being an addict. But s/he has to start with combining something with gambling. There's no way someone will focus mainly on gambling as a source of income and not be a gambling addict.

The thing you said about the hardship of combining your job with gambling is understandable, and it is good to focus on one thing that's profitable rather than being busy with something that's not profitable, which could also act as an obstacle to the profitable thing you're into.

If gambling is additional income - it is possible not to become gambling addict, but from the beginning of the thread we are talking about gambling as a main income. So i think that these guys are gambling addicts, until they change their income at least. It can be i a problem, but i don`t see that they cares about it. On the other hand in any profession we get some "professional deformation". For them it is a job with its deformation. If some moment it would become unprofitable and they change their occupation i`ll can say something about their addiction.

My job and my gambling both were profitable, lots of families in my country get summary income less than i got from gambling. The job just more profitable. And gambling was another kind of job, with its specialty. And i`m a live man, i have family, friends, hobbies. In that style of living, i had during gambling + job - i had no time for it.

As far as I know, the famous blogger Arsen Markaryan earned income from playing poker for a long time.
He was a good player, but not the best. In order to ensure his long-term winnings, he used a clever trick.

Arsen Markaryan was known not only as a poker player, but above all as a biohacking and healthy lifestyle specialist. Since he was a popular blogger, he had many fanatical followers and fans. He invited them to his place and offered to play poker for money. They happily agreed to his offer, as they were very flattered to play a game of poker with their idol.

At the same time, Arsen Markaryan did not make such an offer to everyone, but only to those whom he identified as a weak player. As a result, he beat them and earned money from it.

All gambling has to have some random element to it, otherwise it cannot be legally considered gambling.

That means that all gambling has luck involved, and also all casinos put their own odds, which of course they decide to keep them to their advantage.

So, even on sports betting, where you might have better odds, the chances are that the casino will win more money in the end.

Even if you have inside information from one event (which is probably illegal anyway), the casino will eventually recover if you keep gambling. And that's assuming you win in that insider's bet, which you might also lose.

That’s why I keep telling folks that the only strategy that will work for you in gambling is minimizing your gambling and same Time minimizing your losses ,

Don’t always set your mind for wins because you will not always win there are going to be countless of losses is left for you to find out ways you can prevent such , like not Gabon regularly and avoid using money you can not afford to lose .

Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. It's an expensive hobby.

In the end, the money will flow towards the casino, the math is just proof of that.

If the gambler can afford to do that, then it's all good.

The problems start when a gambler spends more than what they can actually afford.

That's exactly my point. There's no way any gambler in the world will make a living only through gambling and won't lead to addiction. That's why I encourage the idea of doing something else and making gambling a probability additional way of income since winning in every game is not guaranteed due to the high chance of the house winning in every game.
Yes, there's always deformation in every profession, and that's why we have to let the OP who asks this question know that making a living out of gambling is not a good idea.

It is good that your gambling life is profitable, and I am happy you were able to walk away from the game despite how profitable it was because we have a situation where some people see it as something hard to do.

If that insider information comes from someone reliable, so reliable that you’d be willing to mortgage your house for it then take that opportunity. One big bet could change your life and make you a profitable gambler.

But when we talk about living off gambling, that means doing it consistently. And the thing is, insider info isn’t something you can rely on all the time.

Yes, that's pretty muich spot on.

Maybe someone somewhere will get lucky once, with insider information, and that might happen.

But as you say, that is actually quite a rare occurrence, and most probably the gambler will lose money since the odds are against them.

Even if they manage to win, when the gambler continues, then eventually all money will be lost.

Not only is luck a big part of the play but even if somebody is able to pull this off and make a living off gambling, it would not work infinitely.

It may work for an year or two or it MAY work for somebody who hits the jackpot and is able to retire early in life.  But if by making a living through gambling you mean people who make their own monthly salary earnings out of gambling, chances of this happening successfully over decades is close to none.  We all hit a low spot in life at least once and one thing you should NOT do is gamble when you are mentally or emotionally vulnerable.  That is one way to lose your money really fast.

[Japinat]

Not only is luck a big part of the play but even if somebody is able to pull this off and make a living off gambling, it would not work infinitely.

This depends on the kind of game a gambler is playing. When we say a gambler can make a living, that already implies consistency.

For example, if someone is making a living through sports betting, I don’t think that will just stop in the future. The leagues will continue, and as long as the gambler stays updated and their method keeps working, it won’t become obsolete.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

Making a living in gambling is not as easy as it may seems and most definitely one can achieve that but the chances of getting losses will be high  and pulling off will be that hard cause they must have been stucked into gambling addictions having bent on getting a living out of it. And if it's not based on luck I think that will be quite indefinite but you can't involve in gambling activities and in one way or the other your luck won't be involved, yes you can tend to make use of some strategies and this is applicable to some games you play so in other words it's kinda hard to make a living in gambling not purely based on lucks.

Does insider information exist? I don't believe on it because it's a game of luck and the insider informations are not always accurate for one to sell his house to shake on it. It's just consistency and high staking that make one live a life out of gambling not all these insider informations, if you rely on it you will end up destroying your life, because game can Mar or make you.

Taking gambling as your only  source of income is not a good idea you won't make it in life, because you won't be lucky all the time. Gambling is profitable when you stake on 2 sure odds with huge sum. Staking on plenty games is more risky if one wants to make a living from it.

This kind of thinking is a form of reaction to a lack of self-confidence and those who are already bothered to find alternatives to earn or rather they are also lazy to look for income and only want to find easily and fun so gambling is always an alternative that they want to do.

We cannot prohibit such decisions because in the end we must realize that one of the people who will be difficult to give advice to is those who gamble so we only need to keep ourselves from being bound by such behavior. As for those who are still doing the same thing where they seek wealth in gambling, then indeed this is difficult to stop by others, they can only realize for themselves that the decision was a mistake.

we all know the point of consideration here. generally, there are a lot of people around the gambling sphere who make a fortune out of gambling but never lose. for instance, if you visit my country, you will find a lot of gambling shops that are owned by people who sometimes dont even gamble in the first place, for them, they might be making a living out of the gambling business by just investing their money In setting up the business, but the real gamblers that visit their to gamble can not boldly say that they are making a living from gambling.

the basic thing is that gambling was never meant to be a source of living. it is ideally what we are supposed to do for fun after we are done with our work which is the main source of our livelihood. Once you start looking at gambling as a means of making a living, you automatically fall into that category of people who will gamble every day of their lives because they want to win so they can put food on the table, that state is even worse off than being a gambling addict.
