ANYONE here makes a living in gambling?

[I_Anime]

Every gambler who sees gambling as a means of earning money when every game is a game of chance should be ready for whatever his/her naive understanding of the game will lead to.

With all certainty that can be called ignorance, because before playing, players should know or at least ask themselves how casinos work or how casinos make a living, then when they start to investigate they will see that there is something called the house edge, and that the house always Wins , and with that you have to get the idea that you can't win against the house and that the option of Playing in a casino as a fixed income or a job is not something Considerable , then the Answer is right there.

That's why you have to be wise and do it for fun not for the money , most people that endup winning always have a story to tell , usually how they experience countless losses during the journey before reaching where they are now (as a winner) . So don't be deceive when you see others posting their wins via social medias they all have experience massive losses before hitting that jackpot , so that's enough to tell you that gambling is not something you can use to earn a living because the wins ain't fixed you can even lose the little money you had before going into it ,

The urgent desire of making quick money from gambling has made of them to lose their brain of thinking, they are not even giving a thought to what the outcome of their gambling lifestyle would become when they continue to gamble for the sake of getting rich or making a living out of it. It becomes so intense that they can easily become addicted and lost everything they even had.

@LUCKMCFLY You have a point about gamblers first considering the understanding of what the house edge means and the chance of them winning against the house but we still have some gamblers who understand all this and still consider gambling as a means of earning. I don't know maybe it is because they fully trust their knowledge or they are naive enough to know the facts about gambling but still choose to ignore it.

@I_Anime Yes, we need to be wise to see gambling as a fun benefit. However, we can ignore it as a game of chance either, or else we won't work hard on the area that need an attention, research, etc. Besides, there won't be a reason to play the game again.

You know, it’s really fascinating and and pitiful how those who consider gambling for it’s profitability or hoping to get quick riches from gambling never pause for a moment to think about how much they’ve lost and are still losing on their quest to become rich through gambling. It’s as if this whole pursuit just of a thing just has just stolen their rational thinking or ability to evaluate the situation before taking certain decisions, and I keep wondering why it’s so.

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.

If you talk about skill, well, skill is something a person have learnt and mastered how to do, so personally, I think it's very possible for a person to make a living off gambling by strictly focusing on skilled games. But on the other hand, such a person must ensure he or she has mastered that skill so well and get a good level of guarantee that if he or she plays (for example) 10 rounds of games, he or she will confidently win 6 or 7 out of the 10 rounds, this is the only way a person can actually make a living off gambling.

And speaking of betting on sports, betting on sports is not a skilled game or a game of skill, sports betting is a game of knowledge, you put your knowledge in sports to work and not skill, and because of this, I personally don't think it's possible for anyone to make a good living off sports betting alone, as sometimes, predicting a game correctly can be very difficult, it's possible to go on a long streak of loses because winning in sports betting still has some strings of luck attached to it., it's a kind of half luck-based game and half knowledge-based game.

Well, the truth is you are absolutely right , the iceberg is not just what you see , it is what is deep down that really matters, for that reason, the winners only focus on the triumphant part, but before publishing something like that they should say how much it has cost them to get to where they are, how much they have had to spend, at least give a round number, because what you say is true, many people get excited, because they say if he won then I can too, that's where it all begins.

[Agbe]

There is no such person that, will survive on gambling alone. For the records gambling should not be seen by anyone as a viable source of income, because there is no sure guarantee of of you making money from gambling. Winning in gambling is rear so hoping on such a thing as a source of income is insane, the end result will not be favorable to anyone because anyone putting hope on gambling will be left stranded at the end of the day.

Yep. People only see the surface level, the success stories, the highlight of each gamble but the real deal doesn't reveal itself unless you're the one who's facing it. It's normal that winners will share some jackpots, but the journey is not easy, it's very misleading to other people, for me I call it as noise only. You need to spend more effort in gambling, not only that but money and time wasted in gambling looking for a win, worst case scenario is to have mental breakdown because of lose streak. If people don't know that, they will believe that gambling is an easy way to make money which can lead more life destruction and that's why people are making risky decisions because of those emotions, and it can lead to addiction if worst factors are met.

[Dickiy]

For some types of games that require skills and knowledge such as sports betting, yes, maybe making it a place to make a living is possible, but one thing we must remember is that gambling is still gambling, meaning that even though for example you have specific data that makes you confident in predicting does not mean the results will actually win.

In sports betting it is not uncommon for me to see a team that is much more favored to lose to a weak team, even a team that is almost relegated, this means that you will definitely lose in that situation, meaning that defeat will still occur, which is what makes me hesitate to make gambling my main income.

As far as I know, plenty of people dream of that, but it’s another thing entirely to actually pull it off. It’s not easy to do unless you're an expert cheater in online casinos, because only cheaters can really manipulate things like that.

In reality, no one has truly made gambling in casinos a stable, long-term job. Have there even been reports of anyone doing this?
As far as I’m concerned, there haven't been any."

And many players enter with that thought, when they know nothing , when they don't Read and know little , hopes and playing for fun and emotions cause these kinds of things , that's why in the game you must be very cautious, always play with great Restraint and it's the best thing , it's money we will lose, I think people sometimes Forget that.

Maybe those who make player props, you know our local content creators like Patricio from Ligong Pula Nation and Yeidad. I know that is what supports them. Their niche is gambling, so we can say they make living through gambling-related content.
But if we specifically talk about someone who gambling for a living purely by personally betting on gambling platforms, it is hard to find such person. Content creators like them are many, but full time bettors are rare that make gambling for a living.

It’s a common thing you would find on YouTube and TikTok maybe but, not so much on this forum, naaahh, we haven’t got gamblers that have got that high rate of successful gambling.
For the few that exist, you would find them having to do this with the lad based casinos where they could tip the scale in their favour by finding loopholes to exploit and it works well for a time before it’s blown.

99.99% is not making a living. I say 99% lose more money than they win if they continue playing for days, weeks and months. You should only gamble when you want to have some fun and knowing you will lose money or with sportsbook if you find good odds and want to believe in your favorite team. To make a living it's impossible to make more than you lose because the house edge means you bleed money the more you bet.

What I think is the best solution is to believe gambling is like throwing a dice one time per day to see if you have some magical luck but if not you don't lose a lot and don't destroy your life.

Yeah, thinking that gambling can be a way to make a living is something people should avoid. We see people who gamble posting their winnings online, which can make us thinking it seem they’re earning a lot of money from gambling, In reality, those people rarely share their losses. What we see is only one side of the story to lure people to follow him. I believe only about 0.01% of people actually win a jackpot and manage to change their lives with that money.

[Dr.Osh]

I'm not sure about making a long-term profit from gambling. No matter how good someone's skills are, they will still rely on luck. Skill is needed in gambling, but luck plays a bigger role. Maybe someone will make a profit, but that's only 1 person in 1 million.

gambling shouldn't be taken as a source of income and I don't think anyone crazy enough to make just gambling a means of livelihood because gambling is a game and at any time it is possible to end up losing that is why it is very important to reduce your expectations and hope to make profit. Gambling cannot be anyones only source of income,  living like this isn't really possible, gambling isn't a  source of income
