What is been professional like to you?

[|MINER|]

Is been responsible with gambling all it takes to be a professional gambler or someone needs to win in the process many times already to be considered a professional gambler?

I have always win less, no reason to lie but I get curious when I see gambling related posts online about people pointing to some gamblers calling them professional and the only vital point of this all is because they won many times in their own way.

What is a been qualified as a professional gambler in your own world? The winning part or the responsible part of trying to avoid addiction is all.

There is nothing has been for qualified as a proffesional gambler because gambling is somthing what can't be assume as a job or proffesional and that's why I personally think that there is no connection between the gambling and the word "professional" even we used it in some while.

And at the same time, I want to say that the only thing that makes gambling just is responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers. Those who understand analysis and at the same time always keep the amount of gambling within their ability to lose are the responsible gamblers.

The term professional can be seen as a result of being best at what a person does meaning everyone can act professional base on their view and features they have to offer. In relate with gambling activity a professional gambler is someone who bet in an experience manner either self discipline, winning regular etc, although it’s hard being so perfect when it comes to gambling maybe because gambling was never meant to be professional.
While thinking about being professional in general we should also consider gambling responsibility and learn to stay out of trouble with the casino probably in this manner you’re actually being sensible in every form including professional.

In my opinion, a professional bettor should be someone who can make a living from sports betting, someone who pays all their bills with sports betting. But what I've seen are people who consider themselves professional bettors but live off their streaming channels, their Telegram channels, and the courses they charge for.

They lie, post about luxury cars and houses, and lie that they bought them thanks to sports betting, but in reality, they bought them thanks to their streaming channels and Telegram channels, which they charge for membership. So, I confess that I haven't seen a professional bettor today. I've seen stories of people who made a lot of money with sports betting in the past.

Being professional isn't just all about winning. But gambling is already a part of your life, maybe it's your attachment to it that makes you a pro.
You know what you are up to and there is no other thing that you do but to gamble and that makes you part of its professional scene.
But if that's how you portray of what a professional is, I won't stop you but just remember that professionals aren't just all about winning.

Being a professional gambler is simple. as the name implies profession+gambling and this means making gambling your source of income. People who do this live on tiny hope and chances. I don't think it's connected to number if times you've won or not, it's more about your dispensation to gambling.

I do not believe in professional gamblers. I see it as lies or ways to mislead some people to think that they can make it from gambling.

I've seen actually, someone has confirmed gambling to be their full-time job to me not once, in a day he stakes on different leagues in both long and short coupons trying out his luck, but to me it's such a miserable situation to put yourself into.

Being a professional gambler simply means that you rely on gambling as a profession, that is, it's primarily what you do for a living and any other thing is secondary, this is what being a professional gambler truly means.

Being a professional gambler doesn't necessarily have to do with how responsible you are with gambling or how much or how many times you win, but then, since gambling is what you do for a living, you have to be so very good in it to ensure you are making enough money off it to live a good life and also give those around you a good life too.
An irresponsible gambler can be a professional if and when gambling is the only thing he or she does for a living and he or she is managing to make good money off it.

A professional gambler is someone who consistently earns profits through skill-based strategy, manages their bankroll with utmost discipline, avoids emotional decisions and dont rash things, and practices responsible gambling to prevent addiction which means only play with the funds that you are ready to loss and accepts it. In other words limitations.

These are some of those that makes someone a professional gambler. Ofcourse kinds included if his always winning.

Yes, it is not about how often you win but about how you make money from it. If you gamble 4 times a year and make huge amount of money than loss, that will be seen as a professional gambler. If someone gamble often it should be for fun because the more often you gamble the more the chances of losing.

I've seen actually, someone has confirmed gambling to be their full-time job to me not once, in a day he stakes on different leagues in both long and short coupons trying out his luck, but to me it's such a miserable situation to put yourself into.

If someone tells me that, I can not yet believe the person until I know about the person very well and making sure that he has no other means of earning money. Such kind of person can be studied for like 2 to 5 years.

On my end, a professional gambler indeed knows how to manage himself in front of his games. He knows when to pause or stop his games as he's considering his resources before plunging himself to trouble. It doesn't mean that he's always winning in my opinion, as long as he can manage his losses. It means, he makes sure he doesn't get broke due to gambling. Most of these professional gamblers can be seen in poker players as well as sportsbettors. In the long run, they can use their skills to gain regular income from these games.

From what I've read here, a professional gambler is:


So, it's clear, it's a combination of:
- Responsible gambling
- Making a living from gambling winnings (this means they gain several times more winnings than losses)
- Self-control over money, risk, emotions, and mentality
- Detailed record of gambling history for fund management
- No addiction, under control.

I still have my reservations on the basics that most people who dedicate most of their time to the extent of doing gambling full-time aren't really winning so much from it, some are actually losing but they're so glued to it that they don't want to think of another means of survival and as a result ruin themselves the more while expecting it to be very profitable for them.

I've seen actually, someone has confirmed gambling to be their full-time job to me not once, in a day he stakes on different leagues in both long and short coupons trying out his luck, but to me it's such a miserable situation to put yourself into.

Yes, the guy in question lives around me and I've observed him well enough to conclude his claims were right. Guess what? He's very poor and still depends in his parents for daily bread even as he's almost 30. It's a big mess and a waste of time and productivity on his account, but sadly, he sees it as a normal thing. Trust me, I distanced myself from him because his character is much of a negative energy I wouldn't want to deal with.

I don't really believe that idea of professional gambling since gambling is a game of luck to a large extent, although sports betting has a mixture of luck and skill. If I want to force myself to accept that idea of professional gambler, I will say it's someone whose only job is gambling. As people dress up to go to work, he prepares to gamble and that is what pays his bills. He may be into other business of gambling but everything have to revolved around gambling, then we can say such a fellow is a professional gambler.

Absolutely! that’s a well grounded perspective. Being a professional gambler isn’t just about winning big but it’s about sustainability and control. Managing emotions, understanding risk, and knowing when to walk away are just as crucial as strategy or odds calculation. You nailed it with the point that many pros especially in poker and sports betting treat it like a discipline, not a thrill ride. They don’t chase losses recklessly and instead they play the long game. I wonder if some forum users here realizes thats its not about the winning but also the losses we incurred and how to limit that is important.

is it required for this someone to be good at gambling and actually win? or as long as he is playing for the sake of winning he’s already a professional? what if he keeps losing but his only source of income is gambling… is he still a professional then?

You are absolutely right bud, who ever claims to be a professional gambler and the same gambling isn't what is paying his or her bills, then such person is lying to himself and those who care enough to listen and believe his claim of being a professional gambler.

This days with alot of things people can do to make money legitimately even on the internet, I don't see why anyone would prefer to become a professional gambler knowing fully well that making money from gambling is luck dependent and there day he can go on a long losing streak which may lead him into financial issues or instabilities.
It is very important for people to choose their career wisely as wrong choices often lead to regrets in the future.

Professional gambling requires a lot, some says it solely dependent on long term but I don't see it that way. Being professional means you're able to unwind procedures that keep you on the verge of controlling all the activities you're involved with in gambling.But it's not the mindset that one need to take gambling as a long term priority before you're been spelt out as a professional.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

For me, a professional gambler is someone that is responsible, being a responsible gambler means you have the experience of what gambling really is and you also know about the risks of gambling and you don't take irresponsible risk that can make you lose your money unnecessarily because normally gambling is an activity where many people are losing more than they have won, so you have to be very reasonable not to gamble with the amount you can not afford to lose (taking huge risks). Based on the comments I have read here before concerning this similar discussion, some people believe that professional gamblers are just successful gamblers which I don't agree.

[maydna]

Yes, if you can be responsible with gambling, that means you know how to treat gambling. You will not just follow your passion but you also know that gambling is just an activity like the others. You will not pass the process to become a professional gambler because you know that it is difficult for you.

You let others do what they want especially if they want to be a professional gambler. Becoming a professional gambler means you don't feel compelled to chase the win or keep gambling every day because you have other things to do. The responsibility will be parts to avoid gambling addiction.

Many people think that those who win more in gambling are considered as professional gamblers. But I do not think that it is possible to select a professional gambler based on winnings alone. Some professional gamblers may have more winnings than others, and some may not, but professional gamblers have some characteristics that are completely different from ordinary gamblers. An ordinary gambler can sometimes win more than a professional gambler, but they are not professional gamblers and their gambling behavior is not like professionals. A professional gambler has some special qualities such as the ability to control himself in gambling, professional gamblers do not bet randomly, they do good research in betting, observe a specific event well and bet with a principle. They do not bet to win more after winning or do not bet aggressively to recover losses even if they lose. Moreover, a professional gambler has good knowledge about how to manage risk and how to manage money. I think we can consider those who have these qualities as professional gamblers.

[Botnake]

I don't think or believe there is anything called a professional gambler, in fact let me break it down a bit. When talk about professional we are referring to someone who can control themselves while gambling and also knowing when to stop, when to start and how much they should used to gamble or not to gambling. When all these are being put in places we can say that such person is a responsible gambler, because they weren't allowing gambling to over-will them neither are they gambling for money making even though our attention is being focused on that but at least they are also bearing the risk by using what they can afford to lose while gambling.

All the qualities you mentioned are already part of what a professional gambler has. They call themselves that because they’re in it to make money, not just for entertainment. But let’s not assume that being a “professional” means they’re raking in tons of cash. Some are profitable, some aren’t, the only difference is they take gambling seriously. Still, no matter how skilled or experienced, the outcome is never guaranteed.
