Both gambling and trading are risk based activities most especially when you trading in volatile markets like cryptocurrency assets, so i may have to tell you to get a stable steady paying job, that you can depend on,  if you do either of the two you mentioned, you are setting your self up for a massive loses.

Gambling should be for fun and if you noticed that you are over gambling in form of addiction you need to stop, so to avoid that you must gamble within the limits.

Their are many who it favour,many survived by trading or gambling it depends on how intelligent and understanding goes but many don't understand the difference how it works,that's why they failed and started asking how ,but it's very important if you have other means of survival incase gambling or trading failed you can still stand on your ground by facing it partially.

If we're talking about the real "survival", even working in worst job will make you survive because if you act sincere and willing to share your story on social medias, people will help you, either they give you money, food or better job. That's we're talking about survival, it just to make you able to live, not to have a lot of money.

If someone know you're poor, but you're a gambler, it will decrease the chance people will help you because they gambling is a mistake.

You have to be very foolish to ask that question. What does gambling mean to you? I think it's something you're not clear about, and if you're not clear about it, you'd better find out more before you even consider it. Basically, you won't be able to survive. There are a few people who can make a living from it, and from some specific types of gambling. From most types of gambling noone is able to profit long term. And the few that do profit they're not usually in survival mode. To do that, you need to have money to fall back on during bad streaks.

Gambling can be a means of survival if you depend on it but the question is, how will you depend on gambling when you know that you need money to gamble? Without a good source of income, you will not be able to sustain your gambling. Besides, gambling is not supposed to be a source of income unless you own a casino or you work as their agent in their physical outlets. This way you are then paid salary or commission for the work you do for them.

Don't depend on gambling for survival if you really want to live your desired life, because there's no way you can rely on it for a consistent income when you're gambling and all about this is taking risk, it's not like an investment that we can do and expect a return from it, even though gambling can render to us some certain levels of earnings at some point, but they are not consistent as we lose more oftentimes than we win while gambling, better for us to seek for other things while we take this for fun and enjoy playing our bets.

Depending on gambling for survival usually leads to more risk than reward. Luck can’t be a stable source of income, even with solid strategy, variance hits hard. It’s better treated as entertainment, with money you can afford to lose.

Do you think most players actually keep that boundary clear?

Trading and gambling are very different but they are very risky. In trading, you can reduce the risk and look for more ways to make money but which is not guaranteed in gambling. Although many traders are losing because they are trading like they are gambling.

Do not depend on gambling at all because the strategies in gambling can make gamblers lose more money, unlike how it is in trading. But many traders are losing also because they are using trading to gamble.

[Merit.s]

Both gambling and trading shouldn't be used as a means of survival because there's no guarantee that you will be profitable since you are predicting the future. Gambling is a game of luck and luck comes once in a while which makes it impossible for you to get a regular income from gambling. If you want a means of survival, you should go out there and get a job for yourself.

Gambling is for fun because you have to sacrifice the little money that you have in order to entertain yourself. A lot of people that felt they can survive with gambling in the past regretted it.

[Makus]

Gambling can't be a means of survival, depending on it would only lead to an addiction problem. Gambling should not be seen as a source of income. Even though you think that you have strategies that can be profitable you must always be prepared for the worst to happen and focus on other areas to get income from asides Gambling, this is something that should be done passively not actively. The more you start depending on it to get money constantly you would only get yourself addicted to it. This isn't a proper mindset to have about gambling and it should be corrected

It's very rare to see a person who just relies on his living expenses in trading. What more in gambling? I believe it's a very risky habit, and it's not that easy to make money regularly out of it.
I do know there are successful traders out there, but that's because they do hard work to read the movement of the market. It's not like that in gambling, not even in sports betting. It's actually difficult to predict the results of the game even if you do all your homework.
It's better if we still have a stable job and just use these industries as a side job.

[julerz12]

Heck no. Gambling, by definition, is taking a boatload of risks for ultra-high rewards; that's not something you depend on for your survival.
You cannot leave your survivability on pure luck, 'cause that's what gambling is. Sure, you may win at BlackJack if you're good at counting cards, but then again, if the house sees you winning too much, you'll be kicked out. 
Maybe this might work on movies, but in reality, every casino is tailored to drain you up to your very last penny.

It's not advisable for anyone to depend on gambling. Because it is not something that brings money all the time. If some people win once a day, it will take some months before they can win again, and you're expecting this person to survive depending on the gambling, which is a big dirty game, but some will never know until after they live without having any money in their hand, later realizing their mistake in gambling.

We all know that so many people depend on the trading, but even then they only risk their living in trading. because the risks that are in trading are more than the ones in gambling, and that is why I can describe trading and gambling the same way; it is not a good idea to depend on them, as they both involve big risks.

Gambling is not predicted,  and nothing can guarantee winning in gambling,  this is something you dont need to rely on. Gambling is a game that is based on luck which you cant tell when it will occur. In gambling your skill and predictions is not a guarantee a game must end as a win.

Gambling and trading are not the same. In trading despite you cant predict the market but you can rely on your trading skill and the knowledge you have in trading.

If you play games that can be considered skill games, then it's possible to make a living from gambling. However, you have to be in the top x percentile, which is quite competitive and cannot be attained by average Joes. Hence, the probability of gamblers successfully earning sustainably from gambling is minuscule. In short, you'd be better off doing something else, and the probability of getting rich from other jobs would likely be far higher than from gambling.

[Berry2d]

Yes gambling can be a means of survival if properly managed. In gambling it is conspicuously stated we should gamble responsibly and with what we can loss but due to reasons best known to some people, they believe some games are sure which makes them to gamble without leaving little room to fall back to if the worst happens. To make gambling a source of income, one must esterblish Some gambling principle that will govern his gambling activities to enable one outsmart addiction in it

[Alphakilo]

If you think you can beat the bookies always or more of the times than losses, and you can make predictions with a certain accuracy due to much experience and focus, then it is quite possible to survive on just gambling activities, but you got to be single, living in a cheap environment and with very affordable housing, have little commitments and not be a very social person for this to work out right, else, you might end up going crazy from betting results that are not in your favour for a while and am sure you know the emotional turmoil that comes with that.

It is way better instead to see gambling activities as an occasional indulgence rather than as a career or source of income, both for posterity sake and for future reasons like to prevent addiction.

[fredericktaylor]

Life cannot be managed by relying on gambling, because gambling can never be the main source of consistent income. If a person wants to gamble regularly, he must have a discretionary income, otherwise it will not be possible for anyone to gamble regularly. We need a reliable income to live a normal life, but winning through gambling is uncertain, so one cannot live a normal life depending on uncertain means. To win through gambling, one has to depend on luck, but to live a good life, one has to work and invest with specific thoughts, success cannot be achieved or life can be managed by relying solely on luck.

Although I understand that this is just a question being asked by the OP but why will anyone even think to this end, as we know gambling is not a job or an employment, how will anybody think that it can be a dependable source or means for survival, i think that will amount to self deceit or people endangering themselves by trying to escalate somethings that are not suppose to be part of the game, as we gamble, we don't know if we will win or not but if we get lucky then we smile but if we don't we accept our fate no big deal, so how will such activity be seen as a means of survival when nothing is assured, it is better we see gambling as a means of getting entertained so that it will do us good.
