I doubt gambling can be a stable source of income at all. In any case, 99% of gamblers won't be able to earn enough money to live comfortably on sports betting or prediction platforms. Whatever we say, the easiest way to make money is to simply work for someone else. Even a gambling business is quite risky. It's easier to make money through trading and investing than through gambling. Unfortunately, that's true.

If I don't have another choice, I would consider gambling as my main income. If gambling is the only way to earn money as their income, I'm pretty sure gambling platforms will offer additional benefits to make users feel more comfortable on their site. Imagine spending years on a gambling platform and being able to earn through other features, like dividends. This could increase the reasons why people would consider gambling as their main source of income. While gambling itself may not be a stable income, if gambling platforms provided a way to earn a stable income, people wouldn't think twice.
Gambling as I see it today offers a wealth of options, allowing you to find something suitable and try to make money. Of course, making money in gambling is extremely difficult and only accessible to professionals, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, just be careful. Casinos are always coming up with various ways to attract players, even using cryptocurrency and other things, as well as issuing their own tokens that can be more profitable or offer other benefits. Overall, I'd certainly give it a try even if there were absolutely no other way to make money, but I'd do everything carefully and only with due regard for risk. This is very important.

I agree with you. Thinking of earning money through gambling to meet your daily expenses means taking your financial situation to a greater extent in the future. I can't find people who run their families by gambling. Because it is not possible in any way. And in most cases, the casino system is designed in such a way that you will always be in loss at the end. Sometimes you will feel good about getting a big win, but if you calculate it over all, you will see that you are losing. That is why using gambling as income will never bring anything good.

The reason most people end up getting addicted to gambling isn’t because they didn’t do their due diligence or they were unaware of the dangers of gambling addiction, but simply because they gambled with the sole purpose of making profit. This alone is is enough to put any gambler’s emotions on the line as it’ll become harder to control your urge to keep gambling, especially when you get those adrenaline spikes, it’s as if your rational thinking is turned off and all the research you did suddenly disappears.

You forgot to talk about greed as the major reasons why people get addicted after doing all sort of findings before going into gambling, some people after making budgets and all kinds of promises as well as determinations they still end up being addicted they do this immediately they see others winning in gambling they just want to keep gambling because they have high hope of winning so big but they do not consider the negative outcomes that comes with gambling, the moment anyone sees gambling as a means of a life changing opportunity it's going to be difficult to see them not becoming addicted.

That’s very correct. Seeing others win, especially when it’s someone that’s very close to us has its own way of motivating us in some kind of way, and most of the times if this motivation isn’t controlled or moderated, it can potentially lead to impulsive decision making on a quest to also share in the next person’s fate. And just as you’ve rightly said, this can easily make people become greedy and even increasing their bet size and even attempt copying that person’s technique without realizing that every win is usually as a result of how lucky that person is and never about his strategy or his approach.

I want to know if there are no other sources of livelihood and we have gambling as the only means of income and people are already getting used to it, and you are not a gambler would gamble instead?
Well, in reality, gambling is not a source of livelihood and there's no way other means of getting funds will just suddenly cease to exist only because of gambling. A better way of putting the question could rather be that, what if there are no other way of catching fun and gambling is the only available way? The question can then be, will you still gamble if those that are already into it are getting addicted by the day? The response is simple. We all have our choices to make and for any choices we make, we have to stay on it and be ready to face the consequences that comes with it.

If you choose gambling as your only way of fun, you have to still factor in the danger that's associated with it and ensure that you have a strategy on ground as to how you plan dealing with it. If there's no strategy on ground and you just go right into it just because of the fun that's associated with it, you risk suffering much from it.

I still think that people who can’t stop in gambling are driven not so much by greed as by an excessively inflated ego. They can’t accept the fact that they lost in that situation or admit defeat. So, trying to prove something,first of all to themselves, they start chasing their losses. But in a state of panic, critical thinking becomes completely impaired. And if, on top of that, there are substances involved that alter perception, such a combination can create a lot of trouble.

While this could be true to an extent, it doesn’t apply to everyone, the set of gamblers that this mostly applies to are those who trusts and depends more on their skills than they do on luck, these type of gamblers have developed some a very high level of overconfidence in their skills or technique which is why they’re unable to accept defeat even when they’ve clearly lost. But one thing is certain those who have this kind of mindset and approach usually end up losing more because most of the times during loss chasing, instead of actually recovering their losses, they end up losing more and more.

I don't know how it is possible to have no other source of income besides relying on gambling. As far as I know, a livelihood can be obtained from any job, and many people have a variety of professions thanks to the internet today, from streaming media to crypto. So, I don't think there is any circumstance that would make someone rely solely on gambling for income. Moreover, I don't think it is wise to make gambling their sole source of income, as gambling carries significant risks, if used as a source of income. Well, I am not judging people who rely on gambling for income, but I think they need to be aware of the risks and consequences, or to serve as a reminder.

Whatever we do in gamble, whether for profit, a livelihood, or entertainment, we need to be aware of what we are doing, so we can be wise in our decisions, especially when it comes to gambling. There is a good saying I once heard: "Smart people learn from their mistakes, and wise people learn from the mistakes of others."

I thought am the only one relying on gambling for survival now that the economy is very difficult to control due to different reasons and finding solutions to those economic challenges becomes very difficult.  In this current economy,  finding a good paying job is very difficult and even if there is, the stress involved is 10 times bigger than what we stand to gain at last. But with the present of gambling everything became easy including meeting end needs, not that my gambling always turns hundred percent accurate at all times but my winning is enough to provide and fix all my needs including that of my children. So I see no job better than gambling for now except there will be later

I want to know if there are no other sources of livelihood and we have gambling as the only means of income and people are already getting used to it, and you are not a gambler would gamble instead?

If gambling was the only way to make a living I would not tell anyone to jump into gambling. I always say that relying on gambling to lead a family is extremely dangerous for most people. It can be seen that the financial and social condition of those who bet are worse than before due to income. Most of the time people who made a source of income from gambling gradually began to take more insane risk. There is a stark difference between playing for fun and playing for pocket money

Also gambling can never be a pillar of a healthy economy. When people rely on gambling to save live it does more harm than good. And excessive gambling is linked to loss of money, mental disturbance and even premature death

Honestly, everyone needs to understand that entertainment, investment, employment, and business are very different things, and gambling falls into the entertainment category. People can't change that and classify gambling as an investment or a business. Only the owner of the gambling website can classify gambling as a business; they aren't gambling themselves, but rather providing the means for others to gamble. In that case, it's a business that can generate profit or loss. But the player should only view it as entertainment.

You said, peradventure gambling was the only option as a source of livelihood, right? Don't forget that gambling requires funds, meanwhile that you must have another means of earning first before you spend the money on gambling. If I already have a means of earning, what's the need to gamble again as a source of income? I won't chose such option mate because I already chosed it before and it didn't favour me. Gambling is for fun, winning is by luck, that's why it's not suitable of being an alternative option.

In the context of gambling, it's the only way to make money. This means there are no other jobs besides gambling. It also means the government won't prohibit its citizens from gambling, as everyone, even the government itself, is a gambler.
Time goes by, and hunger inevitably haunts, meaning everyone will be involved in gambling. If gambling is the only way to make money, gambling will be normalized.

Yes, you are right, "If gambling was the only way to make money, then gambling would become normal." But it is not as simple as it seems.

Gambling is easy but winning is not. Gambling games are arranged in different algorithms. As a result, winning is a bit difficult. Gambling can make money, but the number of winnings is so small that it seems impossible at times. But, if it is the only option, then I will try my luck at it.

There is no way gambling can become the only way to make money when people are going to school, getting a good education to come out to become who they planned to be in the society. Not everybody likes gambling and many especially some religions are seeing it as a an activity that takes over the mind misleading people from focusing on themselves which could encompasses family, job, business and personal wellbeing.

It's very likely that there are gamblers that continue to do it even if their country has banned it. And if there is no other option to do it, I'll probably do some marketing for the casinos and try to work for them like in affiliates or maybe being a support or any position. With that, I'm still part of the gambling community but the difference is I make sure that I am securing what I earn and I don't gamble it all away. That's a hard situation when you have no other choice but to gamble as your source of living, you're likely to get more bad days than the good ones.

If gambling was the only means of surviving,I will rather go for more knowledge like going to the site make sure I study how it works very well because,is not easy to win in gambling, only take a serious and real gamblers to used his or her time for gambling and if you don't understand the strategy of gambling,and to also know when winning supposed to come, meaning I will be losing always, and only gurus will be surviving,then I will do more research to enable me make wins.

Hello fellas!
Just a little bit bored at night..
I want to know if there are no other sources of livelihood and we have gambling as the only means of income and people are already getting used to it, and you are not a gambler would gamble instead?
Now, this would definitely revealed those who are truly a gambler or those who just had passion for gambling and even as it turns to only means of income you wouldn't be that feeling bad because already you are well customed to it.
Of course there are some countries that bans gambling but yet there are some citizens who are still gambling either by using a vpn or Tor to access the gambling site.
Stop imagining vain and impossible things bud 😂, there is never a way gambling was or is going to be the only means of income in this encounter world, and even it is or was, it's not a way at all to know who's passionate about gambling and who is not, and the reason is because we all as humans would have been gambling right from when we are tender and would easily get used to it..
You know how you don't teach a child to drink water, you don't teach a child to suck, you don't teach a child to open his or her mouth when wanting to eat, that is how gambling would have been because we all must engage in it as there is no other alternative.

But again like I said before, stop imagining vain and impossible things, there is no way gambling would have been the only means through which people make money, e the world would have been a very crazy place to live in.

Doing more research will be your friend knowing how to gamble and improves your skills. Our habit will changes following the situation and use gambling as source of income. We will not stop learning because we know that is the only thing for us to make money although we still difficult to win. But we hope that will not becomes a reality because if that is really happens, many people will stuck in gambling and we will see many people becomes addicted to gambling. More people will lose their lives and suffers seeing one of their family members drag into gambling addiction.

But gambling can never be a source of income, the source of income will provide us with money where there will be no harmful possibility, but how much is this applicable to gambling? In gambling we will lose, face financial losses, here the matter depends on luck, so how can we accept it as a source of income? Gambling is not a sure way of earning money. Here the possibility of loss is high, so it will be limited to entertainment only, it cannot be more than that, it is not possible. And I do not think that in reality there will be any situation where gambling will be the only way for a person to earn a living or there is a possibility of such a thing.

I still think it's an impossible scenario that gambling becomes the only source of income. Even though, it's not a sure way to earn money. Gambling is the most dangerous way to make quick profit. Many gamblers migrates to trading to bet on the price. I think both are ways to make profit out of thin of air without any productive activity.
Given the uncertain nature of profits, it is clear that if gambling is the only alternative for a source of income then this will not help, sometimes we can win big even if we take risks and even then if luck is on our side, but looking at the reality it is impossible to make a profit by saying it is certain, and saying it as a way to make a profit quickly is true and makes sense too but before that we have to look at the disadvantages that come before the benefits so it is more a statement that it is faster to make us lose money and then quickly make a profit.
