Can gambling Ever Be a sustainable income source or just Entertainment.

[Queen uloma]

Many people believe that they can survive through gambling and make it their source main source of income, the truth is that gambling doesn't guarantee steady income because the outcome most times depend on luck and probability, casinos and betting platform design the games in way that it will favour the house in the long run, this shows that even if gamblers win today, they still have high chances of losing later, because of this, many people see gambling as entertainment, something that one can do for fun with the money  one can afford to loss, and when one begin to depend on gambling to pay bills, feed family, or to survive, the pressure can make the person take more dangerous risks, chase losses, and end up losing more money.

NOTE: anyone that depend on gambling as their main source of income will face risk, depression, frustration and financial losses, there's no professional gamblers, just have deep knowledge and accept that losses are going to happen sometimes.

If you can see the growing population of gambling addicts, you will understand why gambling should remain as a source of entertainment.

Because once you go beyond that and start seeing it as a replacement of your job, as something that can put food on the table, can pay your bills and can educate your children, then you are accepting the challenge that sooner or later your life will never be this peaceful and calm, healthy and productive.

Gambling will never provide us a sustainable income, but it can quickly sweep away all our savings and lose them all because of gambling addiction.

[Hypnosis00]

Even professional gamblers are still at risk of losing their bets, so how much more for beginners in gambling. This proves that gambling can never be a sustainable source of income, but it can be a good source of entertainment as long as you never end up counting your losses.

Let's face the fact that gambling is not a job, it cannot give us regular and fixed income just like any job, and relying on it solely will only leave our stomachs hungry and our pockets empty. Let's gamble for the sake of entertainment, not to make a living.

I have seen many discussions about these issues before. Gambling is a risky place and gradually you are bound to get addicted if you use it seriously and use it as a source of income. And if you are addicted to gambling, you will never be able to come back from here satisfied. The more you win, the more your greed will increase, so no winning can make you happy. And later you will lose all your winnings again and this way your daily gambling will remain active. So I never consider gambling as a good place, it should only be as entertainment.

The very first step to losing a lot and simultaneously becoming a gambling addict is to see gambling as a source of income basically something that's gonna up your financial status. The rich statistically win more when it comes to gambling because most of them play for the fun of it.

Logically you are not expected to gamble with plans in place already for money you haven't even acquired yet.

[alani123]

The more you gamble the higher the chance to reach ruin. It's even having a term called risk of ruin.
Don't overestimate your odds. The only way to earn from gambling is if you're the casino.

The form of gambling that can also lay reliably is poker if you have sponsors. Otherwise without sponsors there would never be so called professional gamblers.

Gambling is not supposed to be treated as a source of income because you need money to gamble so there should be a source of income that should provide the money needed for the gambling. If gambling is treated as a source of income, there will be no room for losses which is integral part of gambling. No matter how experienced a player is, losses will always come so gambling should be able to make room for these losses which is why it should not be the source of income.

[swogerino]

Gambling is not created to make people rich but in fact has been created to make the owners of gambling platforms rich. The house edge is an invention to make sure that over the long run the house will stay in profit, in fact I saw a job ad for a remote worker named "Math jedy" meaning to be a math and probability expert, you had to write algorithms to distribute RTP fairly to players and the casino which is something totally impossible in my thinking and that is why I am bringing it up here, how come a programmer can be so good to distribute even probabilities for both the player and house, simply does not make sense. That is why no gambling can never be a sustainable source of income and people will only get bad outcomes during the long run.

[Nwada001]

The chances of losing are far greater than the chances of winning in gambling, and anything that falls under such should not be considered as something from which one can make a living unless the person is just too lazy and doesn't really know what they want. One can gamble and hope to win, but your life bills depending on gambling alone is not supposed to be an option because you will fail before even starting.

[Eternad]

Gambling in general can be a source of income if you work for that industry but as a player we all knew that this industry is a business which means they generate profit through gamblers money through games with house advantage.

Some gamblers might be profitable especially on pokey but I doubt the majority cam do that or else casino industry will be not profitable at all to continue the operation.

So no is the answer if it’s a source of income as a player.

[HelliumZ]

If gambling had a regular profit, many people would have considered it a permanent source of income.
But it has been seen that gambling causes more losses than profits. For these reasons, it is not possible to consider gambling as a source of income.
Again, even if you take it as entertainment, there are many problems because if someone takes it as entertainment without controlling themselves, it will gradually take the form of an addiction in them, resulting in further disaster for them.

You can have a sustainable income from gamblers if you own a casino or a betting platform. The house edge is always higher, so it could become a good income source if many gamblers find your platform and the services you offer to be satisfactory.

If you intend to just earn steadily from gambling by gambling, you will be disappointed more times than you will be happy.

[Kelvinid]

We won't be seeing a high competition in the gambling market these days if these casinos are losing because we are constantly winning and making sustainable profits. The edge should always be in the house, that's why the house should always win, thus leaving us in losses.

There are those who get lucky with gambling and claimed that they are making huge profits from gambling, but we don't know behind those massive wins are consistent losses in the beginning. So we can't conclude that gambling will offer a sustainable income for players, what is sustainable is the house profits, while leaving us majority at loss.

[rachael9385]

You said it all, trying to make gambling a source of income has too many downsides because that's not even what it was designed for. Making profit in gambling cannot happen consistently whether it is based on luck or skills, relying too much on it and pushing yourself hard to win is going to result to gambling addiction.

[Hispo]

At this point, I think the only way to get a guaranteed income from gambling is by having a job at some casino or bookie, to be honest.
I have lost money to casino games, ans if there is something I have learnt is how unpredictable those games are and how stupid people are when they believe they can turn the house edge in their favor.

Instead of having as many people hoping to get rich quick, it would be better to have more hard working people in our respective countries.

[Btcdeybodi]

A game of chance, luck and probability can never be regarded as a source of income talk more of sustainable source. Play for the entertainment so that you don't find yourself in bad situations that you will live to regret. I don't even know what gives some gamblers the mind that they can make gambling a source of income. Even if you are winning consecutively, it doesn't mean it will continue like that in the long term.

[Fiasem20]

I keep asking people that are taking gambling as a source of income,how are they’re coping so far with a game that wins depends on chance and luck?I guess financial and mental wise they’re wounded deeply,most times they transfer their aggression on their children when their expectations weren’t met.Gambling can never only be for fun and entertainment because everyone has their different reasons for gambling,it may be fun to you but to others that are looking towards it as an alternative to escape poverty it isn’t fun or entertainment to them.

[Onyeeze]

Many people believe that they can survive through gambling and make it their source main source of income, the truth is that gambling doesn't guarantee steady income because the outcome most times depend on luck and probability,

It's only someone who lack the understanding of risks that involve in gambling, that will depend on gambling as a source of income, gambling can not sustain you, because it's a game of luck, and it's not everytime a gambler will be privilege to win for gambling

casinos and betting platform design the games in way that it will favour the house in the long run,

casino is a business and the owners doesn't want you as gambler to be winning more often, so I believe that the more you win the more casino lose and the reason why they opened their business is to make profit

this shows that even if gamblers win today, they still have high chances of losing later, because of this, many people see gambling as entertainment, something that one can do for fun with the money  one can afford to loss, and when one begin to depend on gambling to pay bills, feed family, or to survive, the pressure can make the person take more dangerous risks, chase losses, and end up losing more money.

NOTE: anyone that depend on gambling as their main source of income will face risk, depression, frustration and financial losses, there's no professional gamblers, just have deep knowledge and accept that losses are going to happen sometimes.

When you gamble and win today for gambling, that does not mean that you will win tomorrow, sometimes some people does not win for two months or three months time, so theirs no way you can depends on gambling to survive

[salad daging]

Who still believes that gambling can have a steady income? Even if there is a gambling game by playing a strategy, there is still no guarantee that you will always win, there are times when you lose, especially against the bookie, you will not be given the opportunity to win forever.

I'm very sure other people will say gambling is just for entertainment, not to find income to support the family, because no one will be able to do it. Even the heavy gambler Drake does not rely on gambling but he is only an ambassador who of course still receives money from the casino.

[freedomgo]

It works this way, gambling is a sustainable business for the operators, while for most players it’s mainly a source of entertainment. If we understand it like that, we’ll probably be safer with how we approach gambling. The reality is that most players lose in the long run. It’s a common phrase but there’s truth behind it.

You don’t even need to experience it the hard way to understand. Just accept that the math isn’t really in the player’s favor, and once you see it that way it becomes easier to keep your expectations realistic.
