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

[Bluedrem]

Gambling can never be a sustainable way of earning. Gambling is nothing but madness. Some people gamble to get rich and some people gamble for fun. But if you observe gamblers, you will see more first-stage gamblers, that is, they gamble to get rich. But at the end of the day, the result is the opposite. They lose in gambling and become poorer. Again, there are some gamblers who gamble for fun but in the end they also get addicted to gambling and get involved in gambling.

I've tried it, hoping to make money from gambling, but the actual loss percentage is higher than the win percentage. And when luck is on your side, you think it can provide a source of income to meet your needs. But you'll continue gambling in the hope of winning again, but in reality, luck isn't on your side, and previous winnings can potentially be used to keep gambling until they're gone, trying to find more so you can keep gambling in the hope of making money, when in reality, it will only result in you continuing to lose money and even causing you pain.
Limiting your gambling activity and gambling only for fun is a wise attitude, because you know your goal is simply to have fun. This will limit your capital and playing time, allowing you to stop when you're winning and return at the right time.

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.

First of all, gambling is a game of luck and as such anyone who is depending on it to do all these things you said to me it's obvious the person is not a responsible person that is if the person has not win and build something with it may be for reference purpose or something. How will someone who is normal think of using gambling to feed family, survive, pay bills etc on something that is not guarantee and honestly speaking there are some people that need mental treatment, as a matter of fact this mindset... can kill someone so easily if at the long run it's not working for them.

Not making gambling a source of income is a wise choice. And indeed, all gamblers should be like that. If there are people who do not work and only rely on luck from gambling, all the capital they have will surely continue to decrease. If there are still gamblers like that, of course it causes confusion for us. How can gamblers do that? Even those who are addicted still need a source of funds to finance their gambling.

I agree, I'm also convinced that gambling wouldn't be enough to pay all my bills. It's a hobby with minimal budgets for games that don't really have any impact at the moment. I'm also sure that if I tried to make it a permanent source of income, I would end up with a negative bank account and no savings.

Yes. Truth be told, gambling was not created to become a sustainable source of income but was rather made to become a source of entertainment and fun, alongside if you are able to make your money from it, let that become like an added advantage to you and not a source of survival or a source to become rich. Some of us hear about the story of those who were able to hit jackpot during their career gambling and we suddenly think we can also make the same story forgetting that even those people who got those opportunities never expected it coming and even when they do, it is usually a rare opportunity for them.

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

No, I have many friends, 70% of my friends understand gambling and they are directly involved, but for now and at this moment I have never seen from my friends that gambling can be a source of sustainable income. on the contrary, more of their money is spent on gambling.

For me, gambling is a game, not a sustainable source of income, where I play there are wins and losses, wherever we go, situations like that still happen even if we gamble on the European continent, America or on another planet.

But it would be different if someone who is too addicted to gambling, they say gambling will be their source of big income in the hope of getting a big jackpot,
but in fact more money is spent just chasing the jackpot with no definite return and they keep doing it until everything is gone.

Who initially just wants to get a little profit, but gets stuck with his obsession to win big.
Wins and losses will definitely happen, but the percentage of losses will probably happen more often, because casinos also have special algorithms to make the casino more profitable
and some winnings are just a booster to make the addict happy, even though it all depends on luck.

[Ronsbit]

In gambling bettors losses often than winning so it's crazy to see gambling as a source of income or a means to make a living.
Those who see gambling as their source of income easily get addicted in gambling because they have set all their mind and thinking In gambling, there is this my friend who think he can get rich by gambling because he heard that people wins millions gambling and now he has lost everything and he never got rich through gambling. Gambling is for those who already have what gives them income and since their is no guarantee that we will win if we gamble we should gamble responsibly and always try as possible to gamble with the money we can afford to loss and also have our boundaries and limit when gambling.

Gambling is for everyone, both rich and poor, as long as you are above the legal age of engaging in such exercise and activities by law. What I can say here is that the approach towards gambling should not be focused or centered on profit-making or as a source of income, but rather a game or a thing of fun, because that is the real purpose for which it was created. But the reverse is the case these days, that players tend to see it the opposite way, and this has led to so many cases of addiction in the gambling industry, just because of indiscipline and recklessness on the part of players.

Yes, as long you are that on the legal age then anyoen could gamble and there's no wrong with that but whats wrong is on the moment that you would be spending up too much money with gambling then this is where issues would be starting to come up and thats why its important that you should be wary about into your actions. Never ever make yourself that making gambling as your source of income because gamblers do end up lossers in the end and this is something that you should be putting up into your mind and never trying out to chase that kind of dream and hopes that you can become profitable with gambling. This is just thatfor the sake of fun and entertainment nothing less but on the moment that you do become that going excessive then this is where issues would be starting to show up. You would be ending up on having some regret at the end when you are trying out to go on what on what you do have in mind.

I always advise players this, if you gamble, do it with a sense of responsibility, because that would help guide you during game time, and you would not have any issues with your gambling life. As a gambler, knowing the basic gambling laws and principles could help a lot because that would serve as an orientation for you to learn from as players. Another thing is being time-conscious at any function as it relates to the casino, because when it starts, it would be tempting that you would leave to follow rules and get into trouble.

I'm just coming back from a thread where may people made mkmey from yesterday games and I missed because I wasn't chance to bet some of those games. People made huge money from those bet and some people made money that will forever change their life as they risk high. Seeing this and this thread, I can say that there are people that are meant for gambling because they makes the money whether there is entertainment or there is none.

If gambling works for you as entertainment, that's good but I will refused to believe that money can't be made from gambling and not depending on it. The only bad side people see is that they want to make money from gambling immediately. Why not start gradually and be risking small small from it until you make it bigger, the people that are making figures in gambling didn't start there risk with the amount they are doing today, they started from some where.

[Yeesha]

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 don't think that there is anything like professional in gambling. Being a gambler even for several years still doesn't make you a professional gamblers, because it does require any strategy in order to make you win, neither does it require any further information like acquiring knowledge or applying any skills.

But I accept the fact where you said gambling is not a job, because that's nothing but the actual truth. Gambling is just for fun and entertainment and that is being justified, except for those who doesn't want to accept the reality and find something tangible to do, and make it there source of income. There are a lot of ways to make money and stabilise your life with depending sorely on gambling. What can be classified as a source of income is where you earn money genuinely without any doubt, not something that puts your money at risk and you might lose it if care is not taken.

Everyone gambles to make money from winnings. We don't need to cover it up with the habit of having fun. But how many gamblers can make money by taking bigger risks? Gambling is uncertain; the more we believe we will win, sometimes the more we regret. Losing and winning in gambling is normal, so just bet reasonably. What you have already calculated and can afford to bear.

Gambling could literally be a source of income for some gamblers but the guarantee that they will always be winning to survive is not sure, the chances of winning is very slim and unpredictable one minute you can be winning and the next minute you lose you never can tell the outcome of games, the risk involved in gambling is extremely high and gamblers loose money on daily basis, it only takes luck to win games.

If anyone depends on gambling to feed their family I'm sorry to say that you will be disappointed imagine staking a game and hoping to win and you don't have any money in the house for that moment your family will go hungry for that night  so I will advise that gambling shouldn't be taken as a source of income, it should be seen and taken as entertainment, the more you chase looses the more you loose and once you decide to chase profit you are still open to loses because you will still need funds to sponsor your bets, nevertheless we shouldn't depend on gambling to survive because it will disappoint us.

What you can afford to let go, as if you force yourself trying to recover it may ends up losing more, though there are different opinions and different perspectives within each gamblers who taking thier time and their money in this industry, but even those who are saying that it's just to have some fun or to add some fun also aimed to win, that's how it's going to add fun when you experienced to win.

Gambling is one all over the world buddy, especially when it comes to online gambling which we all know that online casinos work with the same algorithm settings which if even tweaked, would be for the casino to try to achieve some minor uniqueness and to appear totally different.

There is no country in the world where we can travel to and be rest assured that winning in gambling in that country would be easier, and as such, it will be possible to treat gambling over there as a sustainable source of income.
In cities popular known all over the world to be gambling cities still has not made gambling a sustainable source of income, a good example is Las Vegas, this is one city in the world I've promised myself I must visit when I finally make money and start traveling the world, not for any thing but just out of curiosity sake, I want to really see how this city looks like, whether it's exactly the same as it appears on pictures.. 😁

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.

Gambling seriously for financial gain is a terrible way to fail, you are right that when someone starts seeing gambling as a way to pay bills & feed their family, they will end up tragically. Our country is experiencing serious problem regarding gambling, many cases of suicide due to gambling. All those cases are because they consider gambling as the main source of earning money, when it doesn't go smoothly, they will be completely destroyed.

[FirmWars]

Gambling can never be a sustainable income source, people that believes it can be are delusional and it's only a matter of time before they can realize it, gambling is good for entertainment, having fun and passing time, the only sustainable income in gambling is when you are working for the casino, for example, you can work in their affiliate programs and get paid according to the contract of the job, you could also work in physical casino, that can be sustainable but not being a gambler yourself.

One can even work as their customer care personnel and get paid, or as their ad campaign manager and social platforms and forum like this one and get paid as well, but for the ad campaign manager job to be considered as a sustainable income source, the casino have to be a serious one and the type that will run a very long term ad campaign, not like some of the casinos we see on the forum here that launches, then run an ad campaign for one to four weeks and then close/end it.

And again and on other  hand, apart from  working for or with the casino for a salary that can be sustained and earned for a long time, another sustainable income source in the world of gambling is owning and managing a successful either online or offline gambling casino also, this (like I believe I've previously said in one of my comments (can't remember where)) is a very lucrative business from what I believe a lot of us have seen so far, though it's not an easy task managing a casino but it's always worth far more than the stress.

This is what meant when I said that the only way gambling can be a sustainable income for someone is if the person is working for the casino and not when the person is a gambler by himself. The other job of being a ad campaign manager can sometimes not be sustainable, you already know why, that's why you said before it can be considered sustainable, the casino have to be a serious one that wants the ad campaign to last for a long term, if it's just a hit and run casino ad campaign, it definitely won't last and not worthy to be considered sustainable income. For it to be considered sustainable, the person must have a long contract with a fixed amount to be paid.

Doing the affiliate program is sustainable, most people do it here in my country and they call it "agent shop" The casino or bookie pays an individual that opens a physical shop for that casino, the shop allows customers to come and play their favorite games all day, while the casino is paying the person running the shop a huge amount every week. That is one of the sustainable type of income that gambling can give a person.

Must be possible only when more people are gamblers there and willing to sponds money regularly on gambling because I never considered affiliate marketing as a sustainable source of income either, it can be a good side hustle for someone who got influence over the people but it will be good in the short run only.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Gambling isn't designed to be a sustainable source of income.
Casino games lack rational strategies, while sports betting seems to have them, but the element of chance is so great that it often ruins our attempts to win. The rare, long-term successful players consistently invent something new (innovative), allowing them to earn a steady income. However, it's also possible that this is simply a stroke of luck.

[asriloni]

The idea to fully relying upon gambling is just so dumb. It's just adding the burden to the himself as his day will be always about the randomized. Let's say when someone is relying to gambling to fulfill his needs. It means he's dealing with randomization to fulfill his needs. In the result he will able to fulfill his needs or not.

When he's able to fulfill all he needs, that's good. However, it's gonna be a worse situation when he has no money left to keep up his life. Then he blamed himself for not being able to deliver what he needs caused by he's very busy in solving the problem created by others aka the casino.

This is why i think using gambling as sustainable income is almost impossible thing caused by you always need a backup when you down so hard. Who is gonna support you when you lose in gambling while you have no job to give you income?

In this economy, you truly needs a backup to yourself, and it's your job. Having a job while you're gambling gave less burden to yourself. So you can enjoy your gambling better.
