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

The final decision is left for the gambler to make, anybody that goes bankrupt becoming of gambling chooses their faith, while they are gambling and losing their money consistently, they should have realised it to know that their money is going down and not increasing meaning that their efforts to make gambling become a sustainable source of income is not working and they should advise themselves to quit at that moment but instead they will continue gambling until all money is lost.

If someone personally makes a choice that they want to gamble, and do that for a living and then ends up losing all their money, that was their own choice and I think it's quite understandable as well. I get that it is not the best situation to be in, losing all your money AND your income, but someone who made the choice of doing this professionally has made that choice and we can't just change that. I get that it is not going to be easy at all to make it, but they are the ones who choose this life.

If you want to be a professional gambler then you will have to face the fact that you are going to lose a lot of money at times, and if you are lucky then maybe you would have some lucky moments and end up winning as well.

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.

Gambling is not madness. I will not agree with that, people can be gambling making some bad decisions and losing their self that's up to them to blame, and the reckless decision they make they should be accountable for it, we still have those who gamble responsibly and they will never consider gambling to be a sustainable means of generating wealth, seeing gambling as means to make wealth might only be a thought I can consider as madness and it gambling in general.

Men, it's really crazy the way some dudes go about their gambling activities because it makes me start wondering how bad they have spoiled gamble and has given negative narrative about gamble to the society whereas they caused it all.

Their was no time gamble was surpose to be a sustainable source of income in the best of my knowledge but people are now turning the whole narrative out of their own greed and over expectations about it,  and until we get ourselves busy with job that's sustainable and leave gamble aside from our real life challenges things will still be going wrongly because we have completely lost our sense of reasoning.

Yes, it's a personal choice, and I'm sure people who choose gambling as a source of income are aware of the risks, but they choose to do it anyway. Is it reasonable to say that such people can't think clearly? Because, in my opinion, it's the wrong choice.

Since gambling can never truly be a source of income, it sounds even more crazy when someone considers gambling as their source of income. Honestly, if I had no discretionary income, I would never gamble. I would not have the mentality to put my family at risk by gambling using the funds that I allocate to meet my family's basic needs. And those who take such risks can never be called sane people.

I think the same. The only ones who can be said to make money from betting are the people who manage the casino, the jockeys at the horse races, or those who provide information through subscriptions. In short, those who benefit from betting without actually placing a bet. So yes, no gambler in their right mind would see betting as a means of constant income, unless you're a poker pro, earning money through sponsorships, and things like that.

If you start to think of gambling as a way of making an income, a sustainable one at that, all you will get in return would be losses and you are not going to end up with anything good at all.

I understand it may not be ideal and it will end up with a lot of losses for you, but the reality is that if we just try to make it our entire income, that's going to result with bad returns without a doubt. I believe the best we can do in this case is to make sure we see this as something that is only for fun.

Gambling is neither a sustainable source of income nor a source of entertainment. If it is to be a source of income, then of course there must be a constant profit from it, there will be no loss here. But in the case of gambling, nothing like that happens, rather in the case of gambling, there is a constant possibility of loss.
Again, if it is for entertainment, of course, they will always come for entertainment, but when there is loss, it has been seen that instead of entertainment, it becomes a cause of mental unrest. I never see anything like entertainment coming from gambling.

Gambling is not a source of income, we shouldn't take this as our personal investment or income source, anyone interested in having a sustainable source should invest and do something doing, this is why many fail because they don't have the right priority over how they should gamble, be informed that gambling is for entertainment and not a source of income.

This could depends, if you are a type of gambler that has a capital and you know to yourself that you have a good skills and knowledge on the game there is a potential that you might win most of your games, again most of your games but still there is a risk to losen the game depends what you are playing with of course, but most likely its about strategic and skill base games than the slot game which is pure luck base games. Now if you are a typical gambler you know to yourself that you are just rely on the bare minimum knowledge i guess there is a low chance you will succeed here in playing gambling as a source of income. Not to discriminate but of course its your life its your choice but most of the thing ive observe with the same mindset ended up lossing their money for nothing.

Gambling is a mode of making money for the casinos and not the gamblers. Hence it can be a sustainable source of income for the casino, its employees and its investors. Hence if you want to make money, join them and make money. You could also just become a passive investor and dont gamble on the site in order to be able to make a gradual ROI. Bankroll investments are good for long term, in short term sudden losses might come in but they even out in the long term.

So it can be a mode of income if done right unless if you join the bandwagon to gamble you will end up like any other gambler.

Agree if you play gambling the right way it will eventually be a source of income, just don't get to attach with it, always have risk management, some people support their living through gambling, but its not always a win often, controlling emotion and proper strategy is needed, breaking those things will end up very badly.
I know someone who does gambling for a living and know when to stop, it should also be the practice of others if you want to be in gambling for a long term, as a source of income.

The categories of people you mentioned are the only ones who can profit from gambling industry on long run. Those who are by the side of of the house profit, while those who play against the casino lose. When a source of income is the goal, it's a must to invest in gambling business through bankroll investment, to launch a self-owned casino, to work as an employee for the casino or to simply work as a third party casino promoter.

There is a lot of potential in gambling industry to profit from, you just have to know your place inside it. For physical casinos there is also the plus of developing a touristic region or city, for an example, so every kinds of businesses around get benefited somehow.

In fact there are some people who are making a living from gambling especially those who are pro poker players and pro sports bettors.
Is it wrong? of course it depends on how they deal with it, if they can manage their gambling properly by maximizing their skills and knowledge, gambling can be source of income.
Of course although they take gambling as source of income, I also believe that they are aware about the risk since even if they have great skills, the risk of losing money is still there.
However, if we are referring to casino games such as dice, slots, etc, no one should play casino games as source of income because it is pure luck based game.
