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

[Youngrebel]

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.

I think this is a 2 way thing.  The ones who gamble and the ones who facilitate the gambling activities. For people who facilitate gambling like those in the gambling halls behind the counter, they stay there front morning till night ensuring they keep on their business and for people to get access to gambling activities.  For those set of people gambling is their source of income and livelihood.  They get paid therfore they are willing to give in their best to it happiness, dedication and consistency. But fore those who are the players, the real gamblers then taking gambling as a source of income would be a bit difficult to sustain themselves as a win might take like forever to come.

It is true, I hadn not thought of that, there are professional poker players who earn much more from sponsorship deals than from playing. But let is also consider those who don’t have sponsors; I don’t think these people will be able to make a living from game income, or they’re very lucky, but we know that luck doesn’t exist.

I could be wrong, but I just heard poker players do sponsorship deals. But if this is true, then they are no ordinary players. Maybe they are very skilled, experts and top ranking players. I love playing poker and play regularly. But yes, poker has some advantages over other gambling games and can be easily profited. But I don't agree with you, because luck exists in poker game. However, techniques can be applied occasionally. It is not for online poker game, only real casino and At the poker tournament.

There are always conditions for being able to have sponsors, one of which means that we have to be great in our field so that people dare to sponsor us to play, which can be said to be people who like to bet with the potential for victory greater than defeat, they can definitely get profits and of course get other income from sponsorship activities and others, can be said to be people like already a professional player, isn't this simple logic in recognizing cases like this?
Luck is always one of the determining factors but in pokes do not fully rely on it because the tricks and ability to play cards are very influential to determine whether you can turn things around or not, there is a term good cards will be in vain in stupid people (in this case it is no longer a case of debating having fun or looking for income).

They might not be able to make a living from poker playing, but those professional poker players have more chance of winning than we who are just sport bettors and play casino games, especially when they are more focused on tournaments than playing against computers. Nothing is guaranteed, but most of them are actually the set of gamblers who are considered to be winning in the long run.

We do know that there are strategic based kind of games on which it will really be that possible for someone to make a living with it specially if they really have the skills that could sustain up for long term. Actually its possible but only a few would be able to achieve out such state or condition. This is where other gamblers trying out to achieve because they do really believe that it is just that easy but its not. There are even those people who are that treating up on playing casino games would be something sustainable until the reality do slap into their faces then some of them do make out some realizations but there are those who are stubborn and really that still pushes up on what they do have in mind on which it would be that absurd. Gambling is never been a sustinable thing and that should people be thinking at least to avoid potential issues and problems.

Gambling is not good as one of the places to find income, there requires a lot of luck to win, inconsistent results and cannot be measured mathematically make gambling not the right place, so just look for another job that is certainly possible to get a more stable and better income.
 
In looking for income, it must be realistic that depends on ability not on luck that comes uncertainly, being a sideline can make more sense than being the main place to make a living.

Actually, you are right, gambling is not the place where you can find money, fulfill your dreams, or set your future. Here, perhaps, it's just a form of entertainment that has been around since ancient times, and that's it. But today's gamblers take it to the next level, their only and main focus is on gambling. Why not? They think it's the easiest way to earn money, but they forget that it's also the easiest way to lose it. If they want to make money from gambling and have no other permanent source, then they should not even come close to it. Instead, they should focus on more realistic jobs and other ways for entertainment; that would be better.

This are repeated subjects in this place. We have discussed it many times. And anyone who is surviving with gambling income is in debt. Because you can't win at all the time and the days you didn't win, what will you do? You will go and borrow to survive and even you win, some days, you won't win much and if you use the wins to pay debt what will you eat? I don't believe the saying that people survive with gambling income. There are doing other businesses.

Yes, you are absolutely correct regarding what you just stated above about everyone who is claiming to survive through gambling as being a big lie, as there has to be an alternative source through which they get their money from, since winning through gambling is not guaranteed. Because to be frankly speaking, the only people that can claim to survive through gambling are it's operators and people working as staff of the casinos, or influencers who are getting paid to promote these casinos to a wide range of audience. And apart from these sets of people, the rest are just playing a game of trying luck. And for that reason alone, is enough reason for newbies to know that gambling is a game they ought to use an amount they are willing and ready to afford losing.

Surviving through gambling can't be sustainable because it's not guaranteed to be taking as a means of making income because it's income that a person can survive on since it's guaranteed to come in monthly or weekly set up. Gambling doesn't favour the gamblers when it's about making profit, it rather a favour which the gambling site owner fully enjoys until whenever the platform probably shutdown.

I think gambling can never be the main source of income for a person, there is no confirm of making money through gambling, the results of gambling are completely unpredictable. Gambling is only for entertainment, not for making money. When we choose gambling to enjoy entertainment, the main purpose of gambling will be right and self-control can be maintained and gambling can be played for a long time and the fun of gambling can be enjoy and the gambler can protect himself from addiction. And when a person starts gambling with the intention of making money, the losses will increase relatively and gradually the gambler will lose everything, so gambling will become a big threat to life. So I think gambling is only for entertainment, it is not right to see gambling as the main purpose of making 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.

I never believe that it is possible to generate a sustainable income source through gambling, the reason is simple that we can never ensure our victory with strategy and skill in gambling, here the final stage will be our fate that will decide whether we will win or lose in a gambling.

And where skill and strategy are not a matter of work, it should definitely not be selected as a career or income source and even if someone does, it will never be possible for them to generate a sustainable income, as a result of which they will always go through financial crises. And for all these reasons, I would say that it is wise to consider gambling only as a source of entertainment.

You’ve summarized the "Gambler’s Trap" perfectly. The transition from gambling as a hobby to gambling as a "job" is where the psychology of the game turns against you. When you need a win to pay a bill, your decision-making shifts from your rational brain to your survival brain, and that is exactly when the house edge eats you alive.

How would gambling be someone’s main source of income?I'm still wondering how do most people enjoy losing on a regular basis.The chances of losing is higher than the chances of winning,so if you consider making gambling your main source of income you’re expected to build your emotions in a way that you won’t be disappointed or depressed each time you lose.And also the chances of becoming a gambling addict is high when you make gambling your main source of income,reason is because due to the losses you might always be moved to chase losses and in return you’ll be addicted.

[Stablexcoin]

Gambling is for entertainment and fun as most people would say. It can never be a major source of income in this world. Except in our imagination, since most gamblers rely more on their imagination that what is in realty. I see those gamblers who take gambling as their own source of income and means to get wealthy as individuals with brain issues. If not for addiction why would anyone think that way. Whenever we gambler, we lose and sometimes we win, a stable source of income doesn't occur in such manner. I believe they should know the difference.

Is not about the toughness in it, if one wants to use that medium to make money through gambling. Though you are right about everything you said, but to be at the safer side, one has to embrace gambling to be for entertainment, which will make more sense that way instead of thinking it or using it to make money through it, which will gives one a hard time by making them to feel disappointed and regretful.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Tje risk is high when gambling is considered to be a sustainable income such believe or focus is not far from been addicted because the uncertainty can't give you all you want at a given moment even when needed compared to what a sustainable income can do. It's better to know that gambling is luck propelled by knowledge and smartness failure to be smartness and as well apply knowledge one life will be made miserable while engaging on it where the society will considered you of no value, because once your gambling has gone beyond normal due to over zealous to achieve greatly in the process of making the process a sustainable income, once lifestyle will automatically change and it may be negative change as anything that can make you achieve the target is an option.

Yeah I agree, the only way a gambler can earn without losing or relying on luck is by becoming an influencer related to gambling. They can create content about gambling or earn money through affiliates. Gambling itself is never sustainable because it always involves winning and losing. Thinking of gambling as a sustainable income is a very naive way of thinking. Also, not everyone can treat gambling as entertainment many gamblers take it very seriously instead. So, gambling is really just a place where we try our luck.

In gambling you cant escape from losing, very impossible.  Where their is no lose im gambling then it is not lose. Before going into gambling one of the things you need to think about is lose and if uou are not ready to lose then it means one is not ready for gambling.  In a game like gambling that losing is constant, it doesn't make any sense to rely on it as a source of income.

 It is important for people to have it in mind as a game of luck and if you are not lucky to win, the ideal thing is to stop playing,  failing to do so, then one is only planning to lose much that they cant afford.

Yes, losing is something that no one who gambles can avoid, including those with experience or so called professionals. Trying to avoid losing while gambling is like defying the laws of gambling since players will inevitably lose more often than they win, it simply doesn’t make sense to rely on it as a source of income.

I have also realized that some of these professional poker players are experts at cheating, they have learned the art of mastering with your psychology to beat your chances. They sometimes study one’s show of desperation to knock them off and that is why poker players are very smart players to gamble with. You are calculating one and they are already in the 100s and everything just seems perfect when they meet with those with less thinking capacity. They won’t leave the game when you think they should, they would rather fold even when it does not make any sense to you. All those tricks are what make some gamblers tough when it comes to winning the poker game.

This is what actually leads to addiction, when you want to use gambling as a means of survival and not just a game anymore.
The pressure alone to meet up with bills and other necessities is what will drive one to losses because you will continue putting your money on daily basis just to win without even realizing that you’ve even lost more than you’re chasing thereby becoming addicted.

What you’re saying makes a lot of sense. We really do need to adopt a more prudent mindset when it comes to finding sources of income, because this affects our livelihood in real life. Relying on something that offers no certainty is an unwise decision, especially when it comes to gambling, which largely depends on luck.

It would be much better to find a steady job, at the very least, having a more stable income can make life more peaceful. Just think about it, if gambling were one of your or even your only sources of income, you’d surely be stressed every single day.
