At this point for someone to become a professional gambler does it comes about the risk that is always taken when placing your bet that makes him professional gambler, or does it come from the amount that such person regularly win from the gambling site or?
In what aspect do we classify and rated someone as a professional gambler?

As we know, most people nowadays do rate themselves as a professional gambler and I am cared to know in what aspect should someone classify himself or herself as a professional gambler.

It is actually quite easy to know if someone is a professional gambler or not. They just have to comply with two basic requirements for them to be professional at gambling.

The first requirement is gambling regularly on casinos with their own initial bankroll, regular enough so they could not be considered to be a casual gambler.

The second requirement is not having any other source of income other than gambling, so gambling covers all the expenses of the person, basically making gambling their "job".

If someone manages to reach those requirements, then I would be ready to call them a truly professional gambler or bettor. Otherwise, they are just a regular gambler.

Is gambling a profession? No!!

The truth is that most people will not agree with you on this. If you doubt me, go straight to X and ask this; then you've just started an argument over there.

However, I still don't agree that there's anything like a professional gambler, but what I can say is that a good gambler knows how to gamble responsibly to prevent huge losses.

Of course there is nothing like that, most of the time I see the professional gambler statement I just suspect them to be either scammers or those punters who claim to have insider information in a sport to give correct score predictions or something like that, so it’s always in a place of skepticism that you see people use professional gambling, because there is no such thing.

I don't even see any reason why someone will be classified as a professional gambler, but while growing up I know a certain group of people who always gamble,everytime they talked about gambling activities,how much they want to make ,they talked about their loses and wins, so because they always talk about it ,I feel that was a good occupation, because of that I see them as professional gamblers ,but now as an adult I just realized that gambling shouldn't be seen as an occupation talk more of seeing someone as a professional gambler,it can only demaged people than we can imagine.

Professionalism in gambling is basically a way of taking gambling serious and making money consistently from it.

So to be a professional gambling you have to be consistent in making profits, if you are then you are a professional, but the fact that you are to loose mathematicaly in a long term because of the house edge casinos have, then there is not a possibility of being a professional gambler.

A person cannot be considered a professional gambler based on betting and winning regularly because to be considered a professional gambler, one must rely on some qualities or some strategies. A person who has sufficient gambling strategies such as the ability to use a budget on a gambling platform, the ability to win regularly, and the ability to use a controlled budget rather than an uncontrolled budget, should be considered a professional gambler for these reasons.

Ordinarily when you see someone calling himself a professional gambler it simply means the person gamble for a living. A professional gambler is someone who takes gambling as his hobby or profession. These people gamble for a living and they are set of people who go to the point of equipping themselves with various gambling tools and skills used in making gambling analysis, others may see gambling as a game of luck or chance and also part of fun but they see it differently as a serious business with dedication.

I think it’s all about the experience and how you approach gambling, maybe the very close distance between a gambler and an addict is just a matter of the number of spending compared to the income. A person who has a small salary and spend most of it while another person with multiple incomes and spending the same amount, we can distinguish between both easily.
For me personally I prefer gambling less than a 5% of my income rather than mentioning the exact amount because the difference here is how important is that money to you and not generally speaking.

Honestly, the term professional gambler is something that can be avoided, because luck isn’t a skill or something you could get better with it, it’s literally a hit of luck.

Professional gambling is the process or act of depending on gambling as your major means of survival. This set of gamblers doesn't have any other source of income besides gambling. There are gamblers who see themselves as professionals. They claim that they depend solely on gambling as a source of income. I have read about them on the internet.

I have not had any physical interaction with those who successfully rely only on gambling as a source of income. But I think those who have won big in gambling could rely only on gambling. They would use the money they have won to sustain themselves as they keep betting for more wins.

Professional gambler is the individual who is experienced with gambling games, its mechanisms and features, while being responsible on his betting patterns. A professional gambler isn't addicted, he knows his limits and plays responsively, even though it's not likely he is being a profitable gambler.

He has a natural passion for gambling, and enjoys his time learning and playing. It's also likely this individual has a natural tendency to numbers and mathematics.

I see no reason why someone will classified him or herself as a professional gambler knowing too well that there is no professionalism in gambling, Gambling is purely based on luck. People maybe lucky wining regularly and consecutively in a row without losing but that doesn't make them a professional. When talking about professional in anything, it means something you do at will and get results instantly due to your high level of commitment t that work. But anything you do and still expect luck or miracle to happen, it means that their is no professionalism in it.

No one is professional or perfect in gambling. Sometimes you can win and sometimes you lose. No one has control over the winning and losing of gambling or there is no strategy through which you can win frequently from gambling. I will call those professional gamblers who understand the limitations of gambling and can control themselves. Very few gamblers can maintain these things and maximum gamblers think themselves perfect but when they win, they get very excited and when they lose, they try to recover them. In this way, they lose control within themselves and forget their limitations. There is nothing to be called professional in gambling.

Based on the meaning of the 'professional' in my view, a professional gambler is someone who relies on gambling as their primary source of income. Gamblers who gamble not as a place of entertainment, they have several characteristics, such as:

(1) They understand the risks.
(2) They have a record of activities.
(3) Those who are able to manage their emotions, like poker face.

Easy conclusion, they understand everything in gambling.

Now you need to ask some questions.  Those who think they are professional in gambling what do you think is their gambling results.  Despite they rely on gambling as a source of income do you think they win consistently in gambling? I dont think if a gambler relies in gambling as a source of income this now makes him to be professional gambler. I agree with Churchillvv that those who claim to be professional only wants to scam or take advantage of people to help them scam and make money from.

Just like you said, a professional gambler is good with numbers and understand how to pick odds that favor them. They have mastered certain strategies that gives them an edge, they know how to improvise quickly and know when to call it quits for the day, just to preserve their capital, save themselves the pressure of headache or manage their losses.

The most important attribute that makes them professional is that they have been doing this for longer than most and have achieved a lot more than others with their gambling activities even though it might not be their true source of income.

If at all there is really such as accorded professional gamblers, they should be those that has the betting skills even to beat the house edge or always get guaranteed of their bets.
Unfortunately there is non to prove all that claims rather, those who had been able to be profitable in the long term had thought to address themselves as professional gamblers.

Even those of them that had adopted gambling for source of income and had not even been able to recover their loose will still call themselves professional gamblers because, their visions over gambling is a dedicated one. Of course some addiction victims may also portray themselves as professional.

It is not about wagering amounts but number of times you wins may determine your professional level in the game.

I think everyone has their own opinion on "classifying a professional gambler", and it will be subjective.

For me, a professional gambler is one who is adept at minimizing their risks in gambling, in order to minimize their losses. For example: an active gambler plays with discipline; meaning they gamble only within their means and don't exceed their reasonable limits (in terms of budgeting). This type of gambler may also be one who can manage their time well while gambling, including managing their emotions well.

Well, maybe this type of gambler is very rare, as many gamblers may become overly enthusiastic, or lose control of themselves on one day. Nevertheless, we must continue to strive to avoid getting too caught up in irresponsible gambling habits, as it should.

By the way, I found a reference related to this discussion : legalline.ca -  What is a “professional” gambler? (but, I don't agree with the word "living by gambling", because there is no certainty in gambling, it can't be like that)

Honestly, before answering I will ask you another question: Why do you want to know this? What changes if you or someone else is a professional gambler?

I do not know if there is a correct classification for this, but my opinion (I could be wrong) is that a professional gambler is not someone who takes risks or has fixed amount of winnings, I think it is someone who bets as a regular activity, has a well organized way and focus to generating income rather than just an entertainment.

If you see a bettor who has good methods, is dedicated to betting and records consistent winnings that support this "professional" classification, without necessarily placing large bets or winning huge amounts... organization and consistency are the points I think are relevant here.

But seriously... does someone that organized, who can win consistently enough to make gambling a source of income, actually exist?

 You're correct in your comment regarding experience and understanding of odds, but I feel there's a distinction between being an experienced gambler and a professional gambler. And also I don't believe that just because a person has been gambling for years or the amount of money that they have won automatically makes that person a professional.  I would also check their approach, how they manage risk and see if there is any consistency in their performance, which would be reflected in their results.

I simply refuse to believe that you can be a professional at something that depends on purely luck because well it is just luck although I do believe you can get better at losing less when gambling and that is skill can you can grow. I call it a skill because not every gambler knows how to lose less. But you see winning, no body can master winning in gambling unless what you're mastering is how to cheat which is not exactly fair gambling.
But if I were to answer in terms of you question, I would say if someone can know how to lose less when gambling then he is good at gambling, simple and short.

As long as gamblers still make the definition of gambling as luck or a game of pleasure then they will not be able to become a professional gambler because I see from professional gamblers they all put it aside and assume gambling is a business they run without forgetting risk management.

So when you think of this as a binary supported by data and analysis and forget that gambling is a luck or just a game when you are bored then maybe you already have a readiness for it (become a professional gambler) but this is certainly not easy because what distinguishes ordinary gamblers and professional gamblers is the seriousness they have.
It's the same as when we like football then we can be a player and play football but to be a professional athlete of course it is not as easy as imagined because there are many things to do especially for discipline issues in any case (lifestyle and training).
