What makes Someone a professional gambler?

[Josefjix]

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.

What makes a successful gambler is the ability to know how to gamble responsibly, to know how to use affordable amount, and then win reasonable amount too. The winning amount doesn't really matter, whether it's small or big amount. So long as the bettor doesn't use his life savings for it.

A bettor might use $10k for a bet, if that's his afford to lose amount, that's smart, another gambler can use $500, if he can't afford to lose it, that's irresponsible gambling, such person is not a professional gambler.

The first characteristic that a professional gambler must have is that he must have enough self-control. How much he wins and how much he loses will not depend on it, but on whether he can stop himself at the right time. The only difference between a non-professional and a professional gambler is that if a person loses more than once, he cannot control himself, but he keeps trying again and again to recover his past losses. But a professional gambler, once he loses, must make the right decision in the next bet and stop himself and prepare how to make the next decision. A professional gambler never blames himself for losses, but a non-professional gambler regrets a lot after losing in gambling.

A professional gambler is someone, who makes a living playing gambling games. Have you ever seen such person? I don't believe that such people exist(maybe except some successful sports bettors, but they are really difficult to be found, and many of them are faking their success). I'm not talking about the professional poker players, who participate in major poker tournaments. This is the closest thing to a truly professional gambler, and I don't believe that most of them are making a living as poker players. If you think that a "professional gambler" is someone, who gambles on a daily basis, you are totally wrong. That's a compulsive gambler(or a gambling addict).

This topic has been addressed countless times, but people seem to believe easy things more than concrete, real, and real things.
Is a player a professional when he establishes himself? When does he manage to earn a living and therefore his only livelihood is gambling?
But do you really believe something like this is possible? Perhaps all over the world we can count a few who have achieved great winnings and are now living a comfortable life, but don't believe everything they tell you. Maybe they have extra income, from passive profits from real estate leases, but certainly an entrepreneur, a professional doesn't reveal his earnings, if a gambler does (to reveal his earnings) are you all ready to believe anything he says?
Please, for your sake, leave this mentality aside, it's called gambling and not the profession of gambling, there must be a reason right?

A professional gambler, if there is one should be something that manages their risk to the minimal level and do not let their gambling lifestyle affect their day-to-day living. Gambling can be addictive and that's bad, but professionals would always find a way to make it work and balance their losses alongside their wins.

It's not necessarily about the amount of money staked, but the strategy and discipline employed to keep the head leveled at all times. You do not need to gamble regularly to be called a professional.

For many people, it's always those who win more that deserve to be called professional gambler but for me it's not the same, a professional gambler is someone who knows how to manage risk very well and also be in control of their body and emotions, in short there is no such thing as a professional gambler because gambling was never made for people to win more than casinos itself, that's why a winner will always be restricted on a casino when they win too much.

For casino, they might not call it blatantly cheating him, but if they see someone like winning too much, it's they might kick them out as he could be a card reading. And that is the ironic part for us gamblers.

Mostly though, those who are called professional gambler are those who are making a lot of money from it. Like for example a poker player, who we all know have a lot of tournaments and there are a lot of them are professional for winning a tournament, not just once but twice.

From what I know, professional gamblers usually have very strong discipline when it comes to bankroll management and are able to control their emotions. They have various ways of analyzing gambling opportunities to find where they can make money. But it's important to understand that being called a professional gambler doesn't mean they never lose. They just know how to minimize their losses.

Anyone can tell others they're professional gamblers without showing any record. A couple of winning betting slips are enough for them to believe it. No need to show the losses and the losing streak that they have been. I think people are so worried about the titles they're called when gambling is made to be for fun and we shouldn't box our minds if whether to be known as a professional or casual. I'd like to show others that I gamble but I better be graded as a casual or normal gambler so that it won't be too burdening to me when I have a lot of losses.

I will call a person a professional gambler if 1) gambling is his only source of income 2) he gamble regularly and is successful in it 3) he has managed to avoid addiction, i.e. level of his self-control and confidence in taking decisions in gambling is at an astronomical level. 4*) I think that person should be regular tournament visitor. I have put * on purpose, that is not a must, but participating in tournaments imho shows high level of your preparation and attitude to what you are doing. Competing and proving that you are the best in gambling, rather than just earning money, that is what a professional is.

Being a professional gambler has nothing to do with your winning or losing, but rather it has more to do with how you react when you are out of funds, and the mindset you use in gambling. Because a responsible gambler will not be chasing losses, or borrowing more money to gamble when he or she is out of funds, but instead he will call it a day once he is done with his gambling budget, because he is only doing it for fun.

Furthermore, a responsible gambler will never take gambling as a means of earning a living because that is the fastest way to go broke, since he is going to gamble to frequently and expose himself to gambling addiction.

[Saltysugar99]

I have doubts about whether gambling can really be used as a profession. If someone opens a betting site, it can be a good business or investment. Or if someone invests in a betting site or buys shares, it may seem logical to him. But if someone is regularly betting on that site for profit spending money on casino games, betting on sports consistently for profit then I would call it foolish. Many people may have been associated with gambling for a long time, maybe they are in a profitable position due to good luck so they can claim to be professional gamblers; but I don't think he only earns from betting he must have some other business besides betting. Because it is not possible for any person to profit from gambling regularly. And taking gambling as a profession can be risky. It should be limited to entertainment purposes only.

Because their needs are easily fulfilled. Because when a person starts getting money without any difficulty and when all their needs are fulfilled without any difficulty, then that person definitely becomes lazy towards work. But such a person never keeps one thing in mind, that is, gambling is completely dependent on luck and if a person wins 2 days, then he will definitely face loss on 3 days.

People who do not have any source of income and who are very young consider or think themselves as professional gamblers. Such people win a small amount of money and when their needs are fulfilled, they consider themselves as professional gamblers and think that they will always win in this way.

C'mon, you start talking about professional players and then go on about responsible gambling. Those are two different things - sometimes they've got nothing to do with each other.
You're a professional only when gambling is your main income. Gambling is your job.
Doesn't matter how good you are at gambling, how lucky you are, or how responsible you are. The only thing that matters is whether it's a job or not.

From the word itself, professional means it's what you do, and you are good at what you do, which means you are profitable. You don't call yourself a pro when you are not making money from gambling, and these people are realistic enough that even if they are up 100% on a given amount, they already consider it a big success, unlike us who can hit x10 in a day and yet we are still not contented, in short they have a different mindset.

In what aspect do we classify and rated someone as a professional gambler?

A professional gambler is someone whose primary source of income comes from casinos and betting platforms. They tend to spend a lot of time on these platforms, but unlike a gambling addict, they're skilled enough to know when to stop ^{[e.g., great self-control]} or when to take a risk.
^{- FWIW, I don't think the amount a gambler wins is what makes them a professional, but rather the manner in which they achieve it.}

Professionalism is not necessary in gambling, because sometimes it may come inform of threat to the life of a gambler. Because it encourages negative behaviours such as greediness, overconfidence, reckless decision making, mental health disorder and most the most harmful act, which is addiction. No level of expert can terminate the risks that are involved in gambling, because no matter how skilled you are, as a gambler the potential consequences overtake the benefits if care is not taken. Some people might consider them to be a professional gambler when they’ve spent several gambling, and this doesn't signifies anything. Because of the complicated nature of gambling.

The definition of a professional is quite simple, if someone makes a living from their occupation, then they are a professional. Everything else is secondary. In other words, if you can make a decent living from gambling, you have every right to call yourself a professional gambler. If this is just a hobby for you, or if you are unsure whether you will be able to earn enough money from gambling to cover your living expenses next month, then you are an ordinary player.

People who do not have any source of income and who are very young consider or think themselves as professional gamblers. Such people win a small amount of money and when their needs are fulfilled, they consider themselves as professional gamblers and think that they will always win in this way.

This is the real thought of greed, which is why common people get involved in gambling and gamble their money repeatedly, some of which they win and some of which they lose. If you are new to gambling and win, this thought goes all the way to the end and that is why they become poor. To become a professional gambler, you have to gamble at least daily and that is how you become a professional gambler. In my opinion, if everyone plays gambling for fun, it can be quite interesting, but along with this fun, it becomes a disease, so not everyone plays it with this thought, but they use it as a means to increase their convenience and income. That is why people get worried after losing in gambling and become poor with money.

Personally, I think a gambling professional is someone who excels at winning. But on the other hand, luck is a huge factor in gambling, so how can you influence your skill if even the slot machine itself can auto-spin?
Then perhaps we should be talking about the types of gambling that gamblers can gamble on. These are card games, and that's it. For me, an excellent professional gambler is someone who plays blackjack and poker well. But overall, I'd like to point out that professional online poker is dead because of AI.
