Topic: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling (Read 5100 times)

But if you truly want to excel and make more money than you can imagine, you need to act and behave in the casino that is different from the 90% who are losing and just playing for entertainment.

People only gets what they want in the casino. If they want fun they get fun, If they want to waste time they waste it. If one wants to make money consistently then it will take them a lot of effort because being discipline in casino is difficult that is why only few are successfully can make money over a long period of time. You've got to approach it in a professional way.

The OP pertaining to play gambling as career not working for casino because you obviously don’t gamble if you are working to the casino because you have job description that doesn’t involve gambling.

You are playing gambling when you risk which is the one OP describing. Working for casino is truly the only way to become successful while you are still involved in gambling industry but again it’s not a gambling career but rather your job career in casino because you are not gambling on your job unless your job is to play with players and risk your own money.

Gambling has always been full of uncertainties no matter how assuring most people might make it look. The chances of losing is always higher than that of winning and this is what people should always remember before thinking of considering gambling as a source of income or a career. The only people who can consider gambling to be a job or a form of career are the casino owners, although they may also have their losses but the losses can be managed, unlike a gambler who just decidd to consider gambling as a source of income rather than an activity that provides thrills and fun.

Those involved in gambling and casino site promotion, especially those involved in team management, have their careers largely built around gambling and casinos. We can see their careers here as they get involved in gambling and casino sites and change their lifestyles as they get paid.
But not everyone can build a career around gambling and casino because not everyone is an expert in this field and gets regular profits. Only those who get expert and regular profit can make their career here.

Exactly, gambling is not a job but nothing more than an activity that will only be useful to fill boring empty time, so it is clear with this then of course gambling cannot be used as a profession to achieve success, and after all, as you said, the results of gambling are always "hit and miss" or meaning nothing more than a "possibility" which is the name of the possibility will certainly not always be able to happen, which means this is the reason why sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

This is also the reason why gambling is called an activity full of uncertainty, because there is absolutely nothing that can guarantee you to actually win, while success is when you are involved in a field that has improvement or has the potential for development to become better or more knowledgeable that can give you certainty in terms of earning regularly at the end of the journey, but gambling does not work like that, there is no experience that you can learn anything other than victory that only comes "occasionally".

Definitely, you are right about gambling not being a job, or a career and so on but you are wrong with some of the reasons you mentioned as to why gambling is not a job or career.
First, you don't have to earn or make money at any specific or stamped time or day, to consider something a career or job, there are some jobs that pays the worker at any time, it doesn't matter whether daily, weekly or monthly, you are simply paid at any time you accomplish a task set for you in the job, for example, I used to market products from different companies several years ago, and each time any of us manages to sell any of those products to someone, that person get paid his or her commission immediately, one could get paid two, three or even four times a day, depending on how many products he or she is able to sell out, and if for a whole month, you are not able to sell any product, you don't get paid.

And another example is trading, trading is a job, it's a career, and it can pay you at any time, doesnt matter at what time the day is, trading pays you anytime you trade and win the trade, you make profit, you can enter into as many as 10 trades in a day, and if you know what you are doing, you possibly can make profit in all of them, and you get your money whenever you want it instantly without delay, you don't have to wait till the end of the month to get paid.

So, the fact gambling doesnt have any specific time it pays a gambler, does not or isn't the reason why it's not a Job or a career, it is simply not a career because it not something one can depend on to make enough money from to take care of all of their life needs, and this is because, you are completely dependent on luck, your own efforts or skills, does not contribute anything to increase your chances of winning and provide some level of guarantee, nothing like that.

This sums it all up. Gambling isn’t a job. On occasion, one can win some some money here and there but as it doesn’t come regularly and at a certain time and no one literally employed you, it just cannot be said to be employment.
And then talking about starting a career is out of the question. A job is supposed to pay you for your time or/and services rendered without you requiring you to part with your money. With gambling, you part with some money hoping to win and can still end up losing. Gambling simply isn’t a job.

Op your opinion is not bad but making gambling a few time job might be misleading because one cannot actually survive by predicting games all the time.

However, it will be nice to rather say that one can actually make out something useful from gambling and start up something reasonable. For instance if a gambler learns how to control his emotions and knows the need for money management he can actually start something with gambling .Money management here implies on how the gambler invest the money he or she makes from gambling ,if a gambler wins a huge amount of money he or she can invest by starting up a small scale  business to earn a living rather depending on daily gambling  as a full time job .

Lastly  , gambling is not a career and I have never seen any portfolio that bears gambling as an occupation or a means for livelihood.

Yes, it is true that a person can earn a lot of money in gambling but cannot consider it as a source of income. Because gambling implies uncertainty. There are a number of people who make money from gambling and make a living but in most cases this is not possible. Because not everyone can take a high level of risk or have that level of skill. It is best to think of gambling as a source of temporary excitement rather than a source of income.

Also we can never consider gambling as a source of income as there is no chance of regular income from it. But there are many gamblers who at the beginning of gambling consider it as another source of income but at some point they fail there and live in despair. A gambler can enjoy gambling by considering it as a means of temporary excitement. Gambling can make gamblers win more but it is not acceptable as a regular income or career.

One of the main reasons on why gambling industry is really that profitable it is really just that because people do really keeps coming back because of such intent or really likes to win up that huge
and make themselves rich on which we know that this is something that cant really be that possible on that way because gambling do really talks about having that luck on which this is something
that you would really be needing to realize that things arent supposed to be that forcibly be applied on which we know that it cant really be that possible. Successful career?
This is only possible with those strategic based games like poker and sports betting but for casino games? It is really just that impossible.

Casino owners are into business, and they have invested their money, and that is why they are making money out of their investment. It is a secured investment, because it is a company and they render service to the public. Which service does a gambler offer to the casino that will make him be successful. Rather, he is after the casino funds, and this is why they keep on playing and playing even when losing.

Those gamblers that became successful through gamble, never took it as a full time job, that their lives depend on it. They were just gambling for fun, and never thought they could win big, but their luck came in play and they won big. Those gamblers also invested the money from their wins, and that is why they were successful. Whoever wins big, and continue gambling will become broke again. Gamble can only sustain you in a short period of time, and not for a lifetime.

Being addiction-free is enough gambling success, indeed. This has to change the context of this thread; people shouldn't think success revolves around making consistent money via gambling. We all know it's impossible to win all the time. Making it out of addiction is a success. A gambler can be successful in multiple ways, not just about money. If he consistently meets up with the requirements of his strategy, he'd be considered successful in that aspect. Players who only think of making gambling a career should think of a company where they get paid to use their money to run the company, with the promise that they'll win big sometime, someday.

The false gambling information or message passed down to new gamblers is so convincing that they accept it as true. And they go ahead to try it out but get disappointed, finally. Unfortunately, they can't do anything about it, the blame is on them for not picking up the responsibility for their actions. Gambling is fun, but too much of it isn't. Let's say a person gambles every day as a career, he'd get tired of it over time. Not being able to associate with loved ones, meet new friends, etc. is all parts of the world that make this place a better place. Hence, taking up gambling as a career isn't encouraged. It's a boring career, nobody should be encouraged to try it out.

The house always wins. But things have changed, man. Streamers are gambling's new warriors. They perform, not just play. And guess what? They're winning big from the spectacle, not the bets.

Meanwhile, ordinary people put real money in those slots? Still losing. We all know the odds are against us. It's the basic craving for mayhem in our humdrum existence. While the house rakes it in, streamers entertain us like modern jesters.

If you're rich and in control, gambling is merely another way to kill time. Most folks don't have that opportunity. They fixate on a dream the system kills. Don't we love watching the drama unfold? Through those streams, we experience the commotion without the risk.

If we can make gambling a career or job, then now there are many people who say that they work as gamblers, but I have never heard anyone say they work as a gambler, which means this has invalidated the OP's question, unless they who own casinos, that's a different story, because they're doing business in a gambling hall, not gambling.
It would be very strange if someone thought they could do gambling as a career or job. Work is an activity that will bring in money, whereas when gambling we have to spend money first and even then the risk of losing is very large.
From the start, we have said that it is best to make gambling an activity just for fun. We only need to bring money that we can afford to lose and play gambling. It is a safe way to enjoy gambling, because if we think gambling can be a career or job, then we will always chase winning, and that is the wrong thing to do. Because once again the risk of losing is greater than the chance of winning.

Of course some individuals can become successful in gambling and make or call it as their career. In general I see this situation as following: someone has spent a lot of money and dedicated a lot of time to gambling, managed to win enough to stop working on a regular job and think about money till retirement or death. He calls that as a career and quit. This means, anyone who gamble regularly and manages to win enough money (which is quite problematic, as people are greedy) can be considered as having a career. Since only few are lucky to win jackpots, I would say that it is close to impossible to call it as a career.

Yes, of course that is undoubtedly true, Gambling owners are the most likely to succeed in their gambling career. I don't know if there is any fraud or trickery for the owners of these casinos.

As for individuals who gamble, they should consider gambling as an entertainment game. Do not see this as a place to make your career. Those who are successful in playing this game, luck has blessed them. Even good players are just losers if they don't have luck. Personally, I find that not being addicted to gambling is truly a success for me. And people are playing this game of chance.

We keep spending money because it's a dual-core for most of us, we can't stop leaving to our best every single day, atleast we'll be having 1-2 incredible outcomes. The gambling system is here to make good uses of our losses but its also our job to prevent that from happening. Professional gamblers are experienced and knows how to tackled down the top challenges coming their path. Gambling on the wrong side wouldn't take any hits, it's been one of the greatest moments to assigned one of the good running profits.

Professional gamblers does exist but it is limited to few type of games only such as poker and sports betting. These professional gamblers make a living from their gambling activity especially professional poker players by participating in various tournaments with huge prize pool. Of course, although they are professional players but there is no guarantee that they will always make money from every tournament. They must have lost some money as well but professional players know how to spend their money responsibly.

Yep... agree... pushing our luck too much every day is not the best thing to survive and I think that will only happen in television series... maybe you heard that there is a gambling professional in this world, but I also suspect that he has something like special access in the games he plays or maybe cheats so he can still make profit every day. In gambling, I always feel that our win rate is very small, so the only thing that makes sense is that our luck is also very small and cannot be used to meet our needs.

Until now, the best approach to gambling is none other than to have fun and also to fill your free time. Even though you see people who are too maniacal and too crazy about gambling, you shouldn't be in their position either because I'm sure you know what dangerous things haunt people like that.

Gambling have never been regarded as a career engagement and statistics shows that majority of the people who engaged in it as a career engagement ended up becoming gambling addicts with failed careers. Gambling is a game of fun and that's what sensitive people who have the full knowledge of gambling get involve in it for fun and the other group of persons that do it because they want to make a living out of it most times ends up as addicts.
I have a friend back in my highschool days who said he wants to make a gambling his life career and according to him, it's not energy consuming like other means of getting money. I didn't have a good knowledge of gambling and it's effects then so I wanted to do exactly what he said he was going to do but I decided to ask questions about gambling and the responses I got made me to decide not to do what I initially had in mind. He didn't want to listen to my advice and continued with his decision to make gambling his lifetime career but the end they say justifies the means. He lost almost everything he had in gambling because he became addicted but was lucky to break free from gambling addiction and today, he doesn't engage in anything  that looks like gambling because of his experience
