Topic: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling - page 21. (Read 6081 times)

Ah well, sure, if you manage to get an external source of income such as sponsors, then yeah, you can definitely keep putting that money into the casinos 

The interesting thing about that is that you could actually in theory make more money with the sponsors than what you bet, so you could in a way, make gambling your career.

Just that the money is not coming from the casino.

I think that is career in gambling which is basically not gambling but in the industry. I felt like this was more about like could you make a living by gambling itself, like you gamble and you make money that way, not what you mean.

If you are right and it means this, like could you make money by working in the gambling industry then the answer is obviously yes, you could make a big money, I know a few people who work in actual casinos and just the tips alone are bigger than my salary, those people are making my whole yearly salary in one tip from a summer month, it's real. That's not to say that it's an easy job, it's a difficult job nonetheless and it's also quite hard to get in because once someone gets a job like that, which pays that much, it's hard to quit that job and do something else, it would have to be a very big situation for you to quit that job, and this is why there aren't that many open positions that you can apply to, and when there is one, tens of thousands of people apply.

Can someone make a living out of gambling, yes they can but unfortunately pro gambling isn't meant for everyone especially that this requires alot of resources to play the long game...besides people that have a career out of gambling usually have a following that helps pay for their activity or sponsors and the alike as personal resources will likely get one into debt, emotional and financial stress and a whole list of draining stuff.

Tbh, before one aligns themselves into this career and commits to it, I think risk management must be a must have , and most likely have less distractions to succeed.

Getting a good career while gambling is impossible, but for those who really focus on gambling skills, it's not too difficult, I have a neighbor who is very good at playing baccarat, he gets a lot of money from his winnings, he even goes around to in some countries just to play baccarat, I admit that his skills are very good so he makes gambling his career, I can say that among 1:10,000, there are gamblers like this, who make gambling their job, that's because that's the only skill they have.

Well if you look at it from this aspect then one could understand the aspect you are driving at, if you are working as an employee in any betting company, then well it's fair to say that you can actually achieve something from this aspect as a career in gambling. But if we look at what is been directly meant by the OP of the thread which is the referral of someone actually turning his gambling habit as a means of income then that is a totally different case all together.

I do not really have a problem with a gambler trying to become a professional and trying to make money out of gambling, however before they even try they need to answer a very important question to themselves, and that is how exactly are they going to achieve their goal of making money while they gamble? And until they can answer that question honestly and they have the evidence on their hands that what they want to do works, then they have no business gambling at all.

That's the point of limiting our budget and controlling ourselves so that we don't use the money we have prepared to meet our daily needs. We can still gamble while we can also fulfil our daily needs and that can go hand in hand while we can avoid losing a lot. Luck can come to us, but we are still determining when that luck will come and can only gamble periodically and not excessively. So don't even think about making a successful career out of gambling because we have already seen what will happen if someone still forces himself to continue gambling even by increasing the amount of his budget. It still isn't worth doing, considering that we still have daily needs that we have to fulfill and if we run out of money, it will cause problems for us.

As I said before "Maybe" they can be successful with gambling if they become staff at a gambling company, that's possible I'm not sure. Because everyone has their own luck and luck is different, not everyone has luck only in gambling, it could be that they have luck outside of gambling such as in work or in their hobbies that can bring in income. All depends on their own luck.

Yes that's right, there must be daily needs where they have to meet those needs, if they still want to gamble I think they can limit their budget for gambling, so they don't gamble excessively. Because if luck is on their side they can get a win even if they play only occasionally, rather than continuing to play often to pursue victory but luck is not on their side it will only spend their money. It will not be easy to succeed by gambling, it is better to play reasonably and when they are lucky to get a win it can make them open a business or start a business and then they have to pursue success from the business they have. Do not force yourself to gamble by chasing victory, it is very unnatural.

As usual, we all have our different opinions and it does matter for our own concerns and the activities we indulges in. Gambling have become one of the means of producing more money for the extra wants we see everyday. It's extremely wrong to make gambling a dependable source of income, rather it should just be for fun and not one to be in desperation to earn significant profits in the system. I've watch how gambling drained the brains out of gamblers and I must say it's very important we spot out the dangers at early stage before proceeding to next stage.

No one takes gambling seriously as a career because it is an uncertain prediction where anyone can win or lose a bet. Taking up gambling as a career, the future will surely be bleak and it won't be long before the money he has earned in the past is bankrupt. However, many may take gambling as a pastime along with a career, but should not be taken too seriously. Moreover, if one devotes more time to gambling than to building his academic career, his future is thrown into an uncertain prospect from which he cannot recover.
But at a certain age limit in life there is no problem if he directs his career towards gambling but he must be retired from all kinds of employment. At that time in his life there could be no better place of entertainment than gambling.

Gambling is a pursuit that demands absolute mastery over your emotions and discipline. If you still rely on luck to win in gambling, it surely cannot be your full-time job. It's highly unpredictable; today you might win big, but tomorrow you could lose everything. The question is, will you be able to control your emotions to continue at that point?

I genuinely believe that gambling is not suitable to become a full-time job due to many factors that we cannot control. You have to constantly battle with your own psychology, leading to stress, and maintaining a job under constant stress is undoubtedly challenging, isn't it? I believe very few people can do this.

Yeah, that's the thing.

If you gamble on the side, not spending too much and you get a positive feeling from it, then it's great.

People that gamble all their life savings away are in real trouble.

The person you interviewed may be so financially well off that he lost a million dollars in your local currency just to hit the jackpot once and he still hasn't hit the jackpot. If the person you interviewed was a normal person, he would never have spent so much money or had the money to spend so much money. There are many lucky people who hit the jackpot in just one lottery and there are many gamblers who spend their whole lives gambling but never hit the jackpot. I don't expect much from gambling, I never expect to win the jackpot but I gamble in my spare time and I just enjoy the game. I know if I gamble hoping for the jackpot my pocket bank balance may be empty but I may never hit the jackpot.

I have seen quite good numbers of Agent that work for Betnaija in my country and the money they take home weekly and monthly is big enough for an average person, even professional salary earners don't make their kind of money, that's tell you how profitable a gambling business is, as an agent and they are very descipline because they don't gamble or bet games despite working as an agent to facilitate bets for people that want to bet.

The only successful career in gambling is either you start the betting company I.e if you have the capital to start or you work for the company and when you do, don't be a gambler yourself, take that responsibility and look elsewhere if you want to bet else you will lose the salary and may even borrow to play because you will always have the urge to play too of you are not discipline.

A person cannot make his career with gambling but I think he can spoil his career through gambling. May be sometimes gambler win but this better taste is temporary which will cause a permanent worries in one's life. Those who totally concentrate on gambling if concentrate on their education then they can easily make their career.



Yes this can be possible if someone work for gambling for just two or three hours but don't take profit or loss as serious then there is a possibility that he will avoid to spoil his career. If a person possess active mind and know properly that what is right and what is wrong then he will not take gambling as serious but will do it as a fun or getting a better chance to make profit.

Instead of spending money on gambling to make money, it is better for them to just look for a job where they can make more money and spend less money even though the money will be used to meet their living needs later. But by working, they can earn money and will not become addicted to gambling, which can endanger their lives, let alone spending all the money and valuables in their house. It would not be worth it for many people to gamble because it is by gambling that they will lose more money without being able to hope to make any money. Getting success from gambling or making a career from gambling will not be as easy as they imagine because they have to gamble before they can make money but that doesn't guarantee they can make money. That is why it would not be advisable to make money from gambling or make a career out of gambling. Moreover, we have seen many people lose a lot of money when they were gambling.

A gambling career will not be achievable for everyone, but if you work as a gambling company staff member, you have the potential for a sustainable career. There are many positions that can be chosen for a career in a gambling company, but if you have a career by being an active gambler, I'm not sure whether that can be called a career or just a gambler. Maybe the only option is to become an affiliate. Moreover, if he becomes an active gambler, I think this is not a career, considering that there is a possibility that he will not get any income.

I am yet to see a person who made gambling his career and his source of livelihood  who is normal and celebrated. OP can you advise your child or loved one to imitate someone that lives such a lifestyle?. Of course no. There are people whom have made gambling their daily hustle  and activities, like their full time job, but I'll tell you something:
They're living in tension cos they  live a life of probability and don't know the outcome of their day's activities, so they can't plan themselves properly.

Also, they're prone to constant frustration and anger in the event of constant loss.

They are never coordinated and responsible as their minds are always fixed to game outcomes, leaving them with little or no possibility of being innovative.

They're prone to crimes as an addicted gamble can do anything to get funds to gamble, no matter what it takes him or the moral  implication of acquiring the funds.

The only set of people I see that  seems successful in gambling are scammers who don't gamble with their funds, but drop games for people to play. They give a lot of people different predictions and we know that one correct score must play and when some of their victims win, they coerce the unsuspecting people to pay a significant amount.
Secondly are those who edits betslips and convince illiterates to  patronize them to their own detriment. They don't ever play with their own cash, but preying on desperate people. They're all over Facebook, WhatsApp and telegram.

In a nutshell, gambling is not a career and should never be seen or treated as such. I gamble to ease the stress my head must have accumulated in the day or week as the spirit leads. Gambling as a career should be greatly discouraged cos it tends to produce a generation of idiots if not checkmated.

Yes that's right, gambling is a big business. Where many people are interested in playing in it and of course they spend money to play it,  because money becomes a medium of exchange in this business, the bookie will get a lot of profit from the number of people playing gambling. The success of gambling is not experienced by many people who play, many of them lose a large amount of money, and also become difficult in terms of main financial.

Even so, many of them are not prepared to lose their money to gambling so many people also become addicted to gambling. "View gambling as a hobby, not a source of money" are words that all gamblers should keep in mind to avoid severe addiction.

Yes because it should be like that, if they do not spend money or deposit money in gambling, they will not be able to gamble, because money is the main role in gambling, there is money they can play but if there is no money they will not be able to play simple like that. They will not be able to succeed from gambling which is just an entertainment in the form of a game, therefore it is impossible to succeed because it is not a job like in general, right what you said, if they want to succeed by involving gambling, maybe they should work as staff in gambling maybe that can help them to be successful even by being staff in a gambling company. I think that to succeed just as a player is very difficult, there is a chance maybe but not big, it all comes back to their luck that will give them the victory. And they should not gamble until they spend their money let alone spend their savings.

No work can be done properly without skill. As mentioned earlier how to play blackjack and poker is not only a matter of chance but also of skill. Conscious people don't think of gambling as a way to make money but play for fun and with good luck it is possible to win. Remember although tricks can improve your odds blackjack is still a game of chance and the outcome is never guaranteed. The objective is to make informed decisions manage your bankroll responsibly and enjoy the game. By applying these principles you will increase your chances of winning.
