Topic: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling - page 3. (Read 6081 times)

I mean, there are a few individuals who have made money gambling, like David Walsh from Australia.

But those individuals are extremely rare, and they simply got lucky, as well as also put a lot of effort, money, and time into it.

Others have put the same or more effort and end up without anything. That's actually the most common way of going.

I haven't seen anyone taking up gambling as a career but I have seen many taking it up as a pastime to spend their free time. To make gambling as a career, regular income from gambling must be possible, which is not possible at all from gambling. So no one wants to accept this uncertain possibility as an integral part of life.  If there was a guarantee of payment, maybe many people would take up gambling as a career.

Yeah, that's true.

In the end the only people that will end up with more money than when they started are the ones who are not gambling.

Basically the people that run the casinos, the people that run the ads, the influencers, etc, etc. Basically anything around the gambling itself.

Though I struggled to understand what you wrote because of the typographical errors in your write up, I think I was still able to get your message which corresponds with my belief about succeeding in gambling. Gambling no matter how modern day influencers tries to package it isn't a career for anyone to thrive on but a gaming system that involves the stake of money or valuables to either win back the already staked money alongside the extra gains or lose the whole money. That's my own definition of gambling and that's why I would never advise anyone to engage in it as a source of income but should see gambling as an engagement for fun. Like you rightly said, unless you're the owner or an agent of a gambling company, you should never think you can become successful with gambling.

Who bumped this thread haha but if the question still same Can somebody make a successful career in gambling i dont know frenn i saw on Instagram reels there is a somebody he said his wnning rate is around 80% he drive lambo and said that most casino banning him because his luck but in my opinion gambling can be a successful carrer unless you are the owner of the casino or brand ambassador

Plenty of people make their entire career based on the "perceived view" that they are gamblers.

So, basically they get paid by ads, or gambling casino marketing, or Youtube ads, etc...

But if you think you can actually make a living based on bets on a casino, then you are simply misinformed. The most probable outcome for a gambler is to lose all their money eventually. That's just math.

In business you might lose your money but it's not something that happens often because many times we do get profits. But in gamble it's very hard to make a good career from it because it's what can make you to lose everyday if you are not lucky. Gamble is not like an investment or business that can profit a gambler but one might be lucky to have success from gamble when he gets lucky.

Gambling as your primary job? Bad concept. Very terrible. Smart people know gambling is entertainment. Consider it a spectacle, not a paycheck. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you a bridge. These gambling houses, they're not charities. They make money, not give it away. The house always wins. No secret formula or method can beat the system. Luck isnt reliable, guys.

But hey, if you've got a good job, money coming in, then go ahead, have some fun gambling. Earn some additional cash? Great! Dont rely on it or use it as a crutch. The jackpot tales? They're lottery winners, not average. If you win large, be smart. Make it work by investing and growing it. You construct a future and win long-term that way. Smart money management is more important than luck. Its true, folks.

I don't think that is really possible because even those ponter on Facebook, Twitter, etc they have career what they do is just use gambling to pass time. How will you make something you be losing huge amount of money before you win a career are you planning to move forward in life or backward. Well I don't still know how one will make gambling a career when winning and losing is Paramount, the winning we are talking about is not even certain or sure but if you think it's possible you can try it and then if it worked out people will definitely dive into it. Morever, just like said in my previous post, gambling is grace and that grace doesn't come everytime we gamble rather it comes when we least expect it.

I've always said that gambling is an extra activity that should never be taken too seriously, not to mention believing that one can be making their life's earnings through it. No wonder some people will be so disappointed by gambling by believing that since it is an avenue to make money, they can now rely solely on it, that's just a rubbish thought. Gambling is risky and no one knows it all. It is not an activity that will be guaranteed in terms of earnings, so why waste your life on it? The best is to have a good job that is reliable and still gamble if you want, and if gambling earns you money in this sense, it is the best because you will never depend on it for your daily bread. If one could do otherwise, then the desperation would be high, and I can assure the person that the time he needs money desperately is the time gambling will fail him.

What kind of life is that? It gets aggravated if the person is a family man or has a lot of dependence, can gambling help cater for all their needs? I am certain that it is not possible, not under such pressure. Fine, one may be lucky at times and hit that Jackpot in a big form, but such a situation is not common, and if such a person is not even careful enough, all the money won, or almost all of it could be wasted in subsequent gambling. But the wise one will invest most of the money even as he continues to gamble. Now, with the investment included, this still means that such a person cannot ever rely on gambling alone to be happy in life. By the way, that's an example of a lucky gambler, but most people are not lucky. If the lucky person also mismanages, that opportunity may never come ever again, so relying solely on gambling will never guarantee you a good living.

There are plenty of risks in gambling and we can always make good money if we have a gold skill to make money. I am still thinking on how someone can make a career from gambling which looks very skeptical to me. We can always make money from gambling but creating a career looks very absurd which we need to think twice before agreeing to gamble as much as we can. Career is something that skill and requires us to go to school so we can get a career from it. Does gambling has it own school? Not really but we can still get a skill from playing different games.

It's true that someone gambles to get good luck in a short time by enriching themselves. It's proven to be successful in gambling, even though it rarely happens, but what's wrong if you try? Maybe by trying, we can get success in the future with the basic consideration of luck because we don't know what will happen to us at that timeand in the future.

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.
