Topic: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling - page 32. (Read 6081 times)

I believe that no one can make a successful career only on gambling. In many books, psychologists have identified the moment when a gambler begins to treat gambling absolutely incorrectly. I'm talking about the moment when all the troubles begin and the fun of the game ends. This moment occurs when the gambler decides that gambling is not a way to have fun, but a possible income. And even on a permanent basis! And this is gambler's wrong thinking. Gambling is a game, and starting to play you need to set yourself up that you are going to lose now. And you'll still have fun. But if you only think about earning money, then you are doomed. You will lose, and not have fun. Therefore, no one can make a permanent source of income on this.

I had this in mind, but I think the thread is refering to gambling directly. Because setting up a gambling affiliation is now a business. And you have in mind that the possibility of losing out in the business is 0 using binomial distribution. Like you already stated it, the success rate is high. Other brands would come looking for you. It's not gambling, unless you use money generated from the gambling business to play games. Imagine if a person sells or resells gambling predictions and does not use money made from the business to stake games. Would he be considered a successful gambler? Even in the direct gambling aspect, people still achieve it depending on the ways they operate the activity. Especially the offline gamblers, consists of successful people who take it as a career. I mean they have nothing else doing. Maybe retired teachers or business men. I've read of a guy that quit his job to go into gambling as a career. And he succeeded. He made more profits. Had friends visit him in the hotel where he lives and as well gamble. But, he never had the joy of living a free life. Imagine gambling all day. Sleep, wake up to gamble. Such lifestyle isn't encouraged. It's better to have a break after 3-4 months of gambling. It'll be a better way to cut the year short. Then move in to stay with family and friends in the society. On a better clarification regarding the argument, croupiers or waitresses in a casino, who don't gambler. Would their career be seen as gambling? I think they is only one direction in gambling, staking games. The different directions attached, are businesses.

Maybe you can easily make money from sports betting if you have pretty good skills in that field, but basically it is still uncertain, naturally because after all this is gambling and there is no guarantee to always be able to win. But maybe by continuing to hone your skills in the field of sports maybe indirectly it will make your winning percentage much better. That's right, they should really be able to dig as deep information as possible and also continue to look for it from various possible references.

By always consistently training yourself in terms of skills in the field of sports then maybe then you can make this skill-based betting into your part-time job, but yes on the other hand do not let you leave your main job because it is more promising and that will guarantee you to survive. Don't take it too seriously either because there are still risks involved and just think of it as your activity that is quite fun and can fill your empty time.

Without a doubt money can be made from sports bets if you know what you are doing, however what it is required out of you in terms of skill keeps increasing, as in the past a person could rely on their knowledge of the game and their intuition to gain an edge, but now if you want to achieve the same effect you really need to dig as deep as you can into the stats in order to find a discrepancy on the odds which may allow you to make a good bet.

Is there really a career in gambling just like every other professional career that's not completely based on luck to be successful but rather on the individual's ability a d hardwork.

Paying attention to the lives of those we refer as the few individuals that have made a profession in gambling canceling or ruling out doubts against the idea of no career in gambling, we will discover that these men have a backup financial sources of income that they use in resuscitating their gambling activity in maintaining the way they gamble without which they won't be able to hold on the so-called profession stage.

To name a few of these individuals Roman Ibramovich and Drake etc, the former is an oil tycoon business man while the latter is a professional singer with endorsement deals and contracts that maintains the gambling profession they stage to the public. Hence, a total dependency on gambling as a successful career to chase is not only relative low but impossible to achieve.

Well I just hope that from what you say, you always have enough money that you can give to your sister so she can get ahead with her studies, in fact I consider that working hard, and if you are in a country that is somewhat developed but things are different, because it is difficult for you to be working hard to live in a country where your income is not enough for you at all, but that you always have plenty of money for yourself and your family in general, it is very important what you do. You say, because you have something to share and give as an example here in the forum, this can be very significant because obviously the things you do in the game you know very well that you cannot overdo it, that you always have to be very controlled with the game you play. you do and obviously this will have a lot of repercussions on the People you love and who are in your care, that is why it is impossible for you to fall into addiction, because your Obligations do not allow it and will never allow it, it does not matter that you are not married yet , but you already have the effect of responsibility.

Now, with this story we must also assume it as a teaching that self-control can be linked to good responsibility and what makes us move forward, we as humans will always have an impulse, those of us who have children, family, because the incentive is enough. that we have to get ahead, but for those who are still single, they do not have children or obligations, because the idea is not that they go crazy in a casino, they have to have self-control so that they can generate better Options for having a better future, no There is another, and only the best that can be done, we should never give up if we see that we are falling into addiction, there is always something that can make us move forward and make us think that everything has an effort, that everything has a purpose teaching, and the more we fall into things we shouldn't, the harder it is because we waste time to Achieve Better things.

I will not completely agree with you in this line of base on personal experience. You require some level of knowledge to be successful in gambling. Whereas luck has its role, you need knowledge and discipline to remain in the game. You cannot just start something you do not know much. To be successful let's say in sports betting, you have to know the stats to be able to make yours picks. Relying on luck can earn you few winnings but it is not sustainable.

In thus era of information,  people can actually make a career in gambling. It is possible even when there are few records which are not enough to draw a conclusion on this.

You are right that gambling is based on luck but there is analysis that will be needed in gambling so that you can find the team or player who can win so that it also helps us win. But there is someone who has had a career in gambling. It's just that they don't tell many people because maybe they know the dangers and impacts of using gambling as a career. And they don't want to see that more people will become addicted to gambling so they choose to hide their gambling activities. Winning the jackpot is very difficult and not many can get it and only really lucky people can get the jackpot.

As a casino player, it's nearly impossible to succeed without a strong network for cheating.

However, as a casino owner, the odds are decidedly in your favor. Historically, it's the players who most frequently go bankrupt, while casinos rake in profits every day. In the realm of slot machines, casinos maintain complete control over the mechanisms employed in their devices. In table games, casino proprietors can employ individuals to shuffle cards and generate revenue from players through tips or fees.

The gambling industry consistently proves lucrative for platform providers, so reconsider your ambitions if your goal is to become a player. It might be wiser to contemplate how to become a casino owner, whether in the online or offline realm.

Yes, you can make a career by becoming a professional gambler, although the only games that you can really make a career out of is the games poker and blackjack I believe because those are the only games that takes skill unlike other games in the casino where the house edge are mostly favorable towards the house. To cite some examples of professional gamblers, Phil Ivey plays blackjack, baccarat and poker another player I can think of is Daniel Negreneau, pretty good mf at reading the exact cards you've got, also the students from the movie 21, I think they count as professional gamblers because they're math whizzes that do expert and subtle card counting. Another professional gambler that I can think of is probably that Bryan Cranston movie where they buy a lot of lottery tickets and they put in all the possible combination and soloing all the winnings.

The answer to your question is obviously no, we shouldn't believe everything that is being said or claimed online. But I am not really concerned that much about people who are in their late 20s or 30, I am more concerned about much younger people who are sometimes teenagers or maybe around 20 and who have much less experience dealing with online sources and also the effects of advertisements that bombard their brains with false claims. I really have no problems with gambling platforms and I use them myself, but I think it takes people some time to collect their own experiences to gain an understanding of the online world. When you are dealing with kids these days you can quickly see what kind of picture they have about the world because of the influence of the big social media platforms. If their brain is already programmed as if trustworthy people should be trusted and these people claim to have built a career based on gambling, it does something to them.

Gambling is completely based on luck. Those who came to build their future careers around this game have ruined their careers. To my knowledge no one has ever made a career out of gambling. One in a hundred or  million has made a career out of winning the jackpot.  But winning the jackpot is the ultimate luck.  And winning this fortune usually does not happen to everyone. Moreover, to my knowledge no one has ever made a career out of this gambling platform.

Maybe the person who want to build a career in gambling can go in a different direction rather than getting involve in direct gambling I mean using money to gamble. Let me say for example I developed passion for gamble industry and I want to make a living out of it instead of going to gamble with the little money that I have I will make out way to partner with those gambling companies be their affiliate and open up branches in areas where it will be closer to the people and at the end of the day I will get paid and if I get much more recognized by my service others from other companies can hire me base on the quality service that I render, from their contract deals is up for me and that’s how one’s career can start growing to the next level and earnings will also increase

Yeah, you are right.

In general, when you hear someone boasting about making money in gambling games consistently, be aware of what they will try to sell to you.

It might be a "system", or maybe just your attention is being monetized with ads, or something similar.

In reality, the odds are against the gambler, so it is virtually impossible to consistently win against the casino.

There may be some people who make this a career but this is only a handful of people who can do it on the other hand the game will be limited not gambling as in general because it will only refer to card games so this becomes limited.
There is nothing wrong if you want to be like that but you need to realise that in the end this is something full of risk and if I am told to choose I personally will not take that path even though I am a gambler because in the end I realise that I am not that smart to make gambling a career and prefer to think of gambling as just a game and burn my money in this game as a form of entertainment.

How can one make a successful career in gambling when it is a game of chances like it's under probability that you may or may not win. How can you know what you're doing when you ain't the one that have the events sometimes predictions are made through previous performances then how will you know that a particular event will keep on winning all the time which is not possible because if it is possible everyone will actually become winners and the platform might shutdown due to severe winnings

This also talks about trust, should we act blindly in believing on everything we see or hear online to be true even though there are no evidence to proof them, gambling is not a career itself for gamblers except the gambling platforms who has taken this as a business or an establishement for them to serve others and earn, gamblers can come up with fake claims that they have won big, influencers can also perform their own in convincing people about the casino they are working for, in short, everyone can do as he likes just to get what he wants.

And this is what makes it so attractive to disseminate stories of success where allegedly people have managed to build entire careers based on gambling due to reading books, taking lessons, watching "educational" videos on how to gamble and so on and so forth. There is a huge incentive for the gambling industry to spread the message that losing is the players' fault as this preserves the players' dream of still having a chance to build this mysterious career path for themselves and that it is only a question of effort and not luck. It is a favorable narrative for the industry.

But if people looked at what they did to achieve such success, people wouldn't be able to do it, at least not many could because many of them would fail because of their ego. To have a career in gambling is not easy and one must have better self-control than other people to achieve such success. People can indeed have or achieve that success, but they should think about what they have to have and learn from the start to achieve it. It's not easy and takes time, so they must practice it continuously until they succeed.

Kerry Packer made their money in other areas, not by gambling himself.

And no, not many people have improved their lives though gambling, it is actually quite the opposite. Very few people around the world have made money gambling. It's an exception, not the rule.

The math tells you that, because the odds are against the gambler.
