Topic: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job - page 3. (Read 2224 times)

Yes, that's right because not making gambling a profession or a full-time job is already risky especially if you make gambling a full-time job, then it will be very risky and the risk is loss   with the chances of losing greater than the chances of winning that makes them able to spend a lot of money if they do gambling as a full-time job. Also with them already spending a lot of money but it does not guarantee they can get a big win that can be profitable  victory in gambling does exist but it is very difficult to happen especially with big wins.

If you make gambling as a source of income, then it is the same as lighting a fire on a tower,  it is very unlikely to be stable. It is true that you say gambling should be enjoyed, because many who have suffered huge losses in gambling are because they respond to gambling wrongly, also with their principles of gambling also push themselves into a cycle of addiction or large amounts of losses.

you can find mostly this type of gamblers in sportsbetting and poker or blackjack. because if the gambler will dedicate his time to those luck-based games in a casino, i don't think they can get out alive or should i say, in the positive profit of their bankroll. just admit the fact that when you are in classic games such as dice, hi-lo, roulette, the probability of winning is slim. you may hit some winnings but need to stop while you are still in positive. otherwise, if you continue, your bankroll will be screwed.

but if you happen to look out for successful gamblers over the net, that has been discussed here already quite a lot of times. you will find out that a lot of them are sportsbettors and not on the classic games. because the more years you are spending on sportsbetting and the more familiar you are, the better chance of winning. however, still not a guarantee that you will win every bet. but you are giving yourself a better chance over luck-based games

Yeah  and not just the money but more with your time, once you already suffering with that kind of treatment inside gambling,  you'll not be able to keep the balance,  it's always better to keep it as source of entertainment unless you're not betting or your not using your money,some sort of affiliate marketing that will allow you to earn decent compensation from any gambling site that will allow you to advertise or to use their referrals.

Outside from that, it's a big risk trying to compete with the house, though maybe there are some who can achieve it but not too many will be successful as gambling is a business and not a charity.

The gambling can be used as the full time job,when you had updated your skills to make money.Because the gamblers should have enough money to do the gambling for the longer term,the money and the skills are the two different things to do make some huge money from the gambling site.The gamblers who had loss the big money should not get motivated in the negative way,because the gambling site allow the gamblers to make money if they had good skills in the gambling site.


The gambling was the risky one,but the same risk help to multiple your betting in the gambling site.The gamblers who do the random betting always loss their money,but after the loss some gamblers do the random betting.The gamblers should avoid of random betting in the gambling site.

Yeah for me relying on gambling for a living is risky because you can't predict the outcomes and there's no guaranteed income. It's safer and smarter for most people to see gambling as a form of entertainment instead of depending on it for money. This way you can enjoy the fun without the stress of relying on it to pay your bills. It's a better idea to have a stable job or income source and treat gambling as a way to have some excitement on the side.

Those people who you are talking about are either professional gamblers at the mercy of their own luck or they already have a different source of income, so they can keep a facade about their professionalism in gambling, for whatever reason. To be an actual professional gambler must be one of the most stressing things I could imagine being and doing forma living, not having an idea whether one would be able to profit out their day of "work", always keeping a wager to one side so they can always continue to gamble, and keeping their balances in check so they won't go bankrupt as fast if something goes wrong...
It is better just to keep gambling as something which is done as a way to get amusement from time to time and do not think as much about the money one can make out of it. If gambling as as profitable and easy to do for a living as some people imply, casinos would have no money to build their resort and very expensive facilities full with luxury. It is just common sense, in my opinion.

I know some gamblers who are professional and take the gambling path as their carrier and gambling with discipline. Even I saw them losing big amount of money but as they have their own strategies, they also recover their money & even able to make more money afterwards. Honestly its true but I still don't know how they do such thing at all. But yeah, they only do such games which can be win by strategies and technics and they always games like slot machines which is uncertain. Well for me, i don't have any intention for become professional gambler cause gambling is uncertain thing, There's no assurance of income. Rather I would like to enjoy gambling and consider it as the source of entertainment

i can understand if a gambler is a professional poker player or a long-time sportsbettor. but if not, playing all day long with luck-based game won't assure in any way that you will go home as a winner. most of the time, you will go home as a loser and broke. so don't ever look at this as your main source of income, because it is not. if you are just a regular gambler playing classic games, high likely that you will go home as a loser if you won't stop chasing losses.


very few can make it out alive in long term gambling. as i said, you can see more on poker players and sportsbettors. otherwise, a lot are digging their own grave of debt. this is why as much as possible, better gamble if you only have spare funds and don't chase losses after losses.

I say you shouldn't not only are you going to subject yourself to a mindset that's built upon chasing wins instead of actually having fun, you're also going to inadvertently push yourself into revenge gambling and in turn, gambling addiction. I've seen many a players perceive and play and gamble as if their lives depended on it and it did eventually, since they don't have anything going for them anymore, and they basically subjected themselves into bigger monetary debt by wasting so much money trying to take their losses back, which mind you, never happened anyway.

Might as well take gambling as something that you only play on your spare time, or at least take it as if it's a pastime you play when you don't have anything else to play, don't make it a bigger deal than it has to be or it'll bite your ass back.

All of our focus from the start on just wanting to enjoy gambling as entertainment will be replaced by a focus on chasing money, which will be even more difficult to get. We will fail, and disappointment will arise, affecting our mood. Perhaps even our mood will be bad all day. So that's roughly what will happen if we want to make gambling a full-time profession so that we will only experience losses that will probably be bigger than in previous days. Moreover, if we don't have good self-control, it will only speed up our bankruptcy process due to gambling.

Yes, it is better to treat gambling as a place of fun so that we will not try to chase victory or even make it a profession. We must remember that we are only small gamblers with limited capital to gamble, so we don't need to force ourselves to continue.

No you can't, sure there are people out there that's making consistent money in gambling but they're at the lower percentage of the population so I don't think you can make a job out of it maybe this is one of what they call a dream job because it's a dream for many but not everyone can get it. And it shouldn't even be your thing that you strive to have when you're gambling, you need to know that you're there to have a good time and take your chance not bet your whole life on it.

We have that same opinion, it won't be enjoyable anymore once you start chasing for money, all your focus is on how to win and if you failed yourself dissapointment will lead you to a much aggressive approach and you will find yourself losing more, if you failed to realize it as soon as you experienced defeats, your chances of becoming too much attach to gambling can grow more.

Risking for something that may harm you financially and emotionally should be taken into to the account, better to treat gambling as venue to have some fun and nothing more.

I don't see any possibility of seeing the game as a professional activity, because it is something that is not stable, it depends entirely on luck and that is something that is not constant, we can have a day of very bad luck where we can lose absolutely everything, we play and we do everything against some of the great advantages that the casino offers for them too, where we are just facing them, even so, there are windows of opportunities where you can win and that is what you should take advantage of, I don't see any other option to get closer. things are better, of course this is what I think and what I can say is that they can make a difference in this order of things, but we must see things from the most optimistic perspective possible, but it is not a secure income, I cannot comparing gambling as if it were a job, there is no course at any university that teaches or teaches how to play efficiently to earn money. I think that if there were, it would be overcrowded and they would not have places available.

This causes many people to faithfully believe that the things are for profit all the time, and that is not the case, the casino is a means of adult entertainment, and I always say the word adult because it means that everyone who enters there is an adult and possibly responsible for their actions, where they are not allowed to do childish things where they do not have absolute responsibility for their actions, especially when money is involved, these are things that we must assume and repeat because things in the casino are like that, then Being able to have the best options to win in a casino is due to good luck, good management of the balance willing to lose and that people do not trust that casinos are only a means of secure income and even less see it as a point of professional view, in fact I would see trading more as a fact of a professional career, because it requires a lot of knowledge rather than a casino game, because it refers only to luck, then it would be something irresponsible.

Every one is entitled to their own opinion but to me gambling shouldn't be taken as a full time job be it that you make a lot of profit from gambling or not. It's really sad when I walk in to gambling hall and see some gamblers so devoted to gambling despite that they're losing more as some of them can stay in gambling shops all through the day without making any profit but instead they keep losing even if is someone that wins a lot but at least is good to also have a source of income then if you play gamble and win a lot it will just be an added advantage to you but it shouldn't be what you depend on all through your life.

It will not be able to provide us with a definite income because there is a possibility that we will experience losses that we will not know how much. We also won't be able to have fun like our initial goal of gambling because we are trying to chase wins from the gambling games we play. If we don't realize this, we will only experience more and more losses, so it can cost us all our money. There is no guarantee that we can win from gambling, so instead of trying it by gambling continuously, we should consider gambling as entertainment and only use a sufficient amount of money to gamble.

That way, we can enjoy gambling games while we are relaxing. We will not think about winning and losing and want to release tension after activities. We can also stop gambling once we feel like we have had enough.

The career should be a secure future where the career should be built around that. One's personal decision is the most important one behind building a career. Many people spend time gambling but they do not prioritize gambling behind career building.
It is possible to build a career in gambling when there are profits from gambling but no losses. But in every gamble there will be both profit and loss but to build a career there must be a guarantee of huge amount of income on gambling. It is not possible to guarantee a huge amount of income on gambling so no one would want to build a career on gambling.

Treating gambling as source of your income put a lot of pressure to you, instead of having fun you will be force to take a look of every possible ways to win, and since you are in gambling where guarantee is not a sure deal, the chance of losing is really high, though we cannot remove that fact where there are many people that still believing that they can.

And on that note, there are experienced gamblers who managed not just to enjoy but also to earn decently with their gambling activities.

Gambling requires money to deal with. If you don't have a source of income, how can you cover your purpose of turning gambling into a career? You have to risk your own money in gambling before expecting good money in return. Each of your actions was associated with risk.

To summarize, to make gambling a profession, you need to rely on your skills and use that as an advantage in gambling. Know where you're good at, sports, card games, and anything. Compete with others and test your skills. If in the long run, you were able to use that talent and skill of yours as an advantage then you can slowly start turning gambling into a career. You should have already had a good experience at that point.

If at some point, you focus on playing slots and other luck-based games, that can't be called a profession.

Yes, that is true because using gambling as a job will only cause problems for us. We will lose more money and it also doesn't guarantee we can make money. We have to be able to think clearly that this is a mistake that we don't need to make.

Everyone can gamble but they must understand that gambling is not a way to make money. We might be able to use our free time by gambling. And that's all we can do. Regarding victory, we can only wait for the moment for us to get that victory.

The important thing is that we must be able to control our money for gambling. And if there are people who still want to make gambling a job, that's up to them. They are the ones who will bear the risk of defeat and not us.

No, gambling isn't 50/50 games. Most of the games has house egde, this could vary from 0.5% or more, if the game has 1% house edge, it means the chance for you to win is only 49% while the casino has 51% chance to win, that's why the house is always win.

Not everyone can make money by trading, how about gambling? I don't believe people are making money by gambling
