Many people have become so rich through the gambling business, but these aren't the gamblers themselves, these are those who established a casino or start a casino business, only a very limited number of gamblers became lucky and got rich out of gambling, and this shows that majority of gamblers always end up losing their bets, this is why we need to be careful with gambling, if you manage to believe that gambling is the only way you can make it in life you are already finished.
The number of gamblers who have managed to get rich from gambling is not many, while the number of gamblers who have lost from gambling is very large. But that doesn't make those who lose stop playing gambling and instead, some of them continue to play gambling and still hope to win a lot of money from gambling. And yes, most gamblers lose their money through gambling, which we should avoid because it can make us very sorry later. Never use gambling as a place to make money but use gambling as a means to have fun and if you get it, stop immediately. Otherwise, we will lose a lot of money.

If you are someone like this, stay away from gambling.
This quote makes sense when you're starting out to gamble for the first time, and when you experienced so many losses, but when you're enjoying it and you're totally hooked this quote will not matter and has no relevance,
There are many guides many instructions and many pieces of advice but gambling has emotions attached to it, we cannot make sound logic when we are hooked on gambling.
Gamblers become unreasonable, they even commit a crime and are dishonest so they can continue to play, gambling responsibly will only matter when we developed strong character.

Many people has with that mindset, they all believe that through gambling they will going to have a lot of money. If we can observe most people who gamble are old and rich people, they are just having fun playing and didn't expect to earn a lot. People who believe that gambling can be the answer they are wrong, they will soon fall into debt and addiction. We should manage our emotion as well not only the money we are using.

The main difference between them and gamblers is that they don't take any risk trying to predict who's going to win a certain game (well, mostly) as gamblers place bets on both sides and they take a "cut" from the bets.
A gambler who risks $1000 would win $900 for instance on an under/over bet, so 10% of his balance is automatically going to the bookmaker, even if he/she wins the bet, so a pure math shows if you do that many times you would end up losing.
But still, it hasn't bothered or affected so many people from gambling, they know they are going to lose and yet they "love" it...

That is really the problem with people; they just tested that water and thought it was not that deep, which is why they decided to swim it out and got drowned as it was very deep. They only consider what they accomplished in a single day, which does not imply that you will win on a daily basis. For sure, they will learn the hardest way by losing a lot of money.
100% well said. Seconded.
Everything that's too much is true to be bad. That's why gambling needs to be done seriously by someone who is engaged in it. There are just people who won in one day and then the next day decides to make a living out of gambling like they could win everyday. In reality, we don't profit everyday.

I laugh when someone claims they can make a living from gambling.They may only win once or twice and conclude that gambling is easy to win and can be used as a job and I wonder what they really think so they can decide to make a living from gambling.
Gambling is an activity that does not have certainty or has a big risk of actually losing a lot of money, so how can a gambler make gambling his job.
Crazy assumptions that only stupid gamblers like this have must be removed so that there are no misunderstandings from new gamblers so that new gamblers do not follow what they are doing.
Gambling in general is just for fun or a sort of entertainment, we can't take this seriously and make a living from it otherwise, we fall into addiction.
So hilarious to read such claim because I don't think gambler a exact person playing on a casino can earn passive income by continuous winning on a casino. They might win once or twice then conclude that its really possible to win always her, but in reality its not always like thay since not everyday you are luck to win each game you played.
But we have seen few users in this forum asking someone to bet behalf of them or they're complaining because the casino limit their bet, I don't think if a gambler keep losing on the casino, his account will get limit. A casino will limit someone account when the gambler mostly win and take their money.But still hard for me if there's a gambler make a living from gambling, but we know they're can beat the house.

Most of newbies which didn't try more bigger risk have this expectation but for sure one of this days they find out that its so hard to win consecutively on gambling.
Gambling is not the solution when one is in need of money, that's not a smart plan, because gambling itself is all about luck.
If you have $10,000 available in your bank account and you bet on Holloway in the MMA to win (1.58) and bank in $5800 - not because you desparately need that $5800 but simply because your analysis shows it's a bet worth taking (especially "ignoring" that impressive record Allen had against him) - then it could be a smart plan.
Yes, likely someone in debt won't be in that position anyway to bet like this, but how do you define that "need of money"?
Everyone needs money, for bills, holidays, or just for fun - it's all about how you're planning it, personally had some crazy losses but didn't chase them - not chasing is the best thing you can do when you gamble, but it could take years or more to "master" that feeling and understand that once you had a loss that money is gone - the question is - how does the person losing money feel - can he really avoid chasing and take the loss as it is and move on?
Gambling normally builds its massive profits from chasers, problem gamblers, they prefer "these" customers over that $5 bettor who brings more noise than profits - just like a shop would prefer a customer that comes in, selects the product, buys it and not a lady that comes in, asking 1000 questions and might not buy anything in the end.
Gambling responsibly is a few words but hard to do for gamblers who build dreams in gambling and put their hopes in gambling hoping to get big wins,
We have to look at the cause of people now relying on gambling to take care of families and life. The reason is not far fetched and that is because there is dwindling employment . Time has passed when people only gambled for fun , now the whole purpose is to double what money they have staked with. We know the reality about gambling is that it is advantaged for the house edge and so very often will a gambler lose his stake and continually dashing the hope of break through in gambling.
Relying on gambling to feed loved one and Carter for personal and extended need isn't a bad idea, if you're able to prioritize and probably play your card efficiently then definitely you can get enough funds as required.

I'm of the view that if we had employment then many people won't build hope in gambling. It is because of unemployment that populated casinos, gambling houses because they have patronage.
Anxiety and Depression
This is a more serious negative effect of gambling because it can lead a loser to take their life.
Gambling responsibly is a few words but hard to do for gamblers who build dreams in gambling and put their hopes in gambling hoping to get big wins, as said in this thread.
Especially for gambling addicts who find it difficult to gamble responsibly as a whole, they always chase defeat and expect big wins to cover the losses they have incurred while gambling.
There are some gamblers who also consider gambling as a fixed income for daily income so they think of gambling as working to double money. This wrong step in the gambler's mindset can end up making the gambler himself chase defeat and become a gambling addict.
But nevertheless for novice gamblers it is very good to learn to always commit to responsibility in their own betting.

That is just a slang,a standard slogan which most gambling companies are forced by almost all the governments where they have their license from to put it in their website.In UK for example in every betfair,bet365,pinnacle and william hill to name a few bookmakers,their ads on TV end exactly with this slogan,gamble responsibly.
There is a problem though because as much as you can force this slogan all the people are different from each other and all the people have different characters so it does not work,people who fall to addiction need real professional help and not advises which anyone of us that has a lot of experience in gambling and has been a gamble for many years without signs of addiction can give.A lot more should be done in such regard although I like the advises here in general.

People start gambling when they are in need of money. Sometimes they achieve it, sometimes they don’t. After getting the sufficient profits, some continue to gamble, as at that time they are addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is very harmful I must say. People don’t care about the emotions, and in order to win a particular game, then can gamble anything and everything till they become broke. They are affected less, the ones who are affected by these actions are their family members. Still without listening to them, an addicted gambler crosses all paths and hence becomes completely bankrupt. It’s always advised to gamble in limit and responsibly. At least think about your family.
Gambling is not the solution when one is in need of money, that's not a smart plan, because gambling itself is all about luck.You are looking for money and gambling is the next thing that come to your mind? You will still need money to even play on any gambling platform.
While searching for money, there is a higher chance of losing your initial deposit, which could worsen your situation. If one truly needs money, gambling should be the last thing to consider.
If it's not completely free, look for better options, find a job, or do something else that doesn't rely on your luck.

I think the saying, "gamble responsibly" has become a chant that are being repeated over and over again, just so that people can continue doing it, without feeling guilty about the consequences. 
There should be some sort of preventative action being taken to screen gamblers that might be more prone to get addictive to gambling. Also, gambling addiction does not happen over night... it is usually a long-term bad habit.... so casinos should implement restrictions to limit gambling times for people who are gambling for too long periods and also people who make reckless bets.

I understand the need for people who know that they cannot control themselves well to stay away from gambling because some gamblers start as responsible before becoming irresponsible after some time, but if you are not like that and you are already a gambler, as much as there are negative sides to gambling, gambling has some positive side too that we often neglect to emphasize. Since we are are discussing gambling in general and some of the negative sides have been highlighted, it is fair that we also bring in some positive aspects of being a gambler and gambling that have been discussed before. Below are some positive characteristics of gamblers.
A positive evaluation of gambling.
PS: THIS IS NOT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GAMBLE
Quote
-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.
-Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on; Dwelling on the past and the possibility of "what could have been" is really not healthy and it can weigh you down and distract you from "what can be". Though not so easy, gamblers have developed this ability to easily look ahead from the "near win" of yesterday, to try again today.
-Positive mentality (that is always believing that everyday we gamble, it may just be our lucky day for the big win).
- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; Always trying regardless of previous results.

there are mate some people become even richer because of gambling but we can only count them comparing to losers.
There are lots of people who have become rich from gambling, a lot - these are actually the ones running gambling websites... you can meet lots of them in conferences/conventions like ICE in London, iGB and more.
If you're looking for gamblers who got rich from placing bets? Maybe touts, tipsters, affiliates - and only then people "like" Billy Walters who had to be in jail for trading using insider information that wasn't available to the public - a normal "punter" or "bettor" or however you call it would have extremely hard times getting rich from gambling - you could however make it a side hustle if you only apply proper strategies, taking advantage of promotions like this:
https://gamblingfreebies.com/2023/04/16/how-to-make-2000-or-more-risk-free/
This is where the edge is on your side and that's why you can make some profits from it, but it's not going to change your life forever, that's for sure - only a lottery ticket can do that and the chances of winning the lottery are well known to be next to none.
