I guess focusing in sports betting is just the right thing to do, at least you can just stay at home, study the games and analyze it, very fit for the current set up under the covid-19 pandemic.

I would add playing poker to that; playing and, of course, studying how the best current pros are doing it. I'm watching channels like World Poker Tour, partypokerTV and PokerStars on a regular basis, and it works for me. It's really entertaining to learn something from the best, and then apply it in practice. But the keyword is "entertaining" here. I'm not planning to make my living from playing poker. Although I consider poker the most skill based game around, there's still too much luck involved to rely on it as a source of income.

It really depends on how you treat gambling or a certain game, if you don't like to venture on a higher risk, then treating it as an entertainment is more than enough to enjoy and be thrilled in gambling. Poker, yes it's a skilled based games but I think sports betting is easier.

I feel that I don't have good gambling skills, making gambling as entertainment is more than enough. I also agree with you that sports
betting is indeed easier than poker games, where Poker does require skill to win. Therefore, currently in a pandemic situation and I'm doing
many activities at home, it is most suitable for me to focus on sports betting. Besides being able to entertain, I can get additional income
if I'm lucky that the betting results are correct.

I think you can convert the views from the poker world to the overall market of gambling and betting. In my opinion it's just a different type of sports like football or basketball. There are millions of people playing it, but only a small number of lucky few who can actually make a living of it. For example there is almost in every city in my country a football team, but only the largest cities can afford a full time professional player team. So to make it big in gambling and do so over a long period of time you probably need to be very lucky.

I don't understand how anyone can live out of gambling

You can use search engines to look for those people that have made it through gambling. A lot of lives were made out of it and professional people used it as a source of income.
That is why they're called professional gamblers.

And the beautiful thing that has happened to most of these professional gamblers is: almost all of them went bankrupt at the end of their lives. Some of us just love reading some part of stories than read the tale end of such stories, even in my dear country many of them i knew went down their lives to bankrupt and end up to commit suicide.

Can you imagine how many gamblers have won and lost money throughout history? We’re not just talking about hundreds or even thousands of people. Hundreds of millions of people, probably even billions, have gambled something to try to win.
Almost all of these gamblers have failed. With so many to choose from, making a list of the 10 most successful gamblers in history might sound like a herculean task.
Here it is

Professional gamblers can only be classified into those strategic based type of games and it can be quite seen but mostly we do saw wrecked people due to too much gambling.
There are people whom do able to withstand the risk and able to make profits and still playing nor depending on it on daily basis or to their living.Its not a suggestible thing
for you to make gambling as a main source because instead of making money you will lose instead..It will take sufficient or long time for you to grasp the level of being
profitable in constant basis even lots do see that it is nearly impossible to happen specially in gambling.

People will not see how big their chance to win in the gambling games and they still force themselves to try more. Sooner or later, they will wreck their lives, and if they do not stop playing gambling, they will not survive and get out of the gambling. Maybe those people need to realize that if they can win on the games, they must stop trying to continue or thinking to earn more from gambling before it is too late to realize. If they can do that, they do not have to be a pro gambler because they can make money from gambling without risking too much money and get lost too much money.

I think although you have professional label with your gambling there are not guarantee always win when begin gambling, there are only broker could take much profit from gambling game and we always loss when beginning gambling. Should have one way for betting waiting when best time give us lucky because gambling is the way to know lucky or not to get win. Maybe when have chance with lucky we can begin gambling and try with higher amount but if not never wanna try.

Professionals also lose.

That doesn't mean that you are professional, you will not lose. There are a lot of gambling professionals that earned a lot of money from gambling but also lost a lot of money from it. A gambler may close the number of their wins to their losses but I don't think there is a professional that is just straight-up "money-well", right? We are talking about gambling here and if this is your profession you should know it is not a consistent profit.

Pandemic leads to closure of jobs and why not hunt jobs online and not gambling because you think that gambling can't assure you daily profits but jobs can and there's no way to be unbeatable in gambling

It's possible but tough to succeed. There are people who managed to use this venue of activities to live a life, people who dedicate their time in quest of right patterns and skills to win over other gamblers / house if possible.

It's undeniable that this people are existing, some might quitely playing and enjoying while some tries to exposed their life in hope that
someone will be attract and seek for their help.

From this point of view, tipters and so called experts are also getting decent money for selling their picks to those desperate gamblers.

Its not the same as being a professional. For good measure, there are some profession where ppl work their ass off on the job for months on end without being able to find success, but, they're still professionals at what they do. So, getting money or success from an event or action is not what makes it a profession.
For that activity to qualify as a profession it must fulfil some generally accepted principles. Not just money

it does happen and i believe those who are into sports betting are more likely to have this kind of lifestyle. if you breath the sports that you are into, the chance of winning is really high. there are even a lot of articles tackling how to make living with sportsbetting. you can easily search that in google. but when it comes to classic games such as dice, keno, roulette, slots. the chance of losing is high as it is based on luck. so you can never make a living out of these games. or better yet, once you got the jackpot from playing on these games, better get out and look for stable business or job.

You can do it in skilled based type of games, but not on luck based games, like the games you stated. Making a living in sports betting or in poker, those are the games I heard only possible to do, or in black jack if you are good in card counting which is prohibited in most casinos.

I guess focusing in sports betting is just the right thing to do, at least you can just stay at home, study the games and analyze it, very fit for the current set up under the covid-19 pandemic.

You can easily find people who are an expert on google and other search engines but just as he said, what he don't understand is how anyone can live out of gambling due to the potential returns are very uncertain. Yes, there are a lot out there who are a professional gamblers and are currently rich and millionaires but I doubt they maintain their assets thru gambling only. Most professional gamblers have businesses and have their way to earn their money that they can gamble of without potentially being bankrupt.
Yes, there are very rare instance where a professional gambler made gambling as their source of income but most ended up bankrupt in the long run as they don't have asset to fall from or even bet on those assets as their last resort to gamble on.

You wouldnt know but somehow we can presume on things that majority of gamblers do really end up on getting wrecked but to those whom do able to sustain or make profits
then you wouldnt know if they some some business already or doesnt have thats why presumpting that majority of them get wrecked then its a valid and obvious point
but there are indeed who do really make money not on constant but do end up profitable in the end of the day.Sounds impossible but it can really happen.

There are really people that gambling is their profession. They are not just ordinary gamblers, they have the proper discipline and mindset when they are having a losing streaks in gambling. They are not just someone who is addicted into gambling, they are wealthy enough to treat gambling as a career.

Yeah, some people consider gambling as their profession because that is their source of income but you know what gambling is not. profession so you cannot tell it in that way, those who live in gambling are those who already master the gambling, it is hard only to rely on your income in gambling because that is risky, there is no assurance that you can win on it. Those gamblers who can call gambler addicts are those who cannot control themselves while gambling.

Poker is a sporting activity just like any other! Once skill, training and discipline is involved, then, its no longer a gamble.

Gambling, most often than not, depends largely on luck, and no amount of prior experience can change that. So, that a gambler got luck after many tries to win a hand, and he goes on to make other telling investments that continuously put food on his table doesn't make him a professional at gambling

Playing poker need to have good strategy if you want to win for long term. It needs to have skills and long experience to win continuesly it is not the same as other gambling games which is pure luck .in poker you need to have good experience in playing it many times and use what you have learned to beat others players .

It is not the same in other games that only base in pure luck.

Quote from: ?? on ??

For me, I don't need to touch my bank balance, can't risk it in gambling, what I make online is what I gamble and though winning is not easy, I can still survive. Who knows one day I'll be making money from gambling, quit my job and focus on being a professional gambler, everything is possible, unfortunately I have to admit that chances is very slim for me.

I hope you are not serious with it, quit your job and become a professional gambler sounds like unwise decision imo. Even if you want to be professional gambler, you do not need to quit your job unless you want to gamble 24/7 (I doubt someone will do it). If you can do both by good time management, it will give you a better result.

I'm serious, but I would not do that if I'm not certain yet that I can trust my skills to be profitable in sports betting. As a gambler, it's our ultimate dream to make money in gambling and if we feel we have the skills, why not try to make our journey?

It's not impossible to live out of gambling where we get our income from there, although it may be a rough path. Of course, we do dream of earning money in gambling that's why we gamble in the first place. But being a professional gambler will probably require a lot of experience and knowledge since you also need to be good with your funds, not only in games. Also, even if we dream of such a thing, being a professional gambler is not for everyone. Even me, I can't imagine myself with no job and just gambling to live.

I think it's quite hard if you work on gambling and use this as a source of income well still possible because some people are skilled most likely in card games ( most commonly there is a higher chance to win in card games than slots base on my experience ). Due to pandemic most of the casino today is closed so we need to adjust and try to work on online gambling.

It's very possible to live in gambling but there is no assurance to win or lose every day.

If you want to live in gambling for sure you need to gain more experience and develop yourself to become unbeatable.

I haven't seen a pro slot player or pro ( insert game , that are non card ) player but whenever I hear a pro gambler his games are mostly poker or bacarat .

That's true that the winning chance on card games are high because you can learn the way card moves and it is not being controlled by a gambling site owner .

Pandemic leads to closure of jobs and why not hunt jobs online and not gambling because you think that gambling can't assure you daily profits but jobs can and there's no way to be unbeatable in gambling
