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 am sure that some people can live through gambling, and with their experience, they can win the games and get the money. Perhaps, they have the experience, skills, and luck to have the chance to win. But if other people trying to follow their steps, that will not easy as they need to have those things, but they will have a chance to lose their money. If people tell you that he can help you become a pro gambler and teach you and share his knowledge, you better not 100% believe because his knowledge will be different from else, and you will hard to apply his lesson.
That's a nice observation. Imo, it's almost impossible to learn from the successful pros how to gamble, because the pros themselves don't how to win constantly. They all have their ups and downs, and that's why the "leader-board", so to speak, is filled with new names on a regular basis, while the former leaders are no longer there.
In short, I think it's extremely risky, and overall not advisable to choose gambling as your profession.

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?
I admire that kind of attitude, honestly, only few people really think they can make money from gambling "consistently", most of them think they can only win with luck, and yet they are still very aggressive with what they are doing, reason why they loss serious money.
If you are serious with getting in gambling as a job, you should carefully plan everything, start with proving to yourself first if you are be profitable or not, and be honest so you'll know your real score.

I don't understand how anyone can live out of gambling, as the potential returns are very uncertain and there is a real chance of getting losses. Personally I haven't came across anyone in my friend circle, who considers gambling as a profession. I don't have anything against gambling (as I am a gambler myself), but it is impossible to make a living out of it.
For us as ordinary people and do not have certain skills it may sound absurd to make gambling a profession. But there are some people who do have
expertise in gambling, who have found ways to win over and over again. Finally these people make gambling for a living, usually people who have good
math skills can find a method to beat casinos.

I've came across an article online written by a gambler whom was pointing out to himself as a professional gambler/bettor and it is clearly possible to be like him if you accept to take the risk. I'm not a gambler, even if i'm sometimes doing it for fun and not spending these profits on real life things, i might just buy gift cards with them or something like that but people in Las vegas for example made millions out of poker, football and dice betting which includes a huge risk pourcentage.
During this year had being gambling larger than before beacuse in lockdown where you cannot move out so this was an entertaining resort left with . So overall when I see my stats goes in a negative side only and in previous years too when gambled was in loss. It really needs courage to do this full time and some good bank balance which can help you to pay bills even if you do not make money . Requires a lot of risk and all the luck to make it happen in gambling and survive just on it .

They're called professionals because they have a lot of experience in gambling that can make them profit and live by it. This is their profession because they're very skilled and very tactical in different gambling games. Professional gamblers are not very easy to deal with it because they're full of experience and can outplay you anytime by using even a psychological act that will confuse the opponent. Gambling addicts are different from professional gamblers, there are some points that they're also addicts but defeats and such are nothing to them as they experience it already for how many times.
Those professional can really make money from gambling, and they can live out from gambling. The pro gambler will have a chance to play psychological with the other gamblers who do not have much gambling experience, and they should admit that the pro gamblers can take their money easily. Even if the pro gambler loses the money, their chance to get the money back will be bigger than the regular gambler or addicted person to gambling.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.

Accepting the risk and taking more time to fulfill your desire, there's always a good way if you seek more deeper.
Most of those who failed are the one who wanted to take the shortcut ending up losing more instead of winning.
I'm not a gambler, even if i'm sometimes doing it for fun and not spending these profits on real life things,
Better not to engage if you are doing it only to have some fun, money can be use to other stuff if you've got some luck to win.
I might just buy gift cards with them or something like that but people in Las vegas for example made millions out of poker, football and dice betting which includes a huge risk pourcentage.
They are well aware on what they've doing that's why it's okay with them to spend those amount of money to stake with gambling.

But it is possible to live through gambling, there are people who somehow built an experience in different gambling games, with the experience they have, they can try to offer some tips and tricks with a subscription in order for others to learn from their tips. They can also apply these learnings to increase their chance of winning such as applying some betting strategies. Going back, gambling as a profession will just be possible not for the gambler to play 100% but to teach and share his knowledge and make profits from it.

He can be your motivator and his achievements might give inspiration to others, even you. But if you are afraid to take the risk and follow what he does, no, it won't make it possible at your ends, it will just a dream of becoming like him in the future. Successful gamblers have their own goal, they are not just having fun but they are forcing themselves to reach their target just like in business (that is also gambling). And it is because you can't afford to challenge yourself into taking high-risk, you can't also expect that you can win those millions in the gambling.

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. December 31, 2020, 02:37:39 PM

Many people gamble as a means of entertainment and many as a profession but you can never benefit from gambling if you do not know the gaming strategy no matter how you play. In addition to your skills you need to analyze the betting sites in the market. Making money here is not a job just play and have fun and rest. In other words income from playing. In the case of any trader the same business may leave him bored year after year but in the casino environment he can get a taste of innovation in a variety of games from day to day.

Maybe only professional poker players can make some living out of gambling while the majority of common gamblers will always lose money on the long run. How can somebody make a profession out of that?
On the other side, one could think of working for a casino: that might work
Many had suffered losses while only a few make a win, that is the reality in gambling. Some make gambling as their living because they know themselves that they certainly make it. I ain't do it of course if I only lose in gambling, why I should have to stay neither?On the other side, one could think of working for a casino: that might work
I'm not going to wonder why some people make this gambling as their source of income is probably they are good at gambling. Only a lucky person can have this and the majority don't have it. And even I have those skills and luck, I don't still have to rely on luck but to find security and passive income out from gambling.
Many believe that in poker there are simply winners and losers in strategy. The winners tend to get the money of the losers and continue playing in the same joint until they have beaten all the small fishes and no new poker players will join and start playing. Once the small fishes are gone, then the winners will then play against each other and will try to outwit each other, that eventually only a few will come out as winners. The professional gambler is really the one who wins and at the same time able to handle money so well that they can live even if the lose most of their money.

Based on my experience, I know one of my chinese uncle are living as a gambler day and night that most of his source of income are from gambling in a real casino. But later on, my uncle got bankrupt that he had to sell his car to pay his debts in the casino. This gives me a lesson that it is possible for you to earn a considerable amount of profit in gambling and use it for your daily needs, but not in the long term because it is impossible for you to have steady winnings everyday.

I like this post from this article coming from a former pro poker player
Quote
3) Determine how you’re going to structure your gaming (note: NOT gambling) finances. It’s your employment now, and much like if you owned a small business, you should be able to draw a salary from it but you should NOT just have all of your home/work finances co-mingled. You cannot “have a bad week” and dip into your funds for mortgage/rent, food, car payment, childcare, etc.
If you are going to treat it as work you should first control your emotion, and you must know how to segregate personal or family funds to your gambling funds, this is for me hard to do and you cannot become a good gambler or make gambling your work if you do not have control in managing your finances.

I don't think that it will be easy to manage emotion on gambling as we know that win and loss can make someone lose his emotion and spend more money to gamble. If someone is losing his emotion, he may be using his family funds because that is what he can do to recover his losses. It is hard to use gambling as work, but I guess out there, some people can use gambling as their profession, and they really make money from gambling. We need to realize how we must treat gambling as entertainment and not using gambling as work.
But it is possible to live through gambling, there are people who somehow built an experience in different gambling games, with the experience they have, they can try to offer some tips and tricks with a subscription in order for others to learn from their tips. They can also apply these learnings to increase their chance of winning such as applying some betting strategies. Going back, gambling as a profession will just be possible not for the gambler to play 100% but to teach and share his knowledge and make profits from it.
