Haven't meet one, but i have lot of friends who loves to gamble but turned out to have a miserable life in the end. What my perspective if you're living through gambling, i think everyday is living at the edge for you. That path maybe full of hardships and loss, i can't imagine how one can feed their family through that lifestyle.

Having gambling as our main source of income or considering it as a profession is really a risky choice and we might lose everything in just one wrong click. There's no guarantee of winning in gambling no matter how good you are at it. That kind of lifestyle couldn't make a person rich for life. It's still important that we'll still have a stable job and enough savings before we gamble.

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 Wink

Yes, I do believe there are group of professional gamblers that are good and are only focus on black jack game. They got certain numeric formulas that can outsmart the house of the blackjack game. I do not how they do it but one of them had a youtube channel and then showing how he earn in casino. If really is he saying the truth then yes it would be possible to live out in gambling. It is easy money though and that would be good.

Unfortunately this will not be easy for other people to do, even if you watch the YouTube channel that he has but I'm sure, you will not be able to do it exactly as those who make money only from blackjack. Therefore, making money only from gambling does exist but not all gamblers are able to do it because making money from gambling is something that is very risky if you don't have a strategy from experience so far.

A friend of mine is playing professional poker online. He spends a lot of time playing per day usually like 4-6 tables at the same. He says he is happy like this and makes some decent money. I don't know how much he actually makes but he has a nice apartment and a high end PC. But he only plays poker, he doesn't really like to play any other games like black jack or roulette.

He's an expert on it.

If he's focusing on it that means that he's really well off playing poker. He can make a decent living out of it. I think I've got some old friends, old by means a friend a long time ago but no longer communicating today that does the same.

There's really money on it that you can work but it's hard that they have to do it every day and if they do nothing within a single day, no income.

40+ pages of discussion and everyone agrees on one thing; there are some people who does it. But nobody really gets into detail of it.

Maybe because True gambler don't Love Drama ,and it's not their Forte to Post and tell Stories in which they don't benefits at all.

Maybe unless they will be offered a Book and payments to disclose everything they struggle and succeed silence will remain in their part.

There are two types of people who can make a profit from purely gambling, one of them is the people who gamble on pvp games, such as poker because in those games there is no guarantee you will lose, and if you are good at what you do that means you could profit from it for sure, depends on your talent levels.

Second type is the one who gambles against the house edge, but they gamble on twitch, or any other platform that allows such things, and they lose money in the end but they make more profit from the income of that instead. The one that is guaranteed to lose and can't make a living is the people who wager against house edge, because even if you win short term, you can't consistently make that profit forever.

Literally you have a Knowledge about gambling , These course is really hard to achieve but yet there are successful in those areas.

I don’t believe this apart from the Pokerstar series in Tv.I have seen many people claiming they make a living out of gambling but that was only a claim as after sometime their life turned south in a really bad way.Some even became homeless.I have yet to see an example of a normal person who makes a living from gambling.

The chance is slim to always win so I don't think someone will make this as normal job that can give them passive income. There is no way you will not lost even how good you are in gambling . It's only works in movie.
But in real life not even 1% of gamblers win in long run even how veterans you claim you are that's why other prefered to invest in house instead of being a players since they know how little the chance to win continuesly.

It is really true that the chance is very slim, though I don't know exactly the right percentage of our chances, but looking at how profitable casinos and bookies, that means they are winning from most of us, and if you belong to the successful gambler, you are lucky to have such skills.

We can always try our journey if we want to, but knowing the risk and our chance is the least requirement and we should understand it before taking a journey which is considered as a high risk.

The risk of the gamblers is so high if they are just a regular players in the casino but if they are creating a business and decide to be in the side of the house maybe the tables will shift since the advantage are unto them.

But honestly the one I see earning a living on gambling is the casino workers since they are earning a salary from the site and most provably they have nothing to lose since they are in good side Grin

(Just my opinion only).

If he's enjoying and he keeps taking the advantage then living with it is very possible, though it's really hard to take it as
profession as many failed and lead their activities in too much engagements and become addicted.

If he's focus and making he's way to take some decent amount of profits, he don't need to change-up or take part to other gambling as
it will mixed up with he's knowledge and a possible distractions to he's poker activities.

like the saying . "Easy to get, is Easy to forget" if you live your self in gambling then money for you is nothing ,because you will Fool your self telling that it can easily be win so lets spend more now.

This is Why gamblers mostly suffer the baddest in future ,because of this mentality .. So basically they are also the one who Experience the Luxury of Life and also end up the Poorest ;life can give.

Well, maybe we do not see the truth about people who can live out from gambling.
But I think some people from many countries can fill their daily needs from gambling, and they do not have any trouble to use gambling to make money.
But if other people want to try, they will feel difficult because gambling is not for them.
I also saw some people become homeless because of playing gambling and spend everything they have.
We need to remember that we can use gambling and not use gambling as a way of income sources.

Lucky that i have , there is a Client from last year that i met ,at first i thought He is a Businessman since He ordered some luxurious stuffs from our company so this what i thought of Him the whole process of the Client/Company agreement , Until I need to Send Him a formal paper for His company or even from His employer ,and this almost break me but also happy meeting Like him ,because he told me everything about Him and the way of living ,
He is a gambler for almost 3/4 of his life and a must say Lucky one ,though He admitted no 100% winning but assures me that there is more than 70% of winning in a living human ,and He's lucky to be one.

Gambling already becomes a profession in our time. See those top poker players? they are earning millions if not hundreds of thousands on every event not including the sponsorships and management they have. But still, even though there are people like them earning their living through gambling we must bear in mind that what worked for someone might not work for you.

That's what will happen if you don't have the proper discipline and you are not mentally capable of gambling meaning you cannot control and set aside your feelings when gambling. People like these will surely end up in a miserable life.

I see a lot of people living in those states where gambling is their main habit until now. They are living a miserable life and if they still play in that state, they won't have a chance to change their lives. Because when they playing in the morning, it won't stop until the afternoon and that's how their lives go every day. considering they are not earning enough for their families, it won't really matter to them they just continue to play.

I'm of the same mind as you. As long as it's gambling as a hobby, fine. If you can give yourself a cap to gamble, but in the meantime you've already stabilized your life through another business, then it's more than doable. But if it's just supporting yourself on that alone, like you said, I have a hard time seeing a family there.

If you treat gambling as a hobby, sooner or later, you can become addicted to gambling because we know if someone has a hobby, he will prioritize his hobby as the primary thing. He will not think about the other thing. But if you can use gambling as something to enjoy your free time, and you always control yourself, you don't have to worry become addicted to gambling. It is better to use another business to make money, especially if the money is for your family. But the best thing is you need to stay away from gambling for a while.

There are pro gamblers out there who make a living out of gambling in more ways than one. So many pros have been earning more on their fame than in their winnings on gambling, because being a pro only takes experience and ample game knowledge to put you at a little advantage over other players.

Pro-gamblers, in their long career of being a gambler, already saved some funds that only intended for gambling purposes. That's why in case of losses, they have backup funds so the journey will go on.

I'm sure that other pro-gamblers too already made an investment outside gambling so they already secured and can able to support their gambling career.

But that was because of their skills that built up throughout the years. It's a difficult road that they manage to breach so they end up turning their fun activity into a profitable one.
