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.
Cause no one is supposed to ever make a living out of gambling. Gambling is something you do to relieve yourself of the stress from the outside world, and not something to replace a regular job.

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. But once lady luck stops being on your side, you're sure as hell screwed.

You often hear people say that they gamble to earn something from time to time. I think a lot of people who lose will post that story too. Many gamblers who lose a lot online live in their own world and keep the losses to themselves. There is really only a very select group that can gamble profitably.
Losing is a thing that should've kept to ourselves. You will rarely see people boasting their losses because it's shameful when you're going to broadcast your losses. With small losses, there's no shame on it because that's just a little amount. But with those big amounts, someone who's proud of himself with that loss can say it to anyone without any reserve. But for those successful gamblers, they can easily talk about their losses and how much they've made after experiencing it. That is like the failure and success stories that we often see.

As a gambler I don't think so, as an operator yes they can make money out of gambling, bounty hunters are also making money from promoting gambling site but from gambling, only operators can make money, but players it's hard to make money from gambling, you can win sometimes but most of the time you break even or lose a lot.
Thats how reality works and its not that something new here on this industry where lots of gamblers do lost a lot and only the house do win in the end.Its been a common line but still people do play not just for the sake of entertainment but having those aim on making money even if they do know on what are the odds of it.
There are people who do make out some living but only to those who do invest with the house which they arent playing but they are making profits
as the house do make profits.
If you are a gambler once or have tried gambling, you will understand the feeling why many people are getting addicted to it. The idea of getting good money aside from the fun that you will get is the main motivation why many are hooked into gambling. Even if we say, the chance of winning is really low, people will still play, if given the chance. Just look at those people who bet on lotteries. We know the chance is very slim, and yet people keep on betting. And some already give their life to gambling especially those who feel they have no other options to survive.

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.

Using the words can only means no chance for a gambler to make money, I disagree with that, we already know that gambling sites makes money, that is given but that doesn't mean they don't experience loses, the reality is they have loses but they are still profitable in the end, so no matter if some gamblers are making money from them as long as they are profitable in overall, not a problem with them. its hard to earn money on gambling in your own but if you are being hired to play , you can earn and make a living

Well, we need to find out if the so called professional gamblers have other jobs in real life that augments to the money that they earn in gambling. There are many professional gamblers that I think do not have jobs, but they have the skill in managing their assets and wealth as such that they were able to live the life they want, and still have the money to pay for the gambling. They have superb discipline not to over spend and also ambitious.
Some people consider gambling as their profession and their job. Some of them making this their main source of income, I assume that they are making good money from gambling and I believe he got this talent or skills more than us. Only a few people have got this thing, many people come to gambling but sadly they usually lose. I don't believe in gambling beliefs but as I talk to one of my friends who is doing this, he says there is such a thing but not 100% it gives you back what you wanted but base on his experience, he got more on winning than losing. If that be consistent, he can make this thing for a living.

In most of the cases people will always find a way to live and use whatever their skills in order to live. In terms of gambling, there are plenty of gambling games and as you can see there are gambling games that needs some skills in order to win and for those who have skills in order to win that gambling games then I am pretty sure that they make it as their profession and live their life by gambling.
I saw some professional poker players that are keep on winning in most of the tournaments that they are in so I am sure that they are playing poker as their profession and they live by continuing to play poker as they are good in that kind of games and their winning percentage will help them to live a comfortable life.

I know person out there who treat gambling as profession wherein they are focusing to earn money than to get enjoyment and entertainment. For me what they are doing is hard but it is their profession afterall which only means that they work hard to learn a lot and gained experiences that they can use to decide very well. I asked them on how they earn consistently through gambling, most of their answers are they have edge from other gamblers which means that they know how to understand and play the game. A lot of gamblers are keep losing because they do not have any edge when they are doing gambling.

There is no assurance that you will earn money in the gambling let just say that you are professional gambler they still losing money like professional poker player they have a lot of startegy and they know how to bluff the players but sometimes they did not useful. Gambling is not a profession for me unless you are owner of the gambling casino you wll buy your needs and wants because you will get a lot of profit but if you are player it is not, it is better to find a real job because gambling is not source of income.
There are other areas in which gambling is used as profession but they are not literally gamblers.Like those Casino Dealers ,some of them studied and Make that skills as profession ,before the computer aged casino comes ,dealers are the Most payed skill worker of casinos,and they are really making money out of gambling.
But if this is about the Betting professionals ?There are few that successful and doing this to make a luxurious living , though they are very Few and all of them are Great in self controlling and Money management.

I once tried to make gambling a source of income and hoped to make a living from gambling, but it didn't end well. The capital that I used
to gamble always ran out, even though I felt that I had tried various strategies, nothing worked. Surely if I make a profit if I continue playing
gambling again, it always ends in losses. From my experience, I conclude that gambling cannot be used as a profession, it is better just to be
used as entertainment.

Well ypu have to be extremely good or calculated if you wanna make a living out of gambling. Because they are basically polar opposites with the same goal at the end of the road. With that being said, there are indeed a few notable people who are so good at gambling they basically make an earning out of it. But if you aren't that confident enough of your skills, I would suggest looking for other ways to earn money.
We have these what we called a professional gambler that i guess were making gambling as their living or source of living. And no doubt that some of the gambler well considered it as their living because of the sudden wealth that gambling offers if ever you will going to win it. But as what gambling is all about, life here isn't winning as always as what we have wish for.
Yeah, You're right ... There are some gamblers who think they are professional gamblers while they don't realize that they have become addicted gamblers and some are already aware of it, but they think it is not a serious problem for them.
When a person who gambles for a living becomes addicted to the activity, then this will cause serious problems and it can disrupt their lives because their time wasted on something risky, though they should be able to get money from gambling but instead risk losing their money.

There are players who live on gambling, but they do it with ultimate care and lose less than an average gambler who would just lose everything by even going all in to recover their losses sometimes which is a spoiled strategy. These pro players have huge control on their addiction and love for this area that they will hold themselves easily and stop doing it when they know they are losing more.
Professional gamblers have every thing that they need in order to minimize their losses. We know that losing is inevitable in gambling but they have control if they are losing or winning. They see gambling as their main source of income and we can't blame them. Add also the part that they are passionate about gambling that is why they are spending money on it. If they love gambling then let them 
. Average gamblers?? Let them gamble and the casino owners and these professional gamblers will take their money.

For sure, some people love only in the world of gambling, their source of income is only in gambling, well those are the great ones and they have for sure the skills and knowledge about gambling so they are confident enough to trust only gambling for their income but I do not agree with this, gambling is still risky and so addictive, some so many people can lose many opportunities and money as well if they become addicted in the world of gambling.

They are treating it as business, so they would do everything to succeed, they are not like us who are just a typical gambler with a one time bankroll and think that we have to win today and come back tomorrow to win again. No, they have a good mindset and they treat gambling as a long term job and expect a realistic profit, of course they accept loses as well.
The pros as far as I know, they have a managers that help them get through events and such, I think it leans more on being a professional rather than business. I do not think that pros do not call it a job either but for me putting in effort and time to do something should be considered a job, if you want to survive as a pro player, I think that you should also portion your winnings into something that gives a growth like stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrency.In my opinion, this people that are living out their life through gambling is the most ballsy type of people because every pro aims to get your money and anytime you could lose it.
