Yes professional gambler are not just relying on their luck, they mainly use their skills and strategy to win.
This part is true as these professional gamblers wage a ton of money and they necessarily do not rely on their luck all the time, they will try to bring the luck to them as they know with dollars anything can be purchased and sometimes the investigators catch the players because they took money from someone, in short yes these gamblers will bribe players to play according to their terms and its called fixing  Tongue Grin.

For an ordinary gambler it might hard to believe it but (just like what you have said) there are few gamblers who can actually do it.
Its just that not all can do it because we know majority are losing their money rather than winning.
If you are a true sports fan you can wage a bet on the team, there is a ton information needed to wage a bet, player injures and critical information are a vital part when you are wagging a bet and the past statistical performance in the past few months does help you in coming to a prediction that will be almost accurate.

I believe that there are people who live out of gambling.
But this doesn't mean that they make money from tournaments, etc. Professional gamblers make money mostly due to sponsorships and advertisements. So there is a way of making indirect money from gambling.

skills is very important to the gamblers
If you or someone has made gambling a profession then this is what you must have. Not just luck and play carelessly. It will result in loss and you don't get profit every day. Professional gamblers already know what to do and win not hoping for luck.
But, of course, it takes time. You don't get to become an expert on something in just a snap. Things like this doesn't happen overnight. Skills are learned and practiced that's why patience is also necessary. Yes, professional gamblers know what to do with the help of their skills but they'll surely tell an aspiring professional to always have patience with them.

In order for you to win, you need to rely on your skills and the reality would tell that there are only few people who have the skills to make a living in gambling,

Its just that not all can do it because we know majority are losing their money rather than winning.

The thing is we thought we can easily make it because of the belief that there are people who are making money in gambling.
Things are not like that, if winning in gambling is easy, those operators will not last this long, they should have close the business a long time ago.

If we research in the internet, we will see a lot of people claiming they are winner in sports betting and they are selling their system to help gamblers, please don't fall for that as that is likely a scam attempt. We can only be successful in sports betting by our own, so don't rely to other people.
Gambling is no profession by any mean. It is just a game which risks money.  And there is not a bit of reality in it that some gamblers are making money out of this game to fulfill their basic needs. Majority of gamblers lose not only money but many more due t this evil. At most, it should be played just like any other game which means not very often and that too with a small amount of money.
I don't see it as a profession to as I see gambling as a form of entertainment only. Some sees them as a profession because there is money involve with it which is wrong. I didn't see anybody who became rich and bought something rich out of their profits in gambling. Yes there are some gamblers who are winning but what they are doing is they will gamble it again hoping that it will give them more profits but they always end up losing their money and the profits they got. Gambling is not a profession for me but maybe for some they see it as it is.

obviously it will be difficult if you only rely on gambling as the main source to make a living. to win gambling, most people only rely on luck
That's wrong, although its difficult but it's not impossible to win in gambling, if you rely on luck, you won't simply be making a living in gambling.

In order for you to win, you need to rely on your skills and the reality would tell that there are only few people who have the skills to make a living in gambling, and I am sure the casinos are aware of that but do they care? of course not, what they care is that they win in overall which they can pretty easily do.
Thus the point is that not all gamblers are able to make gambling a part of the profession, because basically gambling is game of luck and even though you have good skills in gambling, there are times when you will get a bad incident when betting. In that case indeed every profession would at least have good and bad situations, but in gambling I only felt that gambling was filled with pressure and greed until finally it only ended with loss and it was difficult to move on when we had no other source income.

This is a play on words because gambling is a profession but it's not named this way. There are professional poker players and people who bet on sports, horses, fights. THere are people who organize events and bet on them at the same time. Many people live off gambling but they don't describe themselves as professional gamblers because it doesn't sound right and puts them in a bad light.

Someone who's not even a professional but knows how to play carefully, he will get the idea on how to play well. Gambling professionally isn't a thing for most of the people here but this is actually for real.

Some can't believe that this is a thing that happens elsewhere and thinks that gambling is only for fun. But honestly, as long as they can maintain themselves and sees an opportunity for it and they know the risk and possibility of how much it will cost them.

I see this alot of this on the Web, usually pity those who fell for those scams. Anyone who truly has a wining system for sport betting and wants to sell it or wants to teach someone is a pure scam. If they really have such thing as they claim, they won't want it saturated.
I don’t know if people will really buy that idea,gamblers are more mature now and being learner about all he scam attempts in this forum
As fo how many times its discussed in all boards here ,reminders from various person and exposure fromhe detectives,basically we are safe now
For sure, there are a lot of people who still believe that. Any gambling games strategy that sell to people, if they still don't know or think about easy winning, they will buy it. That scammers still appear until now, only because there are a lot of people still believe with it.

Good analysis there, mate. It is not so rare that when I check such long posts made by new members for plagiarism, they appear to be either partially or completely plagiarized. This post of yours was checked as 100% unique, so I decided to give you a merit.

I personally think that someone can say that gambling was a profession for him/her only post factum, after winning hundreds of thousands or millions of USD with it. Such people can(and have all the right to) give lectures and write books about how smart they are and how effective their strategies are, because, as they say, "the winner takes it all", not only money but fame also. But in fact they just happened to be more lucky than others in a certain period of time.


Thanks for offering the Merit point! Really appreciate. I'm trying my best to stay unique and differentiate myself from the spammers, and hopefully I will not be considered one in the future either.

Yeah, anyone can gamble and say they've got the key to winning but I bet you the next person who's going to use their "trick" will not have the same results. I'm talking from actual experience over here, because it unfortunately happened to me too when gambling (however, it was a good lesson I learned). So don't listen to Buffet hoping you'll have the same success. Just mark his words and see what you can offer to get everyone's opinion about your product/service from "meh" to "wow!".

~If there was an actual "key" to gamble professionally, there would be no casinos around as everyone would know how to do it. Now you can give me the example of businesses by saying the same thing applies there too: some businessmen can succeed while some can't. However, gambling is much more different.

In business, you can predict and you can prevent. In gambling, you can't. When you place a bet, you know it could be a hit or a miss. In dice games you can say there are predictions as you can choose what profit % to get, but that doesn't mean you can easily get a profit. Gambling cannot be a profession, and whoever succeeds through it is doing it just because they were lucky. As a profession, it's short-lived.

Looking through and testing out gambling websites where you could use crypto to gamble with, I found most of the users having positive daily profit but negative overall. That gives you all the time a fake achievement and profit feeling when, in reality, you've actually lost overall. It makes no sense to be happy with your today's $1k profit if in the past 30 days you've lost $10k. However, casinos are well thought so we lose more than we win. I like the gambling communities but the games there cannot make you live out of them without luck. They were created this way.

So no, skill isn't important at all. The only thing that might help you not lose is the ability of thinking what sums to go and play with, because if you go all in you might lose the entirety of your funds. But that should be logic and whoever does that and then cries is silly. If you're risking your money, why are you crying when you lose it?

When it comes to sports betting, there might be a bit of truth out there as some sports bets are easier to predict, but the stakes should also be lower as far as my logic goes (never played sports betting before). However, there still are only a few out of all those players who can earn a good and sustainable amount of money through bets. So only a few can turn it into a living and EVEN THEN, it would still be pretty risky. Gambling's meaning is "play games of chance for money; bet" as Google results say, so even here there is a CHANCE of winning and one of losing.

All I have left to say is.. everyone gambling, whether on BTC or fiat, should take maximum care and only play with funds they can afford to lose. Use your brain and, hopefully, with a bit of luck, you'll be able to get some profit. But don't start with the thought of turning it into a profession, because it might hurt you or your wallet.

skills is very important to the gamblers you know what you next to do to avoid losing money in gambling. Many professional gamblers did not depends on their luck they have they really want to make sure that they win when they play or bet in gambling but they have sometimes that because of their skills they lose of their money because that skills not works all the time.

We can only be successful in sports betting by our own, so don't rely to other people.

about that, one will have to do a lot of research to gain knowledge about sports betting, and in those searches it will depend on data published by others. It is important to always look for different opinions on the same subject so that you can have a good knowledge, I read some stories of people who have succeeded in the world of gambling, but they avoid talking about their strategies and their failures.

Just curious here.
I know there are tons of way to live.

but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?

people who make a living onlyout of gambling (online or on rl)?

resources and comments on that are really welcome.

I think there are and they are many of them like casino operators, dealers, and usher they make a living out of the gambling industry, but if it is only in playing gambling, I don't think they are that many, because it's hard to make a living out of gambling alone, it's a game of luck that even gamblers have no control of, it takes to become a god of gambler to make a living out of gambling.

For people who are not playing gambling, but they work in the gambling industry, they can make a living from gambling. But for people who are playing gambling, they are hard to make a living. They will face experiences to get lost many times because they really need to have luck. The luck itself will not come to them every day so that will makes them have to lose the money.

We talk in the general of gambling games and not for specific of the games. Although there is a chance for poker player or sports betting which can make a living from that type of gambling, that still is difficult for ordinary people who don't have so many experiences to make a living from gambling.

obviously it will be difficult if you only rely on gambling as the main source to make a living. to win gambling, most people only rely on luck, therefore the income earned cannot be pegged every day. another case with those who work on gambling sites, of course they can make a living from gambling because he gets a fixed income that has been determined by the manager of the business itself

We don't talk about luck here if we are serious with making gambling as our profession.
When we speak of it as a profession, it's like a job that we need to perform effectively to have a great result and that requires us to be smart so we can be consistent in winning and we will end up profitable.

Luck will just come along the way but it will just come and go anytime, so we cannot rely on it.

If gambling has become a profession do not expect luck. That won't produce a consistent income.

What you say is true, if someone who lives from gambling / makes gambling as a daily job then do not ever expect luck alone. It's only for people who play gambling for fun.
