The chances for us to win in the sports betting will not be too big if we don't know how to pick the right sports because that will depends on how good we know about those sports. If we don't have any info or knowledge, then we will be difficult to win. And to develop the skills is not easy because it will need effort and practice in years so we can get the experience.

I'm not saying it's big or easy, I'm saying it's possible because there are people who are proven to be successful in sports betting.
Unfortunately, if we look at the rate, there's only a small percentage of the total sports gamblers who are really successful, but if we make an effort to pursue, who knows we will be part of the number of successful gamblers.

Yes, I don't think that they can make a living, but if they can win so much money, then they can make a living from the gambling industry. But that will be only a few gamblers who can do that.

We have different opinion but I will respect yours, but hopefully one day I will be able to prove it to you by my experience that I can make a living, and hopefully you will believe me if I show you some proof.

Agree with you we all can become good gambler and we can make good amount of income from gambling as a profession o like to gamble in my free time it’s not my whole earning resource but almost all my earning is about gambling its my additional job which supports me allot to reach my daily needs, so to you as well good luck.

I don't think not all of them. Though there are a lot of gamblers that earned a lot, there are still a lot of them that lost a lot. If you really have the skill, I encourage to gamble since it will create you instances and paths to success. They said that when you enjoy and like what you are doing, it is already a success.

Please don't give people wrong ideas.

People might be able to win some money in gambling but they would never have an income through it.

Pardon my interference but it's not a wrong idea, people can win in gambling and they also have a chance to make gambling as a source of income.
But this is the requirement, provided they have the skills to do it, because it's not impossible to make money in gambling.

Quote from: Janation on September 13, 2019, 12:19:04 AM

That is the reason better keep it as a hobby since in that way, gambler would be able to enjoy their gambling every time they do it. They loss or they win, they will not be regretting it since they enjoy it.

Gambler who doesn't have the skills should consider gambling for fun only, they will never earn but they will continue to spend.
Having fun is our aim but our main purpose is to win, but even if we loss as long as we stay discipline, it will never change us into an addicted gambler which could make a bad decision ruining their lives.

And I am referring to the gamblers that don't really have a skill in gambling.

Though there are a lot of people who have a skill in gambling, there are much more gamblers that don't have that.

Despite the fact that they can win, they can't in the long run. That is why it is better for them to just gamble to have fun rather than focus on earning money through it.

There was a new gentleman at our bar this evening who was very interested in the outcome of a nfl football game
As we were beginning to walk out he said something similar to 'those points would have made all the difference'
My friend said he was probably referring to just Fantasy Sports but I knew what he meant Wink

I also bit to agree on this, Well for me it is. It is a profession because you need to study a lot of strategies in order for you to be able to win the game. Yes, there's a lot of people who live throughout gambling and gambling is they're a source of income. Maybe we can call them gambling professionals because they are relying on gambling. I can prove this because one of my cousins was a gambler and he treats this as a source of income and yet he can make it.

It is not easy at all and I think it is quite impossible to earn a living from gambling.When I was young and still studying in college I worked a few months in a sport betting and horse races casino.

It's not easy but it's not impossible, and only there are people who are extremely lucky in sports betting.
Like this one, https://nypost.com/2018/05/07/woman-wins-1-2-million-on-18-horse-racing-bet/

When I was new in sports betting, I really love to experiment and I even have accounts in every popular sports betting forum because I'm really interested to develop the skills the passion in me to be a sports gambler as I think it's a cool job back then, but like majority of people who tried, I think I also failed.

Quote from: swogerino on September 10, 2019, 02:09:57 AM

I saw people who claim to be making a living from gambling and stayed there from morning to evening but what I saw was that these persons got divorced,lost their jobs and started to borrow money,in other words was the end of their life.

That's not a good example of making a living in gambling, winning sometimes does not mean they can make a living, they need to be consistent and they need to probe that they are living a life without financial problem.

That is the problem.No one is consistent enough in gambling to make a living out of it.The example with the woman who won 1.2 mln is an example of pure luck and not gambling skill.I still think this to be impossible because if anyone can do it many other persons can do it too but then sport books would not exist.

lol, you have really found some good quotes there. I particularly like Mr Norbert Mong's comment, he shall henceforth be known in our household as "The Metal Detecting Buddha"

I feel this is dangerously close to getting off-topic (OK, it's already miles off-topic), but I once went metal detecting as a teenager. I found a human jaw bone... realized I had been wandering around in a medieval burial ground... back then I thought it was pretty cool. Now... not so much..

But if you are spending all your money on the equipment and tools in order to make living from this activity, you are turning your life into hell.

It's only a hell if you don't find any treasure Wink

Yeah, but that happens very very rare. Below are quotes from a metal detecting forum.

Quote from: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=109865

I've found about 5 cents per every dollar I've used to buy equipment.

and another one:

Quote from: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=109865

I find on average about $5 on a good week...I have about $1000 invested in my equipment.

and another one:

Quote from: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=109865

I've been detecting for just under 3 years and have "invested" about 4-5K in metal detectors, diving equipment and other metal detecting accessories. I don't keep detailed records of my finds, but I highly doubt my land finds have yielded even $1000 in that time and that's not even including all the money I had into traveling and lost income from not working those hours.

and this one, summing it all up:

Quote from: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=109865

If I were in this for the money I screwed up...

Yes, some people find treasures and get rich from metal detecting, but they are like those "professional gamblers" to me, deviations from the main rule that happened to be much more lucky than others.

Also I found this quote on another site, which I like very much because it can be said about gambling as well (at least by those who enjoy it):

learning how to handle your emotions is the most important part when it comes to gambling. i have lost so much when i was mad cause of some loses and trying to get it back fast... in the end i have lost everything. if i had stopped playing and going on with my strategies later... i think i would have been more succesful. Undecided

Yes. It is very easy advice to give, but not easy to follow.

We have heard from many pro-bettors that one of the hardest things is when you have a losing run a, and you start to think "what am I doing wrong?".... but you don't even know what you were doing right, when you are winning!

So "going back to the correct strategy" can be difficult, because many don't have a clearly defined strategy... they bet more on feeling.. but then how do you know when you are doing it wrong? Tricky... but then if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Obviously this ins't easy at all, otherwise, these gambling site are already bankrupt now.
That's why a lot of people have tried and challenge themselves because if you are successful in gambling, this will become a lucrative job of making money.

When I was new, I also start my journey here, I was ambitious when I was new but later realize it's not easy as I think.

Gambling is known to be a form of investment with high risk. To be gambling as a profession, you must be self-disciplined, not be too emotional, accept that you can't win everything, don't spend much on a stake.
You can also make extra income from selling your predictions to people.

For me it is the investment with the highest risk and to use it as a profession, you must learn now to be an expert gambling and you can able to handle your emotions when you are winning and at the same time losing. I didn't heard somebody who got rich in gambling already. Maybe there are some who are winning in a night but on the next night, they lose their money too.

Big factors whenever you are playing is to always have a good control of your emotions, it's not that easy but if you have a good working attitude then it can be done correctly, there's some people who have a good outcome from this venue of earning money, they fully have a good system where they can rely achieving their goals to make a profitable business.

Good control of your emotion is only beneficial to avoid further loss and it doesn't make your winnings bigger or even your odds of winning. It's indeed very important to consider being a professional gambler yet it's not distinct technique since everyone is applying it (as assumed). On the other hand, professional gamblers are those who had enough experience and secret strategy; their strategy doesn't guarrante 100% chance of winning but atleast it's higher than the normal gambler.

And it is also a unique skill to look for talented people who can play a certain game on your behalf and to trust that that person will make such good performance and bring you to win. So if you have indeed the money and the ability to see talent in people, then managing them to play in your shoes, I think, is more profitable because you can choose more than one person to play in several kinds of gambling games.

That skill can only be learned by having experience in building a relationship, or it could be as a gift or talent. I believe that some people can see what other people cannot see as they can see the ability of one person and told him to learn something that will improve his skills.

So I think my friend was making the income from gambling although he is not the real gamblers because he only gambles if he finds a good reason for playing gambling. I think that gives me an idea to follow him to find another person to bet for me. But I guess that it is not easy to find the right person.

Gambling itself can be a profession as long as he has skills and he knows when to get in and get out, so he doesn't risk his money on that day.

For me it is the investment with the highest risk and to use it as a profession, you must learn now to be an expert gambling and you can able to handle your emotions when you are winning and at the same time losing. I didn't heard somebody who got rich in gambling already. Maybe there are some who are winning in a night but on the next night, they lose their money too.

learning how to handle your emotions is the most important part when it comes to gambling. i have lost so much when i was mad cause of some loses and trying to get it back fast... in the end i have lost everything. if i had stopped playing and going on with my strategies later... i think i would have been more succesful.
