Yeah some of the gamblers treat gamble as a profession and they treat gambling as source of income, some are lucky by day to day play gambler they get win. But take note not all the time is a lucky day eveb if the gambler is very knowledgeable I still believe with out there a big chances to get lose. And the result is addiction because they want to get back their loses to avoid this I advise play gamble wit self control and play it just for fun.

I know a guy who plays billboards and you hire them to play against someone whom you know is also good in playing billboards.
It happens to my friend in billiard place. Someone asked him to play with him,
why there are some people that do that ? i mean why they hire someone to play with them when they can learn playing that game . i prefer playing on my own because i dont need to pay for anyone and i dont want my winning to be shared on others . same as when you loose you dont also regret for paying with others but you also get an experience to play with other pro players and whats better is that you enjoyed playing the game.
That is right, you've got the point @nydiacaskey01
My friend tells me that he uses his friend skill in playing gambling, and while he watches the match, he can also get a new lesson from every friend he hires. My friend can play billiard, but he doesn't have good skills in those sports, so hire his friend will be a good way to gamble. Perhaps, my friend is like a broker who can gather a good player who has good skills in every sport so he can directly call them if he needed them.
By doing that, if his player can win, he will get the money, his friend will also get the money, everybody will be happy. When he loses, he will not be sad because he can find another winning from another sport.
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.

I think those Successful in gambling are people that can be called “Gifted” and they are only few compared to the failures
Yes, if you're a pro gambler, you definitely can't turn up late, hungover, and unprepared at the office on a Monday morning and expect to get paid. You need to work for that money, have a plan, and be able to execute on that plan. It's just not for everybody... or even most people.

Gambling is not suitable to be a profession, moreover it is used for a main income. It can indeed be done because I've also experienced it for several years, but to be honest I suffer a lot to do it because every day I am required to bet by having high pressure to get a profit. So, make gambling just to have fun with a little hope of winning, that way you deserve to be a professional gambler because playing with a good mood will make winning and luck at least easy to get.
Yeah it cannot be suitable as profession but it can be done in some ways.--
I think gambling can be a profession especially when you're playing on the international league. Being a pro on a specific genre like gaming, gambling or sports, you can be called as a pro or a professional player.
For example in eSports, even you're in a small league and really dedicated to winning, It means you're a pro. You're practicing every time and studying the possibilities of winning based on the current meta.
Nowadays, everything is suitable as a profession as long as you're doing it because you need to win.

Yes they are, and I know some people do, but they are not gambling online but the traditional way of gambling like horse racing and cockfighting, of course in cockfighting you must know how to breed good roster and cock for a derby, cockfighting runs to millions of pesos in our country and it's a big business for big-time gamblers.

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

There are those who play for a pay. I guess we can include them as professional like those who play poker. Also I know a guy who plays billboards and you hire them to play against someone whom you know is also good in playing billboards. This guy will take a fee and will take a % of the winnings if he won.
Interesting. I have seen people offer services like this on this forum. Never knew it's done in real world. So this means those services they offer may actually be true? I think it would be nice to see their records or past performances to know if they really do what they claim they do

That's probably the best reason not to pursue gambling as a profession. For most people it can be an emotional roller coaster at best. Who the hell wants to do that in order to feed themselves on a daily basis? IMO gambling should be a fun thing with a chance to make money. Once you do it as your main source of income, I can't imagine you'd have much fun anymore.I agree. I would compare it to metal detecting. If you are doing it just for fun in your spare time, you can have fun with this activity, and may even find some ancient Roman coins, or silver or even golden rings occasionally. 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.

I doubt you will get rich with gambling sadly
Gambling has allot of profit from gambling it can be use as profession it has huge benefit and can make people rich faster than any other earning resource. People since long are betting in different games and they are accepting it as a good profession so many people are today professionals in gambling, so I am planning for.However, that reward will remain so attractive because most of the gamblers did not have the skills to be consistently making money in gambling.
Having this as profession for me as the best profession especially if I can assure that I can really make money here.
Like in real life, we have a profession that pays us so it's expected that we will benefit in gambling if we consider this as a profession.
I know a lot wants to make money in gambling but a lot have already tried and failed here, I hope we will also see that reality.

And the worst part of pro sports betting:
- "stress build through the day, and watching the race is unbearable at times"
- "losing, ruins your whole day"
- "not tilting when on a losing run"
- "not enough company, sitting on your own getting stressed"
But most professions have their downsides, I guess.

The other day, we asked them what the best part of it was, they said:
- "winning!"
- "winning when you were RIGHT"
- "sitting down to a new race/match and puzzling it all out - loved the challenge"
- "winning winning winning"
nothing about billboards though

but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?
About 12 years ago, I knew a coworker whose husband made a living as a poker player. As far as I know he didn't enter tournaments per se, but instead went to the casino every day and played there. I remember thinking that was a crazy way to earn a living, even though I figured it was quite possible if he was skilled enough.That's one of the only ways I can think of to make a living as a gambler, i.e., by playing games of skill instead of those where the house always has the edge. The latter is like trying to make money by playing the lottery--it's not possible. And personally I can't picture the average person playing games of skill to support themselves (and especially a family). It's got to be stressful and unless you're really good it's just not going to happen.
Also I know a guy who plays billboards
Billboards, eh? Never heard of that. to be honest I suffer a lot to do it because every day I am required to bet by having high pressure to get a profit.

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.
Managing emotions is crucial for long-term success, but not easy. Most of us get involved with betting because of the 'rush' and strong emotions it can give you. To then stop looking for that rush.. even to get rid of it completely... is not easy for 99% of people.

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.

Yeah it cannot be suitable as profession but it can be done in some ways.I have known some people who use this as profession (but ofcourse they stablished their life at first before finding self to live for gambling instead of work)and good to say that they are still progressing and still doing good in life
But surely the are just few from my that involving in gambling just to risk money and not to take it seriously to become profitable (things that include having self control in which very hard to do)

I don't think it's wise to trust someone else's luck when it comes to a game that depends completely on luck! Maybe I can trust professional players that engage in sports betting since sports can somehow be predicted and experts in sports can turn to be really good advisers to guide on bets

There are a lot of people with this classifications but I don't think that helped turn off their greediness towards winning and obviously, money. Gambling should just be a way to have fun not hope for a great profit.
