Of course there are, those who are professionals in gambling are people who can manage their emotions and finances. How can, when they lose a few chips they will stop and when they get a target profit they also stop. Lest we be too ambitious and greedy.
Exactly bro. I think it all depends on our definition of professional gambling. I could refer to myself as a professional gambler because in the time past, I have been able to successfully handle loses, manage wins and also control my emotions not to feel terrible when there is a great loss. Being a professional player does not mean we do not make loses but we have the ability to handle it. This is the reason you will notice a player who that can buy a car from the profits he gets from gambling and another player that has not been able to buy a pen.What I'm asking gambling is about luck, how can they survive in the long run, because luck is not always always on your side right?

I believe there are some people who do gambling for their life. But maybe it is on gambling that really have championship like poker, or maybe other card games. Because if not, there are not much people who want to join it and they who joined it must already train for a long time.
Yes people are using it and getting their life earning from gambling there is no doubt gambling is best way to make money along with enjoyment. I use to gamble in my free time and i do my job as well. For gambling I use only few hours at night other wise I try to sleep gamble along with my job I can't totally rely on Gambling.

I think poker will be a bigger number of people who can make money from the competition, especially in the offline poker which every player meet in one table. But we don't know where the competition has started, and maybe we only heard it in the newspaper or on the television about the winner. Or there is a local competition in some country which gambling has to allow so the player can visit the gambling place and play together.
Sports betting can be the other game with a lot of professional gamblers who use it as the main source of income. Not surprising at all because poker and sports betting required skills so it is good to be used as a source of income unlike the other games which are purely based on luck. Although it is not fully recommended to use gambling to make a living but as long as people are aware about the risk and able to manage their money wisely then it is OK.

First of all, I don't think gambling is a good way of earning money for the long term. I mean, making gambling as a job is not a very good idea. However, there are people who actually make their living out of gambling. They play smart while earning big. Amazing, right? But surely, it's not an overnight thing to be a "professional gambler." It certainly takes tons of time and effort to be one.
And not all gambling stories are about sadness and loss. I've also taken the liberty to search some names of legendary gamblers who are notable for their success in gambling. (https://www.gamblingsites.net/blog/7-examples-of-successful-gamblers/)

I know some people that do arbitrage with sports betting that have been relatively successful (can be almost risk-free if done correctly), though many bookies don't like arbitrage and can and will shut down your account if they detect you're doing arbitrage. There's also sites out there that allow you to do arbitrage on sites such as Betfair, though betting with exchanges is different than betting with a regular sportsbook in many instances. I imagine it's pretty hard to live off of this particular method alone, but there are people out there who live off of gambling with different methods.

I used to make a living solely playing poker at my local venue, however they have since closed down after it was discovered they were hugely in debt after someone had bribed the staff to rig the table games.
Now I still make a good income playing poker online, but I would imagine few people make a living playing games of pure luck.

Definitely a lot of professional gamblers they treat gambling as job and profession, remember during I am working in the pawnshop one of my customers pawn their gold if he lose in the casino and gross again if he got win again vice versa. Their lives cycle is to play gambling and he treat gambling as job and source source of income but he have an greed selfcontrol as prossional gambler.
His case is entirely different if he is really greed as you stated.
However, bare in mind that if he is truly good at what he does (gambling) it's okay to make a living from it. At least there will be more winnings than losing.
For the few years in have spent gambling on traditional mode before joining the online casinos I has never seen a good successful gambler that had live his or her life solely on gambling without doing any other. Sincerely speaking it's very hard to win consecutively on a game without a lost, even at that, not all days you as a gambler can win in the arena, so, mist of these gamblers we see are also into other stuff that generate income apart from gambling.
It’s better to invest in business than to gamble that’s the easiest answer to this thread.because risking your money in just a Game is like throwing your food outside the window.

Yes.Those gamblers we have seen that are really making huge profits does not mean they rely on gambling alone for source of living.They are also making investments in crypto apart from gambling.As far as i know,there is no such professional gambler that will make a stable income from gambling.And the fact that winning is very rare in gambling so a wise man would not really depend his income alone in gambling.

I think there is a professional gambler, if what you mean is someone who has good ability in gambling and gets lots of wins. but I'm not sure there are people who can make living only by gambling, there will definitely be burnout in their lives. precisely the one who benefits most from gambling is the owner of a gambling place, he will be able to survive only with their gambling place.

There are professional gamblers out there but their numbers are probably overestimated, you need to have a strategy that offers a positive expectancy and that is very difficult to get when you are playing against the house but it is possible in blackjack if you use card counting, you can also get an edge in games where you are playing against other players and not the house like poker, however while many have dreams of becoming professional gamblers the truth is that it is extremely difficult.

Achieving such state wont really be that easy yet risk management or handling cant be obtained if you wont experienced deep losses.It will depend on how you do accept those and learn on next time which you will able to overcome that greediness or chasing up losses emotion.

In a case where he is just taking chances and gambling on probability, then he is taking a big risk and complete waste of money.
