There are professional gamblers, that's what I know. But I am not sure if they are living solely out of their gambling prizes. For sure, even the professionals lose. And as far as I can observe, those who are gambling with high bets have stable sources of huge income. They can spend all their days gambling because they can fully support it. If you are living only on your gambling wins, I doubt if you can sustain your life as a professional gambler. The tide is not always on your side, after all.
Your statement is contradicting mate, if you believe in the existence of professional gamblers, then you should know better that their income is basically from gambling alone, this is the reason they are called professional gamblers. For example, when people ask what for your profession, the first thing that would come to your mind is where your money comes from.
I don’t believe there is anything like professional gambling, those who are making money in gambling are not professional gamblers, they get money from other sources not necessarily from gambling alone. Gambling is unpredictable and no gambler can boast of a stable income from gambling, that means no one can be regarded as a professional gambler.
Where is the contradiction? If you are a professional gambler it does not automatically mean that your income is from gambling alone. I have known some personalities here in my country who are professional poker players, for example. They play day in and day out. They win big, they also lose big. But they have business under their names, run by their trustees, so that they can afford to lose big and still play with huge amounts the next day.
And mate, you haven't predicted it right. When someone asks me about my profession, money or its source is not the first thing that comes to my mind. I am thinking of career, or of what I have finished in college, or perhaps the specific area of which I have expertise or formal training.

The term professional gambler applies only to poker players and sports betting, to be clear on that first. I know people that live from that, they make money on other sides too, but from poker or sports betting they make most of the money. Lucky based gambling games are pure luck, most people lose a lot or win a lot when they play these games, it can be fun and interesting, but you can make money on slots constantly.
Poker and betting on sports are different. Skill-based games are games where you can constantly win, or at least most of the time. People are earning millions on poker tournaments and sports betting.
Let us take poker or sports betting, for example. If there are winners, there must be losers as well. If there are millions in winning prizes, there must also be millions in losses. Those who are losing big time may still come back the following day and bet big amounts of money. Where do you think this money come from? Only from their previous winning? No, I doubt it. In gambling, it is not always a sunny day. These people must have other sources of income which give them a continuous flow of money.
