Yes it do exist.

Even people do know that gambling is a game of luck but there were actually people who do make a living with it.
Specially to those who do play poker and sportsbet.It do sounds impossible but these people actually exist.

but I don't think how they can survive or maybe they had another source of income not just only relying on gambling.

I think it will start out that way. When you are playing poker in the weekends for fun but the profits surpasses your monthly earnings it will give you the opportunity to make poker your main source of income.

It doesn't need to be your main source of income because the earnings from games like poker like winds we never know when it will blow on our side and against our side.Better never consider it as main source of income if we want to live better life without debts.

Absolutely there are professional gamblers who are dedicated to the gambling industry and they are all succeeding with their strategies and methods. Basically those in the traditional gambling settlement are the real gambling professionals because they give all their attention to ensure they never lose or lost in a huge way.

There are really people that gambling is their profession. They are not just ordinary gamblers, they have the proper discipline and mindset when they are having a losing streaks in gambling. They are not just someone who is addicted into gambling, they are wealthy enough to treat gambling as a career.

I agree, because everywhere we can see a lot of gambling, they depends their income on gambling, and thats why some others people are addicted on gambling, but not all, because they know know to control their selves and have a right timing. They cannot live without gambling, because its already part of their life.

Well, although both of you are correct I think for me, gambling is not a profession. A sort of just only for fun and not by the intention of gaining money. Maybe there is, but I don't think how they can survive or maybe they had another source of income not just only relying on gambling. Indeed, we had different stories here but one thing that only I can advise, just moderate your self in always having gambling do first the most priority budget plan before the gambling.

In the current time, there are actually people who gamble as their main source of income (i.e. professional poker players, etc.) but I highly advise to follow the same pattern. Making gambling as your profession is like putting your whole life in a wheel, wherein the road is unpredictable with all ups and downs along the way.

For further proof, check our the present day and the people who gamble. Most of them are people who are struggling financially but still, they gamble as their last resort. Making this your main source of income may only give you a potentially dangerous life. If you really want to pursue this path, then get ready for the future as this may give you unexpected results.

I do not know how possible it is for one to live solely on gambling, one can make a lifetime living off it if you actually get lucky to win probably millions through betting, such amount can last one a very long time.

But having no money on you and devoting all your time to just gambling and taking it as a job is actually bad as you'll actually be unable to take care of your bills.
It's highly difficult to work simply as a gambler with no prior large amount of money.

Yes there are professional gamblers and most of these "professional gamblers" are resourceful and knows what to do
when they lose or when they are financially bankrupt. among all the professional gamblers there are only a few of them
who are successful and living debt free.

Personally I know lot of people who were gambling everyday but not sure they can be called as professional gamblers or not.

SInce they are working somewhere from 9 to 5 then use their salary to gable everyday with the hope of making more money.Sadly they keep doing it without reaching their goal.

It depends, I guess because as far as I know, there are professional poker players and they become rich while playing poker and also I think these professionals are successful because they are wise enough in their gameplay and in managing their profits, however, i'm not sure in other gambling games if there is the same as professional poker players because I think other games are mainly luck unlike poker so you can't use any strategy to win.

I think that this is an impossible task to achieve.I know there are many people who claim to be gambling professionals but it is impossible to predict luck so I think no one will always have good luck and win in gambling continuously.

Sure there are Pokerstar players which we see on Tv but they are sponsored from big companies,they are professionals but they get paid from sponsoring companies as if they relied on gambling only they can't make it in the long run.

Just go on and get this thought out of your head before you take a horrible turn into reality.
Professional gambling is only something you see in the movies and I would be very shocked if there were more then a handful of pros who actually post on the internet
Unless they are trying to sell you picks that is Tongue

Some may claim to be professional poker players buy again its not very common and the select few who find success in doing so are not very public about it.

It's possible for someone to become a professional gambler and make a living but as many mentioned there's only a few of them maybe 0.0. One reason only a few succeed because it's difficult to have a profitable record when you're gambling most of the time.

Why is it there are no such things, courses and subjects for gambling where the student must know all sorts of gambling and be an intern in the casino. I know there are courses in some cybers sport already, and cyber sports are only just showcased recently.

There's online courses for gambling, if you search you'll find some(example).

I believe it's not impossible to treat gambling as a profession but I believe there's only few can do that and they don't announce their success online.
I have been trying to become one of them but I have reach my limit already and proven this is not good for me and I should shift to trading instead of focusing in gambling where my future is not bright.

Hmm possible and I think those people are the one who was born rich already, son/daughter of huge businessmen or even well known poker stars. On the other hand, I highly doubt that "rags to riches" kind of people with the right wisdom in life (not greedy or strong against vices) will become addicted to gambling or let's say become professional gamblers simply because they know the importance of money — that it was very hard to earn but can lose in a glimpse. I'm pretty sure they won't risk what they had right now which to a place which may probably lead them back to becoming poor once again.

www.Crypto.Games: Multiple coins, multiple games

There are many people who live off gambling and one of the best in my opinion is Phil Ivey. This guy used his brain to literally grab a edge against the house by working with one of their own people in order to amass huge profits.

The house tried to sue him multiple times, but he gets away cleanly majority of the time. He is just one example. There are many others like him primarily in games of skill(Poker, Sports betting etc).

There are people earning out of gambling apart from pokers. Particularly using the cryptocurrency accepted gambling websites there were more people making an earning for their living. This is truly an unstable way as we don't know when things gonna change inverse. Even when someone is earning big through gambling a day job is the one that makes living more comfortable.

We can't guarantee stable and continous income from gambling due to no assurance of daily lucky wins. Sometimes we win, but mostly losses could likely to occur specially when luck wasn't really for us. That's not a wise idea to make it as your profession, and if you live your life out of gambling much better to treat that as a past time and no serious commitment.

In my reasoning a professional gambler doesn't totally mean the only job they do is gambling but gambling could be or is their main source of income. These gamblers can have other sources of income especially as those sources of income could serve as a revenue for capital rasing for their gambling profession.

Understandable we have professional sport women and men who are also professional gamblers most common cases can be found in the boxing and horse racing professions etc. So to answer your question, Yes there's such a thing call professional gamblers but I doubt gambling would be their only source of income.

I doubt that there are really people who lives off gambling winnings alone. Even the professional gamblers must have some investment somewhere else. Those huge winnings they get may sustain them for one year or two but gambling alone won't feed anyone for a decade or more.
