Besides professional pokers, I know some one in our neighbourhood that truly relies on gambling (cock-fighting) as his source of income. I know this for a fact because he is the father of my best friend. I grow up with his families and know this personally. And all of them are professional know, finished their college and a degree holder and employed to, you wouldn't believed it, a casino, how ironic...

There is a lot, to be honest.
If you do not know, there are a lot of tournaments out there that you might not know, of course, the most popular nowadays is the esports tournament but poker has a lot of tournaments too and we are also talking about thousands and millions of price here. As far as I know, there are a lot of people that won and lost here so I guess it is really safe to say that there a lot of there out there, gambling as their profession.

Gambling for living is like a joke for me. You aren't supposed to think you can make same amount or higher everyday / month or year from gamble. I believe you can only win in gambling when you are lucky, and its only happened few times.
I only ever heard how to trade for living, which you can start by on livecoin (in my signature)

There is but it won't survive, gambling as a profession is not easy to sustain your daily income or the things makes worst if you lost everything you had. There is no stable profit on gambling if this is the way of living. I have friends that the source of income is only n gambling but after a year his life makes ruin and become miserable life. All savings are gone and next all his properties had gone. Nevertheless, gambling is not mean for a profession in living it is intended for fun only.

It is been ages, since from the beginning of a new era, and I bet from medieval period there are already gamblers, and yet I haven't encountered gambling as a profession, like what other profession needs, a college degree. 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.

Gambling is a multi-billion dollar business, the governments are running gambling casinos to fund their various projects, business corporations create cities for gambling and we all the know one president whose business is running casinos.
Gambling creates jobs and of course, there are professional gamblers who can make millions in one night along, these are high rollers who make a living as a professional gambler, they can do these because some of them are loan sharks who lend money to his fellow gamblers.
Some gamblers have developed a strategy of their own that they can employ to win in gambling, they may not always win every night, but they make sure their winnings compensate for their losses.

Perhaps, some people live from gambling, but I am not sure about the number of them. I am sure that there are professional gamblers who are playing gambling and make money from gambling. But I think they don't expose who they are especially for people who can make a thousand dollars from gambling. That is difficult to become a professional gambler because we need to master the games. We need to have much experience in the games, and that will need a long time before we can be a professional gambler.

Well there are tons of professional poker players that manages to win hundreds of thousands, if not millions in one seating/tournament. There are also those who live off purely of betting on sports and/or other events. One notable person I follow who lives his life through playing poker professionally is Erik Seidel. We all know his magic hands and how much WSOP bracelets he have in his arsenal (
. You also have Daniel Negreanu who bagged 6 WSOP bracelets and was considered one of the best poker players in 2014. It is possible though again, you need to have an extreme amount of luck, experience, skill, and of course, starting money in order to live off your life with just gambling.
