sometimes the situation is quite different, most people who have a small economy often get caught up in gambling and use it as a hope, in contrast to people who have enough economy they gamble with pleasure

Well I see that as a weak and negative mindset to gambling. If you are gambling because you have meagre resources and want to earn a living as a gambler, it is a very wrong decision as far as I am concerned because it will end up ruining the person's financial life and well-being. People who have small economy should do less of fun things to make money, since gambling is also a way of catching fun. They should diversify in different businesses to scale up their business opportunities.

But of course a lot of people caught up in this situation, gambling with the intention of making more money. I will say that is wrong and they should have instead think of creative ideas that can even create gambling platform ls or games like you.

People can take it as the jobs ~XD

Example: Streamer, Poker Profesional. As long you can control and manage your self, these industry have some potential. Especially on (Streamer) the money flow is really big as you can see the contract between Stake - Influencer

It's really rolling.

Or better still, people can pay more attention into creating the gambling platforms with the intention of making more money through it. Like those creating casino games out there, many of us can come up with much creative platforms and betting games that will interest gamblers thereby making a living from it.

I knew someone who had a previous high paying job in a corporate company, but after participating in different casino sites, He didn't work well and he was fired because of his changes of behavior and actions inside the company. He was addicted to gambling and we didn't see him regretting, but continued gambling and he even made it his main career, which is not okay. He wasted a good job and a high salary just for his gambling. Many people were disappointed with what he did, especially his family, but he didn't think about it anymore because his mind was poisoned about gambling.
It turns out that there are also many such people, I also know some people who make gambling as the main job regardless of the real job.
It is quite unfortunate indeed to have to sacrifice their real job for gambling, which ultimately becomes them as an addict and affects their lives drastically.

I'm also not against gambling because I do too, perhaps the difference is how to treat gambling as entertainment only and nothing more.
Because if you only focus on gambling and don't think about the work that should be done, it already goes into gambling addiction, which is not good.
They need for attention from the surrounding environment, especially the family, so that such people do not fall too far into gambling addiction.

The only people who could make a living from gambling are the ones who owns it, not the gamblers or player.
If you want to make a living out of it then stop being the player be the owner or invest/share holder.
It is hard to make a living from gambling if you are thw player.
Exactly, casino operators or those who created slot machines are the only ones that are going to make lots of money out of us. And even us gamblers knows how the game is being played here, still though, we are willing to take that risk and hope that someday we are going to win big. But to consider gambling as like as means to an end, to bring food in the table for your family on a daily basis? it's a wrong mindset.

There could be some successful gamblers, like professional poker and win millions in a tournament. But still skills are a requirement and it takes someone years to perfect his craft to become a pro poker and still not assurance that you can land in the top 10 and make a lot of money.

Sad reality, but no matter how many topics like this there are in this forum, if this can't reach those people or gamblers that are addicted to gambling, then they will not be enlightened and wake up from their wrongdoings. Gambling is really built for fun and entertainment only until it involves money. From there, even a gambler who initially aims to have fun in gambling will end up losing more money because they cannot take the feeling of losing money, and that's when they start to play more in order to increase their money or to recover the lost. Little do they know they are being brought to their addiction.

Gambling will never and ever be a source of income or a way of living, as you could lose money anytime, and the losing of money in this thing is fast, so you will only notice that you've lost anything when you don't have anything.

Yup, but at least those beginners in gambling will understand the right concept about it so that they will not going to be like those other gambling addict who chose to do gambling as their main job. I knew someone who had a previous high paying job in a corporate company, but after participating in different casino sites, He didn't work well and he was fired because of his changes of behavior and actions inside the company. He was addicted to gambling and we didn't see him regretting, but continued gambling and he even made it his main career, which is not okay.

Everyone doesn't have this mentality and very few through their experience understand it and limit the spending. The majority does it in the wrong way. They just experience good winning at the beginning and the same thought gets stuck in their mind. For the same they keep running with loan money and with different other sources borrowing.

Never mind considering this gambling activity as a permanent job, assuming that this gambling activity is a side job, it is impossible for me personally to think so. Because from my experience, winning in gambling is a matter of chance and I really can't guarantee that every time I play gambling, I will get a big profit. And what happened was the opposite, I had more defeats than wins. Even though I have tried my best to make mature analysis results every time I place a bet. Even though I did my best to stay under control when gambling, it still ended in a loss. Even though the loss was quite small, I was still able to bear and accept the loss. But if it is accumulated, maybe the number will be bigger than what we previously thought.

Gambling is just a hobby, so it is not good if we dedicate too much time just to gambling. And it doesn't make sense if someone thinks that gambling is their daily job.

The gambler who took the gambling as the real job must be more cautious to have money for the next game.Because every game gave you both the opportunity to win and loss,So the gambler should able to reach the game after he had lost everything he had.The gambler should learn to withdraw the winning money after the big money was made,enable the greedy at the risky time will leads to further risk of winning.The gambler who wants to do gambling as their real job should get satisfied with the minimum reward of money.The gamblers who had huge backup will not worry for the money loss in the game.

I believe it is a lesson and also something which has been already repeated several times here in the gambling section. How this activity is supposed to be nothing beyond a way to get entertainment and thrill. Though, sadly there is a lot of people who have that mindset which you described and only partake in gambling because of their interest on the potential money they COULD earn by chance.
I believe if those people who have such a mindset were aware of the chances they actually have when comes to winning consistently, then they would try to give their time and money a better use.
In the end, each one of us is responsible for the money wagered, and responsible for the consequences which would come with the earns and losses. So sad how people do not yet understand the importance of gambling responsibly as a priority.

One of the reasons why people easily get addicted to gambling is when they start their journey into gambling just so they can solve their financial crisis.

Most of the people around me that are strongly into gambling and would even dress up in the morning as though they are going to work and go straight to the soccer betting shop are individual that don't have a job they are doing and that have seen people win big money through gambling and so all their mind is fixed at getting their own win also.

Some will even do small jobs just so they can get the money they will use in gambling with the mindset that it is through that gambling that they will be freed from poverty.

Once you find yourself in that condition just know that you are going to waste your time, money and energy in gambling and the reality is that most of the people that have a fixed mentality that they must win in their gambling are the ones that always loose their money in process.

Gambling is not a means to an end and their is no guarantee that you must win in the process so just do your prediction and enjoy the fun, if you win, thumbs up for you but if you don't win don't allow it get at you and don't assume you can always win back your money, learn and master the right time to walk away.
It is weird to understand that some people will wake up in the morning dress up as if they are going for a job and end up in a betting shop, personally I have not seen or experienced this kind of situation, but for anybody that does that, that person needs some psychological evaluation, betting cannot be taken as a full-time job, it is something we do for leisure and to have fun,  gambling is all about prediction of a certain outcome and that outcome might not be guaranteed so is a 50/50 situation,  so if somebody makes it a day to day job then that person must be checked properly. Gambling should be done with a good level of sanity, because going by your statements is as if some persons are seeing gambling as a poverty elevation program. Of course people make good money from gambling no matter your status in the society, rich or poor anybody can make good money from gambling, but that shouldn't be a yastic for you to become a nuisance in a gambling environment.

Once a person face a tough financial situation, there is really a possibility that they might consider gambling as one of their good and best last resort. Out of desperation to make money within a short period of time, they will risk their small earned money or will try to look for a capital to start gambling. I can't blame most of them why they become involved in gambling to solve their financial crisis since their mind is not working properly anymore.
That's why if we know some people who are dealing with that problem, rather than just ignore them or make fun of them, we should help them to understand the right path. It's ok to do gambling. It's not prohibited in most cases after all, but only if these people really know what they're doing.

i believe a lot of gamblers have that kind of thinking when they got into this habit. because for them, if they will their luck, they can have good money. but most of time, it will turn out to be not in their favour. actually, most of the time, they will be on the negative side of things. the usual dilemma is that most of them don't want to be bothered by their activities. they will only ask help if they are already too deep with their troubles.  

I myself am like that. I consider gambling as a job to earn extra income to pay for my family's expenses. I know this is risky because not only will I gain more income, but I will also lose my savings. But only gambling can make money quickly. I'm trying my luck. I am controlling myself well in gambling. If I'm lucky, I'll have some money. If I'm unlucky, I'll only lose what I can afford to lose. Because I only spent a small amount of savings to gamble. And I only spend a little time during the day to play.

Yes this is what most gamblers that don't have their own means to raise for their bet do. They go for daily jobs like laborer job to get money to eat and also bet to try their luck.

The point therefore is that people don't like to go through hard kind of jobs, they want to make easy money and they run under gambling to achieve that but the unfortunate thing is that gambling doesn't give you that kind of free money.because it is not a guarantee.

It is hard to make a living from gambling if you are thw player.

some gamblers who are into poker, or sportsbetting can still make good money. that is, if they have been here long enough making them as professionals and expert on these games. otherwise, if you venture the world of the usual casino games like dice, slots, crash and others, you won't go anywhere on these games if you won't stop at one point, especially if you are already on the winning side.

It is nice to read so many based replies from people who understand gambling is entertainment. Now if only traders could realize the same, and that exchanges are not much different from casinos…

Such people are helping bookies get richer, simply because they think gambling is an opportunity to make money because they don't really understand gambling. Ease of use does not mean ease of control, or more accurately, it is like a trap for prey to fall into.
Anyway, if from the beginning everyone has an interest in learning about any field, then the experience process will greatly reduce the number of addicts. I'm also a player aiming for comfort and fun, so I'm not stubborn about the idea that it brings income. Anyone who wants to do so should do so, as long as they behave responsibly and family.

Gambling is not a job, and people should know that, so they should not use gambling to make money. This is a mistake that people still make because it will cause problems for them until they end up addicted to gambling. But if they still have the desire to make money from gambling, it must be difficult to convince them to stop gambling and stay away from gambling. They will reject it and will instead be even more eager to try to win the gambling game. Moreover, they will see winners from gambling more often, making them even more curious about winning. If they can gamble in moderation without expecting much from gambling, they can enjoy gambling as entertainment and will let the wins come to them. By doing things like that, they can learn something from gambling by not gambling excessively. And this requires awareness from each person so that they can use gambling only as needed.

However, that doesn't mean we don't have people have made through gambling. We have people that has made fortune from gambling and they are making it as we speak right now from gambling, such people are destined to create wealth from gambling but they are few so judging by the numbers, gambling as a source of income isn't a thing to even try.
Since only very few people are able to make fortune from gambling, and only about 5%-13% gamblers are able to leave the casino with more money on their pockets than when they came in (researches don't reach an accurate percentage), we shouldn't think about gambling as a potential source of income or life changer. The chances are just too small to become reality, while the chances of a disaster are huge, if you keep gambling in a frequent basis with money you can't afford to lose.

As for side husle, I think it's good got the seasonal gamblers that has win to loss ratio of 4:1, they win 4 and lose 1 and they have been able to make money from gambling and doing their other jobs. Some even use the money they make from gambling to increase the size of their business and continue to run both of them and it works for them as a side husle.
If they are able to make profit, good for them. But as we said above, we shouldn't even try to think about gambling as a source of income, even as a source of extra income. These profitable gamblers you mentioned are probably inside that margin of 5%-13. In every cases, it's not going to work for most gamblers. If the goal here is to find a side hustle to increase monthly income, the individual should be seeking for it through working into something solid and real, instead of daydreaming about gambling possible outcomes.

Solving financial crisis? Sooner or later or not really that long, you would really be able to find yourself getting bust up with it and you would completely changed up those impressions on which it might lead into
that deep frustration and disappointment basing up on the situation that you are facing. Gambling is never been a job or something that you could really make money constantly on which it would really be just that right that you should really be having that kind of approach towards it on which it would really be just that right that you should really just that treat it for the sake of fun and not for income. This is where people do usually
ends up on getting wrecked with gambling because of those having wrong impressions towards it. This is why it would be always ideal that you should really be that realistic or something
that having that kind of sensible approach towards it because if you do make yourself  that delusional then this is where mistakes do start to mold on.

Dont let yourself that believe on things which arent that even realistic to believe on. Well, people do learn up on the harsh way on which they could really be possibly be able to
avoid those things if they did really just that let themselves mindful about into their own actions on which we do know that not all people
would really be having that self awareness.
