lol thers no such thing as "professional gamblers" unless you're talking about sports betting or poker. gambling has a % chance of winning usually around 50% and making a living from gambling is just bad. you will have the same chance of losing money than getting money.

Of course I am talkingabout Poker players, that is gambling.  There are also professional blackjack players.  There are tons of different pros so that is it.

It is not possible for anybody to get living from gambling unless you don't run a business based on gambling otherwise it doesn't has any sense to even think to relay on gambling.At least to me seems impossible even if anyone claims to do so.

What about the thousands of people doing exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting?  Probably even more than thousands of people.  Tons of people everyday are professional gamblers, they have no other job and are living probably better off than a lot of us.

You can make often some profit from gambling but you can not get living just by gambling even you are very good gambler.That is simple enough to understand you as player can not win always and to get living you need some constant source of income.

if you are relly lucky you can if you do a parlay and the odds is 100 and you bet for 1 btc :p but if you do it in dice or poker it can be a day that you lose all.

There is no differences between to do a 1btc parlay with odds 100 and do a 1btc bet on dice with 100x payout because you can lose all your money on that parlay as well. Both are the same "RISKY" bet, both need a huge luck to win.

Can a full time gambler lead a life just from the earning from gambling. I think it's possible when we get some experience over time. But some of friends claim they are all successful from day one itself.
It would be nice if you share your experience whether a modern days internet gambling will provide enough and regular money for getting a living out of it.

I think it's not impossible, but not so easy same time; with gambling you can make great amounts if you win and so you can lead your and your family life, but in the other hand you can lose everything also, so it depend with your experience , your luck

Yeah living on Gambling is an absurd idea , i find it useless , i recently won 1.8BTC , which is about 400$+ , and i was in stress whole day about the result of match , i could have lost them all, and my friend earns from work around 35000 $ , and he has no tension throughout the day.
which is better?

that's true, you shouldn't make a gamble as your living it won't work because you versus long run = bankruptcy i believe on it and i do gamble for my spare time not more than that. and so far gamble still make me happy.

Exhausted
It is possible. There are some professional poker players doing nothing but just play poker for a living. IIRC I read that Micon has also been a professional poker player for years and has won some good money.

Having that said, something is possible doesn't mean you can or you should do it yourself.

Living of gambling you been watching too many films. Gambling is totally luck and you may have a good day or weeks or even a month but in the end you will be in the gutter with all the rest staring at the bottom of your whisky glass.

Films and real lifes are really different. I watched and liked so many films about gambling. Sometime gamblers can be a millioner and sometimes they can be a poor guy.
In fact, who can control his/her feeling, he/she can be successfull in gamble. But this is the gold rule for to live from gamble.

You are daydreaming? There are no people that dare to place 1 btc with 100 odds. That is suicide thing to do. with 1 btc you can do 50 50 chance with a little houseedge may be you can win it but at least there are no one will do with 100 odds game except they make a small bet

I can always appreciate a good title typo. They're my farovite.
Seriously though anything is possible when you leave your life up to luck, however you won't regularly be pleased with the results. I have known a man to raise 3-kids on just gambling alone, but that doesn't make it a wise decision and that doesn't make him a consistent provider. Do as you wish, but you are better off with hard work and finding the right niche.

Of course it's possible.

It's a lot easier if you own a casino or are a bookie, because it's a lot easier for them to find +EV bets, but it is is very difficult.

You aren't going to make a living playing dice, but with lots of hard work and patience and studying you can make a living on sports betting, poker, video poker (with certain payouts/promos), blackjack (at the casino, very carefully) and other bets with a positive expectation.

Making a +EV bet does not mean that you will never lose, but you have a lot better chance of making money that way than by making -ev bets.

Also note that possible does not mean likely or easy. If you sit at a poker table you will be playing against several other people trying to take your money. Betting on sports means searching for mistakes by bookmakers, finding arbitrage opportunities, and hoping you don't get robbed/kicked out of sports books. In video poker you need to find the right machine and play correctly. Blackjack you need to count cards and hope no one figures out what you are doing before they ban you or shuffle the shoe.

it is most definitely impossible i doubt that someone can earn a living just from gambling on a casino game though if you play poker its possible as a lot of people make their fortune with poker

Nope it is possible if you know how to control your winning and your losing. Most people said impossible but there is already a proof that some of them are using gambling as their finance and until now they are still doing that and their family are great so I dont agree about this impossible thing
