Can gambling be taken as a profession?

[Primo1760]

Gambling has started to gain a lot of popularity among people nowadays. Nowadays gambling has become so accessible that anyone can gamble online. Now it is so convenient that if you want identity at home, you can gamble secretly. Is it possible to make a permanent income through gambling? What is your opinion?

Gambling is primarily for entertainment and gambling should never be viewed as a means of making money. Those who see gambling as a way to make money are the ones who become addicted and suffer the most in life. I think it is never possible to make a permanent income through gambling. In making a permanent income, people become addicted, so instead of a permanent income, they suffer more. No matter how easy gambling is, don't use this game outside of entertainment.

"Is it possible to make a permanent income through gambling? What is your opinion?

No one can make a permanent income through gambling,because the money you lose in gambling is always more than the money you gain. So for this reason nobody can make a permanent income through gambling. That's my opinion.

I too will give a big no to this question. The reason is same as you said that the winner in gambling is always the house not the gambler. The games played in casinos are created in a way that gives the house a mathematical advantage or gives house definite edge over the gambler. Better take gambling as entertainment and invest only as much as you can afford to lose.

Gambling can never provide a stable income, on the contrary, if the gambler starts losing more, he will lose his wealth by taking gambling as a profession. Taking up gambling as a profession makes the gambler aggressive to earn income. Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment that avoids exposure to large losses. I have seen in my country all those who wanted to take up gambling as a profession have become worse off and suffered a lot financially.

Many bettors dream of being able to do that, some have succeeded and there are certainly many who have failed.
This profession has no school and no guidebook that can truly guide someone to become a pro bettor and make a living from gambling.
I think only experience and strong instincts can enable someone to make gambling a profession.

Here is the story about Billy Walter, he is one of the most successful American sports bettors of all time.

I couldn’t support it,  Because gambling always risky and uncertain. so I think gambling cannot be taken as a profession. I think gambling like a torch. Either you will win or you will fully loser. So gambling never be a profession I think.
I think anyone can take gambling for extra income. but it should not taken as permanent income. Because it will be. risky.

[Captain Corporate]

I have always sided with no to be fair. I understand that some people think that it depends, because maybe casino games can't be done professionally since they will make you lose anyway, but many think that sports betting and poker are two games that you can do professionally, and has been done before. But I still think that, unless you are some pro poker player that gets staked and all, then you probably will not make money from it, and getting there is also quite tough as well, and sports betting is not sustainable, while you may end up with profit time to time, you can't make that as a job for yourself.

W e got proof many people loss their money, assets and all important thing in their life with gambling and why has ideas to make gambling as profession? its not difference with the system on sport betting or casino games during still in the gambling can't guarantee with the winning or profitable and can't be as profession. Try some thing with less risk such as working at the office have guarantee with how much salary earn every month become as profession than make gambling without any promising with how more winning bet than loss?

I will tell you directly that your idea of wrong gambling is never to be a gambler just for fun. Why would a gambler risk the maximum of his money when there is so much fun to be had for free. People who think that gambling should only be taken as entertainment I think have no gambling experience. If I gamble, of course I don't want to lose money, and I take entertainment by losing money. Entertainment in gambling is what you will find when you earn profits in gambling. Everyone gets entertainment by making profit but no one can ever get entertainment by making loss. If you feel that gambling should be taken only as fun, then you should take any other game as fun except gambling that involves no risk of money.

I agree with you. It is better to have a job where your salary or wages is certain rather than depending on gambling. In my thinking, approaching gambling as a profession is like working but not certain of pay. This thought is predicated on the belief that winning is not guaranteed and so this unpredicted nature of gambling makes gambling impossible to be relied upon as a profession.

Well nothing is really certain though. You could be employed today then lose your job 3 months from now but yeah some people love to take some risks for sure. Poker is also a form of gambling and there are numerous people that makes living from poker so yeah if you are good at it then you could probably do it unless its a 100% luck based game then its a no

you are right taken gambling as a prefession won't be a smart one at all, true that gambling can't change someone live by just hitting the jackpot. But at same time ruin ones live expecially those that normally gambling irresponsibly. Is better to have a good source of income than to take gambling as a professional. Because if one take gambling as a professional, such individual would endup gambling irresponsibly. Just as you have said gambling as a profession is like working but not certain of pay. Having a good sources and same time gamble with funds you can afford to lose is just the best.

Poker in online gambling places is not as easy as imagined because the cards used have very different patterns, and I prefer sports gambling which for me is easy to predict because I can see directly how the team is doing.

For me I think games like poker , roulette and other casino card games are all system designed including dice , I find really really difficult to even believe that some persons can actually predict or speculate the outcome to these games most especially the roulette games because even if you decide to study the system that's behind the rolling of the balls it's still going to be difficult to understand the ethics behind it but sports like soccer , atleast player and teams stats can be used to aid or guide in making the right decisions.

Taking gambling as a profession is a topic that elicits a range of opinions and considerations. Can it be a profession? Technically, Yes.
Professional poker players, for example, sports bettors and others in similar niches sometimes manage to earn a living through their gambling activities. They often apply rigorous strategies, deep understanding of the games, and disciplined bankroll management to succeed.
But, I also think that it's exceptional, because the number of people who can successfully make a permanent income from gambling is quite small compared to the number who attempt it.
From other side, many gambling activities are primarily based on luck, making sustained success difficult to achieve.

So my opinion, while its possible for a select few to make a permanent income through professional gambling, it requires a combination of skill, discipline, financial acumen, and a bit of luck. For most people, gambling should be approached as a form of entertainment rather than a viable career path.

For me, whatever the form of gaming, making gambling a profession or place to make money is an unwise step at all, for me this is very different from work.

How can we expect income from something based on luck? and also I see that no one really has a permanent win in gambling, instead they experience constant losses. From there I concluded that this could not be a profession.
