long term profitable = yes.
I don't think anyone can make a profit in the long term from gambling but in the short, term may be yes. If anyone gambler continuously then mostly they will lose money and house will win in the end because gambling needs a luck and that luck will not support every day for gamblers.
Yes that is true that it is not going to be a profitable thing to do in a long term goal if you are going to hope for gambling.
If you are planning to have long term profit better if you are going to invest in a much profitable way like trading or holding.
Because in gambling the chance of losing is much higher than trading or holding.
