Just curious here.
I know there are tons of way to live.
but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?
people who make a living onlyout of gambling (online or on rl)?
resources and comments on that are really welcome.
Well there's a lot of gamblers but not that profession. I saw a lot of gamblers and their profession is business man. Mostly gamblers do gambling just to keep away all their stress from their work but if that person makes gambling as a way of earning money and he or she do it everyday then its not for fun anymore it is now addiction and not profession
In my opinion, Gambling only to win and not for the fun will likely not cause addiction.
Cause of gambling Addiction = finding more pleasure in gambling? If gambling is fun than other things you do, you will most likely become addicted to it. There is also high tendency for sad people who find pleasure in gambling to become addicted.
So one of the best ways to help a gambling addict is to have him/her gradually replace his gambling addiction with more pleasurable and non addictive things. I believe gambling addiction can be treated within 1 o 2 months of doing this.
