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.

I don't think so. Their income must be irregular. It's actually fine. Freelancers do have irregular income too. The problem is gambler is risking their capital. Once they had a bad streak and lost their capital, it could mean losing your income source too.

A question.
Do you think that professional poker players can be categorised as gamblers when they put some actual math into the game? Of course the gambling component is there when you need to play a flip, but there is more edge against the house (which in this case is the playing field).
Your thoughts please.

Of course, why would you think otherwise? Even if they're counting the cards, it's still a game of chance. They're just counting their risk, will it be a good bet, etc. It doesn't make the game free of luck factor either.
