I have added a little glossary to the first post now.
I will list some disadvantages of being a professional gambler, without explanations for the time being. If you have questions about a particular disadvantage, feel free to ask.
- Not contributing to society (Discussed already starting here)
- Living on the financial edge (Discussed a bit here already)
- Ignorance from friends and family
- Being on duty 24/7
- No paid vacations
- No social insurance
- People don't understand what you are doing and are not interested due to not understanding
- Working in an often shady considered business and a grey area
- Huge mental pressure
- Bullying from authorities
