This is the first ever decent threat that I ever saw in this 100% spam board.

No threat was ever decent. Kidding! And I agree with you 100%. Wink

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

The list is surprisingly long. And what's on the other end of the seesaw? Is it only this:

But this is my job now, I love to do it, I am happy with it and can't think of any other job, that would give me such joy (and freedom).

Is it therefore worth it?

Based on the list of disadvantages, I feel that you are constantly pressured not just mentally but also socially, financially, and even emotionally. You're living on a financial edge and seem alone and lonely in your 24/7 duty because friends and family are ignorant about what you are doing. I hope I'm wrong but that's what this list evoke in me. How could you even share your joy in winning a game when the other people around you are clueless?

And I'd like to get enlightened more on "Bullying from authorities."
