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.
There are already a lot of people who get rich because of gambling, even if there are so many people that against with the gambling, I can still say that there is good thing in gambling especially if you don't lose so much money and time here, there are already some articles that I have read about gamblers who became successful because of betting, such as Don Johnson who became rich because of the game blackjack. Billy Walters who became rich because of  both golf and sports betting, so by that thing we cannot say that gambling is not good at all.

Those who live out of gambling are those successful ones, here is the link of successful gamblers:

Well there are tons of professional poker players that manages to win hundreds of thousands, if not millions in one seating/tournament. There are also those who live off purely of betting on sports and/or other events. One notable person I follow who lives his life through playing poker professionally is Erik Seidel. We all know his magic hands and how much WSOP bracelets he have in his arsenal (Cool. You also have Daniel Negreanu who bagged 6 WSOP bracelets and was considered one of the best poker players in 2014. It is possible though again, you need to have an extreme amount of luck, experience, skill, and of course, starting money in order to live off your life with just gambling.
Well said mate, I think those who can win a hundred thousands are those gamblers who play games that requires skills and techniques because it is really hard to win the game if it only relies on the luck of a gamblers.
