I admitted that gambling offers opportunities to win big money but people must realize they can not win it for many reasons. There are other things that can help them earn a lot of money and if they already have one job, they can search for other jobs to have a chance to earn money. If they depend on gambling to make money, they need to be ready to feel disappointed because what they want can not always happen.

People don't want to earn more money, they want to earn much more money, they want to make their dreams come true and they know it's not with a second or third job they will be able to realize that. Slaves don't become rich by working they stay poor, that's why people like to gamble, they just need to dream.

They really should change their way to earn money from gambling as that will be hard for them to get it. They can get the win money sometimes but not for many times so they should realize the truth. A dream can not get anything IF they do not want to do something and only use gambling to earn money.

But slaves can change their lives from poor becoming rich if they want to work hard. If they can not be rich in their ages, maybe their children will have that chance and when they can see their children have that, they will be happy and proud. They will be happier if their children can become rich because of their hard work.

I am playing gambling because of the fun thing and not because of wanting to make money. I never think about winning much money because I know that I do not have big luck to win that money. But if somehow, I can win a lot of money, that is a bonus for me.

I never really understood people who make a living on gambling. I get that some people want to do that, and maybe you can do it on sports betting or even poker if you are really good at it but the idea of making a living on house edge games? That just doesn't make sense to me at all. We are talking about something that is beyond my understanding and that will always stay like that forever.

I get that some people think they can beat the house edge and make a profit, which does happen time to time, we all had good wins in our life before but the reality is that we are talking about long term here when we talk about making a living. Long term could not be profitable, in the long run you will lose because of the house edge and you should not be aiming at making a living on something that is mathematically impossible. Some will argue that they have done it, but that is why it is long term, even if you managed to do it so far, you will eventually fail.

We might not understand why people want to make a living through gambling but maybe they get tempted because they see some people can earn money from gambling so they want to try it and see how good their luck is in gambling. Besides that, we can not blame them if they have that thought and still want to try it but we should remind those closest to us and advise them not to try.

We can have a chance to beat the house edge but not many times because the house will not let that happen to them. The house wants to make a big profit by inviting more gamblers to play at their place. But if someone still trying to play gambling because of wanting to make a living from gambling, we can not do anything except let them try it.
