I met an old friend who we separated for about 4 years because I relocated to a very distant place. We sat and discussed for hours and I discovered that he is a professional gambler. I mean he has nothing else doing apart from gambling and yet he is leaving well and comfortable.

At the course of our discussion he told me everything he planned to achieve this 2022 with gambling money. And to my greatest surprise he has already achieved more than 80% of his plans.
I was surprised how someone will plan with money he is not sure of.

Let's discuss, does anyone here plan with gambling money yet to be won?

I consider this strategy, when relying on money that has not yet been won, to be very risky. No matter how professional you are, it can always happen that luck will turn its back on you and you will be left without a win. This means that you will lose the deposit for future bets, which will force you to deviate from the original plan. It seems to me that this strategy is not very stable and reliable, relying only on luck and luck. It is better to plan your goals based on your existing budget and yours, and not on hypothetical possible winnings.

It is definitely risky but there are many people that live their lives not knowing how much money they are going to earn next month and they are fine with a life like that.

I have to confess that such a life is not really for me since despite being in a decent financial position I am always worrying about the future, and I am sure that I would be unable to deal with that kind of uncertainty, however not everyone is like me and there are many occupations which require accepting such a thing, as it is the case of trading for example.
