I have no doubts there are indeed some gamblers out there which can indeed make a living out of gambling, but how many of those that try actually reach their goal? While the lifestyle may seem attractive to some, very few have what is needed to achieve this goal, and this is because most people are used to work a 9 to 5 kind of job in which they know in advance how much money they are going to be paid, but a professional gambler has no idea at all of how much and when they will earn any money, adding a great deal of uncertainty to their lives.
Actually making a living from gambling is not the right move because in gambling there is no certainty that gamblers can get wins more often so they can collect profits consistently.
In the gambling industry the only ones who can turn a profit as a source of income are the casino owners and the team that operates the casino.
I'm not sure gamblers can make a living from gambling, there are many gamblers that I know and they always experience economic difficulties if they really prioritize gambling as a place to work or make a living.
It's better to have a steady job and make gambling a place of fun so if you're lucky there will be a win that will generate some profits.
Professional gamblers, they don't think of making a living from gambling because they only use gambling to make it a place of entertainment and test their luck.
