It can be done, but it should not be the objective of anyone to get money from gambling is a consecutive way. I have a friend who does not gambler in a regular basis, he was invited to a big casino in the city where he lives in nowadays. He played blackjack a couple of times and ended up winning around 25$, to this day he has not gone back there and gamble again, because it is not something he does regularly.
If we only take a look at the numbers, he actually made money from gambling, so it is technically possible. It is a completely different thing to life off gambling or expect to solve one's problems using gambling as a tool to do so. It can be easy to understand to us, but unfortunately in this planet one can find uneducated people who has not been talked about all this, they only payed attention to the big wins that are advertised on TV.
Your friend manages to treat gambling as entertainment. It was shown that he doesn't gamble regularly and when he does win, he can get out of gambling and hasn't gambled again. This shows that your friend has good self-control and that's something we should do too.
But your friend might also find it difficult to make money from gambling and can make $ 25 daily. Gambling is not for making money but for fun so gamblers should know that and not try hard to make money. And people are indeed drawn to gambling because of the big wins they see on TV that make them think they can be like that too.
Gambling without good self-control will always lead you to lose your money, instead of having some fun you''' find yourself
having an issue with controlling your emotions.
Something that is really hard to resist when you are already attached to gambling, same with you. It's better to look for other options
in terms of daily income.
Using gambling for this purpose, the risk is always higher compared to the chance of gaining that rearwards.
These problems arise because we lose self-control, so we will instead feel increasing emotions. And if we can't quit gambling, it will only make us run out of money quickly because our only desire at that point is to win money.
They might succeed more if they could find money elsewhere and not have to gamble just to make money. Instead of getting a lot of problems that we might not be able to overcome later, we should stay away from these problems so that our lives are also calm.
It is easier to have self control.when one does not gamble regularly, as it is the case of my friend. So in theory, one can actually end up winning money from gambling if one has a strike of luck and decide to quit afterwards. Which is difficult, as someone explained in other thread here in the gambling session, compulsive gambling can start in the aftermatch of a good session with positive net results.
I have myself lost some self control after half hour of rolling dices, thankfully I am very far from considering myself a gambling addicted person.
When we have good self-control, things turn out well for us, because if we lose we feel good, since it is something that was likely to happen, there is nothing strange there, but when a person wins and gets excited and feels invincible, You can do very silly things like double the bet to win double, and so on, I think there is no self-control there and it would be wasting the good luck you have had, personally I am honest, I have felt on many occasions that yes, yes. I've lost control a bit, but when I see that I'm losing a lot, I've left it there, I stay with my bad temper, yes, that's agglomeration and I can't help it, and say rude things to myself, but I assume my loss In the same way, sometimes I have two beers, watch a good movie, or why not, go out and eat a pizza with the family to ease the bad feeling, but I get something positive out of the negative, and obviously learning what I don't should I never do so that the same mistake is not repeated, even though I know a lot of things, sometimes one says, well, are we going to risk seeing what comes out? and well, sometimes those risks are not fruitful, but sometimes it is worth doing.
Now I like your friend's attitude, because it is a very calm attitude, it is an attitude that gives importance to him at the moment and that he did not take it into his daily life as a necessity, thus avoiding addiction to gambling altogether, I cannot denying in blackjack you can win a lot of money, and $25 is not bad at all, it is something that I would be proud of, however, these types of people are calm, they do not get carried away by things that are bad, but they themselves They have a discipline for all that, that is what you have to see, and that often goes into the personality, I imagine that when he drinks alcohol, he does not get drunk, because he knows the consequences it brings, it is very good to take things with the best attitude of the world in order not to fall into bad streaks and know when to retire, so it is good to copy some things from others that are positive for us.
