Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling

Gambling cannot be a career. Gambling is played for fun and entertainment. To relieve one's stress. It's not something to be made as a source of income. You can earn a lot by gambling, but that doesn't mean it's a job. Come on, man! Gambling means betting on something of your life. How can one bet on their life? They have to feed their family, don't they? If I were to make gambling my only source of income, then I would be the foolishest person in this world.

I would also add that gambling can be seen as hope.

Hope that at some point in the future things might be better if you are lucky.

That's what casinos provide, hope, for many people. It costs a lot of money in the end, but the effect on the brain is real.

Most people see gambling as a hope for luck and we all can't know when we will get that luck and if we do, it's best not to continue gambling. And if we stay there, we will experience losses because we have lost a lot of money and it will become a burden of problems in our life.

What I've experienced with gambling is that it's indeed a game of luck but it would be a misconception to say that gambling relies on luck alone. Gamblers must be knowledgeable and tactical as well and find a way to engage in gambling in the best way that would not make them deliberately fail. I know some people who are gambling and are winning consistently, but because of greed, they would eventually lose all or some that they've lost due to over-gambling. In this case, your advice is very valid, and it's part of the tactical response I pointed to because if you are tactical, you will not only be engaging but also managerial, which demands to manage yourself and your money to know when to continue playing and stop, and not let emotion comes in.
