But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?
If so, why?
If not, please advise!
There is no guarantee of winning in gambling, after all gambling is not a career or job that requires you to do it full time. You can win a bet today, but you cannot win it the next day. If you depend on gambling for your financial needs (as a gambler) then I think you will really get into trouble.
Have fun gambling if you do, but don't make gambling a source of income because you never know whether you will win or lose. It would make more sense to trade as a full-time job instead of gambling, so think wisely.
The most funniest thing about gambling is that no matter how professional you are at it, you can't have an 100% winning streak. You will definitely lose somethings. Although one can easily earn from gambling if we'll managed but taking it as a full time job may be risky.
It will be very bad for someone who chooses gambling as a full-time job because one cannot win consistently by gambling for a long time. And one who gambles for a long time becomes deeply addicted to gambling. And one who chooses gambling as a full time job must gamble at least 8 hours daily as an official time and if he gambles for such a long time he will become deeply addicted and face huge losses. so gambling should never be chosen as a full time job
Strangely as this might sound, there are people who gamble as their source of livelihood and they are fine. You can investigate that in your own way, and you will discover that there indeed exists career gamblers. But can I depend on gambling as my only source of living? Never. I can't advise anyone to do so as well as this will only amount to irresponsibility, nothing else. Gambling can only favour a very few percentage of people for a living and will disfavour most of them who attempt it. Also, it is a few who have all it takes to gamble and give it the right fight and still manage to earn consistently and manage their portfolio alongside for a long period of time without them losing focus or getting emotional in such a way that causes them to lose like the regular gamblers.
I never see this coming in my own gambling visions and I know that it is a risk too high that I would not even give a thought not to talk of practising it. Nonetheless, it is late already, I have other things to do for a living aside from gambling, so I can only imagine this, I can never risk it no matter what. The more you depend on gambling, the more you are likely to lose focus and get emotional because you will need the money, and when it is not forthcoming, that is where the issue starts. I view this as a practical irresponsibility because gambling in the first place should be meant for fun or passive income if someone would ever get money from it, and not for a sole means to depend upon for a living.
