I'd like to clarify that this topic is distinguished from businesses or entrepreneurs involved in gambling as businesses, such as casino companies, etc., but with a focus on gamblers. I know there are many people who regard themselves as professionals at playing gambling games, but do you ever think that one can make gambling a full-time job and career because of his or her deep knowledge of the games? Can someone bet with little or no loss because it is one of the most unpredictable games to play?

Gambling to my understanding, is a trial-and-error game with uncertain outcomes, unpredictability, and luck. Therefore, professional gamblers must exhibit a deeper than usual understanding of the games, the statistical probabilities, and a high level of risk management skills.

However, it is critical to realize the risks involved, which include unstable financial circumstances and potential addiction problems. So, pursuing a gambling career should be approached with serious caution, and gamblers ought to be well-informed about the accompanying problems. Furthermore, I believe that having various sources of income and taking calculated risks will be highly beneficial.

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!

Yes, definitely. There are two main ways that I've seen people turn gambling into a career.

First is that they become traders at sportsbooks like Bet365. Essentially when you place a bet on Bet365 there are often traders who review your bet and see if they are getting good betting flow. They have less of an opinion on whether or not a team is going to win a particular game but more of a focus on managing their positions so that they don't go bankrupt when a long-shot team wins.

Second is games of skill, such as poker, and advantage play in Blackjack. People can make a reliable living with these games if they are good.

Yes, there are only the games on which i do consider out to be something that you could really be able to deal with in longer runs on which you could really actually be able to take advantage if you are really that having the skills or simply you are really that good at it. There are people who might be able to have this kind of advantage on which they could be able to sustain and could really make this as their main source of income.
Well, its not guaranteed because we do know that luck factor would really be that still a huge relevance if we do speak about gambling and this is something that people should really be realizing.

The wrong thing on here is that there are people who do have those kind of thoughts and thinking that they could really be able to make money or income with those gambling game types
such as dice or roulettes or slots on which it is really just that too wrong on having those kind of impressions on which instead you would be able to make money, you would really be rather losing up bigtime
on which this is something that very normal to happen by most gamblers because they do have those kind of wrong thinking about on what gambling should be.
