Lastly , gambling is not a career and I have never seen any portfolio that bears gambling as an occupation or a means for livelihood.
This sums it all up. Gambling isn’t a job. On occasion, one can win some some money here and there but as it doesn’t come regularly and at a certain time and no one literally employed you, it just cannot be said to be employment.
And then talking about starting a career is out of the question. A job is supposed to pay you for your time or/and services rendered without you requiring you to part with your money. With gambling, you part with some money hoping to win and can still end up losing. Gambling simply isn’t a job.
I've always said that gambling is an extra activity that should never be taken too seriously, not to mention believing that one can be making their life's earnings through it. No wonder some people will be so disappointed by gambling by believing that since it is an avenue to make money, they can now rely solely on it, that's just a rubbish thought. Gambling is risky and no one knows it all. It is not an activity that will be guaranteed in terms of earnings, so why waste your life on it? The best is to have a good job that is reliable and still gamble if you want, and if gambling earns you money in this sense, it is the best because you will never depend on it for your daily bread. If one could do otherwise, then the desperation would be high, and I can assure the person that the time he needs money desperately is the time gambling will fail him.
What kind of life is that? It gets aggravated if the person is a family man or has a lot of dependence, can gambling help cater for all their needs? I am certain that it is not possible, not under such pressure. Fine, one may be lucky at times and hit that Jackpot in a big form, but such a situation is not common, and if such a person is not even careful enough, all the money won, or almost all of it could be wasted in subsequent gambling. But the wise one will invest most of the money even as he continues to gamble. Now, with the investment included, this still means that such a person cannot ever rely on gambling alone to be happy in life. By the way, that's an example of a lucky gambler, but most people are not lucky. If the lucky person also mismanages, that opportunity may never come ever again, so relying solely on gambling will never guarantee you a good living.
Gambling as your primary job? Bad concept. Very terrible. Smart people know gambling is entertainment. Consider it a spectacle, not a paycheck. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you a bridge. These gambling houses, they're not charities. They make money, not give it away. The house always wins. No secret formula or method can beat the system. Luck isnt reliable, guys.
But hey, if you've got a good job, money coming in, then go ahead, have some fun gambling. Earn some additional cash? Great! Dont rely on it or use it as a crutch. The jackpot tales? They're lottery winners, not average. If you win large, be smart. Make it work by investing and growing it. You construct a future and win long-term that way. Smart money management is more important than luck. Its true, folks.
