But I'm curious—has it ever crossed your mind to consider becoming a professional gambler, someone who makes a living out of it and enjoys a life of financial freedom?
This would be the worst mistake someone can make in his life. Thinking of being a professional gamblers only means that the person is thinking that he can make money from gambling. Successful gamblers are those that are making money from other sources and not thinking of gambling as a way of making money.
I agree, it's totally a ridiculous thing choice of profession, it's quite okay if you have something you are doing that gives you money asides from it, but if you consider making it a full time job then you might be disappointed.. starting up a gambling profession isn't easy, it requires time, effort and some capital.. what are my reasons for saying this, you need time to properly analyze games and also put in a lot of effort to do so because people must see that your winning percentage is high before they can think of paying you for predictions..you also need money to run adverts, so it's actually not easy if it's the only thing you plan to do in the future
