I believe there are many gamblers here in the forum who regularly share their wins and losses. 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?

No.
I am okay to be the normal gambler that have no obligation to make that much with gambling. I am okay to just be entertained and bet whenever it is necessary for me to. I want to be in that state that I am enjoying financial freedom but not through gambling and whenever I have that, I don't think that I'll often gamble. It's the fastest way to get sucked.

Besides, it would be very stressful to start a career as a professional in my opinion, just think about it... it would be something you used to do with spare money and for fun and suddenly becomes you livelihood. I don't think it is for everyone, it would make more sense to me one becoming a trader than a gambler for a living.
Besides, I have got the impression those who already have a career with gambling either have other sources of income to make up for any losses or they are professional poker players, where there is some strategy and skill which can turn the game on ones favor.
I don't think it would be possible for anyone to live off spinning slots...

I agree that it's not for everyone. I am okay having fun and doing all of those bets win or lose. Unlike when I chose to be a professional gambler, I've got metrics and money to chase and I don't like the stress of it. Maybe it's worth it when I win big but it's not for me to chase those losses that I've made because the stress and emotional being is more important to me nowadays. There is so much to this life to think of and not with the chasing of losses and some quota within the day.
