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.
It even sounds funny how anyone could consider becoming a professional gambler like what is even professional about gambling? We know that sometimes we get lucky and win even amounts that we didn't expect to win and it appears like we were given a free money and that's exactly how winning in gambling looks like. I have won some money in gambling in the past but that didn't mean I should now focus on gambling and discard jobs or other professions that gives me money that are certain and not depend on some uncertain amounts I could win if I become a professional gambler. Even a successful gambler doesn't rely on gambling alone as most of them take the winning from gambling and invest in other assets that generates steady income for them.
