Do you believe gambling can effectively serve as a viable source of income, or do the risks outweigh the potential rewards?
Looking forward to hearing your views!
Small percentage of gamblers win a lottery jackpot as well and live with that money rest of their lives. This doesn't make lottery a viable strategy.
I feel that maybe poker as a gambling is one way to make a viable career, but it's not for everyone, no matter how skilled you are. Because to win with poker, you need a worse players then you are to be a winner, and often they have to be unlucky too.
If there would be a viable strategy to win, it wouldn't be called gambling, and there would be no casinos hosting that game. The whole idea of casinos is to make profit, and if there would be a way to beat the casino on their game in a long run, why would they allow it? It would be just bad business.
However we try to look at this, gambling should never be treated as a means of livelihood or source of income for one to live and depend on, I don't know how to play poker and neither do I have any idea what the mechanics behind the game is, but then, as long as its a gambling game, one should not rely on it or treat it as a career simply because it's a game that has to do with the player's skill.
Many who are problem gamblers today are those who were gambling for the wrong reasons some time back, it is important we all understand what gambling is meant for and gamble for that reason alone without trying to change it.
