I've heard the phrase "making a living in gambling," but I don't know if there are actually people here who have pulled it off. So, this thread is me asking, are there any users who can prove that it's possible to make a living from gambling?

I'm talking about gambling that's not purely based on luck. I'm sure you're aware of games where skill plays a role like poker and especially sports betting, which is pretty popular.

Is anyone here doing this long-term? If so, I'd love to hear your insights because I'm interested in following this path.

I read stories of employed youths in some third world countries that resorted to gambling to earn a living, of course this is very possible considering their local currencies against USD in other word earning some few dollars in gambling amount to a reasonable value in their local currency where the cost of living might might be low thus engaged fully in gambling to make end met, however I don't that is tenable in advance countries by relying solely on gambling to pay bills and other essential stuffs, even if there are gamblers who are involved in that act definitely few of them

Of course, in developed countries it is better to find employment in business, or in hiring with growth prospects, so you can earn much more with little risk. And plunging completely into gambling and trying to find earnings there is too risky an undertaking, you can devote a lot of time but in the end not earn anything, and in the worst case remain in the minus. In addition, an addiction may appear, which is extremely difficult to get rid of. But if in third countries they manage to earn money and they are happy with it, then let them do it. Although I would not call this a permanent income and perhaps in the future it will disappear, but today in the world there is so much uncertainty, even in ordinary work.
