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.
If you talk about skill, well, skill is something a person have learnt and mastered how to do, so personally, I think it's very possible for a person to make a living off gambling by strictly focusing on skilled games. But on the other hand, such a person must ensure he or she has mastered that skill so well and get a good level of guarantee that if he or she plays (for example) 10 rounds of games, he or she will confidently win 6 or 7 out of the 10 rounds, this is the only way a person can actually make a living off gambling.
And speaking of betting on sports, betting on sports is not a skilled game or a game of skill, sports betting is a game of knowledge, you put your knowledge in sports to work and not skill, and because of this, I personally don't think it's possible for anyone to make a good living off sports betting alone, as sometimes, predicting a game correctly can be very difficult, it's possible to go on a long streak of loses because winning in sports betting still has some strings of luck attached to it., it's a kind of half luck-based game and half knowledge-based game.
