This is like a reconsideration question for some gamblers that are gambling to make a living.
Considering that the cost of living is very different in the various country that you guys are messaging from, don't bother too much about the amount that I have mentioned on the title of this topic, it's just a random figure. Depending on the cost of living in your country, are you making a specific amount that is enough to pay for all your needs every month or do you know someone that has such breakthrough through gambling?
Gambling is not that easy to win such amount in a month. As a matter of fact I don't think if anyone here has won UpTo $5k in a month. They may have win such amount once in there lifetime and has never won such amount again. Winning that amount takes only luck expecialy when the person is staking with lesser amount. But if the person is betting or gambling like $2k by 2.5odd or 3odd regularly them he may win such amount but the probability to win regularly is slim.
