You have a point on that. But that's if a gambler will only focus on being a professional gambler. I bet there are those who also have a day job while also gambling in their free time.
He has a good point and he stayed on what this thread is all about which are professional gamblers. Those whole make money or a lining from gambling are the ones called a professional gamblers. Those that do it for fun will likely be losing as they will not really care about the losses, unlike professional gamblers. The future is uncertain for such a person and that is what he posted which is very true, especially if the person is not having other means of making money.
I agree that there's no future in doing it mainly. There's no pension, but there are taxes.
This is true but there are like three countries that gambling is not taxed. Gambling supposed not to be taxed from gamblers but just from the gambling sites. The governments that tax gambling are thieves. But if it is tax free, it is something that is not still good.
