I have seen some gamblers that have series of gambling skills and experience in playing games of different kinds, they are gambling not because they needed money, but they try to explore for more potentials through gambling and learn to widens their scope in it, this can also be related to other abilities and competencies, in which they use the ideas and scope in gambling and apply accordingly in various aspects of life, there are lots of benefits in gambling, because playing varieties of games helps develop our minds in preparation to doing other things.
I wish I had that kind of skill, the kind where if I needed money, I could just gamble and win. But sadly, I'm not one of those few lucky or gifted ones. I do believe there are people out there who actually make a living from gambling, and maybe life is easier for them because while most of us are losing, they’re winning consistently. Still, in the bigger picture, the sportsbooks are the ones that always win. They profit regardless of the outcome because they collect juice or vig from both sides of the bet.
