Gambling As a Profession:
Gambling or betting is unlawful engaging in playing,
operating, or assisting in operating a game of chance
for money or some other stake. It one easy way of
earning money but here one looses while other wins. But
people who are addicted to
gambling are at greatly increased risk for such negative
outcomes as divorce, bankruptcy, child abuse, domestic
violence, crime, and it can reach upto suicide also.
How can you make gambling as a
profession?
Many people every year
move to Las Vegas in the hopes of becoming professional
gamblers but unfortunately very few people manage to do
it. However becoming a
gambling
professional is very difficult and there are a few
essential things you need to do to have any chance of
success at all.
First thing you
absolutely need to have is an adequate bankroll before
you start gambling in earnest in order to survive losing
streaks. Gambling is a profession that always has its
ups and downs so you must be financially secured for
that. Every player will have their winning and losing
streaks hence a player needs an adequate bankroll to
sustain them through losing streaks. Most of the times,
many people start out with too little a bankroll, and
when they start to lose they run out of money before
they can start winning again.
Then the second thing to
be done is that a person really needs to either live in
Las Vegas and Atlantic City or at least plan to stay in
these cities for several months at a time because a
player needs to play many times in order to win enough
money to sustain their livelihood.
Then the third step is
that a player needs to take advantage of the casinos and
often casinos in both Las Vegas and Atlantic City offer
incentives to players who play at their particular
casino. One
advantage is that each month casinos in Las Vegas offer
promotions such a triple slot club points or drawing
tickets for a chance to win cash and prizes in drawings.
Last but not the least a
player needs to learn which games to play and how to
play them in order improve their chances of winning.
There are many books written by current professionals
telling people what games to play or how to play them in
order to maximize their chances of winning and one of
the best games to play is video poker. Despite of these
things, becoming a professional gambler can be fun and
rewarding but a player just needs to be realistic in
knowing what it will take to become a successful one;
and be willing to spend many hours in front of machines
or sitting at a table gambling.
A player should always
remember and accept that they will not always win.
Everybody, even current pros, has losing sessions or
streaks and it is part of being human but if you do the
things listed above, the chances are good you can come
out ahead of the casinos in the long run and make
gambling your profession.
