这是一个值得认真考虑的问题，我们一次又一次问这个问题，现在我们需要更详细地思考背后的原因。你可以阅读下面由我们总结出来的文字。

　　赌博可以作为职业吗？我们提供意见是否定的。赌博不应该被作为职业，不应该作为谋生的手段。赌博应该是一种娱乐形式，而且你只能打赌你赔得起钱。

　　以赌博为生的生活是黑色的。

　　扑克是一种流行的赌博游戏，例如21点游戏，有些人把玩21点游戏作为一种赚钱的手段，无可厚非。也由不少人在21点的游戏过程中赢得不少奖金，但效率总是伴随着风险的，也许哪一天你会倾家荡产。也由以体育博彩为职业的赌徒。外汇交易已经日益普及，通常地，外汇交易员会告诉你外汇交易进行的不是赌博游戏活动，但我们不能苟同，外汇交易市场市场实际就是一个赌场，而且是一个非常大的赌场。

　　成功的职业赌徒屈指可数，而他们大部分的时间都挣扎在黑色投注上。所谓黑色投注，是隐藏着巨大风险的投注，他们承受这巨大的生存压力，如果他们想依靠赌博游戏营生，而且赌博游戏本身还有很多因素需要考虑，特别是体育赌博游戏，常常伴随着很多不可预知的因素，例如如天气情况，赛马的健康状况，运动员的脚伤等等。想要在赌博游戏中取胜，就需要有能时时保持冷静的头脑。

　　尽管以赌博为生的生活是黑色的，但依然有很多人喜欢把赌博作为终身职业。我们给职业赌徒的一般建议是：在你的账户中，应至少有1年的生活储蓄。这是为了保证你的基本生活。

　　职业赌徒还应该制定出一个商业计划书，和一个备用计划书，当风险来临时启用的计划书。赌博生活会令人难以置信的压力，但保持一个舒适的生活才是关键。

　　根据您的资金，选择投注数额的大小。每一次投注记录上面还应该详细写着的损失的数额。根据其性质，赌博这个职业是一个高低不平的行业，好运气和坏运气可以让你像荡秋千似的。所以，你需要慎重考虑是否要以赌博谋生。要当一个职业赌徒不是一件容易的事。

　　在我们看来，赌博职业是世界上最难的工作之一，我们不会推荐它。

　　如果你真的想过赌博生活，你的两个最好的选择是：

　　打开一个赌场（不是那么容易，除非你已经很有钱）。

　　写有关如何过赌博生活的书

　　Can you Earn A Living Gambling?

　　This is a question that keeps coming up time and time again- we feel we at least have to put our point of view across on this one. We go into more detail below on the reasons behind our thinking, but if you can be overed to read the text below, our 2 point summary is:

　　Yes- there are people who gamble professionally for a living

　　No, we don advise it. Playing casino games should be a form of entertainment, and that it. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

　　OK, now to our rationale.

　　People do make a living from gambling. Poker is a popular area, as is blackjack and sports betting for career gamblers. And forex trading is becoming popular （currency traders will tell you that this isn gambling but we beg to differ- the markets aren a casino. They are a VERY BIG casino）。 BUT, the successful professional gamblers are far and few between. Most full time punters are struggling to get into the black, and come under big stress if they are relying on a game of chance （or the result from a horse race with other unpredictable factors such as the weather, the going underfoot and the health of the horse）。 And there are just as many who spend much of the time in the red. To win at this sort of game, you need to have an ice cool head and place your punts with your head rather than your heart.

　　The general advice from professional gamblers is to always have 1-years worth of living expenses in savings ON TOP of the capital that you are commiting to gambling. Professional gamblers treat the whole area as a businesss, and work out a business plan, and a plan B if everything goes belly up. Gambling for a living is incredibly stressful- it is key to have a comfortable money cushion to live off.

　　Plus your funds need to be able to soak up big drawdowns （for that read losses）。 By its nature, this is a spiky business and your luck can swing wildly both ways. There no point even contemplating becoming a professional gambler if you get wiped out in your first session. A rule of thumb is don invest more than 10% of your overall starting budget at any one time （preferably make this 5%）。

　　10 grand would be a minimum budget for any starting budding professional gambler, and the smart ones would only be commiting 500 quid of this at any one time, and sitting on the rest. If things go well, you can always reset your numbers. If things don, the same applies （you can revise your budget down）， or you can quit and go and get a real job without losing your shirt. Pro gamblers are VERY strict about this. They never chase losses.

　　To win in this game you need to be commited, ultra disciplined and open-minded.

　　In our opinion, professional gambling is one of the toughest jobs in the world and we would not recommend it. The key factor is  bankroll （see above）。

　　If you really want to make a living off gambling, your two best options are:

　　Open a casino （not that easy unless you are rich already）

　　Write a book about how to make a living off gambling （！）
