Some statistics say that 9 out of 20 people are losers at online poker games, which means that you have a slightly greater chance of being a winner than a loser.  But can you really make a living gambling online?  Of course there are other games you can play but generally the accepted wisdom is that poker and blackjack are the games where some skill is involved in making a win, and you’re not purely relying on chance.

There are various methods that have been shown to work on other games with varying degrees of success, for example the Hawks method for Roulette.  However, any professional gambler will research the game they want to play, the odds for the game they are playing, and will be aware of how much they stand to gain and lose at any stage of play.  If you feel that you fulfill these criteria then maybe it is worth a go for you.  If not, then stay away from thinking that online gambling is an easy way to make money.

Whatever you choose to do keep an open mind when reading statistics about winners and losers, chances are that the stats don’t tell you how many of the people included in their stats were professional players, or how much was won or lost, so use your own judgment when it comes to reading these sort of statistics and look further behind the basic numbers.  Any casino site suggesting that you might like to try making a living from gambling is probably not going to give you the full picture about any statistics they offer.

Making a living at poker is not an easy thing to do, but if you are experienced at the game and can cope with the risk of not making enough then it can be an enjoyable and potentially rewarding way of working.
