Only if you own the casino.

People do earn a living gambling, but they are a very smart and very rare breed of player. Most of us fall victim to the house's advantage. I know it is possible to out smart the house, but eventually a casino will catch on and ban the person. A lot of these guys use betting systems rather than a system that cracks roulette or whatever game. A betting system as simple as this can make it possible for you to "grind out" winnings on a regular basis:
Betting Black of Red, Odd or Even do the following:
random guess the next six out comes...
like R B B B R B
Now bet against yourself.... yes AGAINST yourself... just for fun...you can really do it either way.
Bet B for 5 dollars....if you win you've got 10 (earned 5)
if you don't, you have to double your bet... to 10 next time...
so bet 10 on R if you win you have spent 15 and just made 20 so you are 5 ahead again.
Just google this and I'm sure some site will explain this better. Ultimately, it's like you only have a 1 in 64 chance of NOT winning your 5 bucks, but, the catch is that you do risk a lot of money for that tiny little win. You might want to try the 1 $ tables if you are lucky enough to find one.

As a player? Not really. Casinos *love* people with "systems", because none of them work in the long term. All the games' odds are carefully fixed so the house always wins in the long term.
Two exceptions: some people can be successful at counting cards in blackjack, but the casinos regard this as cheating and will throw you out and ban you for life if they think you're doing it.
The other is poker, but that's not really gambling, but a game of skill (even according to California law! Really!). Poker isn't played against the house, but against the other players at the table. It's hard to get good enough to win consistently at the high-stakes table, though.
Fun as it sounds, it's probably safer (and less stressful) to get a job.

It can my Grandfather made a living that way. Make sure you are very good at whatever game you chose. Poker is really the only game you can make a living at it is the only one you are not playing against the house and remember the house will always come out ahead in any other game in the end.

Only if you win! And are a student of the game! Then you have to be good at it! You got to know when to hold them - know when to fold them - Know when to walk a way - Know when to run - you never count your money - when sitting at the table - there'll be plenty time for counting when the game is done! Or won! Either goes o.k.!

Well: I have never seen many Casino owners or bookies riding push bikes, or standing in the dole queue: so I guess not... unless you are one of these!!!!

It does if you run a casino as a business. If you're stupid enough to think you can beat the system, then sadly, alas, no.
