Well is there? Anyone claiming to make a living off casino games is full of it. It’s mathematically impossible. The rest are poker players who don’t even know the full statistics behind what they are doing, and have successfully had a run of positive returns down a random walk.
Are there any bigger losers out there than these “professional” gamblers?

Yes there are, the people who watch them on the media and the people who obsess about them

two words: prostitutes, and hobos.
And it is not mathematecally impossible to win at some gambling events, such as poker. In these games, you aren't competing against the house, but other people, and you can use skill and psychology to win. But yes, someone who sits around at slots putting in quarters and expecting a salary is a complete and total loser.

I hope that "Tommy's Girls'" in laws have a long and prosperous career as video poker players....HOWEVER.....in all the time I have spent in and around casino gambling,I have never met anybody who didn't end up paying [often]dearly for their "comps".I know a lot of guys who liked to brag that they got their rooms payed for in Vegas, but I've noticed through the years that they don't go out there as much[if at all].Believe me..you can't beat em.I'm pretty old,and I don't know a single person who is ahead of the machines...or tables for that matter.Don't try and make a career of it.Hope none of us loose too much and have good time.

Yes. If I may call you the Cincinnati Kid. Listen, Kid, it's the River Card that will gauge your opponent'smettle. To everything, turn, turn, turn, but take 'em to the river, and drop em in the water. Hold 'em to their bluff. I wouldn't want to face you across the table. I'd be a total flop.

Yes, there is a much larger group called liberal arts majors. They bet thousands of dollars that their libaral arts degree will get them a better paying job. Most of them lose that bet.
Another groups is called aspiring actors (male and female). I personally am grateful to this group because they are the largest source of labor in the restaraunt industry.

Yeah, losers that think that putting the acedemic credentials or some claim about their earnings will impress people. Especially when their post includes incorrect statements like "mathematically impossible".
Loser.
