    The purpose of gambling in your life

    Hi,I'm new here and I want to know if you can live decently of gambling like how you see it on tv.I don't know a lot about the real world so that is why I prepared 6 questions for each users from here.I would be happy if you could write this answers as an essay or short essay.
    1)Do you play these games as a hobby or as a career?(Honestly I believed that players do it for the money and not for the colour of the cards or the psychology of others)
    2)Why didn't anyone warned me that gambling is not for immature people?(like myself because when I entered the forum no one warned me that these games are for those who have a passion in investing these money in bussiness)
    3)Can you make a living from bets?(including sport bets)
    4)How much math does a person need to understand the nature of gambling?(I saw some books about strategies and they involved some calculus but I have no idea if you're going to use that because I've never played or made profit from gambling)
    5)What is so great about gambling and betting(beside winning and losing)What's the essence that hides inside these games?
    6)What happens when an immature person decides to enter gambling?Are they awaken in the real world?

    Also,is it true that the highschool math which you learned at highschool is not useful in your day life? I mean I asked this questions because I saw a lot of winnings in the movies with betting and I wanted to be sure that if it's just luck or math skill.
    Is that how you become successfull?

    How do you want me to prove it?By solving a math problem? I was really good at algebra in highschool so If you want me to solve an exponetial equation or everything else I will solve it the best way I can.
    What else do you want me to prove? You want me to solve combinational problems with 4C2 type in poker?

    @jjgold But how can you say that you lose in bets when I saw some winners who won from 400 to 500€ ?
    Do you have any proof that this scene was not realistical? Now,if there were dollars involved I would believe that you could live decently from 400 to 500 dollars and that means that you can buy food and drinks for some months or weeks instead of using your income.
