The life of a professional gambler may look luxurious from the outside, but everything is not always as it seems. You may be walking around the casino and see the high rollers smoking cigars and wearing expensive suits, but becoming a pro gambler is about more than just luck at the card tables. 

There are lessons that almost all professional gamblers have learned and strategies they’ve adopted to earn their millions.

Bluffing And Reading Opponents

Poker players have a unique set of skills since they’re playing against human opponents. Professional poker players must have a sound understanding of psychology, along with knowing different poker strategies and game theory. That’s because they must be able to read and analyse their opponents’ behaviours to determine when they’re bluffing. 

Professional players must also be able to bluff and think on their feet in highly stressful situations, especially when millions of pounds are at stake. Players must manage their “poker face” while assessing opponents and keeping an eye on the cards and their cash. 

Even online poker players must learn to read fellow players during live-streamed games. It can be harder to read opponents through a screen. 

Beating The House

Pro gamblers have tried many strategies and eventually figured out how to “beat” the casino in some table games, like roulette, blackjack, and baccarat. Although the saying “the house always wins” does hold true, using the right strategy can improve their odds of winning. These strategies can include shuffle monitoring, hole carding, or the very much frowned-upon card counting. 

These players are called “advantage players” and are an uncommon sight at the casino. That’s because it’s not only hard work, but casinos tend to ban players who “cheat” using these strategies. 

Handling Losses

Losing is inevitable, even for the top gamblers in the world. A valuable lesson that all professionals have learned on their way to the top is not to let losses bring them down. Gamblers must have a plan in place to control losses, like taking a break during a losing streak or setting a loss cap and sticking to it. 

Some sites, like those not listed on Gamstop, don’t have self-exclusion mechanisms, allowing gamblers to play as much as they like. According to insider perspective on these sites, they offer more freedom and rewards that can’t be matched by state-regulated platforms. While gamblers can easily take advantage of these sites to bet without restrictions, pros understand when to walk away.

Chasing losses can be detrimental and quickly cause the gambling session to spin out of control. Professionals won’t up their bets or make irrational decisions when losing, they will instead reflect on the situation and stop the situation before it results in bigger losses. 

Staying Focused And Flexible

It’s not just about dealing with losses; pro players also understand how to manage success and remain focused despite winning massive jackpots. Many gamblers make the mistake of acting impulsively when they win due to the boost in confidence. However, this clouds judgment and can result in losses or irresponsible choices. 

When playing casually, it is important to also set a limit on how much you want to win, and enjoy your success up to that cap. Chasing wins can be just as risky as chasing losses. 

Flexibility is also important. Pros are constantly evaluating the current situation and changing their wager amounts based on their streak. Being adaptable can increase the chances of winning. 

Managing Finances

Bankroll management is a lesson that all gamblers must learn. Pros know that setting aside a budget for gambling is important and allows them to control their finances even when losing. The budget can be divided into betting units, which are small fractions of the total bankroll. By placing bets using betting units, the risk of losing streaks is diminished, and finances remain stable in the long term. 

Focusing On One Game

The saying “Jack of all trades, master of none” applies to gambling, too. Most professionals have selected a single casino game to focus on, learning all the rules and strategies that apply. They spend time watching other players and tournaments, figuring out patterns and testing their skills. 

By playing only one game, pros develop a deep knowledge of the game’s intricacies and can make informed choices that increase their odds of success. 

Final Thoughts

Professional gamblers are good at what they do for a reason: They have the discipline and strategies to excel at their chosen casino games. There is a lot of work that goes into becoming a professional, and it is not always evident from the outside. However, as with any skill, it takes hours of practice and understanding to become successful. Pros know how to manage their finances, take losses on the chin, practice various strategies, and have a grasp of the psychology behind gambling.
