I want to start gambling, any advice?

Dont

Casino

Scratch tickets is where most people start

Baccarat is almost 50/50 betting. House edge is like 1.09% or some shit extremely low. My buddy and i played in Vegas and he won $15 grand off $2k

If you want to gamble, you have to go hard or go home. Bitch bets won't get you anywhere.
What you do is go all in on any one coin or stock option play. Keyword ONE.
A couple decades ago I'd recommend pennystocks, but crypto is the safest way to 100-1000x your money over time.
Feeling ballsy? Take out a loan, student loan, mortgage whatever, and have at it.

Poker, if it is even considered gambling, is the only gambling you should partake in

odds bet at the craps table has zero house edge

I was thinking this, how many people make a profit on it?

As a rough estimate, somewhere between 5 and 10% of the playerbase. I'll answer more questions on the subject matter if you have any.

buy high sell low

invest in crypto

I was getting into gambling then I discovered CFD trading earns me a FUCKLOAD more.

No house edge and always 50/50.

Buy FUN and wait for 100x

Do you think it is profitable to play 1/2 $300 max buy in live poker?

if you are smart, and I doubt it -
before you gamble, simulate it in excel... you will see that you are fucked

Extremely. Live poker if you don't find it too boring is extraordinarily profitable.

you have to actually be good and not delusional. takes a lot of work, practice, and study to be a significant and consistent winner.

I made a living playing poker during the gold years in early 2000s, was a lot easier back then, so many of the fundamentals now like determining blockers wasn't even a thing.

easy to get burnt out too if you play too much - some people romanticize it as a dream job or something, but I played way more than fulltime (60+ hours a week) for 4+ years and I hate poker so much now I can't even begin to describe, and that's despite being a winning player

I can attest to this, if you decide to play for a living you end up hating the game and the amount of patient it requires is absolutely staggering. You get pumped up to play on a Saturday night and end up being card dead for 8 hours.

Oh I never said it was easy. I've studied countless hours and played even more. Game is tough these days. Didn't get to play during the 'free money' period but I make the best of it currently.

SUNDAY FUNDAY. Always ends in soul crushing disappointment.

It's being legalized and regulated in a few more US states, like Pennsylvania. I'm excited.

How up to date are you on theory?

Reasonably, but do not practice GTO unless playing vs regs. Even then will deviate slightly.

Do you think tight ABC poker is still profitable? I generally just play that live and while I have some really good nights, mostly I end up having to fold way too much when I miss the flop.

Good post, next few years will be mammoth

Profitable... Slightly, depending on stakes. Probably fine for the most part live if playing low-medium stakes, but to absolutely smash the games you need to be playing much more aggressively.
