The thing about gambling for a living is its a grind. If you are doing it right its boring as hell. Its boring because you are always playing within the means of your bankroll. The risk of ruin is somewhere between slim and none. It's production work. Some people are made for it and some aren't. You can study gambling all you want and become very good at it. But many will find they don't like the grind and move on.

But moving on doesn't mean you have to forget gambling altogether. Guys like Braun, Thorp, Jacobsen seem to get a big kick out of solving the mathmatical puzzles the games present. But that doesn't mean they have to go to grinding it out in the casinos.
