This didn't read like gambling, just a lot of work.

  IMO this is how professional gambling looks like.

  Every professional gambler to whom I've spoken or have known easily puts in 60+ hours a week... some of them, to make no more than $40,000 - $50,000 a year. I struggle with understanding that mentality, since just about anywhere, doing just about anything, if you're working 60+ hours, you can easily make double those numbers, but hey... I'm glad people like that exist.

    There are lots of other jobs with crazy effort and not that much money for the median guy. Journalism for example. Or music, or sports.

    Define what's a professional gambler? I've worked in betting and I've seen people consistently printing millions of pounds a year with remarkable stability over the years (I was myself running an exchange). However they may not fit the popular image of an older man addicted to horses and drinking. They're professional working at (small) companies doing that activity full time.
