This sounds rather contradictory. Especially if you have family/loved ones.
It’s not the worst thing, you just miss out on birthdays, holidays, major life events, day to day quality time together, getting to know each other, seeing the world, helping others, finding profound meaning in your life, spiritual endeavors, etc. But hey, at least you’re a winning player!
Gambling addiction is destructive to your life. Even if you can make a financial living through it, which incredibly few actually do especially over the long run, dismissing it as though it isn’t that bad because you only miss out on many things life has to offer, especially in a thread where the OP states he has a big gambling problem, is irresponsible.
