Is gambling a sin? I plan to become a successful professional gambler and become extravagantly wealthy from it, but is it wrong?

I would call it a sin. Your goal is also vain, which is its own sin.

Would you do so with any scripture or just the word of men?

Only if you are very bad at it, or very good at it.

If you're very bad at it you squandered the family money, and you have a moral duty to provide for them.
If you're very good at it you're cheating people out of their money and helping them to sin.

What if you're not cheating and you're just skilled? What if you only take the house's money and not other players' money, i.e. blackjack player not a poker player?

Go find a good Catechism and read it, do honest labor, and don't gamble with your soul.

In some casino games like blackjack, you only play against the house, not other individuals, meaning if you win the only one that pays you is the casino, so it is literally impossible in those games to "cheat people out of their money and help them to sin". You're not taking their money, the casino is.

But the casino takes their money as you are saying yourself, so indirectly you are taking their money. I was going to say the primary reason why gambling is a sin is probably because the money you win someone else lost, and some of those people might have lost more than they could afford to lose, maybe their entire retirement money etc. Then again the elite do this all the time.

But can't that be said about ALL money. If a gangster boss (without him revealing to you that he is one) buys your used car with money that he earned from killing people, would that mean that you'd be comitting a sin if you sold it to him? What if he used a proxy to buy the car?

Don't know if it's comparable. One is an exchange, goods for money. The other is just a transfer of money with no transfer of anything the other way.

Does that even matter for the purposes of determining guilt for the sins of others?
