Telling them i used to gamble for a living will not work...

Then apply places that it doesn't matter. Every thread someone makes about "I'm considering going pro" always has someone saying, gl getting a job after being out of the market for an extended time. You removed yourself from the market to gamble and will have some consequence in certain fields, deal with it. Asking people about how to lie your way into something you cognitively removed yourself from is pathetic.

Eh, why can't people just tell the truth? If they don't hire you then [censored] them, they're a bunch of pretentious pricks.

Say you tried trading currency from your home office(EUR/USD), did a little better than break even, and can't stand going through three rolls of Tums a day anymore especially with no benefits. Do a little online searching, familiarize yourself with some terminology, and lie through your teeth like every other job applicant.
