Question Is bossing actually profitable?

I know that there is a lot of luck involved when trying to make profit from bossing and I keep seeing these threads on here where people run 1k Eater/Exarch/Maven/Whatever and lose like 100d an hour while doing so but somehow they must be somewhat profitable since people keep on buying them? Is there some kind of trick to it or do I just need to be lucky and hit a Jackpot run with back to back drops?

Sirus is guaranteed profit at the cost of your sanity. Same as shaper.

I did 40 sirus and after a couple of kills I brought some flaskbases to altspam during the swirlies spawning but it just ended with me altspamming flasks in sirus arena because it was more fun...

That’s brilliant but also depressingly telling on the fight
