If you went to Vegas with 20,000 cash next September to be a pro gambler

[Big Bear]

How far could you stretch 20K assuming you bet $1,000 per game and you just stayed out there living in a hotel trying to make a living gambling on NFL and College Football?

[dlunc3]

No pro gambler would bet 1k per game with a 20k bankroll

[Big Bear]

how much would they bet?

[pavyracer]

$250

[MickeyMan]

Bear you would probably be better off spending the 20 g's on a rooster reduction surgery

[daneblazer]

You better go on a heater

[shaunovery]

If bet 150 a game

[ronald]

You could easily lose it all in one weekend.

I've lost 20 units in 48 hours before. It happens.

[jjgold]

Not enough

$200 a game tops

[shaunovery]

Supposed you'll have to be disaplined after mnf not to bet again till Thursday

[Big Bear]

i dont have the 20K but i will move to Vegas if i come up on 20k and stay there for as long as it last

[jtoler]

Why do you need to go to Vegas to do this.

[Bigbill365]

if it was me what i would do say im staying at a hotel for $250-$300 a week id bet $250 and if i hit my first game id pay 1 week of rent and wait about a week and find another game to bet and repeat that why im constantly having my housing paid for.

but you bet 500 a game with a 15k bankroll?

[gauchojake]

Bear, do you think of this stuff yourself?

[Big Bear]

Why do you need to go to Vegas to do this.

online gambling will only take you so far.

if you are serious about it you got to be in Vegas where you have instant cash outs

[Russian Rocket]

Bear how much money you make per year and what do you need to accomplish in order to get your hands on 20K?

[jjgold]

You possibly can go to $400 a game with a $20,000 bankroll but anything more you're going broke real fast

[minet123]

you'll be broke by November 15th

its all about picking winners jj.

u looking for a job JJ?

i may move out to vegas and open a business like on Money Talks.

you could be my sales manager and get the crew coached up.

[gauchojake]

Bear, if I stake you 20k what type of return could I expect? I mean, I'm leaning giving Jayvegas the money, but you seem like you've been hitting some bets lately.

What if one has a card to swipe and do get instant pay outs.

[Jayvegas420]

If you can get instant payouts from your sports books as soon as the game is over & you can instantly withdraw when you leave your poker or BJ talble, then there is no difference.

[Covy]

You may get away with 500 a game if you have a system of proven 55-56% winners.

Once did 100 a game on a 500$ BR and got away with it but it was luck

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

How long would you really want to do it?

Seems like it would be stressful, depressing, lonely and expensive.

[Jayvegas420]

I guess the goal would be to do it until you have enough money to stop doing it.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

It would never be enough. Where do you stop?

You need at least another zero on that number to even attempt making a living at it.

[broadway6]

i don't have 20k at the moment to do this. But if i do get that amount of say house money between now and football season then i was planning on maybe living at Circus Circus for $25 a night and I could eat one meal a day at the Westgate Buffet.

That's what I'd do - and then walk my ass to the old Las Vegas Hilton or Las Vegas Hotel or whatever they're calling it these days.

Actually, my dream is to buy a condo in those high rise buildings on that road between Circus Circus and LVH. It isn't exactly entirely out of my price range except for the outrageous $1,000+ monthly fee.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Assume that you made 2,000 bets/year at -110 and hit 56% of them; you would make $15,200/year. You'll need to bet much more than a dime.
