    Very Very unlikely. There may be few that can be counted on one hand, but no more then that.

    Over the past 4 or 5 yrs up till this yr I've probably lost 30 grand....but this yr I can actually finally say I've made that back and then some and have been able to pay all the bills thanks to sports betting....my pay check from my regular job just sits in the bank now. It took awhile to get here but it feels good none the less.

    MLB paid my rent two months in a row (my rent isn't much, btw) and it bought my awesome lap top last year, among other things.

    I think the entire NBA 2011 season bought me one good steak dinner at the Venetian.

    And I've never won a season in the NFL. All you fcukers who killed it at MGM in NFL stole my money. Bastards.

    I made about 10k last year gambling. Nothing special, but I dont gamble as a profession, only for fun.

    Its fun laying bets, but to make it a full time job is crazy. Unless your starting w/ an extreme bankroll(millions), its always going to be an uphill climb.
