    Leaving Las Vegas, time to hang it up
    Just accepted a graduate assistant coaching position for football at a university, that starts in January, which means NO GAMBLING ALLOWED per NCAA rules

    So I am moving back to Texas to work for my dad for a few months until January which I begin grad school and my new position

    As far as people who always say they want to move here to Las Vegas, I personally do not recommend it unless you are extremely financially stable, and by stable I mean either you have a steady, decent income or at least $50,000 in the bank. Because trust me, you aren't going to come here and make money off of betting on sports. In my year here I probably won slightly more than I lost, which is break even at best. And I lived a very economically conservative lifestyle(never spent money on anything except the necessities) and had a full time job.

    Making money off of betting on sports is a pipe dream at best. You are better off having a job and just betting on sports as a side hobby.

      I'll tell my 12 pro friends that. I think 2 of them are in LV tho.

      Best of luck, I'd rather be a coach anyway.

        Right, only move to Vegas for actual work. Don't kid yourself and think you'll win SPORTSBETTING.


        Good luck with the new career chief.

              If I go to Vegas just going to live and enjoy atmosphere and cheaper living
              rule 1.................pay off a house in cash if you do go there..no bills
              rule 2 if you do bet daily just bet $10 a game for enjoyment and you will be fine
              get any type of job to have balance

                      definitely more likely to make a living at poker than sports betting.

                        Lol if you're really becoming an "assistant coach", you'd know Tannehill is going to be a good QB. You actually went to Vegas to make it rich in sports betting? LOL
                        Thanks for the advice

                              Having a real job = Profit gained.
                              Gambling on sports = Profit loss.
                              Good luck.

                                  Sammy strongly recommends every kid (young man) reading SBR to go and live in vegas at least once in their life

                                  It is a good lesson

                                  Do it while you can

                                          Frogs if you had a full time job you couldve easily supplemented it with 30k/year+

                                          No idea why some people that live in vegas aren't advantage gamblers

                                                  Checked out wikipedia on the subject. I guess card counting and middling in sports bets among other strategies can work at times. But if it were so easy to do and stay disciplined more gamblers would win at this game. But most lose- that's reality.

                                                        Thanks for the advice
                                                        Never came out here to bet on sports, I came out here because my job transferred me out here

                                                        I am not really one for the Vegas lifestyle, I don't drink or do drugs or go to clubs or strip clubs or have sex with hookers or anything like that, not really much of a nightlife guy

                                                        Apart from betting on sports there is nothing for me here that I can't do elsewhere. Las Vegas is a very boring place to live if you are not into all that nightlife stuff.

                                                        I want to get into coaching because I think I would be good at it and it is more exciting than what I am doing now which I feel is a dead end.

                                                        Betting on sports gets old after a while especially when you are losing, for example this past Saturday i had a 10 team ML parlay and just needed Georgia Tech to finish it off to get a good payday and they blow a 17 point lead in the 4th quarter and lose in overtime because they can't convert a 4th and inches with that triple option offense.

                                                        Plus it is always hot here, and it takes 30 minutes to go 1 mile because of all the traffic lights at every intersection that have shitty timers on them

But if it were so easy to do and stay disciplined more gamblers would win at this game. But most lose- that's reality.
