[brahmabull117]

let's say you're in the top 5% of all sports gamblers in your ability to predict winners and manage your money



what sort of income are you looking at?? 80-150??? 200+??



I actually have a high paying sales job as it is, I'm just curious if pro sports gambling is a real career field where some people can get rich




edit: serious responses only please guys, take the joking nonsense to another thread

[durito]

~200k

but it's got nothing to do with predicting winners

[LostBankroll]

$100 a day

[brahmabull117]

~200k but it's got nothing to do with predicting winners

u can make 200-300 grand a year and not get kicked out of sportsbooks for making too much money???


I ask cause I'm making about 140 k a year right now in sales. That's very enticing

[InTheDrink]

Brahma just go tout and take the guaranteed check.

You're already in sales so you probably have no scruples to begin with

[brahmabull117]

what's scruples???


I'm not even thinking about considering quitting my job to go into gambling, I am just very curious

[Tech N9ne]

$1.77 Per day and you've made it

[brahmabull117]

I have no idea wtf u are talking about

[lemart5]

$50,000

[brahmabull117]

$50,000

brah I used to make 50,000 a year selling phones at Sprint



a world class (top 5%) sports gambler makes the same money as a guy selling cell phones????

[in2thethickofit]

you sound like a salesman...there have been hundreds of threads like these...go search for them. you will get a million different answers and not know much more than when you started...just try your hand at it and let's all move on, shall we?

sound like a salesman??



what does that even mean?? I already admitted to being a salesman BTW

[warriorfan707]

50-100k

Because of just that...you had to tell us. I don't go around and tell people what I do when it has no bearing on the question you are asking...ya from NY too? Bet not, you would have told us...sorry, don't mean to be a jag off but really, there are alot of threads about "how much can you make?" AND "is anyone here a pro gambler?" AND "how much do I need to start?"

CHECK THE ARCHIVES, YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF

[brahmabull117]

50-100k

I can understand that 80-100 k range


why don't these guys though just double their bets to double their income??



afraid that they will get banned/limited???

you will get kicked out of sportsbooks often

[durito]

serious thread?

complete bull shit as usual from our resident idiot.

[brahmabull117]

you will get kicked out of sportsbooks often

So how do these guys make so much money with the threat of getting kicked out??

[durito]

there are lots of books, bookies, casinos, etc.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Most here pulling in 6 figures, w/ no risk. The 6 figures may or may not include the cents ($1,000.00).

[Ra77er]

There is such a large gap that I don't think you can accurately guess what an average income is for a sharp. Bankroll sizes vary so the average would as well. Theoretically if you have the edge and the bankroll to withstand variance then you can make very good money.

[RubberKettle]

Im not sure, but the top 5% in any high-risk profession probably make a million plus.

[lakerboy]

Don't forget sharps have tons of beards. Group betting is vital. I would say 150k easy a year. Thousands of books out there. You need capital and resources. It can be done especially if you only gamble for a living.

[jjgold]

lucky if its 40k-60k a year and you put in a ton of hrs

[Shack]

Many gamblers are like day traders. They win a few or win for a few years and think they are special. Well then the tide turns and you better have a day job at all times to absorb any blows.

[BookiesBernanke]

I hope your a fan of rooster fighting because all the other sports are going on furlough

[vividjohn45]

this much is true. if you live in vegas and win. the book managers know you and watch as you come up to buy a ticket. this is all shifts. as the book is open at 6am til 9pm. weekdays

so good luck. i don't know the real limits, but they know the little fish if u win.

[Inspirited]

$3.50

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

If its not higher than 150k i dont know why you'd even pursue it. Easier ways to have a cash flow of 100k a year.

[suicidekings]

let's say you're in the top 5% of all sports gamblers

Not good enough if you're talking about a guy that's making money by picking winners rather than trading. More like the top 0.5%

[MichaelWaters]

we have seen this question a billion times. if you are a good gambler and you have $100k to start with by the end of they year you should make about $55k safely. then you have to collect

[noties]

I can understand that 80-100 k range


why don't these guys though just double their bets to double their income??



afraid that they will get banned/limited???

all gamblers can go on a bad run of losing days at any time

pros manage the losing side of gambling
