    Fukkin silencer thread my ass. The OP should shut the fukk up.

    Like it is some kind of badge of honor to gamble for a living. It is more time consuming, stressful, labor intensive and reviled than any fukkin job out there. Fukkin Hanky here don't know jakk shit about it, always putting this shit high on a pedestal like it is some fukkin Lukky Charms commercial, Pot O fukkin Gold at the end of the damn rainbow. How's the pension plan Hanky? Ever had a forensic audit of your whole fukkin life Hanky. Just cause some clown can't quantify your success so he could have what he thought was his cut? Ever have someone walk with half your roll because you didn't have a legal leg to stand on nor the firepower to match his. Great for your BP and cholesterol ain't it Hanky? Think that is a long term sustainable career?

    It ain't. The more successful you are at this the more fukkin trouble you got. I will gladly take my cushy job and my relatively penny ante wagers every fukkin day of the week.

    I have made book, broken book and worked as a mid level exec with a nice cushy job travelling around the damn country telling folk their business. I have been through most of that shit described above. And fukk your "one guy" horse shit too. That fukk gonna learn the hard way, he ain't near good enough and don't have near the firepower he needs. Yuck it up kids.

    We got about 50 or 60 smart guys in this thread and a couple of dumb fukks one step ahead of the shoeshine and two steps away from the county line.

    Silencer thread.

    Fukk are you an idiot.

        Mostly true.

        I played poker to pay rent about 7 years ago when I was in between jobs. Barely eeked it out, and I've played two or three times since.

            I'm not part of the poker scene here, but only low shit jobs really monitor internet activity. Or your boss is an insane asshole.

            Point being, that vast majority of "work" in the country includes sitting in front of a computer with viable internet connection and very little oversight outside of the IT department.

            Also - FUKK gambling for a living. I don't have what it takes. It would turn it into literal work, instead of a part-time hobby type thing. No-fukkin-thank-you.

              It is by far the most time consuming thing I have ever done. It just never ends. The minute you take your finger off the pulse you are beat.

              Folk always wonder why I don't play for extended periods of time. In addition to letting the numbers enrich themselves it is just hard as hell to keep up.

                    Sinker and Chalker get it...

                    Now if you saying live in Vegas from OCT - DEC to focus and bet midseason NCAAF and Early Season NCAABB (by far the 2 most profitable times for me) and then the other 9 months run your biz or w/e else you do for income, then I'd very much enjoy something like that.

                    But for 365/24/7 shit man, when you pro you might not touch a game for weeks. Just study STudy STudy STudy STudy, like Sinker said you can't take your hand off the pulse for a second.

I got an employer providing me great health insurance for about $70/month (already covered over $100k for 2 surgeries), contribute nicely to my 401k. Gotta look at the whole package. I also get 6 weeks paid vacation yearly. In exchange, I get up 4 mornings a week, clock in and go to work and have to be a good employee and take shit from my superiors. But for me, it's all worth it.

                      May I ask what you do for a living ?

                            Its true. I am selective though. Thats the key. Only service men at large corporations. After we're done, I show them the video and blackmail them further. Without the blackmail I make about 60k/year. But that doubles after a bit of persuasion.

                            Couple of general rules if youre considering

                            1.) Dont service black men. You'll need that 6 week break immediately.
                            2.) Republicans tend to pay more. They dont want to be outed. You can blackmail then for more as well.
                            3.) Fat guys stink. Make them pay extra.
                            4.) Dont treat everyone equal. You want to make to make politicians and cops feel special by your extra attention.
                            5.) Old men tend to be angry. Lots take boner pills. After they pop the pill, raise your price. They'll pay anything at that point. Make em pay up front as well.

                            Do these things and you'll be making $20/hr in no time at all.

                                  Are you that ****** in the head? You got a job you don't deserve because of your wife and you are going to penetrate that up. You are a problem gambler and nothing good will come out of it no matter how much money your wife got. It still amazes me she let you have access to these funds. You must have a 12 inch dick or something.

                                      How does that go, Tony? In some states, would think u could do ok. Really, $1000 per month is not impossible.

I have been through most of that shit described above. And fukk your "one guy" horse shit too. That fukk gonna learn the hard way, he ain't near good enough and don't have near the firepower he needs. Yuck it up kids.

                                              We got about 50 or 60 smart guys in this thread and a couple of dumb fukks one step ahead of the shoeshine and two steps away from the county line.

                                              Silencer thread.

                                              Fukk are you an idiot.

                                                    lol @ guys saying gambling for a living is tougher than real work. If you know how to win gambling no more how much time you must invest it still beats having a boss.

                                                      I play people at the local YMCA for 20 bucks a game, first to 11 by 1s and 2s, make it take it.

                                                      My overall record is 345-21

                                                      I've netted quite a bit of cash.

                                                        So Landers is going pro betting half his roll on one game and annual threads of "I'm never gambling again"? That probably will end well.

                                                              That is an opinion. You know nothing more than enough to lose your shirt.
