    i work for a living hopefully i get a better job, gambling is a hobby, no such thing as a professional gambler, as ive said in videos you need to show a visible income and you need money to gamble with, with no income this is impossible unless some guy just said heres 25k good luck

        Heres a serious question....how do the Mods claim taxes? How do they say that they work for a sportsbooking forum in the US? I hope they dont say they arent involved in the off shore industry. VegasDave and Crazyl will be the first in the fire.

          I am doing exactly what I want to be doing in my life for a living. I gamble for a hobby only.

            Before becoming a full-time gambler I bounced around for 20+ years from job to job, warehouses and offices. I had over 60 jobs. I guess I'd still be miserably doing that.

              Even when i was in university i knew i'd end up doing this full time. I never ever want to work for someone or some company and have to answer to anyone. Nothing worse than answering to incompetent people who happen to be above you on the food chain. So i guess if i wasn't doing this i'd be attempting to run my own business of some sort.

                Cobra- that is probably one of the main reasons we gamble. We cant deal with authority. We dont want to answer to anyone but the books.

                  A used car salesman is actually not a bad job these days.

                    I agree. About 1% of the population has the skill, stomach and bankroll to attempt to gamble professionally. Plus, pro gamblers are usually a mess. Stressed out, haggard and usually abusing some sort of substance.

                        agreed, gambling is a hobby for me, not my life

                          I would sell shoes since I wouldn't need any extra money to cover all my losses.

                            I would continue my current radio job where I work from home. No more commuting to LA. My commute now is walking across the hall. I gamble for a hobby unless the recession forces me to do otherwise.

                                  I would try to get into the YGG as a senior member that advises them on the wrongs and rights of the business (a consigliere if you will).
