    If you live in the US then you are greatly diminished with what you can do. You can work around the banking things but always run the risk of not getting paid due to rules violations or just having the agent or third party stiff you.

    It just isnt worth the hassle anymore. Even if I wanted to do it I wouldnt. Nice for a pass time but not nearly a valid business like it used to be.

    Still OK for younger guys who are willing to run around 50 hours a week for 6 or 7 months, they can maybe make 25-30K if they have a decent starting bankroll. But to do that you need to live in Vegas, and young guys and vegas dont mix.

    Its obvious he knows what he is talking about...he doesn't need to post winners when he can bet both sides for a guaranteed profit....I would love to get more insight on how to do that myself, but why would he reveal his secrets if it works for him? I wouldn't...

    This is not the statement of a sharp.

    I "work" 20-25 hours a week in my underwear, at whatever hours i want, and bet at least that much in a day.

    Yeah OK thats why unemployment is about 20% and you have CEOS who are out of work with masters degrees and 20+ yrs in their profession working at Home Depot and wal mart for 7 bux an hour.

    What frigging planet are you on.

    a 40 hour a week job with 2 weeks vacation is 2000 hrs a year, thats what a 'normal' full time job is calculated at. So where are all these 25/hr jobs? Barak obama and the millions of people who cant work or make a lot less than that really want to know.

    As for the sitting in your underwear and betting 25-30K a day. Sounds like a Fezzik thing. But pushing money through the window doesnt equal income.

    Wanty you have lost touch with the offshore world because your out of the game and probably main reason is you went bust. I know guys like you that are too smart for your own good.
