    how much $$ to stop gambling?

    so how much money do you have to make a year before you stop gambling and call it quits for good?

    100 or 100K or 100M the only difference would be the size of my bets (1-4% of BR)

    what most people on this forum dont realize is that the amounts of money they are mentioning their action would severely be limited at the books. shoot at these outrageous prices why dont u just buy a sportsbook? people always have unrealistic expectations. like gambling large percentages of your bankroll then expecting a return a of a million dollars.

    dumb question

    you either like to gamble or you don't

    it has nothing to do with how much you make or how much money you have in the bank, that only affects bet size not the amount of time and effort devoted to gambling

    No amount of money would satisfy the craving to gamble. I do this for the rush and addiction not for the money. I am living a nice comfortable life and money is not the reason I gamble. Baruch HaShem.

    Some people do it for the profit and don't really enjoy it that much.

    I am sure you are right, just like with any job that people do it for their income. I don't gamble for my income, it's something I like to do and will never stop. I was talking about my particular situation. G*d Bless

    i just took the question for what it was. whether it be by a couple big parlay hits or slowly working my balance up and taking numerous 5,000 to 10,000 shots, if i was able to get to 500k (well i might not stop) but financially that would put me well off enough where i would feel like i didnt "have" to gamble
