Lol, half the kids on this board can't pick their own nose without their mommy's help.

I thought at one point like an idiot that I could do it someday, but of course it didn't work out.

I actually lose my living gambling. I guess I am the converse of what you are looking for.

I have posted this in the horse racing forum before.

I knew two successful professional gamblers (in this case, horses) fairly well and it is not a lifestyle that most would be able to deal with. It might sound like a pretty decent way to make a living, and for some, maybe it is, but for most, or anyone with a family, it's darn tough.

[dinaro7]

Not me. Then again, an indian stole my job, so gambling is some form of income.

thats funny ace lets not hate each other we can be posters and not enemys for any slight preceived or not i apoligize

Health Insurance for single person costs way more than $200 per month
If you pay that its whore shit coverage

A good plan costs $600-$800 per month

I doubt there is a 'handicapper' making 6 figures on SBR.

Well over 100 posters making 6 figures just hitting really off numbers at shit books (like SIA, Bodog), hitting +EV promos.

And certainly many posters making 6 figures doing the above and/or using a model to help them determine off numbers in other markets where just comparing the line to Pinnacle won't necessarily tell you the right side. I could name at least 20 posters doing this and I am sure there are many many more who just don't post much.

It is fukkin easy guys Start looking at books outside the A range

I do it for fun and usually only go about 5-10% of my income. I get stressed out on that alone, I can't imagine doing it for a living. Not something I would want to do with my life.

Now if I could go Biff from Back to the Future, I think it would be great.

I havent punched-the-clock for another man in years

[INVEGA MAN]

Let me put it this way. i havent put money in a sports book for over a year and i am still betting with that money. The only reason i did it was to turn pro and i got denyed. The promo days are gone. Anybody making 6 figures from gambling isnt a memeber here. They have no time to be posting on any forums.

I have lost a living a couple of times through gambling.

I just do it for extra tax free cash and am living very well off right now. You can see my 3 main sports are football, basketball and soccer. In the past 3 months I'm up $24 658 as I indicated with the red box.

I have put 2k into my Pinnacle over the past year and have been dumb not cashing out when I should have. I have about $400 left in there. Those are the only books I use.

[YouMama]

BetFair seems like a awesome option, if u can get it

Almost impossible if your a usa resident as you do not have the books and money transfers system to do it

[thetrinity]

you can beat the books for small margins not really enough to live off of IMO. anything substantial theyll squeeze ur nuts off. (for american players at least)

[John Morrison]

i play poker professionally , 6 years running now , quit my job because i was making to much money playing poker , would make 300 a week at my job and come home and win that in a hour , 9 - 5 job is for squares without a brain and patience

[paranoyd androyd]

99.9% of everyone here is a recreational gambler and lose. 0.01% here like to think they're professionals, but aren't. they lose more than the recreational gamblers in fact. 100% here lose.

[YouMama]

I would think that of most "professional gamblers" ... do they have a job? maybe not, but they have income coming in from somewhere else, they gamble as a living, but all they are doing is budgeting and recycling their $ ... unless you went on a tear like a big field poker tourney, and won like 6-7 figures, invested it, and got sponsorship ... like the wsop winners ... then you can probably say, u made a living gambling
