JJ how many years did you gamble professionally?

jjgold · 05-27-09, 07:47 AM

At MW for a while in 2002 and of course many years before that.

Gambling professionally can mean a lot of things but the pure definition is:

One that derives 100% of his income from gambling or of course loses 100% of his income due to gambling.

So lets say you do not work Slicker and you gamble only as your means to TRY and make money, it means your a Pro. I know many Pro gamblers that lose some years..

Hopefully you can get back to that level again.

I will be back t here someday, sitting with the big boys in Vegas, asking who Deuce likes.

Shake it off JJ, you are a legend in this game.

I know it gets tough when your image and reputation take massive hits like yours have the last several months, but you have to stay strong.

jj turned pro when he parlayed his bar mitzvah money into a fortune.

Nicky Santoro · 05-27-09, 09:25 AM

JJ is very discreet about this.. but i know JJ makes between 100k-400k a year gambling.. somewhere in the middle of that. How do you think JJ afforded that house.. It's from gambling money..You think JJ wants to come in here and say he's never worked a day in his life and makes easy money gambling? The IRS would find him in a sec.. JJ is not a stupid guy..

JJ is one of the sharpest gamblers offshore..

You know when he said ysterday how he'd bet 100k on ORL if he had the cash.. well guess what? He did bet 100k on ORL yesterday..

MonkeyF0cker · 05-27-09, 09:30 AM

JJ is a stupid guy if he's trying to hide money from the IRS.

JJ will be wearing minks again soon

jj's in rare form today. Let this be a lesson to you all. You have to lose at least 100% of your income to be considered a pro.

If I had to guess JJ gambled only one day professionally..lost it all going all in..and since then he has become an amateur losing it little by little gradually.

Rich Boy · 05-27-09, 03:18 PM

JJ is a professional degenerate

SlickFazzer · 05-27-09, 03:19 PM

He claims in earlier years that his sole source of income was from Professional
Gambling, similar to a guy like Brock Landers. I don't know what to believe.

milwaukee mike · 05-27-09, 03:32 PM

i don't think you have to make 100% of your money on something to be considered a professional.
there are many professional gamblers, real estate professionals, etc that have a regular "day job".

and what if part of your income comes from a pension, interest, dividends, etc - you are no longer a professional because you saved some of your winnings?

Guys if you do not work and bet daily and lose lets say 50k for the year and your profession is gambling your still considered a pro.

durito · 05-27-09, 03:52 PM

no one makes 100% of their income gambling

SlickFazzer · 05-27-09, 03:53 PM

durito · 05-27-09, 03:56 PM

JJ has a point.

In the "real" business world there are main gainfully employed people who are so incredibly incompetent that if they were gamblers they'd easily lose 50k a year. This people are still considered professionals. I guess it's true, Brock Landers is a pro!

reno cool · 05-27-09, 04:00 PM

Well, Brock is the inventor of the untouchable flip-flop theory.

I do, and know of others.

No interest?

No other investments?

That's pretty odd.

Do you know what interest is paying these days? If interest is a sizable portion of your income then you already have it made and don't need to gamble.

I was going to suggest one person who makes 100% of his income from gambling, but then I remembered, he mowed his grandma's lawn for $5 so I guess it's 99.99999% now. Thanks for keeping the threads accurate.

reno cool · 05-27-09, 05:30 PM

Yeah, none of that.
What should I invest in Durito?

durito · 05-27-09, 05:32 PM

I get 8% on COP cds and 7% on Reals.

I'm guessing $5 is more like 25% of your monthly income.

Brings up a very very Valid Point, the Term "PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER" is one that almost makes me laugh . . . . I've had over 100 clients over the Yrs (Especially when I was young) Tell me SON, let me warn you "I AM PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER" 2,3,4 months down the Line this so--called "PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER" would owe me Mid 5--Figures & unable to PAY

so, when someone states they are a Professional Gambler, do they Grind Out 20-K Per yr OR do they Make 2 Million OR do they in fact NOT turn a Profit at all . . . . .

Great Point "JJ" . . . .
