    Bankroll starting tips: get every bonus you can and hedge the FP against another book. You'll grow your roll fast at first.

          Rivera, short answer to your question. I think the answer is Yes.

          I saw that mainly b/c Vegas gives u access to a lot of different lines.
          Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

              Yes. With so much account betting now, it's even easier than ever in some ways

                            Why Vegas? Odds better offshore. Instant crypto payouts. Vegas a vacation destination now.

                                  Minimum starting bankroll should be 100K

                                  Anything less you are up against it

                                  Play 1-1.5% of bankroll

                                  Then you better be good at creating numbers that you're confident with

                                  It can be done but it requires hard work and it becomes a full time job that most would hate anyway.

                                                Yes, but it's not incredibly high-paying and it takes work and feels like a job, not a vacation.

                                                  Couldn't see any reason why someone would like to be paid in cash then via electronic methods that are tracked if you wanna convert. Sure there's some headache ways of getting cash for them but not easy.

                                                    When living there isn't a lot of reason to be on the strip. However there's plenty of strip places to park for free still

                                                      I haven't worked a job since early 14' have a few investments but majority income is poker then sports. One of my closest friends, who's one of the most profitable poker players of all time/author has gambled professionally for going on 20 years. My guess is now adays he's made more $ off of his endorsements and books but still makes a pretty good amount in cash games.

                                                            The question was how does one go about betting sports professionally

                                                            It has nothing to do with "How do I make money in the stock market"
