      It's all about demeanor and ability to work and stay focused around and with drunk losing gamblers. You have the educational skills.

        ok
        There are jobs where you are game scorers I saw one for a cricket game scorer where you stay at home and watch game and update score every ball it paid around 20k a year

        yes I heard about that. same with local leagues soccer. They are paying per game not per hour though. Friend of mine catched two at once so it net decently. It was like two years ago , do not know how it looks today. I will ask for company name

              I'd set up a 55 inch TV next to the pot. Set up a tablet holder, and charger next to toilet roll dispenser. Have a 40 inch above my fridge.

                Have a masters in Sport Psychology and BS in Education
                I'd look toward B2B companies looking to service US legal books. Data and tech providers. There has to be opportunities there as the industry expands.

                You definitely don't want a book CS job then!

                                                How do they do it now with tech?

                                                I thought they still paid teams of people 50 bucks a match to do the incident logging for them.
                                                .

                                                    I guess just looking to get a less stressful job. Don't really know. Just that I love sports and sports betting so if I could somehow find a job I love and isn't stressful then I might be better

                                                              I thought they still paid teams of people 50 bucks a match to do the incident logging for them.
                                                              not sure we are thinking about the same thing i may be using the wrong term.


                                                              i Was talking about going to less popular sporting events. This was mostly done in itf and smaller tennis markets. you beat the score keeper to the punch and bet accordingly.

                                                              now with the longer live betting delays and so many watchdog services you would hardly make any money... There are tons of expenses and eventhough it was sure bets you would need to have alot of connections as you know beating any small market gets u booted over time

                                                                  no what im talking about basically cheating but not illegal. i think there is a documentary about it.

                                                                  But basically the court sider would beat the data logger to the punch and get bets in b4 line moved.

                                                                  now its irrelevant. even if u can beat them its usually for small limits and there is tons of expenses to do it.
