    Its all about connections, there really isn't a clear resume for getting in.

    A lot of people rely on a little BS in an interview situation.

    Have you ever thought of fading yourself? You won't have to work if you do this.

    Man I've tried. I think one guy faded me and broke even. I do win a lot in a row so it's hard to fade. All about the timing of the big loss or making it to a cashout stage

    Even at 5/10 PLO or PLO8 dealers do well. $1000 pots usually see a $25 tip at least.

    Depending on your analytical ability look at some futures trading. Markets I like are E mini S&P and crude oil futures. Takes some time to figure things out but capital required is significantly less than normal day trading.

    At least its more respectable to say you lost money trading than lost money betting on sports. lol

    I hope the best for you but I am inclined to compare this to an alcoholic working as a bartender.

    Not sure the angle here Otters. What are you trying to do? Make book? Be a clerk? Work for a syndicate? Work for a book? Can you program or are you just seeking data entry? Do you understand risk management, at least a little?

    There is no career called "Sports Betting Industry"

    I could get you running, but can you resist betting the money? That feels like a bad movie in the making...lol

    Apply at Caesar's and specify the book, see where that gets you. You just might have to get into the casino anywhere, then make your way to the book.

    I could easily run. I'd never bet with money that's not mine.

    Running would be a dream job depending on how much I make

    Depends on how many credits you have now. If you start from scratch you're looking at a minimum 4 years.

    Sent you a PM Otters.

    Range makes a point, in this day and age, whatever you might want to learn stats or whatever, it's a good idea to learn it. Great thing is that with the net, there is so much you can learn on your own time, while still working as you need to.

    There are free math courses from Ivy league schools out there.

    Regardless, learn as you go and build slowly. Even in regards to my PM.
