    Who else here bets for a living outside of Brock Landers and biggie12?

    of course there's a few other posters like Doug Tushy who frequently post large wagers, but i believe they have regular jobs on the side

    most interested in hearing from those who rely on betting for 100% of their income

    I use to play poker. Know several players who played for a living. In Cherokee, online and in Mexico. Not a lifestyle Id want. Maybe it’s for you. Most people need multiple streams of income to pull it off. Gambling is too unstable.

    is he not? honestly i don't know what to believe at this point, maybe i'm still too new. sure, i've read many of the jokes but he's consistently said he has no other job and relies on betting to make ends meet

    lol I'd be living under a bridge if I bet for a living

    it's just an expensive hobby that sometimes pays out short term.

    forgot to mention CK, almost certain he does this full time for a living

    there's also Rich Boy - not sure if a professional or just a wealthy bettor who does this for thrills

    The way things are now a days, I guess I qualify if you count day trading/ scalp trading the stock market as a sport. Sure I engineer slurry pumps as well, but for the last 2 years running now, I bring in more playing the stock market than I do figuring out how to get water out of mines, or determining what the specific gravity of water and 75% shit with corn chunks is.

    For me, gambling on the stock market its all about hanging around doing nothing but monitoring the stock market via charts waiting for that setup that I think is most likely to turn a profit. Some days I don't do shit while other days are filled with trades one right after the other. Today, as an example, nothing will be going on until the FED comes out at 2 for showtime. It doesn't mater what he says, it just juices the market to get things moving. Volatility will undoubtedly pick up, and if the conditions are right, I will make a scalp trade or 2 that will probably last all of 15 minutes, then I'll pack it in before 4 PM and start looking at the NFL card. I do make money betting the NFL, but that requires allot of study time for me. I watch every game every week, keep track of player injuries, etc... I find that is hard to do consistently and I average just barely squeaking out a profit on a yearly basis. To the tune of about 5 grand or so yearly. Its rough work.
