How much do you make a year betting?

[Jordan23]

I'm interested in knowing how much some people make a year betting. I know some people make more than others.

Anybody?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

make?

[Flying Dutchman]

between one to two zillion shekels a year...

[LLXC]

Pennies per hour probably...but it's fun.

[Jordan23]

make?

Lose? Surely you don't lose!

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Lose? Surely you don't lose!

I would not gamble if I lost.

i was reading a thread by performify who's a fairly talented sounding guy on another site, guy only made 30K in 2005 and then again 30K in 2006. man's been gambling since he was in high school and was mentored by a bookie! he models and has had many successful seasons.

30K wouldn't keep my wife in nail polish.

LOLz

That's not a lot of money at all.. Surely there are people out there who make 100K a year wouldn't you think? Thanks for the input!

[Jordan23]

And women are expensive, my friend!

Yea for sure there are people here who make way more - but i hear that for the middle to higher intelligence/skilled sort of guy things are getting much tougher. i think for the next decade you gotta be upping your game.

the really elite type guys are still doing well i think... but totally guessing man, hopefully some pointy or maybe even fully sharp type dude can help you out.

[pedro803]

well,.....if I get enough fiber and drink cofee at least 5 days a week, I make every day!

[goucla]

i made 45,000 in like six weeks and have spent the last year giving it all back, one after another bad beat

If you are truly profitable it becomes more about profit in percentages pertaining to BR that really matter and not so much about "dollar amount". Everyone's BR is different. In the long run you wanna be the guy who can make 30k a year on a 100k roll more so over the guy who made the same amount with a million dollar roll- ya know?

Everyone needs to set goals. (Realistic ones)

I think that is the biggest problem newbies have is they dont have a realistic goal and they get that glimmer in their eye and they think they can turn 2k into 20k in one year and then when they hit a bad stretch panic sets in and then the chasing begins and of course the next thing you know there is a thread in PT titled "ALL IN ON TEXAS TODAY!"

Those threads dont seem to usually work out too well.

More than zero.

[Thremp]

If you can't turn 2k into 20k in your first year, go back to shift managing the local KFC.

This is a truthatude

right, but the real trick is doing 10X again...

Folks, take this to the bank:

if you are posting at SBR in any serious kind of way: YOU ARE WASTING TIME THAT SHOULD BE SPEND ON HANDICAPPING!!!

What does this mean to you noobs? All these "Pros" are all wanna-bes.

The real deals lurk, gather data, and post very little.

"Thank you, thank you verrry much"...

such a hard question because gambling is scalable unlike say, poker. So it really should be a question of how many units can you make and how many units is your average bet size. The dollar amount is just completely arbitrary.

LOL no. The majority of my bets are limit bets, and it's rarely because I didn't want to bet more.

What sort of money are we talking about before you run into getting money down problems? i mean beards and messing with your IP and fake names, getting screwed by associates...

i mean the epic story of 1 man and his puter vs the world. what do ya say he can make in a year if he doesn't have to spend it all on stress medication and counseling.

[blanda]

Lose about 1,000 per year...

[Inspirited]

I mean, if I had a $50,000 BR betting $1,000 flat per game I'd made $19,000 up to this point in the NBA season, but I don't have that BR.

So according to this logic anyone who cant to turn 2k into 2 million in 3 years should go back to KFC.

Ya allright then.

[IrishTim]

Enough to pay for beer and the occasional steak dinner. But I'm getting better every day - that's the key in my opinion. The money will come eventually.

Keep in mind he's not saying one could do that after the first year, for a number of reasons.

[Jordan23]

Thanks for all the input guys!
