QUESTION: Do you introduce yourself as a gambler?

[big0mar]

When you first meet people?

"Hi, I'm Omar. George Mason University, class of 2005. Professional gambler"

Do you find it makes others uncomfortable? Suspicious?

[Iona]

I am not a Professional Gambler...so...no, I do not introduce myself as such.

I am a recreational player, and even that I would not share with those that I do not know.

[ryanspeer2001]

I wouldn't introduce myself as one unless I was a professional and even then it had to be situational. But if someone asks me or I get to know them for more than 5 mins then sure I'll tell them.

Yes I did

If you go to a bar with a beat up 70's Trans Am wearing $10 jeans and $5 t-shirt and a plastic watch and you introduce yourself as a Professional Gambler they will laugh. The point is if you are a professional gambler you have to act like one and show off without giving people the chance to question you.

When I meet people down here in Chile, they often ask what I am doing for work, and I do let them know I gamble for a living. Most people find it fascinating since they have come to Chile either to retire or taken a job at the university or something of the like. And a lot of people just assume Im a degenerate moments away from going broke. But either way, I have no problem filling them in as to what I do and how I make a living.

[stealthyburrito]

Yes I did

omar, as a big time gambler, i'm sure you've donated plenty and are responsible in part for the recent mega expansion the university is currently undergoing.

i will be on the lookout for Omar Hall. God Bless you!

[Chandler]

I don't usually list all my hobbies to people when I first meet them

Have you been there lately?

I hadn't been on campus in a couple of years. Went a couple of weeks ago and place looks entirely different.

Unreal how they're expanding

[jjgold]

No

I am a professional camera installer so why would I introduce myself as a gambler??

I do not even tell most people here I gamble

yes, visited campus a few times over the holidays. GMU is the next up and coming powerhouse university, not just in VA, but in the country. anyone with a degree from there will only see the value of it increase exponentially over the next few decades.

they are enveloping Fairfax atm, i just hope they do go emminent domain on my folks' asses

Omar, you are a smart poster, always ahead of the curve. know i see why, top notch education in hand.

[xkgb]

[Rio DiNero]

Financial Consultant

[Casperwaits]

When I was younger, I did. Now, it tends to bring up more questions than answer. Unless it's someone I am going to have in my life awhile, I don't talk about my gambling.

[JohnGalt2341]

Wouldn't Professional Sports Handicapper sound better?

[mikeanite]

i tell ppl i'm a investor, but that raise more questions, lol.

You live in Chile? My Grandpa immigrated to America from Chile. Still have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins down there. Im actually going to be there for a few months at this time next year
