    On the verge of making major career move... may have to stop gambling for awhile

    Just convinced the woman I live with that it would be a good move.

    Handing in resignation Monday from current job. Taking a sales job that is 100% commission. Major changes ahead for me boys, going to have to drop the sports package till I get on my feet. BetIslands will not be receiving many deposits from me in the next few months.

    Here I go boys, I am all in except this is in real life not on a sports bet or a card table. Love the rush.

    Good move. I'm 100% for it. Nothing great in life is accomplished without risk.

    As far as being straight commission.....only way to go. Let your performance decide your worth. Not some jagoff that might not like what cologne you wear.

    You're either a money motivated type of person, or you're not. You'll find this out for yourself soon enough. Nothing inspires like desperation.

    This is a good move. Time to quit fukking around. Go make your mark.

    Don't see how people quit gambling or quit drinking. My parents didn't raise me to be a quitter. A loser yes but not a quitter. GL Grizz save all that money up before football season and put it all on the Eagles to win the super bowl guaranteed money.

    100% commission is gambling. So you really are not quitting, just gambling on something that is not in the sportsbook.
