Very few people know what I do to earn a decent part time income.I'm curious as to how many people actually share their wagering habits with others.For me, only a couple friends and some family members know what I do and how I do it.My mother(80+) cracks me up because she can't comprehend scalping in the simplest terms(very little / no risk with guaranteed profits a majority of the time).

My Wife knows I gamble for fun..but she does not know what my balance is or exactly how much I bet ..thats my business...Just because your married , IMO does not mean you have to share EVERY last detail with your spouse

My wife also knows I gamble, but has no idea how deep it has ever been or what my winnings or losses have been. My gosh, no way I would EVER allow her to know either, especially the winnings as she likes to spend! It doesn't matter if I give this girl a $20 bill or 3-$100 bills, she ALWAYS spends it down to the last dime......:sad3:

for you guys that work and gamble it may not be as big a deal,but when I meet new people or even am talking with people I know,the question is eventually asked"what do you do for work/living". My answer is that I'm a stay at home dad(which I am) but sometimes I wish I was recognized for more than that(though that is the most important "job" IMO). I have always kept the gambling thing quiet, not that I'm ashamed of how I earn my $$, but mostly for security reasons I guess.

Are you thinking they're wondering how you can afford your rock-n-roll lifestyle? What does your wife do for a living, if I may ask?

I say I'm a teacher which is true except that I only teach 3 hours a week. It's funny nobody questions what I do in the rest of my time...as long as they can put you in a category they're satisfied it seems.
 

And thats why they play the game.

I am single so no wife to worry about.

Parents have an inkling, and a few friends, that is all.

Just tell your a top secert agent

And you will have to killem if tell them what you do. No really all my friends know. Maybe that is why I don't have any friends. They always ask how do you get into that and I say you don't want to know. That ussally takes care of the questions. then a again I am the only bum in the under pass that has a laptop and I will work for netteller deposit sign.
