If you lost your job, do you think you could get by just gambling?

Iceman · May 14, 2006

Do you think you could make enough money a month to pay your bills for a year and not go backwards, focusing on this FULL TIME.

You would need a huge SEPERATE bankroll (IMO) so you weren't playing with scared money and not sure the stress level, knowing you need it to live would effect your results.

Would you be unable to find another comprable job if you busted out?

whalewager · May 14, 2006

I think I could. I might try some day. I have put more thought into this than anything else. you have to have balls for one. You have to be able to make large bets without over thinking shit. you have to be a lucky person in general i think. you would have to be select in your plays and dont always play what should happen. pick dogs. i think i could.

Iceman · May 14, 2006

Probably could, but would have to change my CURRENT style of living

Bourn · May 14, 2006

yeah i hear ya. I make too much money to quit. My job is easy and I love it. BUT my ultimate goal would be just like that Corona commercial.....sitting in a chair in the caribbean drinking with a hot chic i just met the night before and i would be making plays with my lap top...that sounds perfect to me!!

The less gambling outcome means the better I do.

I just had I think my best year.

But in the old days when I said man I hope I have a good sunday because
I really could use the money to help out with rent etc, I did awful.

So no, I dont think I could get by on gambling alone.

...nevermind i was going to say something

Been doing it for long time now, but it get tougher every year. One has to do other things besides just bet sports. Besies trying to beat the sports year round is alot tougher than you might think.
One way for you to find out, is just do it.

Was involved in a corporate layoff about 5 years ago. Decided to give it a go with not much money. Now in great shape financially. Hundred times better financially that I would have been continuing the corporate life. I think in some ways it has taken its toll healthwise though. Gets easier to win every year, with now what is basically a monopoly money bankroll.

TTinCO · May 14, 2006

If I had some type of super telekentic power to make the ball landed where I wanted it to in roulette then I would definatly do it. That would be the coolest thing ever. Imagine all the girls you could steal away from guys and you could piss off all the pit bosses and stuff.
