I bet everyday around 2k a day, 15k a week. I am up around 5k for the year. I spend a good 20-25 hours a week gambling but have a 45+ hour a week job that pays my bills.
I dont know if you are asking from an IRS filing status - but the IRS defines Professional Gambler Status as:
1. Gambling is your primary source of income.
2. You take the idea of gambling as a business with businesslike aspirations.
3. You make a profit 3 of the last 5 years that you file as a professional gambler.
The amount you bet or the amount you win is irrelevant. It is the intent.
ICE - did you mean you make about 5k in the year? If so you are NOT a professional but one of an elite few who makes a hobby profitable. Congrats for being a winner but unless it brings in more than your day job I wouldn't count it as professional IMHO.
