This is basically a 2 part question. Answer with what category you fall in first.

1) for the guy that makes his living gambling(poker or sportsbetting). What would you do for a living if you didn't bet?

2) for guys that puts time in everyday but at different levels, how would you spend your time?

I fall into question 2 but at a high level I think. Not sure what I would do. I use to play softball 4 nites a week and went to the bar 3 nites (most times the same nites) all through my twenty's. Most likely watch alot more TV (I sometimes go days with even turning the TV on).

Really interested in guys who fall into question 1 as what they would do for a living without gambling?

1) Programming, Game Design, University funded Research on related issues / seminars (an industry I plan to return to in the not too distant future).

My gambling drops off drastically during baseball season because I umpire over 150 games a year at levels ranging from little league to college. If I wasn't gambling during the other months of the year (September through March), I would probably spend more time at the bar or watching tv. I manage my time well with the aspect of gambling in it right now where I think it doesn't take up so much time that it affects other parts of my life... maybe if it became more lucrative it would though. haha

Go back to the stock market(CNBC instead of ESPN and Fox Sports). I sold the only stock I have owned in the last 22 months yesterday, TAP(Molson-Coors). Wagering on sports is much easier for me because the playing field is in my favor. The stock market has too many bad bounces and buzzer beaters. Good Luck

I would come up with poker challenges to give me something to do.

Its been almost 3 weeks since I placed a wager...and this was after 10+ years of betting everyday. I have spent more time w/ my family and freinds. I have started taking some classes on-line to get more education and I have also picked up on-line Scrabble...dont miss betting at all.

The hardest part for me is coming down (first 48 hours) off a 3-4 month run of betting daily....I get over it pretty quick though. ...I have no problem taking off for several months at a time....I really miss it though if I were to not bet the big event times like the Bowl season, NFL playoffs, March Madness...I really wouldn't want to bet every single day all year, if I start losing I will pull out for many weeks if I feel like it.
