a handful do it...
and very few of those people started out doing it for a living and are still doing it...
most hit a lick early and kept doing it by investing in other things...
dont let people fool you...no one that you know or ever will know makes a living by only betting...no one
one other thing...scalpers and middlers that will chime in and tell you they do...sure...they may make a living but its minimal....and the work they have to put in makes it undesirable

Why is it so hard? I constantly see people that are up 80+ units in one sport one season. If they bet $1000 a unit they would have a nice income just from one sport one season. Obviously they would need to have money saved up first but it doesnt seem that hard for people that can win at that rate.
I think the 1% = 1-unit thing is the biggest bullshit here, even among the respected posters. Think about it, if you play $100 a unit you have a working bankroll of $10,000, really ? I doubt it, alot of cats here still play out of pocket if not they are playing $10-$50 a rattle which would give them a bankroll of $1,000 to $5,000, asssuming the 1% rule. Let's just focus on helping each other win, no matter what your unit is or what percentage it is. Nj
Not everyone uses the 1% rule. I my self dont use that at all. I normally just deposit a lump sum amount of money in my account and on I go. My units are by $100. I can tell you I dont deposit $10,000 to gamble. I start off with $1,000 in my account and it goes from there.
I personally don't think much people can make a living from gambling. It is hard and at times you get in a slump and it hurts when that happens. Thats when money management comes into play or take some breaks.

i have wagered over 1000$ on a wager...and let me tell you, losing it is not fun...especially when you do not have 100,000$ to back it up...playing within your means is the key to winning long term...and let me tell you, if you don't, you WILL end up losing...that said, I do think that you can have a 10,000$ bankroll, play 500$ a unit, get a little lucky, and build up enough and play selectively enough, you can make a small income...that said, all it would take was one bad weekend/streak and you could end up truly broke....
