Is it possible to train someone under you to become successful also?

My cousin just moved to town and he has asked me to show him the ropes.. I just think I would be throwing gas on a fire??

I'm asking for trouble don't u think? Harnessing the power of $$ and the ability to not let it ruin you emotionally

No. Everyone has to put their time in and experience the bumps and bruises for themselves.

If he wants to learn, then yes. If you tell him something and he does the opposite, then it would be lesson over as far as I'm concerned.

No, I don't think so. Besides the difficult learning curve, it all comes down to discipline. Nobody has it, it's a learned behavior that most will never learn. The human brain isn't built for speculation of any kind without retraining everything in it.

Could not agree more with the above, you have to have a passion for this to be even a bit successful and I'm not sure todays kids do........

Yes. It depends on the teacher and obviously the person can't have a compulsive pathology.

I've mentored 2 buddies who understood the object was to make money, not to gamble. Also had 1 other with compulsion issues who I helped stop gambling (gave him the GA 800 number). He was way out control, couldn't teach him anything; nonstop gambler.

No, because after looking at everything I might look at in CBB, at the end of the day it often times comes down
to intuition or that gut feeling whether to make a play or stay away moo

Sometimes, something tells me to stay away
