How many times have you tried to go pro?

Just so you understand, a true definition of a professional gambler is one where all his income is derived from gambling

I never have. I always looked at it as a hobby/ entertainment. But I do know some full-time professional gamblers

Last year I was calling myself one, this year I’m not even gambling much because of all the losing, what a turn of events. It sucks too because this is ultimately my passion in life.

Who do you personally know as a professional gambler ?

Krackman is a salesmen not a professional gambler. I‘ll give you FishHead, what does Herbie dabble in as a pro gambler ?

i would love to be a pro. this is my dream to do if i could afford the opportunity. you know how they ask if you were a millionaire what would you still do everyday and from there they say what your job should be? sports gambling is my pick.

recently i have been looking at all of my bets and while my win percentage is good, my ROI sucks. i am betting bad value bets and for sure not following bankroll management though i know i should be. i chase losses too much as well. since it is really entertainment for me giving my current life, i tend to not take it as serious as i should.

I've known krack personally for YEARS. over time he has seemed to turn into somewhat of a salesman but he's a true gambler at heart.

Herbie focuses on mostly EV promotions and video poker

As JJGold so rightfully mentioned. If all income is not “derived” from gambling then you are not a full time true professional gambler. I don’t believe that is the situation for Herbie, even though he might be a +EV gambler in his career.

 

[flyingillini]

Several Bible verses can offer guidance and encouragement to someone pursuing a professional career in sports. Proverbs 16:3 encourages committing one's work to the Lord and trusting in His guidance. Romans 12:11 encourages believers to be fervent in spirit and serve the Lord in all they do. Philippians 2:14-15 emphasizes doing all things without grumbling or complaining, shining as lights in the world.

Herbies primary income is gambling. He does Uber but that's secondary

So he’s a professional video poker player ? The last 12 months I’m up nearly $20,000 playing Baccarat, but I don’t claim to be a professional Baccarat player. I wonder how much he is up playing video poker last 12 months ask him when you see him.

Again, if you can vouch for him, then I’ll believe it because you are one of the closest things to a professional gambler that we have in forumville, so were told.

In the Bible, Ezekiel was commanded by God to bake bread using human dung as fuel to symbolize the defilement and hardship the Israelites would face during a siege. This act was a prophetic sign of the consequences of their disobedience and idolatry.
