Very unlikely if solely sports betting. Limits are too low to compensate for cold streaks. Unless one wants to live the life of traveling to casino from casino all day every day looking for the best scalps. Not glamorous to say the least...

 

 

Pennies on the dollar.

I don't live in Vegas, but to assume no one there makes a living from sportsbetting is wrong.  I know a few who live there at least part time.  They all also bet online and could live anywhere, but Vegas certainly adds something to the bottom line.

Big Fat Zero. 

 

I know a few professional poker players but they don't stay professional poker players. They can't wait to get a steady job, poker seems to be their side thing. 

 

Sportsbetting = zero. 

I know fishhead = 1.  so there are at least 1 pro gamblers working vegas.

^^ I thought FH makes most his money off VP and generating comps. 

 

His picks record is not that good. 

 

he "cuts corners" to use Boat's term. I don't think he makes money picking winners but he does make a living gambling in some way.

Should be a breeze to make 1K a month if you have. A decent amount of roll. Have as many outs as possible and as said above. Bonus whore, I am up lifetime at every bonus book I've played at and they have all shown me me the door within a month of signing up. You gotta be really bad not to cash out double your deposit with those 200% Freeplays. Go in with a 500 deposit and within 2 weeks you should be up to 1k minimum with the RO completed. Rinse and repeat at other bonus books

Im blessed, there have been very few days over the course of a year over the last 20 something years where I haven't thoroughly enjoyed my occupation.......(this past weekend being one That was not enjoyable, lol).

How do you kill time FH? Gotta think you have a ton of free time without a full time job

Do the Vegas apps offer the same lines that the sportsbooks offer, Fish? If so, that would save a lot of time.

Lines are exactly the same on the apps as at the book, but limits probably not.

 

You will almost always get higher limits if you go to the book in person.

Fish, how many gambling pros do you think there are in the Vegas Valley? I am talking 100% income to be derived from gambling.

Hard to put a number on that, for anyone.

 

Personally, know quite a few, all of whom are involved with sportsbetting and machines(although having played lots of poker, I've never been good enough or had the desire to make a living doing such, so know less than a handful guys that play poker for a living, although there are obviously many more).

 

From a sportsbetting standpoint, again hard to say, as most sportsbettors do their own thing and we don't hang with one another......I only know DINK as an acquaintance, poster Voodoo and myself have been friends for nearly 25 years, and he and me have been betting sports and machines professionally that entire time, Voodoo a little more emphasis on sports, a little more emphasis on machines for myself................, were two of the FEW that partake in both and could make a living doing each separately. We are lucky at TGF, Lived in this city a long time, and Voodoo one of the sharpest sports guys in this city and RMI one of the sharpest Videopoker guys, and both are my best of friends in this business.

 

From a videopoker/machine standpoint, know most all the individuals that make a living doing such in this city and that's many more than I know personally from a sports standpoint, a lot, as mentioned above, because of circumstances.
