In trying to define the term "professional gambler," the starting point, logically enough, might be "using winnings as your sole financial support," but there's got to be more to it than simply winning more than you lose...hell, "Luck Happens."
I submit it would require some form of skill AND DISCIPLINE which most folks lack.
Take the case of Archie Karas, who turned a ten thousand dollar loan into forty million in winnings...and then quickly lost it all: I submit that in losing it all back rather quickly he showed that he lacks the discipline to be a professional gambler.
Lots of swinging dicks spend a shit load of time in the casinos but that expenditure of time means nothing viz. being a "professional:" a line must be drawn between "professional gambler" and "degenerate gambler."

Well-heeled or not and winner or not---it's what continuing degenerate gamblers do.
If you can support yourself, the only discipline you would need is to always play +EV situations.Quote:

Still, you're an alcoholic Wolf and that speaks to some kind of addiction in your make up.Quote:

It is about the action for this player. THAT is what makes a degenerate gambler. The need for action. And from Rob's earlier post, he has such a need.

Pioneer Woman. I've been to Pawhuska. It has a surprisingly nice little downtown area. The movie, Killers of the Flower Moon is about that area. Home of the Osage Indians.Quote:

I didn't quote redietz. I wrote what my memory told me. I was off a little. So what?Quote:

What you are missing is redietz has said repeatedly that you can't measure EV in sports betting. But there he was on his site claiming he could produce a 10 to 12% earn for clients. He was selling EV to clients. If he truly believed that EV can't be measured, and wanted to be honest/truthful about it, then he would have told them there is no way to measure how much he could make, or not make, for them.

And stop your lying, kewl.
The fact is a lot of pros are not degenerates because a real degenerate will shoot off their roll. In poker world they can get loans and if they book it is a bit different. Actually a lot of slot pros are also fairly degenerate. But many of the degenerates are being pumped up by family money too. Funny world the gambling world.
Same here (see below). BTW, I had no problem posting the December promo here at VCT since Nitrobetting was starting to get a little testy (see e-mail below) with me back in November when I hammered their November promo and I didn't want to risk having issues with withdrawing if I hammered any of their promos (shown below) again. It's funny, we shouldn't bet Parlays and yet Nitrobetting restricts using them towards rollover progress (along with Poker and Casino games). It's weird that such throwaway bets like Parlays get lopped into the same risk averse category as Poker and Casino Games (like blackjack,craps and video poker). Weird man, just weird. It's foolish to think lowly APs can make money at the books.Quote:

I can't get any new bonuses until I make up for my cashouts. They are very strict on VPN usage, I got a nasty Email and had to do this that, and the other thing to allow them to let me cash out.Quote:

You can VPN their casino games to play US-restricted providers' games, but just before you withdraw you should turn your VPN off or (as you found out - like me) it will be rejected. It becomes riskier and riskier to deposit and use the bonus there because each time you want a new bonus you must deposit the amount you withdrew plus enough money to get the next bonus. They were getting very testy with me and I became scared to deposit $1600 (IIRC that was the last withdrawal I had and that was back in November) plus another $500 or whatever for the next 300% bonus, as I got the feeling that they would just take the money. Plus I got contradictory answers. As you saw in the e-mail they say I was ineligible. But in chat, they said I was eligible but I had to put in my last withdrawal amount (plus an additional amount for the deposit bonus [up to $500]). Better safe than sorry IMHO.Quote:

Assuming they are paying everyone out, I'm not clear on how these guys haven't gone bankrupt.
30x roll D+B most people will lose everything. A handful of smart players isn't going to do much harm.Quote:

I have a good friend I told about this place who is playing there now, I feel she will do very well as her first deposit was larger than my test deposit.
