I read a article and supposedly only about 50 professional gamblers in the world make more than $50k a year. just some useless info

Figure is miles out, there are 100+ in Australia and the UK alone.
Problem for many is.....and something people who either don't win or win but bet small stakes don't realise is.....no Bookmaker.com/?cmpid=4437" target="_blank">Bookmaker on the planet wants their business. First they will mark your account (limit what u bet and reduce odds). Then they will close your account, this goes for all Bookmaker.com/?cmpid=4437" target="_blank">bookmakers.

There are ways around it, which I'm certainly not about it discuss in a public forum

One of the things u can do....say u are a pro who earns around 100K per year, that would mean a standard bet of 1-4K. Lets say the event in question the book is limiting u to 500.....you simply spread your bets around, 500 or so with 4 Bookmaker.com/?cmpid=4437" target="_blank">Bookmakers or more.

The good thing about USA sport is though even for winners the limits are generally much higher. For many other global sports this is not the case. It is common to be limited to 500 or less.

I actually wrote an article for cappersmall, on the whole subject of pro gambling :

I don't imagine Jack will have a problem with me posting it here....


Article :


Do you have what it takes to be a pro gambler?


This article is in particular for people who wonder whether you yourself, or someone you know can make a living off the income from sports betting.
I have been a semi or fully professional sports gambler for 14 years. Its been a long and early on especially a bumpy ride. Starting out for the first 5 years nearly everyone doubted me succeeding. To be fair those first 5 years or so, were when most of my mistakes where made.
Ahead to today and my capping methods are now at a point where it takes me far less time to cap my card for the day than what it used to. My results are as good as ever and some of those same people who doubted me initially, now never question my success or not. They know I grind out profits year after year. Yes I have losing weeks, but in the long term I come out ahead. One of the best things I like about my life I live, is being able to have the freedom to do what I want when I want and no boss telling me what to do.


Below is a checklist :


*You need the discipline to stick to your capping methods for all bets and never force a bet.

*Many years of experience in the game. That has taught you to never to chase and bet a too high a % of your bankroll.

*Capping methods that produce a proven long term record of profit. A big enough bankroll so that yearly average R.O.I. (return on investment) is enough to live on.

*Do you take to sports gambling like a duck takes to water? In other words do you grasp sports betting terms and meanings and concepts easily? or do you often have to go over them many times before you understand.

*Passion for sports betting. Without this your longevity won't cut it.


If you answered yes to all those questions you are a rare breed and have a legitimate shot. On the other hand If you answered no to any of the above, I'm afraid the reality is you are unlikely to make it. Harsh it may sound, but that is the reality.
The ratio of those who can make it is estimated to be around 1-2%. To this day everyone I have talked to who has shown an interest, I have advised them NOT to try and live off the income of sportsbetting. If I ever meet and have a conversation to the exceptional person who I believe can make it, I will tell them so, but as I say I'm yet to go there.
