Minimum wager professional gambler

[jjgold]

The bare minimum is 500 but I don’t think you could make it. It’s probably more over 1000.

You can't survive on minimum wage nowadays. Don't even think about gambling. It's just not in the cards.

I would define a pro as someone who can make his nut every month and has developed great money management skills

all you need is one offshore to stiff you and then you are in a bad spot

There is no minimum just define your bankroll as that which you can afford to lose in order to try to win.

Most go part time, with another source of income, that's a good way to start, and hopefully you can grow that roll.

That's why you only play with trusted/rated books

thats true but they typically dont give bonuses more than 10%

i could see a way to make $25,000 a year if you were getting 50% cash bonuses or higher, which gets you into mid-tier books and then the chance of a stiff job

What do you have to hit 56%?

What do you have to hit 56%?

to make $25,000 a year

$25,000 a year non-tax is like $68 profit per day

so if you risked $570 a day. and at 56% win rate made $319 and lost $251 then you make $68 a day

 

[jjgold]

Kolzig good breakdown

Seems attainable, but it’s obviously not enough to make a living.
