Default Becoming a gambler because you are not

really good at anything else?

This seems like a possibility for me. I'm not really good at anything, and what I consider myself to be good at is playing music. I'm not even that good at that and It's very hard to make a living that way. This does not mean I won't stop playing music, I just don't think it would work out. I'd be a starving artist.

I sure don't want to work as a slave wager for some corporate company.

I think I might move to Vegas.

I'm 23 years old with nothing, so I don't got to much to lose.

It seems that when you are a gambler you are working for yourself. I rather be doing that then working minimum wage jobs for nothing.

Just rambling.

Make sure you got some money for a "rainy day" if you do this. I suggest you have a solid bankroll before leaving a job or something to do this.

and as MarlinFan said, you better have a solid bankroll for shit days. If you say you have noting Im guessing you dont have much of a bankroll either? Im not judging, just trying to figure out if you have the basics to start living of gambling/sportsbetting.. Its one thing to have a horrible job but its worst to be a starving gambler.

With a job(good or bad) you know youre getting paid everyday you go to work.

That would be so cool to just gamble for a living. I know a lot of people do this in card games but sports?
