real interesting thread for sure! I stopped reading the second you said you were an alcoholic. As an 33 year old recovering alcoholic who's been sober for over two years, I can say you will most likely fail if you keep partying your behind off. When I was drinking it was my dream to bet on sports and not have to work a normal job so I could continue my lifestyle. But it wasn't till I sobered up that I actually was able to make money (playing daily fantasy). Good luck though

I drink maybe 2-3 times a month only.

i want no part of the booze anymore.. don't even get the urge.. just hard when i start those 2-3 times a month to actually stop..

staying away from the bottle and focused on doing great in vegas.

just locked in my apartment...  available Feb 8th... so got a few weeks to kill.   still might leave the end of next week now and just live in a hotel for a while..  so excited to get out there.   not even wanting to reload money in my online books right now, want the real thing out in vegas

well either way, it's a bold move. Since you love to talk about your record I'll have you know that I went 318-213-15 (59.89%) this MLB season and up $21,750. But I don't think I would ever consider moving to Vegas to just bet baseball. Just from what I've read and seen (from your videos) you're going to get caught up in the Vegas lifestyle and it's going to eat you alive

Wow that is impressive work bro. It's a combination of betting all day and living somewhere new which has me so excited. My apartment looks sick. Got two connections for jobs I found out I can use but I just wanna bet soley at first and see how that starts out. Nice to have them as fallbacks tho

Check my season long nfl thread. Not sure on Sunday yet. I post all plays there. Follow me YouTube channell if u want. Search "College Gambler" spelt like that with a space.... Last day of work tommorow... Just locked in apartment.. It's exactly what I wanted.. Move in date 2/8/15. Was orginally going to leave next week but it's crazy to pay for hotel for 14+ days. Still gotta get my Obama care and do some odds and ends here. Either leave Super Bowl week and spend some time in hotel or 2/2 right after the Super Bowl so can time it where I arrive near move in day. Very, very excited.. Will do a YouTube vid once I officially walk out of these work doors in jersey shittty for the last time tommorow

At your age you should be able to buy a no-frills policy for $100 or so.  We got one of those for my now-wife before we were married when she went to a job that didn't offer health insurance through Blue Shield.  I think it was $98 a month.  (If it had covered potential maternity benefits it would have been a lot more, but as a man you don't have to worry about that.)  We were about the same age as you are now when we did that.

Of course, that was before Obamacare.  Between that and all the state mandates (policies have to cover port wine stains in certain states, etc.) health insurance is a total mess.  But the politicians are smarter than us, they know about our health, about our risk, about our money, so they tell us what's best for us.

Your dead! Been following this thread and you as a capper. Truth is you are not a pro capper. Your a gambler who has run good. Good luck out there buddy but I got a bad feeling about your decision.

LOL.  I believe in you kid.  Why can't you be a top 5%er who actually makes money?  Just remember, every success story starts amid a crowd of disbelievers.  That's not your problem, it's theirs.

Last day at work a little emotional?  Fukk emotions.  They have no place in your heart where you are headed.  Stay focused and don't look back.

I'm very impressed that your coworkers had a little going away lunch for you today.  Most bosses don't care these days.  Very good that you do not burn bridges with employers.  Can't always be helped.


College Gambler youtube channel for anybody who wants to follow along...

Also like the way you talk about step by step.  Too many guys think they can just jump ahead.  Sorry, there is A PROCESS for everything in life if you want to be successful.  Took me about 30 years of life to learn that so you are ahead of me kid.

Stay focused and protect that bankroll at all times.
