Collegegambler, having a job can really be mundane, but it provides you with financial security. EVERY gambler experiences cold streaks, but once you quit your job, the stresses of the losses will become exponentially greater.
I would wish you well, as I had the same aspirations as you many years ago. But I was very naive, and thought I had reinvented the gambling wheel. And mentioning "locks" makes you doomed for failure before you even start your trek.
My best advice would be to chase your dream, since you are not going to let anyone stop you from doing so. But don't burn any job bridges on your way out, regardless of how bad you want out.
Also, once a losing streak hits, or after just a couple of big losing bets, and you have to get that teller job to survive, you will probably be miserable taking bets from all the broke degenerates that hang out in the Vegas sports books.

Everything about making a living from gambling seems glamorous, but the reality is that there are few, if any that can do it in the long run. 
this is spot on
Oh dear.... Let me know when you need a job...
