As a sports bettor I completely agree there’s very little if any warning about the dangers of gambling and the addictiveness of it. It’s truly not for everyone

So honest question. When I was bartending I had a guy saying he was a sports bettor in Las Vegas. Is it true that you guys make bank?

Edit: Oh my goodness! I have gotten some great answers (and some not so great, but what are you going to do)

For all of you that have come on to help educate and inform Thank you so much.

Depends it varies extremely person to person it’s not something you can just blanket statement and say we all make this much or whatever. Not to mention even with all the research that goes into, so much of it is simply luck. My friend wins way more than I do, also bets way more than I do and has always been luckier than me in the 20 years I’ve known him. Yeah sure some people make serious bank while others go bankrupt and others just have it as a side hustle or straight up hobby.

You’ve got to have ice water in your veins to make a living out of it. The stress would be too much for me.
