Minimum needed to live the dream

Let me clarify

If you are going to rent an apartment the cheapest you will find is maybe a studio for around 500 a month

so thats 6500 for the year including security deposit

You will have BillsAnd any 500$ a month pad is going to be a dump in crime infested area--of which Vegas has many--alot of other folks who tried to"live the dream" and ended up donating to Steve  wynn(orwhoever)

Electric,gas,cable and or satalite, phone and internet with the summers and winters lets say your total for these bills is another 300 per month

thats 3600 per year

You will need a car, Lets say your car is payed off just to be nice with insurance and gas and maintenence you are looking at 300 per month

thats another 3600 for the year

now food, dining in dining out going out to movies, dating once in a while if you have a life say another 400 per month, Im being ultra conservative here on a tight behind budget

thats 4800 per year

add medical insurance another 150 per month thats 1800 per year

from bottom to top

1800

4800

3600

3600

6500

thats 20K to 23K depending on your life style

Now in order for you to have a chance in hell of being successfull You will need that money just to live on for 12 calender months

Now you need a bankroll

trying to win 100 per day is not feasable Its just not

You will have to be ultra selective and bet a nickle a game until you reach a desired goal for the month a desired goal would be 3k

Pay attention here its the most valuable lesson in this reply

You need to come up atleast 7 wagers won over the wagers you lost.

You are giving yourself 30 calender days to reach this goal, its the only way to make this type of move without going bust

so 500 a day is what you must have for wagering with the swings of wins and losses you need 500 a day x 60 days atleast 30K

so I was wrong when I said 100K You need atleast 50K

thats my opinion and in my case if I ever decided to do something so irresponsible I have a family, I would need atleast 150K because my expenses are double to tripple.

But good luck.

It really all comes down to preparation and discipline. Never overbet your stake, 2% of bankroll should be the maximum bet size per wager. Its imperative you manage your bankroll and only increase bets as bankroll grows. if you have 10k your max bet should be 200$ to ensure the swings dont bankrupt you, and ther WILL be swings. Never chase losses and never double up. Take a loss and come back tommorrow. It is VITAL to keep accurate records of your results in order to make adjustments to your strategy and to keep losses to a minimum. Be very selective do not invest in 8-12 games a day, 3-5 plays are more than enough if you have experience and consistently hit between 54-60%.

GL to all, this is not impossible and many make a great living of of investing in sports. Sports wagering when pursued sensibly involves the same deductive reasoning skills as trading a put or a call option in the financial markets. Realizing an attractive risk adjusted retrun whether it exists in the stock market, treasury bond or a baseball game is a prudent investment.
