Black Jack asked:
I move out to Las Vegas from Los Angeles at the end of July with $45000 in savings, no job, and my car. As soon as I came out here, I promised myself that I would look for a job in my field and starting working. Well, to make a long story short I started going to the casinos on the strip almost every day and in less than a month I have managed to win $5000 playing blackjack. A game that I am extremely good at . I am not a compulsive gambler by any means and can stop any time. But due to the convenience of casinos open 24-7, the flexibility of playing when I want to, being able to work for myself, set my own hours, and the upside potential of quick earnings and tax benefits ; I am beginning to feel like I could gamble for a living . I am literally going into the casino and making $200-$300 per day effortlessly and I have not had 1 day where i have lost. I feel excited about this and didnt know that gambling could actually be a career. Shoudl I continue or stop and look for a job ?
