    What makes a "semi-pro"?

    Just curious here... Is it tracking all expenses for each trip, knowing how to count with 100% accuracy and not giving the pit any cause for concern, memorization of all indexes, etc.

    I know this is a very subjective question but just looking for general guidelines on what differentiates an amateur/sem-pro/pro? TY in advance!

    A pro makes his living playing the game.

    A semi-pro pays some bills, buys some trinkets/toys or takes vacations on the game but makes his living from other means.

    An amateur plays for fun and isn't really concerned to much about profit. They may not be playing with an advantage.

    This is just my opinion though. Others may have different opinions.
