    It is worth it, provided you do your homework - which you haven’t. Consider your bankroll, the spread required not only to beat the game but overcome the associated expense of travel Obviously include airfare or gas, Overnight lodging or RV expense, proper nutrition and anything else Included in your modus operandi.

    Aim for 10% expense as a function of revenue and account for variance. You’ll be fine at 15% if that occurs. I play all types Of games including a $100 max game with EV Of a min $25 game. Goatlife, the former Miss America, or was that SmallCap, who plays very high stakes, recently made reference to A crummy sd 6-5 Game, which he simmed at a huge SCORE - he did his homework.

    Homework was done .If we are traveling the country anyway i would not count food ,fuel, if i spent 100,000 for food ,fuel, attractions for a year and i made a 100,000 from bj then the whole trip was free. Sounds like a win to me.

    Since you have all of the answers - good luck.

    Please be careful. Did you ever ask yourself the question of how you will feel if things go wrong and you end up losing that 100k and you are far away from home ? How will you look at yourself in the mirror or face your partner and explain that you lost it all due to variance, fatigue, mistakes...?

    Bobbd - try it out and let us know how it goes. Win or lose I would like to hear your perspective on whether you still think that it is free money after grinding it out.

    You guys are bunch of debby downers .lol . Come on lighten up life is a gamble , id rather try something and fail then never have tried, then i would not be able to look at myself in the mirror. I didnt say it was going to be easy but I worked 40 hrs a week all my life so i dont think i cant handle putting 20 hrs a week in at the tables is that bad. I do know a couple of people that still do it for a living and travel the country making a high 6 ,7 figures.

    Not Debbie Downers, you asked a question, to which, you received many answers, honest answers, from people who know what they are talking about. That's truthful.

    There are a few pro-basketball pro’s that make $30 million a year, so what? Just because you know of a couple of people who make 6-7 figures does not mean you too can do it.

    If you do not try it, you can’t look in the mirror, the rationalization of millions who pursue pro-sports or practice for America got Talent. When you get to 30, maybe you will mature.

    20 hours a week in Las Vegas might be possible but elsewhere and you will get backed off.

    The last thing ill say its going to cost me 50,000 to travel the country doesent matter if i play or not . The other 50,000 is for my bankroll. I 'd like to take a poll of the age and bank accounts of the responders to this thread and their bankrolls . Id bet the average age (not including Don) isnt over 40 yrs old and bankrolls of under 25 k.

    I briefly debated with myself about ignoring you and your silliness, however, your immaturity mixed with unjustified brashness requires me to @ final effort of educating you on your probable March to impending. doom.

    First, your worst case scenario of you hitting bohemian negative variance knocking your 50k bankroll to 25k. Your mad desire to catch up will lead you to Over betting your then decimated bankroll, pushing that 20 hour per week joyride into a miserable 40. Of course, your wife will be uLtra pissed at your neglecting her on your cross country adventure which you will exacerbate by your increasing unpleasantness.

    Now, to answer your question, let me assure you your estimates of average age, bankroll Size are significantly out to lunch. They’re several $1 mil plus net worth individuals who have entered the thread. For myself, I though I would be fully retired by now, however, I still (my duds want me with some amount of activity) I find myself labouring to a gruelling 3-4 hour work week schedule, most of that while playing in my iPad while watching tv. My income from that activity exceeds many full time individuals, my house is paid for, cars are paid for, I carry no personal debt, carry healthy balances in the stock market, rental property almost paid for, and of course there are those far more secure than I.

    For the sake of trivia a standard safety deposit box holds 55kin hundreds. Mine is full, Attached to my numerous stock accounts, I have 1 dedicated to blackjack, earned through blackjack, with a current value of 70k. For BJ, if course I have my float money of 25k plus of course my USD account and carried in another account and a loan out to someone for 25k. BJ funds account for only a small portion if my net worth. I can assure you that others in the thread have far mire than I. I mention these things to let tou know just how far off the mark that you are.

    Good luck in your future endeavours.
