Keep the poker questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: Is It Quite Possible to Make a Living off Poker And/or Sports Betting? Do You Know Many People Who Do?
Answer: Yes, people do make livings off of poker. My cousin spends 3-4 hours a day at the casino poker room, 5 days a week. He makes about 700-1000 a week. My other friend plays online poker for about 30 hours a month and makes around 600 a month. He has another job though. So while it’s not enough to support him fully, it’s enough to pay off his car and pay for his food and have some left over to save. Playing poker for a living requires a lot of commitment. It’s not just luck, there is skill involved. If you have what it takes, you can do it.
Sports betting is much more difficult to make a living off of. The results are out of your hands. There are many factors to take in to play. Researching all the possible factors for each event and playing the odds to choose the most likely winner can take a lot of effort. I’d say that would be the only way to really overcome the odds. Otherwise it’s a guessing game.

Sure it is, there are two ways to do it.
1) Practise until you’re good enough, then target big games.
2) Cheat.
