    roach infested, break in's, thin walls etc.

    I understand your opinion but i researched this for hours upon hours and i wanna live in a nice place. I promise all of u I will be sucsessful at this.. ill do what it takes.. it's all i think about i love it. Just time to apply all this good capping I been doing here out in Vegas

    Those videos are fantastic.  You actually said "YOLO" in one of them.  I didn't think real people actually say yolo.

    Keep making the videos.

    of course.. every sport... remember bad mlb last year but still profited in mlb between 2013 and 2014...

    also, doubt I will lose every game that is tied late like last year.  I still picked 20 games over .500 in seperate plays in MLB last year even though had a rough year.

    I will be much more disciplined tho.. i was betting every game in sight last year during baseball.. especially the afternoons at work as I was miserable at this dead beat job  and needed something to get through the day.

    Been solid on here for years , but now time to prove it in vegas.

    i got a detailed strategy that i been working on for years.  going to apply it in Sin City.

    Here's what I'm worried about for you.  You made a total profit of $879 over two years of MLB over like 1000 plays.  Even if you make $879 per season on MLB, that's not enough for you to live on during the months when only MLB is going on.  The only way for you to try to get that into "living money" territory is to increase your bets and that will leave you open to massive variation and going bust.

    I would recommend not living in Vegas during the summer or, if you do, skipping MLB and getting a summer job.  Then restart in late August with football.  

    I would recommend not doing this at all, in actuality, but if you are set on it you should at least limit your downside, especially with that pricey apartment you signed a lease on.

    I'll do fine with bases picking my spots. I was betting every afternoon game on the board to literally get through work. Can't wait to get out there

    Just be cautious of the people you meet out there. I can see based off your you tube vids, that you seem like a personable guy who will make friends (male and female) quickly. Watch yourself, cause many of these people sense your affability and will look to take advantage of you. People borrowing money, the drugs, booze, and sex are all going to come calling and you got to have restraint and discipline. Good luck.

    Odds your out there by derby weekend the first Saturday in May(a great Vegas weekend historically)  5 to 1.  Prove me wrong bro. I'm pulling for you.

    You have to have the discipline of a monk when it comes to a social life ... While being in Vegas ... With a lot of time on your hands. 

    Just that is nearly impossible and it isn't even half of the battle. 

    Then you need to cap games at a pretty high clip. 

    You need to have great money management skills for your bets and for your living. Getting an expensive apartment was mistake number one. 

    Having a good time for a few months and spending 30k isn't the worst thing in the world. Have a good time.

    I-80 Nebraska.

    FTS it goes on forever, flat, straight, boring as helll.

    Can take route 80 or route 70 bro.  Gotta check weather first tho as the Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Utah portion of my trip could figure to get a lot of snow i would assume.

    2012 hyundia Sonata...  each time i fill up tank i get 410 miles per gallon..  2500 miles divided by 410 miles so figure fill up 6 times...  high ball it and say $300 total for gas ($50 each fill up)   Hilarious how mapquest says gas will cost me 1.4K lmao

    EDM, Rap, Rock, sports talk and about 7 cans of Dip for my ride out.   I will have the sports talk radio on as well..  Be getting plenty of phone calls, making youtube vids and listening to a few basketball bets i am sure if i am still cruising late at night

    I drive is a big Grind.  I drove from Houston to Vegas once.  Driving to vegas wasn't so bad because you're full of anticipation.  Driving back was some of the longest hours of my life.  Some nice sceneries though.  But we're hoping you won't need to drive back.

    Do it now and at least you'll find out if you're  good enough.  Do it now because having a wife is a dreamkiller.  Do it now because this is what you are excited about in life.

    I too was in your situation.  And I left my accounting job.  The day step out of the office door, I had a feeling that I would never forget.  It was the feeling of freedom.   Now in my mid 30s and self employed, I look forward waking up 95% of everyday(I still have days I want to stay in bed).
