Just because somebody saves up 30k, that doesnt mean that they are now able to gamble for a living the rest of their lives because thats their dream job.
Its great hes having a fun time right now, but hes not even preparing for the future and this gig failing.
I have already said it many times, he is not built for being a pro gambler, way to may personality disorders.
I just would hate to see his best earning years pissed away, because he was chasing some dream that maybe 3-5 percent in the world are capable of pulling off
I believe there are very few who would describe their early, mid and late twenties as their "best earning years". Typical American males best earning years are from the mid 40's to the early 60's.
But that is not the main point of your statement.
Your main point brings up several other questions...namely, how does one prepare one's self for a professional sports wagering career? I mean, as far as I know, there are no university level courses in that specific field of study. Of course, you could study statistics, mathematics, computer sciences, etc., etc...but nothing directly, head on "Sports Wagering and Investment 101".
I believe I am safe in saying that everyone who did achieve that exalted status of the 3-5% crowd did it in the school of trial and error and hard knocks. And what better time to go to that school than right now for CG?
No wife, no kids, no commitments. Many, many years of earning potential ahead of him should he need to go back to work.
Your statements make no logical sense. Logically, this is the best time for him to be in this graduate course. Don't take me wrong, he has thumbed his nose at some very good professors with some very good and valuable advice here at Covers Professional Sports Investor Academy. He has made some F grades on some of his tests so far...but he has not flunked out.
There is still the possibility that he could pass the course. If there was ever a time, it is now. Not later....NOW.
His 30k tuition is small fry compared to what he would be paying for a couple of semesters at any other top level business graduate school in the country.
There is plenty of time to prepare for the future. There is only ONE time to find out if he has what it takes to be the 3-5%.
Lighten up. Be a teacher...a professor. So what if he doesn't listen all the time. Give the information. Some of it will seep in by osmosis. Even if he has to learn the hard way, the more he hears of the right way to do things and then has his experience correlate and confirm it, he will start picking it up.
