I hate to "rot" the sugar plums dancing in your head, but please seriously
reconsider. Las Vegas is NOT the the fairytale land portrayed on TV and
advertisements. If you had a $75,000/yr job waiting, or you were stuck in
a sub-30K a year job, that's one thing, but your sportsbetting venture is
a huge favorite to fail miserably. $45K yr ain't that bad at 23.
Don't take my word for it though, try this......
Take a 1 or 2 (if possible) week vacation from your job-
Before you go, get set up to "work." Plan your unit size,
send a cashiers check, large enough to cover a bad run,
to the Casino cage that will be your main hangout
1)Don't do anything but work while you're there. Find +EV
on sports bet and that's it. Work 80 hours per week so that
you can get a taste of what it's really going to be like.
2)Don't party or go to shows, just work. See if you really
dig betting sports in Vegas. Most importantly make damn
sure you are betting with an edge.
Several experienced posters have given you some excellent advice. It would be in your best interest to carefully consider it.

how much of a bankroll are you starting with? I think without 20k you will be playing with scared money and unless you are putting 150k a month thru betting wise than it wouldn't be worth it. If you win 2% on your money bet you will make 3k a month which is OK money. Just my opinion.

hno: 45k a year at 23. Wouldn't call it shitty. And you work "banker's hours".
Please stay where you are for your sake.

I am always curious as to why people would move to Vegas if their dream is sports betting. Vegas won't even take real bets anymore.
