belly, I understand it is work during those 7 or 8 months that you work. What is it you don't love about it? I can understand if you're griding out numbers or sitting by a computer finding scalps. That wouldn't be fun in my opinion either. But I'm talking about putting in a couple hours research a day and making picks. I do that already and that part is fun to me.
Thanks for the input.
I love my job...enjoy gambling, and the interaction between workers at my job...also enjoy my time off during the slow season...bellyputter, why don't you consider going to Thailand with some of us this year...we are looking at May and June....GREAT.BEAUTIFUL golf courses along with the crazy women.....

I don't mind what I do. While I "sit in front of a screen grinding numbers", my typical work day is more like what most people do when they're at home. I'm always doing something else like surfing the net, watching tv, playing video games or listening to music. Just that when a number at the corner of my eye flashes I take a glance at it. In a typical working hour I doubt I spend more than 10-15 minutes actually working. Unless it's a busy day or the weekend (with games throughout the day), I might only do 30-45 minutes of real work over the day.

That sounds rather enjoyable versus having to show up at a certain hour 5 days a week having to put up with a manager who doesn't have any experience managing people while people kiss his ass so he prefers them over someone who is competent.
There are few words that can describe having to work 5 days a week for 50 weeks a year getting 2 weeks vacation a year and 8 days off for holidays and being chained to a cubicle. I told my friend (who is a professional gambler and chooses when he gets to work) that it's like being in jail with work release. You have to be in jail (the cubicle) for 8 hours a day and only get to go home when not at work.
