Would you allow your daughter to date a professional gambler....

[gijoe]

i would love it because i would be going out with him more than the daughter. i would want to see how good this guy is as a professional gambler and how much he makes. a lot of these professional gamblers are all talk. "show me the money"

Not any different being a "gambler" than someone trading stocks, working for an airline that goes bust or a person owning a waterfront restaurant that gets destroyed by a storm. Disaster and bankruptcies can strike any ill prepared profession. Most serious "gamblers" have saved a rainy day fund.

However, if she's 19 and living at home, her tail will be in the house at a reasonable hour and not laying out with new beau until 3am watching Hawaii/San Jose State.

What about me? Professional Poker Player who graduated with a business degree from a top business school(IU). I don't plan to do this the rest of my life as I plan to start my own business or I can always fall back on my parents business. Approve?

I shouldn't be dating Fishhead, think I would let my daughter?!!!:monsters-

I wouldn't want to be a hypocrite so would have to open-minded.

I would need proof that the person has made money (equivalent to a good salary) for the past 5 years and that his gambling work doesn't occupy more hours than would say a full-time job.

If the guy could provide the above evidence including bank statements, neteller withdrawls etc and a detailed explanation into his methods that would pass my "sustainability" tests and provide proof that he wasn't into any other vices which tends to be the case with most gamblers then sure I'd give him a chance.

Or she could just say "screw you, I'm an adult and I make my own decisions" and run off with him. Either way.

If it were my daughter (which I don't have - only have 1 year old son), she'd ask for that criteria BEFORE I did!

Good question....As there are many young guys on the poker circuit that are doing quite well. I know a few of these guys and they have money, now i really have to wonder about some of em's charcter. But on the other hand "what" if "any" of these youngsters dontcha have to wonder about?
