Would you rather make 100k a year at a normal 9-6 job, or make 50k gambling full time?

There are definitely a lot of "what if" to this scenario

Depending on what the 9-6 job is....

If its something like sniffing panties of Asian college girls and trying to copy that smell to a perfume or something, DEFINATELY 9-6 job.
But if it is something like driving to rest areas and public parks and cleaning those public bathrooms, then definitely the handicapping job.

for me, it depends on the 9-6 job lol

kidding aside, i do agree with NFLTrends that depends a lot on the job, but I would assume most jobs that pay $100K have more upside earnings potential than a gambler grinding out $50K, so would lean that way...also have benefits, etc to consider

funny how some of us have to know what the 9-5 job is and some want to know more about the $50k


i'm on the $50k side.

1) how much time capping?
2) is this like $50k for me to give picks? how is the $50k a "lock"? am i sweating games 6 hours everyday after capping for 4 hours?

let's say i have a $1,000,000 bankroll and the goal every year to get to $1,050,000 by year end and take out the annual $50k earnings.....this sounds good until i hit a bad run and see my bankroll is down to $525,000

Out of the two you gotta take the salary. Financial stability, benefits, retirement planning. The ability to get a loan without having to using assets as collateral.

You only live once my man

Which is why you take the salary. $50,000 you are able to support yourself and save a little. $100k allows more freedom to explore other ventures. If you receive benefits that increases the value of the $100k.

In this scenario we are assuming you can not explore other ventures

100k...

not only because of the money, which is a major difference...
but the stress that comes with gambling....

I gotta be honest... I know I may sound like a jerk... but 50 grand just doesn't support a family anymore.... I mean... I guess u could make it work.. but holy shit that would be a tight fit...

So I guess the answer would have to be 100g 9 to 5...
U also have to figure while not in work.... you would be apt to spend more too. Making the 50g. Worth even less....

100k is a much better life, it'd be selfish in regards to your family to turn that down so you could gamble

$50k tax free isn't as far off from the 100k as we think (depending also on benefits)

If you take slightly less money but have much more time to spend with your family then I don't think that is unfair to your family

If it was $50k guaranteed and I can play halo and gamble all day, I would choose that.
