If you're good enough to double your bankroll a minimum of 3 times and keep it going after 2 years, then go for it if your bills are all squared away and you have enough in the bank to afford to keep yourself afloat for more than 4 months if the money from the track isn't coming in as regularly as you would like it to.
Give that some thought, and I want you to make it big.
Good luck to you Scav.

Thanks Mike for the advice, appreciate it greatly. I have put together this where my goal is to turn that 2k into 10k by the end of this year. I did a test run about two years ago when I was out of work and started with $500, and turned it into $2500 within one month. That being said, it was only one month, and I also had some stuff over my head (CC's and loans) that I don't have now. If I do this, I am going to have a clear head with plenty of money to back up if I do quit (about 12 months worth of living expenses) so if it bombs, it bombs, but at least I know I couldn't do it, and I can get the thought of my head, worth the 2k IMO
