You can't suddenly decide to be a professional classical pianist out of the blue because you happened to lose your job yesterday. It's the same type of thing. It's a skill and a discipline.

Playing horses to feed your family adds another level of pressure to the handicapping equation. I would expect that would impact style of play and could turn a winning player into a losing player.

What's more, even the winningest winning players have what, a 10% ROI. So you are way under-capitalized.
