I know its a vague question. I totally forgot his name though. Basically, he was a pretty typical poor student or recently graduated….he put all his savings (like $10-15,000 or something like that) on the Lakers to win it all in 2000. Since then he’s been a successful sports better but now is a poker pro.

    Odd since you’d normally expect the opposite. There’s a lot more money in sports betting, potentially anyway, then at poker. I did this the opposite way actually and started out as a poker player and moved to sports betting. Nothing like working for a half hour a day and then having the rest of the day to fool around like what I’m doing on here :)
