I know People who have attempted to earn a living gambling and especially playing poker. The best among them has basically broke even after 3 years
I’m not saying it can’t happen, it it is EXTREMELY difficult. The idea that Paddock supported himself this way for years, and indeed, the casinos let him do this, simply beggars belief. It’s a stupid media narrative that is going unchallenged
Paddock apparently had vast amounts of cash and no discernible job since the 1980’s. According to a Las Vegas newspaper, he bought the home in Mesquite for $369,000 in CASH. I’m not aware that he had a mortgage on any of his several properties, or any debt for that matter.
Who knew that video poker could net you untold millions of dollars? Wow.
