Hmmm... I tried my hand at day trading for about a year. While I made insane money at times, the downswings were nauseating. I let go of to after a really nasty downturn that just wouldn't quit.
I couldn't see myself gambling professionally. The added weight of earning a living seems too much for my appetite. But there are folks with the skill and steel to do it. I wish you luck with your decision!
Yes, there are many ways to make a living that are much easier than gambling.
I'm leaning towards scaling down my gambling and playing purely for fun. In that scenario, placing single bets makes no sense. Currently, I'm not enjoying it anymore. A few days ago I've placed a few accas and I rediscovered the fun in gambling. I'll go that way.
The decision has been made :-)
