In theory you could make $100 a day with gambling, you just have to see it from another perspective.
You can buy a small gambling machine, put it at a bar, and see how people start gambling.
You will probably make more than $100 a day with a setup like that.
You will be making money in gambling, just that you will be on the winning side of the bets.
yep, that makes a lot of sense, in other words, becoming a bookie with a capital of $2k. like for example buying a slot machine and placing it in a shopping center or anywhere frequented by people, of course it will generate more than the OP wants but the question is whether he can afford to do that because of course it will be subject to high taxes too.
unless the OP maybe owns his own betting website and builds his own casino and manages to earn over $100 that way better than having to resort to betting on sports because even if betting on the underdog there is still a 1% chance of losing.
