Should I quit my job and gamble full time?

Making 100k all in comp first year out of school. Thing is I’ve made about 120k since this past year betting on online sports. I feel as if I spent more time I could make a decent amount. At what point do I try this full time?

1 year isn’t long enough imo, I know several people who gave up careers to play poker or bet sports and only one has been successful (6 figure income, made more money than alternative career). With that being said, it can be extremely stressful, especially when you are working 60-80 hours a week, have long downswings and in the red for the year.
 

With that being said, props on your success and I wish you the best. Check out Brandon Adams or Bob Voulgaris for some inspiring sports betting success stories.
