Is their a system to gambling? Nothing that should make you risk any more than you would without one; more than you can afford. My life has many demands and they only increase as we advance financially. One thing that is taking me away from poker pursuits is home repair. I have money to get it done but only if I do it myself. Then I have several business ventures I would like to invest in.
But I have found some poker venues that I like. I am/will still venture out here and there but not often unless I start winning. Yes, I have a system. Technically, from my experience with Tavern Tourneys, if I get into tournaments of over twenty-five people I win enough to be in the black over the course of a year. Nothing outstanding but it is a profit. So if I win a tournament half the winnings go into a pool of money for more tournaments. Then I will play on a regular basis as long as the pool holds up. Who knows what that may lead to, …because I am not without skills.
The other half of the winnings will go towards some expenses I would like to get out of the way. We are ahead of our mortgage and could get it paid off more than five years early (just over ten years to go) with a slight effort. (then there is the low interest home equity loan to work on) If I have a run I may have everything paid off in a few years and if my skills live up to my expectations, with a little luck…
In this age of underemployment it is difficult to keep busy when few are their to support you. But I have many irons in the fire. If my books do any substantial sales that too will make a big change. Poker is a luxury yet I still consider it one of those irons in the fire. We need a bit of luxury in our lives at times no matter what our circumstance but it is just that unless I can make it start paying off.
Merry Christmas!
