Real life colleagues
Stable income and pension plans
Interesting work environment
No constant FOMO (fear of missing out). Friday afternoon is weekend!
Company parties
Career development plans
Employee benefits such as access to free gym subscriptions and cheap holiday rental apartments.
Important insight in case you "switch sides" again.

Of course it sort of puts a damper on your dream of becoming super rich and have unlimited freedom.

Another option is to do both, working on something extra off-hours.

For a successful value bettor there are no reasons to arb. For a successful stock trader there are no reasons to bet on sports. For a successful investor there are no reasons to trade. For the enlightened ascetic there are no reasons to own things and money has little importance.

The main reasons for people changing their path during life may be many, such as family influence, age, culture, environment, boredom ... just to mention a few.

Question is how much somebody earn arbing, if in 1 year you can earn 3-5 years or more worth of normal salary i don't see reason why to work normal 9-5 job, if you earn same or little more than there is no sense to arb.

More income, more attraction. It is a logic that seems indisputable - and most people in this forum probably think this way. I probably do too in this stage of my life.

But suppose you find yourself being bored doing what you do, or suppose you find yourself having developed a single-minded intolerable personality working alone always thinking in profits. I've known people who had freewillingly chosen to cut their income in half, taking a normal job, just because they wanted to try something new and fun.

I think you must know a lot of people.

Most of the posts of Vida Blue are brilliant. And this one is not an exception. I agree 100%. Some people have to look far away from their actual shoes. Maybe the same guys that now say that, will look for a 9-17 job in some years. Life changes, mentalities changes, friends changes, everything changes, life is allways moving....

I think there's a clue about this forum in the title, if vidablue is "having developed a single-minded intolerable personality working alone always thinking in profits" then he can always walk away and take that 9 to 5 job, he doesn't he keeps on making money from the bookmakers but at the same time posts on here why it could be a good idea to do something else and then ignores his own (fake) advice, the hypocrisy from vidablue is plain to see.

if you think writing something as fake as this charliesheen999 is "brilliant" then you have to read more.

no one currently making a nice living from bookmakers walks away for a 9 to 5 job and that definitely includes vidablue despite all the nonsense reasons he wrote of how it could be a good idea, of course making money from the bookmakers as a liveliehood has it's drawbacks, that's obvious but who are these people turning there backs on it? we put up with the shitty things as the money's good.

I will side with VidaBlue here. Justanarber seems you dint get the spirit of his words.
As a side comment, Fairpunter is still damaging the forum by dividing people and causing personal confrontations, even if he never planned it this way.

Hypocrisy means that you act in a different way than you think. VidaBlue said that right now he won't change this job for a normal job. But he doesn't close any door for the future, because he knows that his actual perspective can change in the future.
It's a mature way of think.

Do you have right now the same objectives in your life than 10 years ago? The answer probably is NO.
Why do you think that in 10 years your perspective will be the same as now?

we are in a greedy profession, we think more about money and profits than is normal, we can feel guilty or self pity about this,
we can be as self righteous (like vidablue) as we want but the next day we will try to make as much money as we can, whatever
way we can, yes all in legal ways but we try to be as deceptive as we can.

I can accept this and embrace it, I've done the 9 to 5 jobs pre arbing, I repeat there are no reasons to return to a 9 to 5 job
if you are succesful in your new career, pretending you'd go back to a 9 to 5 job as you're not as greedy as the rest of us doesn't wash.

I think it depends on the type of man you are. Working on this field has a lot of struggle, but is high reward. Some people prefer the things VidaBlue mentioned, some people like aloneness, some others are totally possessed by greed. 9-5 job its decent if its something you are passionate about and you are part of a great team were you can grow in experience while working. Usually you find this kind of working environment in startup companies.
About arber working for paysafe:
I would think only of one reason for an arber to be at paysafe. And its not about killing it own kin  ;)

I agree with you Wolfie but we have to be honest with ourselves and we are greedy and we think too much about money,
trying to pretend otherwise like vidablue is silly, everybody has the choice to take a "normal" job and quit this life, if you are still
here then you've decided that money is more important than the things vidablue speaks of.

vidablue could quit this lifestyle today and get a job, he does not because he likes the money in this job, i think he has to accept
how lucky he is to find such a way of making a good living instead of whining on about the things he's missing out on, vidablue
is greedy just like the rest of us but he's pretending he's different with his words but not with his actions.

every single person who makes a living from bookmakers I admire, these same bookmakers would take your house and last penny if they could, we have nothing to be ashamed of, yes we make sacrifices but we've decided they are worth making.

it seems to me by the way you talk that you make 10s of thousands per month, via arbing, easily.
Unless not then i would not say that money is a driving factor to be a professional bettors unless you live in a third world country. Where salaries already are quite low...There are plenty of jobs out there where one can earn 3-10k without even the need of having a "proper degree" and by that i mean lawyers, doctors etc.  Also no stress but that does not count as it seems you are already up in to the million here...

My point and question at the same time is if you seem to be easily milking 10s of Ks per month, without much stress(expect worrying about profits) then why still stress under this thread and arguing about philosophical convos? :)
