Risky career changes

[pr1042]

is he asking you to bring money to the table for this? or just start working for him

[tribaltalon]

No money involved. He doesn't want or need financial partners

[slow99]

Sounds like this dude is str8t ballin'. Just work in some kind of deal where you make out nicely when he monetizes the business.

This. Even if you have to take a lil paycut in salary to get him to agree.


Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Id highly consider it.

In 2009 a buddy offered me the chance to go to Manila and set up a small casino/sportzbook. i thoughy long and hard but declined after deciding it would be too hard on the fam being away that much. he is definitely making bank, or at least enough to hve his own citation jet now, but he is single and has no desire to come back stateside. you have to evaluate all angles.

I would do it. You can always go back to truck driving.

[Taylor]

Hmm life as a truck driver or possible baller. Not hard for me to choose.

[mikec]

I'd seriously consider going...

[Baba Ganoush]

He'd put everybody on this site to shame, and yes, everybody. Lol.

This statement is futile. A certain member on here owns the entire continent of Africa. We even have locomotive conductors. Yeah, I know, elite baller status.

So I've been obsessing over this offer that this old friend of mine has given me for a few weeks now. He wants me to start working for him on this new venture that he has going on, a new international gambling website. I've been helping him test the final beta version of it, and it's pretty bad ass. Its something that's never been done before, and I think it's going to catch on like wildfire. He's been invited to go to Costa Rica and Korea to unveil this thing, as well as Vegas in the form of a "LAN" party since online gambling in the US is illegal. I'm just scared shitless that it might take a while to really get rolling, and while he assures me that I'd be taken care of, its pretty worrisome leaving a solid truck driving career that brings in consistent money every week for a risk like this. My wife has been following the website and is all about me making the move. I'd basically be an ambassador for the website, and travel around the world doing RL tournaments for the top players/winners on the site, much like what Full Tilt and the other poker sites did. Once my friend feels comfortable with the site being 100%, I'll post up a link to the site so yall can try it out. Obviously wont be able to play for real money but its pretty addictive. He's offered me a job in the past and I turned it down due to liking my job at that point, and the guy who took it makes over 6 figures now.

Is his name Adan pronounced Adam? If not your bud isn't the only one working on this idea.

[Sean88gt]

Manifest destiny, pussy.

[tribaltalon]

No, and I doubt it on the idea. If so, your guy is fucked lol jk.
