What is generally considered to be a high enough yield before even considering going professional?

anything above 5%? 10%?

what sort of yields do any pros on here have?

My net yield from 1/1/2009 to 13/12/2009 was 1.32%

If you trade rather than being involved purely with gambling, the yield (taken in isolation) will not be able to give you a good indication of how successful someone is.

For instance one person with a yield of 1% could be placing 100 times as many bets as another person with a yield of 5%.

I guess per year with at least 30 bets per month

Even 360 bets isn't a particularly massive sample to draw conclusions from. Law of large numbers and all that.

fisheye,

I wouldn't get too hung up on it which i am sure you are not. If you feel its right carry on and dont give up the job for a while.

It all depends on you responsibilities really... whether you have family etc. Whether you have a profession or trade that you can walk straight back into etc. Sure you know this but ...
