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. |

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 ... |
