Yes i was on football for a very long time, switched to tennis and enjoy it, i find it easier.
I should have study seriously when i was in university but i didn't, so found myself with little jobs, that's why i involved myself totally in sports betting when i saw i was starting to have the skills and the knowledge to win some money (after many years losing). But it's always better to have a real good job if you can find one and bet just for pleasure and additional income, good luck to you.

I shall stop smoking, which means I will have to stop drinking.

I don't like to call myself a pro, frimpong, because i think it's a bit ridiculous when we speak about gambling. I always loved sports, watched it a lot and after years of losing money betting on it i learned gradually how to win. When i saw i could make more money in betting than with my low-payed jobs i started to do it full time. But betting is everything but a job. Markets are changing, players too, places where you can bet too (ex. : PC charge, new laws in some countries), so you can lose your edge any moment and have to find new ones. Betting is something i do now because i enjoy sports and it works quite good but maybe it will end one day so i will be back to a day job.
