Has anyone thought of betting sports professionally or as an investment option?

I have been doing this for years and I am curious how many other people out there do the same.

I am doing this since many years and every year I win nice money, but not enough for quit working. Its almost impossible

So did betting against subprime mortgages with CDOs turn out to be a good investment after all?

All that AIG bailout money is getting paid to SOMEBODY, isn't it?

It was definitely a good investment for inside traders. That is about all though.

I will never believe AIG saw "losses" (of that amount)in the last quarter. I believe that they are "righting" their books after cooking them for so long. If you have the time to look into AIG you will find a trail of corruption so blatantly obvious that it is quite disturbing our government is "bailing" them out. All the big corporations.....AIG, CITI, GOLDMAN SACHS, LEHMAN BROS, FANNIE, FREDDIE, ETC........all are corrupt and if our government did not have a hand in this corruption we would certainly not be bailing them out.
