So far around $60. Today I hope to make it 80! I don't gamble I just play in tournaments.
How Much Money Have You Made Playing Pool?
- Thread starter Fast Lenny
- Start date
I think the poll should be how much are you up or down. I have won quite a bit but I have also lost some as well. I chose 5-10k because after entries and losses I would say I am probably in that area.
I am probably being conservative as I have had a few scores in the few hundred to up to over a K but I have dogged a few off as well.

Do you play Tournaments with prize funds?
Hey Fred,gambling and tournaments on your own skill at the table,not talking about staking someone or betting on a pool match between 2 other players.Cornerman said:

Ive invested way to much into it (table,sticks.etc) for it to even be close.
But now all the big expenses are done maybe i can recoup some of the costs now.
Well get on it man and win some cheese!TXsouthpaw said:
Like people on an internet forum are going to give you accurate data regarding gambling, might as well ask everyone to post the size of their schlong, or what the biggest fish you ever caught was.
That's what
I was going to say, Neil, it is your 'net profit' not how much you have made.
You have to consider expenses, entry fees, food, drink, quarters.
Long time ago, but getting a $10 or $20 game in a bar didn't used to be hard, or matching up for $100-$300 a set.
I had a period about 6-8 years ago where I was making $500-$3,000 a month matching up for about 2 years. Now, I have to give up the nuts for a $50 set. Gambling is far and few between anymore, at least locally it is. People just don't have the extra cash anymore like they used to.

Air barrel champion
I spent some time out on the road in the mid 80's. Made some nice scores.
Mostly played in the bars but I'll bet I've been air barrelled more tines than most.
Mostly small stuff, $10 or $20 at a time, with the high being $250.
Got so bad, I started writing it down and carrying this list in my wallet.
Added it up one day and the total came out to a little over $4300.
Funny thing was when I'd get stiffed by someone and run into them six months or a year later, they'd want to play.
I'd pull out my list and say " Yeah, we can play as soon as you pay me the $50 you air barrelled me last July."
And, of course, y'all know the answer to that. They couldn't remember or denied it.
What can you say for selective amnesia! LOL
