Curt, my "non-gambling" advice on your thoughts is to keep your living expense overhead low.

I lived off of Calder and Gulfstream and the dogs for about a year with a little barely above minimum wage 20 hour/week job on the side while I was taking a couple grad classes. I had a roommate and a "paid for" car and only split utilities and rent and food to pay for, and made a pretty nice life during that time.

I also took advantage of a junket out of Fort Lauderdale that flew to the Playboy Club casino in The Bahamas each afternoon for $20 round trip with a before sunrise return.

Of course I watched the race recaps on Miami TV each afternoon immediately following my viewing of "The Rockford Files" and "Hogan's Heroes."

And I had lots of time for my share of women. Since I barely worked, I found a couple of especially good ladies who loved to fish, and I would take them for cheap night trips to fish the Gulfstream for kingfish, or the reefs of Key Largo for red snapper and yellow tail. I always ate what I caught......

In retrospect, I guess I might have wasted that year, or so.

Not!
