Re: Do Pro Poker Players Make Good Clients For A Financial Advisor?
On the other hand, you could look at it as giving something back to the poker community.
If you're good at convincing players to go along with it, you'll be doing them a service.
I actually suspect that they are, as a group, less bad than perhaps they would have been 20 years ago.
Poker is not just for gambling degenerates anymore and the percentage of poker players who take bankroll management seriously has got to be higher now.
And what's the downside of giving it a shot? It's not like you're going to refuse non poker playing clients, just that you're trying to build yourself a niche clientele.
Go to some of the better, more responsible younger players and pitch it as a retirement rake. Put them on a plan of putting a certain percentage of their payoffs into a retirement fund just like those with real jobs do with their 401k.
