I cant really offer anything totally original to this thread but I would like to reiterate the thoughts of many.

Its probably the worst thing you will ever do for numerous reasons.
I quit university because I hated it and I currently make a living gambling on the internet and it bores me to death. Yes, the money is good but seriously what are your expectations? Unless you are a superstar it becomes a definate grind and you WILL become withdrawn/put on weight/ have mood swings etc because of it. Theres also a serious issue of self worth to consider as well because take it from me, sitting playing poker all day, every day does nothing for your self-esteem.

Also, as others have mentioned have a look at the legislation of online gambling because its uncertain at the minute.

Im very fortunate to have other irons in the fire for the future and, in all honesty, I still live like a student anyway, so its not so bad, but if I planned on doing this forever I would go crazy.

Take a long look at yourself, your ambitions and where you see yourself in the next 5/10/20/40 years before you take this seriously.

Good luck.
