There is some stigma with sports betting but I didn't do it for $6k/year.

The stigma stems for the most part from the fact that someone would need to play this credit card shell game to make $6k/year. The return is central to why there is a stigma.

About 2-3 years ago I was going to get involved with a club. Luckily before anything was done one of the other partners mentioned doing something like this (not quite but similar in that it was a lot of shell game work for a few dollars). I walked away from the club. I'm not going to get involved with someone who is obviously that much in need of funds. So his $2-3k end up costing him the club he wanted. I'm not willing to have other people judging me and questioning me over $6k. I care too much about my reputation.

I'm going to stop posting because I think it is impossible to see each other's point. I think it stems from different perspectives on the utility value of $6k.
