I didn't know which forum this should go in.
But I was wondering, how would you list Gambling on a job resume asuming you were an avid mid-stakes player, casino whore, and sports bettor? |

I dont think that really adds any value to you, if they ask about a gap in employement you can talk about it then but I would prefer to discuss that in an interview than write it on a piece of paper

I'm just not exactly sure how to list it. I did it full time (don't know so much now with all the crazy [censored]) for quant positions this is actually a big plus for talking points this is a huge plus for start up agressive companies this is a huge plus I'm not worried about whether I should list it or not.... more worried about how I should word it. any suggestions? |

Just say you are an expert in applied mathematics.

you're wrong about it being a huge plus for quant positions. that said, it can pay off in certain risk-taking positions... you are likely better off bringing it up in the interview if you have a read that the interviewer will be a fan than to throw it on the resume.

I wouldn't try to disguise poker as applied mathematics on a resume, it will make it look like your trying to pull a fast one on them, IMO.
Now if they start talking about poker, you can bring up applied mathematics, etc... |

Shoe,
I was joking... somewhat. I'd try to phrase it as applied math since most people imagine gambling as shooting dice to hordes of screaming women. Atleast I do. |
