So, you’ve won a few rounds of online games or taken the boys (or girls) to the cleaners at your regular home game. You may have even hit the green baize tables of Vegas or Atlantic City and felt the adrenaline surge of taking on the house and walking away a winner. Do you now think you have what it takes to make a living as a professional player?

Maybe you’re right, but the odds of success are not in your favor without the correct guidance. Trying to go pro on your own means that, more than likely, you’ll be doomed to repeat the mistakes of those who came before you and lose a fortune before you make one.

Enter Christopher Mitchell, widely considered the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) by peers and fans alike. He’s the world’s top-rated professional player, a consultant, and the ultimate mentor for turning your dreams into reality.

Whether betting on the flip of a card, a roll of the dice, or the outcome of a horse race, Mitchell can help you avoid the pitfalls of transitioning from amateur to professional through private one-on-one lessons, ELITE Coaching Club membership, and his exclusive Mastermind events.

Upping the Ante

Mitchell is the host of a thriving Youtube channel and the co-author of 3% Millionaire Blueprint, which he wrote with his wife, Stacy. His reputation as a high-roller who pulls in a hundred grand a month is confirmed and legendary.

But his ascent to the top was not easy.

As a child, Mitchell was drawn to puzzles and games. As he grew, the future GOAT’s tastes evolved. He became obsessed with games of chance and the thrill of winning a bet.

However, his early career as a pro was fraught with naivete and financial loss. So much so that Mitchell lost nearly $500,000 playing in the casinos before realizing that he needed to take a more educated approach and learn the methods that would turn him into a millionaire.

A couple of years down the line, Mitchell discovered the formula that would provide a regular and reliable income and mark him as a force in the world of pro-gaming.

“If you want to learn how to bake a cake, you find a recipe that works and make sure you follow it every step of the way. Boom! You have the results you wanted. It’s the same with gaming,” he shared.

Mitchell became so adept at his craft that he knew he could add to his earnings by passing on his methods to newbies and letting them learn from his mistakes and triumphs.

To give you more insight into how to game successfully, here are some of Mitchell’s top tips to make you a success.

Budget Betting

 If you are a low-stakes gamer playing on a budget, you should practice your game online instead of immediately heading to a real-life casino. Minimum bets online are much smaller than in a physical casino.

However, never forget this is serious business, and you must remove anything that will distract you. So, no TV, no music, and no interruptions. You’re working, so behave like a professional.

Choose Your Game Carefully

Professional gaming is not a fun night out or a nonstop party; it’s a business. Play to your strengths and pick a game with the best chances of winning.

For example, if you are a casino player, stick to Baccarat, Roulette, or Blackjack, as they have the best odds for players. Essentially, they aren’t much different from a coin toss — heads you win, and tails you lose. Stick to simple modes of play. For example, if you are playing Baccarat, only bet on the banker or player for the best chance of winning.

Don’t Play Against Loved Ones

It’s natural to want to practice and build your skills by playing with your friends and family. Playing against people you know you can beat can also be a confidence booster. But playing with loved ones is a bad idea. You need to focus on the task at hand and not be distracted by your relationship with opponents, or you will risk losing money. This is work, not a social occasion.

Get Some Expert Advice

You wouldn’t try to start any other career without a fair amount of training, education, and guidance. Since you’ve learned that pro-gaming is a career, you know that this also applies to your gaming skills. Find someone who has earned a living at games and experienced the highs and lows of the job. They will be invaluable to scaling your business as you learn the ropes.

Build a Bankroll

This is one of the most important pieces of advice I can give. Build a large bankroll. Too many gamers start out underfunded and cannot ride out the bad beats, and the pressure builds and builds. And instead of playing with a cool head, emotions take over, and bad decisions are made. That’s how you go bankrupt.

Instead of taking $500 into a game in the hope of making $5000, flip the script. Take $5000 and try to make $500. If you hit your goal, stand up, keep your eyes down, and head out the door. You will go home a winner.

Using these tips from the GOAT himself, you’re sure to be able to consider going pro with a much better understanding of the playing field.
