I'm just giving a "for instance" and demonstrate that one small operation can net that. Live in a $250k row home and have a union job where you work 6 months and volunteer for layoffs and collect unemployment through the winter and you're doing pretty good. Very common around here to have a job and a hustle.

As for wire taps and $500 bets, get 3-4 guys into you for only $500 and it starts to add up. Ask any hardworking guy or girl on here if they wouldn't want an extra $1-2000 a month tax free? Must be some well of people on this board.
