As an NYC chess hustler, I've made about $12000. This is one of the best tricks I know.

I profit about $82 average a day and I've been hustling for 7 years now.

$82 a day is less than you'd earn in ma Donald's

LOL that's actually not bad. If you got that position in the first place, since I don't know who'd play ...Nd7.

not that bad to just lose the queen. 82 dollars a day in chess. yeah right. maybe 5 or ten. BS. find a patter that bets 82 in one game and he's a f idiot.

I play about 15 games a day though. Small amounts really add up.

I guess that's why they say you don't have to be a great player to hustle chess!  Most of your opponents would probably earn a 400 rating or less here.

Once, when I had about a 1300 OTB rating, I was at the Maryland State Fair, passed the Maryland Chess Assn. "Challenge the Master" booth and saw a NM I knew -and who I owed a favor for his talk to the high school club I coached- playing where the challengers put up $1 and won $5 if they beat the master in a simultaneous game.  The NM called me over and asked me to take over for him for 30 minutes while he used the restroom and got something to eat.  I reminded him I only had a 1300 rating. He said, "Don't worry, I haven't seen anything close to that all day."

Sure enough, playing an avg. of about 5 games simultaneously at any time, I won every game over the next half hour!  Of course, you may tend to meet better players in a park known for chess than the random opponents you'd find on a fairground!

$82 per evening's work is a good deal.  Even if it was 1/3 that much, it all adds up.  If you read books like Stanley and Danko's The Millionaire Next Door you learn that the people with middle class jobs that somehow end up with lots of assets then to be those who used a 2% cash-back card instead a 1% to save $0.50 on groceries, who will delay gratification and wait for a $100 or more sale on a TV, computer, etc. In other words: those who know every little bit adds up when you constantly seek to save every little bit.  That's how I retired comfortably at 56.

You need at least initial money for this.

Do you know if its possible from Sweden? The closest thing I've found is game shows from Evolution but its not really the same.
