Earnings and Benefits

Earnings for models vary greatly, and since many work through agencies as free-lancers, exact salaries are hard to determine. Income also varies with the type of modeling and the model's degree of experience. Artists' models make a standard fee of $10 to $12 per hour modeling for beauty and fashion shots in art school photography classes, and $12 to $15 per hour for high-fashion and nude modeling in painting and drawing classes. Professional photographic models may earn between $150 and $250 per day

Models who work through agencies must pay their agency a percentage of their fees. Steadily employed fashion models usually earn from $30,000 to $60,000 per year. Fitting models are paid by the hour. Rates in Manhattan's garment district range from $50 to $100 per hour. A top fitting model might make as much as $250 to $450 per hour in a major designer's house.

Television models must belong to the Screen Actors Guild or the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The unions set the rates that models will be paid. Models in a television commercial can earn $2,000 to $3,000 for an eight-hour photo session. Also, television models may get additional pay, called residuals, when their commercials are used again.

Posted this shortly after entering a sell on EUR/GBP....im still in the trade and im up over 2k...had somebody tailed me in a MINI ACCOUNT THEY WOULD BE UP alittle over $200...

There are several guys who post on a daily basis...in fact i posted i trade i liked this am for a sell of CHF...i didnt trade cause i was in EUR already but if i had jumped in id be out with over $400 in just a few hours...$40 in a min or more depending on the # of lots

Worth taking a look at fellas,a mini account can be opened for as little as $350...and if youve traded stocks b4 the charts are the same using all the same indicators..Ive been trying to get Claycourt to come over for a year but no luck yet...i did finally get Wallstreet to join the group and hes been doing pretty well...

I consistently lose.  Might be 1000 this month, 12k next month. Sure ill have a winning week, weekend, or even winning 2 weeks, but I will get drunk and give it all back and then some before I know it.  That is why there are halftime bets, hawaii football games that start at 1am EST, online bj that you can play when you get home at 5am after a bender.  I always get up a certain amount, say I wont go below it and then bam, I lost 40 out of 50 100 dollar hands and my money is gone and my credit cards are maxed.  I shuffle money around, and pay it off then start again.  Just like any other addiction.  This one is just really expensive.  Then I might even quit during February but have to get back in when college hoops heats up. Just as cyclical as time my friends... I might get banned for saying this in a forum even though everyone knows what I am talking about on one level or another.

There I told the truth.  That has to be a record for the first truth told here.

Hey most of us already know that majority of gamblers are losers in the long run but there are a very tiny percentage that continually win in the long run. I can honestly say I win in the long run.

There I told the truth. That has to be a record for the 2nd truth told here.

If you need a wakeup call, I recommend doing what I did recently...   I asked my books and casino hosts for a report for all of my plays since I started.  The casinos are pretty close, but the online books are obviously dead on.   Is pretty amazing how much action someone can lay over a period of time.  

My favorite is my report from OM for 2007.  Over the year there were nearly 100k in deposits and after all the payouts were counted(including bonuses), I was up 132 dollars.  Lets just say that was my best year.

Lots of info in a post above this...read it and understand it. Treat gambling like a business, make rules and stick with them.
Whether you believe this or not your book makes his living during football season yet everybody lines up every year to try and beat him. Don't bet football, play a survivor pool instead.....you'll save money believe me.
My friend Lisa loves Texas hold'em tournaments. She'll go all in 9 times and win. She'll go all in the 10th time and lose, lose everything. 90% winner but none-the-less a loser. And ultimately a whiner/complainer she caught a bad beat. The more games you play in a night the more likely you'll get a bad beat. And there goes your cash.
This season I bet between 500 - 2500 per game. 95% of the time I made one bet per day.

You will never end up owing $$$ in FOREX...your account will just get cleaned out....
 
I gotta say its just as addictive as gambling if you ask me...but the thing about forex is if you get good at the technical aspect of it you never have to depend on OTHERS to come through for you...YEN has never missed a FG or blocked a kick...
 
Crazy to me that people can bet thousands and at best win 60% of the time....i have sold out of one trade for a loss in the last few months....

Green its Tom in Tropic Thunder....
 
Forex rules man...i think its pretty easy with the way you can avg and all...i go for quick trades off of crosses of the DMI lines...usually 20-30 pips which is $400-$600...$40-$60 in a mini account...the two trades i posted yesterday were both worth close to 100 pips in fact im still in EUR...holding out for more here cause the daily chart looks like it might break down $$$$$$
 
Come check out the threads in the investment forum...you can open a practice account at many different sites and trade live in real time under real market conditions and its free...it may be something that can change your life...im telln ya the action is just as good as having alot on a game
Im 32 and soon will be retired..not claiming to make millions but i have made an avg of 2k-3k a week for a long time now and if i can be at my computer at the right times during the day i could prob double that spending 15-20 hours looking at my computer per week....
 
Everybody is welcome to check it out ask any questions you have we'll try and help

I make about $70k/yr pre-tax at my real job. This is just a hobby.
 
I used to play online poker but quit to spend more time with my girlfriend. I've switched to sports betting because I can research it before she comes home.
 
Since July 4th I've made approximately $20,000 and have cashed out 80% of it at this point.
 
Last night I hit a $2,000 Parlay on the M's and Yankees for $3100 profit so now I'm using this $5100 for MLB/NFL and will continue to make cashouts here and there if I continue to do well.
