It can be done, depending on your location. That doesn't mean you will do it. Many people try, and most give up. When I lived in NY, I'd visit Vegas four weeks a year and play BJ 6-8 hours every day. When I moved there, I got bored with it.
It takes tremendous discipline, and there are other opportunities you should seek out.
For what it's worth- my postings on sites like this lead to being recruited for two teams, both of which opened new doors.

Maybe you are assuming too high of a standard of living. If one couch surfs they could probably live on $10 of untaxed income per day. Water, beans, and rice.
Now if only I could move so much skincare product it could get the wrinkles out of an elephant at anything remotely near parity...

I think your $10/day figure is low.
Beans and rice are going up in price, and you probably need another $2/day to keep the prepaid phone going.
$20/day may be reasonable for such subsistence, but plan on doubling that (at least!) if you are trying to build a bankroll by saving winnings in excess of the subsistence cost.
If you've run out of couches to surf, things get exponentially more expensive.

One of the guys I feed collects 400 cans a day. He has two Jack in the box tacos for breakfast and a Mcdonald's $5 meal for dinner. He won't panhandle and it takes half the day to get the cans. He is just happy not to be living in Guatemala City. Sometimes, he takes a bag of food, but usually, he'll take a banana and whatever fruit I might have. I've given him some hats and socks, but he didn't want any blankets, so I suppose he has a place to sleep.

I am assuming people who say this have been fortunate enough never to have been poor.
in actuality you need a bunch of things to survive on a daily basis other than food. At some point you are going to have to buy shoes or pay for some medicine or one of a hundred other things. Subsistence income is a lot more than people think for the simple reason it includes a whole bunch of one-off expenses.

Sure, if you want to live the high life. At Walmart you can get a 48 pack of Ramen for $15 and a 20lb bag of rice for $11, That should be enought to feed yourself for a month for $26. That would leave plenty of money from your $10 a day to buy used clothing and other frivolous stuff.

If you have a phone you are living way above what I consider subsisting. Rice $11 for 20lb and Ramen 48 packs for $15. that would feed anyone for a month.

You very quickly go nutrient deficient on that diet. A 25 cent multivitamin a day will help significantly.
It is simply not possible to live in modern society without some kind of smartphone. You'll need it to arrange transport, finance, and likely redeem freeplay offers to make your few dollars a day.
This brings up the usual opportunity to link: https://paulgraham.com/ramenprofitable.html , and the rice & beans recipe at the bottom. You do have to have infrastructure to be able to pull this off; a rice cooker, a way to power it, clean potable water, and preferably a way to clean the equipment and utensils after the fact. That infrastructure is not free, even if you are mooching off someone else's.

Absolutely you will be nutrient deficient eating like that but you can survive. My assumption is that most people that would allow you to couch surf would allow you to use some tap water, a stove and a pan. Again thinking you need a rice cooker makes you entitled in my opinion. I have always made rice in a pot on the stove.

And then you get married, and decide to buy ten thousand dollar Chanel coats and million dollar colored diamonds. Life gets more complicated.

That doesn't sound like an advantage play to me.
Actually you and Dieter are about the only two at this forum who ever mention family. SooPoo too occasionally. Doesn't mean the rest of us don't have any children, but at least I don't choose to discuss that here.

I USED to make GOOD money by asking random Player's to play on my Player's Club card until one day I accidentally asked the SAME person TWICE to play on my Player's Club card and got a 24 hour ban and perp walked out of the Casino. Nowadays, I make decent money by playing high return games with VERY low money. I recently played a .12 cent bet and won about $200 on Stinkin Rich. So playing low bets and getting high returns is a good way to make decent money at Casinos. 😀

Are you planning on carrying the twenty-pound bag of rice with you? One of the biggest problems the homeless have is thefts by other homeless.Unless you are the baddest gut on the block, you'll have to share the rice and ramen.

So as a $10/day earner, how long do I go without food until I have enough to to spend $26 on my monthly allotment of food (assuming I don’t need to wait for a ride to the nearest Walmart for such an excellent deal)?
Quote: MichaelBluejayI wrote an article about advantage play at slots, but my conclusion is that most people couldn't make a living at it.
to paraphrase one of the most influential tips I've hear: the best way to make $100,000 at the casino is to find a way to make $10,000 10 different ways (and if that fails, find a way to make $5,000 20 different ways). Slot play might not pay a living wage, but there are also table games and sports and poker and comps and promotions. . . And even those can be categorized into different bets or overlapping bets, like instead of "slots", it can be 99.7% VP at one casino and betting must-hit-by progressives at another.
It's like saying a 7-11 can't survive selling just Big Gulps and a florist can't make an annual salary on Valentine's Day. Like slots, it's a part of total revenue.

Multiple revenue streams certainly make life easier.
My friend Al opened a tire shop. He noticed his employees buying multiple sodas at the deli down the block. He put in a soda machine, charged a quarter less than the deli and it turned into a nice profit center. I've heard him claim the machine paid for his house, but he's never shared the details.
Some of my income streams are under a hundred dollars a month, but they are permanent and, over time, add up to tens of thousands.
Years ago, I met a guy in the Gold Coast parking lot. He picked up free booklets from somewhere that had about $60 worth of coupons and sold them for $5 or 3 for $10. I don't know if it was his only source of income, but I'd think he made a few hundred a month.
Vegas is a great place for someone willing to hustle and with the ability to seek out opportunity.
