How did you pay the bills? The source of this income answers your question.

I realize this, but people need money to pay the bills. Most like to live in a house, where clothes, have somewhere to shower every day, etc. This stuff costs money. To live most people need money. Where does this money come from? If it comes from tennis or poker, then that is your profession. Someone who loses can simply not pay the bills with that "income". In fact just because you win doesn't mean you're a pro. Someone who wins $1k/year probably can't pay the bills with that, so I'd say they aren't a pro.

Yes and how do they pay for new clothes, to clean the clothes, somewhere to shower, etc.? This costs money, if you quit school, play poker full time, and lose, it's kind of hard to pay for any of that. Life costs money, a "job" that loses money or only makes a tiny bit goes nowhere fast.

But in terms of money, I'd be able to support myself if they paid me. Instead I've got parents, scholarship, savings/job all helping to pay for school. If I used baseball to pay for school (which provides the necessities of life, food, shelter, showers, etc.) then I'd be a pro.
