Belfast Woman Earns £4,500 Per Week Playing Online
A 25-year-old Belfast maths graduate, Lee-Anne Smythe, turned down a £40,000 a year banking job because she found she could earn more playing poker online, The Sun Newspaper reported this week. Playing at the Ladbrokes poker site she earns an average weekly income and is on target to have earned £243,000 by the end of the year.
Smyth told The Sun she believes her mathematical prowess and the “hours spent solving algebraic equations in my head” have sharpened her poker brain. “Who needs a proper job when I can make what most people earn in a month in a couple of hours?” she added.
Smythe plays No Limit Hold’em for five hours each day at the Ladbrokes site, which has already won her enough money to buy her own house and a £15,000 sports car. The most she has won in a single sitting is £7,600.
