First of all,,,, I love the game,,,,I love the competion...and I make a few bucks... I'm old (67) and am at home all the time by myself. So I play everyday 8 to 10 hours a day everyday just about. usually clear $100 to $150 a month. Not much for time invested but it's fun (most of the time, LOL) and passes the time. . Started playing online in 2005.
