Thank you for both your replies. Sorry since I'm new I guess I should give some kind of intro and state what I'm looking for exactly.
I live in Toronto but I travel a lot for work, I play poker professionally and also bet on sports professionally. And the main reason I wanted to start this hobby is because unfortunately because of my work (I go to school as well) I don't get the chance to really go out much and this hobby is more to relax and believe it or not meet people and be able to have a conversation other than just gambling since all my friends are also professional poker players.
My only problem is that I can not use a credit card other than pre-paid credit cards when booking hotel rooms. I think I'm going to go to my bank and see if I could somehow get a pre-paid credit card where I can have around 10K on it.
Also, another thing I'm only 21 and since I've never done this before do you think I'm going to run into any problems booking appointments with an agency? And should I tell them my age before I book an appointment to see if the agency as well as the SP is okay with it?
Thanks again for all your help.
p.s. I also do know a lot about investing, I'm not a total degenerate gambler, so if anyone on here would like some advice do not hesitate to ask.
