I just talked to a few of my VP friends and they had a funny definition of "PRO" that merits mention.
A "VP PRO" is someone that's hit at least 20 Royals this year, but can't tell you exactly how many without counting their taxables.

South Point Double Royals?
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
- Raoul Duke (aka Dr. Hunter S. Thompson)
I hate being called a professional gambler. The moniker is just not descriptive of what I do. I'm not really a gambler at all. I would rather be called a...."Highly Skilled Risk Taker In Short Term Investments."
Gotta read that book again--Fear and Loathing--haven't read it in years. One of the funniest books I ever read.

Risk Arbitraguer, eh? I like it. From now on just call me a Risk Arbitraguer. Now I'm gonna have to remember how to spell it. Every time someone would ask me what I do and I said professional gambler, their eyebrow would go up.
"So, Mickey, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a Risk Arbitraguer."
"A what?"
"Risk Arbitraguer."
"What does a Risk Arbitraguer do?"
"Well, I wouldn't want to bore you with probability, statistics, and such, but mainly I seek and exploit value in short term investments."
"Oh, okay."
