ug45cwb Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I am a professional online poker player and having real trouble finding sensible insurance quotes. Only one so far who have quoted me are admiral at £2394 with 2 years NCB. Is it wrong to just say i'm unemployed? Can anyone suggest an insurer? Cheers Quote
Darren-B Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Do you have another occupation other than being un-employed or a professional poker player? Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 You can give the guys here a few lessons on how to play poker and then, technically, you'd be a teacher! Quote
jimbadman Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Thats quite cheap isnt it with only 2 years NCB? Quote
Jay Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Put down computer technician or psychologist Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Thats quite cheap isnt it with only 2 years NCB? Ermmm No! mine is £1300 with 2 yrs NCB and i'm being ripped off! i can get it down to £750 with Bell. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Thats quite cheap isnt it with only 2 years NCB? Lol!! I paid £750 my first year with no NCB... All my previous cars were company and they wouldnt take them into consideration! Quote
jimbadman Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Wow i paid £1300 for my first year i was only 20 though i guess. Quote
SwanageDave Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 mine is £350 with elephant but i am 53 yrs old. and still have a heavy right foot Quote
Chris`I Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Thats quite cheap isnt it with only 2 years NCB? Lol!! I paid £750 my first year with no NCB... All my previous cars were company and they wouldnt take them into consideration! Mine was about that too. I'd never pay over £1k for insurance unless I had a supercar Quote
Darren-B Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 You can give the guys here a few lessons on how to play poker and then, technically, you'd be a teacher! problem solved Quote
Beavis Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I am a professional online poker player Dont like playing online that much but mainly play live. What poker sites do you play? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 what about getting a proper job and no he wouldn't be a teacher he'd be an instuctor i studied for 6 years to have the privilege of being called a teacher and teachers don't get better insurance, as a profession; motor insurance is higher, with all the kids, school car parks are high risk. if you deal in money you might as well put banker Quote

Cheers Say an I.T tech Chris as you will keep getting high quotes otherwise. I would try: Tesco, Adrian Flux and Direct Line Quote
Sarnie Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Why would an Online Poker pLayer be a risky occupation for car insurance? Unless you have a chequered driving history (bans/points etc) and live in the Gaza Strip........... Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Why would an Online Poker pLayer be a risky occupation for car insurance? I would imagine that its pretty risky if you're playing online poker whilst driving! Quote
Beavis Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Why would an Online Poker pLayer be a risky occupation for car insurance? Good point but when i have played a live game and gone out because of a bad beat, i am very angry when i drive home Quote
ug45cwb Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Think people don't really understand it. Its not risky at all. Ive played over 1.1 million hands since going pro. Taken as bad beats as its possible to take and put awful beats on others. It all evens itself out pretty fast. Heres a graph of my results since going pro: Bit worried if I lie about my occupation and I try and claim they will get a bit bent outa shape with me. Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Well if that doesn't prove that you're a teacher!! I feel educated now! Quote
aquagazgt4 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 teach me, i play offshore with rednecks when drunk whats the formula. i was 50 toothpicks up last trip. Quote
marzman Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Its not just the occupation setting that value mate. Its the postcode lottery and your age mostly. I paid more than your quote when i was under 25. Quote
ug45cwb Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Cheers Lee, £1200 with Adrian Flux (£3k excess tho) Quote
sunset350z Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Try Swiftcover.com they were the cheapest by a mile for me, and sorted out my claim in double quick time. Quote
