How does earning almost $40,000 in just three or four months sound? It’s possible, and a 57-year-old retiree from Canada has proven it. Maureen McCarthy is a member of PokerShares, the site where users can “buy” players and take a piece of their winnings, and has become extremely prolific at investing in players.

Players often try to reduce their stake in games, most often poker, by selling action to both opponents and fans looking for an investment. This idea gave way to the creation of PokerShares by a player who certainly knows the game. Mike McDonald, a Canadian poker player who has accumulated over $13 million in live action, created the site as a way for fans to get closer to their favorite players.

McCarthy was first introduced to daily fantasy sports (DFS) after catching Jason Sommerville’s Twitch channel. Since she was already a fan of poker, which came about from Chris Moneymaker’s 2003 WSOP win, she took Sommerville’s advice and applied to her favorite game. She even participated in poker tournaments, making it to the money at the 2013 WSOP Seniors Tournament.

Going by the name of ‘MoMac630’ online, she is now somewhat of a celebrity in her own right in the Ontario poker community.
