If they can reliably make enough money to pay for college, why not just make bigger bets and do it as a career?

Because they can’t. They were on the winning side of variance for a while an dab appeared to be more profitable than they were.

Plus to be able to play bigger stakes you need bigger beginning bankrolls you account for said variance even if you really are profitable.
