"I fear the chance that my descent into the strange world of online poker, profitable though it's been so far, will be seen by the world at large as …"
Or: "I fear the possibility that my descent, profitable though it's been so far, into …"
This is a quote from a reliable poster here on a similar earlier question:
eg There is a real chance my foray into the financial sector, sordid though it may be, will be viewed by employers as some sort of advantage.
A casual reader might take this to mean that it is the financial sector, not the foray, that is sordid. If this is a concern, you could say eg There is a real chance my foray, sordid though it may be, into the financial sector will be viewed by employers as some sort of advantage.
But I don't think that necessarily applies here given the change of the sentence. What do you think? I wouldn't want there to be any ambiguity. Thank you.
