Sentence Structure

"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.
