    It should be illegal for them to tax gambling. I’m betting my own hard earned money not them

    I believe that you report your winning gains. If you bet 500 and win a 700 slot jackpot = you report winnings gains of 200 on taxes. Must be in a session (a bit complicated) and must keep records

      But that's not what she's saying. If you have 7k in winnings and 8k in losses, you either have to pay the taxes on the 7k or give up the standard deduction so you can offset the losses

    It is 100% illogical to have to pay tax on your initial stake. That claim doesn’t even make sense in the most basic sense. You bet $1000 on a favored home team to win $250 how in the everloving f can you claim you’re taxed on 1250 (wager + profit). That tax would be more than your “winnings” in the first place! That’s not only illogical, its punitive and a bad faith argument to even make. That makes no sense. Winnings are ordinary income but winnings do not include your returned capital bc thats not your winnings. Whoever says gross winnings include initial stake doesn’t understand sports betting bc that makes 0 sense. Even when you bet on Fanduel, it says “to win ___” and then your total payout includes winnings and wager. Then u go under settings and “total winnings” includes wager. That’s disingenuous and nonsense on multiple levels

      this is flat out false, your gross winnings are taxed and you cannot claim losses unless you forego the standard deducation and do itemized deductions when you file taxes. This is why it literally it most likely not worth it, and in fact damaging, for the "regular" small dogs to do any sort of sports betting. The taxes make no sense and are completely silly@@Mundanesoup4

    Sports betting is rigged. Been doing it for six months. I'm even, but I've seen some shady stuff. I just do it for fun.
    In the NBA for example, a lot of bad passes are intentional. Yup!
