op, go to a roulette wheel. Bet $1,000 on black. If it's red, bet $2,000 on black the next time. If it's red again, bet $4,000 on black the next time. If it's somehow red again, bet $8,000 on black the next time.

Ain't no way it's going to be red more than three times in a row!! Keep doing that til you win all your money back!

Last NFL playoffs every one in my office was placing bets and when they got to me I was like "Oh no thank you." but they kept pushing and insisting I join in their betting pool til I had to tell them "I don't believe in gambling" they asked if it was for a religious reason and I was just like "No, I just don't like losing money" and after that every one treated my like a social pariah for not wanting to gamble and give up my money.

Here's the trick. Don't ever, EVER stop betting. Eventually, you get slightly out of the hole. Then, you just keep going. You'll dig yourself right back into that hole,. but you got up a little before, right? So you just continue on this trend until one day you just run the odds so hard that you are starting to break even then. But also keep going until you make a profit, maybe.

Also, serious advice, save all your gambling records for taxes if you have enough and they are legal and documented. You might have enough to itemize them and get a bit of help. And yes, this is for losses.

a few years back I made enough money at horse races in keeneland that I had to register, I don't remember the number but it was like 300 times ur bet or something. Anyway I hit like three different tris and supers and each one was more than the number. kinda sucked since I box all those bets but only the one that hits counts for getting taxed

anyway I collected a shitton of loss slips the entire year from there and Churchill and wrote them all off

I'm an accountant, so I'm being serious about all this. Sorry for the huge unfunny post!

Basically, say you play slots or something at a casino or whatever. The casino legitimately has to keep a record saying '[person] has these losses from our machines.' I think casinos now have personal cards or something you have to scan at some point? Kinda like some newer arcade games that keep your unlocks and scores on individual player cards you keep. Usually the Casino can just outright print you a ticket from that information, unless they already do it when you play. Probably both happen. I've never been to a casino, honestly, so I'm not 100% on the modern standard.

So anyway, the point is, now you have these tickets proving your loses, right? When you go see your accountant, or CPA, or guy your guy who we don't tell the IRS doesn't have a PTIN, you show them these, and they can then report your gambling losses to the IRS on your 1040 (this will probably change the type of 1040 you would normally have. Especially if you were single and doing EZs every year. This means nothing to 99% of people, so don't worry. It might just change the cost to prepare it for you, and might change or add some of the credits you get.)

So the way this all works is basically, similar to when you take a hit on a sale of a house a relative had that died and left it to you, but medicare took half, the IRS will try to give you some help, and it might lower what you owe, or it might help with what you get back. Obviously all of this is entirely dependent on a ton of things, and every individual has very, very different results because no one's taxes can ever be simple and uniform as far as how anyone's go. Even the same person from one year to the next.

Also, keep in mind I rarely work with a client that does any sort of gambling, and taxes being seasonal and me being kind of out of it at the moment, I may be forgetting a few minor details here and there, but his is about how it works in simplified terms.

idk what this guy is talking about because I didn't read but u can claim gambling losses up to your winnings and u only claim winnings if you have to because of that ratio thing

To be fair, they allow extensions and stuff. I've had clients who didn't do their taxes for 3 years straight and never got a single letter. In fact, if you don't owe, the IRS couldn't give poo poo less if you file or not, and you actually get a bit more if you file for a refund later in the year. Basically people that gently caress up, gently caress up pretty bad when the IRS actually has to come after them beyond a simple audit.

Pretty sure it is anything that pays out at greater than 600 to 1, the game itself doesn't matter, but that will get the IRS interested. If you had actually made each bet 10 times, you would have shrunk the trifecta and super pool enough that it might have paid less than 600 to 1 and in theory would not have had to give your SS#, although you would have won at least ten or so grand so they might take it anyway, in which case you would have to find a broke rear end degen who will sign for a 10 or 15 percent cut, not that I would know anything about that.
