More liberal attention-seeking & Trump-hating nonsense. And if you don't like it and cant afford whats claimed, don't gamble.
Really very simple stuff.
What are you talking about you old fool? You wrote a whole book on demonstrating how stupid you were yet too stupid to realize this.Quote:

Really very simple stuff.
Now for the pro gamblers out there - I'd love to hear some thoughts.
Table game winnings aren't reported anyway. Up to you what you report, or do not report.
I am not assuming that Phil read the bill correctly, but if he did, sounds like the average AP will have a hard time making it if he reports or is forced to report (due to...reporting) exact figures.
UNKewlJ may breath a nasally sigh of relief however, as it will not affect her income.

Here's what I posted on my PFA site about it....
----------
Many of the people clutching pearls are either losing gamblers, non-gamblers, or ones who blatantly lie to the IRS about their wins-losses anyway.
There's confusion about this law.
It does NOT limit your loss deduction to 90% of your winnings. That would be an absolute disaster, as everyone would be responsible for gambling taxes, even those who get absolutely destroyed by the casino.
Instead, it is essentially a reduction to your loss claim. So whatever you claim is a loss against your taxable winnings, you now have to multiply that number by 0.9 first.
So here's how it would work:
If you won $100k and lost $100k, your tax liability would be on $10k of gambling income, despite breaking even.
If you won $100k and lost $112k, your tax liability would be zero. That's because your claimed gambling income would be $100k - (0.9 * $112k), which equals less than zero.
If you won $900k and lost $800k, your tax liability would be on $180k worth of gambling income, despite only being up $100k. That's calculated by $900k - (0.9 * 800k).
From what I can tell, nothing else changes. Much of this is self-reported, especially poker cash game results.
The burden of proof is on the IRS, not you.
Finally, there's the matter of "sessions". The above does NOT apply to sessions, which are accounted for by strictly subtracting losses from wins.
For example, if I won $200k in a session but lost the $200k back in the same session, my session income would be 0, and this 90% loss reduction would not apply. So this would be entered into the records as a $0 win, and thus not affect taxes.
But what defines a session? The IRS isn't clear, and has never been clear. And that leaves a lot open to interpretation.
If you're on a gambling trip and win the first day but lose the second, how many sessions is that? One? Two? More?
If you go to dinner in the middle of gambling and take 3 hours, is it considered the same session when you resume?
What about online poker? If you remain logged in for the entire year, can you claim it's one long session? And if it's based upon logins, what if you're in the middle of playing and your computer crashes, and you restart it? Is that a new session, or a continuation of the old one? If you're sitting and waiting for opponents to sit with you heads up after a match is done, and finally one sits with you 6 hours later, is that a new session or the same session?
Without accurate definitions from the IRS, gamblers can rely upon broad definitions of "sessions" to somewhat neuter this new law (and do so legally).
Finally, there's the matter of audits.
Very few pro gamblers get audited. As you might imagine, I know a LOT of pro gamblers -- through poker, sportsbetting, and casino advantage play worlds. Of all those gamblers, very few have been audited due to their handling of their tax filings. Of those I know who did get audited, almost all of them were people who simply didn't file tax returns for a few years in a row, and the IRS eventually came knockin'. But among those who file taxes and voluntarily send money to the IRS that they weren't otherwise expecting to receive, they tend to get left alone.
This law could be difficult on tournament players, though. It's much easier for the IRS to claim that one tournament comprises a "session" (though there's a valid argument against that), and casinos keep meticulous records of tournament buyins versus cashes. Sportsbettors could also have an issue for this, especially if a "session" is thought to be a day's slate of games.
We will have to see what happens. It's possible the Big Beautiful Bill won't pass. It's possible this bill will get amendments in the House, and this law could be dropped or modified. It's also possible that the IRS will simply choose not to enforce this.
This isn't good, but it's not going to have the earthshattering impact that many on X are predicting.
That's your only issue with the big beautiful bill? Well, I guess the deficit spending wouldn't bother a liberal. No, I don't like this provision in the bill. I'm still trying to figure out exactly who put it in the bill? Overall, I have to support the bill, not for myself but for my large extended family who are not gamblers. They are working stiffs. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, tax deduction for car loan interest, no tax on SS. etc., will effect probably over 100 million americans for the good. All 47 Dems voted against these policies. So the working class voting for dems is voting against their interests.Quote:

Are there any provisions of this bill that will help the Crimmster, or is he solely going to get his Medicare docked, his duly reported slot income tax increased, and then come back and ask for more?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyz8PTWReWo
Anything good from this bill just helps big earners like me, locking in the benefits I've been enjoying on my corps and personal income since 2017. Increased deductions for my businesses? Check. Nice to eliminate that fed estate tax too. Not one of those things is going to help someone who lives hand to foot.
Lol I was like why you attacking me? Then I realized I'm a acuntinquestion not mcunt.Quote:

No tax on OT or tips?
What moron thought that one up?
Income is income, we all should pay our fair share.
The bill doesn't affect machine pros much because we don't have many losing days. You can define a session as 1 day. A lot of gamblers are now calling a 4 day trip to vegas 1 session....and the IRS is not firing them up about it.
So let's say a machine pro books a typical 10K win for the month. He had two losing days totally $400. He ran $1600 in expenses. He can write off only $1800 of the $2000.
So instead of paying tax on an 8K net he has to pay taxes on an 8.2K net.
The other moron did, too.Quote:

The logic is not totally immediately obvious to me, but if Paul and Massie agree on it, I'm inclined to give them a pass.
Of course the finalized legislation when approved by the swamp will likely be twisted and counterproductive.

I see the point to an extent but a couple of objections occur to me...
1. Tips in the US are largely perfunctory, moreso than performance bonuses paid by employers (in finance or sales for example),
2. We still tax those latter forms of income anyway.
3. Many(?) states have laws that allow employers to pay restaurant staff below minimum wage, which will now have the effect of arbitrarily giving one class of employees a lower tax burden than any other, regardless of how much they make.
Agreed. It seems arbitrarily selective when so many other aspects of government punish success and reward failure. I would want to see the full text of what Paul and Massie were proposing, but it doesn't matter because no one ever listens to them anyway.Quote:

Yeah wtf kind of America is this? The people so grossly not represented, they can be shit on like this to pay out to the Lords and Dukes that have bought the USA out from under us. The government leaders have grossly enriched themselves while our country is locked into debt we cannot possibly ever pay. Healthcare cuts will kill off so many to pay for tax cuts and ignore the reality of the debt. Our system is broken.Quote:

Gentlemen,
I have yet to see a mention of the most salient aspect of this -- Trump had to be aware of this add-on, and of all the signees, he was likely most aware and sensitive to it, which means draw what conclusions you may.
This is a man who bankrupted three NJ casinos, ran the most high profile casino (Taj) at the time, tried to get a casino license in LV (and failed somehow), and so on. To me the idea that he wasn't aware of these lines in the bill is very, very far-fetched. It's his business, or was until he kind of mangled his investors (he did alright, as he generally does).
I also like to tell the story, which I will another day, of my superior half being in the room when Trump tried to acquire a loan from Stardust-type connections in LV for an LV casino. I guess save that story for a rainy day.
The point is, it is unlikely the Trumpster did not know he was sending poker players and select other gamblers over the proverbial falls without a life raft. Rough break, some might say.
Dietz, someone might also suggest, you seem unsurprised. Well, honestly, I am surprised (a little). But if you guys put two and two together, and think for a second about the second-level consequences of this, it sort of makes sense. But you need a little more common sense and historical perspective than gets displayed at most casino-sponsored poker tournaments (that's a dig at the folks who have hypnotized themselves into swallowing the "+EV " Koolaid).
Trump of all people is not going to know every provision of a 1,000+ page tax bill that he signed shortly after it passed the Senate.
He also doesn't have a line item veto so even if he knew and cared there's no way he would have scuttled the whole bill over this one item.

This is not terribly opaque, but it takes a little grasp of the president's gestalt and owes-ies.
Anyway, that's enough. If the response is, "He doesn't read every line of a thousand-page bill," well, no kidding, Sherlock.
Sometimes I wonder how you guys, bright as you are, make it across the street without a signal. I mean, holy fuck, some of you think the world began with your birth.
By report Trump isn't much on reading anything at all.
"Just tell me, hit the high points" kind of a guy.
Argh...
You seem to be taking for granted a premise (that Trump would know about this item) that seems far from obvious and then building some sort of sandcastle of insinuations upon it.

I wasn't trying to change my vote. I was trying to vote again :cool:.
I should have voted 6 stars when I had the chance.
Leave it to the little people to be worried about this provision.
Here's a brilliant idea: just figure out how to win....it solves every tax issue known.
Unreal.

Ditz doesnt mention sportsbettors being affected. WTF? Or I should say honest sports bettors. Aint that right, ditz? The easiest thing in the world for a pro gambler to do is pencil the IRS. Ain’t that right, ditz?
Ooooooooooooops!
The loss column in ditz’ gambling log book goes up 10% this year. Aint that right, ditz?
But dont pencil yourself so much that your bills amount to more than your declared income. And make sure that your win/loss isnt traceable, or do your penciling on the part that isnt traceable. The IRS looks for lifestyle larger than declared income can support. Otherwise, they are at the gambler’s mercy.
“Honest gambler” is an oxymoron just like ‘honest tout.” Aint that right, ditz?
I’m sure you’ve got your pencil sharpened.

Looks like the Mormons as well as the christian right are using politics as opposed to proselytizing and persuasion to achieve social change which parallels their teachings.
Call it a "sin tax."
Gamblers starting to complain.

I knew about the gamblers tax in the bill before it was finalized and still supported the bill. To much in there that my relatives like. I like 90% of what Trump has done. Trump didn't know anything about it anyway. It was snuck into the bill by a Mormon. Was Trump supposed to kill the bill because of one little piece? Use your head redietz.Quote:

Use your head, mickey. Do you really think "a Mormon" sneaked this into that bill? Or do you think it's a classic "red cape" political move?
In other words, find some front man unaffected by consequences of introducing something and have him play masthead. He drapes himself in a red flag, and the bulls decide he's the problem. It's so textbook, it'll probably show up in political textbooks a hundred years from now.
Call me a cynic. LOL. Or maybe I like to squint a little bit when the sun's in my eyes.
Honestly, I have a pretty good idea what's going on here, but that'll stay with me 'til the worms get me. I'm just annoyed that I didn't grasp it sooner. I had to be hit over the head with the skillet.

LOL. I'm not a slot AP. Unlike some people, the whole Leonardo Da AP schtick is not my thing. If you think I'll be bothered to look it up so as to appear erudite, you are wrong. I do not know off the top of my head. Moreover, I do not care. Why would I?Quote:

So, does that answer your question, mickey?
That was way too easy, dude. But I'll let you off the hook. It's pretty much sheer luck that I knew the answer. I just happened to witness it live the other day. But I will emphasize, because you tend to play first then figure things out more precisely after ballparking, that Native American casinos are not beholden to anyone. If they want to fuck you, you are fucked.

Then Derek Stevens of Circa posted:

@DerekJStevens
Thank you Congresswoman Titus. Three things needed:
1. Eliminate the .25% Federal Excise tax on sports wagers.
2. Eliminate the 90% deductibility and go back to what worked.
3. Raise the Slot threshold. $2,000 is better than $1,200 but it needs to be $5,000.
The dichotomy here is Circa is a member of the American Gaming Association. But here is Stevens pushing for a lot more than just the gamblers tax repeal. He understands, as do other casino owners, that this measure is bad for the industry.
I took a look at the leaders of AGA. They don't appear to have any experience in gaming.
Of further note, Sen. Mike Crapo is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Two other members of the committee, Grassley and Cornyn have said they don't know how the gamblers tax measure got into the bill. Cornyn said he doesn't know what purpose it would serve.
Then again it could be that he, like me, simply enjoys flaming idiots, assholes and fellow trolls.Quote:

I agree. There's an absolute joy in tossing around insults to those who truly deserve them, and damaging direct hit-zingers are especially satisfying. And this place is a smorgasbord of low-life losers and little people who have always been easy to chew up and spit out.Quote:

Actually, anybody with any brains could have and should have anticipated this. i did not, and should have. I am an idiot. Anybody with open eyes and an open mind should have a pretty good clue what's happened. I mean, it's not like the Trumpster came from the hairdressing industry. I was, I repeat, an idiot. Don't know why mickey thinks being an idiot makes me smarter than everyone else.
Not sure what that makes mickey. I guess a step below idiot.
I'm being mean? WTF? Do you not read ditz' posts? They are filled with insults. I'm just responding in kind. Snap out of it. If you want to complain about someone being mean then complain about all the assholes being mean on this site. Don't try to blame it all on one person. Either that or fuck off.Quote:

I kind of always felt this was a real possibility, but I idiotically assumed it was more likely under Harris than Trump. My bad. If I had rubbed a few neurons together, I would have realized I was likely dead wrong.
I was stupid, but I am prepared. And according to mickey, that makes me a bad man. LOL. Sorry, dude, I quit the Boy Scouts 50 years ago.
So I will get a kick out of this. Ninety percent of whatever edges I have are intact. I'm thinking, for some people who will go unmentioned, 90% of their edges just went out the window. And somehow I am to blame for this being the situation.
We need a new term. You know, for the "sharps" who suddenly became "squares" overnight.
Kamala Harris made me uncomfortable. Kamala came across as creepy and disturbing. This was a Presidential Case where both Candidates were NOT good choices.
Donald Trump honestly should have been in prison for being a convicted Felon, convicted of multiple crimes. If MOST people were convicted Felons, convicted of multiple crimes, they would be rotting in prison, not being elected President.
Kamala Harris LAUGHED at serious questions such as," Miss Harris what are your thoughts on global warming and climate change?" Kamala responded,"Joy comes in the morning," while LAUGHING. The interviewer honestly looked confused and disgusted by Kamala as if thinking,"This potential President comes across as STUPID. God help us all!" :eek: The RIGHT answer would have been,"I feel there needs to be more focus on the dangers of global warming and climate change," with a serious expression like -.- , not :D Even Judge Joe Brown, an ex coworker of Kamala called Kamala stupid and they were ex co
YOUR #1 mistake was waking up today.Quote:

This retard has never had a gambling year where his losses didn't outpace his wins by an order of magnitude. This retard should stay out of this thread because it doesn't concern him at all.
My post wasn't ready to be sent yet and I tried to edit, but my Internet turned off on me and by the time my Internet came back, the edit window was closed.. My sentence about Joe Brown wasn't completed the right way. I wrote,"And they were ex co when I meant to erase that part completely since I already mentioned Joe Brown and she were ex coworkers. Damn Internet turning off on me! :/
Kamala was asked,"If you were President , what would you do differently than Joe did?" She answered ,"Nothing," which was the wrong answer. Joe Biden came across as VERY senile and VERY incompetent during his Presidency. WHY did Kamala think that saying she would do nothing different than Joe did was the RIGHT answer? :confused:
The right answer would have been something like,"As President, I would run America much better than Joe did. I would lower taxes for poor people, lower inflation to 2000's Economy, and make America safer. "
Donald Trump caused some of my Family to be deported. I didn't even know my sime of my Family would be getting deported under Trump's Presidency. And we did NOT get a good economy under Trump's Presidency. Our economy is fucked with inflation and Tariffs. Voting for Donald Trump was a huge mistake.
What good Presidential Candidates. Donald Trump is a convicted felon who caused some of my Family to be deported and Kamala was a creepy, disturbing, stupid, joke. Third party would have been the best choice.

I don't much care who or how a candidate fucks as long as the target isn't me.
BTW Oregon has a gay governor and she seems to be doing just fine.
If he is going third party then he isn't messing with primaries. If you want to burn money to get your way, it might very well be easier to put up a candidate that'll steal votes away from Republicans in battle districts.
It is going to be a beautiful thing. So beautiful. So wonderful.
No I dont read them all. I have a life and priorities in life. I dont read 99% of this shit. You're definitely insecure by your response to me as well.Quote:

At least not a confirmed one, your customer if she was a woman, might have been her lesbian lover & she just never came out of the closet.
In fairness though, Brazil & Iceland can be easy to mix up.
While they seem a lot different on the surface they have a lot in common too.
They both have a lot of volcanic activity. They both take soccer very seriously. And both are major contributors to music.
Brazil gave the world Samba & Bossa Nova, & Iceland gave the world Bjork.
After her 2016 impeachment from the presidency, she screen-tested to play Velma's girlfriend on Scooby-Doo.Quote:
