RobSinger crying out for attention

[LoneStarHorse]

I see that RobSinger is crying out for attention... Last week he said "I'm done no longer posting here"

Now he's back with his same old insults, my advice to everyone s just ignore him...He appears to be an Internet troll who thrives on making everything about him. Probably because he had his milk money taken from him daily while in school....

So I propose for everyone in here to ignore him, in a few days he will just vanish again...

I've never drank milk.

Look, many of the credibility issues would go away if Rob sent in transcripts because then if his reported gambling income didn't date/time match the large jackpots he photo-posted here, well, then it would be clear he was fibbing. He posted the jackpot pictures -- just match the reported winnings to the dates he posted the pictures. Nothing hard about that. Why not do that as a first step?

One answer would be that maybe he didn't claim those winnings, if winnings there were, which would undercut his claims of being a law-abiding citizen in umpteen posts. But nobody's going to hang him for that.

It's not going to happen, why re-open this can of worms? The horse has been carted away.

[redietz]

Agreed. Better to discuss realities and what everyone will be doing going forward.

Both tax returns and tax transcripts would not match photos or dates or even amounts of jackpots. Only the individual W2Gs would do that and taxpayers are not required to send their copy to the IRS since the IRS already has a copy, and I doubt the IRS would send copies back to taxpayers who asked for or paid for a copy of an old return.

But with that said... it sure would be nice if Rob sent us something, wouldn't it?

True, however, the sum of the jackpot pictures he showed should at least show up as a minimum value.

As you yourself said, "it's never going to happen". It does run up the post count on this forum though.

[Rob.Singer]

I published photos of my larger jackpots and gave my original W2G's to my managing editor so he could handle the hate calls for years at GT, and it only served to agitate the critics even more. It never made a difference anywhere other than making Chuck DiRocco admire me more as the years went by.

No one is going to believe anything if they don't want to. I've seen and heard every excuse in the book: W2G's can be manufactured (all you need is an old one) photos can be manipulated, pics of cash means nothing because it only means you "lost" it all afterwards anyway, and time/date stamps can be altered which I had no idea of until the crying foul began here when I was using an old digital camera for shots. It never ends so I ended it. Remember that funny $25 machine insignia that was "obviously photoshopped" from a $2 game? Even after Alan went to Wynn and posted his own clear pictures, that did nothing to stop the belly-aching. So the best thing to do is let the people who want to believe whatever they want, alone to do that.

I know it's not required, but because I've always had a mountain of W2G's, I've always sent in copies of each with our tax returns just to solidify my numbers. I believe and have been advised that if you inundate the IRS with valid paperwork then you're seen as playing their own game, and even if they audit you it'll automatically start off on the right foot. And around 2008 I started throwing the messy piles out after I was sure they got my returns and had no adverse issues, because you really don't need them for anything. They get copies from the casinos of what you have. If any extras show up in a "math error" letter, you refer them to your total vs. theirs and they'll find their error. This has happened to me once. You let them do the work because you've already done yours.

My friend Rob, here's the problem: any player at high limit games can have W2Gs showing big wins. Of course you had W2Gs showing big wins. But what everyone wants to see is an accounting that shows NET wins.

Did you ever publish in GT any kind of accounting that showed you were a net winner? If you did that would go a long way.

Makes sense.

I'm now around Nevada casinos throughout the winter months, I still play, but it's maybe once every 10 days and for 90 minutes tops. In other words, recreationally and without goals or any real meaning--and nothing over $2. The days of sweating it out at the $10, $25 & $100 machines are over for me.

That was funny. Succinct and funny.

Has anyone? I offered that public challenge and regularly published a tally which means nothing, and as you've seen from arci's pitiful 3 years of supposed "net profits", that 4th year very likely wiped out whatever little he claimed to win and more. No one can tell. But when you suddenly go from two years with only one W2G each along with tiny profits and then to $26000 worth of tax forms while mitigating the win with a $26000 loss, you know there was some frenzied losing going on well beyond the $26k. Typical AP hidden truth.

Funny, how do you "know"? You claiming to be psychic again? LOL.

In fact, I stated exactly my position back in January 2015 right on this forum. Whether I won or lost got down to my New Year's trip. It turns out that with the money I came home with it would have been a winning year. However, my actual winnings were on January 1st where it doesn't legally count for 2014. That left me with a $467 loss in 2014 which is what I used for my taxes. However, I personally still think of it as a winning year even if it again was only a couple of thousand. After all, I only gambled 3 months.

So, now you know. You won't need to make silly guesses and look like an idiot.

[redietz]

So, arci, to tie this in with the other thread, if you only gambled for three months, as Rob did that one year, did you investigate whether there was some way to seasonally reduce your taxes because it was only 1/4 year? Or is Rob in a different category because he was a professional for his 1/3 year?

[RS__]

Why was Rob a professional for only 1/3 of the year?

Hey Rob Singer...

Why not move on from this bullshit ???
From now on when you play just post a dated photo when you hit a jackpot, it's really quite simple..

From what I've read on this forum I tend to believe you had a good run, but then gave it back with interest...
