I feel like this thread is meant to get a rise out of some here, that don't appreciate all the government "giveaways" associated with this situation.
If you are entitled to a government loan associated with your business and loss of business and income during this unprecedented situation, that is fine. Good for you. But that money is not supposed to be used for your gambling bankroll, it is supposed to be used for your business interests and to replace lost income.
Now, I as a professional gambler (self employed) qualify for unemployment benefits under the expanded eligibility included in the CARES act. As of today I haven't seen a penny yet, currently owed 9 back weeks. Nevada seems to be one of two remaining states that has not yet made payments to self employed and gig workers. Nevada seems to have had one problem after another regarding implementing this. I believe there is now a lawsuit against the state and it's unemployment program regarding their incompetence.
So at some point I should get this money, plus 1 more week before Casinos open. I will not file for any weeks after the casino are open. I personality separate my money, living money for the year, bankroll and personal savings, and consider this unemployment as income that I lost when the casinos shut down, no different than anyone else who was forced out of work. I have an AP friend that believes for a solo AP, it really is one big fund. That all money is the players BR. So if you buy into THAT theory, I guess it is sort of going to my bankroll.
