Big beautiful bill to fuck gamblers.

[redietz]

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.

So let me get this straight. I'm the moron for still having the majority of my money in offshores not associated with US companies? LOL.

And mickey is the brilliant, sophisticated gambler whose president (and mine, to be clear) just threw him a curve ball that honestly I did not see coming either, but that does not surprise me in the least because (1) it makes sense in the overall scheme of things and (2) really, I should have anticipated this.

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.

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.

And he didn't throw me a curve ball. Slot AP's are least affected by the bill. See if you can figure out why and get back to us. I'll wait.

A quote off twitter:

"The .000000002% of gamblers that were honest about their winnings will now be reduced to .000000000!%."

The no brainer is the loss column goes up 10%. But you know that.

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.
