You did say $100,000 and not one million, right? All you have to do is claim losses that equal the w2g tax forms and put it on your gambling record whether or not you lost, and you're OK. I do that every year just like everyone else does. Singer didn't say anything about taxes other than he filed as a pro on a different schedule than I do, and he had a lot of deductions that helped out on his returns.
The tipping thing, I used to tip all handpays regularly and happily until Singer climbed all over me for why I do it. I felt the employees needed tips to make a good wage, then he told me it was none of my concern what they make and that they never came by to give me a tip when I was losing. He said no one tips at Walgreens or the bank so why give the cashiers anything. That makes sense. Then when I really thought about it that night when I got home, I realized how much money I was wasting on these tips that really are not earned by anyone but me, the gambler, and that the true reason I always tipped was out of what Singer called the intimidation factor, because you don't want that uncomfortable feeling as the floor people walk away with dirty looks on their faces after being stiffed. Now when I get any handpays I just smile and say thank you, and the money I won gambling remains mine because I'm not intimidated any longer. Singer, thank you a lot!
