Don’t blow it all on gas,groceries and keno.
I don’t know how to respond to this comment. Is it a joke? Or, has this person never read any of my books or the multitude of my writings over the last 13+ years – all of which would make clear that I would not be “blowing” much, if anything, on keno or any other low-paying game unless there was a extremely lucrative promotion or coupon attached – which is very rare. Brad laughed at this comment, “I’ve never known you to blow money on anything. You are nutty tight!”
On other comments: People can always e-mail me at [email protected]. I enjoy hearing from my readers and I do acknowledge all e-mails as soon as I have time. I often can answer your questions IF the answer can be short. However, so many gambling questions require a very complex explanation – and in those situations I must steer you to one of my books that cover that subject. This is especially true about taxes, when so much depends on your complete financial circumstances. I also can not give specific suggestions on where you should play. Again, that depends on so many of your individual factors.
I remember the following quote:
“I get tired of hearing that a female rape victim is NEVER to blame. There is more than one way to say “Yes” than with words out of your mouth. ”
“has this person never read any of my books or the multitude of my writings over the last 13+ years”
I was Jean wondering if you are proud of what you write in your blogs cause a lot of Rape Victims and other lost respect for you after”I get tired of hearing that a female rape victim is NEVER to blame. There is more than one way to say “Yes” than with words out of your mouth. “
Your tax story seems to offer a very good reason to NEVER gamble in Indiana, or any other states that engage in legalized theft of gamblers’ winnings. You may have recovered your stolen money, but only after a great deal of trouble, which means that the vast majority of victims don’t: the amounts are usually too small to justify the extensive fight necessary to recover them.
At least the IRS realizes that a jackpot is not the same as a “win”. I’ve been quite successful with them in this regard–probably because I DO pay my taxes on my ACTUAL winnings. And you don’t need to file a Schedule C as a “professional gambler”–you just need to keep decent records.
Of course, all this will be moot when decent VP finally disappears completely, and slot clubs pay 0.00001% in free play or comps.
They also don’t know that you don’t have to buy groceries or gas in Las Vegas, especially if you don’t play Keno! Las Vegas is still a frugal place to live if you play video poker.
