I understand why you think that. I am a small time gambler on sports, purely American football. I start each season with 10 bucks and end with 5k-20k.
And then I stop, until the next season starts.
Really fucks up my taxes.
- LgWoodenBadger 1y agoIn what way does/would/could it “fuck up your taxes?”
- Dylan16807 1y agoAnd you don't upgrade that to "$10 or 10% of what I won last year, whichever is bigger" because...?
- dgfitz 1y agoBecause for me it’s entertainment. It’s akin to going to a movie.
- Dylan16807 1y agoYou average 1000x returns in a year but you won't reinvest because it would be less fun for the entire two years it would take you to win tens or hundreds of millions. There's no very specific situation where you're technically getting that money but you can't scale it up, your original statement gave an accurate impression, you're that good but don't want the money. I don't know if you're lying to us or lying to yourself.
