    I was shitting in high cotton all weekend. Was a great feeling. Plus it made gambling the rest of the time seem fun.

    No need. They give you a tax statement. My accountant will get it in January. :D

    You're a lot more loose when you're up and playing on their money.

    I'd claim that I lost it all. Fuck the IRS.

    LOL, indeed.

    The casinos have these nifty little "win/loss" statements for your taxes. You can write off up to the amount that you actually won during the year.

    It works out well because if you win $50,000 and you have what the casino considers $50,000 worth of play, it's a wash. A lot of times if you're playing on a machine you may get a small hit like $37.50, etc and instead of pocketing it you just play it out. You may actually only gamble $10,000 of your own money, for the year, but the amount of spins you get on the machine, from playing out smaller hits, makes it look like $50,000.
