    I played at 5dimes a lot and killed it until they took it away. DId you play there?

    PALMS---tons of video poker in years past, very little in the slot arena..................and very seldom at all anymore on either front.


    Yes, played at 5dimes, and still do.

    Thanks again for doing this...............

    I saw software Fishhead had on the computer when I was out there a few months ago
    It runs 10,000 hands at a time and gives some sort of betting percentages on given machines

    That's for Video Poker, not slots..............Video Poker AND Slots both highly beatable.....................a few professionals are up mid to high six figures AND more between the two.

    That's sad.

    So, you have this trip planned-- and you just had to sign onto SBR (and I'm guessing EOG), to bump a 2-year old thread?

    Holy fuk, that is just sad.

    And Fish, I didn't ask you where you were going.

    I asked if you were a cuckold.

    How can one be a long term winner on video poker when the breaking point is hitting the right royal flush; but this leads to you being forced into reports to the IRS of your winnings, which would take a large cut of the Royal flush winnings.

    I'm sure he found a way. He was a raging alcoholic, but overcame that, and could be in control and have a few drinks now.

    One owes taxes only on NET winnings.

    i.e------

    $183,000 in wins adding up all sessions(line 21)
    $103,000 in losses adding up losing sessions(schedule A gambling losses)

    Taxes owed on $80k profit

    All w2g's are listed in a separate section.






    Note--The above is done if one files as a non-professional, as a professional, taxes become a tad more complicating.

    I saw Fishhead about 6 weeks ago at some beat up casino playing penny slots and screaming and yelling at a security guard for no apparent reason

    This guy claims if you play long enough no matter how much your losing the BIG ONE will hit

    I tried for a while...well now INTO A LOAN SHARK FOR 15K

    He neglects to tell you he is in the garbage cans of newspaper stands collecting losing scratch tickets/lottey tickets and picking up losing horse tickets so he could off set his winnings.

    Not needed if one keeps a detailed diary of sessions played........


    One of the biggest misconceptions on the tax front is that one needs losing tickets to offset losses or a win/loss report from a casino......both can be used, but not needed by IRS qualification standards.

    When I had several IRS reported wins I wish that I had to PICK UP losing horse racing tickets to offset the wins. I had plenty of my own
