        interesting. can you claim losses to offset your gains, as long as its not an overall net loss? in other words, can you get your gambling income down to zero? sometimes i wonder why people dont just sweep the floors for losing tickets. do you write off airfare to vegas, hotel expenses, etc., as a business expense?

          You guys need to get your stories in order. I can be the sperm-donating bodybuilder from London, and I can be the semi-literate MMA handicapping poker player from Dublin, but both is a bit of a stretch.

              Oh yeah! I can confirm that at least one of the girls on the card wasn't interviewed by MMAOB. All I can say.

                  yeah in gambling context you are quite right. I meant more in terms of general cost of living

                    Nunya should just buy a shitty fast food franchise. He would get all kinds of tax breaks.

                      Yeah, you can claim losses to offset the wins, if you file as a professional you basically just sum them up on schedule C. If you file as a hobbyist, you cannot sum them, you're supposed to declare each session individually and then declare the losses as a deduction. So, for a reasonable size poker player or sportsbetting hobbyist, with $10,000/yr in income you may have to claim $1,000,000 as winnings and then take $990,000 as deductions, which causes a mess of problems.

                      Yeah, I take every deduction afforded to me. All my traveling expenses, home office expense, internet, cell phone, books, everything. You can deduct down to 0, just can't go lower than that like you can with a normal business.

                      And people DO pick up losing tickets for tax purposes.

                        Right, but it all goes into the same pot. If I move into a place where I save 50% of my income in taxes, but then I spend twice as much for a loaf of bread, I've at least broken even. More, if I'm still earning more than I spend every month.

                            Absolutely. But if you hate being beholden to other people it's the best game in town.

                              granted it's from something as reputable as expatistan but yeh.

                                  Singapore is a tiny area filled with bankers and the Kelong Kings (soccer match fixing syndicates) tho! Not surprising how expensive it is there

                                    I switched to vodka, no more beer for sac, got a bad case of the gout.

                                    Only pooped twice today, things are on the up and up.

                                      I see that focking clown Gabey is back to trolling the threads. Focking guy amazes me. Self acclaimed great "MMA bettor." Give me a focking break. Kid only posts losers, but somehow he always comes out a "winner."

                                      Pre fight:

                                      SBR member x: "Gabey, who you like in the Lawler-Voelker fight?"

                                      Gabey: "I really Lawler to win but he shouldn't be -280. Think you gotta play Voelker at those odds."

                                      Lawer wrecks Voelker.

                                      Post fight:

                                      SBR member X: "Focking Gabey with another terrible pick."

                                      Gabey: "What the fock are you talking about I said I liked Lawler to win."

                                      SBR member X: "Yeah but you said Lawler was overvalued and Voelker was worth it at those odds."

                                      Gabey: "I said Lawler was not worth those odds but I had him to close out a parlay of mine, and now have a winning percentage of 76 because I'm a focking great capper."

                                      SBR member: "Post the ticket."

                                      Gabey: "my dog ate it."


                                      Focking kid has to be biggest phaget not only on SBR but on the entire internet.

                                                I like this gem by Rubberphag.

                                                "Absolutely. Christopher is going to box Anderson up until he makes him quit."

                                                Pal, you focking called it.

                                                  Another gem by Rubberphaget.

                                                  "Has everyone posted their slips yet for Weidman? Eazy money fellas. The most bet Silva opponent ever."

                                                  It was bro.

                                                        Everyone thinks Carmouche is fighting Nunes. Nunes is fighting Gaff. Nobody knows who Andrade is. That is why Liz is -900

                                                            Yeah but meng you need to get off work early or something. Check in more often. The stone cold bet of the weekend was Andrade +3.5 +240
