    Nice hit!

    I've had issues with PayPal reporting transactions that shouldn't be taxed, so I would recommend going straight from FD to your bank account. Fanduel will send you a tax form at the end of the year. I wouldn't want to risk PayPal reporting the same cash a second time to the IRS.

    Got any plans for the $$$?

    I would think about 10,000 of that is taxable

    Keep it in go for 6 figures kid. Remember the first time I hit 6 figures. Oddly it wasn’t enough. We are selfish people probably should withdraw it and quit gambling take the money and move on. Think that’s probably the best advice you will never take.

    Good job.

    Had a couple of minor cashes myself, I wheeled Jokic with two discount players (Tyrus Jones and Wagner).
    Not big cashes, enough to cover a couple of weeks of entry fees.

    Yeah, you got to pay taxes on a FD win, you can't escape that.

    You went from one end of the spectrum to the other in the same message, but ultimately let’s hope he reads the entire post for his sake.
