if you live in the u.s.a.and are a winning gambler on offshore betting or lets say hit a random 10 team parley for 100k do you have to claim it to the i.r.s i would say you do but what are the risks.pros and cons for this topic.do the feds really even care about how much you might have lost.would like thoughts on this topic.

(not american) but what I Know of the subject is, you are taxed on all your income in the states. Here in Ireland, you are not. Now, lets say you won 100k, if you withdraw the cash in small installments, say $500 - $1000 at a time over the space of a year or two, then you should not have a problem. I would say the bigger the amounts, the more you will be noticed.
Even with small amounts, you may be noticed because if your bank is on the ball, that may notice that your account has had a net of 100K over the space of 1 to 2 years.
PLEASE do not take what I say as fact, I'm merely making a guess from the knowledge that I gained from working as a bookies CS.Comment -
yeah thanks i just wanted to know how exactly this works.i have no worries now at all.i imagine alot of people get money different ways and such but once it starts becoming a threat i think the feds will start moving.Comment -
You could play at a book that offers Western Union or Moneygram as a withdrawal option??? NO paper trail.Comment -

I have a few years back lol, but that was before the euro took over so it wasnt all that bad.Originally posted by TheBeautifulGameYou haven't been to Dublin, fecking expensiveComment -
You should come here know, the price of a pint of beer (I know, I know, Irish, and using alcohol as an example of expense) is 6 Euro in the city centre. You would be VERY lucky if you got one for 5 Euro. So approx $8 for a pint!Originally posted by SquirrelComment -
LOL screw that, where I live I can get a pint for (converted) e1.97/$2.40

Mail me over a few + a bottle of whiskey will ya lol. Despite, the expense, Ireland is a pretty nice place to live, if you can avoid the scumbags in the ciy, the rubbish, the smell, the majority of people, the gardai, the government......oh wait......Originally posted by SquirrelLOL screw that, where I live I can get a pint for (converted) e1.97/$2.40Comment -
The same could be said about England to be honest, but i'm lucky that I live in the countryside so its ok for me - one thing I hate is EVERYTHING related to city-life.Comment -
Agreed. Live in what you call the suburbs myself. Lived in the city for 6 months with a girlfriend once. Hated living directly in the city and in the end hated the girlfriend lol. Have you lived in the countryside all your life? TBH, I wouldn't like to live in the city myself but having lived so close to the city all my life, I couldn't stand living in the countryside.
Whenever I was there, I honestly felt claustrophobic! Typical Irish, we're never happy.Comment -
I spent about 6 months in Sheffield when I was a youngster (16) but hated it with a passion, though I guess I was probably too young to really get what was going on with life at that point - I think if life sent me that way for the purpose of finding work or something I would go back, but I would NEVER live anywhere South of Sheffield. One thing I am proud of more than anything is that I'm a Northerner
I just dont think I could deal with the amount of people in the city, I love my own space and privacy, I love being able to take a pee in a bus stop without people seeing me (lol) and I love the fact I can walk anywhere safely at any time of day and without bumping into 1500 people crammed together on the footpath when all I want is to get to tesco for some fecking beer!!
You dont generally get alot of what I crave in life in the city, especially one as big as Sheffield.Comment -

Defo an issue about spending a lot of time in the city. Despite the fact that I do not live directly in the city, I go there very often to what you would call socialise. As I have mentioned, scumbugs in the city, (similar in every way to CHAVS.) are bad enough sober, they are 5x worse drunk.Originally posted by SquirrelI spent about 6 months in Sheffield when I was a youngster (16) but hated it with a passion, though I guess I was probably too young to really get what was going on with life at that point - I think if life sent me that way for the purpose of finding work or something I would go back, but I would NEVER live anywhere South of Sheffield.

A few beverages out with the mates can turn nasty because these people decide to set upon yourself or your mates or both. I'm not saying random attacks don't happen to completely innocent people in the countryside however, I'm willing to bet that the chances are significantly less in the country. At least most of the time you get to walk home with no issues and no fears whatsoever for you safety. That part, I can envy.
I guess there is pros and cons to living anywhere or going anywhere.Comment -
Nope - free to take a whizz away from all prying eyes usuallyOriginally posted by OmgUrMom
..and yeah TBG I agree, pros and cons to every place to lie, depending on who you are and what kind of life you want.Comment -
When's the last time you heard about somebody being busted by the IRS for failing to pay taxes on offshore gambling winnings?Comment -

I think talking about peeing in bus stops and the price of alcohol is more interesting than talking about taxes, just my opinion like.
